"Ah Qi," Chi Yanzhou said in a slightly tired voice, "Turn ahead and park in the alley."

The sound of tires rolling over gravel was particularly harsh.

Everyone took the supplies that Lu Nange had taken out of Tong's backpack and carried them out of the car.

Lu Nange touched the car body with his fingertips and the SUV disappeared instantly.

When the setting sun dyed the mottled exterior of the kindergarten into orange.

At the entrance of the alley, several tired figures returned, dragging long shadows.

He Zhuo took out the intercom, and his voice was mixed in with the rustling sound of electricity: "Brother Chi Yi, Old Ji, we are back, help us open the door."

Deep in the alley, Chi Yi's eyes were glued to the crack of the door: "He's one of ours."

He turned around and said, "Open the door, please!"

The sturdy arms of the jar pulled the door open.

"Nannan! Brother!" Gu Wan rushed out, her fingers hanging in the air.

Trembling, he dared not touch Lu Nange's blood-soaked collar, "You...what are you doing..."

Lu Nange gave a tired smile: "Sister Wanwan, don't worry, it's all the blood of zombies."

Gu Qi pressed his sister's shoulder and said, "Let's go in first."

When Da Ge and Wei Hao came over, they just nodded in silence.

Lu Xici: "Da Ge, Haozi, let's wash first."

Rooftop.

Chi Yanzhou took the toolbox handed to him by Lu Nange.

Several boys worked in unison, the dull sound of hammers hitting nails echoing one after another.

Thick curtains were nailed shut layer by layer, sealing the classroom windows tightly.

The sound of desks and chairs being dragged echoed in the corridor.

Lu Xici patted the dust off his hands, turned to Lu Nange and said, "Nannan, it's time to clean up. Go wash first."

Everyone retreated one after another.

Chi Yi dragged a chair to Ji Xian.

Ji Xian was guarding the stairs with a walkie-talkie in hand.

Gu Wanze sat in front of the door of the classroom where Lu Nange was taking a shower, his fingertips unconsciously scratching the mottled wall.

In the classroom, Lu Nange locked the door and took out the folding bathtub filled with water from his backpack.

The warm water wrapped around her tired skin, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction, her tense nerves finally relaxing a little.

The aroma of food wafted from the classroom next door, and the clinking of spatulas mixed with the sizzling sound of ingredients being put into the pot.

He Zhuo stared at the meat tumbling in the pot, swallowing his saliva: "Brother Chi Yi, this smells so good!"

Chi Yi waved the spatula without looking up: "Miss Lu gave me semi-finished products, I was just responsible for heating them up!"

...

After dinner, the boys took turns taking a shower.

When Lu Xici pushed open the classroom door, steam rose up and filled the air.

Lu Nange sat in the corridor and wiped Lu Beiye's hair. The little guy's soft hair was entangled between her fingers.

As obedient as a kitten whose fur has been stroked.

Lu Xici walked over with his long legs and leaned lazily against the wall.

He had just finished a shower, and his short hair was still wet and draped over his forehead.

Drops of water slid down his sharp jawline, leaving dark marks on his collar.

He lowered his eyelashes, and his voice was rare and calm: "Nannan, I'm sorry."

Lu Beiye and Lu Nange paused at the same time, looked at each other, raised their heads in tacit understanding, and said in unison: "Brother, you are up to something again!"

A vein on Lu Xici's forehead jumped.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and rubbed his brow, and lowered his voice a few notes: "Nannan, no matter what happens in the future, put your own safety first, okay?"

Lu Beiye nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Sister, what brother said is right!

I will take care of this newbie brother, you just need to protect yourself!

Don't worry, I will protect you if I can. If I can't, I will protect myself!

I know I am more important to you!"

"Lu Beiye!" Lu Xici raised his foot and kicked lightly.

The little guy reacted very quickly, jumped to the side nimbly, and did not forget to provoke: "Brother, have you ever thought that you can't beat me?"
