Chapter 122 - Payment in person

Bad news: The small base cannot repair Duan Yunhong’s car because there are no suitable glass parts to replace.

The good news: Although his car's windows were broken and some of the exterior was damaged, it was still drivable, albeit a little windy.

Ning Fei was overjoyed when he received the news from Duan Yunhong that "the car cannot be repaired". Zheng Liwen glanced at him and said, "What's so fun about having breakfast?"

Ning Fei said happily: "The zombie tide has been here for so many years, and the small base doesn't have window glass for the Hummer."

Zheng Liwen understood and was also happy: "You mean Director Duan's car? I understand. But as long as it can still be driven, you can go to the next base to have a look. If it doesn't work, you can always change it back to Huichuan. It's just that you have to blow a little on the road. Fortunately, the weather is still quite hot now, so it doesn't matter if it blows a little."

Ning Fei thought about Duan Yunhong's disheveled appearance caused by the wind, and felt that this man was rarely in a mess, and he wanted to take a photo to commemorate it. I guess after this time, Duan Yunhong will probably stock up a bunch of Hummer accessories in his own space.

Zheng Liwen asked again: "What are your plans for today? I guess we'll just rest together in the morning, have some free time in the afternoon, and buy some supplies for the return trip. We'll sleep tonight and leave tomorrow morning. What about you?"

Ning Fei did not answer but asked: "Where are you resting?"

"I just heard that there is an abandoned elementary school in the base. Parking is free and the classrooms have become a gathering place. We will park there and rest in the car in the morning. If you don't want to rest, you can do whatever you want." Zheng Liwen replied, "At night, some people will probably rest in the car and watch the car, and the rest will set up tents next to the car to sleep. If you want to come together, you can squeeze into the car or the tent."

He was talking about the most common way for outbound teams to spend the night, which saves money and ensures safety. Although his team has a good income, everyone used to live in the wild and didn't have so many requirements, so it's normal to sleep outside now.

"If it's on your way, take me to this guesthouse. If not, just drop me off at the nearest intersection." Ning Fei sent an address to his phone. "What time do you leave tomorrow morning? Just pick me up at the address where you dropped me off."

Zheng Liwen glanced at the address, then glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "Are you staying at the guesthouse? With Director Duan?"

"Adults should maintain social distance from each other." Ning Fei answered the question irrelevantly and said this while eating breakfast. Zheng Liwen just thought that he agreed. After all, anyone who was not blind could see the trick between Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong. So Zheng Liwen finally confirmed: "I'll drop you off later and pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Can you... be on time?"

Ning Fei stuffed the last bite of the bun into his mouth and smiled: "As an adult worker, I still have the basic concept of punctuality, don't worry."

When Ning Fei entered the guesthouse room carrying the buns, Duan Yunhong was already sitting on the head of the bed in a bathrobe. Ning Fei raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the large, low-key and luxurious solid wooden bed.

"Looking at you like this, I guess you don't need breakfast. I took the initiative to bring it to you for free." Ning Fei put the breakfast on the table and threw his backpack on the sofa. "There can't be such a bed in this guesthouse, right? Did you bring it from your space?"

Duan Yunhong did not deny it: "Otherwise? For a small place like this, it's good enough to have a guesthouse running. How can you expect such good furniture?"

"How big a space did you set? You spent all your luck on this. No wonder you didn't change your attack ability." As he spoke, Ning Fei leaned over and touched the quilt on the bed. "Tsk tsk, a four-piece bedding set is also a good thing, right? You have all this, but why don't you prepare a few pieces of glass, Lara Croft."

Duan Yunhong didn't answer the question about the car window, and only asked: "If you want to sit, sit. If you want to get in, get in. What's the big deal about touching it?"

Ning Feile said: "I wear this when I fight. I'm afraid you'll dislike it if I sit on it."

Duan Yunhong said: "I've said it many times, I don't have mysophobia."

"Then I hate it myself." Ning Fei waved his hand, "I'm going to take a shower first. I've been working all night for so many days, and my sweat has rotted all over my body. I didn't feel it when I was hanging out with those teammates who smelled like me before, but when I see you are so clean, I feel ashamed of myself."

As he spoke, he walked into the bathroom, leaving Duan Yunhong's words stuck in his throat. But the next second, Ning Fei poked his head out again: "There are new disposable items in there. Did you leave them for me?"

Duan Yunhong responded coldly: "Leave it for my own use."

Ning Fei didn't believe him at all. He had space to use whenever he wanted, so why did he need to put a set of toiletries neatly in the bathroom? It was provided by the guesthouse itself, but the other set of dry bathrobe hanging there felt very nice to the touch. This is something that a guesthouse would not provide even if there was no zombie tide. If Duan Yunhong hadn’t specially prepared a whole set, how could we have such good service?

Apparently, someone is being stubborn again. Ning Fei didn't care and winked at him: "Thank you, Director Duan."

After saying that, he shrank back. Duan Yunhong heard the sound of the bathroom door closing, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the breakfast that Ning Fei casually placed on the table.

…

Ning Fei finished taking a shower and came out while drying her hair. She saw Duan Yunhong sitting at the table eating buns.

He didn't joke, "You have such abundant supplies in your space, and you still care about this breakfast." He just said, "Does it suit your taste? I don't know which one suits your taste, so I bought something that doesn't have a strong smell."

"Not bad." Duan Yunhong put down his phone, reached out to Ning Fei, and took out a hair dryer and handed it to him, "Where are the other people who came with you?"

"Let's go find a place to 'camp'." Ning Fei took the hair dryer and replied concisely, "Meet at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he went back into the bathroom to blow dry his hair. He hadn't had his hair cut in a while, so it took some time to blow dry. When the performance was almost finished, Duan Yunhong also came in.

Ning Fei didn't think that this person would come to the toilet at this time. After all, Duan Yunhong still had some "idol baggage" and would not come to squeeze into the toilet unless he could be polite. Unexpectedly, although Duan Yunhong was not really there to relieve himself, he started brushing his teeth in front of Ning Fei. The two stood side by side in front of the mirror on the sink, one blowing his hair and the other brushing his teeth. If you say it's normal, it's normal, but if you say it's strange... it's really a bit strange.

Ning Fei has known Duan Yunhong for such a long time, and they have lived together for a short time, but she has never interacted with him on a daily basis like this. Glancing at the two faces in the mirror, Ning Fei suddenly felt a sense of strangeness, an inexplicable wavering in his heart, and a sense of vanity and hesitation. It was as if the man next to me reflected in the mirror had become unrecognizable, and the shadow facing me had become a face I had never seen before.

At this moment, Ning Fei had the urge to escape.

Just at this time, Duan Yunhong finished brushing his teeth and simply washed his face with clean water. When they looked up, their eyes met in the mirror. The next second, Ning Fei looked away, turned off the hair dryer, unplugged it, twisted the cord a few times and placed it on the sink next to Duan Yunhong.

Then turn around and leave.

Duan Yunhong saw this, and without even bothering to wipe his face, he subconsciously grabbed his wrist, pulled him back and pressed him against the wall: "Why are you running?"

"...Nothing. I'll go out first if you need it. I've blown it dry anyway." Ning Fei couldn't explain what she was thinking just now. At the same time, she didn't want to show her weakness in front of Duan Yunhong, so she pretended to be natural and replied with a stern face, "What are you doing? There's a big bed, why don't you use it here?"

Duan Yunhong's action was instinctive. Seeing Ning Fei was about to leave, he reached out to grab her. Now that Ning Fei asked the reason, Director Duan couldn't find any other good explanation, so he made up a random excuse and said, "Didn't you kiss me in the bathroom too?"

"Oh, so you've decided to do it in the toilet." Ning Fei listened to him talking about the little things in the past, and her attention shifted. She patted the man's wet face with both hands, "Okay, I'll risk my life to accompany a gentleman. After all, the one who spends the money is the boss."

Seeing that he didn't care, Duan Yunhong simply put aside his trance and concentrated on bickering with him: "Can you say it in a nicer way? This is the bathroom, don't you also like being in the bathroom?"

Ning Fei chuckled and hooked her arm around his neck: "Yes, yes, I like it. Did you bring anything?"

"Yes."

"You didn't bring my favorite water bed with you, did you?"

"No. I didn't find this resource in Huichuan."

"Pfft, you actually found it for me?" Ning Fei said happily, "Well, I'll count your efforts. I'll give you a credit."

Duan Yunhong saw that he seemed to be completely happy, with light shining in his smiling eyes, and his own mood also became cheerful. The vibration of Ning Fei's chest when she spoke and laughed was transmitted to Duan Yunhong, and the heat was contagious between the two. Duan Yunhong stared at him and slowly approached him.

Just when their breaths met, just a second before they were about to touch each other's fragrance, Ning Fei suddenly covered Duan Yunhong's mouth with her hand.

"Wait a minute, Director Duan, Boss Duan, Mr. Duan, you don't think that the 'spending money' I mentioned refers to the points for sleeping in the guesthouse, do you?" Ning Fei raised an eyebrow, "Where is my one million luck? Are you still reluctant to give it to me?"

Duan Yunhong also raised his hand, held his, and interlocked their fingers: "Okay, I'll give it to you now, you have to take it."

As the words fell, a "torrent" of luck rushed madly into Ning Fei's body through their tightly clasped hands!

Ning Fei:! ! !

After absorbing such a large amount of luck at one time, Ning Fei felt not the impact on his body, but the feeling of a direct attack on his soul. Ordinary people often say that when luck is good, they feel as if they are flying to heaven. What Ning Fei felt was a hundred, a thousand times more of this description. The refreshing feeling was hard to describe. It was addictive, and would make one forget oneself and indulge in it in an instant. If Ning Fei hadn't had extremely rich experience in the flow of luck and hadn't had a very strong resistance, he would have been lost the moment he accepted it.

But now, he was just happy and excited while remaining rational and sober.

Duan Yunhong watched his eyes become brighter and brighter, and suddenly felt that the one million was worth it, and not just because he was saved once. He squeezed Ning Fei's fingers and asked, "Is it okay now?"

Ning Fei smiled and took the initiative to move closer to his lips: "Okay, thank you for your patronage, boss."
