Are you really not afraid your house will be washed away by the water?

Zhou Junchang has officially taken over Mingyue Night. Fearing that Zhou Junchang would be too busy, Zhou Ji also arranged for several of his brothers to go there, including Afeng.

These past few days, Ah Feng has been asking Zhou Junchang to come to his house every day, but Zhou Junchang has not agreed.

In the evenings, Zhou Jun would often cut up fruit for a plate, while A Feng would stand beside him picking at the fruit and eating it.

Finally, when he saw Ah Feng steal another dragon fruit, he said helplessly, "Believe it or not, I'll cut it off your hand."

Ah Feng smiled and didn't seem to care much: "It's okay, it's okay, you can keep cutting."

Zhou Junchang picked up the fruit knife and continued cutting.

Someone shouted towards the bar, "A case of beer, please!"

Ah Feng then got up to fetch the beer, and when he returned, Zhou Junchang had already cut up the fruit platter.

Ah Feng went to the sink to wash his hands and casually asked Zhou Junchang, "Come to my place tonight? We brothers haven't had a drink in ages."

Zhou Jun, who was wiping wine glasses, looked up and asked when he heard Ah Feng's words, "Who else?"

Judging from Zhou Junchang's tone, Ah Feng felt there was a chance. Normally, if Zhou Junchang didn't want to go, he wouldn't ask any more questions.

"Hu Hei, call him out too!"

Zhou Jun often thought of what Hu Hei had said last time. He was now following the boss and hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Um."

Seeing that Zhou Junchang had finally relented, Afeng rolled up his sleeves and said, "Alright, I'll show you what I've got tonight."

Zhou Jun often warned that things were going badly, and Ni glanced at him and said, "You're cooking tonight? Then forget it."

"What's wrong? Don't you believe me? I'm going to show you my skills tonight."

Zhou Junchang remained silent while Ah Feng offered his feeble rebuttal, which made Ah Feng seem somewhat guilty.

Ah Feng had never properly learned to cook, nor had he ever cooked a proper meal, but faced with his brother's doubts, he still wanted to defend himself.

That evening, the three of them went to Ah Feng's house first. It was Hu Hei's first time there, and he "visited" the house with great interest.

Hu Hei lay on the sofa: "Not bad, better than the previous house."

The three grown men were crammed into one room, which made it seem a bit crowded. Zhou Jun often kicked Hu Hei's leg, which was resting on the armrest, and found an empty spot to sit down.

"They always help me choose."

Zhou Junchang hadn't said anything until he heard this, then retorted, "Don't say I chose it, you chose it yourself. Don't blame me if you don't like the place later."

"Okay, okay, I'll go cook now."

Although the other two were reluctant to believe in Ah Feng's cooking skills, they couldn't resist his insistence and went along with it.

Neither of them had high demands; they just wanted something that was passable.

They said Ah Feng was supposed to cook, but the two of them didn't help at all. They sat in the house like big shots, while Ah Feng was the only one in the kitchen, huffing and puffing away.

Ah Feng shouted outside, "At least come and help me out!"

Zhou Jun often teased him: "Didn't you say you were going to show off your cooking skills? How could we possibly steal your thunder?"

Hu Hei laughed: "Next time you're going to cook for yourself, why don't you buy a bigger kitchen? This kitchen of yours is so cramped, it's hard for two people to stand in it."

"Alright, alright, gentlemen, I brought this on myself, okay?"

The three of them burst into laughter.

Zhou Jun and Hu Hei were lying on the sofa playing video games, with the sound of gunfire coming from time to time.

A game of this kind takes ten to twenty minutes, and the two of them hadn't played many games before the meal was ready.

Ah Feng brought the dishes to the table. He wasn't a very good cook, so he only cooked three dishes.

Ah Feng told the two of them to start eating. The two picked up a piece of meat and found that it tasted surprisingly good, at least edible, much better than they had expected.

After eating half of it, Ah Feng suddenly remembered that there were peanuts he had specially bought in the refrigerator. Drinking alcohol must be accompanied by some peanuts to make it taste better.

After a few rounds of drinks, the three of them continued drinking in a somewhat lazy manner.

The two men asked about Hu Hei's situation, inquiring about how things were going with his boss.

Hu Hei said it was alright, he would take his time, and he knew that the two of them were currently under the bright moonlight.

The three men sighed and drank glass after glass of wine, their minds becoming somewhat clouded.

Ah Feng fell into a deep sleep, leaving just the two of them. They didn't say a word, just chewed on peanuts and drank wine.

Zhou Junchang was also a little drunk, and the images that had been lingering in his mind for the past few days unconsciously surfaced.

The sensations in the dream felt unreal, yet Zhou Junchang found them very real.

Xu Li's hand slid across his brow, then gently cupped Zhou Junchang's face...

Zhou Jun often felt his lips brush against the corners of her eyes and brows, and the soft touch made him unable to calm down for a long time.

Xu Li's hand stroked Zhou Junchang's face again and again, down to his ears, and then to his hair...

This was the dream that was interrupted by the phone call last time. If it hadn't been interrupted, Zhou Junchang wouldn't know how long the dream would have lasted or how far it would have gone.

It is said that dreams are a fragmented presentation of the subconscious, containing all kinds of complex imaginations and emotions. Zhou Jun often doesn't know where the reason for his dreams comes from.

Zhou Jun often closed his eyes, trying to stop himself from thinking any further...

Suddenly I felt a moist sensation in my mouth, along with a cool touch.

Something dripped onto my face.

Ah Feng, who was next to me, also woke up and jumped up from the sofa: "Holy crap, there's a flood!"

Zhou Jun wiped his face, looked up at the ceiling, and instantly understood what was going on. He had thought it was...

Hu Hei laughed: "I was just saying your house was nice, how come it's leaking?"

Ah Feng ran to the window, looked out, scratched his head, and said, "That's not right. It's not raining outside, and my apartment isn't on the top floor, so how could it be leaking?"

There's only one reason then: the water is coming from upstairs.

Zhou Jun continued drinking, not caring where the water came from, nor whether his house was of good quality or not. He had simply assumed...

Zhou Junchang remained silent, drinking to calm himself down.

More and more water droplets were falling, and a large area of ​​the ceiling was already wet.

Ah Feng told them to move the sofa away from the dripping water on the ceiling, and shouted upstairs, "The whole house is going to flood!"

After most of the things had been moved, the water showed no signs of stopping; in fact, it kept increasing, turning the entire house into a water curtain cave.

"Could it be that no one is upstairs?"

Zhou Jun walked toward the door with his hands in his pockets.

Ah Feng chased after him, shouting, "Help me! Don't go!"

"If you don't go upstairs and ask, your new house is really going to be washed away by the water."

The three of them knocked on the upstairs door together.

The door remained closed, but the three people outside could definitely hear the sound of water.

"Nobody's home."

As soon as Hu Hei finished speaking, the door opened a crack, revealing a pair of wet eyes looking at them.

Ah Feng felt the face looked familiar and tentatively called out, "Xu Li?"

Xu Li responded somewhat embarrassedly.

Zhou Junchang's eyelids twitched; it was exactly what he had in mind.

Xu Li pushed the door open a little and peeked out.

Ah Feng asked, "What are you doing here?"

Thinking of something, she asked incredulously, "You don't live here, do you?"

Xu Li nodded with an awkward laugh.

The three of them stormed upstairs in a rage, ready to unleash their fury, but when they saw that it was someone they knew, they didn't say anything more.

"What happened to your house? Was it flooded?"

Xu Li was wearing only one coat, and it was a bit chilly when the door was open and a draft blew in. "Pretty much." Then, remembering something, she asked, "What are you all doing here?"

"I live right downstairs from you. Come up and take a look when there's a leak."

"You live downstairs from me? How come I've never seen you before?"

"I just moved here a few days ago."

...

Seeing Xu Li trembling, and the two still wanting to continue their conversation, Zhou Jun impatiently interrupted them: "Gentlemen, if you keep talking about houses, they'll be washed away."

Xu Licai noticed Zhou Junchang in the corner and felt a little guilty when they met his gaze.

She could greet Afeng and Huhei naturally, but when he saw Zhou Junchang in this situation, he became a little awkward and quickly looked away. So Xu Li didn't see that when Zhou Junchang looked at Xu Li, his eyes were also a little evasive.

As Xu Li was about to close the door, she suddenly reached out and pressed a hand against it.

"Aren't you afraid your house will be washed away by the water?"

Xu Li was instantly angry. She noticed that the water pressure was much lower when she took a shower today. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, but then the water pipe suddenly broke. She didn't know where the main water valve was. Xu Li called the property management and the landlord, but they hadn't come over yet. She had never experienced anything like this before. She looked online to see if she could fix it herself. There were methods, but she was too weak to fix it at all.

My clothes and hair were soaked, but water was still spraying out.

Neither of them spoke. Ah Feng sensed something was amiss and tried to smooth things over, saying, "By the way, let us in and take a look. Maybe we can help you in some way."

Hu Hei also said, "Yes, it's better for the three of us to fix it than for you to do it all by yourself."

They couldn't bring themselves to leave a girl to face a storm alone. Even if they didn't know her, they would never stand idly by.

Xu Li let them in. The house was already flooded, with water about two or three centimeters deep.

Xu Li lives alone and doesn't have many slippers at home. The three of them came in without changing their shoes, and after walking around, their shoes were already wet.

Xu Li was a little embarrassed and led them to the leaky bathroom.

The water pipe was still spraying water in all directions. Normally, water pipes don't spray water like this. This was the first time Zhou Jun had ever seen water spraying like this, and the water pressure was also quite high.

He had no idea that if he hadn't run into them tonight and had waited for the property management to arrive, the house would have been flooded.

Ah Feng didn't hold back at all and exclaimed, "Wow! That's amazing, it can even spray water like that..."

He wanted to say something more, but Zhou Junchang cut him off with a single look.

Xu Li felt a little awkward looking at their reactions.

Zhou Jun often took off his clothes and threw them directly to Xu Li, whose lips were frozen purple.

Xu Li felt the warmth of the clothes and unconsciously hugged them tighter, but then remembered that her clothes were still wet, so she pulled them away a little.

After feeling a brief moment of warmth, the cold wind suddenly rushed into her chest, making Xu Li shiver.

Xu Li's hair was still dripping wet, her clothes were almost completely soaked, and her feet, which were wearing slippers, were also soaking in water.

Zhou Jun frowned almost imperceptibly, then scolded, "Go change your clothes."

Xu Li placed Zhou Junchang's clothes on the chair and casually grabbed a towel to drape over herself.
