The family surrounded Zhou Lin for a long time, during which Cheng Zhi and Cheng Ye, the two siblings, poked him with their fingers, but he still didn't get up.
When it was time for dinner, everyone thought they could eat while waiting.
After that lunch, Cheng's father didn't dare let the two of them cook, so he sneaked into the kitchen and quickly cooked a big pot of noodles.
Fearing that Zhou Lin might suddenly wake up, Cheng's father cooked him a bowl of soup.
Everyone was eating in the living room with their bowls in hand, and Cheng Ye even squatted down next to Zhou Lin's head and frantically slurped up noodles.
"What kind of behavior is this?" Cheng Zhi asked sincerely.
Cheng Ye swallowed the noodles in her mouth. "I'm trying to wake him up with smells and sounds. It's mealtime, maybe he'll wake up when he's hungry."
This method is outrageous. Xiao Feiran reluctantly gave him a thumbs up, secretly thinking that if she were Zhou Lin, the first thing she would do upon getting up would be to smash his bowl!
Just as everyone was still complaining about Cheng Ye's stupid method, Zhou Lin coughed twice and actually slowly opened his eyes.
Cheng Zhi immediately put down her bowl, her surprise tinged with disbelief. "Holy crap, really? Your stupid method actually works?!"
When Cheng Zhi met Zhou Lin's gaze, she originally wanted to ask him how he was feeling.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Lin spoke first, slowly saying, "What happened? Why did I faint?"
Xiao Feiran, who was standing next to him, explained the whole story again, and Zhou Lin gradually came to his senses.
He stood up and sighed, "I'm really more trouble than I'm worth. I was worried that something had happened to Cheng Ye since he hadn't come for so many days, but now I've gotten myself into trouble."
Cheng Zhi handed him a glass of water. "From what you're saying, you've been going out these past few days? Running between home and the lab every day?"
Zhou Lin shook his head in denial. The fog outside was so thick that if he went back and forth every day, he would either die or become an idiot. He only went home once every two or three days on average.
A week had long passed, and Cheng Ye still hadn't come. He was worried, so he came to check on him. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the robbers on the way. Seeing that Cheng Ye had nothing on him, he started fighting with Zhou Lin, insisting that he take something back with him.
Zhou Lin was outnumbered and was quickly pinned to the ground, whereupon his down jacket and thick sweater were stripped off.
After hearing this series of events, Cheng Zhi now strongly suspects that Zhou Lin wasn't knocked unconscious, but rather frozen. If she and Xiao Feiran hadn't gone outside for a while, he might have frozen solid in two hours.
Zhou Lin clasped his hands together in gratitude to the two women, saying, "Thank you, senior sisters. If it weren't for you, I might already be playing chess with the King of Hell."
On the other side, Cheng Ye scooped the noodles out of the pot and brought them to Zhou Lin. "Eat quickly, senior brother, they're getting a bit soggy. By the way, senior brother, I can't go help for now."
Cheng Ye glanced at her family on the sofa and Liu Liu, who was playing with the rabbit next to the TV cabinet, and said, "I have parents and an intellectually disabled sister to take care of, and a nephew who is a few months old to take care of. If something happens to me, this family will fall apart."
Cheng Zhi: "...Are you tired of living? You want to see Grandma today?"
As he spoke, he put down his chopsticks and started pulling Cheng Ye's hair.
When Zhou Lin heard Cheng Ye say he wasn't coming, he wasn't surprised at all. In this foggy weather, even taking ten steps outside would be extremely dangerous, so it was perfectly normal for him not to come.
Seeing the two of them playfully bickering, Zhou Lin burst out laughing.
Xiao Feiran pushed the chili sauce in front of him, "Help yourself if you want some, eat it quickly, it's going to get soggy."
Zhou Linye immediately slurped up the noodles, but after just one bite, his brows furrowed.
When Xiao Feiran saw that his expression had changed, she thought there was something wrong with the bowl of noodles, so she immediately asked what was wrong.
Zhou Lin took another slurp, and after thinking for a long time, he finally remembered, "Holy crap, that sound! Senior sister! I remember the dream I just had. I dreamt that zombies besieged the city, and I was captured and eaten by zombies. When they were sucking my brain, it was this sound of slurping noodles! That's strange, how could it be the sound of slurping noodles? I haven't eaten noodles recently."
Xiao Feiran, who knows everything: "..." You might not believe it, but the zombie that's sucking your brain is named Cheng Ye.
Everyone else enjoyed their meal because of the entertaining program provided by Cheng Zhi and her brother.
They were in a worse situation. After they finished fighting, they found that their noodles had turned into flatbreads, cold and hard, and they couldn't eat them. The two almost got into another fight because of this.
Zhou Lin borrowed a coat from Cheng Ye and left in a hurry.
Before leaving, Cheng Zhi gave Zhou Lin two face masks, hoping he would understand their purpose, go out less, and live a good life.
After seeing Zhou Lin off, Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran remembered the two little rabbits. They had been busy moving people and had left the two little ones on the ground without paying attention to them.
After looking around, I finally saw the two little ones trembling in Liu Liu's arms, having made a mess of poop out of fear.
The two little rabbits look like they've been washed with water... no, they've obviously been washed with Liu Liu's saliva!
When Liu Liu saw them arrive, she reluctantly licked them a couple more times before pushing the two wet little ones out to them.
Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran: "..." Is this an expression of affection or washing vegetables?!
Xiao Feiran took a towel and tried to dry them off, looking at the drool on their bodies and comforting the two little rabbits.
Cheng Zhi also praised Liu Liu, "What a good girl, helping Mom wash the vegetables! You didn't eat the bunny, right? You're so great, so composed! Liu Liu is so wonderful..."
Perhaps the gazes from the side were too intense, because when she turned her head and met Cheng Ye's eyes while holding Liu Liu, her voice instantly changed from a pinching tone to a plier tone, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and wipe it!"
Cheng Ye, hurt by the sound of the pliers: "..." Just kidding, my sister is gentler to dogs than to me.
