Without the internet, the navigation wouldn't work, and it took 806 a long time to finally find the Honey Lake Villa halfway up the mountain.
Looking at the European-style detached villa in front of them, the five female college students exclaimed in admiration.
After putting the car away, Cheng Zhi crept furtively near the security room. Seeing that it was empty, she called everyone out.
Just as Cheng Zhi said, there were hardly any people in the entire villa area. They chose a villa with a garden overgrown with weeds and had Xiao Feiran pry open the door.
The yard was planted with cypress trees and roses, and there was also a swing nearby, which showed that the original owner loved life very much.
The group entered the house, which was decorated not in a luxurious and elaborate European style, but in a simple and approachable wooden style.
Looking at the family photo of the three of them on the entryway cabinet, Huang Yiyi said, "They look like a very happy family."
Cheng Zhi, who was walking at the front, saw the lymphoma diagnosis report on the table. The patient's name was Lin Yici, and she was only 6 years old. She was probably the little girl in the photo.
Zheng Wan walked into the semi-open kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and found that most of the food inside had already rotted due to the power outage.
Xiao Feiran sat on the fabric sofa, looking around with some concern. "The master shouldn't suddenly come back, right?"
Chen Siyu shook her head. The three of them had staked out the place before, and there was no one there. Unfortunately, they were scared away before they even stepped into the villa area.
Huang Yiyi took a few big steps and collapsed onto the carpet, looking extremely comfortable. "Then we can live here in peace!"
Cheng Zhi walked over and kicked her, "Get up and clean up right now!"
The five of them were busy. Xiao Feiran changed the lock on the gate to the yard and scattered shards of broken glass on the wall. Cheng Zhi and Zheng Wan were busy cleaning up the kitchen.
Huang Yiyi and Chen Siyu cleaned up the master bedroom and guest bedroom, which were covered in dust. Exhausted, they slumped onto the bay window.
"I have to say, the rooms in rich people's houses are really big, even bigger than our dorm room. I'm exhausted." Huang Yiyi couldn't even lift her arms.
The two of them sat there, watching the sun set.
After a long while, Cheng Zhi came up and called the two of them down to eat.
With the generator in use, a soft, warm light emanated from the dining room, illuminating Zheng Wan's face and making her appear exceptionally gentle.
At that moment, Chen Siyu's nose tingled and her eyes reddened. "I don't know why, but I felt a warm feeling in my heart."
"What are you standing there for? Come and eat! The sweet and sour pork ribs won't taste good if they get cold," Zheng Wan said as she served the rice.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, scallion oil chicken, blanched vegetables, and borscht—each dish is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, and looks even more tempting under the lights.
After a long day, everyone was hungry, and they ate their food with their heads down.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Cheng Zhi hugged Zheng Wan tightly. "Wan, we really have to open a restaurant. It would be such a waste not to!"
Xiao Feiran nodded and raised her hand in agreement, "I can't cook, but I can invest in opening a restaurant." Huang Yiyi teased her with her elbow, "You still have money?"
"Hehe, I forgot, I'm penniless now."
Everyone laughed when they heard this. After sitting for a while and digesting their food, the five of them wanted to go into the space to see what changes had occurred.
The five people slipped into the space, and at first glance, they didn't see any changes.
Finally, they saw the spiral staircase behind the sofa. The five of them walked up to it, where a home theater and a game room had been added.
"Wow, this is awesome!" Huang Yiyi slumped in the soft leather seat. "I've downloaded tons of movies on my computer. When I connect them to this big screen, it'll be so awesome!"
The small garden outside the balcony has also grown considerably, more than enough to support five cows.
Zheng Wan was very satisfied and gestured to indicate the size, "Next time we can bring back two dairy cows and achieve milk freedom."
After tidying up inside and out, it was already quite late. After washing up, they pulled up the electric fence and prepared to go to sleep.
As soon as the electric fence was set up, before the power was even turned on, the large iron gate in the yard made a loud "bang".
The five men's expressions changed immediately. They grabbed their tools and looked through the peephole, and then a very strange scene unfolded.
The school bus stopped right in front of their door.
Cheng Zhi was confused. She rubbed her eyes and looked outside again. The school bus was still there.
Huang Yiyi was stunned. "Isn't that Baymax from our school? What's it doing here?"
Confirming it wasn't a hallucination, Cheng Zhi grabbed the stun gun, groped her way to the door in the dark, and started walking outside. As she approached the door, she heard several boys cursing and swearing.
"Lu Yuan, are you blind? Why don't you use the road instead of crashing into the door!"
"I'm severely nearsighted, so driving at night is already risky. And you won't even let me turn on my lights. Crashing into the door is inevitable!"
Cheng Zhi turned on her flashlight and shone it outside. She saw three sweaty and disheveled boys. Just as she was about to kill them, a dog barked into her ears.
Then the ugly dog jumped out, stuck its head in the big iron gate, and barked and wagged its tail at Cheng Zhi.
"You not only broke down my door, but you also stole the school's cars and dogs! You're all dead!" Cheng Zhi rushed forward, scaring the three men into retreating.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view, and Cheng Zhi's weapon came to an abrupt halt. Since she didn't know Qi Yanche's name, she could only ask in confusion, "835? What are you doing here?"
Qi Yanche, who had already picked up the iron bar, was stunned when he saw that it was Cheng Zhi, who lived in room 806. When he heard Cheng Zhi call him that, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. "My name is Qi Yanche. These are my roommates. Our car went out of control. We didn't hit you on purpose."
Qi Yanche's inexplicable introduction led Cheng Zhi astray as well. Cheng Zhi put the stun gun behind her and said somewhat awkwardly, "Why did you bring the school bus out in the middle of the night?"
Qi Yanche tossed the iron rod to Chen Yiyi, who was standing to the side, and didn't try to hide anything. "The floodwaters receded, so we wanted to come out of the city to see if there was any rescue or anything. We didn't find anything, so we thought we'd go home and get some sleep, and look again tomorrow."
Cheng Zhi immediately caught the key words in the sentence: This guy actually owns a house in Honey Lake Villa; he must be from a wealthy family.
Before Cheng Zhi could say anything, Shen Lingfeng spoke from the darkness, "Number 15, Brother Yan! We've found your house!"
Chen Yiyi and Lu Yuan went over when they heard the noise. Cheng Zhi didn't say anything more when she saw this. She turned around, locked the door, and was about to go back.
Then Qi Yanche called out to her from behind, "Hey classmate, we used to be across the hall from each other, and now we're neighbors. Can you tell me your name?"
Looking at Qi Yanche's handsome face and expectant eyes, Cheng Zhi felt a little captivated and blurted out her name as if possessed, "My name is Cheng Zhi."
