The four of them exclaimed almost in unison, "When did you guys become so close?!"
"..." Cheng Zhi was quite puzzled. Where did they get the idea that they were familiar with each other? "They were just kindly helping me apply some medicine. Don't overreact."
That's all!!!
Cheng Zhi: "..." With these roommates, she'll go deaf sooner or later.
Xiao Feiran took off her shoes, sat on the straw mat, and fanned herself with a small plastic fan. "My sixth sense is very accurate. I feel that something is off between you two!"
Chen Siyu tossed the stun gun aside, patted Cheng Zhi on the shoulder, and pretended to be very serious. "Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. What exactly happened between you two without our knowledge?"
Cheng Zhi shook off the hand on her shoulder, got up and took out a few cans of drinks from the refrigerator. "Friends, we've been together 24/7. If anything had happened, you would definitely know. There really is nothing!"
Huang Yiyi, looking like she'd just stumbled upon some juicy gossip, rubbed her hands together expectantly. "Today they're applying medicine, tomorrow they're developing feelings for each other, the day after tomorrow they're dating, and in a few days they'll be getting married! Cheng Zhi, you're so fast!"
"What are you talking about? You're thinking too fast!" Cheng Zhi was speechless. She put down her drink and lay down on the mat. After all, her roommates all had their own ideas, and if she couldn't explain it to them, she would give up.
At this moment, Zheng Wan stepped forward and began to scold the three of them, "How can you be like this? The other person is injured, and all you are thinking about is eating melon seeds!"
After saying that, he walked over and sat next to Cheng Zhi, asking her with concern about her injuries.
Cheng Zhi was about to cry and hugged Zheng Wan tightly. Sure enough, Sister Wan was the most reliable.
Just as he was feeling touched, Zheng Wan asked, "So what's going on? You've hit it off?"
Cheng Zhi: "..." I was touched for nothing. The old saying is true. You can't sleep in the same dormitory with two different kinds of people.
After the playful banter, the five of them calmed down.
Xiao Feiran looked out the window in the direction the woman had left, "Sure enough, there are many people in this neighborhood who are dissatisfied with us, and there will only be more and more in the future."
They had actually thought about this before coming to Honey Lake Villa, but when they actually encountered it, it brought a different feeling.
Cheng Zhi brushed a stray hair behind her ear and glanced at the huge house. "Anyway, this isn't our real home. We'll leave sooner or later. Let's go after the extreme heat."
Chen Siyu downed his drink in one gulp, smashed the can flat with his bare hand, and threw it into the trash can. "Yes, we can't stay in one place forever. We still have families. We have to go find them."
When family was mentioned, everyone fell silent. Since the apocalypse, almost everyone had tacitly avoided this topic. They were afraid they wouldn't be able to stop missing their loved ones, and they were also afraid that the disasters and dangers would not be enough to save their families.
Xiao Feiran pulled the curtains open a crack, gazing at the full moon hanging in the sky. Her voice was soft, but firm: "They must still be here, waiting to see us, waiting to reunite with us."
The villa fell into a rare silence, as everyone seemed to be silently missing their families.
After some time, Zheng Wan slapped her thigh, stood up, and said to everyone with a smile, "After all that commotion, everyone must be hungry. Let's go get some late-night snacks. I'll make you some grilled cold noodles."
Chen Siyu secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers. "Hey, I'm really hungry. My portion doesn't have cilantro."
"It's soulless without cilantro!"
"I just don't like cilantro. When I'm rich, I'll pull out every single cilantro in the world!"
In another villa, the boys were also torturing Qi Yanche.
Chen Yiyi and Shen Lingfeng stood on either side of Qi Yanche, their hands on his shoulders, while Lu Yuan pulled out a desk lamp from somewhere, the light shining directly on his face.
"Come and explain, tell us the time, the place, and the details, word for word."
Qi Yanche was truly exasperated with his roommates. They were so gossipy, acting like they were interrogating a criminal. "Don't think I don't know. You guys were definitely all peering out the window. You saw everything, so why are you asking me?"
Shen Lingfeng was extremely annoyed and slapped Qi Yanche on the head, "You're supposed to be a hero saving a damsel in distress! You didn't invite us to this kind of good thing, and you're just showing off in front of the girl all by yourself! You're so unfair!"
"How come my good intentions were taken for granted?" Qi Yanche pointed to Cheng Zhi's doorway. "Didn't you see those uncles and aunties just now? Just because I spoke up for outsiders, they almost tore me, a local resident, apart. If they find out you exist, you'll all be packing your bags and getting out tonight."
They knew, of course, that Qi Yanche was thinking of them, so they didn't press him on the matter. Seeing that they had relaxed a little, Qi Yanche tried to slip away, but he was pulled back by Chen Lingfeng as soon as he turned his body slightly to the side.
"That's the end of the matter of going out to show off." Shen Lingfeng placed the small fan on Qi Yanche's neck and smiled lewdly. "Then tell me about your situation with Cheng Zhi."
When Cheng Zhi was mentioned, a glint flashed in Qi Yanche's eyes, but he remained silent.
Seeing Qi Yanche's expression, the three men started to tease him. Shen Lingfeng was extremely curious, practically shaking Qi Yanche's brain to its core, "No way! No way! You really like Cheng Zhi?!"
Lu Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief. "Okay, that's confirmed now. Brother Yan likes girls. We're safe."
