They've been traveling for the past few days without a proper rest, and today they walked all day again. Since they don't plan to leave so quickly, they're not in a hurry.
The five of them huddled together in the space and had a good night's sleep.
When people wake up, some feel refreshed, while others have backaches and sore muscles.
Unfortunately, only Huang Yiyi felt refreshed; the other four were all suffering from backaches and pains. Huang Yiyi stretched and teased them, "See? You guys never exercise! See? I'm perfectly fine. You all better get moving!"
Even with her muscles sore to this extent, Cheng Zhi had absolutely no desire to exercise. "Impossible, absolutely not in this lifetime. I hate exercise the most. Life is about stillness!"
Huang Yiyi sat down and patted Cheng Zhi's head. "You'll have plenty of time to lie down after you die. It's better to move around now, otherwise you'll die faster."
"..." Cheng Zhi's face darkened, and she disgustedly pushed Huang Yiyi's hand away. "Stop talking about these grand principles. As the only one full of energy, you should hurry up and make breakfast!"
Now it was Chen Siyu and the others' turn to laugh at Huang Yiyi, "Friend, you're the chosen one to cook!"
The weak Zheng Wan propped herself up halfway, saying, "After cooking, I'll water the ground too."
"And then, while you're at it, feed the chickens and the rabbits too."
Huang Yiyi: "..." I reasonably suspect that you are deliberately trying to make me do the work, but I have no evidence.
Seeing Huang Yiyi frozen in shock, Cheng Zhi struggled to raise her arm and patted her reassuringly, "The capable should do more. Since you like to move around, then move around more. We will definitely support you."
So, as the only able-bodied person in the entire dormitory, Huang Yiyi took on all the chores by herself. Everyone was very accommodating; even though Huang Yiyi only cooked plain porridge, steamed buns, and eggs, everyone praised her cooking.
"My friends are flattering me a bit too much," Huang Yiyi said while serving the congee.
The remaining four people struggled to move towards the dining table. Cheng Zhi was the first to touch a chair. "How is this considered excessive praise? We're just being generous with our compliments to our roommate."
Huang Yiyi shook her head, no longer wanting to hear this group of people spouting nonsense. Seeing that everyone was either clutching their shoulders or backs, she was still a little worried. "In this state, are you really going to be able to go out and ask for directions later? It feels like any seven-year-old could knock you over."
Xiao Feiran took an egg and started peeling it, smiling as she said, "Don't underestimate us. We recover very quickly. After this breakfast, we'll be able to walk like the wind."
"..." Huang Yiyi leaned back strategically, glancing at each of their faces. "You... please don't tell me you're faking it, or I'll really kill you."
Zheng Wan, who was sitting to the side eating a steamed bun, felt a little guilty. She covered her waist with a wronged expression and leaned against Huang Yiyi. "Sister, you have to believe us. We are really in pain, but we will go out and ask for directions no matter how much it hurts so that you can get home safely!"
Huang Yiyi: "..." Sister Wan, you acted very well. Don't do it again next time. I almost believed you.
Soon, they packed their things, changed their clothes, and left the space. This time, they didn't wear their ankle-length down jackets, but instead wore thick cotton-padded coats and trousers, with a school uniform or military overcoat on top.
In short, it's about extreme mixing and matching, creating a feeling of wearing whatever you have on hand.
This time, there was no ghost-like makeup; just a layer of contouring, making her look malnourished.
"It's really not easy to make a living in the martial arts world. If you dress well, it won't work; if you dress poorly, it won't work either. I'm worried that people will think we're too poor and won't sell us guns." Chen Siyu said as she applied makeup to her face.
Cheng Zhi put on her old snow boots, which were already torn to shreds by Liu Liu. "It shouldn't be. Actually, we're not dressed that poorly, just a little haphazardly. It's better than dressing neatly and going shopping, where they'll ask us for a lot of money."
These days, food is more precious than anything else; giving away even a single extra grain of rice is a loss.
Zheng Wan packed away the sweet potatoes and corn from the six backpacks and neatly stacked them against the wall.
They certainly wouldn't carry these backpacks with them when they go out, otherwise they'd be robbed in no time. The first time they go out, they should send someone out to scout ahead, and only after they've discussed things thoroughly should they go into the space to retrieve their belongings. That way, it's safer.
As soon as they left the space, they bumped into someone.
Whether it was because Xiao Feiran was too strong or the boy was too fragile, he was knocked flying.
"Ah!" The boy in the fluorescent green down jacket screamed as he lay on the ground. "Who is it?! Can't you watch where you're going? How could someone as big as me bump into you like that!"
It was indeed them who bumped into the person first. Xiao Feiran didn't dare to say anything and quickly went over to help the person up, saying, "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you. I didn't see you."
The boy used the strength to get up from the floor. He turned around, wanting to say a few more words, but then he saw a familiar face.
"Xiao Feiran!"
"Chen Lingfeng!"
It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple; two weeks later, they ran into the boy who lived across the hall, apartment 835.
Seeing his old acquaintance Shen Lingfeng, he momentarily forgot his pain and quickly stood up, his face full of surprise. "Holy crap, what are you guys doing here?!"
Xiao Feiran patted Shen Lingfeng's arm twice happily, "We're going home. But what about you guys? Why aren't you staying in Xiashan?"
Shen Lingfeng sighed. Since the girls left, the huge resort was now only occupied by the four boys and a dog named French Fries. They felt bored and somewhat inferior. The girls dared to embark on their unknown journeys home, while the four boys were hesitant and timid.
So they decided to go home in one go. The situation in their dormitory was complicated in some ways, but simple in others.
Chen Yi is an orphan. Qi Yanche's parents are abroad, leaving only him and Lu Yuan. They are both from Yangzhou, so their purpose for this trip is to find that there is nowhere else in Yangzhou.
"So what's going on here? It's been so long, why are you still in Liancheng?" Cheng Zhi couldn't help but ask.
Shen Lingfeng pointed to the street outside, his face full of bitterness, "Did you just arrive? You have no idea how cunning these locals are! We were almost completely robbed! It's not that we don't want to leave, it's just that we can't get out."
So that's what it was about.
The girls exchanged smiles, and Xiao Feiran laboriously put her arm around Shen Lingfeng's shoulder. "Young man, don't worry, I've seen it, you have a benefactor in your life."
