After seeing off the Wang family father and son, the Bai family returned to the courtyard.
Leng Yebai was still absorbing crystal cores in the room, and the residue from the crystal cores filled the trash can.
Unlike before, the door to the room was now open, and he hadn't locked himself inside.
He didn't want to see others, but he didn't want to miss his own family.
As soon as the Bai family entered the living room, they headed towards the room where Leng Yebai was hiding.
"Xiao Leng, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Bai Zhengxuan smiled kindly at Leng Yebai. "It's my turn to cook today. I'll make it for you."
They both tacitly avoided mentioning why he had locked the door earlier.
"Anything is fine."
A hoarse sound came from Leng Yebai's throat, and a slight smile appeared on his rotting lips.
"Okay, then I'll make you braised pork hock!"
Bai Zhengxuan grinned and made a decision immediately.
He'll make two braised pork knuckles in a little while, one for himself and one for Leng Yebai, perfect.
Leng Yebai lowered his eyes to look at the crystal core in his hand, which had turned into dust, and his eyes curved into a smile.
He wondered if it was just his imagination, but the violent, bloodthirsty emotions raging in his mind were gradually fading away.
A few days ago, just a glance from afar was enough to give him the urge to devour flesh and blood that he could hardly control.
Today, the smell of blood and flesh still lingers in the air, but the bloodthirsty urge has been somewhat diminished.
It was already afternoon, and Bai Zhengxuan headed straight for the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to cook.
Bai Anhai also went over to help.
Liu Jing, Wang Yiyun, and Leng Yebai exchanged a few words, then made an excuse to leave.
"Xiao Fan, aren't you going to help with the cooking?"
Bai Xizhu glanced at Bai Yifan, who was still in the room.
This light bulb is big and round.
"No need! It's not my turn to cook today!"
Bai Yifan blinked, looking completely bewildered.
Grandpa and Dad didn't cook for him either!
Although he was at the bottom of the family hierarchy, he still had a little bit of human rights. He was the one who cooked when it was his turn, and he wouldn't cook when it wasn't.
Unless his dad or grandpa asks him to cook...
He avoids going if he can avoid it; that's his survival strategy as a weakling.
"Go help!" Bai Xizhu said calmly. "I want to make chicken stew with mushrooms, you go make it! Remember to stew it for a long time!"
Bai Yifan pursed his lips, looking unwilling, but still stood up and walked out.
As she left, she gave Leng Yebai a wink.
Look, look, my older sister is so lazy and domineering, how will you ever be able to stand her!
Leng Yebai acted as if nothing had happened, pretending not to see it.
"Xiao Fan, absorb the crystal cores for half an hour after you finish cooking before you eat." Bai Xizhu glanced at Bai Yifan, who was making faces.
Bai Yifan: ...
Bai Yifan's expression froze instantly, and he lowered his head and quickly walked out.
Only Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai remained in the room.
Leng Yebai lowered his eyes, not knowing what to do, and could only absorb the crystal core again and again.
The crystal core was now just scrap in my hand; it was all in vain to absorb the depleted energy within it.
Bai Xizhu's fair fingers gently covered Leng Yebai's rotting fingers.
Leng Yebai trembled slightly, his rotting eyelids lifted, and he only glanced greedily at Bai Xizhu before immediately lowering his head again.
If his own appearance were to enter her eyes for even a second longer, it would taint Xiao Zhu's eyes.
"How about you take a bath? Maybe the spiritual spring water in the space will be good for you!"
Bai Xizhu asked.
The spiritual spring water can improve health, but whether it's beneficial for zombies hasn't been discovered yet. It's always good to give it a try.
"bath?"
Leng Yebai was stunned for a moment, a hint of shyness appearing on his rotting face.
Together?
He nervously rubbed his rotting fingers, his rotting eyelids twitched, as if he wanted to nod, but he still gritted his teeth and shook his head.
What if I get infected!
"I can wash it myself."
Leng Yebai almost bit his rotting tongue while speaking.
"Otherwise what? You're so old, why would I bathe you? You're not Bai Yifan, a sixteen-year-old who still needs someone to scrub his back!" Bai Xizhu rolled her eyes.
"No, nothing." Leng Yebai blinked and quickly shook his head, then suddenly realized something and narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Who's scrubbing Bai Yifan's back?"
"My dad!" Bai Xizhu shrugged. "If you need it, I'll have him give you a massage in a bit! If that's not possible, my grandpa will do too!"
Leng Yebai: ...
"No, no need, I can manage on my own."
Leng Yebai shook his head frantically.
After turning into a zombie, he felt that his brain was not fully developed.
Bai Xizhu looked at Leng Yebai's awkward expression and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Her fair fingers pressed on Leng Yebai's shoulder, sending him directly into the spatial dimension.
The time they spent alone together was short; they said nothing, yet it felt like they had said everything.
Just sitting together, you can feel each other's feelings.
He knew she didn't dislike him.
She knew he was awkward.
next door.
Zhang Yiming lay lazily on the chair, basking in the scorching sun.
The sun was shining so brightly, warming him, but it still couldn't dispel the putrid smell emanating from him.
The moment Leng Yebai disappeared, Zhang Yiming opened his eyes.
His handsome brows were furrowed tightly together.
Leng Yebai is now considered a zombie, and his brainwaves, which are faintly present, also emit a zombie-like energy.
No matter how deliberately you try to suppress your brainwaves, each zombie's brainwaves will never disappear; they will always leak out unintentionally.
