"Boss, you guys can take a shower now!"
Gao Qi checked the time and it was already 8:40. They should have about an hour of alone time.
Upon hearing Gao Qi's voice, Fang Xiyue and Jun Nanxuan separated, with Jun Nanxuan leading Fang Xiyue downstairs.
She needed to call Su Zheyu at nine o'clock, so she had to hurry up and shower.
The two went to the separate bathrooms to shower.
Fang Xiyue came out at 9 o'clock, and then went to the fourth floor. Before going upstairs, she also put out single beds for them.
Jun Nanxuan did not go up this time, but stayed down to continue absorbing the energy of the jade with everyone.
After going upstairs, Fang Xiyue dialed Su Zheyu's number.
"Yueyue, are you home yet?"
Su Zheyu was still on his way. He wanted to get back as soon as possible, so he chose to travel day and night.
There are many of them, so they can sleep in shifts.
"No, we didn't have time to go back tonight, so we found an office building to rest in. What about you? Have you found a place to stay yet?"
Every time Fang Xiyue heard Su Zheyu's voice, she felt a little more at ease, knowing that he had gotten through the day safely.
"We're still on the move. It's been almost a month since the apocalypse, and I'm worried that the zombies will evolve, so we're traveling day and night."
They were the only vehicle on the road, and there weren't even any zombies, so the journey was very smooth.
"Then you must make sure to get some rest, and don't push yourself too hard."
Fang Xiyue felt a little sorry for him; traveling day and night can be quite taxing.
"Yes, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. By the way, Yueyue, we ran into a jade shop earlier."
We took all the jade artifacts inside, and now we use them every day to enhance our superpowers. I feel like my superpowers are about to level up.
Su Zheyu had only been absorbing the jade's energy for a few days, but he was absorbing it almost constantly.
Even while fighting zombies, he was never idle, so he absorbed nutrients faster than others.
The energy required to upgrade a superpower from the initial stage to the first stage is not much; absorbing the energy from five jade stones is about enough.
"That's great. Your ability upgrade will give you an extra layer of protection."
When Su Zheyu left, Fang Xiyue had not yet obtained the power-upgrade fluid. Even after obtaining it, she couldn't teleport him directly out of thin air, so he had to rely on himself.
"Yueyue, is Jun Nanxuan next to you?"
Su Zheyu suddenly changed the subject.
"No, I'm all alone on the fourth floor."
Fang Xiyue didn't know why he would ask that question.
"What? He actually left you alone on the fourth floor instead of protecting you?!"
What if we are suddenly attacked by zombies or mutated plants and animals?
"Yueyue, call him up to keep you company. I don't mind if he hears our conversation."
Su Zheyu urged him a few times, his worry almost overflowing.
"Then I'll call him." Fang Xiyue called out from the bottom of the stairs, "Nanxuan, come up here for a moment."
Jun Nanxuan was sitting at the top of the stairs. He was worried that Xiyue might be in danger alone, so he sat down in the closest spot.
"I'm here." Jun Nanxuan responded immediately, taking two steps at a time as he went upstairs.
"What's wrong, Yueyue? Have you finished your call?"
Jun Nanxuan thought Fang Xiyue had finished her phone call and was telling him to go upstairs to sleep.
But to everyone's surprise, Fang Xiyue shook her head and pointed to the screen showing that she was on a call.
Jun Nanxuan was puzzled. Why was he called up when the fight wasn't over?
"Zheyu said it was too dangerous to leave me alone on the fourth floor, and told me to ask you to stay with me."
Fang Xiyue took Jun Nanxuan's hand and returned to the sofa she had previously set up for comfort.
"Oh? He's quite generous."
Jun Nanxuan asked himself, if he were on the phone with Xi Yue and there was a man holding her hand next to her, he couldn't bear the thought.
Of course, if it's for safety reasons, he'll silently endure it.
After that, Jun Nanxuan stopped talking and just silently stayed by Fang Xiyue's side.
Su Zheyu told Fang Xiyue about the people and events he had encountered that day, and Fang Xiyue also told him about the giant fish that ate people.
It wasn't to worry him, but to tell him that mutated animals are now more dangerous than zombies.
"I'll be careful, and so will you. You must be careful. If there's any danger, push Jun Nanxuan up first and let him take the brunt, understand?"
Su Zheyu's voice was very loud, and even though Fang Xiyue was wearing headphones, Jun Nanxuan could still hear it.
"Haha, I know, definitely." Fang Xiyue was amused.
"Alright, it's getting late, Yueyue, give me a kiss, then you should go to sleep."
Su Zheyu finally revealed his main purpose in calling Jun Nanxuan up: how could he not know how powerful Jun Nanxuan's abilities were?
The reason he was asked to come up and protect Yueyue was simply so that he could hear and see Yueyue kissing him right now.
Fang Xiyue glanced at Jun Nanxuan, then gave the carrier a "mua" sound, and Su Zheyu returned the gesture with a big kiss.
"Yueyue, did Jun Nanxuan hear that?"
Su Zheyu then realized that Yueyue might be wearing headphones.
"I don't think so." Fang Xiyue glanced at Jun Nanxuan, who seemed unchanged.
"That won't do, he has to hear it. Yueyue, take off your headphones, and I'll give you another kiss."
Su Zheyu got a little flustered.
Fang Xiyue realized that it was indeed a bit naive, but she still took off her headphones.
"Okay, it's off."
Then, a very loud "mua" came from over there.
Jun Nanxuan understood; this was clearly meant for him. He had previously felt that his arrival had upset him, so he was thinking of being more accommodating to him in the future.
As a result, he actually provoked him, which wouldn't do.
He wasn't angry. He simply pulled Fang Xiyue close, lifted her body to his face, and then kissed her face hard.
As he left, the sound reached Su Zheyu's ears very clearly.
"Poor thing, you can only kiss from afar, unlike me, I can kiss a real person, it's so sweet."
Jun Nanxuan switched to his childish and annoying mode, and Fang Xiyue couldn't help but pat him twice.
"Jun Nanxuan, although I've never met you, I really hate you! You just wait!"
When we get back, I'm going to teach you a lesson and show you who's the boss!
Su Zheyu was stunned for a second, then completely lost his temper.
"Hahaha, big brother? I'm 24, do you think you can be my big brother?"
"I'm telling you this out of kindness, you're the youngest of the eight! You can't escape being the youngest!"
Jun Nanxuan thought this kid was quite amusing.
"What's so smug about this old man? He's so old, how dare he be with Yueyue?"
So what if I'm young? I'm young and fresh!
This use of the word 'old man' really hit Jun Nanxuan's sore spot. "Give me your contact number. I need to have a serious talk with you."
Jun Nanxuan wore a forced smile, claiming he was very experienced in dealing with rebellious brats. Didn't you see how obedient his soldiers were?
"Hey? I won't give it to you, I'll make you angry. Goodbye, Yueyue, love you."
Su Zheyu quickly hung up the call.
