Although it wasn't the first time she had seen a male body, when facing Xu Neng, his extremely masculine lines and the beads of sweat on his skin made Wang Feifei blush uncontrollably.
Xu Neng has a very handsome face. He is already handsome and refined, but when he is with Wang Feifei, he becomes even more frank and genuine.
The once sharp, eagle-like gaze is now completely gone; beneath her long eyelashes, a tender springtime allure and a thin mist linger.
Wang Feifei was initially attracted to his body, but she lost her focus when they met eyes.
Xu Neng's eyelashes trembled slightly. He had finally seen the woman he had been longing for day and night. Her beautiful face overlapped with the one in his memory, making his heart race.
The strands of hair at her temples, curled and hanging down her chest, changed her usual alert demeanor, making her appear serene and gentle, which softened Xu Neng's gaze.
What Xu Neng found even more unbearable was that she now possessed a more girlish shyness than before, with flushed cheeks and affectionate eyes—an expression he had never seen before…
Xu Neng couldn't help but let his Adam's apple bob. This subtle movement pulled Wang Feifei back to reality. Realizing her lapse in composure, she blushed and said:
"You...you...why aren't you dressed? Put some clothes on right now!"
"I was applying medicine just now..."
Wang Feifei's eyes widened, and she asked urgently:
Where are you injured?
Xu Neng slowly moved the camera to his waist, and the phone screen revealed his upper body in full view.
From broad, bulging pectoral muscles to tight, firm abdominal muscles, and then... following the clearly visible V-line...
"This is blatant seduction, Xu Neng has gone too far!"
Wang Feifei couldn't help but want to curse in her heart.
But when she saw the wound on her side, her breath caught in her throat.
"How did you get so badly injured?"
"Yes, it is quite heavy."
Xu Neng spoke with a slightly joking tone, then a smile appeared on his lips—an expression Wang Feifei had never seen before, which made her unable to look away.
Unfortunately, this smile did not reassure Wang Feifei. Looking at the wound, she asked:
Do you have doctors there? Do you have medicine?
"The doctor should have some, but as for medicine... I don't know." Xu Neng deliberately probed her, wanting to know if she had any medicine on hand: "Do you have any medicine?"
This question put Wang Feifei in a difficult position. Although she had stockpiled a lot of medicine, she definitely couldn't give it to him. If she did, the safe house would be exposed.
She stammered:
"I...have medicine...but..."
"Okay, I'm relieved to know you have the medicine. I was just joking." Xu Neng understood her concerns and continued:
"I have everything I need, don't worry."
At this moment, blood seeped out again from the edge of the wound on the side of the waist, sliding down the indentation where the muscles met and flowing into the waistband of the pants...
Wang Feifei stared at that spot, feeling a sharp pain shooting through her own body.
"Xu Neng, do you have any painkillers? This... must hurt a lot..."
Xu Neng chuckled, blinked, his long eyelashes drooping, and comforted Wang Feifei:
"This wound looks scary, but it doesn't actually hurt. Besides, chatting with you for a while will really make it stop hurting."
By this time, the sun had already shone into Wang Feifei's room, and Xu could see that she was in the morning light, her face rosy and her clothes light, showing no signs of hunger or cold.
He was finally relieved...
Xu Neng smiled contentedly, knowing that the place Wang Feifei had found must be very warm and well-supplied with supplies, and that she had even cleverly stockpiled medicine.
Wang Feifei asked in confusion:
Why are you so happy?
"I'm so happy that you're taking such good care of yourself."
Xu Neng stared intently at her, making Wang Feifei's face burn with embarrassment, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
She glanced at the clock; it was already eight in the morning. Xu Neng must have been up all night, so she shouldn't disturb him any longer.
"Xu Neng".
"Um?"
"Go and apply your medicine and get some rest. I won't disturb you."
Seeing that Wang Feifei was about to end the video call, Xu Neng couldn't help but ask a question:
"This time...why didn't you ask Chen Nian?"
Previously, every time Wang Feifei contacted him, it was for Chen Nian, but this time she didn't mention it at all. Xu Neng was a little happy, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask.
He longed to have a greater place in Wang Feifei's heart, and even more so, he wanted to hear her say it herself.
"With you here, I'm not worried about Chen Nian. I trust you."
Was this a subtle affirmation? Xu Neng was very happy and looked at Wang Feifei affectionately, but his wound was bleeding profusely, and his face was somewhat pale.
"Okay, you should get some rest."
After ending the call, Wang Feifei also took a nap. Because she hadn't slept well the night before, she fell asleep quickly.
This time, she even dreamed of her meeting with Xu Neng in the warehouse, and she seemed to understand the look in Xu Neng's eyes...
When she woke up, it was already afternoon. She glanced at her phone and saw a large number of unread messages in the residents' group chat, which had been quiet for two days.
It turns out that Wang Xiuli, a neighbor in the East District, found Zhao Qian unconscious all night and running a high fever in the morning. She was asking for medicine everywhere in the group chat.
Many families in the West End have elderly members and keep a lot of medicine at home. She hopes her neighbors can help her out. Last time, she helped everyone buy a lot of food, and she hopes they can lend a hand this time as well.
Unfortunately, no one spoke in the group, which was normal, since the power had been out for almost a day and the indoor temperature was not much different from the outdoor temperature.
Every household in the community was huddled under their blankets, trying to conserve their energy. Everyone was desperately searching for hope amidst despair, unable to care for themselves or others.
Wang Xiuli was furious and cursed repeatedly:
"If it weren't for me, you would have starved to death long ago. You are a bunch of heartless beasts! Give back all the supplies you have."
