Pei Ji's body suddenly stiffened. He couldn't bear to tell her that he actually washed every day.
In fact, even though she hadn't taken a bath for so many days, her body was still fragrant and clean. But even if she was covered in dust, he would not be disgusted at all.
But she suddenly asked this question at this time, which really spoiled the mood. Pei Ji was really amused and scratched her nose, "Wait, I'll go get some water."
"Fetching water? Isn't the well water here polluted?" Xue Huan couldn't help but envy.
Pei Ji shook his head, "Come with me."
He led her to the mutant willow tree, placed the barrel under the tree, and tapped the trunk with his fingers, "Water."
Under Xue Huan's astonished gaze, a branch of the mutant willow tree moved above the wooden barrel, and the tail end began to release water like a faucet. The water droplets connected into a thin water column. Although the speed was a bit slow, the water released was clear and clean and could be drunk directly!
It is actually possible to do this?
Xue Huan was completely stunned.
Seeing the gurgling water, Pei Ji was also a little surprised, because in the past when he threatened the willow tree to release water, it only released drop by drop, and it took most of the day to collect a bucket of water, but now, the bucket was full in just a quarter of an hour.
When did this willow tree change its nature?
Half an hour later, looking at the tub half-full of steaming water, Xue Huan was almost moved to tears. It hadn't been easy. After a month in this shabby place, she could finally take a bath.
"Okay, get out now." Xue Huan pushed Pei Ji out, eager to take off her clothes and step into the bathtub.
Pei Ji stood still, "Hanhuan, let me help you wash, okay?"
Xue Huan refused at first, but under his passionate offensive, she agreed without thinking. It was not until he held her and immersed her in the bathtub that she came to her senses.
I was careless! I finally succumbed to his male beauty.
This bath took more than half an hour. After the water cooled down, Pei Ji used his internal energy to heat it up through the bathtub, so it could be recycled indefinitely.
If he hadn't been concerned about the baby in Xue Huan's belly, he could have helped her bathe for a longer time.
"Pei Ji, I can't take it anymore, please forgive me." Xue Huan collapsed in his arms and said weakly.
Pei Ji let out a low laugh and kissed her ear, "Okay, no more, I'll carry you out."
That night, Xue Huan had her first good sleep in a month.
The next day, when she woke up, she heard voices outside.
"Brother Huo, I didn't expect you to be able to cook. It smells so good! I wonder if I'd have the honor of trying your cooking?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't do your part."
"Oh, that's fine. We'll wait until next time. By the way, Mouse found a cellar. There might be a lot of food hidden in it. Shall we set off after breakfast?"
"Okay, I understand."
Ming Wan left. Pei Ji entered the room carrying breakfast. He saw Xue Huan sitting at the head of the bed, looking at him with a half-smile. He paused slightly, walked over, put the tray on the table, squatted down beside the bed, and held her hand. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xue Huan snorted softly and called out in a pretentious manner, "Brother Huo~" deliberately dragging out the last syllable. "You're calling her so affectionately. Why didn't you call her 'Sister Wan' in return?"
The tone was full of jealousy.
Pei Ji wanted to laugh, but he held it back. He lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand. "Hanhuan, next time I see her, I'll remind her not to call me that, okay?"
Xue Huan: “…”
If he really said that, Ming Wan would definitely think it was because of her. How would the people in the team view her?
But she had to admit that she felt uncomfortable when she heard Ming Wan call him "Brother Huo" in that sweet voice.
"Okay, tell her to just call you by your name. No need to mess around with Brother Huo. Isn't the point of a name being called that?"
Xue Huan decided to establish her image as a domineering little wife, not caring what others would think. After all, Pei Ji belonged to her alone, and no one else was allowed to covet him.
Pei Ji agreed with a smile on his face.
"Okay, let's eat."
He made bacon porridge, and the bacon he used was the one Xue Huan had picked up before. Although it looked a little shabby, it was still very fragrant after being cleaned.
The side dish is a plate of fried peanuts.
Compared with their previous meals, this porridge and one dish can be said to be very shabby, but in this place where food is extremely scarce, it is a rare treat to have meat porridge and hot dishes to eat.
Xue Huan looked at the fragrant porridge in front of her, her eyes moistened by the heat.
Pei Ji handed her the spoon, touched her head, felt that she was really wronged, and secretly made up his mind to find a lot of food today.
Xue Huan ate the bacon porridge with great care, and finally scraped the bottom of the bowl clean. It was the first time she had eaten porridge so thoroughly.
Pei Ji felt sad when he saw this, "There's still some in the pot, I'll go get some."
After breakfast, Pei Ji was about to go out with the team to search for supplies. He was worried about leaving Xue Huan alone in the house. What if another zombie came running in? But it was also unsafe outside, and searching for supplies was no easy task. He didn't want to take her with him through this hardship.
After all, she is pregnant now. If something happens——
He simply didn't dare to think further.
Ming Wan: "Brother Huo——"
Pei Ji: "Just call me by my name."
Ming Wan: "..." She glanced at Xue Huan, who smiled back.
"Huo... Kang, isn't Xue Huan pregnant? I think we should leave her at home. We're out searching for supplies, so we'll be running around a lot, and we might encounter all sorts of strange beasts and plants. It would be bad if Xue Huan got bumped into anything. Xue Huan, what do you think?"
The last sentence was directed at Xue Huan.
Xue Huan nodded. "I think Ming Wan is right. I won't go out with you to trouble you. I wish you a successful operation and hope you can recover plenty of food."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ming Wan's eyes. She thought that after she said this, Xue Huan would be angry and insist on following her. Then she would make some plans to make sure that she would become a drag. By then, even if Pei Ji loved her deeply, he would probably feel impatient, right?
But she didn't take the bait.
Xue Huan walked over and hugged Pei Ji, "Go ahead, don't worry about me, I'll be waiting for you at home to bring back some delicious food."
Pei Ji touched her face with the back of his hand, then squeezed her hand tightly before leaving reluctantly.
Ming Wan looked back at Xue Huan and deliberately walked to Pei Ji's side.
Pei Ji called Xiaoshan over and separated Mingwan from him. "Tell me the location of that cellar."
Xiaoshan: "Oh, okay, the cellar..."
A group of people left, and Xue Huan was the only one left in the huge house.
She brought a bucket to the mutant willow tree and knocked on the trunk like Pei Ji did. "Let the water flow."
