After dinner, Chen Xiaoru lazily slumped on the sofa in the living room, boredly pressing the TV remote control, while Zhou Yuxuan was clinking away in the kitchen, cleaning up the dishes.
On the TV screen, the anchorman solemnly announced the news: "Today's report: This virus has a very wide impact. Its source is currently unknown. National departments are actively investigating. Citizens, please remain calm and do not panic."
Chen Xiaoru grew increasingly irritated as she listened. She turned off the TV with a snap and dropped the remote control onto the coffee table with a thud. She began to look around, sizing up the original owner's apartment.
The house is about 90 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The decoration style is simple. The living room is almost empty except for the sofa, TV, and coffee table.
Zhou Yuxuan wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen to see Chen Xiaoru looking around with a critical look in her eyes. He walked over to the sofa, bent down, and placed his hands on the backrest. He held her between his arms and the sofa, and jokingly said, "What? You don't recognize your own home after staying here for one night?"
When Chen Xiaoru heard his voice, she turned around, glared at him unhappily, and said, "I was thinking, maybe it's time to buy some new things." She made up an excuse to cover up her recent gaffe.
Zhou Yuxuan sat down next to her, stretched out his long arm, and naturally put it on her shoulder, and asked, "I'm fine with anything. I'll listen to you. But, Xiaoru, what are your plans next?" He felt her body stiffen slightly, but pretended not to notice and continued to hug her.
"Let me go first." Chen Xiaoru leaned back, trying to break free from his arms around her shoulders, with a hint of annoyance in her tone.
Instead of letting go, Zhou Yuxuan took advantage of the situation and hugged her even tighter, pressing his entire body against hers. He said shamelessly, "No, I just want to hold you. I like holding you."
Chen Xiaoru was caught off guard by his sudden affection. She pushed his chest hard and said angrily, "Why are you so shameless now? You weren't like this before!"
Zhou Yuxuan suddenly leaned his head close to her ear, his warm breath spraying on her sensitive earlobe, and his deep voice was filled with a hint of teasing: "What was I like before?"
Chen Xiaoru felt an electric current running through her body from her ears, and her cheeks instantly turned red. She turned her head to the side in panic and stammered, "You...you..." But she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: When did he become so...so showy?
"Xiaoru, what are your plans for the future?" Zhou Yuxuan was moved when he saw her shy look, but he suddenly changed the subject, but still did not let go of his arm around her.
Chen Xiaoru knew that this shameless man would not let her go today, so she simply gave up struggling. She calmed herself down and said, "The current situation is unclear. It's safer to stay home."
"Xiao Ru, I think there are not many zombies here now. We can take this opportunity to collect some supplies, water, gasoline, and medicines for emergencies." Zhou Yuxuan's tone suddenly became serious.
Chen Xiaoru raised her head, looked at him with an inquiring look, and asked, "Do you know something?"
Zhou Yuxuan didn't answer, his deep eyes gazing at her as he leaned forward, the distance between them getting closer and closer, so close that they could feel each other's breaths mingling. He suddenly kissed her lips, tossing and turning.
Chen Xiaoru was caught off guard, her eyes wide open, staring at the enlarged handsome face in front of her, speechless: We were talking! How did they kiss? This guy, if this continues, I can't hold it back!
Zhou Yuxuan felt the stiffness of the person in his arms and slowly released her lips. His deep eyes were like a whirlpool, attracting her. His sexy thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying the power to bewitch people: "Xiao Ru, close your eyes."
Chen Xiaoru jumped up from his arms with a "whoosh", her cheeks flushed, her eyes evasive, she rolled her eyes at him unhappily and said angrily, "You wish!" After that, she turned around and quickly moved to the other end of the sofa, putting some distance between them, and did not forget to cross her arms across her chest, in a defensive posture.
Zhou Yuxuan looked at her series of actions, smiled helplessly, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and had an expression of "Okay, you win", but he didn't say anything else. However, the doting in his eyes could not be hidden.
He sat up straight again, folded his hands on his knees, and regained his serious expression. He said, "Xiao Ru, I do have some guesses, but I can't be sure yet. However, it's always good to prepare for a rainy day. Think about it, if the situation really gets worse and the city loses water and electricity, we can't just sit there and wait for death, right?"
Seeing that he had stopped messing around, Chen Xiaoru relaxed a little. She pondered for a moment and felt that what Zhou Yuxuan said made sense. She nodded and said, "You're right. So what are your plans?"
"My idea is that we first go to the nearby supermarkets and pharmacies and collect as much food, water and medicine as possible. Then, we go to the gas station, fill up the car with gas, and get a few oil drums as backup. Finally, we see if we can find some weapons that can be used for self-defense." Zhou Yuxuan said clearly.
"Weapons? Where to find them?" Chen Xiaoru asked puzzledly.
"I know an outdoor goods store. They should have some self-defense tools there, like mountaineering picks, engineer shovels, etc." Zhou Yuxuan replied.
"Okay then, but you have to change your clothes before you go out again, otherwise it will look awkward if you go out wrapped in a bath towel." Chen Xiaoru crossed her arms, turned her face away, and said unhappily.
