"By the way, Peng, are you going to stay in Jiang City? Or what?" Shen Zhiyi had already brought out all the dishes and placed them on the table.
Let's have hot pot tonight and have some fun.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Shen Zhiyi quickly went to open it: "It must be Ah Jin and the others coming back."
When they opened the door, sure enough, it was Black Wolf and Dried Fish outside.
As soon as the dried fish entered, it smelled a wonderful aroma and immediately darted inside.
"Aww, aww, aww!" It smells so good! What's the zookeeper having for dinner tonight? It smells amazing!
Shen Zhiyi patted the little dried fish's head helplessly, "We're having hot pot tonight."
"Awooo!" When is it time to eat? The beast is hungry!
"We're just waiting for you to come home and have dinner."
Little White had already pounced on the black wolf, wagging its tail happily and rubbing against the wolf, looking just like a little dog.
"Aww!" Boss! I miss you so much! Waaah, how can I live without you?
Black Wolf pushed away Little White, who was leaning closer, with a troubled expression. Sometimes, it really felt helpless and didn't really want to admit that this silly, dog-like wolf was one of its kind.
But Little White didn't mind Black Wolf pushing it away at all, and shamelessly went back to it.
Black Wolf was speechless.
After greeting Chen Peng, she headed towards Shen Zhiyi.
Xiaobai followed closely behind.
"Oh," the policeman said. "We've worked hard these past few days, so we'll take a day off tomorrow."
"Really? Okay, then you can rest at home tomorrow." Shen Zhiyi invited Chen Peng to sit down for dinner.
Fox Moon transformed back into human form and sat down next to Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi set up a small table next to them and put the bowls of Black Wolf and the others on it, and of course, she didn't forget Little Squirrel and the others.
Fearing they wouldn't know how to handle it, Shen Zhiyi set up another small pot on the dining table, specifically to cook for them.
"I'll probably stay in Jiang City after this," Chen Peng answered the question. "I don't know anyone in Chuan City anymore, so there's no point in staying there."
"When I first came back, I did consider staying, but after thinking about it, I decided to move to another city."
Shen Zhiyi nodded. "That's good too. I'll ask the police officer later if there are any houses nearby."
"good."
"Let's eat."
During the meal, Shen Zhiyi and Chen Peng talked a lot. Chen Peng also told her a lot about what happened in the Survival World after she came back.
Chen Peng said that after she left, the Survival World system organized another instance, but the difficulty of the instance was not as high as before, and it was quite simple.
The supplies provided were also quite good.
This is why so many people are coming back.
However, due to the large population of Earth, many people are still stranded in the survival world and it will take a long time for them to return.
Shen Zhiyi listened quietly as Chen Peng recounted what had happened after she left.
After the meal, the group was quite full.
"Burp~" Fox Moon let out a very unrefined burp. "Yi Yi, this hot pot is so delicious, let's have it again tomorrow?"
Shen Zhiyi chuckled, "Okay, let's have it again tomorrow. Peng-ge, you can't run away then."
"Okay, I definitely won't leave tomorrow, I'll just eat your food."
"You haven't found a place to stay yet, have you? Stay here for the next couple of days, I have a spare room." Shen Zhiyi had already slumped onto the sofa.
The dishes on the table hadn't been cleared yet; she planned to rest for a while before cleaning them up.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Peng agreed.
He had just arrived in Jiang City and was not very familiar with the area. In addition, he had come in such a hurry that he hadn't even thought about finding a place to stay.
Now that Shen Zhiyi is taking him in for a few days, why would he refuse?
So Chen Peng stayed at Shen Zhiyi's place for the time being.
There was a small balcony outside the house. After cleaning up the mess on the dining table, Shen Zhiyi washed some fruit and sat down on the small balcony.
"Zhiyi, there's something I forgot to give you."
Chen Peng came out of the living room, holding a small box in his hand.
"What?" Shen Zhiyi quickly swallowed the fruit in her mouth and looked at Chen Peng in confusion.
Chen Peng handed over the small box, pursed his lips, and hesitated whether or not to tell Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi took the small box and looked at Chen Peng with a puzzled expression.
Why do you look like that? Is there something wrong with what's in here?
Chen Peng sighed, but decided to tell her anyway.
“Before I left, Nalan Zhao came to see me. He asked me to bring you the contents of this box.”
“He said if I find you on Earth, I should give you the things. I asked him what was inside, but he didn’t tell me.”
Chen Peng thought for a moment, but still managed to ask, "What happened between you and him?"
Shen Zhiyi didn't open the small box; she was a little unsure how to approach it.
"We were together, but we broke up because we weren't from the same world."
Her tone was very calm, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Chen Peng paused. He had guessed the nature of their relationship, but he hadn't expected it to end so quickly.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Chen Peng scratched his head, unsure of what to say.
He didn't know much about relationships, and he was completely bewildered when he suddenly encountered this situation.
"It's alright, it's all over now." Shen Zhiyi suddenly smiled, not taking these things to heart.
However, there was still an unreadable emotion in her eyes.
At night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Shen Zhiyi still opened the box.
She didn't open it to look at it when she was on the small balcony.
Shen Zhiyi was in the room, and by the dim light of the desk lamp, she saw what was inside the small box.
It is a few dried flowers made from fairy cloud flowers.
She reached out her finger and gently touched the dried flowers in the small box.
Suddenly, a strong urge to see Nalan Zhao again arose in my mind.
But it was all too late. She returned to Earth and could never go back to the survival world, let alone meet Nalan Zhao again.
Shen Zhiyi felt extremely bitter.
This person is really going too far. She clearly... clearly rarely thinks about him anymore.
Yet, the things he sent stirred something within her again.
Shen Zhi thought to herself that this person must have done it on purpose, deliberately having Chen Peng deliver these dried flowers so that she would always remember him.
What a scheming man.
She suddenly remembered what Nalan Zhao had once told her about the meaning of the fairy cloud flower.
Nalan Zhao said that the fairy cloud flower is on their fairy cloud island, and it represents the meaning of missing you.
If someone gives you a fairy cloud flower, it means they miss you.
