Li Chen seemed to have tasted the sweetness of success, and would often try to play the victim and act pitiful to Xu Nian, but Xu Nian really couldn't do anything about it.
When Yan Ze returned and saw Li Chen acting all cute and coquettish, his expression was as if he had been struck by lightning.
Who understands! Someone who looks exactly like you is acting all pretentious, it makes you really want to slap them.
"Brother, you're back." Xu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief when Li Chen returned to normal.
"You've been having a lot of fun while I was away!" Yan Ze didn't know what expression to use when facing his younger brother.
"Heh! Bro, that's called romance." Li Chen was quite thick-skinned, saying this without batting an eye.
If Li Chen hadn't held her waist, Xu Nian would have covered her face and left.
"Niannian, don't be so shy. You'll have to get used to it sooner or later," Li Chen teased.
"It's noon now." Xu Nian realized she had misspoke as soon as she finished speaking, so she immediately covered her mouth and blinked innocently.
"Hahaha! Okay, we'll say these things sooner or later." Li Chen laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up, and Xu Nian kicked him to stop.
Yan Ze shook his head, went back to his room, took a shower, and then went into the kitchen to cook.
After finishing her meal, Xu Nian didn't see Li Chen again; Yan Ze had been with her all afternoon.
"Niannian, can I hug you?" Yan Ze asked nervously.
Seeing his anxious eyes, Xu Nian remembered that he had indeed been desperately killing zombies during this time, so she finally went over and hugged his waist.
"Niannian, I miss you so much," Yan Ze said, carefully hugging Xu Nian.
"Carry me upstairs." Xu Nian looked up, and the seductive look in her eyes startled Yan Ze. He stared at Xu Nian blankly as if he hadn't heard her.
It wasn't until Xu Nian repeated it that he was sure he wasn't hallucinating, and his hands trembled with excitement.
He was in a dazed state when he carried the person upstairs.
Li Chen, who was dealing with matters at the base, paused for a moment, then continued to bury himself in his work.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing he would be homeless tonight.
At this moment, Xu Nian truly admired the female protagonists in novels who had harems.
I don't know how she's so capable; she can easily control several men in her harem.
She felt she couldn't go on anymore and needed to rest.
Xu Nian went to the research institute again, and she seemed to have completely made it her second home.
Li Chen tried to recruit people but was turned away, so he figured there was plenty of time in the future and gave up.
Xu Nian can hide for a while, but she can't hide forever; she will eventually come out.
"Dr. Xu, could you take a look at this medicine for me?" The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. Xu Nian remembered that his name was Chen Yu.
"Let me see the information." After Xu Nian finished speaking, Chen Yu handed her the information that he had prepared beforehand.
"The idea is very good. This kind of drug that can unleash superpowers needs to be modified here and here to reduce the side effects." Xu Nian pointed to several places, and Chen Yu quickly took notes.
With Chen Yu taking the lead, many people brought their research works to ask Xu Nian for advice. Xu Nian carefully looked at each one and gave her opinions.
"Dr. Xu, Chief Li is here again." A pretty girl said to Xu Nian, her gossipy eyes practically screaming "I'm here to watch the show."
"I understand." Xu Nian didn't want to leave Li Chen standing outside in front of these people, so she had no choice but to go out and see him.
"Niannian, I brought you a little pig. Are you happy?" Li Chen waved the little pig in his hand.
"Why are you here?" Xu Nian took Yuanbao from him, a little surprised that Li Chen, the base commander, wasn't busy at all.
He comes to see her every few days, and he seems like a hands-off manager.
"With my brother around, I had to take a break!" Li Chen said, showing no remorse whatsoever for shifting the blame to Yan Ze.
He's just feeling resentful because his brother seems to be doing really well lately, and he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
Xu Nian chuckled and took Li Chen's hand, saying, "Let's go home!"
"Niannian isn't avoiding us anymore?" Li Chen smiled slyly.
“Where can I hide in this base?” Xu Nian sighed.
"Niannian, once the base is settled, shall we get married?" Li Chen said this nervously, and Xu Nian could feel the dampness in his palms.
"Have you decided who will marry me?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.
"Can't it be the two of us marrying you?" Li Chen said angrily.
If Xu Nian were to take a sip of water at this moment, she would definitely spit it out.
"There doesn't seem to be any precedent for this!" Xu Nian really couldn't bear to imagine the scene of her wearing a suit while Yan Ze and Li Chen walked towards her in wedding dresses.
“Niannian, this is the end of the world. Rules can be changed. Who knows what the future world will be like? Who says that women have to marry men? Can’t we marry you if we want to?” Li Chen was still looking forward to marrying Xu Nian.
"Whatever makes you happy." Xu Nian didn't know how to react to this situation for a moment.
"Niannian, you're just brushing me off. You don't want to marry us... You don't want us, you?" Li Chen had barely finished speaking when he received a light, fleeting kiss.
"Li Chen, don't overthink it. I'm just so surprised and don't know how to express it." Xu Nian smiled as brightly as she could to prove that she was telling the truth.
"Niannian, I knew you liked us too." Li Chen blushed like a shy bride.
"Of course." Xu Nian felt that it would be better for her to be a robot. She would agree to whatever Li Chen said, otherwise she wouldn't be able to handle his antics.
Li Chen talked to Xu Nian for a long time, and all he got were nods from Xu Nian. His face was beaming with joy.
“Niannian, a lot more people have come to the base, and several junior members have also come to join us. As you said, the zombie serum, ability awakening potion, and ability enhancement potion have all been put into use at the base.” Li Chen knew that Xu Nian was still paying attention to these things, and in order to prove that he was doing a good job, he would tell Xu Nian about the situation at the base every now and then.
"You need to be careful not to let the people in those small bases band together, otherwise, disagreements could cause the bases to fall apart." Xu Nian didn't want his own people to start fighting amongst themselves before the zombies were even finished.
Humans are a really strange species. When there is an external enemy, they can unite against it, but when there is no enemy, they like to fight amongst themselves.
"Don't worry, Niannian, I'll be careful. The things you're worried about won't happen," Li Chen assured Xu Nian.
"Okay, I believe you." Xu Nian smiled brightly, her words warming Li Chen's heart.
"Niannian, have you decided when to have the wedding and marry us?" Li Chen jumped to the next topic so quickly that Xu Nian almost couldn't catch up.
"When would you like to meet?" Xu Nian smiled. Did she really have a choice?
He definitely wouldn't be happy if she told him.
