"Little Zhou Zhou is quite cute." Liu Xu teased Boss Zhou happily, calling out "Little Zhou Zhou" to both sides.
Finally, in order to eat faster, the two girls also joined in the kitchen work. Sun Xiaoxiao's knife skills were very good and fast, which was very relaxing to watch.
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you start a live stream of yourself chopping vegetables? It's really stress-relieving," Lin Hu, who was sitting next to Sun Xiaoxiao, commented.
"Liu Xu said something similar, but I'm still considering it." Sun Xiaoxiao was actually a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Lin Hu could also tell that Sun Xiaoxiao was very introverted. Since they met, it had been mostly Liu Xu who was doing the talking, like a translator.
"Hmm." Lin Hu didn't say much, and continued to watch over the fried eggplant, preparing to make a minced meat eggplant dish.
I brought up the light screen, intending to see if there was anything new:
[Jiao Yongcai: The medicine really works, everyone hurry up and get yours.]
【?? How do I change it? That old man was really strange; he waved his hand and kicked me off the island, almost making me fall into the sea.】
[Xu Tiao: I still haven't found Bamboo Fairy Island. Those lousy octopuses keep dismantling my raft. Now, every time I open the door of my wooden house, all I see is the sea.]
【？？？：Upstairs you still have a wooden house, I only have the initial four planks left.】
[Zhu Nan: The person upstairs is really miserable; they've gone back to square one overnight.]
【I have a summoning card, offering a large reward to any player who logs onto the island to summon it!】
[Qian Xiaomo: Hey bro upstairs, add me as a friend.]
[Yang Feng: Brothers and sisters in District 50, I have some gossip to share. I heard the Qin family is searching everywhere for apothecary-type ability users. Apparently, the eldest son of the Qin family has been poisoned.]
When Lin Hu saw this message, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; this was too fast.
He originally thought that with such a famous family as the Qin family, the people under them should have basic confidentiality awareness, but less than four hours have passed.
It seems the Qin family is the kind of team that makes empty promises; they'll take anyone, and if they can't take anyone else, they'll just make empty promises and still manage to get a share.
【? ? ?: @Brother Yang Feng, I used to be in server 50. Where did you get this information from? Is it reliable?】
Yang Feng: Absolutely. One of my brothers works for the Qin family, and he told me all this. It's absolutely true.
Cheng Futian: @Yang Feng, bro, why don't you hide your ID? Aren't you afraid the Qin family will follow the trail and find your friend?
Yang Feng: No, he's leaving the Qin family today.
...
"Investigate! Find out who leaked the information!" In a group chat with over a hundred people, Qin Fulang angrily sent a voice message and tagged several loyal people who were close to him.
After saying this, he coughed angrily. Once he calmed down, he video-called Qin Yaoyao to ask what had happened.
"Yaoyao, you need to explain what happened today." Unlike Xu Lan, Qin Fulang's affection for Qin Yaoyao was limited to having a doll at home to ease the atmosphere. He was still more looking forward to Qin Yaowei's performance.
He had put in a lot of effort to train him to be a qualified successor of the Qin family, and he would be very unwilling to fail at this moment.
"Dad, it was that guy surnamed Lin who started it. He even clung to Brother Linzhou like a leech. He's so annoying," Qin Yaoyao said angrily. She was especially angry when she thought about Lin Hu snuggling in Duan Linzhou's arms and looking at her with those eyes.
"Surname Lin?" Qin Fulang asked in confusion, and Qin Yaoyao explained to him.
“He’s one of Boss Zhou’s men from District 66,” Qin Yaoyao added, as if afraid her father wouldn’t cause trouble for him. “He killed my brother because he had connections.”
"Boss Zhou! You bastard, Boss Zhou! I, Qin Fulang, can't afford to offend you, but I don't believe I can't get my hands on you!" Qin Fulang's expression darkened, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Yaoyao, you'll go back to the island tomorrow. Find an opportunity to be alone with that guy surnamed Lin and try to pry into his memories. Make a mental note of what that Boss Zhou looks like." Qin Fulang instructed Qin Yaoyao, chuckling as he clasped his hands together, looking utterly confident.
He can't deal with Boss Zhou now, but if he finds out who this mysterious Boss Zhou is and posts his photo around the world, he's sure that everyone will flock to him when they see him in person.
Either kill him or annoy him to death; anyone can be annoying.
"Achoo!" Lin Hu sneezed, then reached up to check his forehead temperature. Finding everything normal, he was puzzled. He wondered to himself, "Who's cursing me?"
"You caught a cold?" Duan Linzhou asked with concern, reaching out to touch the other's forehead.
"Maybe the temperature difference between day and night is too big, and I caught a bit of a chill," Lin Hu replied.
The temperature has been around 30 degrees Celsius during the day and around 20 degrees Celsius at night these past two days.
Lin Hu naturally assumed that he had caught a cold.
Liu Xu and Sun Xiaoxiao, who were standing to the side, had been secretly observing the interaction between the two ever since Duan Linzhou got up and walked towards Linhu.
The two of them had their temperatures taken naturally without feeling uncomfortable or trying to avoid it. Could it be that they've already talked?
Liu Xu and Sun Xiaoxiao looked at each other, their eyes seemingly conveying the feeling that they had been struck by lightning.
Duan Linzhou took a cloak from his backpack and draped it over Lin Hu, which reignited the fujoshi spirit in the two girls' hearts.
Their hard work paid off; a large table of delicious food was laid out in pure white bowls and plates, vibrant in color and enticing with aroma.
Liu Xu ate very casually, unlike Sun Xiaoxiao who was so reserved. Even when it came to getting more rice, it was her best friend who added it for her.
The group chatted and laughed, and the meal passed by quietly.
Lin Hu had difficulty walking and was worried that the two might encounter some danger on their way back, so he asked Duan Linzhou to take them back to his raft.
He stayed on the raft, washed up, and prepared to sleep.
As night deepened, when Duan Linzhou returned, Lin Hu was sitting on the living room sofa with Boss Zhou in her arms, watching TV. She was already very sleepy and could barely keep her eyes open, but she was still trying to stay awake and wait for him.
Looking at the lakeside, Duan Linzhou's heart softened. He walked over and sat down beside the person.
"Put your legs up here," Duan Linzhou said to Lin Hu, gesturing with his eyes to his own legs.
Lin Hu was very sleepy and didn't want to talk much. He turned around, leaned back on the sofa armrest, and put his legs on Duan Linzhou's thighs.
Duan Linzhou took out a box of ointment, rolled up Lin Hu's pajama pants to reveal the wounds that were almost scabbed over, and his heart clenched again.
"I'm going to apply the medicine for you. It might hurt a little," Duan Linzhou said softly, afraid of waking Lin Hu, and also afraid that if Lin Hu wasn't asleep, applying the medicine suddenly would hurt him.
He dabbed some ointment on a cotton swab and gently applied it to Lin Hu's wound, then spread it out. After the ointment had evaporated a bit, he used his supernatural ability to warm Lin Hu's legs.
This will allow the medicine to work better and also make Lin Hu's legs feel more comfortable.
"Mmm..." Lin Hu murmured. Duan Linzhou looked at Lin Hu's red lips and leaned forward.
