“I’ll do it.” Several voices sounded at the same time.
Bai Qingqing’s pupils flickered slightly as she looked at Liang Zhiyu, who had put down the knife, Xiao Yang walking over, and the blushing Bai Tiantian.
How did three people respond to her casual remark?
Due to the three voices speaking simultaneously, Fu Chen and Shen Mingxuan in the living room also looked over. It was truly a chaotic scene.
Bai Qingqing experienced the legendary chaotic situation in advance, feeling excited and thrilled. Now, who should she choose? It was really troublesome.
Facing the three people looking at her, Bai Qingqing felt a slight nervousness. It felt like any choice would cause some harm, and as a kind person, she had to show a distressed look.
So, she cleverly looked towards her big brother Fu Chen in the living room, her eyes filled with dependence, like a small animal seeking shelter.
Fu Chen put down the mechanical device he was tinkering with and walked over with his long legs. He held the delicate and fair arm of the girl in his hand, while everyone watched.
“Do you have a hair tie?”
Bai Qingqing replied, “There’s one in the space.”
A box of hair ties appeared on the table out of thin air. Fu Chen opened the package and took out two hair ties, helping her tie up her sleeves. He then took another hair tie and looked at her long, black hair cascading behind her.
Fu Chen had never tied a girl’s hair before, and while doing so, it felt a bit like serving a little princess. His movements were clumsy but earnest.
Xiao Yang said sourly, “Brother Fu really spoils his sister.”
One was the person he admired, and the other was the person he secretly had feelings for. At that moment, he didn’t know whom to feel jealous of.
Fu Chen glanced at him and said, “Well, I have a sister, and you don’t.”
Xiao Yang thought, “…” You have a sister, you’re awesome.
Liang Zhiyu’s expression remained calm as he said, “The kitchen is too narrow. Those unrelated, please leave. Don’t get in the way here.”
The kitchen space wasn’t large, and it was just enough for three people to stand. But Xiao Yang forcefully squeezed in, and then Fu Chen joined, leaving no room to move around.
In reality… Liang Zhiyu, who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually cunning, was the most formidable person in this team. Xiao Yang didn’t dare to provoke him and left the kitchen dejectedly.
Fu Chen’s expression became slightly uncomfortable. After he finished tying up Bai Qingqing’s hair, he left without stopping his footsteps.
Bai Tiantian let out a breath. “Finally, it’s quiet.”
She liked to do her own things quietly. With those few people making a ruckus here, it made her tense all over and unable to wash the vegetables properly.
Bai Qingqing agreed, “Let’s quickly make the braised snacks.”
She was already craving them even before they were done. She loved eating braised chicken wings and duck feet. She planned to eat more when they were ready.
Liang Zhiyu, being a doctor, skillfully used the knife, cutting everything neatly and beautifully. It was very satisfying for those with OCD.
Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but praise, “Dr. Liang, you will definitely be a good family man in the future. Any girl who marries you will be very happy.”
Liang Zhiyu turned his head to look at her. “And what about you?”
“Uh?” Bai Qingqing didn’t react at first and blushed after a moment. She said, “Actually, I have a dream, which is to be a freeloader.”
Bai Tiantian looked puzzled, completely not understanding the twisted exchange between the two. She continued, “My dream is to open a dessert shop and make the food I love.”
The Bai family had the resources to open a dessert shop for her, but unfortunately, after the arrival of the apocalypse, the class division among humans changed, and various resources became scarce. Wanting to open a dessert shop could only be described as a dream.
“It will come true in the future,” Bai Qingqing reassured her.
As long as Bai Tiantian didn’t wholeheartedly support the Zombie Emperor and prioritized human interests, then perhaps this world still had a chance.
While chatting, they continued working. They quickly poured all the marinated ingredients into the pot and started cooking. The scene of the three people cooking in the kitchen resembled friends gathering during a holiday, full of warmth and joy.
Rare moments of peace were cherished. The men sat in the living room assembling firearms and occasionally glanced towards the kitchen.
After finishing with the marinated dishes, they waited for them to cook. Next, they would prepare dinner. These days in the dock city, everyone had been eating simple and tasteless food like dry bread and ham. They all longed for a good meal.
Bai Qingqing didn’t know how to cook. She was originally going to the living room but remembered how Shen Mingxuan criticized her for not being able to cook. So, she returned to the kitchen and declared that she would cook a dish tonight.
The team was fortunate that she didn’t say she would cook all the dishes. She only wanted to make one dish for everyone to taste. Otherwise, it was highly likely that they would be killed not by zombies but by her disastrous cooking.
Eggplant and pork casserole, spicy chicken wings, sweet and sour pork ribs, pan-fried beef steak… When the food was brought to the table, Xiao Yang’s eyes sparkled, and he couldn’t wait to pick up his bowl.
“We have such a sumptuous dinner tonight. Who made these dishes?” he asked.
Bai Tiantian came over with an electric rice cooker and said, “Some of them were made by Dr. Liang, and the curry chicken was made by Qingqing.”
“Curry chicken made by Qingqing.” Xiao Yang immediately used his chopsticks to pick up a piece and took a bite. He stiffened and didn’t move, appearing as if he had turned into stone.
Everyone asked curiously, “How does it taste?”
Bai Qingqing stared at him with clear, bright eyes, waiting for his answer.
Xiao Yang, with an embarrassed expression, glanced at the expectant Bai Qingqing and reluctantly praised, “Not bad, it’s delicious.”
Fu Chen’s grip on the chopsticks tightened slightly as he realized that something was amiss.
“Is it really that tasty?” Shen Mingxuan took a piece and tasted it, only to spit it out immediately. He sarcastically remarked, “What kind of ghost food is this? The vegetables are not cooked properly. Even pigs would refuse to eat this.”
Bai Qingqing smiled and said, “Feeding it to you, my little piggy.”
Shen Mingxuan’s handsome face turned dark, a cold gleam flashing in his peach blossom eyes. He said coldly, “You, woman, did you do this on purpose?”
Bai Qingqing showed an innocent expression and said in a voice tinged with a hint of vulnerability, “I’ve told you before, I can’t cook.”
With a touch of grievance mixed with fragility in her voice, she said, “I mustered up the courage to cook for everyone, and I almost cut my hand…”
“If you don’t like it, then don’t eat it.” She stood up, brought the plate of food to her own place, and said, “I’ll eat everything myself, without wasting a single bit.”
Bai Tiantian couldn’t help but retort Shen Mingxuan, “Sister has already tried her best, why do you have to speak so harshly?”
Shen Mingxuan felt defeated and was infuriated by Bai Qingqing’s acting, feeling as if he was about to vomit blood from anger.
Bai Qingqing lowered her long, butterfly-like eyelashes, hiding a faint smile that flickered in her eyes, and she lowered her head to pick up the undercooked dish and put it in her mouth.
It was too salty, salty to the point of tears. She ended up harming herself.
Seeing her tearful appearance, everyone thought she was crying because she felt wronged and quickly advised her, “If it’s not tasty, then don’t eat it.”
Fu Chen, who saw through everything, took the plate of beautifully presented yet highly poisonous curry chicken from in front of her and said in a deep voice, “Didn’t I tell you not to cook?”
Bai Qingqing thought to herself that if she didn’t make a plate of disastrous cooking, how could they possibly believe that she really couldn’t cook?
“I won’t do it again in the future.” No more next time, she nearly poisoned herself.
After finishing dinner, Bai Qingqing went upstairs to take a shower and freshened up. When she came out, her hair was still wet, but she went down to the living room to play without drying it.
It was still early for bedtime, and it would be boring without playing some games.
When she was collecting supplies, she also gathered various games, such as Chinese checkers, Werewolf, card games, and all sorts of miscellaneous games.
There were only Fu Chen and Liang Zhiyu in the living room. It seemed that the others had gone to take a shower as well.
Fu Chen frowned lightly as he saw her wet hair sticking to her back. He said, “Qingqing, your hair isn’t dry yet.”
Bai Qingqing touched her damp hair and said, “Brother, my hair is thick, so it’s not easy to dry. Let it air dry naturally.”
“Not blow-drying it will give you a headache,” Liang Zhiyu said.
Fu Chen said, “Bring me a towel, I’ll help you dry it.”
Bai Qingqing obediently brought out a dry towel from her space and handed it to him. The man pressed her down on the couch and stood behind her, using the large towel to cover her head and vigorously dry her hair.
“Brother, be gentle,” Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but remind him.
Goodness, did he think he was drying a ball? Even if her hair was thick, it couldn’t withstand his tugging. What would she do if she ended up bald like a little baby?
Fu Chen paused for a moment, and his movements immediately became gentler.
When Xiao Yang came down and saw Fu Chen drying Bai Qingqing’s hair, his eyes almost popped out. Was that still his ferocious and reclusive big demon king, Fu-ge?
Indeed, little sister is truly a creature that can make her big brother surrender.
After drying her hair, Bai Qingqing suggested playing a game, specifically Werewolf. Fu Chen and Liang Zhiyu had never played this game before, so they were initially suppressed. However, once they understood the rules, they quickly became the champions.
One fox and one big demon king, every time she played with them, she made them lose so many times that Bai Qingqing didn’t feel like playing anymore.
The next day.
The team reorganized their things and set off.
Bai Qingqing took the medical supplies and went to see Cheng Rui. Liang Zhiyu said that he would wake up in the next few days, so she had to seize the opportunity to complete her mission.
For the convenience of changing the medicine, Cheng Rui wasn’t wearing any clothes, only wrapped in white bandages. The contours of his cold and handsome face seemed more decadent than before, and he had grown some stubble, giving him a mature manly charm.
When she lifted the blanket and saw the sexy and well-built chest of the man, her heartbeat accelerated slightly. This man’s physique was like that of a male model, likely having the golden ratio, and every muscle was perfectly proportioned. It was truly a blessing for female compatriots.
She exerted effort to turn the man over and carefully cut open the gauze with scissors. Seeing the shocking wound, she inexplicably felt a bit of pain.
Cheng Rui was a real man!!!
If she had this kind of wound on herself, it would probably hurt so much that she would want to die.
Bai Qingqing carefully cleaned his wound and then applied medicine to it with a cotton swab. Fully focused on her task, she didn’t notice that the man’s fingers beside his body moved slightly, showing signs of waking up. After applying the medicine, she extended her slender finger and gently slid along the edge of the scar, sighing, “I wonder if it will leave a scar. It won’t look good if it does.”
