With a creaking, grating sound of the door opening, Zuo Feng entered the room, carrying a chattering Da Bai Tu, and kicked the door shut behind him.
The rabbit curled up in his arms, her delicate little feet occasionally wiggling with a hint of pride.
"Wow! Xiao Nan Ren, have you changed careers to sell canned goods? Oh my~"
The voice in his arms was sweet with a hint of affectionate blame.
"Xiao Nan Ren, you're so naughty! That side bedroom is clearly my room, did you intentionally fill it with canned goods, leaving only one bed in the master bedroom? So then you can righteously say, 'Let's squeeze in'... Oh my, Xiao Nan Ren, you're so naughty, you want to sleep with me! Hehe... I love it!"
Da Bai Tu often came to Zuo Feng's house to help clean, and a while ago she even clamored about moving in together once her lease expired.
Zuo Feng couldn't tell if she was serious or joking; in any case, ever since then, she had unilaterally declared the side bedroom her exclusive territory.
Yun Qianqian's bright, sparkling eyes were fixed on the canned goods that were nearly filling the side bedroom; she knew perfectly well how precious canned goods were in the apocalypse.
Zuo Feng smiled helplessly, gently patted Da Bai Tu's back, carefully placed Da Bai Tu on the soft sofa, and softly said:
"Da Bai Tu, stop messing around, want something to eat?"
He patted her small hand, which was still wrapped around his neck and unwilling to let go. He didn't dare to respond; Da Bai Tu was very lewd, and following her lead would surely bring out even more alarming words.
"I want bread, Eight Treasure Porridge, and bananas."
She knew she was overly hungry and could only choose soft, easily digestible foods for now, otherwise her stomach wouldn't be able to handle it. Her gaze swept over the pile of food on the coffee table, and she precisely picked out three items.
Carefully handing the bread, Eight Treasure Porridge, and banana to Yun Qianqian, Yun Qianqian took the food, her eyes and brows full of smiles, taking small bites of the bread, but her gaze secretly darted towards Zuo Feng.
"You eat first, I'm going out for a bit, I'll put medicine on you when I get back."
Zuo Feng stood up from the sofa, thought for a moment, and decided he still needed to notify the girl in room 1301 not to go to the Eleventh Floor.
"Where are you going?"
Yun Qianqian looked at Zuo Feng nervously; right now, she only wanted to cling to this Xiao Nan Ren and not be separated for a moment.
"Just saying hello to a neighbor. There are bad people on the Eleventh Floor who bullied Da Bai Tu, so I'll tell her not to go down."
He tore off a piece of bread and put it into Da Bai Tu's tempting little mouth. Zuo Feng walked towards the door; he knew the neighbor girl would do a second sweep, and Yin Jiu on the Eleventh Floor was not a good person. The little neighbor didn't know, and if she went over, it would be dangerous.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
The knocking made Yue Jiayu, who was on the balcony, jump. She had just heard the grating sound of a door opening and knew it was that hooligan. Yue Jiayu quickly ran to the door and looked out through the peephole.
"Ah! An exhibitionist!"
Looking through the peephole at Zuo Feng, who wasn't wearing a shirt, Yue Jiayu shrieked, her pretty face flushed red, and she covered her eyes with both hands, very tightly, except the gaps between her fingers were a bit wide, even wider than her eyes; she stared at Zuo Feng through the peephole, her big, watery eyes unblinking.
"Just letting you know, I went down and searched the Second Floor again today. There's an urn room on the Twelfth Floor, no one lives there, so no need to go. Don't go to the Eleventh Floor either, there are two bad people, I killed one, and there's another even worse one. Don't go down, it's dangerous, understand?"
Zuo Feng awkwardly touched his nose, trying to make his tone sound serious.
"That guy is very dangerous, you absolutely must not go near him."
Yue Jiayu covered her small mouth, her eyes filled with terror.
"The hooligan killed someone!" Oh my god, the person standing outside the door was not only an exhibitionist, but also a murderer!
"I... I know..."
Yue Jiayu's voice was trembling. She didn't dare not to respond—a murderer! Even if he was handsome and had a superior physique, it couldn't hide the essence of a hooligan, thief, exhibitionist, and murderer.
"Oh my! Who will save this weak, pitiful, and helpless Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu is so scared."
Yue Jiayu trembled wildly inside.
Hearing her response, Zuo Feng nodded with satisfaction, went back inside, and closed the door. He remembered there was an aerosol spray in the collected first-aid kit that could treat external injuries, along with alcohol, cotton swabs, and gauze. He quickly found the kit and returned to the sofa.
"Xiao Nan Ren, you're so amazing, you're already keeping a mistress! Is she pretty? Let me see her!"
Clearly, Da Bai Tu had been listening intently to Zuo Feng's conversation with the little neighbor.
"Foot!"
Zuo Feng pretended not to hear, put down the first-aid kit, and sat beside Da Bai Tu.
"Does Xiao Nan Ren want to play with my feet? Wuwu... I'm so delicate and soft, easily pushed over, I wouldn't dare resist~ My feet are for you to play with, but be gentle, okay? I'm afraid of pain... Wuwu..."
Da Bai Tu chattered on, and her two snow-white legs were already quickly resting on Zuo Feng's thigh. Zuo Feng actually quite enjoyed Da Bai Tu's chattering; it brought a strange sense of fullness.
He carefully lifted Da Bai Tu's small leg, looking at Da Bai Tu's dirty little feet. Zuo Feng pulled a fruit plate from the coffee table, poured a bottle of mineral water, and gently, as if handling fragile items, carefully washed her delicate little feet. After washing, he concentrated on examining the ankle injury—it was badly swollen.
Zuo Feng couldn't tell if the bones were injured, and he couldn't get medical attention right now, so he could only reduce inflammation and observe. His fingertips lightly touched the swollen area, and the small foot in his palm trembled slightly. A hint of pity flashed through Zuo Feng's heart; she must be in a lot of pain. He pulled out a wet wipe and meticulously cleaned the dirt from her right ankle, every movement careful.
As he wiped, Zuo Feng felt Da Bai Tu's delicate little left foot begin to become restless, poking him here and there, as if she was acting spoiled.
Zuo Feng twitched his lips, ignored the restless little left foot, and continued to focus on treating the injury on her right ankle.
Gazing at the tenderness and seriousness etched between Xiao Nan Ren's brows, Yun Qianqian's eyes softened like spring water, rippling in circles.
"Ha... Mission accomplished!"
Zuo Feng admired the round, plump bandaging result, finding it not clumsy at all, but rather proudly stroking his chin.
