"Anran, nothing went wrong when you went out to kill zombies, right?" Geng Yan grabbed Ji Anran's arm and pulled the other over.
He kept checking Ji Anran’s body back and forth everywhere to see if there were any wounds.
"Geng-ge, I didn’t get hurt, I'm fine." Ji Anran revealed a brilliant smile. "Yanhua is a very reliable teammate, cooperating with him, there were no problems at all."
Seeing that Ji Anran was fine, Geng Yan soon released the other.
"As long as nothing happened." Geng Yan then turned his gaze to Wei Yanhua. "Thank you for your care. Anran hadn’t caused you any trouble, right?"
Wei Yanhua lightly smiled, one that was exceedingly fascinating and charming yet hidden with various intentions.
"Anran is my friend, this was what I should’ve done." Wei Yanhua then showed a puzzled look. "By the way, you are Anran’s..."
"He's my ex-boyfriend."
Without waiting for Geng Yan to speak, Ji Anran directly replied.
Wei Yanhua's expression also became very profound, and he dragged the ending tone of his sentence, "Oh, ex-boyfriend~"
"Right now I’m a very close friend of Anran’s, I will help Anran live safely and comfortably in the base from now on. During my absence, I have troubled you for taking care of Anran. It's already getting late, I still need to head to the hotel with Anran to pack up and go home. Let’s chat again another day. "
With this said, Geng Yan pulled Ji Anran's hand along to leave.
Ji Anran's small face was slightly red, and the smile on the corner of his lips couldn’t be hidden no matter how he tried.
Geng-ge... Geng-ge’s taken the initiative to hold my hand!
Back in the hotel, Geng Yan helped Ji Anran pack up his things.
That virtuous appearance was just like a little daughter-in-law.
Geng Yan’s expression was as usual, and he pretended to ask nonchalantly, "Anran, when did you and Wei Yanhua meet, how was it that you seem so familiar with him, even taking the risk going out with him to kill zombies?"
"Geng-ge, I want to join your team of ability users. However, my strength is not that high. But if I could retrieve my arrows, my strength would be greatly enhanced. So... Yanhua and I were like friends at first sight."
Ji Anran was very grateful towards Wei Yanhua, because Wei Yanhua promised to help him court this other man.
What a good male bestie!
"Friends at first sight?" Geng Yan began to frown. "We don’t even know what his intentions are. Anran, we'll be able to move into the residential area for ability holders soon. At that time, you'll be able to live your days safely in the base. You won’t have to leave the base, risking your life..."
"I don't want to!"
Ji Anran frowned, on his face was an unprecedented stubbornness.
Geng Yan also felt very helpless at heart.
During the apocalypse, dangers were lurking everywhere. He didn't want Anran to go out and take risks, but the other just had to...
"Listen to me, it’s the safest in the base..."
"And then? I'm like a parasite right now, do you want me to just stay in the base my whole life, waiting for you to support me? I'm not so weak to that point, I can go out and kill zombies! Geng-ge, Yanhua and I will demonstrate it to you tomorrow, I’ll prove to you using my strength!
Ji Anran's attitude is very firm. He had worked very hard recently in order to join Geng Yan's team of ability users. For several continuous weeks of arduous training to be gone with the wind, how would he be willing to accept that?
“…Fine, I'll take a look tomorrow."
Geng Yan had no choice but to take a step back.
However, he had already decided to pick some faults tomorrow so Anran would simply stay in the base.
Ji Anran was very happy and didn't continue to make a fuss. He immediately packed up his things and went home with Geng Yan.
The next day, Ji Anran took Geng Yan to find Wei Yanhua, and they went to a relatively open field of the base.
The people in the base liked to come here to walk and stretch after dinner, or to exercise if they got up early.
Now it was already past the time for morning exercises, so there were not that many people around the field.
“Geng-ge, this is where Yanhua and I both trained previously. We even went out to kill zombies and earned a lot of nuclei. You can take a look, I can run several laps without panting now.”
Ji Anran quickly went to run a few laps before Geng Yan could even stop him.
“I’m telling you, Yanhua and I work very well together. He would recollect all my arrows. I originally wanted to give you a demonstration, but I wasn’t sure how to show you. Why don't we go out to kill zombies right now while you can watch from the side?”
Geng Yan was silent for a moment. “No need, I think... It’s still better for you to stay in the base. In the case where one day the danger was just too high, where he can’t even take care of himself, and there’s no one to bring back your arrows, then what would you do?”
Ji Anran: “......”
Ah, those words make sense~
If we really ran into such a situation, then I could only slice up the zombie with my wind ability, hehe~
Wei Yanhua's lips slightly hooked up. "Oh, it seems that we just won’t be able to join Geng Yan's team, but well, that doesn't matter. In the base, don’t people whose strength is not even comparable to yours still go out to kill zombies just the same? If one were to worry about the dangers before stepping out the door, then they would only be able to be a rice weevil[1] for their whole life."
Geng Yan frowned.
As Geng Yan had expected, this Wei Yanhua wasn’t a fuel-efficient lamp[2], and the other soon threw out another sentence. "In my opinion, instead of joining other teams, the two of us should just form a two-person team and go out to kill zombies."
Geng Yan tightly clenched his fists. At this moment, he wanted, really wanted to beat Wei Yanhua, this eyesore of a seducer, to death.
Ji Anran appeared hesitant. "This..."
Even though he put forth so much of his efforts, Geng-ge was still unwilling to let him join the team... He obviously was already working hand in hand with Yanhua to mow down all the obstacles, but he was still being given the cold-shoulder.
Wait, that’s right! Didn’t Yanhua specifically come here to help him chase this man? If Yanhua really wanted to go out and collect supplies to become a whatever-winner in life, how could it be possible that he still hadn’t formed a team to go out and search yet?
Ji Anran looks at his little friend who liked to live a leisurely life, his obsidian-like big eyes shining.
“Yanhua, let's just form a team of ability holders with only the two of us. I think it's very relaxing to be in a team with you. The two of us have a good tacit understanding and would certainly become even better in the future.”
Geng-ge, you can go, take your own team and go out~ I'll just pull along my little partner and follow behind you. Humph~
Wei Yanhua's smiled even more brilliantly, very lovely and touching, and the charm that he was emitting seemed to have grown stronger.
For the sake of love, Ji Anran decided to carry out Plan B. However, in Geng Yan's eyes, he seemed just like a little lamb who had lost its head after being seduced by a fox spirit.
Geng Yan clenched his fist tightly. "Anran, think about it again. There are only the two of you, weak and easily outnumbered. It's dangerous outside the base..."
"It won’t be the first time I’ll be heading out with him, so what if that was the case?" Ji Anran had made up his mind and felt very good about it.
Wei Yanhua took the opportunity to fan the flames, "At that time, we can just take my van to go out. We don't have anyone with a space ability, so we will have to prepare water and other materials beforehand. I’m not sure what you’d like to eat, shall we go to the food store of the base to pick some things out?"
"Sounds good. Let’s go now." Ji Anran quickly blurted out.
He doesn’t know when Geng-ge would be leaving again, so he should get everything ready as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he couldn’t even find a shadow left after Geng-ge runs away, how would he be able to chase after the other?
Geng Yan was almost about to explode from anger, he almost even wanted to pick up a shard of broken glass to scratch up this vixen’s face!
"Anran..." Geng Yan took a deep breath. "I can’t rest assured with you, it’d still be better for you to join my team."
"Didn't you feel that Anran wasn’t strong enough?" Wei Yanhua directly stabbed with this knife.
Geng Yan took a deep look at Wei Yanhua, the threat in his eyes couldn’t be more obvious.
Wei Yanhua replied with a smile, "Don't look at me like that, I don't like men staring at my face like that."
Ji Anran was surprised and with some hidden bitterness, threw a glance at Geng Yan. His small chest heaved with anger while his little hands were clenched tightly.
"No wonder you’ve been reluctant to get back together, so it was because you felt I wasn’t beautiful enough."
Ji Anran muttered this, then turned and left in anger.
"Anran!" Geng Yan hurried to catch up.
Wei Yanhua quietly drifted, hiding his merits and fame.
Ji Anran soon calmed down and also knew that Geng Yan didn't like Wei Yanhua.
Geng-ge didn't have that good of an impression of Yanhua, so how would it have been possible for him to like the other? It was nothing more than Yanhua managing to get Geng-ge to bear a black pot[3] as they were trying to secretly plot against each other.
The corner of Ji Anran's mouth quirked up.
This combat effectiveness of his little friend is a little strong.
Hearing Geng Yan calling him from behind, Ji Anran very stingily ignored the other. He actually quite enjoyed this moment.
Having always run after Geng-ge to confess his love, but now... This felt a bit cool~
"Anran, he was just thoughtlessly speaking nonsense. I was just unaccustomed to seeing his face and stared at him a bit. I have nothing to do with him..." Geng Yan kept on explaining.
"I know. Geng-ge, after joining the team, Yanhua and I will work hard and won’t let you down." Ji Anran clenched his small fist and solemnly swore.
Geng Yan… didn’t feel touched at all.
"You’ll join the team as part of logistics. When it’s time to kill zombies, you will work with me and we’ll look after each other's backs. Tell Wei Yanhua that it’s enough for you to join alone."
Ji Anran only shook his head: “If I don't cooperate with Yanhua, my combat effectiveness would be much lower. I don't want to give you any trouble. Your teammates right now are very strong, and they probably wouldn’t want to see you carrying around a burden.”
Geng Yan: “......”
Hehe, the trouble that Wei Yanhua could bring me is much more terrifying than the zombies.
Geng Yan was very accurate in judging people. He knew that Wei Yanhua had some opinion about himself, whereas he also felt that the other was an eyesore. If Wei Yanhua was allowed to join his team, they would probably have more fights in the future!
Geng Yan tried his best, wasting a lot of salivae, hoping to kick Wei Yanhua, this person, out.
However, Ji Anran had already hardened his heart on this matter, so Geng Yan had no choice and could only compromise.
Wei Yanhua was a metal ability user. After Geng Yan's group of people had previously cleaned up the zombies, it was up to him and other metal-type and earth-type ability holders to go build the new wall.
Although Wei Yanhua had no ambition, he also wanted a safer house. Another new recruit of Geng Yan's team also participated at this time to earn the qualification to purchase a house.
Seeing this situation, Geng Yan decided to wait for the wall of the new district for ability users to be finished and for everyone to have packed up their things and moved in before heading back out to collect materials.
Therefore, Geng Yan trained Ji Anran in the meantime.
Geng Yan had joined the military for some period during college and had learned a lot of useful knowledge. It was also at that time that Geng Yan met that good friend of his who was now working in the base.
"Ah! Geng-ge, go gentler" Ji Anran looked at Geng Yan with watery eyes. "My arm hurts."
Ji Anran's wind ability was very strong, and he had also been tempered before by the apocalypse from his previous life. But in terms of pure fighting skills, Ji Anran was far from being able to be compared with Geng Yan.
Under the circumstance that he couldn’t use his ability, after being so carefully taught by Geng Yan, Ji Anran developed a deep understanding of what it meant to be abused.
"Didn't you train with Wei Yanhua for a while before? From how I see it, the results have only been so-so. That one surnamed Wei is just unreliable, it’s still better for me to teach."
Ji Anran was expressionless. "When I was training with Yanhua before, I was the one who made the training plan."
Geng Yan, who wanted to take the opportunity to step on the "love rival" but accidentally offended his sweetheart: “......”
Geng Yan raised his hand, covered his mouth with his clenched fist, and softly coughed, "You haven't trained much before, then adding on that you've been pampered for most of your life, to be able to train to this level is already very impressive."
Ji Anran: “......”
He he.
Geng Yan and Ji Anran then continued to train for a while longer, such that Ji Anran would soon flop onto the ground from tiredness
“Ah!”
Ji Anran’s arm was twisted back and restricted by Geng Yan. And lost once again.
"Geng-ge, you’re too strong. No more, I'm already tired to death."
The sweat on Ji Anran's face continuously slid down as the fringes of his hair were dripping wet, clinging tightly to his cheeks. His white shirt had long been soaked through with sweat on his back, becoming pasted onto his body, outlining the breath-taking lines.
Geng Yan released the other’s hand as his eyes brushed pass Ji Anran's small waist. "Let’s end here for today's training. You're probably also tired."
"So tired~"
Ji Anran didn’t waste a single moment and directly dropped his small head on Geng Yan's shoulder, almost as if he wanted to hang off the other’s body.
Geng Yan subconsciously helped Ji Anran up, his brows furrowed. "Is it that the training plan I designed for you too difficult?"
"Geng-ge~" Ji Anran sweetly called out. “There’s nowhere on my body that doesn’t feel tired, I almost can’t move my legs anymore. Can you carry me back, please?”
Geng Yan's expressions changed a few times, and his ears had also reddened. Only after a while did he finally cough out a sentence, "You really can't walk anymore?"
And one couldn’t really blame Geng Yan for being suspicious, for one must know, Ji Anran had always liked to say this in the past— En, when they had finished up in the bathroom and the other started being coquettish.
At this moment, Geng Yan's mind was full of unhealthy[4] memories. However, Anran, this coquettish thing, just had to continue hanging onto him, twisting around, being particularly attractive.
If his self-control hadn’t been so amazing, Geng Yan would have hardened on the spot.
"Anran, I'll help you." Geng Yan was really worried that he wouldn’t be able to control himself.
This was a field of the base, and as it was currently evening, there were various groups here exercising, countless pairs of eyes watching.
If he really made a fool of himself in public here, the news would definitely be spread all over the base by tomorrow!
With difficulty, Geng Yan managed to send Ji Anran back to the residence but then soon came back out in haste to catch his breath.
He thought for a bit and went straight towards Pan Weilong's home.
Not long after, Geng Yan left from there as well.
Pan Weilong, a powerful fire-type ability holder, had never had the habit of carrying weapons. But this time, he directly picked up a thick stick and marched angrily towards Pan Weihu's house.
Recently, Pan Weihu had just managed to successfully court a beautiful man. At this moment, he was precisely embracing the other person, playing and kissing in the living room.
When Pan Weilong arrived, seemingly to have killed his way over, Pan Weihu was stunned stupid.
“Gege, what are you doing here with a stick? Ah, Gege, I'm your younger brother, don't kill me!”
Pan Weilong pulled Pan Weilong to one side, directly brandishing the stick to beat the other!
Pan Weihu cried his heart out as he tried to beg for mercy in a variety of ways, but Pan Weilong remained unmoved.
“I gave you the opportunity to live well while staying in the base, providing you food, providing you housing. Yet you, you'd only cause trouble for me day in and day out! Today I’m going to kill you, this scourge!”
Pan Weihu rolled around on the ground but still couldn’t manage to avoid his brother's stick that was falling down.
But this was also reasonable. Pan Weilong had fought against zombies so many times already, whereas Pan Weihu would usually stay shut-in at home, so obviously, the other’s speed would be far slower than that of a zombie. Therefore, aside from accepting the beating, what else could the younger brother have done?
"Brother, I was wronged! I, I haven’t done anything!"
"You still dare to be stubborn, not admitting your mistakes! You took advantage that Geng Yan was away and went to harass his lover. How could I have raised such a trash younger brother like you who would start having evil designs because of s★x?" Pan Weilong was exceptionally furious.
His brother liked beauties, which he didn't care about. His younger brother could play around with however many he wanted, after all, it was only an exchange of supplies of two willing parties, there’s nothing wrong with that.
But this stinky boy really had the guts this time, he just had to find someone who was already taken!
"I also don't know. Ji Anran is good-looking, so I had only thought about it. But who knew that Ji Anran would go and find another ability users, so I thought he and Geng Yan’s relationship was broken up. I had just wanted to pick up the pieces, that’s all... Ah, Chen Xiaohui, it’s Chen Xiaohui. He was the one who was h★llbent on egging me on!"
"You’re not a three-year-old kid anymore, it’s not as if you can’t make your own judgments! The decisions you made yourself, you should pay the price on your own!"
Pan Weihu took a few more hits from the stick. It was only when Pan Weilong had beaten Pan Weihu until the other looked like a dead dog that he finally stopped.
"Go, carry him to Geng Yan's house and tell him that this was to apologize," Pan Weilong ordered, and his face relaxed a little. "This smelly boy deserves a beating, so when Geng Yan goes to beat him, you guys don't need to stop him. It’s fine as long as he doesn’t die."
He couldn't beat Geng Yan, so he didn't really have a favorable impression of the other. To put it bluntly, what he had for the other was jealousy. However, to send someone to harass his family while taking advantage of the other party's absence...
Such a low act like that, what would others think of him in the future?
As Chen Xiaohui saw Pan Weihu's misfortune, he was trembling in fear inside.
Pan Weilong walked over and gave Chen Xiaohui a hideous grin.
"I had already known you weren’t a fuel-efficient lamp, but you're actually more capable than I had thought."
Chen Xiaohui took a few steps back in fright. "I, I didn’t do anything. Pan Weihu said that he was interested in Ji Anran and told me to inquire about his news, I was only following orders. The others are also like this, obeying Pan Weihu’s every word, I’m not the only one."
"Was it not you who took him to see how Ji Anran looked on purpose? You didn't whisper by his ear about my relationship with Geng Yan, encouraging him to deal with Ji Anran?"
Chen Xiaohui was rendered speechless.
As soon as Pan Weilong waved his hand, the others rushed over to hold down Chen Xiaohui.
Chen Xiaohui was only a water-type ability holder, his attack power wasn’t very high. With so many ability users in the room, there was no way he could escape. He also didn't dare to fight back with his ability. These people were only straightforwardly trying to catch him without using any of their abilities, so he naturally wouldn’t want to open that can of worms.
Otherwise, if all of their abilities got aimed at him, it would be more than difficult for him to survive!
"We can't kill people at will in the base. And with what you’ve done, even if I asked the base to arbitrate, they still won’t sentence you to death. So I can only let my subordinates take good care of you." Pan Weilong raised his hand to pat Chen Xiaohui's face twice, then turned and walked out.
Fists fell on him like a torrential storm, and Chen Xiaohui could only curl up in a ball, holding his head, protecting it so he won’t be beaten into a fool.
He was very clear in his heart that if Pan Weilong had been furious enough to beat Pan Weihu into that shape, he could only be beaten worse!
Pan Weihu liked beauties, and Chen Xiaohui’s appearance was also rather delicate and pretty, very eye-catching in a crowd.
But Pan Weihu had a very poor impression of Chen Xiaohui because the other party had once instigated him, trying to use him.
So the Pan Weihu now, who had been sent to Geng Yan's home, had an even deeper resentment against Chen Xiaohui.
Fortunately, he hadn’t been mesmerized by Chen Xiaohui’s face, otherwise, he'd probably die of anger right now. That dead b★st★rd Chen Xiaohui better wait for him, wait until he gets back, he must definitely beat Chen Xiaohui into meatloaf!
“Is Geng Yan in? We were sent by Pan Weilong, may you open the door?”
Ji Anran quickly walked over. "Coming."
The relationship between Geng-ge and Pan Weilong wasn’t very good. What is Pan Weilong trying to do by sending people here?
Ji Anran opened the door and found several people carrying a stretcher, on which a person was lying.
The body was obese, while the face had been beaten swollen and the arms were black and blue all over.
"This is..." Ji Anran was confused.
Geng Yan, who was washing dishes, rinsed off his hands and came out to have a look. "This is Pan Weihu?"
Geng Yan had only met Pan Weihu a few times. So if he hadn't just gone today to collect debts, he probably wouldn’t have been able to recognize this man.
"Yes, my family’s boss is very apologetic. So he personally went and taught his younger brother a lesson, if you are not satisfied, you are welcome to do it again yourself."
Geng Yan went up to check on Pan Weihu's injuries and found that Pan Weilong was really quite ruthless!
"Anran, he harassed you before. If you still feel pent up about it, you can have a go at him right now."
On Ji Anran's delicate face was a pair of dazed and innocent eyes. "I think he’s already hurt quite seriously, let’s just forget it."
The other person’s already beaten to this state, so what if he went to kick the other another two times and accidentally killed him, what then?
The people who carried stretchers typically followed beside Pan Weilong on a regular day and have never seen Ji Anran before.
Looking at Ji Anran's thin body, who seemed so weak and helpless, they could not help but feel full of emotions.
Look-look, take a good look at what good deed their family’s second young master had done?
This young man was so weak, yet the second young master even wanted to take advantage of when the other’s husband wasn’t around to pick the other up. But in the end, the young man still pleaded to let Second Young Master go. Alas, Second Young Master is just too much of an ingrate!
How would they ever know that it was only because Ji Anran was worried that if he really added another kick, that it might accidentally cause this salted fish[5], who was lying in front of him, lose the last breath that was keeping him alive.
"You guys best take him away. From how I see it, it seems he has learned his lesson."
Geng Yan closed the door, then protectively brought Ji Anran to sit on the sofa.
"In this time that I wasn’t here, you must have been frightened." Geng Yan looked at Ji Anran worriedly and felt some self-blame in his heart.
It was all because of his negligence...
Ji Anran pursed his lips, and after a moment's deliberation, he still decided to tell Geng Yan the truth.
“That day, in order to join your team of ability users, I left the hotel to find Yanhua to cooperate. When I came back, I ran into Pan Weihu. He confessed to me, but Yanhua was also with me at that time. I would have been fine, don't blame yourself.”
Geng Yan: “......”
Again, it’s that guy, Wei Yanhua...
Although we should thank Wei Yanhua for this matter, still though… I still think he's a real eyesore!
After the construction of the new district was finished, Geng Yan and Ji Anran packed up and moved into the new house.
Ji Anran was like a jubilant little sparrow, flittering around to fix up and decorate the new house.
Meanwhile, Geng Yan just trailed behind Ji Anran, following all of the other’s orders.
"Geng-ge, let's hang a picture here. It’s too empty right now, doesn’t look good."
Geng Yan pulled a hammer and nail out from his space. "Okay."
"Geng-ge, let's put our wardrobe here."
"Okay."
"Geng-ge, let’s put a rug in front of the main door, let’s put the gray one."
"Okay."
Geng Yan and Ji Anran immersed themselves in the joys of decorating their new house, a feeling that almost couldn’t be more splendid.
The houses in this new district for ability users had already been renovated and repaired, so the water and electricity access have also been reconnected. Living in these houses, there seemed to be an illusion of having gone back to the apocalypse had happened. It was only when one looked out through the window and saw a stretch of darkness outside, instead of the brilliant, sparkling lights of the many families, would one recall that they were living in the apocalypse where supplies were scant.
Ji Anran made several rounds through the house and only sat down to rest on the sofa when he had confirmed that they had finished fixing everything up.
"Ah, I'm so exhausted."
Geng Yan moved over. "Do you need me to massage your shoulders?"
"That’d be nice." Ji Anran closed his eyes to enjoy.
This skill really isn’t bad~
Finished with massaging Jin Anran’s shoulders, Geng Yan raised his hand, bringing up some of the other’s hair. "Your hair is getting a bit long."
"It hasn't been cut since the apocalypse started, how could it not be long?"
Geng Yan took out a pair of scissors. "I'll help you trim it."
Ji Anran's eyes widened. "Are you sure? How are your skills? Why haven't I heard that you have learned how to cut hair before?"
"When I was in the military, I would always cut my own hair."
Ji Anran's expression was as if he was on the verge of death. “...So, you going to give me a flat crew-cut, Mr. Tony?"
"I haven't tried any other hairstyles before, I will work hard." Geng Yan continued to offer his services.
"Forget about the hairstyle, do you provide comprehensive health services[6]?” Ji Anran’s lips suddenly curled up as he looked at Geng Yan shyly, appearing very expectant.
Geng Yan’s hand froze, he solemnly replied, "I don't have this listed on the services offered by my business."
"Mr. Tony, you can't do business like this~" Ji Anran continued to tease the other.
But then, the doorbell rang.
Ji Anran: “......”
A perfectly good apocalypse, just why must there be electricity!
As if he had been granted amnesty, Geng Yan quickly opened the door.
But the moment that he saw the face of the man outside, the smile on his face instantly disappeared.
Wei Yanhua stood outside with an adamant smile.
"Anran, you’re settled in. According to our previous agreement, I’m sending over the things as you’re moving. These are all supplies that we had found when we went out before, you can take inventory."
Ji Anran's expression was a bit profound. "No need, I trust you. Geng-ge, store away the supplies."
With a wave of Geng Yan’s hand, the supplies disappeared from where they were.
“Anran, it's already late. Hurry up and go shower, then you can sit around a bit more before retiring. Don't go to sleep late.”
Ji Anran answered, "Oh."
Seeing Ji Anran leave didn’t upset Wei Yanhua, instead, he continued to look at Geng Yan with a smile. "What are you trying to do by sending Anran away?"
"Nothing. Did you need anything else? If not, do hurry and go back to have an early rest. It's already late, Anran and I need to rest, so we won't ask you to come in and have a seat."
Wei Yanhua's smile became deeper: "This is how you treat your guests?"
"You are Anran's good friend and can enjoy special treatment." Geng Yan's smile didn’t reach his eyes.
Wei Yanhua knew that he was being regarded as a love rival by Geng Yan, so he felt even more agitated inside.
His little friend was always running after, following behind Geng Yan, such that he couldn't even bear to watch anymore.
So as a good gay bestie, how could he not lend a hand?
Geng Yan held the door. "See you."
"Wait!"
Wei Yanhua walked towards the stairs and brought down a suitcase that he had hidden there.
"This is for Anran, let him have a look."
Geng Yan smiled. "Anran is under my care, he’s not lacking this bit of supplies. You don't have to gift him any, I can just give it to him."
“This also shouldn’t be considered a gift. After all, they’re supplies that the two of us had found together, so this is what he deserves. If you are curious, you can open it and have a look.” Wei Yanhua gave a meaningful smile.
Then regardless of Geng Yan's reaction, he straightaway left.
Geng Yan pulled the suitcase inside, placing it in the living room.
Why did Wei Yanhua deliberately point out this suitcase?
He just stared at the suitcase for a while and couldn’t hold back his hands from wanting to open it.
In any case, all these supplies in Anran's suitcases would be sorted and organized by him before being put away. There would be no difference whether he saw them earlier or later.
With a ‘click’, the suitcase was opened. Then immediately, things rustled and crashingly, flowed out.
After taking a closer look, Geng Yan's face darkened.
If these weren’t con-dom-s[7], then what else could they be?!
In order to save space, the original packaging of the condoms had already been removed and had just been directly packed into the suitcase one by one.
So because of Geng Yan’s momentary impatience, forgetting to lay the suitcase down horizontally, such a landslide-like effect occurred.
After Ji Anran finished taking his shower, he walked into the living room, intending to tell Geng Yan that he could go use the bathroom now.
But ended up... Seeing his ex-boyfriend desperately picking up condoms.
Ji Anran: “......”
Geng Yan raised his head and looked at Ji Anran, the condom in his hand felt as if it was a piece of heated wrought iron[8], so scalding that he quickly pulled his hand back!
But Geng Yan regretted it as soon as he shook it away.
What was there for him to feel guilty about? It wasn’t as if these were condoms that he had found and brought back!
The expressions flashing across Ji Anran's face was quite amazing as his brain turned quickly, analyzing the current situation. He only thought that Geng Yan had taken out his supplies to organize and sort them out. How could he have known that his proactive little friend had again done something big?
With a blushing face, Ji Anran walked over and shamelessly tried to pull a black pot over the other.
"Mr. Tony, you’re still saying that you don’t provide comprehensive health services? Then what is this? How many customers would you need to attract in order to use all these up~?"
Ji Anran leaned over to Geng Yan's ear and gently blew.
Geng Yan stooped back down and continued to pick up the condoms while pretending to be calm.
"Wei Yanhua gave these to you, what do you think are his intentions?"
"Oh. We were out collecting supplies, and when the two of us went to the supermarket, we decided to bring the condoms back with us. In any case, the more we continue to search for supplies, the less there would be. In the future, there is bound to be someone who would have to spend money to buy condoms, and so my road to becoming rich would then be a little wider."
Geng Yan appeared to be feeling tangled. "You’re confident that there would be someone with the need, who would have the spare money to buy a condom? Wouldn’t it be better for them to buy vegetables or meat to fill their stomachs?"
“Geng-ge, you’ve guessed my target audience incorrectly. Think about it, how many of those, who would come to need condoms, would actually be poor?” Ji Anran had an expression as if he fully understood everything. “To be that poor, let alone a woman, they won’t even be able to find a man. Rather than wanting a condom, they may well buy a few Barbie dresses for their five girls to dress them up[9].”
Five girls, Barbie skirts...
Geng Yan had been shocked into foolishness by Ji Anran's heroic words and just froze in place.
The original mood that had been stirred up has now been long scattered clean.
Anran... was really too strong.
Geng Yan sighed, full of vicissitudes of life.
Ji Anran saw this expression of the other as if Geng Yan had already seen through the emptiness of the material world and also realized that he had destroyed the beautiful atmosphere from just now. Again, he couldn't help but start grumbling about his own foolishness again.
Look, see what he just had to do again?
This cheap mouth of his, right when everything was perfect, wouldn’t any words of love do just fine, but he just had to talk about business plans! Well now, wasn’t this a dandy, the other person has already been frightened off.
He should’ve just delicate and bashfully pounced over into Geng-ge's arms just now then nuzzle, nuzzle, nuzzle! So regretful, QAQ!
Shortly after moving into the new residence, Geng Yan again set out to search for supplies with his new team of ability users.
What they had their eyes on this time was a farm.
It used to be engaged in agritourism. Their only question was whether it had been searched before already.
Geng Yan sat in the back seat, looking at the map, occasionally marking it with a pen.
If the farm has already been searched, we will then go to these places to take a look.
Ji Anran leaned over and glanced at the map.
"It will be sunny for the next few days, we can take advantage of this opportunity to collect more supplies."
In order to incite Geng Yan’s disgust, Wei Yanhua sat on the other side of Ji Anran.
"Fortunately, we have Anran who can predict the weather. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome if we ran into several days of heavy rain right as we left."
"I'm nowhere near that good, it’s just a bit useful that’s all."
Ji Anran lowered his small head onto Geng Yan's shoulder and looked at the map without blinking.
Although Ji Anran was discussing very seriously about the map with him, Geng Yan knew that for Ji Anran, the heart of the drinker lies not in the wine[10].
However, he didn’t dare at all to move Ji Anran's head away, in fear that Ji Anran would feel that his neck was tired and end up leaning it on Wei Yanhua's shoulder instead.
As the car sped along, and the surrounding scenery constantly flew by and away.
The road stretched out into the distance with no end in sight.
Who knew how long later, Geng Yan suddenly spoke, "The farm is visible now."
Ji Anran raised his eyes. There were fencing and trees not far away, above the entrance door were also the words: ‘Happy Farmhouse’.
The entrance to the farm was already wide open, so it was likely that some people had gone in before.
Then Ji Anran's heart suddenly sank.
At this time, the team saw a few people frantically run out. They then pushed aside the leaves and vines near the fence door, revealing a van.
Empty-handed, those men hurried onto the van and sped away.
Ji Arann's small hands were clenched tightly. Just what was inside this farmhouse?
"Look, a plane!" All of a sudden, the voice of a companion rang out.
Ji Anran reflexively looked up, only to see the top of the van.
Inside a car, just what kind of plane would you see?
Ji Anran cast his eyes back to the gate of the farmhouse, and then he saw a rooster as large as an ox, flying out over the fence.
And outside the fence of the farmhouse, there were still several chickens of this size!
Oh, so they were saying flying chicken[11]...
The author has something to say:
Mr. Tony: a way to… jokingly call a hairdresser?
Comprehensive health services: mankind’s primitive exercise of great harmony (not beneficial to one’s health at all, doing it too much can also be harmful to one’s bone, really don’t know why it’s called ‘comprehensive health’)
Five girls: a gentleman’s right hand holding tightly to said gentleman’s moral integrity, silent-black-deep-go[12]
——
Geng Yan: “This many condoms, how long would you need to sell them all?”
Ji Anran, pulling off pants: “If they can’t be sold off, then just use them all.”
