Hearing his words, Jiao Lizhi was moved. As an orphan, she had been adopted several times but never stayed long with any family.
She always ended up back at the orphanage after a few months. Most of the families sent her back because of her rebellious and stubborn nature. After so many years of drifting like duckweed on the sea, she longed for a place she could finally call home.
She leaned down and gave her boyfriend a loud kiss on the cheek before saying, "Thank you, Brother Yan!"
The moment he heard this, Jin Xuyan knew she liked the idea. He cupped her chin and asked, "Ah Zhi, are you going to thank me with just that?"
As he leaned in to kiss her, Xiao Qi suddenly appeared on the door and said, "Captain, Sister-in-law, dinner is ready."
When he saw what they were doing, Xiao Qi froze. After a moment, he snapped back to his senses and blurted out, "S-sorry for disturbing! Captain, you can continue. I saw nothing!"
As Xiao Qi's footsteps retreated, Jin Xuyan sighed and let his girlfriend go. Even if he wanted to kiss her, that brat had completely ruined the mood.
Jiao Lizhi laughed at his frustrated expression and said, "Brother Yan, I'm hungry. Let's go eat first!"
Before heading to the dining room, she collected all the crystal cores into her space.
After dinner, Jin Xuyan followed her to her bedroom and lay on the bed as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Seeing how the shameless man closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, Jiao Lizhi's heart softened.
They had been fighting all day, and both of them were too exhausted to do anything else. Thinking that even if he had the will, he wouldn't be able to do anything in his current state, she threw caution to the wind, closed the door, and climbed into bed.
Perhaps because she felt his presence beside her, she didn't feel as guarded as she did when sleeping alone. Closing her eyes, she soon fell into a deep sleep.
Not long after, Jin Xuyan opened his eyes and moved closer to her. Only after he pulled her into his embrace did he smile and finally drift off to sleep.
Early the next morning, the Phantom team woke up before dawn. They took a shower, had breakfast, and checked their equipment.
Since they were heading out to fight zombies, Jiao Lizhi changed into a set of short-sleeved black tracksuits. She also wore a well-fitted sports bra and a pair of black sneakers.
Her tracksuit was made of light, breathable, and stretchy material, making it comfortable even in hot weather.
Before she could zip up her jacket, Jin Xuyan opened the door, and the two of them looked at each other in surprise.
His eyes traveled down and landed on her perky, round, and considerable-sized chest. In an instant, his throat felt dry, and he couldn't help but swallow.
Noticing his gaze, Jiao Lizhi quickly zipped up her jacket and asked, "Where are you looking?"
After being informed by Xun Che, the soldiers no longer blocked the Phantom team as they were free to enter or leave the area as they pleased.
This time, they drove the car to the newly prepared warehouses. Upon getting out of the car, Jiao Lizhi noticed that not only had ten houses been cleaned, but more than expected were ready.
Turning to her boyfriend, she asked, "Brother Yan, didn't you ask them to prepare ten more warehouses?"
Jin Xuyan looked at the houses and said, "Maybe Xun Che hopes we will give him more supplies. Yesterday, I heard that the survivors who had been chased out by the colonel before returned and have now settled in the base."
"Besides them, some survivors from the factory district also joined the base. With so many people arriving every day, the amount of supplies needed has increased at least threefold. So, it's normal for him to make extra preparations," he added.
Nodding at his words, Jiao Lizhi said, "Since that's the case, I will give him more. That way, I can have more space for the supplies we find later."
"Okay, but don't give him too much, or he will get suspicious," Jin Xuyan reminded her.
Jiao Lizhi nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know the limit."
The four of them walked to an empty house, and with Jin Xuyan guarding outside, Feng Yun and Xiao Qi followed Jiao Lizhi inside. They stood at the door while she took out supplies from her space.
