He very patiently licked the outer half of the ice cream clean, then sucked her lips as if he was tasting sweet cream. It took him a long time to gently push open her teeth and taste the ice cream inside.

Zhou Shuwan closed his eyes and let him do what he wanted.

During the two days of illness, although the relationship had been confirmed, Qi Mingyu had been well-behaved and had not done anything excessive.

Now that she has recovered from her illness, he can no longer contain himself.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Shuwan had been half-pushed by him to sit on the desk. Her body was tightly entangled in his, and she leaned back, pushing several books on the corner of the desk to the ground with a loud clattering sound...

Zhou Jianghai's voice came from outside: "Wanwan, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

The two men finally woke up, breathing rapidly, with beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Zhou Shuwan's hands and feet were limp, and he only managed to avoid falling because Qi Mingyu held his waist.

Hearing the sound of Zhou's father walking towards this side after asking the question, Qi Mingyu, who was usually calm and composed, actually revealed a bit of panic in his expression. He didn't know whether to put Zhou Shuwan down or pick up the book.

This clumsy look is quite cute.

Zhou Shuwan couldn't help laughing and shouted outside: "Dad, it's okay, the book fell."

"Oh..." Outside, Mr. Zhou wanted to say something but stopped himself, and was taken away by Zhong Tiyun by the ear.

Qi Mingyu had calmed down and bent down to pick up a few books.

Zhou Shuwan took the initiative to hold his hand. The weather was hot, but his palm was dry and warm, not sweating. Holding it in her hand was very comfortable and made her feel safe. "Why? This is the first time I've seen you so nervous!"

Qi Mingyu looked at her with a smile, sat on the chair with her, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Uncle Zhou came to chat with me yesterday?"

In such a short time, the ice cream is almost melting.

Zhou Shuwan was eating a spoonful of ice cream when he heard the sudden words and almost choked: "What?"

Her eyes were wide open.

Qi Mingyu couldn't help laughing. He patted her back and continued, "I just wanted to talk to you. Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I'll say something bad about you?"

Zhou Shuwan glanced at him unhappily: "What did my dad say to you?"

Qi Mingyu replied: "Actually, he didn't say much. He just asked me to be nice to you and not let you down. In the end, it was..."

He chuckled softly again before continuing, "Finally, let me think it over carefully. If we don't handle our relationship well, then the neighborly relationship between our two families that has lasted for so many years will be completely broken!"

In fact, Zhou's father's original words were more direct.

He told Qi Mingyu directly that if he just felt that the post-apocalyptic life was too boring and wanted to find a young and beautiful girl to fall in love with, without any long-term plans, then he should make it clear as soon as possible, otherwise the two families would be in trouble as neighbors! He would also seek justice for his daughter!

There is absolutely no regard for the long-term neighborly relationship between the two families!

"Then how did you answer?"

Qi Mingyu interlaced his fingers with Zhou Shuwan's and looked straight at her with tenderness and affection: "I'll tell Uncle Zhou that I will try my best to behave well and turn the relationship between our two neighbors into a real family!"

Zhou Shuwan was stunned for a moment before suddenly saying, "You're so smooth-talking! You're dreaming of getting a permanent position so soon!"

Qi Mingyu looked at the blush on her face and couldn't help but lean over to kiss her for a while before whispering, "Wanwan, this is my promise to your father, and it's also my promise to you! I will work hard!"

Zhou Shuwan had said before that although he was a special forces soldier, he was an expert at saying sweet words, which made her, who had only had one love experience, unable to resist.

Her face was slightly red, and she said nothing. She just lowered her head and played with his big hands with distinct joints and light calluses.

Qi Mingyu didn't force her to answer. He just kissed her forehead and continued to feed her the ice cream. They took a bite and finished it all in no time.

Zhou Shuwan remembered something: "Oh, I have some mugwort here. Please help me go to the basement and disinfect it. When Grandma Pang and Mu Mu go there tonight, we won't have to worry about infection."

"Okay. I'll be there in a minute."

The two of them cuddled for a while longer before Qi Mingyu reluctantly smoothed her hair and whispered, "I'm leaving now."

"Ok!"

When I went to the basement at night, there was indeed a faint scent of mugwort in the air.

Since the moxa was available and there were enough people, Zhou Shuwan took out a few moxa sticks and asked his mother and Grandma Pang to fumigate their backs and knees.

Staying in an air-conditioned room for too long will cause a lot of coldness in everyone's body. Appropriate use of moxa fumigation to dispel the cold is very helpful.

"Tiyun, Dahai, I want to tell you something." After finishing the mugwort fumigation, Grandma Pang said, "The temperature has risen to 68 degrees Celsius, and we don't know if it will continue to rise. The eggs in the refrigerator will go bad if we don't finish them. We need to find a place to raise the chickens."

Zhong Tiyun also worried: "I have been thinking about this problem. I have raised the chicken for several months, but it has not laid eggs. It would be a pity to kill it."

Grandma Pang thought more long-term: "Not only is it a pity, but every household can't raise chickens these days. When the temperature really drops in the future, we won't be able to find eggs to hatch chicks. Therefore, we absolutely cannot kill these chickens from our two families."

Zhong Tiyun nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Qi Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there's a small passageway in the middle of the underground passageway leading to our safe house. If we want to raise chickens, the space isn't big, so if we squeeze in, it should be enough."

The passage he was talking about was the one that turned towards the entrance when coming down from the underground tunnel above, which was about two meters away.

"Laying down felt and straw and then putting the cage down will definitely make it cool enough, but the place will be crowded and it will also affect the air quality here," said Zhong Tiyun.

The biggest disadvantage of living in a basement is that it is far away from the ground and has no ventilation, so the air is not circulating. If you keep chickens above your head, you will definitely smell the stench of chickens every day.

"Our community didn't have a basement back then, but other old communities had them. Owners living on the first floor were given a basement of 10 to 20 square meters to store miscellaneous items. I heard that with the hot weather now, many people who have basements don't go to the underground basement, but live in their own basement. The temperature is not high, and it's not as noisy and there's no privacy as in the underground basement." Zhou Jianghai said.

This is what he heard when he went to the underground base.

Zhou Shuwan asked, "We don't have basements in this area, but are there any places where half of the houses are underground? Or maybe like in a commercial street, where half of the shops are underground. It might not be as cool as a basement, but it will definitely be cooler than the top floor."

Qi Mingyu actually thought of something. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There's a tool room in the property management building. It's only a few square meters. It's a leftover passage from back then. It wasn't dug deep underground, so it's definitely not suitable for living in. But if we clean it up, it should be suitable for raising chickens."
