A peaceful atmosphere filled Room 806. Everyone was holding a steaming hot sweet potato in their hands.
One bite into the sweet potato revealed a soft, sweet texture without even the slightest bit of fiber. Xiao Feiran could not stop praising it.
“Sister Wan is seriously amazing at farming. Everything she plants turns out so successful.”
Zheng Wan shyly waved her hand and denied it.
“It’s all thanks to the space’s soil and environment. I didn’t really contribute much.”
Meanwhile, Cheng Zhi, whose mouth had nearly been burned, hurriedly put down her sweet potato.
“If you ask me, the credit should be split fifty-fifty between you and the space. If you didn’t take care of them at all, they wouldn’t grow on their own.”
The five of them chatted and laughed together. Only the occasional barking from Room 835 across the hall made their hearts tremble a little.
Huang Yiyi pressed herself against the peephole to look, but unfortunately the door across from them was shut.
She said worriedly, “Why does the dog across the hall sound so… so… so heartbroken? They aren’t abusing the dog, are they?”
“Probably not.” Chen Siyu picked up her sweet potato after cooling it down with a few blows. “I checked earlier. Even though that little dog is bald, it’s pretty clean and really energetic. That means its owner has been taking good care of it.”
Thinking about it, Huang Yiyi agreed.
Life had already become this difficult, yet its owner still had not abandoned it. He probably treated it very well.
Across the hall in Room 835, they had finally succeeded in calming Shutiao down. Full of anticipation, they opened the supplies they had traded from Room 806.
Looking at the clothes in front of them, the four grown men fell into silence once again.
One military training uniform.
One Tai Chi practice outfit.
One oversized pink T shirt paired with purple yoga pants.
And the last outfit was truly something special.
A cockroach costume.
Qi Yanche stared at the clothes and felt his head buzzing.
The Tai Chi outfit was one thing, but what the hell was up with the cockroach costume?!
Chen Yiyi stared blankly, unable to believe what his eyes were seeing.
“So modern female college dorms actually contain this many magical items?”
“We seriously tried our best. These were the only things we thought you could fit into. Everything’s been washed. The cockroach costume has never been worn. It’s brand new.”
Shen Lingfeng looked at the note in his hand and felt his temples throbbing.
“Hahahahaha! The cockroach costume is brand new, hahahaha! Nobody would wear this thing even if it was brand new!”
Lu Yuan let out a deep sigh and quietly elbowed Qi Yanche and Chen Yiyi beside him.
The three exchanged looks.
Then Lu Yuan shouted:
“Whoever grabs something first keeps it!”
The military uniform and Tai Chi outfit instantly disappeared.
Chen Yiyi, who reacted half a second slower, grabbed the pink T shirt and ran.
Only homeless drifter Shen Lingfeng and the cockroach costume remained, staring at each other.
A long while later, Shen Lingfeng roared:
“You three bastards!”
Somehow they had managed to get water from somewhere.
After showering and shaving, all four looked significantly fresher.
Lu Yuan had finished washing first. Wearing the Tai Chi outfit that still carried a faint laundry detergent scent, he lay sideways on his bed and happily began commenting on everyone else’s outfits.
“Yanche looks like a stepson abused by his evil stepmother. He’s eighteen and still wearing fifteen year old clothes. His ankles are sticking out. Couldn’t she at least buy the kid clothes that fit?”
“Chen Yi looks like a complete psycho. By day he’s a non mainstream rebel, and at night he tears away the disguise and becomes a cross dressing pervert.”
Then he suddenly burst out laughing.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Shen Lingfeng! HAHAHAHAHA! You actually look like a cockroach!”
Lu Yuan laughed so hard his glasses went crooked.
The other two also struggled to hold back their laughter to varying degrees.
Even Shutiao came over and pawed at Shen Lingfeng’s cockroach legs, as if saying:
Finally, someone uglier than me.
Shen Lingfeng threw a towel straight at Lu Yuan’s face and ground his teeth.
“Can you stop talking? You sound like one of those gossiping old grandmas doing morning exercises in a neighborhood park.”
“At least grandmas are still human. You’ve already evolved beyond the category of human.”
Lu Yuan continued fanning the flames.
Shen Lingfeng exploded with rage.
Waving the two cockroach antennae around, he climbed toward Lu Yuan’s bed and roared:
“You little bastard is dead tonight! If I don’t beat your teeth all over the floor, my surname isn’t Shen!”
“Hahahaha! The cockroach is attacking! Brother Yan, save me! Hahahahaha!”
The two rolled around wrestling on the bed boards while Shutiao anxiously ran circles beneath them.
Qi Yanche silently covered his ears and took several deep breaths.
Very nice.
Everyone was so energetic.
He felt very comforted.
Comforted his ass!
It was so damn noisy!
After Cheng Zhi finished showering and came out, she heard the laughter coming from across the hall and unconsciously smiled too.
“Room 835 is really lively every day. First crying, then laughing.”
Chen Siyu, who sat petting rabbits nearby, nodded in agreement.
“Being able to stay in such good spirits during the apocalypse is really not easy.”
She hoped the people living in Room 835 could coexist peacefully with them.
Even if they never became friends, she hoped they would never become enemies.
After all, Cheng Zhi and the others were just a bunch of college students in their early twenties.
Deep down, they still did not want to spend every day fighting and killing while remaining alone.
Meanwhile, Huang Yiyi had grabbed Zheng Wan and insisted on taking her pulse.
Zheng Wan resisted with all her might.
“Traditional Chinese medicine is incredibly profound. You’ve only studied for a few days and you already think you know how? Stop delaying me from pickling cucumbers!”
Huang Yiyi wrapped both arms tightly around Zheng Wan’s waist and practically hung her entire body off the thin girl.
The two struggled for quite a while.
Eventually Zheng Wan became exhausted. She sighed and resigned herself, extending her hand.
Huang Yiyi became overjoyed and quickly pulled Zheng Wan’s hand over.
She carefully placed it atop a Panpan mini bread roll.
Then she draped a cleaning rag over Zheng Wan’s wrist.
“…”
Zheng Wan was genuinely speechless.
The gesture seemed strangely familiar.
She vaguely felt she had seen something like it before, but she could not remember where.
Still, she knew one thing for certain.
Something was definitely wrong.
Seeing this, Xiao Feiran tilted her head slightly and whispered into Cheng Zhi’s ear:
“Doesn’t pulse taking usually start immediately? What’s with covering her wrist with a rag?”
As someone who had practically watched Empresses in the Palace enough times to wear out the recordings, Cheng Zhi immediately understood.
Huang Yiyi was imitating Imperial Physician Wen taking the pulse of noble consorts in the palace.
The Panpan bread roll was playing the role of the wrist cushion, and the rag was standing in for the silk cloth.
After Cheng Zhi explained it all, Xiao Feiran became speechless too.
She only said, “Yiyi’s about to get beaten again,” then climbed into bed to sleep.
Looking at Huang Yiyi, who sat there seriously frowning while taking her pulse, Zheng Wan became suspicious.
Could Huang Yiyi have actually learned pulse diagnosis?
The next second, Huang Yiyi suddenly pulled away the rag and laughed foolishly.
“Hehe, the cloth was too thick. No wonder I couldn’t feel a pulse.”
Zheng Wan: “…”
Huang Yiyi held Zheng Wan’s wrist with one hand and flipped through a book with the other, looking extremely serious.
After a long while, she confidently snapped the book shut.
“The pulse is smooth and flowing, like pearls rolling across a plate. Sister Wan, this is a pregnancy pulse.”
Zheng Wan felt her head buzzing.
She immediately grabbed the nearby bucket filled with pickled cabbage.
“Do you hear the nonsense coming out of your mouth? I’ll give you three seconds to run. If I catch you, I’ll pickle you too and eat you as sauerkraut tonight!”
Huang Yiyi instantly bolted.
She ran straight toward Xiao Feiran’s bed.
Xiao Feiran had the highest combat strength in the dorm, time to cling to her thigh and beg for protection!
Unfortunately, Xiao Feiran declared that Huang Yiyi had disturbed her rest.
Then she joined forces with Zheng Wan and gave Huang Yiyi a brutal double beating.
And so another wonderful day came to an end amidst Huang Yiyi’s miserable screams.
