Carrying Mo Xiaohui and a cardboard box, Li Nan staggered a few steps in the hallway before finally reaching the fifth floor. He then stopped in front of an apartment door.
Li Nan fumbled around his body for a while before finding a set of keys, which he inserted into the keyhole. With a creak, the door swung open.
He pressed a button next to the door frame, and the lights turned on, bringing a hint of warmth to the space.
After ensuring that nothing was following him outside, Li Nan closed the door and engaged the deadbolt.
The room was small, probably around thirty square meters, so once the lights were on, the entire space came into view. Right behind the door was a bed, next to which stood a computer desk. At the far end was a small bathroom, and various miscellaneous items were scattered on the floor, suggesting that Li Nan's personal hygiene wasn't particularly well-maintained.
Li Nan tossed the cardboard box onto the floor and then threw Mo Xiaohui onto the bed. He then unintentionally collapsed onto the ground, letting out a long sigh.
In just one day and night, he had experienced so much, and now that he was back in his little home, he felt an unusual sense of relief.
"The world has turned out this way; what else can you do? Just take it easy! One day at a time!" Li Nan comforted himself before heading over to the water dispenser next to the computer desk and gulping down a large cup of water, nearly choking in the process!
Mo Xiaohui, who had been thrown onto the bed, started laughing. "How come you didn't choke to death?"
Li Nan replied dumbfoundedly, "Weren't you unconscious? How come you're so energetic now?"
Mo Xiaohui pouted. "Who said I was unconscious? I just ignored you!"
Li Nan shrugged it off. "Didn't you say you were hungry? There's food here; you can cook for yourself!"
Mo Xiaohui looked around the room and frowned. "Is this really your home?"
Li Nan nodded. "Yes! This is my home. Don't underestimate its size; I worked hard to rent this place!"
"It's too small, too messy, and too dirty!" These three comments summed up Mo Xiaohui's evaluation of Li Nan's home. Thinking back to seeing her Lamborghini outside Jiangbei Hospital earlier, Li Nan knew that her previous living standards must have been quite high.
"I can't help it! I'm just a small fry trying to make a living. I want to live in a big house too, but that'll have to wait until I become a lead surgeon!" Li Nan's expression paused for a moment before he leaned down to rummage through the cardboard box.
"Here! There's a pig trotter; you can snack on this while I cook some instant noodles!"
Mo Xiaohui took the pig trotter that Li Nan tossed her way and immediately began gnawing on it without hesitation.
"Finally, we can eat something. I'm so hungry that my stomach is touching my back!" Mo Xiaohui said, munching on a pig's trotter.
Li Nan looked at Mo Xiaohui's eating posture and then glanced at her ample figure; it was truly not easy for such a person to go hungry!
Li Nan tore open seven or eight packets of instant noodles and poured them into the induction cooker, then waited for the water to boil.
Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Li Nan had a determined expression as he quietly waited for the noodles to cook. After indulging in her meal, Mo Xiaohui finally noticed Li Nan's expression and said, "I didn't look down on you earlier. Having a small house isn't a big deal; it doesn't mean you lack ability!"
Li Nan shook his head, "What are you talking about?"
Mo Xiaohui swallowed a mouthful of food, "I didn't say anything. But what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about what happened earlier at the convenience store downstairs. That Sister Wang's behavior was really strange!"
Mo Xiaohui replied, "At that time, your movements were quick. I didn't see much of the process, but it must have been simple. Your Sister Wang must have been in the process of turning into a Zombie when you encountered her, which led to your mistaken judgment!"
Li Nan found it interesting, "How do you know she was in the process of turning?"
Mo Xiaohui smiled, "Is there any other explanation?"
Li Nan thought to himself that this woman was quite sharp. What she said made sense; Sister Wang not attacking him had indeed caused his misjudgment. Looking back now, it was clear he had been careless. In this apocalypse, he needed to be more cautious; survival was difficult, and one wrong step could lead to death.
Li Nan felt guilty and promised himself to be more careful in the future and not make blind judgments again.
The water in the induction cooker began to bubble, and once Li Nan noticed, he tore open several seasoning packets and added them in. After stirring for a bit, he said to Mo Xiaohui, "It's ready!"
Searching around the room, Li Nan could only find one pair of chopsticks and one bowl. With two people in the room, it was a bit awkward. There was no way around it; after all, Li Nan had always been single and didn't have extra utensils.
Unable to find anything else, Li Nan rummaged through the trash bin in the room and found another pair of disposable chopsticks. After washing them in the bathroom, he said, "I'll use this pair; you can use the clean chopsticks!"
Mo Xiaohui felt a bit embarrassed, "Are those chopsticks okay?"
Li Nan didn't care much about it and immediately used the second-hand disposable chopsticks to scoop out some noodles from the induction cooker. He ate quite heartily.
Seeing this situation, Mo Xiaohui became a bit reserved and picked up some instant noodles, eating them one small bite at a time.
Out of seven or eight packs of instant noodles, Mo Xiaohui only ate the equivalent of one pack, while the rest were devoured by Li Nan, who also finished off the last pot of soup.
Since Mo Xiaohui had already eaten a pig's trotter earlier, Li Nan wasn't worried about her not being full. After the meal, Li Nan comfortably lay down on the floor, seemingly enjoying the moment.
Mo Xiaohui hesitantly said, "There's only one bed here. How are we going to sleep tonight?"
Hearing Mo Xiaohui's barely audible voice, Li Nan couldn't help but chuckle. "You can sleep on the bed; I'll just make a sleeping mat on the floor!"
Mo Xiaohui fiddled with the hem of her clothes, appearing quite embarrassed. In such a large room, aside from the bed, adding a sleeping mat would likely take up space right to the door, leaving little room for anything else.
Next to the bed was a small cabinet. Li Nan rummaged through it and pulled out a few pieces of clothing, laying them on the floor before collapsing onto them. "Let's sleep! I won't take advantage of you!"
Mo Xiaohui's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't quite figure out whether she wanted Li Nan to take advantage of her or not; women's thoughts were truly hard to decipher. If Li Nan really wanted to do something, she probably wouldn't resist. However, deep down, Mo Xiaohui hoped for a quiet night because relationships should progress gradually.
While Mo Xiaohui was lost in her thoughts, Li Nan had already laid down on the floor and started snoring.
