Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

Liu Yunshu let out a very comfortable sigh, her slightly furrowed brows completely relaxed, and her eyelashes slowly drooped.

Her whole body relaxed, allowing Li Xin's fingertips to wander over her shoulders and neck.

The warmth emanating from the palm seeped into the skin through the thin fabric, the pressure just right, gently rubbing away the deep-seated soreness.

Even the weariness accumulated in my heart from days of travel dissipated.

"Hmm... harder," she mumbled, her voice as soft as if it had been soaked in warm water.

"Yes, ma'am."

Li Xin chuckled softly, then increased the pressure with his fingertips, his thumb precisely pressing on the Fengchi acupoint on the back of her neck, slowly making circles.

Liu Yunshu's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and a soft moan escaped from her lips, the last syllable carrying a seductive softness.

Li Xin paused, his Adam's apple bobbing silently as his gaze fell on her gradually reddening earlobes.

That spreading blush was like a small flame, suddenly igniting into his heart.

His fingertips began to move down, sliding from her shoulders and neck to her back, slowly tracing the smooth lines of her spine through the fabric.

The pressure gradually changed; it was no longer just pressing and kneading, but instead added a lingering caress, becoming extremely tender.

"Li Xin,"

Liu Yunshu sensed the ambiguity in his gesture, her eyelashes fluttered, her amber eyes half-open, and a lazy smile spread across her face.

"Is this a massage, or an excuse to molest you?"

Li Xin didn't hide it, leaning closer, his warm breath brushing against her ear.

His voice was extremely low, with a magnetic huskiness, like a lover's whisper:

"Naturally, both are present."

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat mocking and provocative:

"Do you think Qin Mutou has as many tricks up his sleeve as I do?"

Liu Yunshu chuckled at his teasing, and when she turned her head to the side, the tip of her nose almost brushed against his lips.

Their breaths mingled warmly, their expressions tender and lingering. "You're quite confident, aren't you?"

The smile in Li Xin's eyes suddenly deepened, like a drop of thick ink, instantly tinged with surging desire.

He cupped the back of her neck with his hand and lowered his head to kiss her two alluring, crimson lips.

This kiss wasn't as restrained as Qin Zheng's; instead, it carried his usual flamboyance and possessiveness, burning and unrestrained.

"Stop fooling around..."

She turned her head to the side, panting, her eyes red and brimming with tears.

"I just rested..."

"I'm going to make a scene."

Li Xin persisted, his lips tracing down her neck, lightly nibbling at the faint marks that belonged to another person.

There was a hint of childish competitiveness in his voice:

"What Qin Mutou can give, I can give too. What he can't give... I can give even more of."

His fingertips gently traced circles on her waist, sending a shiver down her spine.

The grip on his wrist gradually loosened, turning into a soft, boneless lean.

Li Xin was overjoyed and was about to take another step when a very soft knock suddenly came from outside the door.

"elder sister……"

Chu Sheng's soft, sweet voice drifted in through the door, carrying a cautious tone and a hint of barely perceptible grievance.

"I'm all clean... Can I come in and see you?"

The tenderness inside the room was suddenly shattered.

Li Xin froze, and the lust in her eyes was instantly replaced by a fierce look.

He gritted his teeth, silently cursing, wishing he could rush out immediately and throw that tactless guy out of the base.

Liu Yunshu sighed helplessly and rubbed her forehead—how long has it been since things calmed down?

She raised her hand to straighten her slightly disheveled clothes and called out, "Come in."

The door was gently pushed open.

Chu Sheng stood at the door, now dressed in a light gray cotton outfit provided by the base.

His skin appeared even paler and more translucent, and his dark hair hung damply over his shoulders.

Water droplets dripped down her hair, slid over her delicate collarbone, and disappeared into her collar.

His dark red eyes timidly swept across the room, his gaze landing on Li Xin's hand that was around Liu Yunshu's waist.

A fleeting glint of malice flashed across his eyes, but he quickly replaced it with a pitiful expression and slowly walked to the bedside.

"Sister, are you still tired?"

He reached out, his icy fingertips trying to touch Liu Yunshu's cheek, but Li Xin slapped his hand away.

"Get out of here."

Li Xin raised an eyebrow, her tone unfriendly.

"Can't you see I'm loosening up Captain Liu's muscles? She just washed off the chill, don't come over and catch a cold."

Chu Sheng wasn't angry when his hand was slapped away; he just lowered his head in grievance.

Her long eyelashes drooped, concealing the cold light in her eyes, and her voice was so soft it could melt water:

"I just wanted to see my sister... If you think I'm in the way, second brother, I'll just stand here and won't bother you."

As he spoke, he obediently took half a step back, put his hands behind his back, like a neglected child.

But his gaze remained fixed on Liu Yunshu, his affection revealing a touch of obsession.

Li Xin rolled her eyes, then suddenly raised an eyebrow at him: "Really not leaving?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng not only did not retreat, but instead took a small step forward, almost touching the edge of the bed.

He raised his wet, red eyes to look at Liu Yunshu, like a little animal that had chosen its master and refused to leave its nest:

"I'm not leaving. I want to stay with my sister."

His gaze was direct and stubborn, as if he could stand there forever as long as she didn't speak to drive him away.

Li Xin was amused by his stubbornness and gave Liu Yunshu a light pinch on the side of her waist.

He turned to her, his tone tinged with a hint of accusation: "Captain Liu, look at him, he's clearly here to cause trouble."

Liu Yunshu was sandwiched between the two men, and her temples throbbed.

"You two..."

"Why don't we do it together..."

"What did you say...?"

The three of them fell silent at the same time, and the air became so quiet that they could hear each other breathing.

Liu Yunshu and Chu Sheng both looked at Li Xin, their eyes filled with shock.

Liu Yunshu was shocked that Li Xin was so open-minded, while Chu Sheng was shocked that such a thing was even possible!

Good heavens! This is completely mind-blowing for zombies!

His eyes were filled with complex emotions as he looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking, but then she saw the way that pretty boy was looking at her.

There was something in there: novelty, admiration... and even a hint of worship!

He suddenly straightened his chest and his back became a bit stiffer.

He decided to go all out, raising an eyebrow to meet their gazes, his tone becoming increasingly frank:

"What are you looking at? Since we're all together anyway, instead of arguing and annoying Captain Liu, let's just do this to save time."

Liu Yunshu was speechless for a moment after being choked by his self-righteous and absurd words.

She pinched his arm hard with her fingertips, both angry and amused:

"Li Xin, can't you put something serious in your head?"

"You're faking it."

Li Xin grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him, grinning with a roguish air.

"Having nothing but Captain Liu on your mind, is that considered serious?"

Chu Sheng stood to the side, his dark red eyes darting around.

The initial shock faded, replaced by a sudden realization, and even a hint of eagerness to try it out.

He leaned forward again, his cool fingertips gently tugging at Liu Yunshu's clothes, his voice soft yet carrying an unyielding stubbornness:

"Sister, what Second Brother said seems to make sense. I want to stay with you and don't want to leave."

This time, Li Xin was stunned. He had only casually made a harsh remark, but he didn't expect this pretty boy to actually take it to heart.

"Oh, so your third brother is so accepting?" he said jokingly.

Chu Sheng looked up at him with wet eyes, Liu Yunshu's figure reflected in his dark red pupils.

Ignoring Li Xin's teasing, she stared intently at Liu Yunshu.

She gently tugged at the hem of her dress with her fingertips, like a child begging for candy: "As long as I can be with my sister, anything is fine."

Li Xin was first taken aback, then chuckled softly, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at Liu Yunshu:

"Captain Liu, you see, it's not just me messing around, this guy is even more sensible than me."

"you……"

I am a happy little Changchang.

Qin Zheng walked towards the command room and saw Lin Yang squatting in the corner, staring intently at something.

He intended to walk straight past, but his gaze involuntarily drifted over there.

Two tan stray dogs were locked in a struggle in a gap between piles of clutter in the corner.

Just then, another male dog with lighter fur trotted over.

It was so thin that its spine protruded, yet it possessed the recklessness of a newborn calf, charging straight toward the overlapping figures.

Lin Yang stared wide-eyed, and blurted out instinctively, "Holy crap... this dog knows this too?!"

Qin Zheng's forehead twitched.

"Wow, the new guy's got guts!"

Lin Yang was still shouting, pointing at the skinny dog ​​with light fur.

"So skinny as a stick, and she dares to compete with the older brother for food? Is this some kind of post-apocalyptic 'jealousy rivalry'?"

The two male dogs growled at each other, baring their gleaming white canines.

Just when Qin Zheng and Lin Yang thought a fight was inevitable, what happened next made them both widen their eyes.

Lin Yang was so shocked that his jaw almost dislocated, and an uncontrollable gasp of astonishment burst out:

"Holy crap! What kind of logic is this?! The new guy doesn't fight, but... he actually joined in?!"

The dominant tan male dog didn't even try to drive it away.

He paused for a moment, then turned slightly to give the light-haired dog a little space.

What followed completely overturned Qin Zheng and Lin Yang's understanding of biological behavior.

"This...this actually works?"

Lin Yang was so shocked that his tongue was tied. He pointed at the three dogs and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"The apocalypse truly defies all reason; even dogs have evolved this kind of consciousness? Are they trying to build a post-apocalyptic dog 'harem'?!"

Qin Zheng's temple veins throbbed. This brat! What nonsense is he spouting!

Qin Zheng's temple veins throbbed.

But the next moment, his thick eyebrows suddenly furrowed, as if he had thought of something.

"Captain Qin! You're here?"

Wang Lu's footsteps approached from afar, interrupting Qin Zheng's thoughts.

Lin Yang suddenly snapped back to reality, hurriedly withdrawing his hand that was pointing at the corner of the wall. His face still showed lingering shock, and he chuckled dryly while scratching his head.

"Braised noodles! What brings you here? I just saw a good show; even the dogs in this apocalypse have become sentient!"

Following his previous gaze, Wang Lu was stunned when he saw the absurd scene. His lips twitched, and he lightly kicked Lin Yang.

"Can't you be serious for once? Sitting here looking at this during your duty time, aren't you ashamed?!"

"No, you really should see this!"

Lin Yang hurriedly tried to explain, pointing to the corner of the wall again.

"This is really weird! That new skinny dog ​​didn't fight at all, it just 'joined' the fight!"

"You know, in this world, even animals have learned about 'cooperation and win-win' now, right, Captain Qin?"

The veins on Qin Zheng's forehead throbbed even more violently.
