Luo Ning was somewhat moved, and suddenly asked a really stupid question.

"If I and your male lead both fell into the water, who would you save?"

"Save the host!" 123 said without hesitation.

Luo Ning beamed and picked up 123. "If you had to choose between me and your male lead, you'd choose me, right?"

"123 will definitely choose the host," 123 answered loudly.

The host will drill small beads for it, cook delicious food for it, and play with it. It is the closest person to 123 in this world, and it will always stand on the host's side.

Luo Ning hugged 123 and kissed him passionately, her eyes slightly moist.

Since her parents passed away, no one has stood by her side so unconditionally.

Ten years into the apocalypse, she had killed countless zombies and humans, and she thought she had long since stopped caring about anyone's steadfast relationships and love.

But now she knows she still cares.

Xiao Jie stood in the passageway outside the door, without stepping into the house.

She angrily carried 123 into the house, and he doesn't know if he should go in or not.

Standing outside and looking around her home, there was a foyer cabinet on the right with a bottle of snow willow on it, and further in was a bathroom. Beyond the bathroom was the staircase leading to the second floor.

The kitchen is on the left, and there is a dining table near the balcony. The living room and balcony are connected without any partition, and there are some flowers and plants on the balcony.

The whole house is clean and bright, with a natural wood style and a warm yellow color scheme, creating a warm and bright atmosphere. There are quirky paintings on the walls and cute toys in the corners.

124 and 125 had already turned on the TV and started watching themselves. The sound of Armor Heroes filled the room, making it feel very lively.

This house was just like the home he had imagined, but he didn't dare to go inside.

Luo Ning had a smile on her face when she carried 123 out.

Seeing Xiao Jie standing awkwardly at the door, just like the first time 124 came home.

Luo Ning found him much more agreeable. As long as he didn't cause trouble, she would let him live well for the sake of 123.

"Come in!"

Luo Ning sat on the sofa and picked up a cat and a dog.

"It was agreed that we'd deduct a week's worth of TV time. Who gave you permission to turn it on?"

124 and 125 immediately started to act cute towards her, watching her for a while and then for a while longer.

"No, you two are disobedient and must be punished."

124 and 125 turned to look at 123, but 123 looked away. The host had just agreed to it.

You can watch it secretly on a tablet, but you can't let the two of them know.

After Luo Ning finished disciplining the cats and dogs, Xiao Jie was still standing at the door.

She frowned at him. "You don't want to come in? Then go downstairs and find a room to stay in."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Jie went into the house and closed the door behind him.

"My shoes are a bit dirty. Do you have any clean shoes at home?"

Xiao Jie was somewhat annoyed; he should have collected some daily necessities when he returned.

He was seriously injured, and after treatment he didn't change his clothes or take a bath for a long time. He is very dirty now.

She suddenly felt a little shy; he was standing so close to her.

She must have smelled his scent.

Luo Ning glanced at his tattered clothes, on which dried bloodstains were still visible.

After Ji Zhoubai finished treating the patient, he didn't even offer to find the patient a change of clothes. Wasn't he afraid of getting infected?

He rummaged through the stairwell and found a men's suit and a pair of slippers for Xiao Jie.

Fortunately, she wasn't picky when collecting supplies and collected a little bit of everything.

"Go and tidy up the bathroom yourself."

Luo Ning saw that his injuries had mostly healed; the wounds that were originally deep enough to expose the bone had now scabbed over.

It must be admitted that Ji Zhoubai is quite skilled; such medical expertise would have required at least a fifth-tier water-type ability user in his previous life.

Xiao Jie changed his shoes outside the door before going into the bathroom.

124 and 125 looked at him with dissatisfaction; that was their toilet. Luo Ning patted their heads.

"Alright, you guys don't like using the bathroom anyway."

As soon as the two kids came back, she taught them how to use the toilet.

124 is okay, but I dare not use 125 at all; I mostly use cat litter.

The thought that he had actually entered her house made Xiao Jie's heart flutter.

Back in school, he didn't even have the courage to talk to her.

Most of the time, I could only secretly watch her from behind.

And since she let him into the house, does that mean she doesn't dislike him that much?

Will he be able to go home with her again next time?

He needs to perform well and then act even more pitiful later.

He was homeless in the apocalypse; if he behaved well, she would probably take him in.

After taking a shower, I changed into the clothes Luo Ning had given me.

Xiao Jie came out with his hair still wet.

When Luo Ning looked up, she saw that he was wearing a black shirt and black casual pants, and his hair was still dripping wet.

There were drops of sweat stains on his black shirt. He had just taken a shower, and the steam made his eyes red. His skin was still fair, but his lips were very red.

Luo Ning thought to herself, "Holy crap!" She had to admit that the male lead in the 123 series was quite handsome. In her two lifetimes, she had never seen a man who was this good-looking.

If it weren't for the apocalypse, where he wouldn't threaten her resources, she would have tasted the saltiness.

What are the three essentials for retirement? Travel, funds, and a handsome young man.

"Male lead, why don't you dry your hair? It's bad for your health." 123 suddenly spoke up, interrupting Luo Ning's wicked thoughts.

She even considered breaking his legs and confining him to his home—what were the chances of that?

A dark glint flashed in Xiao Jie's eyes. He hadn't dared to appear in front of her before, but now that she had let him into her home, he would do everything he could to stay.

"I can't find a hairdryer."

123 skipped and hopped to get Xiao Jie a hairdryer. Luo Ning coughed lightly and looked away.

Xiao Jie dried his hair and walked up to Luo Ning.

"I am Xiao Jie."

His voice held a nervousness only he knew, and he finally told her his name.

Luo Ning remained seated and simply said, "Luo Ning."

"I know you."

"You know?"

Xiao Jie clenched his fist. "Yes, we went to the same university. I've seen you before."

Luo Ning put down the tablet and stood up, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"We were schoolmates before? How come I've never seen you before?"

After the apocalypse, apart from Zhou Yu and Li Xue, she rarely saw any of her former acquaintances.

She also forced herself to forget the peaceful life before the apocalypse and just kept her head down and tried her best to live.

"We're not in the same class, and I rarely show up at school, so you probably haven't seen me before."

Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out that introducing himself to her wasn't so difficult after all.

Luo Ning's wariness of Xiao Jie lessened somewhat. "I see. What a coincidence. Hello, I'm Luo Ning."

"Yes, thank you for saving me. I will..."

"We'll talk about the future later. Since we're old classmates, we can help each other out in this apocalypse. You can stay at my house for now."

Luo Ning was afraid that he would make a fuss about moving out, and that it was so dangerous outside now, what if he accidentally died one day?

What if her 123 also disappears?

Xiao Jie's eyes lit up. "You're really willing to take me in?"

"Okay, you can stay here for now." Luo Ning nodded.
