"Are you alright?"

Zhuang Dafei shook his head resolutely, but the fear in his eyes persisted.

Lin Mo wanted to comfort her, but when he reached out, she hugged him tightly.

"I thought we were going to die here, boohoo..."

Zhuang Dafei cried loudly, as if trying to bring out all the bitter fear hidden in his heart.

Lin Mo patted her on the back and listened quietly as she cried and spoke.

"I've been living in this neighborhood for a while now."

Usually, it's the people downstairs who either cook for me or order takeout and have it delivered to me.

I've never even used gas.

To my surprise... as soon as it was opened, the fire shot up wildly and cracked the pot.

I mustered my courage and managed to put out the fire as it continued to rise.

I'm so scared...

Zhuang Dafei held her tightly; at that moment, she was just a helpless little girl.

"Okay, okay, it's alright now."

Lin Mo gently comforted Zhuang Dafei for a while, and Zhuang Dafei calmed down while still sobbing.

The air suddenly became quiet, and Zhuang Dafei forcefully broke free from Lin Mo's embrace.

This girl, who was like a hedgehog, had been very guarded ever since she met Lin Mo.

If Lin Mo hadn't taken care of her and raised her favorability rating to 75, she wouldn't have hugged herself when she was emotional.

Lin Mo smiled but didn't say anything.

"Look, do you want to clean the room? I'll go check the kitchen, see if there's anything that can be fixed."

Zhuang Dafei nodded quietly, a blush appearing on his cheeks.

The entire stove is no longer usable. Not only are the walls blackened by the fire, but the range hood is also deformed.

Fortunately, no explosion occurred, and the fire did not escalate further; otherwise, Lin Mo would probably have been reborn into another world in a nightmare.

He glanced at the range hood, realized it couldn't be removed, and then ignored it.

He turned around and tightened the gas cylinder. For Zhuang Dafei, using gas was still too dangerous.

After leaving everything affected by the disaster at the door, Lin Mo realized that the food he had brought was almost all used up.

Zhuang Dafei probably hasn't gone downstairs for the past three days, which is why the food in the refrigerator hasn't been replenished.

He glanced at the room with the door wide open, where a beautiful figure was swinging her white legs, also busy at work.

A room that has housed two patients needs to be cleaned properly, since they can't leave here anytime soon.

"Hello, 502, please get a nucleic acid test."

The entire neighborhood was affected because of Zhuang Dafei's team.

Although no one expected this, the volunteers did not allow those under close observation to go to the open space in the community to do nucleic acid testing with others.

Instead, they will visit your home individually to minimize the risk as much as possible.

"Wait a moment."

After calling out, Lin Mo gave a look into the room.

In a panic, Zhuang Dafei put on sunglasses, a mask, and changed into decent clothes before leaving the room.

Since Zhuang Dafei was wearing clothes underneath, he wasn't worried about Lin Mo seeing him at all.

After confirming that the other party had no problems, Lin Mo opened the door.

"Hey bro, are you all better? Looks like the chances of the other people in your room getting infected have decreased a bit."

"Your wife opened the door for the past few days. When she said you were sick, I thought she was asymptomatic, but the test results were normal."

Now that you're awake, it probably isn't pneumonia.

The two volunteers chatted back and forth, probably because they were also getting a little bored in isolation, and they were talking much more than before.

When they took Zhuang Dafei's nucleic acid test, they didn't notice anything wrong. It seemed that Zhuang Dafei always covered his face very well when he appeared, so it was normal that they couldn't recognize him.

After Lin Mo finished the test, he asked, "Can I still buy vegetables now?"

The tall volunteer nodded and said, "Yes, there are some, but probably not many."

The fresh produce was sold out by the elderly residents of the neighborhood as early as 6 or 7 a.m.

By 7 or 8 o'clock, the second batch of ingredients had been almost sold out by the parents.

I estimate that this will include some fruits and vegetables that don't look very appealing.

The short man seemed to see through Lin Mo's thoughts and said, "You haven't received any supplies these past few days. I'll get you some milk and bread later, so you won't go hungry."

"Thank you, but... I'd prefer fresh ingredients."

After the short man put the bottle down, he said, "Take a look. If you have any, I'll bring them to you."

If all else fails, you two can wait one day and go to the supermarket early tomorrow.

"OK, thanks."

After the volunteers left, Lin Mo saw Zhuang Dafei under her mask; her cheeks were rosy, making her look very cute and alluring.

"You have a fever again?"

Zhuang Dafei shook his head, said nothing, and went back into the room.

Lin Mo hesitated at the door, but in the end, instead of obediently waiting for the volunteers to return, he put on protective clothing and took the trash out of his house.

Only after the door closed did Zhuang Dafei, whose heart was pounding, peek out.

"Wife? Husband and wife?"

The mere thought of these words made the pretty girl incredibly embarrassed.

Even if she were an actress, at her current age, most of the roles she could get would be student-like.

Even if they have some vague fantasies about love, there won't be any intimate actions in the drama.

In her heart, a seed of longing for love still remained.

"Wife?"

Zhuang Dafei murmured again, then smiled and began washing Lin Mo's and her own clothes, including sheets and pillowcases, in batches.

This room, which is always dimly lit, seems to be bathed in sunlight.

As Lin Mo walked out of Unit 3, he saw the masked man on the first floor with a sly look in his eyes.

When the other person saw Lin Mo come downstairs, they quickly hid behind the curtains, like a cockroach hiding in the shadows.

Soon, Lin Mo saw two volunteers who were still busy in the community.

Just as Lin Mo had expected, whether or not one gets to eat still depends on oneself.

After greeting the two men, he headed towards the only open supermarket in the neighborhood.

Currently, only this supermarket delivers supplies, ensuring that residents' basic needs are met.

Instant noodles, fresh meat, and fruits and vegetables are the top items that residents of the community are scrambling to buy.

Leaving aside instant noodles, even on ordinary days, fresh meat and fruits and vegetables are the first choice for every grocery shopper.

Long lines formed at both checkout counters in the supermarket, and everyone was wearing a mask. It seemed that the long, boring hours had left their mouths dry, and they needed some junk food to refresh themselves.

Lin Mo stopped next to the refrigerator and looked at the frozen food inside.

While it's not exactly fresh, it might be quite good for hot pot after thawing.
