Yi Yang stretched out his whole body, feeling genuinely tired after returning to a safe place: "There was a bit of an unexpected situation that caused a delay, but it's been resolved now."

Someone's stomach rumbled a few times, and Han Mingjie glanced at the two people stuck together on the sofa. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to speak up and interrupt, "Um... are you still having hot pot?"

Wenren Lei half-opened her eyes: "Eat, I'm starving! Is there anyone who doesn't eat spicy food?"

"We all love spicy food!" everyone responded in unison.

"Okay, let's have a spicy hot pot then. Brother Yan has a space where you can order whatever you want to eat, we have everything."

Han Mingjie disregarded the issue of space and called out, "I'll go call Anna and Chi Qingmo!"

Yi Yang, Cheng Nianli, and Meng Fan immediately gathered around to order food.

"I want to eat Australian Wagyu beef, lamb chop rolls, Boston lobster, and scallops."

Fu Yan waved his hand and took out the ingredients from his spatial storage and placed them on the table. He also casually put out several kinds of seafood that Wenren Lei usually liked to eat.

"I want beef balls, shrimp paste, and slices of Spanish Iberico pork shoulder!"

"Woof woof woof!"

"I want……"

Once everyone was there, they ordered the dishes one by one, and the ingredients on the coffee table were piled up like a small mountain.

Everyone rushed into the kitchen with ingredients and got busy, while Wanzi wagged her tail and joined in the fun.

In the living room, only Wenren Lei remained, slumped in Fu Yan's arms, resting with her eyes closed.

Outdoor lights illuminated the courtyard, reflecting the falling snowflakes. Laughter occasionally drifted from the kitchen. After several days of tense post-apocalyptic life, everyone had temporarily set aside their panic and fear, finding peace in a quiet corner of the cold night.

Wenren Lei's lips curled into a smile: "Brother Yan, sometimes humans need some beautiful illusions, right?"

"Aww."

"Let them get ready, we're going to take a shower."

"Aww."

Fu Yan picked up Wenren Lei and carried her upstairs.

Wenren Lei washed the crystal cores clean, gave five to Wanzi, and presented the remaining twelve to Fu Yan: "Eat them."

Fu Yan swallowed the crystal core as instructed, and Wenren Lei stared at him anxiously: "How are you feeling?"

Fu Yan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a painful growl and desperately tore the gauze off his face.

Wenren Lei grabbed Fu Yan's hand: "Bear with it, don't hurt yourself."

Fu Yan had already torn a slit in the gauze, and Wenren Lei was stunned when she saw the skin under the gauze.

New skin has grown on the half of my face that was originally scabbed over.

Once Fu Yan stopped agitating, Wenren Lei carefully untied the gauze from his head, peeling it off layer by layer.

When all the gauze was removed, Wenrenlei gasped in surprise.

Fu Yan's face has been completely restored. The bluish-gray on his skin has disappeared, replaced by a radiant, fair complexion. His facial features are even more refined and handsome, and his blood-red eyes make him look like a bewitching vampire count.

Wenren Lei was stunned for two seconds, then chuckled softly, "This is really going to be a disaster."

He admitted that he had been lustful at first sight.

"Let's go to the bathroom, okay?" He tugged at Fu Yan's loose sleeve.

"Woof?" Maruko, who was locked out of the bathroom, raised his little paws and scratched at the door, but no one paid any attention to him.

An hour later, Maruko was already asleep on the sofa.

Fu Yan carried Wenren Lei out of the bathroom with one arm. His right palm felt like it had been scalded by lava, his whole body was stiff, and he was so awkward that he couldn't walk.

Wenren Lei buried her face in the crook of his neck, her voice tinged with relaxed weariness: "You haven't even done anything real to me yet, why are you so shy?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Fu Yan's body stiffened even more.

He walked slowly and deliberately, taking three minutes to reach the bedside. He gently put down Wenrenlei, turned his back, and stood ramrod straight, like a soldier on guard duty.

Wenren Lei lay on her side, propping her head up and laughing, condensing small water balls at her fingertips and flicking them onto Fu Yan's back.

Seeing that Fu Yan remained unmoved, he said, "You're such a hypocrite. If you don't come up, I'm going to hold onto the meatballs."

Fu Yan remained unmoved.

Wenren Lei called out loudly, "Wanzi, come here!"

Maruko, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes, leaped up, and like a small cannonball, burrowed into Wenren Lei's arms.

Fu Yan turned around abruptly, looking at Wanzi with eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Maruko poked half of its little head out from Wenren Lei's arms, barking confidently, "Woof!"

"Huh?"

"Woof!"

"Huh??"

Wenren Lei watched the corpse and the dog facing off and almost died laughing.

Fu Yan got anxious, grabbed the meatballs and threw them onto the sofa, then climbed onto the bed and lay down.

Maruko, sprawled on her back with her short legs kicking wildly, struggled to stand up, bared her teeth at Fu Yan, but instantly backed down when she met his gaze, shrinking back onto the sofa and pretending to be asleep.

Wenren Lei sat up with a smile and took Fu Yan's severed arm: "Let me see."

Fu Yan carefully raised his arm, waiting for Wenren Lei to remove the gauze. Once the gauze was completely removed, the severed arm grew back a bit and would soon reach the length of his wrist.

Wenren Lei used a cotton ball soaked in alcohol to wipe the cut, and then rewrapped the gauze. Only then did she realize that Fu Yan's right hand had been pinching her calf muscles, and he was doing so very seriously.

"You have a sense of touch now?"

Fu Yan didn't yell; he kneaded with great focus, one stroke at a time.

It seems to have developed a sense of touch.

Wenren Lei simply gave up, sprawling on the bed and following Fu Yan: "Is it soft?"

"Aww..."

"How does it feel?"

"Aww..."

Hearing that people are both moved to tears and want to laugh, perhaps it won't be long before the dormant grandeur is awakened.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her leg and sat up abruptly, clutching her waistband: "It's not Brother Yan, don't pull down my pants."

Fu Yan looked at Wenren Lei very seriously and moved his hand away.

"Sizzle—"

Wenren Lei's pants were completely torn. He was both amused and exasperated: "I wasn't told I could pull them off, but I wasn't told I could tear them! Wasn't your thing asleep? Why are you pulling them off? It's cold in the room!"

Fu Yan ignored him and began to pinch his thigh earnestly.

Wenren Lei: ...

It was really cold, so Wenren Lei pulled the blanket up and covered her legs and Fu Yan with it: "Phew, much warmer now."

Fu Yan's massage wasn't too forceful, and it felt quite comfortable. Wenren Lei was starting to feel drowsy.

Because she was thinking about going downstairs to eat hot pot later, Wenrenlei didn't close her bedroom door.

"Boss, the hot pot is ready," Yi Yang called from the bedroom door.

Wenren Lei, half-asleep and half-awake, softly uttered an "Mmm..."

Hearing the noise, Yi Yang thought he had a fever again, so he poked his head in and said, "Boss, are you okay... Holy crap!!!"

Wenrenlei woke up and opened her eyes abruptly. She saw Yi Yang standing at the door with a look of disbelief. Looking down, she saw that there was clearly someone in her blanket, and the blanket was moving.

"No." Wenren Lei raised a hand. "Listen to me."

"It's nothing! I didn't see anything! Sorry to bother you!" Yi Yang turned to run away.

Wenren Lei jumped out of bed, determined to explain: "It's really not what you think!"

Yi Yang yelled even louder: "Holy crap!!!! I'm leaving first!!"

Wenren Lei was completely bewildered. He looked down and exclaimed, "Holy crap, I'm still in neutral!"

"My lifelong reputation is completely ruined."

Wenren Lei closed her eyes, looked at Fu Yan, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fu... Yan!"

"Huh?"
