325: She said she would support me

Jiang Fei followed the scent to the kitchen next door.

Lu Yu sat in a wheelchair, his left leg resting on the raised footrest.

He was cooking noodles at the stove.

His head was slightly bowed, the contours of his side profile were sharp and distinct, and his long black hair fell across his forehead, yet it didn't obscure his handsome eyes and brows.

He was as gentle and noble as she remembered, making it impossible to look away, and also calming Jiang Fei's heart.

She wasn't a person who didn't understand emotions.

After experiencing this loss, she understood that her feelings for Lu Yu were more than just camaraderie.

She just didn't know when Lu Yu's name had settled squarely in her heart.

By the time she realized it, it had already taken root and sprouted.

She used to think that survival was paramount in the apocalypse, and romance was something for after the apocalypse.

Perhaps it would never concern her in this lifetime.

But if that person was Lu Yu...

She kind of wanted to try.

Sensing someone watching him, Lu Yu looked up.

Seeing it was Jiang Fei, he instinctively smiled: "I made breakfast."

"I can still cook instant noodles."

Jiang Fei walked forward and took over Lu Yu's noodle-cooking duties: "Why didn't you rest more?"

"My body felt a bit stiff from lying down too long. Just as Su Liuyuan came to see me, I asked him to go to the Supermarket warehouse to find a wheelchair for me."

"I was just sitting around anyway, so I used instant noodles and eggs to make noodles for everyone."

The truth was, Lu Yu woke up and wanted to use the restroom.

His neighbor had been busy for a day and a night and was very tired, so he didn't want to wake her up.

Moreover, such a thing was inconvenient.

So he secretly untied the ropes and crawled out.

This was to avoid the noise of him limping, which might wake his neighbor.

Coincidentally, he met Su Liuyuan, who had just woken up and come out, so he asked him to help find a wheelchair.

Afraid Jiang Fei would worry, Lu Yu pulled up his loose pant leg, revealing the injury on his right leg.

"Look, my wound healed very quickly after applying the miraculous ointment. The stitches can be removed in a day or two."

"My left ankle is half-swollen, it doesn't look like a bun anymore."

Jiang Fei turned off the stove and squatted down to check Lu Yu's injuries.

Indeed, as he said, it was healing very quickly.

His teammate's physical fitness was impressive.

"Even if the wound heals and your ankle is completely deswollen, you still need to rest for a while."

Jiang Fei looked at Lu Yu and said seriously:

"Don't take risks again in the future, and don't disappear suddenly. I'll worry and be scared."

"Actually, you don't have to do anything. I can take care of you."

Lu Yu's heart pounded faster, and a flush crept up his ears.

His neighbor said she would take care of him... Was it because of their teammate relationship, or something else...? He wanted to ask Jiang Fei, but he was afraid of bothering her.

After all, his neighbor had rejected Mu Qingzhou, saying she didn't want to be in a relationship.

In this moment of hesitation, Su Liuyuan, Ling Zhaorui, and Xiao Chuxia came in.

"I smelled instant noodles outside just now and thought it was Su Liuyuan and the others making them, but it turns out Miss, you're cooking noodles."

Su Liuyuan: "This smell, I bet it's braised beef."

Ling Zhaorui: "Brother Lu's legs are inconvenient, so let's eat in the kitchen today."

With the gossip trio present, Lu Yu swallowed the words he was about to say and reached for the bowls and chopsticks.

"I'll help you serve the noodles."

"No need, just rest easy."

Jiang Fei took the bowls and chopsticks from Lu Yu's hand and served noodles to everyone.

One bowl per person, plus a poached egg.

After eating, Jiang Fei brought out a set of loose black sportswear and a new set of thermal clothing.

Lu Yu could change his clothes himself, controlling the wheelchair to return to his room to change.

Jiang Fei checked Su Liuyuan's injuries.

They were mostly healed.

The miraculous ointment from the Supermarket was indeed amazing.

Unfortunately, it was all used up.

Hopefully, she could get it again next time.

After Lu Yu changed his clothes, Jiang Fei led them out of the Supermarket, preparing to go to the Black Night Gang.

Only then did she realize it was already a new day.

Today was spring, the sun was bright outside the window, and all the ice and snow on the ground had melted.

The plants that had withered two days ago were growing again.

Jiang Fei couldn't help but ask: "How long did I sleep?"

Su Liuyuan: "A full 24 hours. Lu Yu said you've been too tired lately and haven't had a good night's sleep since the tsunami, so none of us woke you up."

No wonder she had eaten two big bowls of instant noodles just now.

She hadn't eaten for a whole day.

After putting the belongings of 301 and 302 into the Supermarket warehouse, Jiang Fei sent Lu Yu back to the Supermarket.

His teammate was in a regular wheelchair, which required people to carry him up and down stairs.

Putting him in the Supermarket saved them the trouble of carrying him.

Going downstairs, Jiang Fei found an empty spot, took out a commercial van, brought Lu Yu out again, and drove towards the Black Night Gang.

It was working hours, and Wu Dayong and Wu Xiaowei were patrolling the entrance and exit with guns.

Jiang Fei rolled down the car window and greeted the two of them.

The car window didn't have privacy film, so Wu Xiaowei saw Lu Yu in a wheelchair and Ling Zhaorui wearing a brace on his arm, and looked shocked:

"Miss Jiang, who attacked them?"

Jiang Fei: "They accidentally injured themselves."

"Is Sister Lu at the gang?"

"Yes, I'll take you to see her."

Wu Xiaowei got in the car and gave Jiang Fei directions.

Upon arriving at Sister Lu's residence, Jiang Fei and Wu Xiaowei got out of the car.

Lu Yu and the others remained in the car.

"Sister Jiang!"

As soon as Sister Lu saw Jiang Fei, she immediately put down what she was holding and walked over:

"Why didn't you come back the night before last?"

"I sent people to the Tube Building to look for you, but you weren't home either."

Jiang Fei briefly explained: "My friends were ambushed and injured the day before yesterday, and I was outside taking care of them."

Sister Lu frowned: "Is it serious? I have anti-inflammatory medicine and fever reducers here; take some back with you."

"Tell me who bullied your friends, and I'll take people to kill them right now."

"No need, I have medicine, and my friends have already dealt with those people," Jiang Fei apologized to her:

"I'm sorry, Sister Lu, I broke our appointment the day before yesterday."

"What's there to apologize for over such a small matter?" Sister Lu waved her hand, indicating for Jiang Fei not to dwell on it.

"I'll host another celebration banquet tonight, also to celebrate your joining the Black Night Gang."

"You and your friends go rest first; I'll send someone to pick you up for dinner tonight."

"Xiaowei, take the key and send my sister to the house I arranged for her."

"If she needs anything, just go to the warehouse and get it."

Wu Xiaowei: "Okay, Big Sister."

Jiang Fei left with Wu Xiaowei.

They drove to a house on the south side of the Black Night Gang.

It was a two-story brick house with a courtyard.

The courtyard wall was built very high, so there was no need to worry about anyone climbing in.

There were no other survivors living nearby; it was both secluded and quiet, and Jiang Fei was very satisfied.

"Big Sister was afraid you wouldn't like noise, so she arranged you here, ensuring that no one will disturb you normally."

Saying that, Wu Xiaowei unlocked the main gate with a key and led Jiang Fei and the others into the brick house.

Solar panels were installed on the roof for power.

The interior decoration was very simple; the walls were painted white, and the floor was paved with flagstones.

The first floor had a living room, a kitchen, and three rooms with en-suite bathrooms.

The second floor only had three rooms.

But the rooms were larger than those downstairs.

Each room not only had air conditioning, but the windows were also fitted with heat-insulating film.

In addition, each bathroom had a set of toiletries.

This included feminine hygiene products like sanitary pads and heat patches.

Sister Lu was truly thoughtful.

Wu Xiaowei: "Miss Jiang, the Black Night Gang has 24-hour water supply, but the water flow is a bit weak."

"If you need to shower or wash your hair, remember to fill a basin beforehand."

"See if you need anything; I'll go to the warehouse to get it later."

Jiang Fei: "We don't lack anything; we have luggage in the trunk."

"Then I'll go back to work; see you tonight."

Wu Xiaowei gave Jiang Fei the key and left.

Lu Yu couldn't climb stairs now, so Jiang Fei gave him, Su Liuyuan, and Ling Zhaorui the rooms on the first floor.

One room per person.

She and Xiao Chuxia would live on the second floor.

The extra room was converted for Big Yellow and Little Black.

This way, she could take the two cubs out for some fresh air when she had time.

Jiang Fei took out the refrigerator, vegetables, fruits, drinks, generator, bedding sets, and other supplies, and began to tidy up their new home.

Lu Yu originally wanted to help with some light tasks but was refused by Jiang Fei.

"You're injured, so just sit there and don't move around."

Jiang Fei took out a cup of iced milk tea and handed it to Lu Yu, telling him not to disturb her while she worked.

Su Liuyuan, passing by, saw this scene and playfully teased Lu Yu:

"Captain is looking down on you, huh?"

Lu Yu's lips curved slightly: "Do you have iced milk tea?"

Su Liuyuan: "...?"

Why did it feel like his brother was showing off to him???

"Captain! I want milk tea too!"

Jiang Fei took out a cup of milk tea for Su Liuyuan.

Then she took out two more cups and gave them to Ling Zhaorui and Xiao Chuxia.

Su Liuyuan smugly boasted to Lu Yu: "I have iced milk tea now too."

Lu Yu said meaningfully: "It's not the same."

He got the first cup!
