Chapter 62 Touch me if you want

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yan was dragged into the guest bedroom by Zhang Yajing, looking completely bewildered.

Su Yanyue saw it and pouted, but quickly picked up her rice bowl under the death stare of her sister, Su Yanqiu...

...

"Can you come back tonight?"

Looking at the watery gaze of the woman before him, Zhou Yan couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Too many women isn't necessarily a good thing...

He still had to balance everything evenly...

He hadn't originally planned to stay in Building 17 for long.

First, to have Zhuang Yan help him control the merfolk to come ashore and kill all the merfolk in the surrounding water first!

Second, to wait for nightfall!

Once it was dark, Zhou Yan could go anywhere!

The sky was only overcast right now. Zhou Yan had just experimented and found that energy consumption in overcast conditions was even more terrifying than usual.

Although the darkness outside could be considered the shadow of "clouds," it was inevitable that some sunlight would still scatter through.

It was very exhausting!

So he had no choice but to wait for nightfall!

After dark, he would use his [Shadow] ability to board that Warship and investigate!

Zhou Yan: "I'll come back to find you tonight..."

Zhang Yajing wrapped her arms around Zhou Yan's neck and kissed him for a long time.

Only when Su Yanqiu came over to open the door did Zhou Yan let go of the softness in his mouth.

"You should take the walkie-talkie, right?" Su Yanqiu said generously, taking out the walkie-talkie and sitting on the edge of the bed, watching the two of them embracing.

Zhang Yajing was a bit shy. Although they were already very "familiar" with each other, being seen by Su Yanqiu still gave her a sense of illicit "cheating."

She could only bury her head in Zhou Yan's chest.

Zhang Yajing's face was already beet red.

"How could you touch me in front of Sister Yanqiu..."

Zhou Yan didn't mind: "No need. Keep the walkie-talkie. I'll arrange for someone in Building 17 to watch our window. If something happens, just open the curtains—it'll be faster than the walkie-talkie!"

After saying this, he gave a heavy squeeze before letting go of the delicate body in his arms that had already softened into a puddle of mud.

"Take good care of them... everything at home is in your hands now!" Zhou Yan gently stroked Su Yanqiu's cheek.

"Mm!"

...

In Building 17, Zhuang Yan was pulling a long face, looking with distress at the "design sketch" in front of her.

Her original plan was to make a simple "floating device," regardless of whether it could be used to leave this place.

Even if it was just used to trade supplies between the nearby residential buildings, that would be good!

However, their combat strength was truly worrying...

With just the few young girls in this building, which residential building could they possibly go to and win a fight?

Not only would the supplies they brought for trading be stolen, but it was hard to say if the person would even make it back!

Now, it was just a matter of seeing if Zhou Yan was a person with a conscience...

If he had some conscience, her days might get a little easier, and it wouldn't be hard for her to look after the girls in Building 17 while she was at it...

But if he was the type to pull up his pants and deny everything...

"Who's there!"

Lost in thought, Zhuang Yan stood up abruptly.

It felt like someone had just pinched her butt!

Zhuang Yan anxiously scanned every corner of the room...

Her own home... was it haunted?!

Seeing Zhuang Yan scared pale and bloodless, Zhou Yan didn't dare to tease her any further.

Watching Zhou Yan emerge from the shadows, Zhuang Yan was surprised, but she was unusually well-behaved and didn't ask any questions.

"Why did you come back?" Zhuang Yan looked at Zhou Yan, puzzled.

She had really thought he was the type to pull up his pants and deny everything!

"To help me with something. I need you right now..."

"How?"

...

6th Floor corridor,

Zhuang Yan sat on a stool brought by her "younger sister," continuously controlling the merfolk in the water to climb toward the 6th Floor window...

"Seven!"

"Eight!"

"Twelve!"

"Fifteen!"

Zhou Yan squatted at the window, holding a dagger in one hand and wearing a glove on the other.

He stabbed them to death with his left hand, felt them with his right, and then pushed them back into the water...

However, after feeling the fifteenth [super blind box], no more merfolk took the bait...

Turning around,

Zhuang Yan's pretty face was pale, and her lips were completely bloodless...

Her eyes were unfocused, looking as if she had been "drained dry" by Zhou Yan...

She had collapsed from exhaustion...

Strictly speaking, the mysterious energy in her mind had been completely exhausted; she was overdrawn!

Seeing Zhuang Yan's miserable expression, Zhou Yan warned himself to be careful!

Because in all likelihood, if Zhou Yan were to overdraw his [Shadow] ability, the situation would probably be the same as hers!

He bent down and carried Zhuang Yan in a princess carry back to the home of her loyal "younger sister."

He placed Zhuang Yan on the first-floor sofa and breathed a sigh of relief only after she was settled.

Looking at the girl standing at the doorway, cautious and wearing a mask, staring fixedly at him, Zhou Yan felt she looked very familiar...

It seemed he had seen her before at the window, leading those girls to fight against the mutated fish...

Oh!

Zhou Yan remembered!

She was that girl who was being kept here!

"Is this... your home?" Zhou Yan asked, reaching out and pointing at the pink room decorated with a girlish aesthetic.

The girl didn't speak; she just looked nervously at Zhou Yan and nodded.

She was wearing a relatively "conservative" panda-style pajama set, black and white.

She stood pressed tightly against the door, as if afraid that Zhou Yan would close the door and do something bad...

"Quite cold and aloof..." Zhou Yan was a bit speechless.

After all, it seemed that everything that should have happened—and everything that shouldn't have—had already happened between him and Zhuang Yan...

What was she staring at him for!

He looked at the weather outside the window; the heavy rain continued...

But it would probably be a while before it got dark...

"I asked you to help me find a few people to watch the 11th Floor of Building 16 earlier..."

"I'm watching it..."

"Mm... once the curtains at the window..."

"Are opened, I'll call you. I remember!"

Zhou Yan was completely choked up.

For a moment, he couldn't describe the feeling; it was as if she had a very efficient, no-nonsense way of doing things.

But there was also a feeling that he was being targeted by her...

Zhou Yan stood up, tilted his head, and smiled at the girl in front of him.

"Girls should speak more gently... you know that, right?"

Seeing the glint of malice hidden deep in Zhou Yan's eyes, the girl shivered and stared blankly at Zhou Yan; she seemed to have been scared silly...

She was clearly the reinforcements brought in by Zhuang Yan, so why did it feel like the way she looked at him made him seem like the bad guy?

Looking at the sofa, Zhuang Yan's cheeks had already regained a bit of color.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her fair, alluring cheek...

"What are you doing!" the girl shouted loudly.

Zhou Yan was annoyed.

Seeing Zhou Yan reach behind his back, she didn't know what he would pull out, but it was definitely some kind of weapon.

"Tongtong! It's okay!"

Zhuang Yan hurriedly pulled her hand out from under the blanket and gripped Zhou Yan's hand tightly, not letting him pull out the weapon...

Then, with effort, she raised their joined hands and shook them in the air...

Signaling that her relationship with Zhou Yan was "not ordinary."

The girl named Tongtong then stood back outside the door, watching the situation...

If Zhou Yan had made any other move just now, she probably would have pounced on him!

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes, sizing up the girl in front of him.
