Chapter 72 There's no more room!

Seeing the slightly "questioning" look in Su Yanqiu's eyes, Zhou Yan gave a dry cough and shoved the bottle of purified water in his hand into Zhuang Yan's arms.

"Drink some water!"

Then, he sat silently between the two women, not moving an inch...

Su Yanqiu didn't understand...

She didn't know yet that there was something wrong with the scent on Zhuang Yan's body...

But Su Yanqiu didn't say anything. She simply raised her hand, pressed it against Zhou Yan's chest, and pushed his entire body back against the sofa backrest so she could see Zhuang Yan.

How should one describe a woman like Zhuang Yan...

Her appearance had a delicate beauty, but her overall temperament was somewhat assertive. In this regard, she was very similar to Su Yanqiu.

Su Yanqiu had spent years independently managing a company, so she naturally possessed the aura of someone in a position of authority.

But there was no point in asking about her previous job now; even being the boss of a publicly traded company wouldn't improve their current life at all.

For Zhou Yan to have taken a liking to her, it could only be because of her ability...

It seems her ability is quite special too!

Thinking of this, Su Yanqiu felt a bit anxious inside. After all, in this room, only she, her sister, and Zhang Yajing lacked special abilities!

Although she felt a hint of anxiety, it didn't show on her face. Su Yanqiu smiled gently, took Zhuang Yan's hand, and spoke with a natural, caring tone: "Life in Building 17 must have been exhausting, right... From now on, this is your home. Drink some water... and get some good rest!"

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly: "Thank you, sister! It's all thanks to Zhou Yan today; otherwise, things would have been quite difficult for us at Building 17..."

"Although Xiao Yan seems cold at times, he is actually very soft-hearted! He is very good to those around him and can't bear to see them suffer!" Su Yanqiu's tone was natural, as if she were talking to Zhuang Yan about her own worry-free younger brother.

Zhuang Yan was stunned listening to this.

Why did she have the feeling of being on a "blind date"?

Zhou Yan remained silent, looking down at the small hands of the two women clasped together on his lap, wondering what he was thinking...

The two women, one on the left and one on the right, exchanged a glance, and a subtle spark of electricity seemed to flash through the air...

Zhuang Yan was sensitive and could perceive Su Yanqiu's assertion of "ownership" over Zhou Yan in her words. However, she wasn't in a position to challenge her, so she followed the lead and said with a hint of gratitude: "Yes! It's fortunate that Zhou Yan stepped in. He helped build a bridge and helped us deal with that group of people who broke into Building 17 to take refuge; otherwise, we probably would have been done for this time!" She sighed softly and scanned the living room, which was full of signs of life: "I really can't believe it... You guys... are actually able to live so... peacefully here..."

"In the apocalypse, finding a place of stability is not easy." Su Yanqiu patted the back of Zhuang Yan's hand gently, her tone meaningful: "Gathering together and supporting each other is better than struggling alone! You're a sensible person, sister. If you have any needs or find anything uncomfortable in the future, just let me know!"

Zhuang Yan glanced at Zhou Yan; Su Yanqiu's words were clearly the manner of a lady of the house...

Seeing that Zhou Yan was still staring fixedly at her hands, looking as if he had no objections, Zhuang Yan could only nod.

Zhuang Yan was sent to the guest bedroom to rest, while Tongtong went with Wang Zeyu and Li Meng to settle the other girls from Building 17.

On the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors, only a mother and daughter remained; everyone else had run away in advance, and it was unknown whether they had died on the way to the Warship or on the upper floors.

Su Yanqiu found an opportunity to quietly pull Zhou Yan to a quieter balcony. Outside the window, everything was dim...

"Xiao Yan..." The smile on Su Yanqiu's face faded, replaced by a trace of worry.

"I welcome Zhuang Yan coming over; there is strength in numbers... but our place is only so big. It was already a bit crowded with the four of us living here before, and now it's really..."

Zhou Yan was stunned. Indeed, the tight living space didn't just affect the quality of life; it was more likely to breed conflict, and furthermore... it was inconvenient for him!

"We can't just keep having someone sleep on the floor, right? Rotating floor-sleeping isn't good either!"

Zhou Yan rubbed his temples. He had only thought about bringing people into his home, but he had never considered the issue of living space.

Su Yanqiu lowered her voice: "My thought is, can we utilize that empty room on this floor? The one across from Zhang Yajing's..."

"I'm afraid that won't work... Zeyu and his partner are living there... They're a young couple, and it wouldn't be good if they didn't have private space for intimacy!" Zhou Yan spread his hands, saying with a wry smile.

Wang Zeyu had been eyeing that room for a long time.

"I see... Then let's find a way to see if we can fix our door? Or maybe replace it with a new one? That would be more convenient, even if it's across from the others..." Su Yanqiu said thoughtfully.

"Zhuang Yan definitely cannot live with you all!" Zhou Yan said decisively.

There was no way to solve the scent on Zhuang Yan for the time being! They had to live separately! Otherwise, Zhou Yan wouldn't be able to rest day or night!

"Then..." Su Yanqiu was a bit puzzled, but she didn't ask further.

"I'll deal with the Warship tonight; there's an issue with Zhuang Yan!"

Hearing Zhou Yan say this, Su Yanqiu didn't look very relieved. Plus, she was an ability user.

If only she had a special ability too; that way, she could help Xiao Yan manage the... "backyard" well?

She suppressed the complicated thoughts in her heart and steadied herself.

"As for the household matters, as long as you have a plan in mind, that's fine. I don't want you to worry too much about things at home; I'll arrange everything else, don't worry... But... what exactly is the problem with Zhuang Yan?" Su Yanqiu asked in a low voice.

Zhou Yan looked at Su Yanqiu's cold, beautiful face and felt a surge of emotion. In this environment, having someone to provide a stable rear base was simply too important!

Zhou Yan wrapped his arms around Su Yanqiu's waist, pulled her into his embrace, leaned close to her ear, and whispered a few words...

Su Yanqiu quickly opened her mouth in surprise, but soon, she shyly rested her face against Zhou Yan's chest...

Zhou Yan lowered his head and accurately captured Su Yanqiu's lips. Both of them could feel the other's heavy breathing and their gradually warming bodies.

After a long while, they parted. Their foreheads rested against each other, breathing slightly.

A faint flush appeared on Su Yanqiu's cheeks, looking exceptionally charming in the dim light, creating a fascinating contrast with her usual cold and aloof image.

...

In the living room, Zhang Yajing and Su Yanyue were pointing and whispering at the shadows of the two people embracing and kissing outside the curtains.

It wasn't too dark yet, and there was still some light; these thin curtains made the shadows of the two people clearly visible...

When Zhou Yan and Su Yanqiu returned to the living room from the balcony, they didn't see Bai Qi. Su Yanyue said that Bai Qi was in the guest bedroom chatting with Zhuang Yan...

Zhou Yan frowned. Bai Qi... then...

Zhou Yan opened the door to the guest bedroom. Zhuang Yan was leaning against the headboard, her complexion a bit rosier, looking as if she had recovered a little.

Bai Qi, with a flushed face and a thick mask on, was leaning close to Zhuang Yan's ear, whispering...
