156: : You're so foul-mouthed, you even dared to mess with Brother Sen.

Ma Bufan slapped his thigh and laughed unkindly, "My Sister Nan is humorous; one retort made Brother Sen's face turn green."

"Do you want to die?" Guan Xiaoning immediately covered Ma Bufan's mouth. This guy was good in every way except for being too much of a hothead, daring to say anything. He actually dared to joke about Brother Sen, whom even the zombies were afraid of; he must really be tired of living.

On that end, Si Nan had already hung up the phone. Luo Sen's peripheral vision suddenly shifted toward Ma Bufan.

*Thump!* Ma Bufan, in the back seat, immediately knelt down to Luo Sen. "Brother Sen, I was wrong."

Song Yuan and Guan Xiaoning: "—"

Hahaha, serves you right for your big mouth, daring to provoke Brother Sen.

When they returned to the villa, Luo Sen looked at the ground destroyed by grenades, his gray-blue eyes suddenly tightening. With a "swoosh," he swept past Song Yuan and the others, moving much faster than Song Yuan.

Luo Sen ran to Si Nan in one breath, grabbing her arms with both hands to check her over in a panic. "Where are you hurt?"

Si Nan stood still, watching his frantic behavior expressionlessly. Only after he finished fussing did she speak up, "Where is your wit and courage? If I were hurt, would I still be standing here? Tell me about your results from going out today."

"Wait, I'm still angry. Get lost."

*Slap!* Luo Sen dominantly pulled Si Nan into his arms, his tone filled with immense self-reproach. "If anything happened to you, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

Si Nan clearly felt Luo Sen's unease. Only then did she realize he was truly terrified. All her anger vanished instantly, and she hugged him back:

"Alright, it's no big deal. Don't you see who I am? I'm Si Nan. Just a few petty thieves; I settled them in a few moves. Go wash your hands and eat."

"Whose people were they?" Luo Sen asked, his question completely unrelated to her previous words.

Si Nan didn't answer him immediately but pushed him toward the bathroom. "Go wash your hands first. I'll tell everyone once we sit down to eat."

"Okay." Luo Sen walked toward the bathroom reluctantly.

When he came out again, the table was already covered with good dishes, as well as beer and drinks. Song Yuan was happily cuddling his son in the inner room. "Wife, you've worked hard—"

Mei Xue needed to rest, so Song Yuan carried their son out to eat.

Seeing the soft and squishy little baby, Luo Sen was extremely envious: Where was his and Nan Nan's Child? He couldn't help but look at Si Nan's belly—he had to work hard, he must work hard!

"Ahem, today is a good day. Cheers, everyone." Little did he know that Si Nan, who was beside him, felt her hair stand on end from that look. What kind of gaze was that? It felt quite dangerous.

"Cheers! Congratulations, Big Brother Song. Let us share in the joy too." Ma Bufan and Guan Xiaoning raised their glasses together; as long as there was good food, they were happy.

They seemed like a happy family, but after Bai Zichuan recounted the details of the enemy's attack, no one could laugh anymore.

Luo Sen said, "From now on, when I'm here, Ma Bufan and Guan Xiaoning will come out with me to search for supplies. Song Yuan and Bai Zichuan, you two guard the house."

Si Nan shook her head. "This is far from enough. I've thought about it; a situation like today's will happen again. There are many wealthy people, and rich folks with helicopters are even more common."

"Yunshu Mountain Villa is a sanctuary that many rich people dream of. Moreover, Huangfu Qiankun already exposed it long ago just to show off. The existence of Yunshu Mountain Villa is something all those wealthy people know about."

"If we want to defend it, we must take measures to ensure that even helicopters cannot enter our living area."

Luo Sen's eyes lit up, and he looked at Si Nan with a smile. "Just what I was thinking. Leave it to me. Within seven days, I will make this place impenetrable—not even a fly will be able to get in."

Si Nan curled her lips and looked back at him. "Of course it's left to you. This is your forte; I'm just responsible for making the suggestions."

*Mwah~* In front of everyone, Luo Sen gave Si Nan a lightning-fast kiss, drawing criticism from the crowd.

"Oh boy, you two might as well stop eating and go back to your room so we can eat more." The first to speak was the incorrigible Ma Bufan.

"Hmm?" Luo Sen turned to look at Ma Bufan.

Ma Bufan immediately pointed at Guan Xiaoning and scolded him solemnly, "Look at you, making outrageous jokes about Brother Sen again. Hurry up and kneel down to apologize."

"Hahaha~" Everyone laughed. The atmosphere of the meal was lively, especially when they heard Luo Sen say he had driven back a nearly new large truck filled with searched supplies. They were even more excited to hear they would unload after dinner.

For the next seven days, except for the one in confinement, everyone else was assigned tasks by Luo Sen. Not only that, but that afternoon, while Si Nan and the others unloaded, Luo Sen drove back to the Residential Area to pick up the security guard Sister Ma and a retired female professor.

The security guard sister had been doing security work for years, so monitoring and patrolling were left to her.

The retired female professor, Professor Xu Zhaofeng, was a plant cultivation expert. She was a survivor from Unit M. She had just retired before the zombie virus outbreak and had only enjoyed a few days of peace before facing such a disaster.

That day, her husband, son, and daughter-in-law who were out were gone, leaving only her and her nursing granddaughter. Her granddaughter, Tian Yaya, was three years old and just happened to become a playmate for Bai Zhuangzhuang.

The villa estate was too large; to grow crops, they needed someone who knew the trade, and this old professor happened to be suitable. For the old professor, it was exactly what she wanted. "Miss Si, don't worry. With me here, this place will definitely be lush with greenery. I will make good use of every inch of land."

"Then it will be hard on you, Professor Xu." Si Nan smiled.

"Just call me Auntie Xu." Professor Xu Zhaofeng didn't dare to be arrogant and said modestly.

Seeing how sensible she was, Si Nan felt comfortable; she wouldn't dare anyway. Many high-level intellectuals like them had their noses in the air, feeling superior. Only by meeting face-to-face could one judge a person's character from their speech and behavior.

If this old lady dared to be arrogant, she would throw her out immediately. What relieved her was that this old professor was very well-bred, highly educated, elegant in every move, and extraordinary in her speech.

According to the materials listed by Luo Sen, Si Nan shut herself in the row house and took out the materials one by one. Song Yuan and the others used the truck to haul them over. Everyone worked together, laboring in the snow until midnight.

At dawn the next day, all the men got up automatically, smiled at each other, and started working, letting their women sleep a bit longer. Song Yuan and Bai Zichuan were satisfied, but only Luo Sen was unhappy. He hadn't succeeded last night; despite using all his tricks, he couldn't squeeze into Si Nan's room.

What was he to do?

Forget about working hard to make a baby; he didn't even have the chance to sleep in the same bed. He felt like he had fallen out of favor with Si Nan. The first thing he did upon getting up was curse himself a hundred times for being a fool—serves you right for your big mouth.

At breakfast, the little helper Bai Zhuangzhuang came to call them for food. Luo Sen immediately looked behind Bai Zhuangzhuang. Except for the white snow, there was no one else; his heart was colder than this freezing weather.

Nan Nan still hadn't forgiven him. Yesterday was all a lie; she was just giving him face in front of others.

By the time he washed up and sat down, the women were already seated. Even Mei Xue, who was in confinement, had gotten up to eat. Si Nan was there too, but she simply wouldn't look at him.

*Crack~* Luo Sen's heart shattered. The power of a big mouth was immense at the time, and the lingering effects were not to be underestimated. No, he had to do something—
