33: Isn’t it always like this?

“Lord Pan, do you want to wash together?” the third brother asked.

“I won’t wash, I just finished washing this morning.”

“Okay, then we’ll go first.”

“Wait a minute! You guys?”

“Yeah! All 7 of us will wash together!”

“Ah? You guys are mixed-gender bathing??”

“Isn’t it always like this?”

“Always like this? You’ve always had mixed bathing??” Pan Han was a bit surprised. This scene reminded him of a plot in “Starship Troopers”.

“Ah, yes!” The third brother was a bit bewildered, unsure how to explain.

“Uh, it’s fine, it’s fine, you guys go wash. I washed this morning.” Pan Han quickly backed out.

He watched them enter the bathroom happily, carrying basins and toiletries, discussing who would scrub whose back later. He smiled helplessly.

“You guys go wash, I need to leave, I have things to do. I’ll come back in a few days.” Pan Han said goodbye and left.

At this moment, Pan Han’s mind was filled with images of them bathing together, and he even thought of some restricted scenes. He glanced back at Cheng Xiao again, couldn’t help but sigh, shook his head, and left.

He had originally thought that after Cheng Xiao had bathed and smelled nice, he would find an opportunity to have a deep conversation with her.

Now it seemed Pan Han still knew nothing about the apocalypse.

However, on second thought, since everyone was so open, there should be no obstacles if he were to open a harem dungeon in the future. It would also be good without all the messy palace intrigues.

Forget it, I should go back. I still have dinner with Yan Xiaoli tonight. After eating, I also need to prepare a batch of food. The consumption this time was indeed not small, so I need to restock quickly.

Pan Han returned to the small room on the second floor, and with a thought, he traveled back to his own world.

When he arrived at the shared apartment, he took out his phone and checked the time. It was already past 5 PM.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoli’s WeChat message came again: “Why can’t I reach you by phone? No signal?”

Pan Han had no way to explain to her that there was no communication between the apocalypse and this side.

He casually made up an excuse and then asked what they should eat tonight.

Yan Xiaoli chose a seafood buffet that cost over 400 per person, not far from the shared apartment.

Pan Han looked at it and realized, wasn’t this the most expensive meal he had treated Chen Yun to before? At that time, to treat Chen Yun to this seafood buffet, he had distributed flyers for two whole weeks.

Now he could pay the bill effortlessly. Life truly had its ups and downs.

During dinner, Yan Xiaoli told Pan Han that she would be going out of town to film again next week. This time it was a new director, a small production, and she had also secured the role of the fourth female lead.”

Pan Han had no concept of what a fourth female lead meant.

“It’s similar to the role Bingbing had in ‘Princess Pearl’ back then,” Yan Xiaoli said.

“Wow, that’s great! If you act well, you could become famous!”

“It’s not that easy. There are many influencing factors in acting: the script, actors, director, cinematographer, and so on.”

“How long will this filming take?”

“Half a month.”

“That’s a bit long. If I miss you, can I visit the set?” Pan Han asked.

“Visit the set? Of course. I’ll check the filming progress then and tell you which day we’re filming the bed scene.” Yan Xiaoli was probably trying to tease Pan Han.

“Oh, good! I’ve never seen how a bed scene is filmed.”

“I’m serious! This is an urban romance drama, and there’s a small intimate scene.”

“Oh, go film it, it’s work.”

“Geez, do I need your permission?! I’m informing you, not asking for your approval!” Yan Xiaoli said, then broke open a king crab leg and put it in her mouth.

Pan Han nodded and started eating shrimp on his own.

“You’re not jealous, are you?” Yan Xiaoli asked, blinking her eyes.

“Huh??” Pan Han was a bit bewildered by the question. What was there to be jealous about? His mind was currently focused on base development.

“Don’t worry, before I leave, I’ll drain you dry.”

“Damn it! We’ll see who wins when we get back!” Pan Han said, and then fiercely ate two oysters.

The two of them chatted and ate like this, and before they knew it, it was almost nine o’clock.

“I can’t eat anymore,” Pan Han said, looking at the mountain of food waste in front of him.

“I can’t eat anymore either. This is my last proper meal before I appear on the big screen,” Yan Xiaoli said, rubbing her stomach.

The two of them got up and left, heading straight for the parking spot by the entrance, ready to drive back.

Unbeknownst to them, in a corner of the parking lot, a Nissan sedan was parked, with a man wearing a baseball cap inside, staring intently at Pan Han and Yan Xiaoli.

After the BMW M5 started, the Nissan also started its engine and followed them.

Pan Han was happily driving, listening to music, his right hand constantly caressing Yan Xiaoli’s thigh.

Suddenly! There was a loud bang, and Pan Han and Yan Xiaoli were jolted forward by half a body length, almost hitting their heads.

Yan Xiaoli screamed loudly in fright, and Pan Han also had a bad feeling. It might be a rear-end collision!

The cars on the road detoured one after another. Pan Han checked the rearview mirror, confirmed there were no cars, and then opened the door to get out.

He went straight to the trunk and found a large dent. Behind them, a Nissan with its front bumper on the ground was prominently parked.

“Holy crap, I just bought this car!” Pan Han couldn’t help but curse.

The man in the Nissan sedan quickly opened the door, got out, and came forward, saying, “Oh, sorry, brother, I was distracted just now.”

“Are you f*cking doing this on purpose? How can you rear-end me when I’m going so slow?” Pan Han said.

“No, no, how could it be on purpose? My mother-in-law just called me and told me to hurry back. She said something happened at home. I just answered the phone and then I crashed,” the man explained.

After hearing this, Pan Han didn’t want to overreact and just called the police.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoli came over and gasped when she saw such a large dent in the rear bumper.

Soon after, the traffic police arrived, and the situation was very clear: the rear car was fully responsible for the rear-end collision.

Pan Han didn’t want to mediate and decided to go through the other party’s insurance directly. However, the car would have to be taken away for repairs for ten days to half a month.

How unlucky, going out for a meal and getting rear-ended. The two of them had no choice but to take a taxi back.

After watching the two leave, the man took out his phone: “Hello? Dou Dou Jie, it’s done.”

“Excellent! That bastard, we’ll mess with him first this time. Later, we’ll take our time, and sooner or later, we’ll make him die in that car.” The person on the phone was Wang Doudou.

“Hehe, Dou Dou Jie, we’ll take our time. Oh, by the way, a woman got out of his car just now. They look like they have an unusual relationship,” the man said.

“Find out who she is,” Wang Doudou said.

“They should be shared roommates. I’ll find someone to investigate further tomorrow,” the man said.

“Good! Then we’ll take care of her too,” Wang Doudou said viciously.

...

After Pan Han and Yan Xiaoli returned to the shared apartment, they were both in no mood, so they each showered and prepared for bed.

“She’s going to film for ten days to half a month, and my car will be in repair for ten days to half a month. It’s a good time to go to the base for construction. I’ll come back once a day, take a shower, check WeChat messages, and so on.” Pan Han pondered what he should do next.
