"Meow, what is it?"
Chen Yi leaned against the wall and sat down on the cool tiles. The warm water continued to cascade over his body—it felt truly wonderful.
"Milk Qing! What are you doing?!"
Li Miao'er, who had just been about to tell her brother to hurry up and open the door, was dragged away by a fuming Ye Qing'er.
"You little pervert! You try to take advantage of your brother every single day. Can't you act like a decent person, huh?!"
Ye Qing'er pinched her cheek and interrogated angrily.
"Pfft! A woman like you still dreams of marrying my brother? Are you even worthy?"
Li Miao'er curled her pink lips in disdain and forcefully pulled "Milk Qing's" arm away. If it weren't for this big glaring lightbulb, she would've succeeded ages ago. It was truly infuriating.
Bam!
Li Miao'er gave a hard kick, smashing open the bathroom door at Sister Qing'er's place. This kind of shoddy wooden door was really an eyesore.
"Little troublemaker, you wanna fight?"
Ye Qing'er cracked her slender knuckles, listening to the crisp sound of bones and joints. She felt her strength had improved quite a bit—she should be able to take down this little troublemaker now.
"Let's see if I can't beat you to death! Raaah!"
Li Miao'er rushed forward, her beautiful eyes flashing, and threw a small fist straight at her opponent's ample "rabbit," as if she wanted to punch it flat.
"Heh, you really aren't as strong as before."
Ye Qing'er let out an arrogant laugh, firmly gripping Li Miao'er's small fist. The two stood locked in a stalemate in the bathroom.
Ten minutes later...
"Ah! Don't hit the face! Not the face!"
Ye Qing'er lay pitifully on the ground, howling. The little troublemaker's face was swollen from her beating, and a trickle of blood still dripped from the corner of her mouth. But unfortunately, she still couldn't win.
"Ahh, satisfying."
Li Miao'er got up and stretched, filled the bathtub with hot water, then climbed in and lay back comfortably.
The anger in her heart had been vented. Beating up Milk Qing felt so good.
"Oww, that hurts!"
Ye Qing'er struggled to get up, only to see small bruises dotting her pretty face.
Her body also ached all over, but luckily she'd used her hands to protect her vital points. Otherwise, it really would've been miserable.
"Hmph! Milk Qing, still feeling arrogant?"
Li Miao'er squinted at the pained mask on her face, feeling a bit smug.
Should've broken her legs and arms, then waited until next week for brother to treat her.
Sigh...
Ye Qing'er gritted her silver teeth tightly and ignored the little troublemaker. Supporting herself against the wall with trembling hands, she climbed into the bathtub. Feeling the comfort of the hot water, the pain in her body suddenly eased a lot.
"Still not enough. I need strength to completely overwhelm her. Can't let her drag it out for ten minutes again, or I'll just get beaten up." Ye Qing'er closed her eyes, silently thinking to herself.
"Meow, Sister Qing'er, what are you two up to?"
Chen Yi finished washing, changed into clean shorts and a T-shirt, and rubbed some cooling essential oil on his body, feeling much more refreshed.
"Brother! Can you get my clothes? I'm taking a shower." Li Miao'er shouted loudly from inside the water.
"Wait a second."
Chen Yi turned and went back to the bedroom to fetch a simple set of clothes for Meimei. In a bit, wiring would probably get the clothes dirty anyway. He wanted to go to the mall later and bring some more clothes back.
He placed the clothes on the stool by the bathroom door and said, "Meow, I've left your clothes here by the door."
"Xiao Yi, can you get my clothes for me too?" Ye Qing'er asked softly.
Splash! Thump!
Li Miao'er rushed over, slapped her pretty face with a small hand, and the two started fighting again in the water.
"Meow! Sister Qing'er! Stop fighting already. I'm going out to get some things. Hurry up and shower."
Chen Yi shook his head. Listening to the splashing water and their indignant yelps from the bathroom, he didn't need to guess to know they were at it again.
"No! Brother, I'll wash up right away, wait for me!"
Li Miao'er quickly let go of the "little animal" in her grip, jumped out of the bathtub, and rinsed the foam off her body under the shower.
"Meow, I'll wait for you downstairs."
Chen Yi turned and went downstairs. He checked his watch—it was already 3 PM. They could go out to gather some necessary supplies, then install the air conditioner.
Installing the generator was very straightforward. They could enjoy cool air tonight, and he couldn't wait any longer.
"You little troublemaker, you just wait!"
Ye Qing'er stood up trembling, her fair skin covered in small handprints.
Her lively "rabbits" had been seriously wounded on the spot, and her pretty face was swollen from the beating.
"Huh? You want another round?"
Li Miao'er shot her a disdainful glance, then turned and ran downstairs. So pathetic, yet still daring to think about my brother? I'll break her legs sooner or later.
Haa...
Ye Qing'er endured the pain and got up. Without even drying off, she put on her dirty clothes and hurried downstairs after her.
"Sister Qing'er! Meow! What happened to you two?!"
Chen Yi looked at them in shock. These two were really in a sorry state—both with bruised and swollen faces. They'd fought even more fiercely than before.
"Mmph, brother, what supplies do we need to get?"
Li Miao'er placed her greatsword in the tricycle bucket, sat down, and hugged his soft waist tightly. Smelling his strong, refreshing fragrance was truly invigorating.
Ye Qing'er frowned and silently climbed into the tricycle, feeling the intense pain. Her eyes were filled with resentment.
I really want to tie up this little troublemaker and bully Xiao Yi right in front of her. That would definitely piss her off.
"Go to the hardware store for some tools and wiring, then pick up an air conditioner. That should be enough."
Chen Yi handed the umbrella to Sister Meow, gripped the tricycle's handlebars, and rode out of the community. This feeling was really nice.
"Brother, turn left at the community entrance. There's a hardware store about 200 meters ahead, and an appliance store across the street." Li Miao'er reminded him, pressing her little face against his arm.
"Yeah." Chen Yi smiled and nodded.
Several survivors in the community poked their heads out curiously upon hearing the commotion and began whispering among themselves.
"Such a beautiful boy… If I could just get one kiss and hold him all night, I'd die happy on the spot."
But upon seeing the two girls beside him, the heat in their eyes dimmed considerably.
"The nearby zombies were all cleared out by those two fierce women. Trying to snatch their man… wouldn't that be like an old fool hanging himself—just asking to die?"
"So soft and fragrant! Feels amazing to touch!"
Li Miao'er's little hands had sneakily slipped under her brother's shirt, gently kneading his tender skin. Smelling his scent was truly intoxicating.
"We're here!"
Chen Yi forcefully pulled Little Sister Meow's hand out and shot her a glare several times, but this little lecher acted as if she hadn't seen it. Too much!
"Hehe, brother, I'll go clear out the zombies ahead."
Li Miao'er smirked, licking her pink lips. Unfortunately, with her little face covered in bruises, she didn't look cute at all.
She grabbed her greatsword and charged forward. She didn't know where those few zombies had come from; they were squatting at the hardware store entrance, gnawing on rotting corpses. They looked extremely emaciated.
Whoosh!
Thump! Thump!
Li Miao'er swung her greatsword, cleanly severing the heads of several zombies. This way, her clothes wouldn't get stained, it was pleasing to the eye, and she looked particularly cool and domineering.
