Chen Yi handed the circuit breaker to Sister Meow. He took the wire back inside to assess the situation. Connecting it directly and letting it get jammed in the door crack would be too unsightly. Better to drill a hole through the wall.
That way, the drain pipes and wires could all be run through together—convenient and safe.
"Meow, run to the hardware store again and bring back the large electric hammer drill for punching holes in walls."
Chen Yi smiled and pinched Sister Meow's cheek. Unexpectedly, her swollen face was quite soft to the touch, though a bit feverish.
"Hey, brother, let's go together."
Li Miao'er's eyes flickered with uncertainty; she had no idea what he was talking about.
"Alright, let's go there once more."
Chen Yi nodded with a smile. Driving around feels great. Imagine if we had a luxury sports car and two adorable little beauties with us.
Touring the unique scenery of the apocalypse while being fed chilled grapes by a beauty... Thinking about it is just so cool.
"Brother, what are you thinking about? You're smiling so happily~"
Li Miao'er blinked her beautiful eyes and leaned closer. Smelling her brother's cool, refreshing scent and looking at his alluring face, she really wanted to hug him and give him a passionate kiss.
"It's nothing, Meow. Let's get the hammer drill quickly, drill the hole, connect the wires, and we can use the appliances."
Chen Yi took Sister Meow's small hand and ran downstairs. He'd wanted to use the Holy Light Resuscitator to heal her, but seeing her little face bruised and purple was truly uncomfortable to look at.
This time, they didn't encounter any zombies. Probably because it was too close—within a few hundred meters, the surrounding zombies had been almost completely cleared.
"Meow, bring these two toolboxes back as well."
Chen Yi took two small hand drills and a set of cordless, rechargeable rotary hammers.
"Mhm~"
Li Miao'er suddenly pressed against Chen Yi's arm, planting her pink lips firmly against his in a fierce kiss. Seeing the dazed look in his eyes, she really wanted to do something even more extreme.
"Brother, let's hurry home."
She licked her moist pink lips with a mischievous smirk. The sweet, delicious taste is really good. I'll savor it carefully tonight.
Chen Yi wiped the moisture from his lower lip. What a little pervert. I was going to heal your injury, but now that I think about it, it's better for you to stay in pain for a while, he grumbled inwardly.
He grabbed two boxes of clips from the shelf, then drove the tricycle back home with Sister Meow.
"Meow, bring the stuff upstairs." Chen Yi got up, took a small toolbox, and ran upstairs.
"Xiao Yi, can you get me a drink? I'm so thirsty."
Ye Qing'er lay on the sofa, licking her beautiful vermilion lips. Her melodious voice had turned hoarse.
"Serves you right for fighting. Now you know how uncomfortable it feels."
Chen Yi smiled faintly, clicking his tongue. He still went and fetched a bottle of milk tea for her. If Sister Meow weren't watching, he might have even wanted to feed Sister Qing'er the water himself.
Gulp, gulp...
Ye Qing'er took the milk tea and drank it all in one go.
"Ahh, comfortable~"
She stretched contentedly, then extended her pink tongue to gently lick the milk tea from her lips.
Gulp.
Chen Yi swallowed faster. Those 'rabbits' are so enticing—white and sizable.
He really wanted to hold them in his hands to feel their texture. Though he might not be able to hold them with one hand, he could definitely manage with both.
"Brother!"
Li Miao'er's beautiful eyes were full of anger. She yanked his arm hard and pulled him out the door. It's just some flesh, is it really that nice to look at?
"Mhm..."
Chen Yi touched his nose in embarrassment. Admiring other women in front of Sister Meow really wasn't appropriate.
With a slight smile, he picked up the rotary hammer and began explaining to Sister Meow how to use it.
"Meow, drill a hole right here. Don't make it too big—about five centimeters in length and width is enough."
Chen Yi pointed out the spot for her, then moved a stool over, indicating she should stand on it to drill the hole.
Ch-ch-ch... Buzzzz...
White dust mixed with powdered brick fragments scattered everywhere. Chen Yi and Sister Meow were both covered in the fine powder, looking even more disheveled than before.
"Pah, pah... Brother, the wall's pierced through."
Li Miao'er jumped down with the rotary hammer. Her little face was even redder now, as filthy as a little coal miner who'd just finished a shift.
"Mhm, almost there."
Chen Yi walked into the room to check, then instructed, "Meow, pull the wire through this hole."
He carried the portable air conditioner to the computer desk in the bedroom, disconnected the copper pipes and drain hose, and extended them toward the doorway.
Crash!
Chen Yi directly smashed a small section of the glass panel above the bedroom door, then pulled the copper pipes and drain hose through.
Hearing the commotion, Ye Qing'er also got up from the sofa. She leaned against the doorframe, holding her chest, and whispered, "Xiao Yi, do you need my help?"
"Sister Qing'er, rest properly. Wiring is a one-person job, not for two."
Chen Yi shook his head. He connected the two copper pipes and the water hose, securing them to the wall with adhesive tape. It was enough for them to remain stable and not fall off for a while.
"Meow, get the power strip for me."
Chen Yi took the wires to the living room, cut a few lengths for the power strip, and sat down on a stool.
Been busy for so long, and finally it's almost done. Once the power's connected, we can enjoy the cool air from the air conditioner.
"Brother, you're really skilled~"
Li Miao'er squatted to the side, blinking her large, dewy eyes. With such dexterous, slender fingers, doing some shy things must feel incredibly amazing—no doubt about it.
No wonder people often say online that a top-tier handsome guy must first have a pair of beautiful, fair, and delicate hands. This is a woman's "second husband," so of course the standards are higher.
"Meow, this is just simple manual labor, no real skill involved. You could learn it in a couple of days if you applied yourself."
A smile touched the corner of Chen Yi's mouth. If there weren't a zombie crisis in this world, judging by Meimei's academic performance...
She'd be very suited to being a plumber—earning more than laboring on a construction site, and not requiring too much knowledge or education.
Li Miao'er immediately fell silent, quietly squatting to the side, blinking her beautiful eyes as she watched, not even thinking of helping him.
Whew... finally done.
Chen Yi stood up and let out a deep breath. He placed the connected circuit breaker on the cabinet by the door, then ran the power strip into the bedroom.
"Sister Qing'er, tidy up the trash in the house. Meow and I will go downstairs to start the generator."
Chen Yi smiled and called out to Sister Qing'er, who was lying on the sofa, then took Sister Meow's small hand and ran downstairs. After nearly an entire afternoon, he was truly exhausted.
You little troublemaker, just you wait!
Ye Qing'er got up and watched their retreating backs, her pale-red eyes filled with resentment.
"Meow, go get a bucket of water. Tap water is fine."
Chen Yi tapped the control panel of the generator and examined it. The coolant tank was empty—it couldn't be started at all.
"Brother, does the generator need water too?" Li Miao'er asked, standing to the side in confusion.
"This generator is just like a tractor. Water needs to be added to cool the engine, otherwise it'll burn out directly."
Chen Yi ruffled her hair as he explained.
"Oh..."
Li Miao'er pursed her pink lips and ran to fetch a large bucket of water. This kind of machinery is so troublesome. I don't want to mess with it anymore.
"Meow, pour the water into the coolant tank. Be careful not to spill it."
Chen Yi picked up a plastic bottle, cut it in half with a dagger, and placed the smaller half into the water inlet as a funnel.
Hmph!
Li Miao'er pursed her lips and let out an unwilling grunt, then picked up the bucket and filled the coolant tank according to his instructions.
