Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

"It's already past nine after dinner. Do you want me to drive you home?"

Frost Star picked up a piece of fried tempura and bit off half of it in one bite.

"If you are worried about my safety, then I have to tell you that you are overthinking it. No one in Longmen can beat me. Even if there are ten or a hundred of them, I can easily defeat them."

"That's true."

There was no doubt that the worry was unnecessary, but letting a pretty lady like Shuangxing walk back by herself was something Feng Qingyu could not do, both morally and logically.

"Just think of it as helping you save on taxi fare. I don't like having my guests walk or take a taxi back by themselves."

Frost Star stuffed the remaining half of the shrimp into his mouth, and some crispy flour crumbs stuck to the corners of his mouth.

"I want to stay here tonight, is that okay? My dad is visiting the general to catch up with the old times, and I'm bored staying at home alone. It's just a small house in a remote area, and it's not very comfortable to live in. It smells damp, and there are bugs crawling all over the floor."

What I mean is that your family is quite well off and I would like to stay there for one night.

"Of course you can, but there's no change of clothes for you here. If you don't mind, you can wear mine. My clothes are a little bigger in size."

The disappointment in Feng Qingyu's heart suddenly disappeared at this moment. Although he said that he didn't want to keep her, his actions were extremely honest.

Out of courtesy, Feng Qingyu hurried to the second floor to clean up the largest guest room, prepared spare clothes and bath towels, and took out new pillows and quilts.

After preparing the food, Shuangxing had just finished eating, so she was about to help her collect the dishes and wash them. There was a dishwasher at home, so it was unnecessary to wash the dishes manually.

Feng Qingyu quickly stopped Shuangxing and asked her to go to the second floor to take a shower.

"The bath water is ready, and the temperature can be adjusted by yourself. My bathtub is the latest model of massage bathtub, and there is a touch panel next to it that can turn on the massage function. You can turn it on as needed."

Shuangxing had been here once before and knew where the bathroom was, so she went in with the things she needed. She had never enjoyed a spacious bathroom before, and when she took a bath in the tundra, she could only take a broken bathtub, pour some hot water in it, and wash herself, or wipe herself with a hot towel.

She felt a little lonely staying alone in a bathtub that could accommodate several people or even more.

She really hoped that Feng Qingyu could take a bath with her, but there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them, so it was inconvenient to have such a scene, so they had to take a bath in two separate bathrooms.

Frost Star is not in a very good mood right now. A cold expression can help her hide a lot of her thoughts. She can hide it from others but she cannot deceive her own heart.

Before meeting Feng Qingyu, she had a quarrel with the Patriot.

The father and daughter often have disagreements due to disagreements, which turn into quarrels. One is an old stubborn, and the other is a little stubborn. They have similar personalities, just like the same person at different ages, and neither of them will give in to the other.

In the end, Shuangxing left in anger and went to find the person she cared about most besides her dad.

"..."

Frost Star stirred the water with her hands, letting the sound of water take away her worries.

There was a dull pain in my chest, as if it was blocked by a sharp stone. I couldn't move it away, but if I didn't move it away it would cut my skin and internal organs, leaving my body covered in blood.

She was already very shaken about joining Rhodes Island, and she had thought about it. Unfortunately, when she talked about it with her father, he scolded her severely. She was asking for trouble.

"Old stubborn ..."

She has a love-hate relationship with the Patriots. If the old guy could be flexible, he might not have suffered so many setbacks. It was the case in the past, and it is still the case now.

My mood didn't improve after taking a shower, unless I could join Rhodes Island immediately.

If she brings the Yeti team to join Rhodes Island and escapes from Tallulah's control, she will probably have to fight against the old stubborn man.

Tallulah has gone mad now, and uses Mephistopheles and Faust as her pathfinders, and no one can stop her.

If this continues, everyone in the Integration Movement will be killed by her.

She couldn't save Mephisto and Faust, she wanted to save Big Daddy. Rhodes Island was right, only Rhodes Island could give the infected a future, not the Integration Movement.

"I'm so tired..."

Frost Star lifted up her wet hair and wiped the water off her body with a dry towel.

She was very tired now and couldn't think about anything too complicated. Reality was not a novel. It wasn't like waking up from a sleep and finding an adventure, or having your problems solved.

That being said, you must rest when it’s time to rest.

There was no one in the living room. Feng Qingyu had gone to take a shower. There was the sound of water in the bathroom on the first floor. There were two cups of freshly brewed fruit tea on the table, Victoria black tea with fresh lemon slices, and a few unmelted ice cubes floating on top.

“That’s very thoughtful.”

After taking a shower, you will feel a little hot, so drinking some cold drinks is just right to cool down. Shuangxing took one of the cups and sipped it. I can drink such delicious drinks every day and eat such delicious food just now. Life is perfect.

Living with this woman named Feng Qingyu, I will definitely not be bored or feel wronged, and I will be happy every day.

"Why am I thinking this?"

Frost Star smiled bitterly, and her expression was reflected in the black tea, which looked quite ugly.

Could it be that she has already...

The word gradually took shape in my mind.

71 midnight snack

Shuangxing silently recited the word in her mind. For the first time in her life, she felt her own feelings through that word, and it took only a few dozen days for the emotion to grow from a weak one to the strong one it is now.

But some things cannot be explained by words or common sense. There is no reason to like someone, you just like him/her.

There is no conflict in being grateful for saving my life and liking someone at the same time.

"It's... a little exciting here."

She touched her heart with her hand, and the organs inside were beating rapidly and faster, almost breaking through the thin wall and rushing to the outside world.

A little deer was beating its heart with its hooves, making it make a "thump, thump" sound.

A woman in her twenties can no longer be considered a girl. Under the nourishment of certain emotions, her heart suddenly glows with the radiance of a girl.

The person you think about is living under the same roof with you, and you can see him/her whenever you want.

Shuangxing wanted to say as much as she could while there was still time, otherwise there would be no chance in the future. The thing that impressed her most was that Tallulah bought a proposal ring, but before she could propose to her beloved fawn, something happened. In the end, she could only wear the ring around her neck and take it out to look at it every time she missed Alina.

Marriage is a very distant prospect for Shuangxing, and she doesn’t think in that direction.

She walked through the corridor and came to the living room. Feng Qingyu had just finished her shower, and her hair was still dripping with water. When she was at home, she could skip putting on a bathrobe, but not now. If she didn't put it on, the following story would not be able to unfold.

In order to avoid being locked in a small dark room for correction, she had to force herself to wear a bathrobe and cover herself tightly.

"After taking a bath, I really want a cup of iced tea to satisfy my taste—"

The high-quality Victoria tea that Ceylon gave her was just right for making cold brew tea. Drinking a cup in such a warm weather was simply a high-end enjoyment.

After returning from Sargon, her desire for cold drinks became stronger. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't have a few bottles a day.

Only when you have experienced the feeling of almost fainting from thirst in the scorching heat will you understand the value of water and drinks.

Frost Star is staying here today. It is not convenient for her to smoke indoors. If she wants to smoke, she must wait until she goes to bed. So she will just drink tea instead of cigarettes.

The empty cup used by Shuangxing has been washed and put back in its place, so she doesn't have to worry about these things at all.

Saying the same thing too many times would seem verbose, and Feng Qingyu had no intention of blaming him, so he just passed it over and didn't bother to mention it again.

"Ms. Yelena, your room is upstairs. Do you want to rest now? It's very late."

Although this sentence sounded a bit awkward, as if he was just making small talk, it was indeed late. Ten o'clock in Rhodes Island was already the normal sleeping time for many operators.

For example, my new roommate, Yaye, may have fallen asleep by now, and I am learning all kinds of complicated knowledge from her in my dreams. An operator once complained that Yaye would recite medical terms in her dreams, but I don't know if it's true.

Hearing that it was time to go to bed, Shuangxing touched her stomach. The food inside seemed to be almost digested. Now should be time for a midnight snack.

Longmen has a late-night snack culture, and many late-night snack stalls are open until four or five in the morning. One of the main reasons why Shuangxing likes Longmen is the late-night snacks. All the food here is delicious.

"I'm hungry."

"Huh? No way, you've already eaten enough for four people, and you're still hungry?"

"..."

Shuangxing was indeed hungry, and this time she specifically asked for the Yan Country-style black dragon meat and seaweed roll, which was topped with a fresh white dragon salad. The salad dressing came in several colors, including the most common white, light yellow, orange, and some other random colors.

The salad dressing is stored in a wide-bodied, narrow-mouthed plastic bottle, which requires a bit of effort to squeeze out.

The seaweed rolls were ready. Feng Qingyu had expected that Shuangxing would complain about being hungry before going to bed and needed to fill her stomach without leaving any space. She liked to eat, in every sense of the word.

"Mmm, it tastes good today."

Frost Star doesn't like to cut the whole seaweed roll into small pieces, and chooses to taste it as a whole, just like some people don't like to cut watermelon into small pieces, but cut it in half and scoop out one spoonful at a time with a spoon.

A very unique way of eating.

Feng Qingyu watched helplessly as she swallowed most of the seaweed roll, which was as thick as a rolling pin, in one gulp.

Is this woman a glutton? Feng Qingyu thought.

She was worried that Shuangxing would not be full, so she cooked some lotus root powder. Lotus root powder is good for the stomach and intestines, and can be eaten as a dessert when bored. Shuangxing, who is not picky about food and likes vegetarian food, will definitely not refuse it.

It turned out that she was right, and Froststar almost ate the pot.

It took more than an hour to have supper, and some of the salad dressing and lotus root powder splashed onto the floor, the table, and the countertop, making it quite troublesome to clean up.

"Wow...I should have put down a tablecloth. It takes a lot of work to clean up."

Cleaning is a very tiring job, but Feng Qingyu is not a person who doesn't care about hygiene. Every time he finishes using the kitchen, he will immediately wipe the sanitary dead corners that may be attacked by oil stains after washing the dishes.

Once stains accumulate to a certain extent, they will be difficult to clean.

Fortunately, I didn't eat next to the wall. The wall was white and the paint was brand new, but it was stained by salad dressing and other food sauces. I couldn't scrape it off, so I had to spend money to paint it again.

For example, Chen especially likes to eat on the balcony. The floor of the balcony is always dirty and sticky, and he is too lazy to clean it up. Feng Qingyu can't stand it and mops it several times before it is clean.

"Sorry... My bad."

Shuang Xing woke up from her dream and saw the stains on the ground. She immediately offered to help clean it up. This time Feng Qingyu couldn't clean it up by himself, so he agreed to let her join in.

"It's okay. I promised you a midnight snack. I'm an accomplice. If you want to clean up, let's do it together."

They first wiped the large area with a napkin, then sprayed some detergent, and then wiped it several times with a wet rag. The salad dressing splashed on a large area, but fortunately there was no lumps.

After cleaning up the kitchen, it was almost twelve o'clock. Both of them were exhausted and sweating.

"I'm sorry, I need to use your bathroom again. I'm sorry for causing you trouble just now."

Shuang Xing's cheeks were a little hot because she was busy and exhausted. Feng Qingyu was almost the same. After they cleaned up the kitchen, they rested on the sofa. It took a long time for them to recover.

The real reason for making the kitchen dirty was the fight that took place during the meal.

For example, the baker likes flour fights, the pajama party pillow fights, and the two of them playing with salad dressing in the kitchen, spilling it everywhere, and now they have to change their clothes again.

It's fun, but the price is high.

Seeing Frost Star smiling like a child, the pain of cleaning the kitchen is not worth mentioning.

"Don't say that. I haven't felt this way in a long time."

Feng Qingyu reached for the tissue in the tissue box, ready to wipe the sweat off his face, but found it was empty. When he was cleaning the kitchen just now, he had already used up all the tissue.

72. A Ruthless Recruiting Machine

After dealing with all the troublesome things, it is about 1 o'clock in the morning. It is still early for night owls, but for people with normal sleep schedules, if they can't fall asleep at this time, it will be a nightmare, and the sleepy hell of the next day will come as expected.

Feng Qingyu lay on the bed and changed into another set of pajamas. Under Shuangxing's strong request, she had to agree to let the two of them squeeze into the same room tonight.

Living alone in such a big house at night is really scary. This place is far away from the city streets, and there is almost no other noise. When Feng Qingyu first moved in, he was a little scared, but later he gradually got used to it.

She closed her eyes, waiting for the tide of sleepiness to overwhelm her. Ever since she started working at Rhodes Island, her body had become more and more tired. She couldn't lie down and still toss and turn in bed.

Thanks to Rhodes Island, her problem of taking too long to fall asleep was cured.

Out of politeness, Feng Qingyu and Shuangxing did not cover themselves with the same quilt. One must be aware of whether one's sleeping posture is good or not, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the guests if one pulled the quilt all over himself while half asleep.

This is a children's program, and any images must be healthy and meaningful.

"Ms. Yelena, good night... I can't hold on any longer. If you have anything to say, we can talk slowly during the day."

She had never expected to have to prepare a midnight snack before going to bed. People who don't cook will never know how tiring it is to cook, and she is always the one who works the hardest.

My waist is painful and numb, and I can no longer withstand any long-term torture in the short term.

Standing for a long time to prepare bento and other dishes on the Donggu train does require a certain amount of waist and arm strength.

"Before you say goodnight, I have one last request."

Shuang Xing's words forced Feng Qingyu to summon up the last bit of energy before falling asleep to listen to her. In the brief moment before falling asleep, his thoughts were scattered to the greatest extent, and he basically couldn't hear what others said.

"Ms. Feng Qingyu, I think——"

"Okay... that's fine with me."
