Chapter 115 The Day of Doomsday (XVIII)
Obviously, the neighbor didn't know much, so Qiao Yuan could only give up looking for clues from him for the time being.
After saying goodbye to her, Qiao Yuan and others opened the door and returned to their temporary home.
After washing his hands in the bathroom, Qiao Yuan came out and discussed the two bodies with the others. As they had seen how poor the sound insulation in the old house was, they did not speak loudly.
The slap that Qiao Yuan gave really caught Yu Guo and the others by surprise.
Song Yanchi said, "Sister, so we can rule out them being infected, but why do they suddenly open and close their eyes?"
After all, most of the infected people look down on humans, and the male corpse showed no reaction after being slapped by Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan: "Probably not, but it's also possible that the other party is very tolerant."
As for the second half of Song Yanchi's question, she couldn't answer it either.
If it were in the real world, she could try to explain it with scientific phenomena, but now she was in a copy and she had no idea.
At this moment, Yu Guo suddenly cried out that he was hungry, and the few of them realized that it was already night without them noticing.
Yu Guo couldn't wait to walk towards the kitchen. The room was powered, so the refrigerator in the kitchen was still working.
There were some simple ingredients in the refrigerator, and they all looked fine. Yu Guo opened them and looked at the others, "I can't cook, so who among you can cook?"
Song Yanchi was very dissatisfied that Yu Guo was the first to look at him. Of course, this dissatisfaction was more likely due to the fact that Yu Guo had always been sticking to Qiao Yuan: "Do you think I look like someone who can cook?"
However, he did not lie to Yu Guo about this matter. After all, in the real world, he had servants at home and a life assistant on the crew, so he naturally didn't know how to cook.
Qiao Yuan: "Cook it?"
Just put the ingredients into the pot and leave the rest to the water and fire. This is the cooking method she has learned. It has now evolved to the point where she can tell whether the food is cooked just by tasting it.
Yu Guo said that if possible, she still wanted to have a good meal, so she placed her last hope on Sheng Guiye, who subconsciously wanted to refuse. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he met Qiao Yiyuan's gaze, and paused what he was about to say: "No... It's not that I can't."
Yu Guo's eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, while Qiao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.
When Yu Guo turned to look at Sheng Guiye, some hope ignited in Qiao Yuan's heart. However, she soon realized that it should be Sheng Yegui, not Sheng Guiye, who could cook.
As expected, Sheng Guiye said "no", but what Qiao Yuan didn't expect was that the other party's following words were not a rejection.
I didn’t expect that Sheng Guiye also likes to use double negation to express affirmation.
But it seems that the dual personalities seem to have something in common, so doesn't that mean Sheng Guiye is also good at flower arrangement and tea art?
Although this thought flashed through his mind, Qiao Yuan still remembered that Sheng Guiye did not want to reveal the matter of his second personality, so he did not show it.
Yu Guo shouted excitedly, immediately moved aside to make room for him, and said "please".
Song Yanchi also didn't expect Sheng Guiye to cook, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times, especially when he rolled up his suit sleeves and stood in front of the kitchen, this strange feeling reached its peak.
Sheng Guiye did not ask the three to help. He asked them to leave the kitchen and then closed the kitchen door.
Song Yanchi and Yu Guo were already surprised enough that Sheng Guiye cooked, so they didn't have high expectations for his cooking skills.
Yu Guo, who had always agreed with Qiao Yuan, only refused the boiled vegetables.
Although Qiao Yuan had heard Sheng Yegui talk about it a long time ago, he had never tasted it himself, so he had no specific idea about it.
Therefore, when Sheng Guiye opened the kitchen door and brought the dishes to the table, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned.
"I took a look. These ingredients are enough to make five dishes and a soup. The soup is still simmering." Sheng Guiye slowly rolled up his sleeves to cover the Buddhist beads on his wrist.
Even after working in the kitchen, his suit still had no wrinkles: "It's just that the seasonings are not complete, so the taste may be a little worse."
After he said it was time to eat, Yu Guo couldn't wait to take a bite of the food. After swallowing it, he immediately took several more bites. Then he finally focused his attention: "Brother-in-law, are you learning how to cook when you're not working? This is so delicious."
Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi had already started eating.
Qiao Yuan had to admit that Sheng Guiye's cooking was the most delicious meal she had ever eaten. Even a simple dish of green vegetables was made fresh and juicy by him, and Qiao Yuan experienced for the first time what it meant to have an explosion of taste buds.
She turned to look at Sheng Guiye, her eyes sparkling: "Delicious!"
He tried to use his praise to make Sheng Guiye take charge of the meals afterwards.
Although Song Yanchi also felt that it tasted better than what his own chef cooked, he couldn't help but say after hearing Yu Guo's words: "Who are you calling brother-in-law? She's my sister, not yours. Besides, she and Sheng Guiye had to pretend to be a couple to the outside world, and now they don't have to..."
Yu Guo handed the bowl to Sheng Guiye: "Brother-in-law, can you help me get a bowl of soup?"
Sheng Guiye was not going to reach out at first, but after hearing Yu Guo's words, he paused and took the bowl, as well as Qiao Yuan's small empty bowl.
No one knew that when Sheng Guiye turned around and went back to the kitchen, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.
This was actually Sheng Guiye's first time cooking. Before this, he was similar to Song Yanchi, with his secretary ordering three meals a day, or cooking together with business partners.
At first, Sheng Guiye really didn't want to agree, but when he met Qiao Yuan's eyes, a voice in his heart seemed to scold him: "We finally have a kitchen, and you let her eat boiled vegetables?"
"I have been preparing for this moment for so long..."
He knew it was the second personality speaking.
Sheng Guiye wanted to make that voice shut up, but the second personality was too noisy. The voice kept lingering in his ears, as if it would keep talking unless he agreed. Therefore, Sheng Guiye had no choice but to agree.
Standing in front of the stove in the kitchen, the recipe automatically came to his mind, as if he had made it countless times.
While washing vegetables, Sheng Guiye was thinking that Qiao Yuan's influence on the second personality was indeed very strong, and now it even affected him through the second personality;
While cutting vegetables, Sheng Guiye was thinking about whether he should look for new beads in the base because he was missing some beads, and he suppressed his second personality;
While cooking, Sheng Guiye was thinking about the dishes that Qiao Yuan had eaten in the kindergarten dungeon, and guessing his taste;
As he walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes, Sheng Guiye was thinking that he must keep a distance from Qiao Yuan until he found a way to suppress his second personality.
However, after the food was actually served, Sheng Guiye realized that his mind was occupied by only one question at this time -
After all, it was his first time cooking and he didn’t know if the food would suit Qiao Yuan’s taste.
Fortunately, Qiao Yuan seemed to like it very much.
It seemed as if two souls in Sheng Guiye's body breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
After dinner, Qiao Yuan and others took the initiative to take on the responsibility of washing the dishes.
It was soon time to rest, but the few of them had already gotten used to keeping watch in the dungeon. Plus, they were the only ones who saw the corpse open its eyes, so they continued with this habit.
But because , Qiao Yuan decided to take turns to keep watch.
She and Yu Guo were in a group, guarding the second half of the night, while Song Yanchi and Sheng Guiye were in a group, guarding the first half of the night.
Song Yanchi glanced at Yu Guo. Although he wanted to raise an objection, his votes alone could not outweigh the other three, so he could only choose to agree.
The place they chose to keep watch was naturally the largest bedroom.
Looking at the wedding quilt with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, Song Yanchi was the first to walk forward and roll it up, and then he brought quilts from the other two rooms.
Yu Guo was still in good shape. After pulling Qiao Yuan onto the bed, he immediately took her place, holding Qiao Yuan's arm and resting his head on her shoulder. His eyes, which were not wrapped in gauze, were narrowed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Although he knew that Yu Guo was a little weird, Qiao Yuan naturally couldn't just push him away because he hadn't found any evidence against him yet.
What's more, Yu Guo was on her right side, and her heart was on the left.
After Yu Guo fell asleep, Qiao Yuan's consciousness was quickly pulled in.
Song Yanchi was very unhappy about Yu Guo sleeping with Qiao Yuan snuggled up to him, but he could do nothing about it. After all, any noise he made would easily wake the other person up.
However, just as he was about to look away from Qiao Yuan, he noticed another pair of eyes falling on Qiao Yuan.
Although the other party put it away just as quickly, he still noticed that it was Sheng Guiye.
And he was absolutely sure that the other person was looking at Qiao Yuan.
Song Yanchi couldn't help but frown and wanted to say something, but when he caught a glimpse of Qiao Yuan lying on the bed, he forced himself to hold back.
When it was their turn in the second half of the night, Qiao Yuan and Yu Guo both woke up automatically to take over their shifts.
Compared to Qiao Yuan and Yu Guo who were leaning on each other, Song Yanchi and Sheng Guiye were facing each other, occupying one side each, making Yu Guo sigh that the distance between them was enough for one more person to lie down.
The night passed quickly.
Nothing happened that night. Except for some strange noises coming from next door occasionally due to poor sound insulation in the building , everything else was fine.
Breakfast was still made by Sheng Guiye. I don’t know if it was because of the praise yesterday that made him really take on the task of cooking.
Although it was breakfast, Sheng Guiye still cooked porridge and made a few pies with the leftover meat from yesterday.
Even though he only slept half a night, Yu Guo was full of energy. He ate a pie while saying, "I didn't expect it to be Christmas Eve. I was ready when I heard a knock on the door in the middle of the night. I looked through the door and saw a pale face stuck to the peephole. Then I looked more carefully and found it was one of the two bodies downstairs."
Qiao Yuan: “…”
It seems that Yu Guo has indeed experienced quite a few copies before, and the only thing missing is to add a line of "Open the door quickly" to the two corpses.
As before, when Song Yanchi heard Yu Guo's words, he would either sneer or make some sarcastic remarks.
However, this time he did not say anything, but just frowned and looked at Sheng Guiye, and then asked directly: "Do you like my sister?"
Song Yanchi's words successfully made the remaining three people show three different expressions.
