Chapter 142: Torturous Night

Xiu Wu’s mind was busy recalling their conversation at this moment. Judging by Zhu Lin’s words and body language when she invited him into her bedroom, he was pretty sure she really invited him to sleep with her.

While Xiu Wu was thinking, Zhu Lin waited patiently for him to answer her question.After waiting for a long time and not hearing his response, Zhu Lin frowned slightly and removed his arms from her waist.

She stood calmly in front of him and said, "I will sleep here, and you will sleep over there."

After saying that, Zhu Lin calmly took off her shoes and lay on the bed. Seeing that he was still standing there staring at her blankly, Zhu Lin yawned and said, "We only had a few hours of sleep. Go to bed early."

Not long after, Xiu Wu heard her steady and slow breathing. He took a deep breath and lowered his head. Seeing his physical condition down there, he sighed helplessly and walked into the bathroom. After staying in the bathroom for a long time, Xiu Wu came out with wet hair.

He stood by the bed and stared at the sleeping Zhu Lin. Then he looked at the bowl of water placed in the middle of the bed. After a long silence, he sighed helplessly again and then lay on the other side of the bed. That night, Xiu Wu took two more cold showers because of Zhu Lin’s moaning in her sleep.

Five hours later, when Zhu Lin woke up, she was shocked to see two deep dark circles under Xiu Wu’s eyes. Sitting on the bed, she looked at him confusedly while thinking: ’Why does he look more tired when sleeping on the bed than on that small sofa?’

Xiu Wu sat up and stared at her helplessly. Seeing Zhu Lin looking at him with confusion, he ruffled his hair in frustration and thought to himself: ’It seems that she still regards me as a baby, and not a man.’

Seeing him like this, Zhu Lin was surprised and asked worriedly: "Xiu Wu, are you having a nightmare last night?"

Listening to her question, Xiu Wu looked at her silently, while thinking in his heart: ’I didn’t have a nightmare, but I had a spring dream and spent a night of sweet torture while laying beside you. It was truly the most torturous night of my life.’

Seeing that he was just staring at her, Zhu Lin raised her hand and waved it in front of Xiu Wu and asked, "What’s wrong with you? You have been acting weird since last night."

Xiu Wu shook his head, got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and said, "I’m fine. I just feel a little hot."

Leaving these words behind, he walked into the bathroom and closed the door. Zhu Lin looked at the closed bathroom door and muttered: "Is there something wrong with the temperature controlling temperature?"

With this thought, she got out of bed and walked to the living room. Seeing Tu Tu busy feeding the children, she smiled and said, "Tu Tu, good morning."

The rabbit raised its head, looked at her, and said: "Good morning, Master."

Zhu Lin looked at the cereals in the children’s bowls and asked, "What do you feed to the children?"

Tu Tu shook its head and said, "I don’t know, but the children like it very much. I found a lot of these things in a warehouse area not far from here."

Listening to Tu Tu’s words, Zhu Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Did you go out yesterday?"

The rabbit nodded and said, "Yes. I have heard humans say before that children need to eat nutritious food and live happily. Since we only have the fruits, vegetables and staples you grow, I decided to go out and find a wider variety of food for the children. But I’m only gone for an hour, and the older children can take care of the younger children."

After listening to Tu Tu’s explanation, Zhu Lin thought for a while and asked, "How did you find out about that warehouse area?"

Tu Tu pointed to the ceiling and said, "The little zombie showed me the way. It said there are many places like that warehouse area, and there are a lot of supplies piled up in those places. It also said we have to collect them as soon as possible before the supplies spoil."

When Zhu Lin heard Tu Tu’s words, she thought about it for a moment and said, "Tu Tu, I will give you a task."

The rabbit’s long ears stood up when it heard her words. Tu Tu looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Master, you finally gave me a task. What do you want me to do?"

Zhu Lin pointed to the ceiling and said, "With the help of that little zombie, collect as much supplies as possible. We want to build a base, so we need a lot of supplies. Although I can use seeds to grow food, in addition to food, humans also need more things such as medicine, clothes, and other daily necessities."

Tu Tu nodded, patted its chest with its furry paws, and said, "Yes, master. Leave this matter to me."

Zhu Lin then took out more than ten Qiankun bags from the ice flower pendant and said, "You can put the supplies here. If you fill them up, find me to get more Qiankun bags."

Tu Tu looked at those divine grade artifacts speechlessly and thought to itself: ’Does my master know how big the space is inside these divine grade Qiankun bags?’

Although Tu Tu was speechless, Tu Tu still took the Qiankun bags from Zhu Lin and put them into its spirit palace. Tu Tu then looked at her and said, "Master, I will leave after feeding the children."

Hearing what Tu Tu said, Zhu Lin nodded. She then picked up a piece of cereal from the opened cereal box and tasted it curiously.
