On the way to the base, they had hunted quite a few low level zombies and they still had a few orbs left inside his dimensional space. Since Pei Ran thought that renting a place here in the central district should not be cheap, he exchanged them all for contribution points, receiving about 1000.

Since housing availability was controlled by the base, there would naturally be real estate agents. They were mostly normal people with no awakened abilities, but as they were working for the base, they looked fairly presentable. Pei Ran asked at reception and very quickly someone came to take on their case.

“There’s currently an opening on the fourth floor. The prices are all the same: 300 contribution points a month. Electricity and water is another fee. If you want to take it, you will have to pay three months of rent upfront.”

The agent speaking to them was a middle aged auntie. She looked a bit cold and distant and there was a sense of sharp barbs in her tone, making people feel a bit uncomfortable. Pei Ran headed up to the fourth floor and took a look at the empty room, which resembled a hotel room. It had one bedroom and one bathroom, which couldn’t be said to be quite big.

Pei Ran asked, 

“Are there any other options?”

The woman leaned over slightly, the ring of keys on her waist clanging together. She lifted her eyelids and said with a rough voice that sounded as if she was a chain smoker, especially when paired with her clothes that were full of a smoky smell from all the years she has been smoking, 

“Don’t bother. They are all the same size. At this time and age, do you think you can even live in your own house?”

Pei Ran didn’t want to argue with her as middle aged aunties, these kinds of beings, were quite scary from his memories. He looked over at Qu Yan, who he found was like air, silent and not speaking a word as he followed closely behind Pei Ran, and asked, 

“Is this room okay? If so, I’ll rent it.”

Qu Yan nodded his head as either way, he has never objected to whatever Pei Ran has suggested.

The two of them paid the fees downstairs and then completed all the paperwork before eating a simple meal. All in all, it took about half a day.

The room was very clean, without any dust. There was even a set of blankets to match. It was easy to tell that someone was tasked to clean every day. After camping in the open for several months, Pei Ran finally felt like a living human being after seeing that big bed and laid on it, unwilling to move.

Qu Yan sat on the couch beside the bed, and with a hand holding up his jaw, he quietly stared at Pei Ran as he rolled on the bed. Faint yellow sunlight was seeping through the gaps in the window curtains, shining a ray of light into the room. It just so happened to shine right on Qu Yan’s head. As his eyes squinted into slight slivers, the tips of his hair were caught in the rays of the sun and its glow dropped onto his eyelashes. His skin was highlighted as if it held the gentle warmth of jade, but he still projected a coldness that made it hard for people to approach him.

Under this kind of lighting, dust flew and hid themselves.

Pei Ran lay on the bed, so comfortable he didn’t want to get up. He stared at the ceiling, rustled the bed sheets and then recalling there were not even a hundred points left on his card, he imperceptibly sighed, 

“Out of orbs.”

Heading out to kill zombies had been a necessity, but now that they have time to eat and drink, even a resting place, who would be willing to go out.

He flipped over, looking sideways at Qu Yan. With half his arm lying on the bed, he hooked his fingers at Qu Yan and smiled as he asked, 

“How about you look after me?”

Qu Yan hadn’t even responded yet when the system rang out and said: 

[ Ding, no can do~ ]

Pei Ran quietly hid his face, absolutely annoyed to death by it, 

“I didn’t even ask you, so why are you even responding?”

Just when he was at his most agitated state, a sudden weight dropped onto him. His chin bumped into delicate, slightly cold flesh and it was Qu Yan who had climbed into his embrace. Qu Yan said with all seriousness,
