Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Awkward moments
As the two had finally finish ended their shift for the day, Xiaoyun took out the house number that Yuqi gave him.
"305... that is near the town's administrative building." Xiaoyun mumbled as he left the office with his suitcase.
Shuli was right in front of him as they both walked toward their house number.
Eventually, both of them stopped at 305.
"Um, Xiaoyun what's your number?" Shuli decided to ask as Xiaoyun stood behind her.
"It's 305, right next to the administrative building. A-Are you also in 305?" Xiaoyun realized what Yuqi had done.
"Oh um... I-I c-change it right now. L-Let me go back to the offi——" Xiaoyun interrupted Shuli before she could finish.
"All the houses is already full or reserved for the new people moving in tomorrow. It's fine, I can just sleep on the couch if you guys don't mind." Xiaoyun suggested.
"O-Okay, that's fine then." Shuli accepted it and opened the door.
"Hey Shuli welcome back... why are you here?" Wuli noticed Xiaoyun was behind Shuli.
"Um, Yuqi decided to pull a prank and assigned me the same house."
Xiaoyun thought of an excuse on the spot as he realized it was an setup by the four back home.
"How immature of her. She's already a mother and still do pranks like this? I need to tell Leyan about this." Wuli seem of believed Xiaoyun's excuse.
Shuli felt suspicious of the excuse but didn't point it out.
Xiaoyun looked around the house, it had pretty big living room that contained the kitchen and a table with four chairs. With two doors which Xiaoyun assumed to be the bedroom and restroom.
"Anyway, Shuli can you cook? I'm so hungry!" Wuli pulled Shuli's arm to the kitchen.
"Okay okay what did you brought today?" Shuli pushed Wuli's hand away as she stood in front of the countertop.
"Um, shit... I forgot to buy food." Wuli facepalmed herself.
"Don't worry, I can cook." Xiaoyun decided to speak up as he walked up to the other side of the countertop and started creating food.
"Oh right I almost forgot you can do that!" Wuli excitingly moved behind Xiaoyun.
Shuli suddenly felt jealous of Xiaoyun as all of Wuli's attention turned toward Xiaoyun.
"Why don't you just create the meal rather than cooking it?" Wuli curiously asked.
"It's hard to control the temperature when I create it... sometime its just completely cold." Xiaoyun explained as he started cooking on the stove top.
"I'm going to take a shower first." Shuli walked toward the bedroom with her suitcase.
"Me too! Tell us when you finish cooking okay? Thank you!" Wuli left the main room to the bedroom.
Both walked out with their pajama in their hand and went to the restroom next together.

"Shuli, why do you think Yuqi made Xiaoyun moved in with us? You know I don't have the brain to think about this kind of stuff." Wuli asked Shuli as she took off her cloths.
"I'm not sure... I have a feeling its not Yuqi that did this." Shuli replied back as she took off her cloths as well.
"You tell me he did this?" Wuli looked a little shock by Shuli's reply.
"No... I think its not him either... I feel like it's Leyan that directed Yuqi to do this." Shuli explained.
"Why would she do that?" Wuli looked confused by Shuli's explanation.
"I don't know." Despite saying this, Shuli's face blushes as she thought of the possible reasons.
"Come on, just tell me." Wuli pleaded as she noticed Shuli's face blushing.
"Fine fine... you know we got the highest position in the town right?" Shuli asked.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"How do you think they are going to trust us?"
"Um, we are Leyan's friend right?" Wuli thought about it for a second.
"That's not enough... we haven't talk to them for so long now. Beside, the only high positions are people close to him... like Yuqi." Shuli finally spills the beans.
Wuli realized what Shuli was trying to say as both their face were blushing now.
Shuli turned on the water and the two started showering in silent.
---
Just as Xiaoyun was finishing cooking, the two came out of the shower.
"You guys good?" Xiaoyun noticed the two being awkwardly silent.
"Yeah we are fine." The two sat down on the chair.
"Wow, it smell so good." Wuli noticed the Red braised pork belly on one of the plates.
"I used to be a chef you know." Xiaoyun carried the two bowls of rice to Shuli and Wuli.
"Really? I never knew that." Wuli replied as Shuli stayed silent the whole time.
After thirty minutes of eating...
"This is the best food I had eaten for months, the food was amazing." Wuli complimented Xiaoyun.
"Thank you thank you." Xiaoyun accepted the compliment.
Suddenly Shuli got up from her seat and hesitated for a second, then finally spoke out.
"Did Yuqi and Leyan sent you here on purpose?"
"Um... Yes." Xiaoyun paused for a second, then added.
"I don't know what had gotten in those two's mind, Leyan suggested this and Yuqi went through with it for me to... have sex with you guys. All just for me be able to trust you guys... Which is beyond stupid idea" Xiaoyun paused again.
"Like I trust Yiming and Yezi the same way I trust you two... I'm sorry about this, those two's are clearly out of their mind. I'll make sure this never happened again." Xiaoyun bowed down and apologized sincerely as he didn't get back up.
"I don't think he's acting." Wuli whispered to Shuli.
"Yeah." Shuli whispered back.
Wuli and Shuli both walked up and lifted Xiaoyun back up.
"It's not your fault... we understand their concern. I wouldn't trust someone who I haven't talk to for several years." Wuli replied first.
"I'll talk to Leyan later... she going to regret this." Shuli tone changed in anger.
Suddenly, Xiaoyun's phone ranged.
Xiaoyun looked at it and it was Leyan calling.
"Hello? What's the matter? Oh um... they already know what you were trying to to do. No, they aren't just going to do that. Please stop suggesting ideas like this, you know how awkward it is for me?" Xiaoyun started arguing back.
"What do you mean this is for their sake... Whatever." Xiaoyun hung up the phone.
"Was it Leyan?" Wuli asked.
"Yeah, it was Leyan asking how it's going... you guys can go to sleep I'll clean up the dishes and sleep on the couch."
The two wanted to help but Xiaoyun stopped the two and grabbed it before they could.
Xiaoyun started washing the dishes as the two left and went to the bedroom.
---
"Why would Leyan do this? I don't get it why would she want him to get more women? Not to mention Yuqi agreeing with her plan." Wuli still couldn't understand the reasoning.
"All four of them probably agreed to it... not just those two." Shuli added as she laid down on the bed.
"That doesn't make it any better... why would they want him to get us?" Wuli asked again.
"I told you, they want a way to make sure we won't ever betray him... no better way than being his wife." Shuli put it out bluntly.
"That's just ridiculous... that is such a backward way of thinking." Wuli complained.
"Well what do you think? You forgot it's a zombie apocalypse?" Shuli looked at Wuli as if she was a baby.
"Of course I know that, I'm literally went to the city to kill zombies!"
"Sometime I worry about your intelligent." Shuli sighed.
"That's why I have you right?" Wuli hugged Shuli closer.
"Yeah yeah, but we aren't always going to be together you know... we are about to be in our forties." Shuli pushed Wuli back a little.
"I don't want to separate with you though... I can't live without you." Wuli hugged even tighter.
The sink water sound stopped as if Xiaoyun had finished washing the dishes.
"You know Shuli... maybe we should just marry him." Wuli suddenly suggested.
"W-What? W-Why are you suggesting that?" Shuli looked shocked by Wuli's suggestion.
"I mean look at Leyan and her daughter... they are happy together with him. He's probably the only one that we can marry and be together with...
Beside, nobody will try to marry us with our position being so high up." Wuli gave her explanation.
"Wuli... when did you suddenly regain back your intelligent?" Shuli looked even more shock than earlier.
"I-I'm not that dumb okay? Anyway what do you think about my suggestion?" Wuli pushed Shuli to answer.
"I-I mean he's doesn't seem that bad... he has a caring heart and really care about Leyan and her daughter.
But I'm worry if we really do follow with that, we might be treated unfairly." Shuli raised her concern.
"I-I think you are watching too much historical drama. Those love drama aren't real. Beside, it's those four that wanted us to join them, why would they isolate us from them if they could of not let him go near us?" Wuli argued back.
"I-I guess you're right... Let's just go to sleep. I'm tired." Shuli yawned as she was already tired from the paperwork in the morning.
"Fine... goodnight." Wuli turned off the light.
