Chapter 108: Chapter 078 What am I guarding, what am I expecting, and what am I pursuing_2 Open the door. "Little Yan, do you need something?" He had intended to call her Miss Yan, but she had told him before that she could be referred to as Nini or Little Yan. Of course, the name Nini didn’t seem appropriate. In Sunshine District, there were already Feifei, Tingting, Mengmeng, and Jiujiu, adding another Nini just felt weird. Standing at the door, Yan Nini had recovered very well, her beauty had reached its peak, and her figure was very nice, wearing jeans, she had an indescribable charm. "Lin Fan, may I come in and talk?" Yan Nini’s cheeks were slightly flushed, as if she had something difficult to express. "Sure." Lin Fan stepped aside, making way in the hallway for her to come in, "You’re the second young woman to come to my place, the first was my neighbor, but I killed her." As Yan Nini stepped into the house and heard these words, her complexion changed with shock, clearly startled. "Lin Fan, you do say the funniest things," chuckled Yan Nini. She simply couldn’t believe Lin Fan would do such a thing. Although she hadn’t known him for long, Yan Nini could feel that Lin Fan had a warm heart, that he was a kind person with a lot of spirit. Lin Fan smiled and didn’t explain; some things are better left unsaid, the more you explain, the more confusing it becomes. Since she thought his comment was funny, let it be just that. The living room, the sofa. Lin Fan brought over some tea, having a guest over meant there wasn’t much to offer, but at least he had the basics like hot water. Then he sat down at a safe distance from Yan Nini. "Little Yan, is something the matter?" Lin Fan asked. She had come looking for him right after lunch, so it likely wasn’t just small talk. Her face gave her away. Of course, even if it was just a casual chat, he was patient enough to converse casually. After all, in a post-apocalyptic world, aside from himself, everyone seemed to be repressing something, their spirits suffering in one way or another. He thought he might want to rent a book on psychology from the library and study it so that once he had some expertise, he could offer psychological counseling. Perhaps it could also earn him some side income to help with household expenses. "Lin Fan, could you help me buy some stuff? My ’relative’ is visiting," said Yan Nini shyly. "Relatives..." Lin Fan was momentarily taken aback, then suddenly, he understood, "Oh, I get it, I know. I actually forgot to stock up on those supplies. What brand and style do you need?" He wasn’t ignorant, getting the hint. A woman’s period with bleeding and cramps was indeed troublesome in an apocalyptic world. "Whatever is fine," Yan Nini mumbled, not expecting Lin Fan to be so forthright with his question. Although it wasn’t something to be embarrassed about, she had only known Lin Fan for two days, and the directness of the inquiry made her feel a bit weird. "This is a personal item, ’whatever’ can’t be too careless; comfort is the most important thing. If it’s not comfortable, it defeats the purpose. I’ve seen a former colleague use them, I think she used Sophie. What do you think about Sophie?" Lin Fan said. "Sure," Yan Nini nodded. "Alright then, don’t worry. I’ll be going out this afternoon and will bring them back for you." Lin Fan thought about Li Jie and Yang Hui’s needs; they would definitely need them too. As for the two grannies, they surely wouldn’t, considering their age they shouldn’t have this kind of need. "Thank you, Lin Fan." Yan Nini was grateful. The apocalypse was really unfriendly to women, the inconvenience of menstruation without sanitary pads was hard to manage. Logically, if the apocalypse had to come, it should have at least relieved women from their periods, that would have been fairer. "No need to thank me. I’m the security guard of Sunshine District, protecting the district is my job, and running errands is fine too. As for the travel cost, fifty bucks will do; it’s on my way anyway," Lin Fan said with a smile. He thought about the hundred bucks Yan Nini had tipped him before, and now, he was about to earn fifty back, which felt pretty good. "Ok, that’s fine," Yan Nini could somewhat understand Lin Fan’s reasoning. The old master had taught them how to interpret Lin Fan’s way of thinking, and it seemed logical and without issue. ... The water facility. Lin Fan hadn’t rested for long at home before he took Wang Kai to patrol the water facility, a daily necessity. The water from the facility supplied the entire city, crucial for every survivor. Lin Fan and his dog followed Wang Kai. With Lin Fan’s protection, Wang Kai had no fear. Standing in front of the machinery, he fiddled with it slowly, and checked carefully for any unnoticed issues; there was no rush, they had time. After quite some time. "Lin Fan, it’s done, we can go back now," Wang Kai said. It was at the water facility where he felt useful. No one wants to be seen as useless. In the past, he liked to slack off at the facility, but now, he was the only one capable of operating the equipment and understanding the facility’s process. If he didn’t do it, who would? It wasn’t just about supplying water to Sunshine District, but to other survivors as well. On the way back, they crossed the earlier bridge. Music sounded from beneath the bridge. It was pumping. As if a party was going on. After parking the electric bike, they stopped at the head of the bridge and looked down to see a yacht moving along the river. There were people dancing on the yacht, and some sitting by the side, fishing. "They’re survivors," Wang Kai said. "I see them, a total of five people, three women and two men," Lin Fan nodded. This was the first time he had seen survivors on the river.
