Lin Sijia took a deep breath and hurriedly took Mo Qi from Zhao Hao’s shoulder.

“What happened to Mo Qi?!”

Lin Sijia knew Mo Qi’s strength. After all, she was present when Mo Qi practiced.

“It’s okay. Eating is more important. Eat first.”

Lin Sijia was stunned for a moment, but she was no longer as excited as before. Now, she was full of worry and was thinking about Mo Qi. After all, they had lived together for so long after the apocalypse. Even if Lin Sijia did not treat Mo Qi as a family member, she had long treated Mo Qi as her younger sister.

“The dishes are out. You and Brother Zhao eat first. I’ll go and take a look at Mo Qi.”

“Is she injured? Why did she faint? Did something happen to you?”

Ye Xingchen didn’t stand on ceremony with Lin Sijia. He was tired and anxious, and he was indeed hungry. After all, he wanted to come back early in the morning, so he only had a few bites of breakfast before driving back. Not to mention him, even Zhao Hao was hungry.

“Something happened, but she fainted mainly because someone drugged her.”

Ye Xingchen led Zhao Hao to his seat. He picked up the rice that was already served and stuffed it into his mouth.

“I don’t know what drug it is. It’s been so long. Come over and eat first. A whole night has passed, it can wait.”

Ye Xingchen was quite relaxed. After all, from the tone of Mo Guanshan and the others, the tea and food should not have been poisoned.

After all, they weren’t fools. They wouldn’t poison their own food. They cherished their lives. Wouldn’t poisoning their food be suicide? Mo Guanshan and the others weren’t that foolish.

Therefore, at least this drug would not be fatal.

As for why Mo Qi was unconscious for so long, Ye Xingchen guessed that the drug was probably something like knockout powder. As for why she was unconscious for so long, it was nothing more than Mo Qi being too greedy and eating too much.

Lin Sijia hesitated for a moment, but she still placed Mo Qi on the sofa to examine her.

Just as Ye Xingchen had guessed, the food that Mo Qi had eaten had been laced with GHB, which was the so-called obedient drug in the legends.

The government had banned the circulation of such things, but it did not mean that they could not be obtained in the black market.

Lin Sijia frowned. It was not that they had not come into contact with this kind of thing before. It was extremely harmful to the human body. It injured the central nervous system. However, there was no antidote for it. They could only wait for Mo Qi to wake up.

“What did she eat?”

Lin Sijia was very unhappy. How could Mo Qi eat such things when she was still growing?

Ye Xingchen was almost done eating. He didn’t leave any food for Lin Sijia. He and Zhao Hao had already cleaned up. He took out a few of Lin Sijia’s favorite dishes from the space.

“The people in the safety fortress gave us a welcome gift. Brother Zhao and I didn’t drink much. But I didn’t keep an eye on Mo Qi, so she ate a lot.”

The meal was dull. Zhao Hao went downstairs after lunch. Lin Sijia’s eyes turned red as she ate.

“This thing is very harmful to the body. Mo Qi is only so old. I’m afraid that it will hurt her nerves.”

Upstairs, Ye Xingchen was coaxing Lin Sijia, while downstairs, Li Anran was complaining to Zhao Hao.

“You didn’t even reply to my message. I thought you were missing.”

Li Anran punched Zhao Hao in the chest.

She wasn’t that worried about Zhao Hao. Compared to Zhao Hao, she was actually more worried about what would happen to Ye Xingchen.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Hao and Ye Xingchen had been gone for so long. Li Anran even had a faint hope in her heart that something bad would happen to Zhao Hao. Then, Ye Xingchen would come back alone to apologize to her and give her some compensation.

It would be best if Ye Xingchen could keep her and support her for the rest of her life.

In the end, she did not expect Zhao Hao to return with Ye Xingchen unscathed. He was not injured at all, and he was empty-handed.

“You, why did you come back empty-handed?”

This was the first thing Li Anran said after seeing Zhao Hao.

As soon as she said this, not only was Zhao Hao stunned, but even Li Anran herself was stunned. She did not expect to say what was on her mind.

“Are you hurt? Aiyo, you didn’t come back for so long and didn’t reply to my messages. 1 was so worried.”

Li Anran held Zhao Hao’s hand and sized him up from head to toe. In her heart, she was thinking about this useless trash. After following Ye Xingchen out for so long, he actually didn’t get anything good back.

Zhao Hao’s eyes darkened. He pulled his hand away from Li Anran’s and walked over to the sofa.

“I’m not injured. Have you eaten?”

Zhao Hao had been away for more than a day, and Li Anran’s food had been sent over by Lin Sijia. It was nothing more than instant noodles, bread, biscuits, and the like. When she heard that Zhao Hao and the others had returned, Li Anran hurriedly cooked the instant noodles that Lin Sijia had given her and ate them.

After all, there was only one bowl of instant noodles and one ham sausage. It was not enough for her and Zhao Hao to share.

Hearing Zhao Hao’s question, Li Anran rolled her eyes. “I haven’t eaten yet. I’m so worried about you that 1 can’t even eat. You heartless person, you tell me if I’ve eaten?!”

Originally, when Li Anran said this, Zhao Hao felt a little guilty because he had just finished lunch at Ye Xingchen’s place. The food was quite good.

However, before Zhao Hao could feel guilty for long, he walked into the kitchen where he smelled the strong scent of instant noodles.

Zhao Hao, who had been eating instant noodles for many years, could even tell it was pickled cabbage-flavored noodles. Moreover, the instant noodles must have been cooked not long ago.

Zhao Hao turned around and glanced at Li Anran. The guilt in his heart instantly faded.

“You didn’t eat? Then you eat first. I’m going to take a shower and sleep for a while. I’m a little tired.”

It could be said that Zhao Hao did not sleep at all last night.

He had been waiting by the window in the room.

That place was unfamiliar. Even if Ye Xingchen did not say it, Zhao Hao felt that he had the obligation to stand guard to ensure Ye Xingchen’s safety.

Zhao Hao barely slept the entire night, so he didn’t have much of an appetite in the morning. He only had a few bites with Ye Xingchen before coming back.

After taking a quick shower, Zhao Hao didn’t even look at Li Anran. He went straight into the room and lay on the bed.

For some reason, Zhao Hao suddenly remembered what Ye Xingchen had said to him before..
