Zhou Wei felt awkward for a second upon hearing that, then he smiled at Su Dai and said,
“This girl must be Su Dai. We moved in quietly ourselves. In the middle of the night like this, we were afraid that knocking loudly would attract others, and then we wouldn’t be able to claim room 3203.
Also, we were afraid you might disagree, so we rushed it a bit just now. Sorry about that, haha.”
After Zhou Wei finished speaking, he reached up and scratched his head.
In fact, there wasn’t much hair on his head to scratch.
This subtle movement was naturally noticed by Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing across from him.
...
In principle, they were like Jiang Yan and didn’t want to interfere too much with others moving to the 32nd floor.
However, they didn’t have the same strength and confidence as Jiang Yan, so they still wanted to get to know and understand the new neighbors a little.
After all, they were all new faces, and they were afraid that they might accidentally let the wolf into the house.
“Yes, my wife is more than a month pregnant, and I didn’t want her to suffer in the hallway... Sorry for waking you up just now, please forgive us,” Wang Jin, who was beside Zhou Wei, also hurriedly said.
Listening to his words, Su Dai unconsciously glanced at Wen Wanli’s stomach.
But she saw Wen Wanli purse her lips and lower her head slightly, her gaze dodging away from Su Dai’s concentrated look.
Ye Qing’s gaze stayed on Zhou Wei.
Seeing that Zhou Wei had put the supplies he was carrying on the ground, but was still gripping the Door-breaking Hammer tightly in his other hand, he asked, “Where did you get that police Door-breaking Hammer?”
“This? I found it when I went out to look for supplies these past two days. I thought it could be used for self-defense, so I brought it back,” Zhou Wei answered directly, not avoiding the question.
Beside him, Wang Jin said, “Yeah, we also found some hot pot base and dried goods. Once we tidy up the place tomorrow, we invite you to our home for hot pot, as a housewarming party of sorts.”
He acted like Zhou Wei’s sidekick, always quick to fill in the blanks whenever the opportunity arose.
Sun Jingtao looked at the two of them, and politely said,
“We appreciate the thought, but we will pass on the hot pot. The rain is getting heavy now, and it might be difficult to find more supplies later on, so you’d better conserve your food. It’s also late now, so since you said you have a lock, remember to lock that door and get some rest early.”
After he finished speaking in one breath, he gave Ye Qing and Su Dai a look, and the three of them returned to their place.
“Alright, got it! Brother Tao!” Wang Jin, hearing Sun Jingtao’s words, winked at Zhou Wei.
The four of them didn’t enter right away as they stood at the door.
When the door of room 3204 closed with a “bang,” Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said,
He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside, although he did not see what it all meant.
It was too dark outside.
Sun Jingtao glanced out the window and said,
“The rain seems to be getting heavier from the sound of it. Looks like the official boats probably won’t come tomorrow.”
If the official boats didn’t come, it meant that some of the people who would have been evacuated would now stay.
If the heavy rain continued, and the water levels kept rising, it would mean living space would get smaller and the living conditions would become increasingly difficult.
“Ah, looks like our plan to look for supplies has been scrapped. Good thing we found some these past few days,” Su Dai said with a sigh, then resting her cheeks on her hands, she continued,
“The noise from when those few people broke down the door was pretty loud. I wonder if Jiang Yan was woken up by it. If this heavy rain keeps up, I guess people from downstairs will come up and squeeze into the hallway too.
At that point, the 32nd floor won’t be quiet anymore.”
Sun Jingtao took a breath and said, “There’s nothing we can do about that. As long as it’s not Ma Longbiao and his gang coming up, I have no objections to other people.”
Su Dai nodded and then suggested,
“Husband, shall we ask Jiang Yan over tomorrow to discuss things and hear her opinion? We’re planning to bake the fish tomorrow; let’s invite her to join us.”
Sun Jingtao looked at Ye Qing and said, “That’s fine.”
The three of them sat and talked about other potential situations and strategies before each retired to their own rooms.
3201.
Jiang Yan, after listening to Zhou Wei’s self-introduction, didn’t keep an eye on the surveillance anymore.
Mostly because she was too tired.
Also, her stomach hurt too much, with a pain that tugged at her insides.
So she had to lie down on the bed temporarily, holding a fully charged hand warmer against her lower abdomen, curling up her body trying to force herself to fall asleep.
When you’re asleep, it doesn’t hurt.

The next day.
Jiang Yan was awakened by a noisy music sound coming from the central garden’s water surface.
