What the Hell, Is This Place Haunted? — 3-in-1
Jun Yueyue had always felt that she would never experience such an internationally standard “sorry to disturb your affair” scene. After all, it was too melodramatic and too coincidental. But at this exact moment, Jun Yueyue really wanted to curse. It was all Fang Anyan’s fault!
In the middle of the night, he just had to talk, talk, talk. Talk about what? A hammer!
Jun Yueyue hurriedly tied the belt of her sleeping robe and quickly walked to Fang Anyu. She reached down and felt around herself, only to realise she did not have her phone. Her vision went dark for a second, and she quickly ran back into the room to get it.
This left Fang Anyan and Fang Anyu standing in the corridor, looking at each other from some distance away. Fang Anyan opened his mouth, trying to explain, but then remembered that his brother could not hear him. He could only shut his mouth, irritably grab at his own hair, walk forward, and reach out to pull Fang Anyu’s arm.
But his hand missed.
Fang Anyu dodged.
He dodged.
Fang Anyan stood frozen like his pressure point had been struck, lowering his head to look at the hand that had been avoided. How could that feeling be described? It was like someone had clawed at his heart, and that part of his chest suddenly felt empty.
Ever since they were young, Fang Anyu had always stood behind Fang Anyan. No matter when Fang Anyan turned back, no matter when he reached out, his older brother had always been within reach.
But right now, Fang Anyu would not let him touch him.
The shock in Fang Anyan’s heart was indescribable. He raised his eyes and met Fang Anyu’s gaze. In Fang Anyu’s eyes, he saw possessiveness he had never once seen there before, from childhood until now.
In the past, whether it was toys, food, drink, or anything else, Fang Anyu had never shown possessiveness. After a long time, Fang Anyan had even felt that his brother did not seem to like anything. This kind of aggressive stare made Fang Anyan feel unfamiliar, and also at a loss.
So his brother could look at people like this too? He also had things others could not touch? He also had a reverse scale?
Fang Anyan subconsciously took a step back. But then he immediately reacted. He had not stolen his brother’s thing! He was doing this for his brother’s own good…
At this moment, Jun Yueyue also came out of the room with her phone. As she walked, she had already typed something and directly held it in front of Fang Anyu’s eyes.
You absolutely must not misunderstand. Fang Anyan and I have nothing between us. He only said he wanted to talk to me. What he asked about was you. He asked what intentions I have toward you. He’s afraid I’m using you. There was really nothing else!
This explanation was quite clear, but Jun Yueyue still felt it was not enough, so she added another sentence at the end:
I only came out to drink water. The water dispenser in the room was broken!
Fang Anyu lowered his head and looked at it for a while. He did not take the phone to type. Instead, after glancing at Jun Yueyue, he directly pulled her back into the room, leaving Fang Anyan alone in the corridor.
Fang Anyan wanted to cry. His brother would not even give him a chance to explain…
After Jun Yueyue and Fang Anyu entered the room, Fang Anyu pulled her wrist and quickly walked to the water dispenser beside the living room table. He pointed at the water dispenser with his other hand. Jun Yueyue looked down and immediately felt her vision go dark again. Fuck, when had this bastard thing started working again?
She had come over in a daze earlier, and it really had been broken and would not dispense water. That was why Jun Yueyue had opened the door and gone out, planning to find a drink outside…
She quickly took her phone and typed rapidly:
Brother, you have to believe me. It really was broken just now, so I went outside to find a drink. As for what your brother was doing outside, I really don’t know! He was the one who pulled me, saying he wanted to talk to me. If you don’t believe me, ask him!
If she did not shift the blame now, when would she?
Jun Yueyue felt the grip on her arm getting heavier and heavier, and her scalp tingled. Fang Anyu still did not type, nor did he indicate whether he believed what Jun Yueyue said. He only pulled Jun Yueyue, opened the door again, and sure enough, Fang Anyan was still standing at the door.
Fang Anyu took the phone and asked Fang Anyan why he was not sleeping in the middle of the night. Fang Anyan naturally told the truth. He said that he had drunk too much water at night, which was why he had gotten up several times to use the bathroom. But the toilet in his room was clogged and would not flush. He was too lazy to deal with it in the middle of the night, so he went to the living room to find a bathroom…
Then things became magical…
The three of them went together to Fang Anyan’s room and entered his bedroom bathroom together. Before Fang Anyu pressed the toilet flush, Jun Yueyue said to Fang Anyan, “I’m telling you, this is a huge problem. Before I went downstairs to find a drink, the water dispenser was clearly broken. Just now, when Anyu pulled me over to look, that dog thing was suddenly working again…”
Before Jun Yueyue could finish speaking, the sound of the toilet flushing rang out.
Not only did it work, but the suction was especially strong…
Fang Anyu did not turn his head. He just stared at the toilet as if a flower had grown on it. Jun Yueyue and Fang Anyan, however, looked at each other at the same time and saw in each other’s eyes an emotion called horror.
“Fuck, this place is haunted!” Fang Anyan directly cursed. Jun Yueyue pressed hard at her own forehead a couple of times, feeling indescribably frustrated.
Fang Anyan still refused to believe it. He went up and pressed it again. Once again, the sound of flushing rang out. In this quiet and narrow space, it did not sound even the slightest bit like it was about to break. The suction was so powerful that Jun Yueyue wanted to shove Fang Anyan’s head inside and flush him away.
For a long while, Fang Anyu did not turn around and showed no reaction. Behind him, Jun Yueyue and Fang Anyan were already cursing each other as idiots and rolling up their sleeves, about to start fighting.
“How fucking bad are your kidneys? Drink a little water and you run to the toilet several times in one night?! The toilet in your own room can’t even hold you, so you run downstairs?” Jun Yueyue sneered. “That won’t do. If your kidneys are sick, you need treatment!”
What man could withstand being told his kidneys were bad? He had drunk two pots of tea at night. What was wrong with peeing a few times?!
“Heh.” Fang Anyan sneered. “Whether my kidneys are good or not has nothing to do with you in this lifetime. You don’t need to worry about that. As for you, running downstairs for water in the middle of the night because there isn’t enough water in your room—just how thirsty and desperate are you?”
Jun Yueyue had been King Kong Barbie in the apocalypse for so many years. If she really had a good temper, that would be strange. After hearing this, she did not reply. Instead, she turned and left the bathroom, searched around, and casually opened Fang Anyan’s display cabinet where he kept his golf clubs. After taking one out, she swung it through the air. It felt very handy. Then she swung it straight toward Fang Anyan’s head as he followed her out.
She did not hold back with this swing. If it hit, even if she did not send his brains flying, she could definitely split his head open. Fang Anyan had still had his hands on his waist, ready to continue arguing with Jun Yueyue. He had not expected this fierce woman to come up and try to beat him to death directly. His reaction was fast enough. He crouched down and dodged Jun Yueyue’s first swing, but he failed to dodge Jun Yueyue’s follow-up crotch kick.
Squatting on the ground, forget dodging—he could not even speak. Jun Yueyue twisted her neck, making cracking sounds. The violent emotion in her heart could not be suppressed. She was like a blade that rarely left its sheath, but once unsheathed, could not return without seeing blood.
She stood to Fang Anyan’s side, swung the golf club twice, and measured the angle toward his head. She adjusted the force according to this body’s strength so she would not kill him in one blow, but would ensure he would not dare provoke her so easily in the future. Otherwise, a misunderstanding like tonight’s might very likely become an unresolved knot between her and Fang Anyu.
Fang Anyan watched Jun Yueyue measure him with the club, but he was hunched and kneeling on the floor, unable to move at all. His face turned pale, and his lips trembled. Jun Yueyue gave him a feeling he had never experienced before. For him, it was a feeling of standing shoulder to shoulder with death.
The last time they had chatted in the pavilion, Jun Yueyue had merely spoken, yet it had made him feel creeped out for several days. Today, Fang Anyan finally thoroughly understood. The things she had said were not jokes. This woman was a lunatic!
Seeing Jun Yueyue raise the golf club toward his skull, Fang Anyan deeply regretted bringing this thing into his house for no reason…
Fang Anyan could even hear the sound of the club cutting through the air. In despair, he closed his eyes.
But in that critical moment, there was suddenly a thunderclap so loud it seemed to split heaven and earth. Jun Yueyue shivered from fright, and the force in her hand loosened. Then the golf club was caught by Fang Anyu, who had come out of the bathroom at some unknown time.
Fang Anyan had originally shut his eyes tightly from fear, but after hearing the thunder, he also trembled. The pain he expected did not arrive. When he opened his eyes, he saw that his brother had caught the golf club and was looking at Jun Yueyue.
Jun Yueyue did not hesitate for even a second. Like a child caught doing something bad, she immediately threw away the golf club and looked helplessly at Fang Anyu. Almost instantly, she went from a violent state back to normal.
She ran to Fang Anyu’s side, took the golf club out of his hand, threw it onto the floor, and rubbed and blew on his palm, mumbling, “Aiya, did that hurt… let me blow…”
At this moment, Fang Anyan truly believed that this woman had transferred her affections to his brother. The dog-legged way this woman held his brother’s hand was exactly the same as when she had once circled around him calling him “Brother Anyan.”
Crack, crack, crack—
Thunder kept exploding in the sky. Lightning tore across the night, briefly illuminating heaven and earth as brightly as daylight.
In the end, Fang Anyu pulled Jun Yueyue away. Fang Anyan remained in the room and recovered for a long time before crawling onto his bed. He curled up sadly and decided that from now on, he would no longer interfere in matters between his brother and this woman.
Jun Yueyue could truly feel that Fang Anyu was angry. Specifically, this was shown by his refusal to communicate and by the way he gripped her wrist so tightly that Jun Yueyue felt her bones might crack.
But she had already explained. That situation really had been fucking awful, almost as if the heavens were playing with her and Fang Anyan. If Fang Anyu still believed their explanations easily like before and did not seek proof, Jun Yueyue would actually be sad.
Because she had spent a long time instilling the idea into Fang Anyu that “liking someone means wanting them all to yourself.” Looking at it now, the fact that he had not asked for the three of them to live happily together truly meant the effect was quite abundant!
Jun Yueyue’s wrist hurt. She had been pulled by Fang Anyu and made to stand by the bed for a long time. Outside, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the heavy rain silently went wild again. But her heart felt sweet.
This mood was like a mother teaching a child to eat for the first time, with an exploding sense of achievement. Of course, this analogy was not entirely accurate, but it could not be denied that she liked being “possessed” by Fang Anyu like this.
She had slept all day, so she had not been sleeping soundly at night anyway. Jun Yueyue simply was not very sleepy. Ignoring the pain in her wrist, seeing that Fang Anyu stood there unmoving, she quietly moved closer to him and leaned her head against his arm. Looking at the lightning and thunder outside that tore the sky apart again and again, her heart was utterly calm.
In her previous life, the strange signs before the apocalypse had appeared just as frequently as they did now. But the panic she had felt under the extreme weather back then could not compare to her peace of mind now.
Because the temperature outside had dropped from the rain, mist had appeared on the floor-to-ceiling window. Jun Yueyue did not try to pull away from Fang Anyu’s hand. She even stretched out her other hand and began drawing on the glass.
Two little stick figures stood together hand in hand, smiling on the window, just like the smile on her face right now.
She was not anxious. She very patiently waited for Fang Anyu to think things through, or waited for his mood to pass so she could properly communicate and explain.
When Jun Yueyue decided to be with him, she had known he was not normal. She had already prepared herself for all kinds of problems that might appear once they truly got together. So she might want to crack Fang Anyan’s skull open after he said a few wrong words, but she would not feel even the slightest unhappiness because Fang Anyu pulled her to stand until her legs went sore in the middle of the night.
The longer he struggled, the better. That meant he cared about her more. Jun Yueyue’s hand had gone numb because the blood was not flowing through her wrist, and her fingers had turned bluish white. Even so, she did not struggle once.
Who knew how long they stood there. Jun Yueyue had drawn the third batch of little stick figures, and the heavy rain outside had gradually lightened, before Fang Anyu finally released Jun Yueyue and pulled her to sit by the bed. He kneaded her hand, which had turned cold from being gripped by him.
Jun Yueyue looked at his lowered brows and tightly pressed lips, then leaned closer and kissed him on the lips.
Fang Anyu raised his eyes to look at Jun Yueyue. His eyes were still so clear and gentle. Jun Yueyue kissed his moving Adam’s apple too. Fang Anyu’s eyelashes fluttered. He wrapped an arm around the back of Jun Yueyue’s head and lowered his head to seal her lips.
Everything that followed was so sudden and unexpected, yet also seemed natural. Jun Yueyue clutched the quilt with one hand and tightly gripped the gap between the headboard and the wall with the other. That person who was always so gentle it made one’s heart ache exploded for the first time with passion and possessiveness that were difficult to endure. Jun Yueyue was mentally very happy, but physically a little unable to take it…
Dawn came, and the thunderstorm stopped.
Sweat slid down Jun Yueyue’s soft arm that hung over the edge of the bed. Her curls were damp and stuck to the side of her face, neck, and back, like vines tangled around her body. At this moment, she truly could not say a single word. She lay buried in the quilt, motionless.
There was the sound of water splashing somewhere. Jun Yueyue could not quite tell whether it was still raining outside or whether Fang Anyu was showering in the bathroom. She was too lazy to lift her head and look. Her body and those unspeakable areas felt sticky and uncomfortable, but she curled her fingertips and thought, fuck it all, she needed rest. Then she fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke again, it was noon. Her body felt fairly refreshed, and even her hair carried a fragrance. She must have been washed. The quilt had also been changed. Just how deeply had she slept?
There was a ring of bruising around her wrist, but medicine had already been applied. The adhesive on her palm had also been changed. It itched uncomfortably.
She heard sounds from the living room. She climbed out of bed, casually gathered her hair, and got off the bed. Then her knees went weak, and with a bang, she fell flat on the floor…
“Ah…” The moment she opened her mouth, her voice was a little hoarse too. Jun Yueyue recalled last night, and her legs became even weaker. She could not get up.
Fang Anyu came in barefoot, without making even the slightest sound. Jun Yueyue raised her head to look at him. He reached out, gathered Jun Yueyue up, lifted her, and placed her back on the bed. Then he turned and left the room, returning with the medicine box. He massaged the knee she had hit yesterday and the injury on her wrist.
Jun Yueyue lay on the bed, blinking as she looked at Fang Anyu. It was hard to imagine that someone like him, whose whole person was like a marshmallow, could be so wild in bed.
Strictly speaking, the two of them had only done it three times. The first time, her mind had been muddled and she did not remember clearly, but she did remember that Fang Anyu had been very passive. Even when he later became a little active, he had been clumsy.
The second time had been so gentle it felt like dancing on clouds.
The third time, aiya, Jun Yueyue felt like a piece of meat on a chopping board, turned over and over however someone wanted to cut her. If they wanted to chop her into chunks, they chopped her into chunks. If they wanted to slice her, they sliced her…
Even a clay figurine had three parts temper. Once this little fool was provoked, he was actually quite frightening. Jun Yueyue could not help laughing. But for some reason, Fang Anyu was avoiding her gaze a little. As Jun Yueyue laughed, his ears began turning red, and soon his whole person was red like a boiled shrimp.
The fingers massaging Jun Yueyue’s wrist were so hot they almost burned.
Seeing him turn this red, Jun Yueyue could not help raising her brows and making a teasing sound. She turned around to look for her phone but did not see it. When she turned back, she saw Fang Anyu had taken out the phone and typed something for her to see:
Sorry.
Jun Yueyue took it. After reading it, her smile deepened.
Why are you apologising to me? Aren’t you angry?
I made you hurt last night. Sorry.
Jun Yueyue laughed. Actually, it really had not hurt. Someone like Fang Anyu, whose gentleness came from his bones, would not forget to look after her feelings even when he was upset. Other than being tired, she was not injured anywhere.
But since this little fool had said that, she definitely had to put on an act and tease him a little.
Exactly. I thought you were going to kill me. I was scared to death.
Fang Anyu quickly took the phone and typed:
I’m sorry. I won’t dare do it again!
Jun Yueyue laughed out loud. She reached out, hugged Fang Anyu’s head, and ran her fingers through his curls, manually rubbing the panic on his face out of shape. After kissing him, she typed:
No, it didn’t hurt. I’m your woman. You decide what you want to do. What are you afraid of?
After Fang Anyu read it, the corners of his mouth could not help lifting. Afternoon sunlight spilled in through the bedroom window, warming them. Jun Yueyue typed again:
Are you still angry? Everything I said last night was true. I didn’t lie to you, and I won’t lie to you. I really went downstairs for a drink because the water dispenser wasn’t working.
Fang Anyu pressed his forehead against Jun Yueyue’s, their noses touching. After reading it, he nodded and typed:
It really was broken. I tried to get water this morning and nothing came out.
Jun Yueyue: …Fuck its mother!
She immediately felt deeply wronged. She had been turned over and over and dealt with wildly for an entire night, only for that bastard thing to break neither earlier nor later, but to suddenly work when she went to check it, then break again when no one was watching!
She lay on the bed like a worn-out little rag, her eyes empty, her heart full of alpacas jumping up and down. Fang Anyu hugged her and tried to help her sit up, but she went limp again. Thinking she was angry, he half-knelt by the bed and typed:
I really was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted what you said. I won’t dare do it again. Don’t be angry.
Could Jun Yueyue be angry? No. Because she was the one who had taught Fang Anyu not to believe whatever people said, not to casually split love among three people, not to casually become someone’s little lover. Love could not be shared.
In that situation last night, who would have believed it?
Could she say Fang Anyu was wrong? That would be slapping her own face!
Jun Yueyue smiled more miserably than if she were crying, but still typed:
I don’t blame you. I’m not angry. I’m angry at that water dispenser that works and breaks whenever it wants!
That matter was considered over. It had simply been a disaster from nowhere. It did not cause any estrangement between the two of them, but Jun Yueyue was still left unable to get up for most of the day after being thoroughly dealt with by Fang Anyu last night.
It was not until evening that she recovered some strength. Jun Yueyue went downstairs to eat and happened to run into Fang Anyan in the living room after he came home from work.
Jun Yueyue immediately put down the hand that had been supporting her poor old waist and looked coldly at Fang Anyan. Fang Anyan also immediately straightened his back, forced his slightly clamped legs apart, and walked with his spine ramrod straight and an aggressive aura. It was just that he forced his legs a little too far apart, so he walked like Donald Duck.
Fang Anyu was frying eggs in the kitchen at this moment. After Jun Yueyue and Fang Anyan looked at each other with mutual disgust, they silently detoured eight zhang away from each other as they passed, each sticking close to the wall as if the other carried some deadly bacteria.
After Fang Anyan went upstairs, Jun Yueyue supported her old waist again. Fang Anyu just happened to walk out of the kitchen carrying fried eggs, and he smoothly wrapped an arm around Jun Yueyue’s waist and helped her sit by the table.
Fang Anyan did not come down for dinner. After Jun Yueyue returned to the room, Fang Anyu carried food over to Fang Anyan.
Jun Yueyue did not ask what they said. In any case, the brothers made up. When the three of them met again, the atmosphere could be considered harmonious.
The next day, Jun Yueyue woke early, refreshed and energetic. After climbing out of bed, she did not see Fang Anyu. When she walked to the living room, she saw him wearing a little apron, holding a small spray bottle for flowers, puffing water over the plants.
Not far from him was the fish tank. The two fish inside were eating fish food. The water was very clear; evidently, Fang Anyu had already changed the water for them too.
No matter what Fang Anyu did, he was extremely careful. Every flower leaf was evenly moistened. As Jun Yueyue watched, her face slowly turned red, as if she had become one of the flower leaves in Fang Anyu’s hands, every corner and every vein carefully nourished…
Ai, no. These past two days had been a little too indulgent.
Jun Yueyue had never had a man before and did not know what frequency was best for such things. But she felt as if Fang Anyu had hollowed her out these two days. The main symptom was her waist. Her poor old waist was always in a sore, aching state…
In contrast, Fang Anyu’s body, which usually did not exercise much, seemed to possess endless strength. This was not scientific!
The standing water outside had more or less receded. Jun Yueyue had originally wanted to go out and run under the morning sun to exercise, but while changing clothes in the bedroom, she bent down and somehow twisted something. In any case, she did not dare move anymore…
Fang Anyu happened to come in from outside. Seeing Jun Yueyue holding the wardrobe door in a strange posture, he quickly walked over and helped her up, supporting her back onto the bed.
He lowered his head slightly and carefully pulled down Jun Yueyue’s clothes that had ridden up. With eyes full of concern, he looked at her and typed on his phone:
What’s wrong? Did you twist somewhere?
His fine curls fell loosely. He reached out and carefully checked Jun Yueyue’s waist. Actually, after lying down for a moment, the brief cramping sensation had already disappeared. Jun Yueyue reached out, pressed down on Fang Anyu’s hand, and shook her head to show that she was fine.
Fang Anyu still gently turned her over and rubbed his palms warm before lightly massaging her waist.
Jun Yueyue lay face-down on the quilt with her face turned to the side, mumbling to herself, “What’s the use of rubbing… it’s still going to be sore tonight. If you’re capable, then when I say I can’t take it anymore, stop…”
She could not very well hold her phone during that kind of thing and type for Fang Anyu to see at the critical moment, right?
Not to mention how much that would ruin the atmosphere. Besides, when they were really doing that, Jun Yueyue could not type at all…
Although Fang Anyu was not a professional, his kneading was quite comfortable. Jun Yueyue mumbled for a while, glanced at the sunlight outside, and gave up on the idea of going out to run and exercise. She would wait until her strength recovered. Otherwise, it had only just rained outside. If she accidentally fell face-first into a mud pit, what then?
Fang Anyu turned her onto her side again. Jun Yueyue sighed and buried her head in the quilt, suffering and enjoying it at the same time. She had the illusion that spending every day tangled up with this little demon Fang Anyu would soon drain all her essence and leave her not long for this world.
In the afternoon, Jun Yueyue was lying on the sofa, admiring Fang Anyu as he fiddled with his few pots of flowers again, when Jun Yu called her.
Jun Yueyue answered and heard Jun Yu say, “Sister, come back to Xiude Town again. Grandfather really got angry because he couldn’t get through to you.”
Jun Yueyue lay on her side, looking against the fiery sunset at little angel Anyu not far from her, and said somewhat absentmindedly, “What am I supposed to say when I go back? That old man is too stubborn. I won’t inherit the Jun family. Just tell him what I said: I want to swap with you. I don’t need fifty percent of the shares. Just give me a little.”
Jun Yu continued persuading Jun Yueyue. “Sister, you know Grandfather’s personality too. Once he decides something, he won’t change it. Besides… I’ve already decided to go abroad for surgery. I won’t be able to recover for at least a year or so. So Sister, stop refusing.”
“What surgery?” When Jun Yueyue heard this, she quickly sat up. “What happened to you?”
The book had not written that the female lead needed any surgery, let alone that she went abroad…
“I’ve already had detailed examinations and consulted doctors. Although I’ve missed the best age,” Jun Yu paused, then continued, “I still have a twenty percent chance of standing up. Sister, the doctor said that if I accept the surgery, although I’ll lose a part of my body, maybe I’ll be able to stand with prosthetics.”
“I want to try. What if it works?”
When Jun Yu said these words, even through the phone, Jun Yueyue could feel her determination. But in the original book, the female lead had been in a wheelchair from beginning to end!
The author had never mentioned that her legs had any possibility of recovery. Moreover, this book was about a disabled girl’s counterattack. Now, not only had the business marriage and emotional development opportunity between the male and female leads been ruined.
If Jun Yu could stand up, then even if the male and female leads married in the future, would all those important opportunities for the male lead to carry the female lead around because she was disabled not disappear?
Jun Yueyue stood up from the sofa and turned half a circle on the floor. But hearing Jun Yu’s cheerful voice from the other end, Jun Yueyue opened her mouth yet could not say anything.
Was she supposed to advise someone not to get surgery? Just because of some bullshit love plot later on?
Jun Yueyue could not say such a thing. She was silent for a moment, simply throwing those bullshit plotlines aside, and asked the most important thing directly. “What about the risks? How serious are the risks of the surgery? If it doesn’t succeed, what will happen to you?”
Jun Yu was silent for a moment before saying, “The experts there said the risk is that I may undergo the surgery and have no change at all. It’s also possible… it may become more serious, and the areas without sensation may increase.”
“But Sister, don’t worry. This surgery basically isn’t life-threatening. And Grandfather has already hired a professional team to go abroad with me. Don’t worry about me.” Jun Yu’s voice became cheerful again. “So Sister, hurry and go see Grandfather. The Jun family needs you.”
Such a huge burden pressing down on her almost made Jun Yueyue unable to breathe. But Jun Yu’s surgery was such a big matter, so she could not say anything more. After spending so much time together, Jun Yu, like her, was a living person of flesh and blood. They were both in this novel now. Jun Yueyue had no way to treat her as an NPC, just as she had no way to control herself from liking Fang Anyu.
So in the end, Jun Yueyue reluctantly said, “Fine… I’ll go back and see the old man. But I won’t agree to inherit the Jun family. I think the old man’s body is quite strong. He can hold on for another three to five years with no problem. We’ll talk after you finish surgery and come back.”
“Sister…” Jun Yu still wanted to persuade her, but Jun Yueyue suddenly said, “I’m not saying more. The fish food is gone. I need to go out with Fang Anyu. Since the old man hired a professional team for your surgery, go and try with peace of mind. I wish you success.”
The call ended. Jun Yu turned to look at Old Master Jun, whose face was twisted with anger. Old Master Jun sneered. “Hmph. She doesn’t even call me Grandfather anymore, just for the sake of a fool?! What’s so special about that fool! Not long ago, she liked Fang Anyan to the point of life and death. Now she can’t get out of the circle of those two Fang brothers. I think she’s lost her head! If she can’t wake herself up, I’ll help wake her up!”
“Grandfather, don’t…” Jun Yu only got halfway through before Old Master Jun interrupted her.
“Don’t interfere in this matter! Just focus on going for your surgery.”
Old Master Jun said, “Isn’t she refusing to inherit the Jun family for the sake of a fool? I only let her take a look at that piece of land. Yu’er, if your surgery goes smoothly and you can stand up, then this time, you two can take the Jun family based on ability. Whoever loses won’t get a single cent!”
Jun Yu’s hands gripping the wheelchair trembled. She raised her eyes to look at Old Master Jun and wanted to say something, but Old Master Jun raised his hand to stop her. “No need to say more. This time, I will definitely teach that disgraceful thing a lesson!”
As he spoke, Old Master Jun quickly walked to the study, picked up the phone, and dialled a number. After the other side picked up, he directly ordered, “Since Eldest Miss refuses to come back, then invite her back!”
Jun Yueyue looked at Fang Anyu standing in front of her with an empty bag. She quickly typed on her phone:
Don’t worry. This kind of fish food can be bought at the market. At this hour, the market definitely won’t be closed. Let’s go buy it together.
Fang Anyu nodded. The two of them quickly changed clothes. Before long, they took the fish food bag and went out to buy more.
The standing water on the road was deep, and there were very few cars. In the city, people were clearing blocked drains in some areas, but the road surface was still covered by a shallow layer of water. There had been too much rain these past few days. Some old billboards and light boxes had been knocked down. Fortunately, there had been no casualties.
Jun Yueyue looked at the standing water on the road and thought of how, before the apocalypse in her world, no one had taken things seriously at first either. Although the rain was a little heavy, there were no casualties. They had merely sent people out like this to clear the drains and remove water from the roads.
But each rainfall became heavier than the last. Even as the water grew deeper and deeper, the drains became completely blocked and started flowing back up. The entire city soaked in wastewater. Shops on the first floor and flat houses had nowhere dry to step. Then came all kinds of pets mysteriously falling ill and dying…
Jun Yueyue stared out the car window. These past few days, she had been with Fang Anyu, living far too comfortably. She had completely thrown to the back of her mind the matter she had always wanted to clarify: what exactly was going on with this world. But the extreme weather had not stopped just because she was immersed in love. Everything was still developing in an unpredictable direction.
When Jun Yueyue thought of that cannibalistic apocalyptic world, her memories seemed separated by a film, as if a very, very long time had passed. But in reality, she had not returned from the apocalypse for very long. She should not be only focused on love.
She should hurry back to that familiar place from that day and take a careful look. She should go find that Lei Ze and ask about some unknown experiences that her captain in the apocalypse had once mentioned. That way, she could almost confirm what connection this world had with the apocalypse, whether she had not transmigrated at all, and had only been reborn before the apocalypse…
Jun Yueyue had only been fooling around privately with Fang Anyu for a few days, but she had already begun to feel guilty. Actually, perhaps there was one absolutely certain method too, one she did not want to face unless absolutely necessary.
That was to search this world and see whether there was another Jun Yueyue…
“Mwah.”
Thinking back to the apocalypse made Jun Yueyue’s whole body temperature drop and her fingertips turn cold. But then a kiss suddenly landed on her face and interrupted her thoughts again.
It even came with sound. Jun Yueyue reached up and touched her face, then turned to look at Fang Anyu and could not help laughing. This was probably the only sound he could make.
“Mwah, mwah.”
Fang Anyu kissed Jun Yueyue’s cheekbone and the back of her hand, each kiss making a sound.
The driver in front was still the experienced driver who had taken the two of them out to buy fish that day. Hearing the sound, he glanced back. Then he did not know where to put his eyes. At his age, being fed dog food like this made him laugh with an “aiyo.”
He really had never seen the eldest young master be so close to anyone. Before, the eldest young master basically never went out, and it seemed he had never smiled like this either.
Jun Yueyue covered her face and reached out to push Fang Anyu, but sweetness surged up inside her one wave after another. Although Fang Anyu could not speak or hear, he was extremely sensitive. As long as her emotions changed even slightly, he could sense it.
Across two lifetimes, Jun Yueyue had only ever met one person who cared about her like this. It was truly hard to resist becoming addicted.
When they arrived at the flower, bird, and fish market, the driver found a place to park opposite the market. Jun Yueyue and Fang Anyu got out hand in hand and walked to the roadside to wait for the traffic light. At the same time, they looked across the road toward the flower, bird, and fish market.
It was quite lively inside. Even from here, they could hear birds calling. Jun Yueyue thought that if they happened to come across a little bird Fang Anyu liked, she would buy him one. In any case, he was extremely meticulous toward everything and absolutely did not need anyone to worry that he would not take good care of it.

Jun Yueyue’s reaction was fairly quick. She instantly pulled Fang Anyu backward. But that car was clearly aiming for the two of them. With a sharp, piercing screech of brakes, it stopped by the roadside. Before anyone could react, Jun Yueyue was grabbed and dragged by several people who jumped out of the car, then stuffed into the vehicle.
Fang Anyu looked at his suddenly empty hand, then looked at the car door that had already closed. For the first time in his life, he reacted this quickly. He abruptly took two steps forward and grabbed the car door!
But the car had already started moving. The force of the vehicle dragged him sharply forward and to the side—
