Too Many Lovers to Handle
Li Li threw the wig onto the floor. He and Fang Anyan barely exchanged a few words before they started fighting. These two tyrannosaurs really were tyrannosaurs, and both of them were in a state where they had nowhere to vent. The moment Li Li tossed the wig aside, the two of them came to blows…
Jun Yueyue’s foot shifted slightly, but she had no intention of stepping forward to stop them. To be honest, she had wanted to beat Fang Anyan up for a long time. Unfortunately, she could not beat him herself. Sometimes Fang Anyan was truly too aggravating. Jun Yueyue had held back from getting someone to sack him only because he was, after all, the male lead, and she did not want to make enemies with him.
An opportunity like this was truly rare. When Li Li charged forward, Jun Yueyue silently dubbed Fang Anyan’s back in her heart—
Face the wind!
No matter how much Fang Anyan was the male lead, he was still only a businessman. Li Li, on the other hand, had grown up brawling his way through life. It was only these past two years that he had finally restrained his rogue aura and started dressing like a proper beast in human clothing. Fang Anyan would not gain any advantage against him.
The two of them started fighting right in front of Jun Yueyue and Fang Anyu. Fang Anyu stepped forward, but Jun Yueyue pulled him back.
What was the rush? They were just letting off steam. Neither of them was someone with no sense of measure.
Sure enough, neither of them aimed for the face. Fang Anyan punched Li Li in the shoulder. Li Li staggered back two steps, then rushed forward and kicked Fang Anyan in the waist.
That move was a little vicious. A man’s waist was important. That would not do. Li Li’s moves were too underhanded.
Jun Yueyue was just about to speak up and stop him when, suddenly, the door to the room diagonally opposite opened. A woman whose style was extremely out of place stepped out. She was wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night, along with a tight combat vest. For a split second, Jun Yueyue thought she had flashed back to the apocalypse. This woman’s cold side profile was far too deeply etched in Jun Yueyue’s memory.
Was this not Ji Fei, the gunner who had always been at Li Li’s side like a shadow during the apocalypse?
Jun Yueyue had heard many rumours about the two of them. Some said they were having an affair. Others said Ji Fei eventually died because she had cheated with a mutated soldier from the base and was killed by Li Li.
But regardless of whether the rumours were true or not, seeing Ji Fei appear alive before her eyes still made Jun Yueyue dazed for a moment.
However, because things like this had already happened far too many times, Jun Yueyue reacted incredibly quickly. The moment Ji Fei aimed the gun at Li Li’s head, cocked it without hesitation, and pulled the trigger, Jun Yueyue rushed forward and grabbed the slide of the handgun. Using the momentum of her body, she charged.
There was a sharp whoosh. The gunshot was not loud, not even as loud as the thunderclap that rang out from outside at that moment.
But a chunk of the corner wall in the corridor was very clearly blown off.
Ji Fei seemed not to have expected that someone would actually dare to stop her. Her brief shock was not as fast as the reflexes she had honed from years of walking along the edge of life and death. With the slide grabbed, the second shot could not fire. She swung her arm back and drove her elbow straight into Jun Yueyue’s chest… into the rise and fall there.
Jun Yueyue let out a very loud, “Fuck!”
But instinct made her not only refuse to let go, she also grabbed the gun and slammed her elbow into the numb tendon on Ji Fei’s arm.
Ji Fei had fought all kinds of people before. She had encountered all sorts of tough opponents. But she had never met someone this weak, someone she could send tumbling with one swing of her arm, yet who somehow used the kind of trick a child would use in a fight and actually managed to stop her.
Her hand went numb. Taking advantage of that chance, Jun Yueyue recklessly used her body weight to force Ji Fei’s wrist inward and smash it against the wall. The soreness, numbness, and sharp pain forced Ji Fei to let go of the handgun.
Jun Yueyue’s current physical strength truly could not compare with her previous life. But many instincts were carved into the soul.
She snatched the handgun, quickly cocked it, and aimed it at Ji Fei.
At the same time, the blade Ji Fei had drawn from her waist was already pressed against Jun Yueyue’s neck—
All of this happened in almost an instant. By the time the other three people in the corridor reacted, Ji Fei had already narrowed her eyes and raised an eyebrow at Jun Yueyue.
“Who are you? Same line of work?”
Ji Fei’s entire body was tense. This was not the first time someone had pointed a gun at her head, but it was the first time someone had pointed her own gun at her head.
Only after Jun Yueyue finished all of this and her body had already fallen into a standoff with Ji Fei did her brain slowly catch up. She glanced at the current situation and fell silent for a moment. She looked very profound, but in reality, she was trying to sort out what exactly was going on.
Li Li and Fang Anyan had both stopped moving. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fang Anyu trying to walk toward her. Jun Yueyue wanted to tell him to stay still because it was dangerous here, but Fang Anyu could not hear her. She was in the middle of a standoff and could not exactly take out her phone and type!
“I don’t care who you are. Don’t block my way.” Ji Fei pointed at Li Li with the hand not holding the knife. “He hit my person. He should pay the price.”
After holding the gun up for a while, Jun Yueyue’s arm was already aching. Thankfully, Fang Anyu stood behind her.
Strangely enough, even though Fang Anyu could not provide any practical help in this kind of situation, the moment he stood behind Jun Yueyue, she felt as though she had thousands of troops and horses at her back, as though her support was incredibly powerful.
In truth… she had not fired a gun more than twice.
In her previous life, she had found guns left behind by dead enemies during two encounters. There had only been a few bullets, and their team had treated them like treasures. She had only fired twice. After the bullets ran out, however, she had handled and dismantled guns quite a few times.
No one could have expected the scene to become like this. And Ji Fei’s words were very easy to understand.
Jun Yueyue did not turn around. Letting your attention wander during a standoff was a huge taboo. But in that instant, she felt like her brain had been struck by lightning.
What did she mean Li Li had hit her person?
The apocalypse had not yet arrived. Ji Fei was not yet Li Li’s subordinate. The person she had just aimed at was Li Li. Then her person was…
Fang Anyan?!
What kind of earth-shattering magical development was this?
Jun Yueyue’s current body really was too weak. Ji Fei’s elbow to her chest hurt in waves, like someone had stabbed her there. She was starting to struggle to hold on. Fang Anyu very timely pressed against her back and supported her.
Her mind spun rapidly, trying to figure out how to explain this situation in just a few words. Li Li and Fang Anyan, who had been stunned, finally came back to their senses and spoke at the same time.
“We were just messing around!” This was Li Li, drenched in cold sweat at the back of his head after escaping disaster.
“Ji Fei, we were only… messing around. Why would you do this?” This was Fang Anyan, whose expression was strange and whose tone was filled with helplessness and complaint.
The moment Jun Yueyue heard Fang Anyan’s tone, she started sweating along with Li Li.
Could someone please tell her what the hell had happened to the male lead! Why did his tone sound so weak? Had the little tyrannosaur turned into a little milk dragon?!
Ji Fei looked at Fang Anyan. “Messing around?”
Fang Anyan nodded.
Ji Fei shifted her gaze back to Jun Yueyue’s face. The blade pressed against Jun Yueyue’s neck withdrew, spun around her fingers, and was smoothly tucked back into the row of pouches on her waist.
Jun Yueyue’s hand had already begun to tremble. Her body was a weak chicken. Holding the gun in such a standard posture for just a little longer and she would drop it herself.
She slowly lowered the muzzle and said, “It was a misunderstanding. We all know each other. They were just play-fighting. You know how men are when they get together. Things like this are hard to avoid.”
Jun Yueyue knew Ji Fei’s identity. During the apocalypse, those without ability always admired those with ability, yet could not help feeling sour toward them. So people around big shots like Ji Fei often had their backgrounds dug up. According to rumours, Ji Fei had once been a squad leader in a mercenary group in Chabell.
Ji Fei stared at Jun Yueyue. A moment later, she nodded and smiled. “Then I misunderstood. But… who are you?”
Jun Yueyue’s expression became indescribable for a moment. Mainly because she did not know how to explain the current scene.
But she really was afraid Ji Fei would go crazy. No one here could beat her. And Jun Yueyue’s tiny body had managed to grab the gun only because she used brute force, because Ji Fei had not guarded against such a weak chicken, and because of a bit of luck.
If they truly fought, looking at the muscles on the back of Ji Fei’s hand, one punch from her would probably knock Jun Yueyue unconscious.
Seeing that Ji Fei had not fully relaxed, Jun Yueyue thought for a moment and said, “Your… lover is my ex-husband’s younger brother.”
Jun Yueyue pointed at Fang Anyu behind her, then pointed at Li Li. “The person who fought your lover is my fiancé.”
Ji Fei frowned slightly. Jun Yueyue was afraid she would not understand and was about to explain, but Ji Fei suddenly laughed. She reached out and patted Jun Yueyue’s shoulder with an expression that said, I understand.
“Impressive!”
To Ji Fei, this was very easy to understand. Was this not just a case of lovers running into each other? For someone like her, having several lovers was nothing.
She held out her hand toward Jun Yueyue, asking for her gun back.
Jun Yueyue was still a little uneasy. She neatly removed the magazine, handed the empty gun back to Ji Fei, then turned and stuffed the magazine into Fang Anyan’s hand, who had been staring nervously at this side the whole time.
Since Fang Anyan was the cause of this farce, he could solve it himself!
Ji Fei’s smile grew wider. In her heart, she praised Jun Yueyue for being clever. Then she asked directly, “I like you. What do you do?”
Jun Yueyue felt too embarrassed to rub her own chest. After all, once you started acting cool, you had to see it through.
She shook her head, walked to Fang Anyu’s side, stood straight, and said calmly, “Please don’t like me. I already have too many lovers to handle. I’m just a businesswoman. All of us are ordinary businesspeople.”
Fang Anyan held the magazine helplessly. It was cold, hard, and heavy. He had once almost lost his life to this thing. How could he not be afraid?
Ji Fei was still looking at Jun Yueyue with great interest.
Jun Yueyue pointed at Fang Anyan. “Look, you scared him badly. Hurry up and comfort him.” Jun Yueyue’s face filled with indifference, when in reality, she was enduring pain so badly her face had gone pale. “If you scare men like this too often, it can easily make them impotent.”
Ji Fei kept smiling at Jun Yueyue.
Of course, she had not truly intended to kill anyone today. If someone was not her mission target, she basically did not kill them. That shot just now had been aimed at the leg of the person who was fighting with her baby. It was only meant to teach him a lesson.
She had not expected that a little white rabbit like Jun Yueyue would take her gun. She stared at her curiously, making Jun Yueyue’s scalp prickle.
Ji Fei swept her gaze over Jun Yueyue’s body and arms, then said, “Your body really is too weak. But… that reaction just now doesn’t look like something an ordinary person would have.”
Jun Yueyue did not respond. To stop Ji Fei from going mad, she turned to the still-shaken Li Li and said, “Go see the guests off. Just say I’m unwell and fainted. What are you still standing there for?”
Li Li looked at Jun Yueyue. His gaze was also extremely complicated, but he truly knew when to read the room. He quickly ran off like smoke.
What the fuck was all this!
He had not been out of the underworld for that many years, yet he never imagined the world had already become this savage!
Jun Yueyue took Fang Anyu’s hand, kept her face stiff, and said to Ji Fei, “Excuse me. I need to comfort my little darling.”
After saying that, she seemingly calmly pulled Fang Anyu back into the room. Then she closed the door and crouched down on the floor.
Only then did Ji Fei walk to Fang Anyan’s side. She reached out and took the magazine from his hand, loaded it back in, put the gun away, and apologised without much sincerity.
“Sorry, baby. I didn’t mean anything by it. I just saw him kick your waist and felt distressed.”
“Come, come.” Ji Fei pulled Fang Anyan along, placed a hand on his waist, squeezed it, and brought him back into the room. “Stay with me a little longer. I’ll be leaving soon.”
Fang Anyan did not really have much choice and followed Ji Fei back into the room.
After Jun Yueyue pulled Fang Anyu back into the room, she immediately bent over and started rubbing her chest. As she rubbed, she said, “You poor things. Recently, you’ve always been suffering…”
Jun Yueyue hissed from the pain. Fang Anyu crouched behind her, somewhat at a loss. He knew Jun Yueyue’s chest had been injured, but he did not know what to do. There was no medical kit here either.
Seeing Jun Yueyue in so much pain, Fang Anyu reached out from behind, pulled her into his arms, and sat down on the carpet by the door. Then he slowly replaced Jun Yueyue’s hand with his own, helping her rub the place that had been hit earlier.
Honestly, if this were anyone else, this would be outright hooligan behaviour. But Fang Anyu’s face was full of seriousness, and his movements were much gentler than Jun Yueyue’s own. Also, whether because she was distracted, or because she was just that shameless, after Fang Anyu rubbed for a while, Jun Yueyue actually felt it did not hurt as much anymore…
Once it stopped hurting, she started forgetting what the pain had felt like. She took out her phone and typed for Fang Anyu to see:
—How does it feel?
After Fang Anyu read it, he did not react at all. He looked at Jun Yueyue in confusion, his hands still moving. Clearly, he had not understood.
Jun Yueyue typed again:
—Does it feel good?
Fang Anyu paused. This time, he understood. Jun Yueyue tilted her head up and watched as his face visibly turned red. The hand massaging her froze, neither stopping nor continuing.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk…”
Jun Yueyue clicked her tongue repeatedly, then typed again:
—Are they big? D-cup, you know. I’m telling you, you found yourself a treasure. Most women aren’t this big.
As if electrocuted, Fang Anyu pulled his hand back and pushed Jun Yueyue’s shoulder. His face was unbelievably red.
Jun Yueyue truly found it especially novel. No matter when she teased Fang Anyu, he would blush like this. But the two of them had only just done something even more intimate. What was there to blush about?
—Why are you blushing? Why weren’t you a little more reserved on the sofa earlier?
After Jun Yueyue handed it over, Fang Anyu read it. After reading, he looked at Jun Yueyue with a very strange expression, then turned his face away.
The chances for the two of them to meet were too rare. Seeing him like this made Jun Yueyue even more unable to resist teasing him.
—What’s wrong? I’m just asking how you felt. Fine, I’ll ask something else. What did you think of my squats earlier?
After Fang Anyu read that, he slowly bit his lip. Then he reached out and snatched Jun Yueyue’s phone, but he did not type. Instead, he threw it along the carpet not far away, as if the phone were a burning coal.
Jun Yueyue burst into laughter. When she laughed, her chest hurt again, but after that intense wave had passed, it honestly was not that bad anymore.
Still, she pretended to lie sideways on the carpet, covering the place that had been hit with her hand and showing a pained expression.
And Fang Anyu fell for it again.
His movements were gentle. After only a few rubs, Jun Yueyue could not help bursting into laughter. Fang Anyu realised he had been tricked again, but he had no way to deal with Jun Yueyue. In the end, helpless, he could only gently hold her, the tips of his ears red enough to drip blood.
The two of them did not communicate any further. They simply sat quietly on the carpet, holding each other. The phone lay not far away, lighting up several times. It was probably messages coming in, but Jun Yueyue had absolutely no desire to look at it.
After today, she would probably gain a portion of real authority. But there was still some time before she could truly take over the Jun family. Opportunities to privately meet Fang Anyu like this would basically no longer exist in the coming period.
Jun Yueyue really did not want to separate from Fang Anyu. The Fang family restricted Fang Anyu’s freedom. Jun Yueyue was afraid that if he waited too long, he would start overthinking things at home.
Even if she swore oaths, even if she told Fang Anyu again and again that once she obtained the Jun family, she would definitely be with him again.
But if their positions were reversed, if she were Fang Anyu, perhaps she would not believe it at all.
Fang Anyu had nothing to rely on inside. His family looked down on him. After tricking him into signing the divorce agreement, they locked him up again. The only thing he could depend on was Jun Yueyue’s promise.
Jun Yueyue leaned against Fang Anyu’s shoulder with her eyes closed. She turned her head and gently kissed his face.
“Don’t be afraid. I really, really like you. I definitely won’t give up on you.”
Jun Yueyue had said these words countless times to Fang Anyu through the phone. But she still said them again softly beside his ear like this, even though he could not hear at all. Even if she was only saying them for herself, that was fine too.
The two of them leaned silently against each other like that. Jun Yueyue once again thought of the sentence she had once disdained:
If only time could stop at this moment.
But time would not truly stop.
After Li Li nervously and stiffly saw off all the guests, he told Old Master Jun that Jun Yueyue had drunk a little too much and was sleeping in the private room.
Old Master Jun trusted what Li Li said. He had indeed seen those two boys from the Fang family come over. As for where Fang Anyan had gotten the money to participate in the investment, he did not know.
But no matter how much the old man thought about it, he would never imagine that Li Li could wear a head full of green light and bring his fiancée together with another man.
So Li Li managed to muddle through on that side. The old man only patted his shoulder, said nothing, and returned to his own room.
After Li Li finished seeing off the guests, Fang Anyan had also sent Ji Fei away. When there was a knock at Jun Yueyue’s door, this rare warm moment was finally forced to end.
When the door opened again, Fang Anyan and Li Li stood outside with some distance between them. The two tyrannosaurs looked like punctured balloons, completely deflated. The earlier tense, swords-drawn atmosphere had vanished without a trace.
As soon as the door opened, Li Li pinched the space between his brows.
“Old Master Jun may come looking for you to talk later. Just now, I told him you drank a bit too much and were sleeping in the room.”
Just in case, Li Li had to first tell Jun Yueyue what he had said earlier.
Jun Yueyue nodded.
“Come in and talk.”
Jun Yueyue let the two people at the door enter. After the door closed, everyone sat down on the sofa.
Fang Anyu followed behind Jun Yueyue and sat beside her. Fang Anyan and Li Li sat opposite them. Fang Anyan looked at his older brother, then spoke first, his face dark as he said to Jun Yueyue, “This is the last time. I brought him to see you only because he insisted on begging me to bring him here.”
Fang Anyan said, “Jun Yue, I don’t care what you’re thinking, but you and my brother are already divorced. You’re also engaged again now. Make things clear with him right now. My brother is simple-minded. Don’t deceive him. As for the matter of him jumping down from upstairs, you also have to give me an explanation.”
Li Li was just about to speak from the side, but Jun Yueyue raised her hand to stop him and spoke herself.
“I’m guessing your mother told you that I dumped your brother and even instigated him to jump off the building, right?”
Fang Anyan did not speak, but his expression was very ugly. Probably because Ji Fei had tormented him too badly. Even though he was extremely angry right now, he could not explode at all. He only looked at Jun Yueyue somewhat darkly.
“I feel like you should at least have a little brain,” Jun Yueyue said. “If I had dumped your brother and told him to get lost, do you think he would beg you to bring him here to find me? Your brother is indeed a little different from normal people because his life growing up was too closed off, and his ability to accept many things is different from ordinary people. But he isn’t truly stupid.”
Fang Anyan frowned.
Jun Yueyue continued, “I told him to jump, and he jumped? You can believe that kind of thing? Fang Anyan, has your brain been hollowed out?”
Jun Yueyue said, “Your mother lied to you. Because my grandfather gave your family two small projects. Once those projects succeed, funds will flow back. While you were away, your father and mother forced your brother to sign the divorce agreement.”
“What projects?” Fang Anyan clearly knew nothing about this.
Jun Yueyue said, “I’m guessing that even if your mother mentioned them to you, she would say they relied on connections with old friends to obtain them.”
“I don’t know what kind of tradition your family has of selling your sons again and again,” Jun Yueyue said. “Is the company really that important? A lifetime’s work maintained by sucking your son’s blood—when that money reaches your hands, can you really spend it with a clear conscience?”
“Besides, they said I encouraged your brother to jump off the building.” Jun Yueyue let out a scoff. “I was inexplicably divorced. I rushed back overnight from Xiude Town. I couldn’t even enter your family’s front gate. I climbed over the wall in the middle of the night because I wanted to find your brother and explain things to him. But your mother and father had locked your brother up. Did you know that?”
By this point, Fang Anyan’s expression was already extremely ugly. But he still did not fully believe Jun Yueyue’s words. After all, those were his parents.
Jun Yueyue continued, “They locked your brother up. Your brother found out I was downstairs, went to smash the door, couldn’t get it open, and in a panic, jumped down from upstairs…”
At this point, Jun Yueyue also felt a little uncomfortable.
“These things aren’t something people can casually distort. You can investigate. You’re managing the company now. As long as you check the projects in the company a little, you’ll know they came from the Jun family. Then you’ll know whether I’m lying or not.”
After Jun Yueyue finished speaking, she fell silent for a moment, giving Fang Anyan time to digest it. She squeezed Fang Anyu’s hand, her eyes full of reluctance.
She quickly typed on her phone, once again telling Fang Anyu for who knew which time:
—Wait for me a little longer. It won’t take long before I come to pick you up. Then we’ll never separate again.
Fang Anyan stood there in a daze for a while. What Jun Yueyue said was far too different from what his parents had said. He really would have to go back and verify it.
But there was one thing that did not need verifying.
“Even if that’s the case, you’re already divorced. You’re engaged too. Is it really appropriate for you to keep entangling yourself with my brother like this?”
As Fang Anyan spoke, he turned to look at Li Li.
“President Li, your fiancée is entangled with her ex-husband. You don’t care?”
Li Li shrugged. He did not answer directly, but asked Fang Anyan instead, “If a big project was placed in front of you, one that, if successful, would let you live richly for years without opening another deal, and someone told you they’d give you eighty percent of the profit after marriage, and all they asked was for you to pretend to get engaged with them, would you agree?”
Fang Anyan processed this for a moment, then quickly looked at Jun Yueyue, his face full of disbelief.
He had fought in the business world. He had indeed heard of Li Li. He had heard that Li Li never got up early without profit, and he had also seen his methods and ability. Without absolute temptation of profit, it was unlikely he would help lie.
Especially because an engagement, perhaps even a marriage, involving two families’ companies was not something anyone would joke about.
But Fang Anyan simply could not believe it and would not believe it. After a short moment of shock, he said, “I’ve already seen the contract for the Gantan Mountain project. I was planning to invest in that project. Don’t even think about deceiving me!”
“Of course there’s no problem with the contract,” Jun Yueyue said. “Otherwise, how would I trick my grandfather into giving me authority? What President Li and I signed is a gift contract. As long as I take power, the contract takes effect.”
“Ha.” Fang Anyan sneered. He did not believe it at all.
Pushing away the fatty meat already at your mouth, then eagerly plating it, slicing it up, and delivering it to someone else’s mouth—only an idiot would do that!
Just because she liked his brother?
Fang Anyan had lived this long, and he had only seen this kind of insane so-called love in TV dramas and novels.
“You don’t expect me to show you the contract, do you?” Li Li said. “I don’t have any obligation to show it to you. Believe it if you want. Don’t believe it if you don’t. As for your brother…”
Li Li spoke very objectively. “He can jump down from upstairs just to meet someone. With such an extreme personality, I advise your family not to stop him too harshly. Otherwise, no one can say what the consequences will be.”
That was indeed true. This was also what Jun Yueyue feared. As soon as those words fell, Jun Yueyue tightened her grip on Fang Anyu’s hand, and Fang Anyan’s heart gave a fierce jump.
Just then, Jun Yueyue’s phone suddenly rang. She made a shushing gesture to the others and answered the call. It was Old Master Jun.
“Oh, Grandpa, I haven’t slept yet. I just woke up and my head hurts a little.”
The moment Jun Yueyue answered the phone, her voice became lazy, carrying a slightly hoarse tone as though she had just woken up.
“Mm, from drinking. It’s fine. Li Li brought me some hangover medicine. It eased a bit after I drank it. Mm, okay. I’ll come over right away.”
After hanging up, the four of them were briefly silent. Jun Yueyue spoke, using a voice softer than she had ever used to plead with Fang Anyan.
“I know you have a lot of opinions about me, and you don’t believe what I said, but you can go back and check.”
Jun Yueyue said, “But consider this me begging you. Even if you’re busy, don’t neglect your brother. I know you’re different from your parents. You genuinely care about him. When he’s sad, he’ll go squat in that little room on the balcony. If it rains and thunders, water will collect very deeply there. Soaking in it is too cold.”
In the end, Fang Anyan nodded.
Right in front of him, Jun Yueyue stuffed her phone into Fang Anyu’s hands. She also gave him the charger. Then she typed on the phone:
—I can’t see you off. My grandfather is looking for me to talk. Take this phone. I’ll buy a new one tonight and use it to contact you. Don’t let your parents find it.
Fang Anyu held the phone and looked at Jun Yueyue. He knew the two of them had to separate. His expression was especially dejected, but he nodded very solemnly. He tucked the phone into the pocket near his chest, patted it, then squeezed Jun Yueyue’s hand again.
Fang Anyan left with Fang Anyu.
Jun Yueyue stood by the hotel window. She could not see clearly below, could not see Fang Anyu’s figure, but she could see the car. She waited until Fang Anyu and Fang Anyan’s car drove away from the hotel before withdrawing her gaze and leaning against the glass with a sigh.
Li Li stayed in the room. Seeing Jun Yueyue like this, he slipped one finger under the wig and scratched.
“I’ll go buy you a new phone.”
Jun Yueyue looked at him. “Thank you. You’re a good person. Good people will definitely be rewarded. Once I can call the shots, I’ll tell you something.”
Jun Yueyue looked at the sky outside. Fine, broken flashes of lightning had begun again. Her voice paused, then she said, “I’ll tell you something bigger than the sky.”
As for whether he would believe it or not, that would depend on him.
Jun Yueyue sorted out her emotions and went to the old man’s place. As expected, he did indeed give her some authority, but it was still not enough.
Jun Yueyue acted very calm. She showed neither dissatisfaction nor wild delight. This made Old Master Jun even more satisfied with her.
“Your younger sister will be back around the middle of the month,” Old Master Jun said to Jun Yueyue with a smile. “She had surgery yesterday. Although she still hasn’t woken up, the surgery was very successful. I’m preparing to have her return here for rehabilitation. I’ve also ordered prosthetics. The place over there isn’t authoritative enough.”
When Jun Yueyue heard this, she quickly asked, “If the surgery was successful, does that mean she’ll be able to stand in the future?!”
Jun Yueyue’s anxious expression was not fake. She was indeed happy that Jun Yu might be able to stand again.
But what made her mood feel a little strange was that the male lead had already gotten involved with someone else now. If Jun Yu stood up again, then this plot would truly be… probably so broken that even the author would not recognise it.
Old Master Jun was especially happy when he brought up Jun Yu. But he did not make any absolute statements, because this kind of thing was not something he could directly conclude. Rehabilitation was an extremely difficult and painful process. Whether she could endure it would still depend on whether Jun Yu had the willpower.
“It’s hard to say. It still depends on Yu’er herself.”
That was what Old Master Jun said, but the happiness on his face was still hard to conceal. Even his expression toward Jun Yueyue softened.
“Yu’er can definitely do it,” Jun Yueyue said. She did not doubt Jun Yu’s willpower at all.
After all, in the plot, there was a scene Jun Yueyue still remembered very clearly even now. The female lead had been kidnapped, but because she was disabled, the kidnappers only tied up her wheelchair and did not bind her hands or feet.
While they were asleep, Jun Yu crawled out from the place where she had been kidnapped. She gritted her teeth and crawled for an entire night, all the way to a nearby motorway, where someone finally rescued her.
The plot described how her arms and body had been repeatedly scraped in many places, bloody and mangled. But she still gritted her teeth and endured.
Jun Yueyue believed that if Jun Yu truly wanted to stand, rehabilitation and adapting to prosthetics would be nothing to her.
Old Master Jun had called Jun Yueyue over today for two reasons. One was to loosen a little authority and give it to her. The more important reason was that he wanted to bring Jun Yu back at this point, and he wanted to see Jun Yueyue’s true reaction.
Unsurprisingly, Jun Yueyue’s reaction made him especially satisfied.
Old Master Jun continued, “If Yu’er comes back, she can’t stay here. I’ve already contacted an old friend in Qiuhai City. There’s a fairly good rehabilitation centre there. Around the middle of the month, we also happen to need to go there to verify the investment company’s strength. You and Li Li can go together.”
Jun Yueyue nodded. Old Master Jun achieved his goal and, perfectly satisfied, sent Jun Yueyue away.
After Jun Yueyue returned to her room, it was not long before Li Li brought her the newly bought phone and SIM card.
Jun Yueyue inserted the card into the phone and directly sent a video call over. Fang Anyu answered very quickly. His face appeared in the video. The background looked like a hotel. The moment the two saw each other through the screen, they both smiled.
Fang Anyan was standing not far behind Fang Anyu, by the window, on the phone with someone.
Jun Yueyue switched the video to a small window and sent Fang Anyu a message:
—When you go home, you must hide the phone well. Set it to vibrate. That way, when I message you, you’ll know.
—I’ll definitely hide it properly.
Fang Anyu quickly replied too.
Jun Yueyue puckered her lips and leaned close to the video, kissing the screen. Then she sent another message:
—Your leg hasn’t fully healed yet. Don’t walk around too often after you go home. And I saw the injuries on your hand haven’t fully healed either. You must be careful and don’t keep touching water.
—I know. Don’t worry.
Jun Yueyue smiled at the screen. Fang Anyu sent another message:
—A pot of flowers bloomed. I remember it shouldn’t bloom at this time, but it’s especially beautiful now. When I go back, I’ll take a photo of the flowers for you.
After Jun Yueyue read this message, her smile froze briefly. She looked out the window again. At this moment, there was no lightning in the sky anymore.
This unpredictable weather was exactly the same as before the apocalypse in the previous world. And the abnormal blooming of plants Fang Anyu mentioned—this was only the beginning.
But Jun Yueyue did not say anything.
She had confessed everything to Fang Anyu, but she did not plan to tell him that the apocalypse was about to arrive.
She remembered the time she had mentioned this to Fang Anyu before. When she told him that in the world where she had survived, people would eat people, Fang Anyu’s expression had been especially shocked and frightened.
So Jun Yueyue did not plan to tell him.
When the apocalypse truly came, by then, she would already have prepared all the supplies. Fang Anyu could stay in that base for the rest of his life. Jun Yueyue would be responsible for going out to find supplies and going on missions with the others. Fang Anyu would never have to face terror in his life.
But thinking of this made Jun Yueyue suddenly remember a problem she had always ignored. It was also an extremely fatal problem…
The moment she thought of it, Jun Yueyue immediately became nervous. And it was an unprecedented panic, a panic comparable to the first time she discovered that the apocalypse would come to this world.
She shakily took a deep breath, then exhaled. Facing the screen, she typed a line:
—If, and I mean if, one day I turned into someone with a body like Popeye on TV.
—No, not like that. Even more exaggerated than that. Maybe three to five times stronger than that. Could you accept it?
Jun Yueyue’s expression uncontrollably became sorrowful and miserable. Looking at Fang Anyu’s handsome brows and eyes, she almost wanted to burst into tears.
—If I turned into a King Kong Barbie, would you still love me?
