How could Cheng Rui possibly refuse Bai Qingqing?
Bai Qingqing looked at him with eager eyes, a cautious expression on her face, and her eyes filled with anticipation. It was as if she were a cute little cat, coaxing her owner.
He couldn’t refuse her, or rather, no man could refuse her unless he was blind.
Cheng Rui nodded and said, “Sure.”
Bai Qingqing immediately smiled with delight. In her beautiful eyes, his figure filled her vision. “Thank you, Cheng Rui. You’re so kind.”
Recently, Bai Qingqing had gradually taken over Cheng Rui’s life, bit by bit. Even if it was a poisonous treat, it still tasted sweet.
Bai Qingqing took out various mechanical firearms she had collected in the city from her spatial ability. She placed all kinds of guns on the table she used to take things out from her spatial storage.
“Cheng Rui, come teach me how to use them.”
Cheng Rui stood beside her, picked up a gun from the table, swiftly disassembled it, and neatly arranged the parts in front of her.
Bai Qingqing, impressed by his skills, exclaimed, “Wow, you’re really amazing! I couldn’t even see clearly, and you’ve already disassembled the gun.”
Cheng Rui used to be an excellent marksman in his former military unit. He had gone on missions all over, killing without hesitation. His reputation in the industry was enough to strike fear into many criminals.
He was known as an emotionless humanoid machine. His superiors valued him, but they were also cautious, fearing that if they couldn’t control him, he would become an enemy. His comrades gradually distanced themselves from him as well.
The only brother who treated him well died in an accident at the hands of criminals, leaving him without anyone to talk to.
He had always been introverted since childhood, remaining silent in any environment. Except for necessary communication during missions, he rarely spoke.
Praise and compliments from girls were common, and he had heard them many times in the military. But at this moment, it felt as if something had moistened his bones, and his blood felt rejuvenated.
Cheng Rui pointed to the disassembled mechanical components on the table and said in a deep voice, “This is the barrel, magazine, slide…”
He explained meticulously, teaching her how to assemble the gun slowly, resembling an instructor, but gentler than a strict instructor.
Bai Qingqing listened attentively by his side.
After Cheng Rui assembled the gun and loaded it, he handed it to her and said, “Try it.”
Bai Qingqing had an amazing memory. She followed his instructions and began to disassemble the gun, not with great speed, but successfully turning the assembled gun into individual parts.
Cheng Rui’s eyes showed a hint of appreciation. He didn’t expect her to be so intelligent, picking it up right away.
Bai Qingqing let out a sigh of relief and said, “Disassembling is easy, but it seems a bit difficult to assemble it back together.”
She turned her head to look at Cheng Rui, feeling a bit embarrassed. “Please don’t think I’m dumb.”
Cheng Rui pursed his lips. “I don’t.”
Bai Qingqing squinted her eyes, a trace of delight flashing through them. She lowered her head and concentrated on assembling the gun.
Cheng Rui watched as she effortlessly assembled the gun. The slender and fair fingers of the girl were juxtaposed with the coldness of the firearm, and his gaze gradually deepened.
Firearms and beautiful women were a man’s greatest love, capable of making their blood boil.
Unaware of the change in his gaze, Bai Qingqing quickly finished assembling the gun and turned her head to look at his handsome profile. “How is it? Did I make any mistakes?”
“No,” Cheng Rui replied in a deep voice.
Bai Qingqing yawned lazily, looking adorable in her sleepy state.
Cheng Rui noticed her drowsiness and said, “Go sleep in the car.”
At night, everyone slept in the modified vehicle as they couldn’t practice shooting nearby without disturbing others’ sleep.
Bai Qingqing didn’t plan to practice shooting with Cheng Rui tonight. She was just testing him. As long as he agreed, she could find him tomorrow.
She rubbed her eyes and said in a coquettish voice, “I’m not sleepy.”
Cheng Rui frowned slightly, his expression inexplicably stern. “Go to sleep quickly. I’ll teach you tomorrow.”
“Okay,” Bai Qingqing replied with a lowered head and a disappointed tone.
Though Shen Mingxuan was sitting on the car roof, keeping an eye on the surroundings, his attention was divided between Bai Qingqing and Cheng Rui. He wanted to figure out what Bai Qingqing was up to.
When Cheng Rui ordered Bai Qingqing to go back to sleep, Shen Mingxuan happened to overhear it. He sneered mockingly, a hint of ridicule in his voice.
Bai Qingqing had already stirred up Xiao Yang’s adolescent heart, and now she was teasing Cheng Rui. Unfortunately, Cheng Rui was like a wooden stake, completely unaffected by her charms.
Both of them below heard Shen Mingxuan’s sneer.
Bai Qingqing’s expression turned sour, and she glared angrily at Shen Mingxuan. Her slightly raised eyes carried a hint of charm, captivating the hearts of those who saw her.
Shen Mingxuan had intended to mock her, but when he saw that scene, his words stuck in his throat. He recalled the day when she had led him by the nose and he ended up being beaten for it. A cold light flickered in his eyes.
If Bai Qingqing wanted to play, then fine. He would play with her.
“Well, I’ll go sleep in the car then. Take care of yourself,” Bai Qingqing said softly.
Cheng Rui nodded and watched as she returned to the vehicle before going back to his post.
Shen Mingxuan glanced at Cheng Rui, who was holding a cola in his hand and wrapped in a coat. His eyes were dark as he spoke, “Oh, can’t bear to drink the drink given by the beauty?”
Cheng Rui turned to look at him, his tone cold and firm. “Haven’t had enough with Xiao Yang yet?”
Shen Mingxuan choked, his voice cold. “So you’ve fallen under her charm too?”
He spoke with a hint of mockery, “Cheng Rui, Xiao Yang likes Bai Qingqing. What are you planning? Trying to steal his girl?”
“It’s not stealing,” Cheng Rui said, his grip on the cola tightening as he spoke in a deep voice. “Who she likes is her own choice.”
Shen Mingxuan clicked his tongue twice and sarcastically said, “Indeed, that kid hasn’t even grown his hair yet. He only dares to secretly admire her, not even daring to confess. How could he compete with you?”
“I used the wrong word with ‘steal.’ She is willingly coming to us.”
Cheng Rui furrowed his brow, his expression extremely displeased as he looked at Shen Mingxuan sharply. “Shen Mingxuan, I know you have a bias against Bai Qingqing, but humiliating and targeting a woman is not the behavior of a man.”
Shen Mingxuan’s face instantly turned ugly, remembering how Bai Qingqing had once said he was like a woman. Cheng Rui’s sharp words struck a nerve.
Cheng Rui’s voice was cold and heavy, with a hint of warning. “Since you know that I have feelings for her, then don’t mention her in front of me. I’m not the same as that kid, Xiao Yang.”
He didn’t finish his words, but Shen Mingxuan understood what he meant. It simply meant that he wouldn’t play along and would fight to the death.
Shen Mingxuan’s androgynous face turned icy cold. “I don’t believe you can’t see it. She’s intentionally getting close to you all. Bai Qingqing, she never lost her memory from the beginning. She’s just playing with you all. Do you know that?”
Fu Chen personally confirmed that Bai Qingqing had lost her memory, and they had no reason not to believe it. Cheng Rui thought Shen Mingxuan was just targeting Bai Qingqing and talking nonsense.
Shen Mingxuan noticed Cheng Rui’s disbelief and felt an unnamed anger welling up in his heart. “Fine, if you don’t believe it, then don’t.”
His voice turned extremely cold as he said, “Don’t forget how you all treated her in the past. If she remembers, would she still like you?”
Cheng Rui’s face turned ugly, his expression tense.
If Bai Qingqing were to remember one day…
…
In the midst of the apocalypse, chaos engulfed the city, with zombies everywhere.
The Thunder Squad had just rescued the two sisters from the Bai family and were preparing to leave the city. However, Bai Qingqing desperately wanted to get off the car and return to the team, claiming that she had forgotten something in the villa.
No matter how she cried and pleaded, the team didn’t go back. Due to her insistence on getting off the car, she was knocked unconscious and tied up.
When she woke up, the vehicle had already left the city center.
Knowing that there was no way to go back, she lay on the ground and cried bitterly. Bai Tiantian tried to console her, but she was fiercely scolded and pushed to the ground, berated with anger, “It’s all because of you, all your fault!”
Bai Tiantian tearfully apologized, and they developed a sense of disgust towards the arrogant Bai Qingqing.
It was only later that they found out she wanted to retrieve her mother’s belongings.
With their preconceived notions, they naturally couldn’t understand Bai Qingqing’s feelings. In the apocalypse, survival was difficult enough, let alone caring about material possessions.
Perhaps due to being half-siblings, Bai Qingqing treated Bai Tiantian extremely poorly, often taunting and ridiculing her, with a despicable attitude that made Bai Tiantian cry every time.
Xiao Yang couldn’t stand it and scolded her a few times for defending Bai Tiantian, making her understand her position. She wasn’t the pampered young miss from before; she was just an accessory to the team.
Bai Qingqing, with her red eyes from being scolded, fought back against Xiao Yang to save face. She angrily returned to her own room.
Bai Tiantian unexpectedly awakened her spatial ability, becoming more popular within the team. In contrast, Bai Qingqing, who had no abilities and was delicate, became disliked by everyone.
Bai Qingqing envied Bai Tiantian’s abilities and also feared that her own uselessness would lead to abandonment. She was a clever girl, and in order to survive, she targeted a man in the team and decided to cling to him for protection.
In the apocalypse, it was a survival of the fittest, and many women chose to rely on powerful men to avoid becoming playthings.
However, the men in the team had a dislike for her, who was delicate and willful.
…
Bai Qingqing first chose Shen Mingxuan, who had outstanding looks, but after being played with by him, she pushed him away with biting remarks.
“I’ve seen plenty of women like you, relying on your seductive looks to seduce men. How despicable are you? It disgusts me just to look at you. Get lost!”
Bai Qingqing felt humiliated, her eyes turning red, and she felt embarrassed, hiding away.
In the beginning, Bai Tiantian’s spatial ability wasn’t powerful. She could only store limited supplies, and in the team, she also helped with cooking. Bai Qingqing, on the other hand, couldn’t do anything and couldn’t be of any help.
Liang Zhiyu called everyone together to discuss, “We can take Bai Tiantian with us, but what about Bai Qingqing?”
Shen Mingxuan impatiently replied, “We don’t keep idle people in our team. Just find a safe zone and dump her there.”
“Brother Fu, Bai Qingqing always bullies Bai Tiantian. Let’s release her quickly,” Xiao Yang suggested.
Cheng Rui added, “I agree to send her to the nearest safe zone.”
Everyone agreed, and Fu Chen planned the route to send Bai Qingqing to Wucheng, where she could live in the survivor’s safe zone. As for what would happen in the end, it would depend on her own fate.
Useless, burden, abandoned… Bai Qingqing might have overheard their conversation and trembled with fear.
…
Bai Qingqing intentionally dressed provocatively and fell into Cheng Rui’s arms. His brows furrowed, and he heartlessly threw her aside.
The girl fell to the ground, caught off guard, with a large bruise on her body. She looked at him pitifully through the pain, “I’m hurt, could you help me up?”
Cheng Rui didn’t even spare her a glance and walked past her expressionlessly.
Bai Qingqing could only endure the pain and limp back to the car, her wretched appearance drawing strange looks from several people.
She felt an intense burning sensation in her heart but could only endure the humiliation and painful emotions.
Because she wanted to survive.
Bai Qingqing had never seduced anyone before. She thought Cheng Rui would react strongly only if he was tempted.
After several failed and clumsy attempts at seduction, Cheng Rui finally became furious. Without controlling his strength, he directly twisted her troublesome hand, “If you get close to me again, it won’t just be your hand that gets broken.”
Bai Qingqing cried out in pain, begging him meekly to spare her. Her desire to survive was too strong, and Bai Qingqing didn’t want to be sent to the so-called safe zone, where she would become a tool for others’ desires. She shifted her target once again, this time to Captain Fu Chen.
