Her skin is delicate and even a slight touch would leave red marks and bruises, making people feel a bit distressed when they see it.
Fu Chen lowered his gaze and looked at her sleeping figure, cute and obedient. He could continue watching her like this without getting tired.
There are few things in this world that he cares about. In his previous life, he only cared about a few brothers who fought alongside him in the team. Now, there is one more person.
When the two girls from the Bai family were rescued and brought into the car, the members of the team didn’t have a deep understanding of each other. In her previous life, she ended up in a miserable situation because of her arrogance.
At that time, he didn’t even care about Bai Tiantian, let alone someone more troublesome like her.
In a world full of post-apocalyptic crises, there is no time to understand the personality of every person. The personality she displayed on the surface was detestable, and it was impossible for her to stay in the team.
Now, regardless of whether she truly lost her memory or faked it, he no longer cares.
She belongs to him, his precious little sister. He has someone to protect in his life and wants her to be safe, happy, and unharmed forever.
The sleeping girl murmured in her sleep, moved her body, and Fu Chen came back to his senses, looking at her and using his knuckle-defined hand to brush away a strand of hair that stuck to her lips.
Going out early and returning late, she spent the whole day with Cheng Rui.
Fu Chen thought this way, feeling a bit displeased deep down. His gaze gradually became profound, and his fingers pressed against her petal-like lips, gently caressing them.
He said Cheng Rui would take care of her, and she actually went to be with Cheng Rui. Why is she so obedient?
Fu Chen stood up and went to the indoor bathroom, prepared hot water, and then pushed her by the bed. “Qingqing, take a bath before sleeping.”
Bai Qingqing was very tired, unable to open her eyes. She buried her head in the pillow and said, “I don’t want to.”
Fu Chen directly pulled her out of the blanket, picked her up, and placed her in the water in the bathroom. Bai Qingqing squinted her eyes and pouted, “You’re so annoying.”
At this moment, she wasn’t afraid of him anymore, her spoiled and arrogant appearance resembling that of a young lady.
Fu Chen walked out of the bathroom and casually closed the door, leaving the bedroom.
Bai Qingqing was too drowsy to open her eyes. She lazily took a bath and wrapped herself in a bathrobe before returning to the bedroom. She lifted the blanket and climbed back in to continue sleeping.
Fu Chen came back holding the ointment and saw her round shoulders exposed, her neck hair slightly wet, her delicate little face radiating a tempting rosy glow, with a faint scent of shower gel lingering in the air.
Fu Chen’s gaze darkened slightly. He walked to the edge of the bed and tightly wrapped the blanket around her upper body. His hand reached into the blanket and grasped her slender leg. The moment he touched her smooth and moist skin, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Soon, he composed himself and pulled out her leg, placing it on his thigh. He lowered his head and applied the ointment to her, his movements slow and deliberate as if he was doing some great undertaking. Those two or three minutes felt particularly captivating.
The ointment wasn’t drying quickly, and she tended to move in her sleep. Fu Chen, for some reason, blew gently on it.
…
The next day.
Bai Qingqing woke up and stretched lazily in the bed, her hands reaching backward inside the covers. She had slept in a daze last night and didn’t feel anything wrong.
After freshening up and changing clothes, she went downstairs and saw the team members gathered in the dining room. She smiled and greeted everyone without any hint of sadness or unhappiness.
Xiao Yang hesitated to speak and looked at Fu Chen. Hasn’t the captain told Bai Qingqing yet about abandoning her?
Bai Tiantian’s eyes showed a worried expression as she tightened her grip on her chopsticks.
“Cheng Rui,” Bai Qingqing didn’t even look at Fu Chen and ran to the side of the tall Cheng Rui, grabbing his arm. She smiled and said, “Are the fried dough sticks delicious? Let me taste.”
She reached out and snatched the fried dough stick that Cheng Rui had taken a bite of, biting the other end directly. She took a small bite, and her chewing appearance looked especially cute.
The members of the team were shocked, looking at this scene.
Bai Qingqing seemed unaware and blinked her eyes, saying, “Why is everyone staring at me? Do I have something on my face?”
As we all know, Fu Chen is obsessed with doting on his sister. I wonder what he would feel upon seeing this scene.
He became the captain for less than half a year, and his sister has already become someone else’s possession. Would he become insanely jealous and immediately attack the other person?
They thought about what Fu Chen said yesterday about abandoning Bai Qingqing. Did she already know that she would be abandoned and was resisting in her own way? No wonder she suddenly became close to Cheng Rui.
Liang Zhiyu seemed to think of something, a smile of interest appearing at the corner of his lips.
Shen Mingxuan sneered, finding it ridiculous to worry about something that flashed through his mind. Even without Fu Chen, she could still live a smooth life.
Only Xiao Yang and Bai Tiantian felt a pang of heartache, silently watching her.
Fu Chen remained expressionless, as if he hadn’t seen this scene, calmly eating his breakfast, seemingly unconcerned about Bai Qingqing.
“Cheng Rui, are you busy today?” Bai Qingqing grabbed Cheng Rui’s arm and affectionately said, “Let’s go out and play again. The base is so big, and there are many places we haven’t been to.”
“Okay.” Cheng Rui never refused her, glanced at Fu Chen, and left the villa with her.
After the two left the villa, the strange atmosphere in the dining room dissipated. Xiao Yang put down his chopsticks, feeling bored, and went back to his room.
Fu Chen got up and walked outside the villa. Bai Tiantian noticed that he seemed to be having breakfast, with a large amount of food left in his bowl. The professor couple sighed. These kids didn’t know what was going on, beating around the bush and making the atmosphere strange.
Liang Zhiyu’s eyes flashed with an interested smile. He had a feeling that Bai Qingqing would be involved in the journey to the City of Death.
Since the modified car was destroyed during the zombie tide, the team had to rework another vehicle before setting off again. Chéng Yán arranged for people to help Xiao Yang and Liang Zhiyu with the modification.
Cheng Rui and Bai Qingqing went on a secret date, while Fu Chen was nowhere to be seen. Bai Tiantian was left idle in the villa, and Shen Mingxuan was wiping and studying various firearms.
Fu Chen had never changed his mind. Bai Tiantian felt anxious in her heart and sat next to Shen Mingxuan. She could see that Shen Mingxuan cared for her the most and wanted to start from him.
“Míngxuān, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”
Shen Mingxuan put down his gun. “Do you want me to help plead for Bai Qingqing?”
Bai Tiantian nodded, timidly saying, “Míngxuān, do you remember what happened in Zhōucūn? The women in Zhōucūn were pitiful, oppressed and forced to learn strange virtues by those men.”
“Not only did they have to serve men well, but they also had to work and go out to deceive men to return to the village. If they failed the mission, they would be punished and beaten. It was Qingqing who saved them.”
“Qingqing has changed a lot. She’s beautiful and has her own opinions. She has saved many innocent women. She won’t be a burden to the team. Can you ask the captain to let her stay?”
A lot happened when the team was in Zhōucūn, and apart from Bai Tiantian, no one really knew what Bái Qingqing did in Zhōucūn. They only knew that Bái Qingqing saved that couple and had completely overturned the local backward customs.
Shen Mingxuan was stunned, feeling a strange sensation welling up inside him. He grew up in a twisted family environment. His mother claimed to love him very much, only him, so after abusing him, she would apply gentle ointments and cry, saying that there was only him.
His father was a complete scumbag, cheating on his mother and keeping a mistress, while his mother was weak and dared not resist, so she took out her negative emotions by tormenting him.
Later, his mother died from domestic violence by his father. He hated his father. There was no love in this world, only women who used all sorts of tricks and flattery to climb up.
When Bái Qingqing initially seduced him, he saw through her poor acting skills and deceived her, making her think she had a chance, and then violently throwing her to the ground, trampling on her dignity.
After losing her memory, her true nature remained unchanged, still intending to seduce the men in the team, but her methods were much more sophisticated than before.
He wanted to expose her true face but found it impossible because, for now, she was beneficial to the team, and the captain still protected her like a sister.
Bái Qingqing had indeed changed a lot, enough to surprise people.
Seeing a slight change in Shen Mingxuan’s expression, Bai Tiantian said, “Please go talk to the captain about letting Qingqing stay. I’m begging you.”
“The captain’s decision is not something I can stop,” Shen Mingxuan said indifferently.
Bai Tiantian looked disappointed. “Is there really no other way?”
Shen Mingxuan thought of her fiery fights with Cheng Rui and sneered, “What if she wants to stay in the base herself?”
Bai Tiantian fell silent. She didn’t know what Bái Qingqing really wanted.
…
Yàoyáng Base was one of the five major bases, with all kinds of supplies and weapons needed by the superhumans.
Fu Chen walked alone on the street. When he saw some beautiful things, he subconsciously thought of Qingqing. He walked into a shop selling cold weapons, casually scanning the surroundings.
Guns were difficult to continue firing at zombies after running out of bullets, so for superhumans, cold weapons were the best choice. They could use their superpowers to enhance the weapons’ effectiveness against large groups of zombies.
The shop owner saw him dressed in black, tall and with a cold and noble temperament. He could tell he wasn’t an ordinary person and quickly walked over with a smile, “Sir, what kind of weapon are you interested in buying?”
“We have knives, guns, swords, crossbows… all kinds of weapons. Which one do you like?”
Fu Chen fixed his gaze on a Tang sword hanging on the wall. He remembered that when they were in Jiāngchéng, she had casually picked up a sword and cut down zombies. After a few swings, the blade was damaged and couldn’t be used anymore.
At that time, she had complained about the poor quality of the sword, wondering if the seller had used shoddy materials.
The Tang sword hanging on the wall was a dark red color, intricately carved with runes, and looked exquisitely made. She would definitely like it.
Yàoyáng Base belonged to the Cheng family, and with Cheng Rui’s protection, she wouldn’t be in danger. However, he still wanted to prepare something for her protection.
After purchasing the Tang sword, he took it back to the villa. Just as he returned, he heard that Cheng Rui had already come back to the villa, but Bái Qingqing had yet to return.
She was missing.
