Bai Meiyue didn’t stop her family, and her attention went back to the chips in her lap. She was about to take a sip of the bone broth soup that her mother had brought for her when the doorbell of her electric door echoed in the silent corridor. Frowning, Bai Meiyue got to her feet and then walked out of the living room and through the corridor before coming to a stop in front of the iron gate.
She first saw who it was, and only then did she open the door. Upon seeing Yang Wei, who was standing outside with his wife, she couldn’t help but tilt her head to one side in silence. She couldn’t understand why the two of them returned so soon. Yang Wei and his wife lowered their heads in silence and embarrassment. The two of them went to the small shopping mall where they had been staying, but they never expected that the place had already been taken over by another family. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The family were simply unreasonable, as they had an ability user with them; even though that woman was not as strong as Bai Meiyue, she was still stronger than Yang Wei and his wife. Thus, she easily chased them out of the shopping mall. What was more, if they wanted to stay alone, then they had to fend off the zombies all day long.
At the start, Yang Wei could do it, but fighting zombies without any rest made him tired and weak, not to mention that he also had to look for supplies for his wife and child. As a normal person, he couldn’t do it.
In the end, Yang Wei had no choice but to come looking for Bai Meiyue. At least if he stayed with her, he only needed to worry about hunting zombies and finding crystal nuclei. That should be enough for Bai Meiyue.
Bai Meiyue stared at the two people, and when they didn’t say anything, she arched her brow and then said to the two of them, "What’s the matter?"
"I... we..." Yang Wei opened his mouth but didn’t know where to start. What was he supposed to say to Bai Meiyue? He promised that he would not bother her once his son was born, but now he was standing in front of her once again, hoping that she would take them in. Even if he didn’t want to admit it, it was quite shameless of him.
When Sister Yang saw that her husband was having a hard time speaking the truth, she stepped forward and righted the patched hat that she was wearing on her head. She said to Bai Meiyue awkwardly, "Miss Bai, can we stay here? I am not saying that we will live here for free; we will give you crystal nuclei in exchange for the supplies we will use as well as rent for our stay under your team."
"Oh?" Bai Meiyue raised her eyebrows when she heard the request of the Yang couple.
