Wu Chengyue carried Wu Yueling to the bed after cleaning her hands and feet.
Good girl, lie down.
He put his daughter down and covered her with a blanket, then rubbed her soft hair.
Wu Yueling closed her eyes expectantly.
Then, Wu Chengyue turned and walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower. After that, he came out in a pair of trousers and flip-flops, with his upper body bared.
He sat on a couch. On the table before him was a bottle of liquor and a glass. Liquor was one of the most favorite things of most of the men in the post-apocalyptic era. Quite some of them could be found, as they could be stored for a very long time.
He picked up the bottle and took off the plug, then poured some liquor into the glass.
This was a bottle of vodka.
He put down the bottle and put the plug back in, then leisurely leaned against the back of the couch and poured some vodka into his mouth.
It tasted smooth, yet brought him a weird, fire-like stimulation when it flowed into his throat from the tip of tongue, following to burn into his stomach.
He narrowed his pretty, slender eyes, enjoying the passionate, burning feeling. From time to time, his eyes turned to the glass door on the balcony, which was the only open door in the suite.
Lin Qiao came in and saw Wu Chengyue drinking alone in the living room. She gave him a glance as she felt a little strange about him drinking alone. After that, she moved toward the bedroom, but stopped after she had made only two steps.
She dropped her eyelids slightly, and then turned to look at the man on the couch.
As she thought, that man seemed to have sensed something. He put the glass on the table and then stood up. Next, he slowly walked to the glass door and raised a hand to close and lock it.
Since you’re here, make it clear before you leave,
he smilingly turned to look at Wu Yueling who was on the bed in the living room, then said.
Lin Qiao stayed silent.
Wu Yueling heard her Daddy talking and immediately realized something. She hurriedly sat up from the bed and stared at the glass door.
Lin Qiao sighed and showed her face.
She ignored Wu Chengyue, but walked straight into the bedroom.
Seeing Lin Qiao, Wu Yueling’s eyes glowed instantly. She happily watched her Zombie Mom walk into the bedroom.
This time, Lin Qiao again looked different from what Wu Yueling remembered. Her face was the same as before, but her hair had grown long. The black and soft hair hang loosely on her shoulders.
Her eyes were different as well. There were still no white parts in her eyes, but her pupils had become glowing green. Compared with the black parts of her eyes, those pupils looked like two stars in the dark sky.
Those eyes of hers were weirdly beautiful.
Wu Yueling gazed into her eyes, feeling interested.
Lin Qiao walked to the bed and sat on the bedside, then rubbed the little girl’s head and said to her,
You see, I came to see you as I promised. You need to be happy.
Wu Yueling looked at her with a pair of sparkling eyes and nodded.
Lin Qiao took back her hand and continued,
Alright! Since I’m right here, can Ling Ling go to sleep now?
Wu Yueling didn’t lie down, but kept looking at her. Lin Qiao had no choice but to hold her little hands to read her mind.
‘Can you stay tonight?
‘ she said.
Lin Qiao looked at her, smiled helplessly and said,
Later, I need to leave for a place far, far away. There is something that I must do. I don’t know when I will be back. So Ling Ling, you have to be a sweetheart and go back home with your Daddy. I’ll go to your place to visit you when I’m back, okay?
Hearing Lin Qiao say that there was something that has to be done, Wu Yueling was a little unhappy. However, she didn’t try to stop her, because her Daddy had told her that doing something meant working, and that adults needed to work to earn food. Without working, people would have no food, and without food, people would starve to death!
Only after Lin Qiao promised to go to her place to visit her when she had finished that important thing did Wu Yueling nod.Then, Lin Qiao abruptly put her mouth near the little girl’s ear and whispered,
Would you like to talk to Viney?
Hearing that, Wu Yueling’s eyes shone brightly and she quickly nodded at Lin Qiao. That slight unhappiness which she had just now was immediately gone.
Lin Qiao put the girl’s hands on her lower belly. After that, Viney’s voice could be heard— ‘Ahlalalala, the little one… Do you miss me…’
Wu Yueling nodded.
Viney continued— ‘Viney needs to sleep a lot so I can grow up. So, little one, I can’t always come out to talk to you. You have to stay happy!’
Lin Qiao quietly listened to the conversation between the two little things.
A while later, Viney got tired. She told Wu Yueling that she needed to go to sleep and asked the latter to do the same.
Lin Qiao then said to Wu Yueling,
Alright, just go to sleep. Children who don’t sleep enough can’t grow tall.
Wu Yueling didn’t understand why she had to grow tall, but she did feel that being unable to grow tall was a bad thing. So, she obediently lied down and prepared to sleep for real.
Wu Chengyue sat back onto the couch after saying that one sentence to Lin Qiao.
When Lin Qiao came out of the bedroom, she found an extra glass on the table, with some vodka in it.
Please have a seat,
Wu Chengyue smilingly glanced at her, then pointed at the couch and pushed the glass of vodka toward her.
Lin Qiao sat down and picked up the glass of vodka curiously before putting it under her nose to sniff at it,
Have you seen a zombie drinking vodka?
Wu Chengyue smiled as he raised his eyebrows and looked at her while responding,
Haven’t I just seen it?
Lin Qiao glanced at him and said,
I haven’t drunk it yet.
Wu Chengyue replied,
You’re holding the glass like someone who drinks a lot. Why don’t you take a sip and give it a try? Will alcohol affect zombies?
His words sound casual, but in fact, he was trying to prod Lin Qiao into drinking.
Lin Qiao shook her head and said,
No zombie has tried alcohol yet. Why don’t we just start talking?
She understood that since this man was expecting her in this place, she wouldn’t be able to leave until their negotiation led to a result.
Wu Chengyue lazily leaned on the back of the couch, holding the edge of the glass and gently swaying it. He stared at Lin Qiao’s green eyes and said,
Aren’t you supposed to start the conversation. I think that I’m a victim. You should apologize to me, shouldn’t you?
Lin Qiao stayed silent.
‘Apologize? Damn! How am I supposed to continue this conversation? I didn’t entrap you! What did that have to do with me? Why would I apologize to you?’
She calmly responded with,
Wait a minute! I’m a victim too. I don’t think either of us should apologize to the other.
Wu Chengyue gave her a meaningful smile while saying,
What if I say that… you’ve done it more than once, and I also want you to apologize and compensate me for the other time?
‘The other time?’
Lin Qiao looked at him with confusion. ‘That thing only happened once. Did it happen twice… Wait…’
Lin Qiao suddenly narrowed her eyes and blinked.
I get it,
she said,
If you’re talking about that thing, I think you have already forgiven me for that as I’ve saved Ling Ling’s life several times.
