From Now On, I Will Slave Away to Repay You

"No, I don't want it! I don't want your food! I don't want to be home alone! I just want to go with you! Please... Wang Tao!"

Ding Yuqin grabbed Wang Tao's hand tightly, somewhat agitated, tears welling up in her eyes.

It was the first time Wang Tao had seen Ding Yuqin so distraught, and he was silent for a moment.

"No, it's too dangerous outside."

"I'm not afraid of danger! As long as you take me with you, I'm not afraid of anything!"

Ding Yuqin said quickly.

Wang Tao was silent again, then said, "Forgive me for speaking frankly, Sister-in-law, but your physique is too weak. Going out with me would only make you a burden."

Hearing this, Ding Yuqin's face turned paler and paler.

Then she bit her lower lip, as if she had made some kind of determination, and said with some fear and feigned seduction, "As long as you take Sister-in-law with you, I'll do whatever you want... Please!"

Wang Tao still didn't speak. But he frowned, as if he was thinking.

Seeing that his words seemed to be effective, Ding Yuqin's heart rekindled with hope.

If one could live, no one would want to die.

But Wang Tao's next words seemed to sentence her to death.

"Sorry, I still think you should stay in your house, Sister-in-law. Okay, let's not talk about this, let's eat."

Wang Tao withdrew his hand from Ding Yuqin's.

Not talk about it? How could she not talk about it! She, Ding Yuqin, was not even thirty years old yet, she still had a lot of good years ahead of her, she didn't want to die! Ding Yuqin looked desperate.

Looking at the sumptuous food in front of her, she couldn't eat at all...

Although Wang Tao had a large appetite, he ate quickly.

Before Ding Yuqin could recover, he had already finished eating. Then he got up and prepared to pack his equipment.

But then there was a "thump".

Ding Yuqin suddenly knelt down in front of Wang Tao, hugged his thigh tightly, and said with tears in her eyes:

"Wang Tao, I won't be a burden to you! Really, I swear! If there's any danger you can't handle, just throw me away! I only hope that when you have the strength to spare, you can protect me... For the sake of us being neighbors, for the sake of your Brother Zhao, please! Please..."

Looking down at Ding Yuqin kneeling in front of him, it had to be said, there was indeed a hint of perverted pleasure.

But Wang Tao wasn't going to continue scaring her, because the Health Bar above Ding Yuqin's head was almost empty. Just now, her Health Bar had dropped by twenty or thirty... If he scared her any more, she might really die.

So, Wang Tao squatted down, preparing to pat Ding Yuqin's shoulder. But Ding Yuqin might have misunderstood, she suddenly grabbed Wang Tao's hand, then pressed it against her face, and said, choking with sobs, "Wang Tao, as long as you don't abandon Sister-in-law, I'll do anything for you in the future to repay you..."

Feeling the softness on his hand, Wang Tao gently wiped away Ding Yuqin's tears.

Looking at her somewhat frightened and even desperate eyes, Wang Tao showed a hint of doubt on his face and said:

"Sister-in-law, when did I say I was going to abandon you?"

"You, you said you were going out, you said I was a burden, and you wouldn't take me with you, isn't that abandoning me... Wuwu..."

"I said I was going to leave the Residential Area and go outside to find diesel for the Diesel Generator at home. If I took you with me for such a dangerous thing, wouldn't you be a burden?"

"...?"

"Of course, if you really insist on going out with me, then I respect your opinion. Get ready, let's leave now."

After Wang Tao finished speaking, he got up directly to put on his equipment, leaving Ding Yuqin in a daze.

It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a long time, before Ding Yuqin quickly got up, trotted behind Wang Tao, and said with some excitement and disbelief, "Wang Tao, you, are you telling the truth? You're just going out to find supplies, and you'll come back, right! You won't abandon me..."

Wang Tao turned around, his face a little displeased.

"Sister-in-law, are you doubting my words, not believing me?"

"No, no, no, I'm not doubting you! I believe you! I definitely believe you! I'm just, just too excited..."

Ding Yuqin quickly put her hands together and bowed to Wang Tao.

"Okay, Sister-in-law, hurry up and eat. We're leaving soon."

"Ah, leave? Where to?"

"Of course, to find diesel. Sister-in-law, aren't you coming with me? Hurry up, let's try to go early and return early."

"..."

To be honest, she was still a little unsure if Wang Tao's words were true, and if Wang Tao might really just leave.

If she followed Wang Tao, then even if Wang Tao really left, she wouldn't be left alone here.

But Wang Tao didn't seem to be lying to her, especially since Wang Tao had always been very good to her before, and shouldn't be saying false things. But if she really went out with Wang Tao to find supplies, the danger would be too great, far less safe than waiting at home, and she would indeed become Wang Tao's burden...

After thinking for a few seconds, Ding Yuqin pinched the corner of her skirt, lowered her head, and said a little embarrassedly:

"I, I... I'll just wait for you at home..."

"Sister-in-law, are you going out with me, or waiting at home?"

"I'll wait for you to come back!"

Ding Yuqin didn't hesitate this time and spoke immediately.

"Alright. Then you stay at home and wait, don't run around."

"Okay, okay! I'll help you put on your equipment!"

Ding Yuqin wiped her eyes, not caring about her makeup being a bit smudged from crying, and quickly went to help Wang Tao.

After preparing, Wang Tao took a few packs of instant noodles and handed them to Ding Yuqin.

"I think I should be back by tonight at the latest, but I don't dare to be too sure. Take these foods first, and if I'm really delayed, it won't leave you hungry."

"Thank you!"

Ding Yuqin quickly took them.

"Okay, let's go."

Wang Tao and Ding Yuqin went out together. After watching Ding Yuqin return to her home, Wang Tao continued downstairs.

"Wang Tao, you must come back safely!"

Behind him, Ding Yuqin opened a crack in the door and whispered with some worry.

It was unclear whether she was worried about Wang Tao getting hurt, or worried that Wang Tao would leave and never return.

"Okay."

Wang Tao waved his hand.

When he got downstairs, he didn't go straight out, but went to 201 first, and slightly opened a crack in the window of 201, which didn't have security bars. In case someone blocked the unit door when he came back, he could climb in from here.

Although it was unlikely to be needed, it was better to be prepared.

When he came out, the Balding Uncle also came out, probably hearing the noise. When he saw Wang Tao fully armed, he looked surprised.

"Little brother, you are... going out?"

"Yeah. The supplies at home are not enough, so I have to go out and find some."

Although he still had a lot of supplies at home, his consumption was also high, so saying that the supplies were not enough was not a problem.

"Two people in your family, that's a lot of consumption!"

The Balding Uncle had seen Wang Tao and Ding Yuqin acting together before, and he thought Ding Yuqin was Wang Tao's girlfriend.

Although they were in the same building, there were many cases where they didn't know each other, so it wasn't strange.
