Jiang You looked at the outstretched hand. She didn't like physical contact with strangers.
She simply said, "Hello."
Chu Yue tugged at Chu Yu's clothes, "Sister, the big cat~"
Chu Yu immediately smiled again.
"Um, my sister used to have a cat too, but it got lost later. She really likes your pet, can she pet it?"
Her voice was very gentle, and she looked like a considerate older sister.
Chu Yue also opened her bright eyes, "Sister, can I pet the big cat?"
Jiang You looked down at Da Zhuang.
Da Zhuang's fur was all on end. Similarly, he didn't like being touched by others.
Seeing the little girl's longing gaze, Da Zhuang bared his teeth: Human cub, don't even think about it!
His rejection was self-evident.
Jiang You shook her head, "She's not my pet, she's my companion. If you want to pet it, and it agrees, I have no objections. I can't make any decisions for it." Except forcing it to take a bath.
Upon hearing this, Da Zhuang's mood instantly improved.
At least this guy has some conscience. He's worthy of being someone I look out for!
Chu Yue was rejected again and started crying with grievance.
Chu Yu said, "My sister doesn't have much strength, it's not a big deal if she pets it, right?
Miss Jiang, and besides, it's just a cat, it doesn't understand anything.
You're so generous, you surely won't refuse a child's simple request, right?"
She spoke with a hint of grievance, "She's still a child, she should have lived a happy life, but now... this damned world."
Jiang You was surprised, her almond-shaped eyes widening slightly. Where did this weirdo come from?
Why are you acting so wronged!
"Even though your sister is young, I think you should teach her more lessons. The first lesson in life should be accepting rejection from others. After all, no one is obligated to accommodate you, even for a small thing."
Chu Yu wanted to say something else.
She then said to Song Cheng, "If you let your family members keep stopping me from talking like this, I'm going to charge you extra, calculated by the second, settled by the minute."
Song Cheng glanced at Chu Yu upon hearing this.
"You go take care of your business. Fang Mu is gone, but since I promised him I would look after you, I will definitely keep my word, but only if you don't cause trouble."
Chu Yu looked at Song Cheng with red eyes, a tear about to fall, her expression filled with disbelief.
If one didn't know better, they'd think Song Cheng was some kind of heartless scumbag.
Yang Jiao rolled her eyes so hard they almost went to the heavens. She and Chu Yu had never gotten along.
Although Chu Yu and Fang Mu had been dating for several years and had even discussed marriage.
However, her social media persona had always been that of a single person, and she always posted ambiguous messages.
Yang Jiao had warned Fang Mu that he was probably Chu Yu's backup plan.
After all, Chu Yu was very good-looking and her spending was outrageous, while Fang Mu's family background wasn't bad, but he wasn't exactly wealthy.
It was just a normal family.
For Chu Yu's birthday, she wanted a designer bag, so Fang Mu borrowed money from all his friends, forcing them to eat steamed buns for half a month.
When Chu Yu wanted to buy clothes, Fang Mu took on three part-time jobs, working himself to death.
Chu Yu was beautiful and needed the best skincare products, but her own family background was also average, so she asked Fang Mu for money.
Chu Yu's sister wanted to go to Disneyland but didn't have money, so she asked Fang Mu.
Chu Yu went on a trip with her classmates and asked Fang Mu for money.
The key was that the classmate was a man!
Chu Yu said that man was gay and her good sister, her male confidante.
But Yang Jiao didn't believe it. After all, often, "gay" could turn into "cheating."
And Yang Jiao had personally seen that male classmate kissing a woman passionately in a bar. Could a gay man kiss a woman passionately?
Unless he was bisexual?
That would be even more dangerous.
But Fang Mu, the fool, didn't believe it. It was as if he was under a spell.
He believed everything Chu Yu said. With that IQ, it was a wonder he even got into the police academy.
It could only be said that love makes people lose their minds.
Cannot find by searching book title, you can try searching the author, maybe they just changed their name!
Even Fang Mu's parents had died, and he himself had been infected with the zombie virus. In the last moment before losing consciousness, his dying words were to hold Song Cheng's hand and ask him to take care of Chu Yu.
Perhaps it was death that restored a sliver of his intelligence.
He gave another set of instructions, emphasizing that they shouldn't endanger themselves.
At least that guy had a tiny bit of a conscience.
Yang Jiao walked straight up and grabbed Chu Yu, pulling her aside.
"Lao Song and the others are busy with important matters, you shouldn't get involved. What are you doing petting a cat? Is that even a cat? Also, I think you should really make your sister understand the situation. Look, we have several children among us. But they all know to help the adults. Only Xiao Yue, she spends all day playing with ants or complaining that the food isn't good enough. This isn't a peaceful era anymore, no one will indulge her. If she continues to be clueless, she'll die a horrible death, and so will you."
"Are you threatening me?"
Chu Yu's eyes widened in disbelief. Then, she watched as Song Cheng and the others entered the bunker.
The gentle expression on her face changed, and she lowered her voice, whispering into Yang Jiao's ear.
"Song Cheng promised Fang Mu he would protect me. If you dare to touch me, he won't let you off! Don't think I don't know, you're just jealous of me. You like Song Cheng, but he's always treated you like a brother. Seeing how nice he's been to me lately, you can't stand it."
She scanned Yang Jiao with her eyes.
"Look at yourself. You're always fighting and killing, how are you like a girl? Just you wait, Song Cheng... will be mine too."
"You're talking nonsense. Do you think Song Cheng is like Fang Mu, that easily fooled love idiot?"
"Heh, if you don't believe me, just wait and see. Men... are all visual creatures. Between a fierce tomboy and a delicate beauty in front of him, who do you think he'll prefer?"
She grinned smugly and left with Chu Yue.
Before leaving, Chu Yue kicked Yang Jiao. "Pah, you bad woman!"
Yang Jiao gritted her teeth and sneered.
Men like delicate women?
Heh, then you just keep being delicate! If you don't stand up for yourself, do you expect someone to protect you forever? How many Fang Mus do you think exist in this world?
Meanwhile, inside the bunker, they placed the weapons Song Cheng wanted in their designated spots.
Then, they put down the agreed-upon instant noodles, self-heating rice, and compressed biscuits.
One grenade was exchanged for instant noodles and self-heating rice. The rest were all traded for compressed biscuits. He only kept three for himself.
Several people's eyes lit up as they looked at the several boxes of compressed biscuits and instant noodles.
Da Zhuang, in particular, hugged a box, tears of excitement streaming down his face.
"Boss, sob sob, we're finally doing well..."
"We finally don't have to eat fish every day!"
He choked back his sobs, trying not to speak too loudly, afraid of being overheard.
This bunker was occupied by Song Cheng's group, and others couldn't enter. They had no idea what was inside. Although the cave was deep, and normal conversation wouldn't be heard outside, Song Cheng still whispered his instructions.
"Everything we brought back this time will be stored here, covered with a tarp. None of you are allowed to speak of it."
Guan Jun nodded. "I understand, Boss."
Da Zhuang said, "I understand too. I absolutely won't tell anyone!"
Just then, Yang Jiao returned.
She happened to hear Song Cheng's words and nodded. "We know what we're doing, you can rest assured."
Song Cheng continued, "Although Chu Yu knows we'll be bringing back a batch of weapons, she hasn't actually seen them with her own eyes. Those two sisters are an unpredictable factor. From now on, don't let them near the back of the bunker. Use things to separate the back from the front. The back will be used as a warehouse."
His relationship with Chu Yu was limited to being his brother's girlfriend. Therefore, he didn't fully trust her, especially her past behavior when she was dating Fang Mu, which made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Da Zhuang said upon hearing this, "Boss, are you really planning to keep Chu Yu and the others with us?"
