Li Meiying watched her daughter sobbing, her face streaked with tears, and felt deeply distressed.
But she hardened her heart and smacked the back of her head hard. "What are you crying for?"
"The last thing this world needs is tears. If you keep going like this, you might as well leave with me. At least then I won't have to worry about you even after I'm dead."
Li Xiaoni hurriedly wiped her tears haphazardly with her sleeve, her shoulders trembling.
"Mom, I won't cry. I won't cry. Please don't leave me alone. I'm scared. I'll really be scared all by myself."
Li Meiying glanced at her daughter, sighed inwardly, then raised her head and pleaded with Su Qiao.
"Miss Su, although my Xiaoni is only ten years old, she's very sensible and clever. She's also learned how to kill zombies, and she doesn't eat much. Could I beg you to show her some kindness and take her in?"
"You can have her follow Wang Cheng and the others. They're soldiers and will protect her."
Su Qiao already had a Little Friend with her, and she didn't want to take in another one.
Li Meiying shook her head firmly. "No! I don't trust anyone else. I only trust you! You're a good person."
Su Qiao: "..." A good person?
When had she ever given Li Meiying that kind of impression?
Su Qiao scratched her head.
She had a bit of a headache.
She really wasn't a good person and definitely wouldn't show kindness at random.
Although Liu Shasha felt that what she was doing was a little excessive, when she saw Li Meiying's completely toothless mouth, she still couldn't help softening.
"Miss, can we keep Xiaoni?"
"Don't worry. I'll take care of her. I won't let her bother you."
