Zhao Longfei frowned. "Don't make up random fucking connections, kid. My sister-in-law died of illness before the apocalypse."
"If my brother heard you say that, he'd twist your head clean off!"

"Just look at Little Zhao and Xuanxuan's reconciliation last time. I deserve credit for both the results and the hard work!"
Zhao Longfei thought about it. That was true.
