Bai Yaoyao couldn't help smiling when she saw everyone looking like that.
"All right, what's gotten into you?" Once Bai Yaoyao had calmed down, she suddenly realized that her companions seemed even more upset than she was.
Peiqi threw herself straight into Bai Yaoyao's arms. "Sister Yao, you won't abandon us, will you?"
The other youngsters pretended not to care, but their ears were all pricked up. Bai Yaoyao couldn't help rolling her eyes hard.
"What nonsense are you imagining? Would I have to be crazy to abandon you? Without you, what would I even be living for? There'd be no point at all.
"In my last life, Fat Brother and the others risked their lives holding off that Emperor-Class Zombie, trying to give me a chance to escape. But I just couldn't do it. In the end, I let you down and died alongside you..."
Bai Yaoyao rarely mentioned her previous life to them. Hearing her bring it up so suddenly... everyone could clearly feel her sorrow.
They hardly ever saw Sister Yao like this...
Peiqi, who had brought up the subject, wanted to slap herself. Sister Yao was already in a bad mood today, and here she was making trouble for no reason!
Bai Yaoyao kneaded Peiqi's scrunched-up cheeks and said, "All right, stop overthinking it. We're each other's family. As for the Bai Family, we'll just get along with them normally."
Only then did the clouds hanging over Dark Night's youngsters clear...
Stone suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and discreetly checked what was happening outside.
"It's pretty lively out there. Yaoyao, there are two familiar faces, too."
Only then did Bai Yaoyao remember Wang Yuanbao and his son. She sent A-Dai out to bring them in.
"When did you get here? Why didn't you knock?"
