In the following period, both Ping An Shi Fu and Zhi Zi Hua Kai added Leng Ye Bai as a friend.

Leng Yebai stared at his phone with a cold expression, clicking on each QR code and cutting off a portion of the code.

It took President Leng an hour just to make one cut.

An hour later, the phone went silent again.

After confirming that his phone was no longer ringing, Leng Yebai drove out of the parking lot.

Even though he wanted to go home, he stopped at the entrance of Bai Xizhu's residential complex.

It was already dark.

She must already be resting.

Leng Yebai stared silently at the residential area in front of him, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

No one can understand what it feels like to have the same dream for N consecutive days.

No one can understand how unbearable the regret in a dream can be.

That dream felt like a nightmare, and that radiant smile was etched into his mind.

It was as if they had known each other for a long time.

He thought he was probably too busy, which was why he had such a strange dream.

That was just a dream.

But then he saw her in real life.

Leng Yebai took a deep breath, trying to calm his wildly beating heart.

Leng Yebai knew he was being absurd by clinging to his dream.

But the moment he saw Bai Xizhu, he was almost certain that she was the one from his dreams.

Leng Yebai held his phone, leaning back quietly in his seat, feeling drowsy.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

I am always startled awake, and each time I am filled with endless regret.

This time, Leng Yebai had the same dream again.

The girl said, "Let's die together!"

He replied with the same answer, "Okay."

Finally, with mixed feelings, I asked, "What's your name?"

A crisp, clear sound rang in my mind.

She said, "My name is Bai Xizhu."

Leng Yebai, still asleep, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, this time not awakened by the nightmare.

This was the most restful sleep he had had in a while.

This time, there are no regrets.

When Leng Yebai woke up again, it was already dawn.

Leng Yebai rubbed his temples and looked up to see Bai Xizhu coming out of the community gate.

Leng Yebai was startled, quickly opened the car door, and strode towards Bai Xizhu.

"Hey, what's Uncle Leng doing here?"

Bai Xizhu looked at Leng Yebai walking over, slightly surprised.

"I... I was just passing by." Leng Yebai looked slightly uneasy. "Where are you going?"

"shop."

A glint of light appeared in Bai Xizhu's eyes.

She hadn't had a proper shopping trip in a long time, so she wanted to go on a good shopping spree.

"I'll take you there! It's on my way."

Leng Yebai felt slightly uncomfortable.

"...Alright!"

Bai Xizhu had no objections. She had known Leng Yebai for a long time and knew he was a good person, so she didn't think anything of it.

You have a parking ticket!

Bai Xizhu had only taken two steps when she spotted the parking ticket on Leng Yebai's car.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Leng Yebai's face. He strode over, put the ticket in his pocket, and then gentlemanly opened the car door.

He opened the passenger side door.

Bai Xizhu was slightly taken aback, but considering that he and she were 'old acquaintances', there was nothing wrong with sitting here.

So, Bai Xizhu sat in the passenger seat without any psychological burden.

Leng Yebai started the car and slowly drove towards the busiest street in the city.

Why are you the only one who came out?

Leng Yebai glanced at Bai Xizhu, who was playing on her phone.

“My parents have something to do, and my grandparents are at home reading… books. Bai Yifan is at home keeping my grandparents company,” Bai Xizhu said.

Grandpa and Grandma were at home reading novels about the apocalypse to brush up on their knowledge.

Bai Yifan has no money. People who have no money don't deserve to go shopping!

Bai Xizhu had been suppressed for too long in the apocalypse, so she wanted to go out and stroll around before the apocalypse began.

Experience the carefree and happy life of yesteryear.

The car fell silent again.

Leng Yebai gripped the steering wheel, his mind racing for a long time before he finally spoke slowly.

Have you ever been to a spotless, pristine room?

After Leng Yebai finished speaking, his whole body tensed up.

In the dream, they were trapped in a spotless white room and then experimented on by people whose faces were obscured.

It was clearly a dream, yet he truly experienced that excruciating pain.

Bai Xizhu paused for a moment, then immediately thought of that research institute.

Could it be that he was also reborn?

Do you know what will happen in three months?

Bai Xizhu asked tentatively.

Bai Xizhu did not maintain much vigilance towards Leng Yebai.

In his previous life, he had saved him twice.

Bai Xizhu even felt that he was someone she could trust besides her family.

"Three months later?"

Leng Yebai's cold eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Seeing Leng Yebai's puzzled expression, Bai Xizhu knew that he hadn't been reborn.

"It's nothing." Bai Xizhu smiled, then said seriously, "Don't go out on January 21st, stay at home."

"Why?"

Leng Yebai looked at Bai Xizhu with a puzzled expression.

"Because there are zombies that eat people, and someone might even capture you and slice you up!"

Bai Xizhu said something that was half-true and half-false.

Bang!

Without warning, the car suddenly went out of control and crashed into a garbage truck that was driving normally on the side.
