Seeing Zhang Mei fall silent, Fang Xiyue smiled even more broadly.

But Zhao Tianming's face darkened, and he shoved Zhang Mei away.

"ah!"

Zhang Mei's physical strength had already reached its limit, and she collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Zhao Tianming, you are a real scumbag. Zhang Mei has sacrificed so much for you, and this is how you treat her."

You really don't deserve anyone's care or effort. Get the hell out of here!

Fang Xiyue pointed at Zhao Tianming and angrily rebuked him.

"Why should I leave? I want to enter this community."

"I'm a survivor too, why can't I go in?"

Zhao Tianming pointed at Fang Xiyue and retorted.

"Because our community doesn't let scumbags in."

Four soldiers walked up to Fang Xiyue and shielded her behind them.

"Oh dear, I really underestimated you, Fang Xiyue."

I originally thought you had hooked up with someone.

Unexpectedly, they took all four.

This apocalypse has truly been protecting you.

You don't actually dream of living a life where you can have as many men as you want, do you?!

You're such a fickle and shameless woman!

Zhao Tianming spewed out excrement and said all sorts of things.

"Bang!"

Zhou Dazhuang's fist slammed into Zhao Tianming's face.

Zhao Tianming, who already had an injured leg, was knocked to the ground.

"Say it! Say it again! Let's see if you'll still talk!"

Zhou Dazhuang sat on Zhao Tianming's lap and punched him repeatedly.

"How can you soldiers beat people up like this?"

He hit me yesterday, and you hit me today.

I'm going to report you to your superiors!

Zhao Tianming blocked with his arm while shouting incessantly.

"Go ahead and sue, Grandpa's waiting for you."

Don't tell me this is the end of the world, why bother following any of these ridiculous rules?

Even before the apocalypse, I'll still beat you up.

"You can't expect ivory from a dog's mouth! Bah!"

Zhou Dazhuang got off Zhao Tianming and spat at him fiercely.

[Congratulations, host, you have successfully proven your mistake and have been awarded one sign-in opportunity.]

"Alright, Brother Zhou, hitting him will only get your hands dirty. Let him fend for himself here."

Fang Xiyue stopped Zhou Dazhuang from kicking her again.

"Don't worry, Xiyue. As long as we're here, we'll never let that scumbag get close to you again."

Don't worry, from now on you're our little sister, and we'll protect you.

Zhou Dazhuang patted his chest and made a promise.

"Okay, Brother Dazhuang, I believe you."

For a moment, Fang Xiyue truly had the illusion that she had a biological older brother.

She is an only child and always wanted someone to protect her, but in the end, no matter what happened, she still had to bear it all by herself.

I've been protected by two military men these past two days; it's a feeling that's both unfamiliar and heartwarming.

Moreover, Zhou Dazhuang gave her a very strange feeling; she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to him, like the closeness she felt to family.

Chen Shuai, who had also helped him, did not feel the same way.

She remembered that Zhou Dazhuang was an orphan, so perhaps...

"Brother Dazhuang, are you saying that you are an orphan?"

"How about you become my parents' godparents? We can really be siblings! They'd definitely love you."

Fang Xiyue blurted it out on impulse, and then felt a little embarrassed.

Isn't what she's doing a bit strange? It seems like she's deliberately trying to curry favor with the military personnel managing Jingxiu Xingcheng.

My mother used to say she wanted both a son and a daughter, but after giving birth to her, she never got pregnant again.

Fang's mother is not sexist; she loves both boys and girls, she simply wants to have both.

I don't know why, but my grandparents only had one child, my father; my maternal grandparents only had one child, my mother; and my parents only had one child, her.

Perhaps their entire family has genes from only one child.

Bringing them back a grown grandson, I wonder if it will be a pleasant surprise or a shock to them?

She thought about it and still felt it wasn't quite right, so she was about to say she was joking when she heard...

"Xi Yue, are you serious?! I'll take it seriously."

I so desperately want to have a family; I dream about having one.

Zhou Dazhuang's eyes welled up with tears; he hadn't expected Fang Xiyue to suddenly say something like that.

Whether she was joking or not, it touched him deeply.

Seeing Zhou Dazhuang so moved, Fang Xiyue suddenly couldn't say she was joking.

“I’m not kidding. After you finish work, come find me in room 601, and I’ll personally introduce you to my family. From now on, you’ll be my brother, and I’ll be your sister.”

Fang Xiyue smiled like a little sun.

Zhou Dazhuang's assessment of her goodness or evil is 100%. She absolutely has no ill intentions towards him. Since the words have already been spoken, let nature take its course.

Most importantly, she truly felt the sense of security that only an older brother could provide from Zhou Dazhuang.

"Okay, sis, I'll come find you after I finish work at 8 p.m."

Zhou Dazhuang also smiled foolishly.

The two naturally addressed each other as "brother" and "sister," dropping their names altogether.

It sounds so natural, as if it had been called out for over a decade.

"I mean, have you two forgotten about the three of us?"

"Can't the three of us be Xiyue's brothers?"

Guo Sheng was joking.

"Brother? What brother? This is my sister."

You all have your own families, and you still want to steal my girl? No way!

From now on, you'll just be my sister's brother's comrades-in-arms.

Zhou Dazhuang put his arm around Fang Xiyue's shoulder, looking smug.
