Chapter 2 A TV interview

Tian Decheng and Song Xiaomei looked at each other. Before, Tian Yao had to apply to Fujing University, so why did she change her mind today?

"Yaoyao, Daddy doesn't mean to interfere with your decision, but Mommy and Daddy are very curious. Why did you think of applying to a local university?" Tian Decheng asked Tian Yao tactfully. He knew that adolescent children have the strongest rebellious psychology.

"Fujing University is very good, but Shicheng University is actually not bad either. It's just that we are locals and look down on local universities," Tian Yao said lightly.

In half a year, the apocalypse will happen and people all over the world will not have to go to school or work!

It doesn’t matter which school you apply to, but the biggest difference for Tian Yao is that she can spend half a year of wonderful time with her parents.

"Besides, after thinking about it, I'd better not go too far away from home, so that Mom and Dad will not secretly make delicious food," Tian Yao deliberately put on the look of a greedy cat and licked her lips!

"I knew you were a little greedy cat," Song Xiaomei tapped her daughter's nose with her finger. "Today, your mother has shown some mercy and allowed you to watch some TV before dinner!"

"Yes, mother!" After entering the third year of high school, Tian Yao's family never turned on the TV again. Tian Decheng and Song Xiaomei were afraid of disturbing her studies. Tian Yao has always been aware of her parents' painstaking efforts.

The kitchen became busy, and the couple cooked while chatting.

Tian Yao, who stayed in the living room, turned on the TV!

"Being able to watch TV before the college entrance examination is such a luxury!" Especially with the end of the world coming soon, there will be no TV to watch at all.

As Tian Yao was thinking this, a familiar voice made her unable to look away.

"...I didn't have time to think at the time, I just rushed over!"

"If my sister hadn't saved me, I would have died!"

The figure surrounded by the camera on the screen was Duan Xue, who had separated from her not long ago.

Countless halos fell on Duan Xue, Jinqi, awards, flowers, her arms were full.

"Duan Xue from Shicheng Middle School was awarded the title of "Five Good Youth" by the Municipal Party Committee for his bravery in doing good deeds!"

"...I hope everyone will actively learn from Duan Xue..."

The words "car accident, child" quickly reminded Tian Yao of an incident. She and Duan Xue were shopping that day, wearing the same dress. On their way home, they saw a little boy standing in the middle of the street, frightened by the oncoming traffic and crying loudly. A car was heading straight towards the boy, and she and Duan Xue saw the scene together. Duan Xue immediately covered her eyes and said, "Oh my God, I can't bear to look!"

It was Tian Yao who rushed over and picked up the little boy!

At this time, the little boy was holding Duan Xue and calling her sister affectionately!

This scene stung Tian Yao's eyes! Duan Xue's tearful face appeared in her eyes. She said, "Yaoyao, she didn't mean it."

Didn't mean it!

How ironic!

Just like what Tian Yao saw now, it was she who saved the little boy, but it was Duan Xue who was on the podium accepting the thanks from the boy's family and praise from all sides. If she had not turned on the TV by chance, she would not have known all this.

Yes, Tian Yao’s own memory was also a little confused. A lot of things happened, too many, too trivial, so many that she couldn’t remember them all.

I don’t know when it started, but Duan Xue was surrounded by all kinds of halos, becoming more and more dazzling. She became the foil next to this dazzling star, but she herself was completely unaware of it.

When competing for outstanding students, she is always the one who loses!

Although they had the same scores, she had a shameful record of cheating. It was said that someone had reported her anonymously.

In the end times, Duan Xiu is always the one who is protected and cared for, while she is the one who runs errands and does odd jobs and ends up dying.

It seems that Duan Xue is the heroine in a certain novel, with all the halo of the protagonist. But she is the tragic female supporting role who gets killed as soon as she appears on the screen.

It seemed that some memories began to become clearer, and some things gradually took shape. She seemed to have always underestimated her sweet-looking "best friend". Perhaps, she might have never really known Duan Xue.

"It's time to eat, you little greedy cat," Tian Decheng called out as he walked out of the kitchen.

The TV was showing the mayor's speech on environmental protection. Song Xiaomei and Tian Decheng, who had just walked out of the kitchen, did not see the interview with Duan Xue.

Tian Yao picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, forcing herself to control her emotions: "There's nothing good to watch on TV!" She walked to the table to help set the dishes, but she couldn't calm down her emotions. She always wanted to ask Duan Xue why he treated her like this?

"Don't you even check the time?" Song Xiaomei said, "It's news time now. Almost all the channels are broadcasting news. It would be strange if there was anything interesting. Let's eat!"

"Yes, yes, eat," Tian Decheng kept picking up food for his daughter, piling it up into her bowl. "Come on, eat more."

"Dad, I'm not a pig. Are you planning to give me the whole pot?!" Tian Yao quickly protected the bowl and stopped Tian Decheng from giving her any more food.

Tian Decheng chuckled and put the food on his chopsticks into his wife's bowl: "You've worked hard preparing for the college entrance examination and have lost weight."

Mom Song Xiaomei was also smiling.

Such a warm family was to be reduced to ashes in the end of the world. Tian Yao felt a pain in her heart and completely forgot about Duan Xue. Neither Duan Xue nor the end of the world were as important as her father and mother.

"I'm a student anyway. The exam is just a test of my learning. It's not hard at all." Tian Yao picked up some food for Tian Decheng and Song Xiaomei. "Mom and Dad, you guys eat too."

It seemed like this was the first time she had picked up food for her parents. Sure enough, Duan Xue noticed her mother's smile was even brighter, and her heart ached again! She buried her head in the food, not daring to look at her father's smiling face.

"My daughter has grown up," Tian Decheng said with relief. He handed his daughter the dish he was given and looked at it for a long time before putting it into his mouth. "When you graduate from college, Mom and Dad can almost breathe a sigh of relief."

I'm afraid that my parents will never see the day I graduate from college, because half a year later, the apocalypse will break out, zombies will be everywhere, and the world will fall into chaos, with no normal order anymore.

Not to mention going to school, even having enough to eat is a problem.

"Dad, you're talking as if you guys won't care about me anymore just because I graduated from college," Tian Yao said, forcing a smile. "I want to eat the food you cook every day!"

"Wherever I go, I'll take you with me!"

She said in her heart that if possible, she would never let her father and mother turn into zombies this time!

But can she really get what she wants?

After the outbreak of the apocalypse, everyone will have a fever. This is not something that can be controlled by humans. The consequences after the fever are even more unpredictable. Among every ten people, if one or two can survive, they are lucky!

How many empty cities had she seen filled with zombies?

She couldn't explain it herself.
