Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent st...
Chapter 729 A Bad Premonition
After the wedding, Li's relatives left one after another, and Shen Yanming and his friends stayed to help clean up.
The bride changed into comfortable home clothes and sat back in the living room.
Bi Qiaoan quickly handed the gift box in his hand to the other party: "Congratulations, I wish you and Zhao Zhao a sweet life, support each other, and live happily ever after."
It’s not a particularly traditional blessing, but it fits the apocalyptic setting very well.
Xu Yajing took it and said with a smile, "Thank you!" She did not open it on the spot and took it back to the room.
When they went downstairs again, Bi Qiaoan found that her face was red. Bi Qiaoan guessed that she must have seen it, and maybe she was embarrassed because she saw the small umbrella.
Xu Yajing pretended to be calm, sat next to Bi Qiaoan and praised An An Nuannuan.
Bi Qiaoan did not expose her and talked to her a lot about children.
Xu Yajing hugged Nuannuan and said with envy: "I have wanted to have a baby for a long time. Now, I finally have the chance."
Bi Qiaoan's smile froze, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
Xu Yajing's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling. She suddenly grabbed Bi Qiaoan's arm and asked excitedly, "What's wrong? Why do you look like that? Is it a sign that he can't have children?"
Bi Qiaoan… “No, why do you think so?”
"Your expression tells me something is clearly wrong."
Bi Qiaoan was silent for a while before saying, "It's not about whether you can have a baby, but whether you are suitable for having a baby."
Xu Yajing didn't understand and stared at Bi Qiaoan waiting for her to explain.
"Wait a moment, let's talk about it together after everyone is done."
Xu Yajing felt that the joy of her wedding disappeared in an instant, and her whole body was cold.
"Okay, don't think too much about it. It really has nothing to do with your family." Bi Qiaoan simply revealed a little, "It's a problem of the overall environment."
Xu Yajing looked puzzled, but her mood improved a lot.
Not long after, Li's father and mother, as well as Li Zhaozhao, Shen Yanming, Ji Kangyong, and Zhang Heping all came over. Seeing this, Li Wanwan poured tea for everyone.
"Xiao Shen, what do you want to say to everyone? Why do you look so serious?" Father Li asked with a worried look on his face.
Shen Yanming sighed: “I’m sorry, uncle and aunt, what I’m going to say today may ruin the joyful atmosphere of the wedding.”
Mother Li felt a little uncomfortable, but she also knew that some things could not be delayed, so she said, "It's okay, Xiao Shen, just tell me. Auntie knows you are not the kind of person who speaks without purpose."
Shen Yanming nodded, took out his phone, and found the photos of the sea he had taken.
"Take a look at this set of photos first, and then we'll talk about what's next."
Li Zhaozhao took the phone with a puzzled look on his face, and his expression became more and more solemn the more he looked at it.
Upon seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Li hurried forward and accidentally saw the exposed continental shelf. They screamed, "Ah!"
"What's going on?" Mother Li was horrified.
Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong were also a little curious. After taking the phone, they understood why everyone's faces changed drastically.
Finally, it was Xu Yajing. After watching it, I finally understood why the Guards made so many adjustments.
"This is what we are saying. I went to the beach a few days ago and found that the sea level has dropped significantly, and it is still continuing to drop." Shen Yanming said.
"Xiao Shen, what do you want to say by showing these to us?" Father Li forced himself to remain calm and asked.
Shen Yanming took back his phone, "I just felt something was wrong, so I shared it with everyone. In case the next disaster is related to the sea, we can prepare in advance."
Father Li nodded, and Mother Li was a little unwilling, "Although our Hai City's name contains the word 'sea', it is so far from the sea, it should be fine, right?"
No one responded because no one knew.
"Also, why wasn't this reported on the news?"
Father Li took a deep breath and said, "The news should have been blocked. Maybe the higher-ups have no other options and are doing this to avoid unrest. Maybe they are trying to find a solution, but they haven't figured out how to deal with it yet."
Shen Yanming nodded, “It should be. The big guys in the Imperial Capital are working overtime every day. I think they will not give up the coastal residents.”
Xu Yajing also said: "Yes, this year, the guard team has adjusted its training direction and goals, and is also actively stockpiling supplies. I believe that as long as the alliance is given time, they will come up with a relatively safe plan."
After Xu Yajing knew that Li Zhaozhao did not have any physical defects, she calmed down and actively made suggestions: "What we need to do now is, first, to reserve supplies and try to seal them in waterproof bags. Second, we need to work hard to improve our abilities, including our martial arts and diving abilities.
Of course, the disaster may not necessarily spread to our place. I say this just to be prepared.”
"Yes, what my wife said is what I wanted to say. No wonder I always felt that the labor team was weird." Li Zhaozhao hugged Xu Yajing and flattered her.
Li Wanwan felt that her brother was simply too shameless to watch, so she said something from the heart: "Mom, you see, this world is so dangerous, I..."
"Don't even think about it. You have to go on a blind date! Otherwise, if a disaster happens, can you expect your father and I, who are old and weak, to take care of you?" Mother Li knew what she wanted to say as soon as she heard it and interrupted her without mercy.
Li Wanwan curled her lips and said, "I am so capable, I can definitely take care of myself."
"Then your father and I are old and need someone to take care of us. You must find a son-in-law for us."
Li Wanwan looked at her incredulously: "Mom, you are right anyway, right?"
"Of course you are. You are my daughter, you must listen to me!" For the sake of her daughter's lifelong event, Li's mother acted like a shrew who was unreasonable and meddling in other people's affairs.
"Mom!" Li Wanwan sat on the sofa angrily, feeling very helpless.
"Puchi, hahaha~" Zhang Heping watched a mother-daughter farce, which broke the stagnant atmosphere.
Mother Li looked in the direction of the voice and her eyes lit up. Thinking of her son's words and looking at her daughter, she felt that it was not impossible for the small group to resolve the issue internally.
Now, before the couple even started dating, the mother-in-law came to see her son-in-law. Li's mother was no longer worried. She asked Zhang Heping questions, leaving him completely confused and wanting to escape.
Others just watched the fun from the sidelines and did not step forward to help.
Upon seeing this, Father Li said to Shen Yanming: "Xiao Shen, thank you for the information you provided us. If we had known earlier, we could have prepared ahead of others and gained the upper hand."
"Uncle, I just told everyone what I saw. Please don't think I ruined the atmosphere. Besides, it's hard to say whether this disaster is related to the ocean or whether we will be affected."
"I know, but no matter what, it's better than being kept in the dark." Father Li's words were filled with resentment.
Shen Yanming thought that it would be better not to let people misunderstand the alliance, so he talked about his experience of passing by Dijing and meeting Qiu Man.
"It's not easy for them either. They work overtime every day and overdraw their bodies just to find a way out for Qinghua Country..."
