Chapter 667 I Understand

I grabbed Wu Shuang's arm as I approached from behind, but before I could say anything, Wu Shuang shook off my hand, turned around and glared at me angrily, saying, "Lu Xiaonan! Let me tell you, don't cause trouble here. Longhu is my territory, and it's not for you to interfere with. If you can't stand me bullying those people, you can take them away."

I ignored her words and asked, "Wu Shuang, what's wrong with you? You've been acting strange since last night."

Wu Shuang glared, "Something's not right with me? You have the nerve to say something's not right with me!"

After leaving me with those words, Wu Shuang turned and left.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on. She was speaking so sincerely last night, so why is she acting like she's on steroids today?

Hu Fei walked over from a short distance away, patted my shoulder and said, "Hey, don't take it to heart. Women can be unreasonable sometimes. She's angry right now. I think you need to go and comfort her, and it would be best if you apologized or something. Otherwise, I think you two are really going to be in trouble."

I frowned, completely bewildered, and asked, "Why?"

Hu Fei smiled wryly, "You really are a straight man. Have you ever been in a relationship before?"

"No." I really haven't been in a relationship. I spent most of my high school and college years studying, so I didn't have time to date.

"..." Hu Fei was speechless. "I give up. Let me tell you, if a woman is angry, you can't ignore her. If you ignore her and let her recover on her own, she'll give up on you. If you still want to win Wu Shuang back, you'd better go and talk to her now, comfort her. Don't be afraid of losing face. When it comes to feelings, there's no such thing as losing face. But if you really want to break up, then don't go."

I fell silent for a moment.

Hu Fei said, "I'll handle Jiang Xiaoxiao's situation. I've gotten to know the people at Longhu pretty well over the past few days, so I'll have them find another place for her. You don't need to worry."

"Alright, then it's up to you."

I turned around and chased after Wu Shuang. Wu Shuang walked very fast, but I ran after her and caught up with her in no time.

I didn't stop her from going back. I saw that she was eating a steamed bun in her hand as she went back. I didn't want her to choke halfway through her meal, so I just followed behind her. Before long, we were back in the office.

As soon as I followed her into the room, I quickly closed the office door.

I don't know what to say, and I don't know if what Hu Fei said before was right or wrong. I can only take it one step at a time.

"What are you doing in here? Get out!" Wu Shuang yelled at me.

I said, "Wu Shuang, I know it was my fault regarding Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others. I brought them here without telling you beforehand. I know it was very sudden. If, I mean... if you really don't want them to stay here any longer, I will set off today and take them back to Jiajiang."

When Wu Shuang heard that I was going back to Jiajiang, she immediately glared at me and said, "You're going back to Jiajiang? You're planning to give up everything and go back to Jiajiang?"

I immediately understood what she meant and said, "No, that's not what I meant. After I return to Jiajiang and settle them in, I will come back to find you. Of course, if you don't want me to leave, I can have Hu Fei take them back."

Wu Shuang stared at me, her eyes practically spitting fire. "Lu Xiaonan! If you want to leave, just say so. You don't need to beat around the bush like this. I know what I said last night was very offensive. If you don't like what I said, then don't listen to it. Get out!"

I didn't panic. In this situation, the more panicked I became, the less I could explain myself. I said, "Wu Shuang, that's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean!"

I said, "I want to be with you forever."

Wu Shuang was stunned by my sudden confession. She glanced at me, but I couldn't see her eyes anymore.

I continued, “I know that what I’ve done these past few days may have offended you, or it may be because of my inaction or my unchanging personality. But Wu Shuang, I really don’t want to leave you. I didn’t know you were still alive before, so I could only keep this feeling to myself. But after I found out you were still alive, I knew I had to find you and bring you back. No matter how difficult it is, I will be with you.”

“Although I don’t understand why you got so angry with me, I really never thought about leaving you. I know you can’t let go of Longhu, so I don’t necessarily have to take you back to Jiajiang. I can stay here too.”

Wu Shuang had already turned around.

I continued, "In my opinion, if Longfor continues to develop, it will eventually unify the entire city of Hangzhou. When Hangzhou stabilizes, it will naturally expand outwards. Jiajiang is not far from Hangzhou, and with me in the middle, Hangzhou and Jiajiang can even cooperate. Our future will be bright."

I'm not good at sweet talk or making others happy; I can only express what's in my heart.

Everything I've said is basically true.

It has been a year since the zombie outbreak. From the initial confusion and helplessness to the current adaptation to life, no matter how dangerous the environment is, humans can always adapt to and control everything around them.

Zombies are not scary to people nowadays, because as long as there are enough people, they can wipe them out.

With just over 300 people in the entire city of Hangzhou, expansion would be very easy.

Furthermore, Jiajiang and the central town are gradually expanding, and sooner or later, all the places will definitely be connected and become one territory again.

Although some conflicts and battles may occur along the way, this will not hinder the process of integration.

This is just the beginning; the real zombie world has only just begun.

I don't know what the future world will be like, all I can do is use all my rights to protect the people I love.

I took two steps closer to Wu Shuang, put my arms around her, and said, "Let me help you. I won't go back to Jiajiang for the time being. I will stay here and help you unify the entire Hangzhou."

Wu Shuang was already sobbing uncontrollably.

I know why she cried, because this time I stood by her side.

I suddenly realized that what Wu Shuang needed was not forever or a future, but simply someone to support her silently and accompany her through life. It didn't have to be anything dramatic; she just needed someone to stand by her side.

Throughout the year, from the time she founded Longhu, she was always alone, until Chu Fei seized power and Li Sanyang betrayed her; she was still all alone.

My appearance gave her hope, but I didn't understand it at first. Now that I do, it's not too late.
