“This is different!” Feng Guang quickly shook his head in denial. “My brother is different from those zombies. Right when Youji fired his gun… he… he was holding some grass he had picked from the roadside. He wanted to give it to me…”

This sentence caused both Shu Bai and You Ji to pause for a moment in surprise.

The travelogue states, "At that time, I thought he was attacking you."

“No… he didn’t attack me.” Feng Guang clenched his fist and said slowly, “He knows me, he knows who I am.”

"And in Young Master Xia's mind at that time, what was Miss Xia's identity?" Shu Bai cruelly stated the fact, "She was the owner, right?"

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Shu Bai continued, "Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, there has never been a case of keeping zombies in captivity, so I cannot determine whether every zombie will develop this dependence on its owner. However, Miss Xia, you also need to understand that learning to please the owner who keeps you in captivity is also an instinct."

"You mean... my brother only gave me food because I was the one who fed him..."

"Perhaps my statement is unacceptable to Miss Xia, but it is indeed the most likely possibility." Shu Bai paused for a moment, then continued, "I know that as long as Young Master Xia shows even the slightest emotional sign, Miss Xia will feel that there is still hope, which is human nature. But often, reality is crueler than we hope, isn't it?"

“Even if what you said is true…” Feng Guang smiled lightly, “I don’t intend to give up. No matter what, even if my brother is just a lifeless corpse, I will not let him rest in peace.”

She said, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't speak or play with me in the days to come. Even if I'm just holding a corpse, I can't let go until I die."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Undoubtedly, these were words that were both shocking and difficult to evaluate.

Youji looked at Shu Bai, waiting for his reaction. He was also very curious about how Shu Bai would react.

After a long silence, Shu Bai chuckled softly, "The relationship between Miss Xia and Young Master Xia is truly enviable. With Miss Xia as his sister, Young Master Xia's life must have been very colorful. I also admire Miss Xia's... affection for her brother."

The meaning behind these last four characters is quite intriguing.

Feng Guang smiled easily, "He's my brother, so it's only natural that I want to protect him."

She laughed openly. Even if some people thought their sibling relationship was too much, she didn't care about their opinions. At least now, even when facing Shu Bai, she didn't think about winning him over at all.

Suddenly, a voice came from Fengguang's phone, "Miss Xia, the BOSS is waiting for you in your room."

Shu Bai looked up. "Is that the Guardian's voice?"

"Yes, I set Guardian's voice to my brother's. What do you think? Isn't my brother's voice nice?" She smiled brightly, just like a child eager for others' approval.

No... this is already a very strange state. At least no one would believe that she could get out of her grief so quickly.

Shu Bai smiled and nodded, "It sounds very nice."

Feng Guang then said with satisfaction, "I think so too. I'll go back now. My dad is still waiting for me. Professor Shu, let's talk again next time."
