On the brink of the apocalypse, Zuo Ling is brought back to her distant relatives' Ding family and safely survives countless disasters through the chaos.
However, on the verge of death, s...
Liu Guojun bowed and scraped:
"We're new here and don't know many of the rules. We'd like to ask you how accommodation is usually arranged here."
The registrar looked the group up and down; they were dressed fairly well and didn't seem to be short of money.
"They will be allocated uniformly, one room per family, about 10 to 15 square meters. The rent is 3 to 5 contribution points. You can pay the rent in arrears for the first two months. From the third month onwards, those who cannot pay the rent will be kicked out of the base."
She paused for a moment and then said:
"We can use supplies to cover the rent, including food, clothing, and other necessities."
"Order 3..."
Liu Bao'er glanced at him, and Liu Guojun immediately changed his mind, "Book...book two rooms."
The registrar checked which rooms were left and said, "The 10-square-meter rooms are all gone; the rest are all 15-square-meter rooms."
"Okay, okay, please help us choose two rooms next to each other."
"Each room requires 5 contribution points. If you can't pay the rent by the due date, you really will be evicted."
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand."
Liu Guojun chose two rooms on the sixth floor, one of which was on the side.
The registrar kindly suggested, "It's inconvenient to stay on the 6th floor with a child. You might as well choose a lower floor."
"Convenient, convenient, we can have some peace and quiet."
"Fine, whatever you say."
The check-in process was completed quickly.
The registrar liked children very much. As the group entered, she casually touched the child's little face and said, "So handsome, such a rare sight."
She was completely focused on the child and didn't notice the change in the expressions of Liu Guojun and the others.
Liu Bao'er froze for a moment, then smiled sweetly at the registrar, stretched out her little arms, and asked for a hug.
He called out, "Mother... Mother, hug me, hug me..."
The registrar's heart melted. She picked up Liu Bao'er and gave her a big kiss, saying, "Good girl, let your empress hold you."
After coaxing her for a while, he pulled out a piece of hard candy that he had kept in his pocket for generations and stuffed it into Liu Bao'er's mouth: "Eat, candy, it's sweet and delicious."
Liu Guojun and the others froze, their eyes filled with shock and fear as they looked at Liu Bao'er.
Liu Bao'er hugged the registrar's neck, laughing happily: "Sweet, sweet, Your Majesty is delicious."
The registrar flicked his nose:
"You little rascal, you even know what sweetness is. How could a candy not be sweet? I've had it in my pocket for ages, but I couldn't bear to eat it. You're lucky to have it."
Liu Bao'er giggled with delight.
Liu Guojun stared in horror at Liu Bao'er's little hands clinging to the registrar's neck, his mind flashing back to the image of the little hands twisting the neck, so frightened he could barely move.
Suppressing her unease, she feigned reproach and said, "Bao'er, come down quickly, don't delay Your Majesty's work."
Liu Bao'er's face fell, and her little mouth pouted high.
The little figure's expressive face made the registrar burst into laughter: "Oh dear, the little guy is unhappy."
Before leaving, Liu Bao'er kept waving to the registrar, saying, "Bye-bye, Your Highness, candy."
"Okay, okay, Your Majesty will bring Bao'er candy again next time."
The registrar was overwhelmed with maternal love after finally encountering such a clever and witty little one.
She didn't see it. Liu Bao'er turned her head away and rubbed her face hard with her small hands several times. Her face was terribly gloomy.
Liu Guojun didn't dare to utter a sound.
Hmph! Liu Bao'er spat out the half-melted candy and stuffed it into Liu Guolin's mouth.
The candy was stuffed into his throat so suddenly that Liu Guolin was caught completely off guard. His trachea was blocked, and he turned red in the face and neck.
Liu Bao'er's face darkened as she cursed, "If you can't swallow it, then choke to death."
Liu Guolin was startled, and miraculously, he swallowed the candy.
"Hey, you guys are new here, right? I've never seen you before."
Someone came up to greet him, but their eyes kept lingering on Liu Bao.
There are no children as young as Liu Bao'er at the base, and Liu Bao'er is even more adorable with her fair skin and rosy lips.
Soon, a large group of people gathered around, all of them looking after the child.
Liu Bao'er was like a mascot, passing from one person's hand to another, giving each person a kiss.
In no time, Liu Bao'er's face looked as if it had been washed, which made Liu Guojun and the others shudder.
