French Fries felt even worse than having its fur shaved off. When French Fries was brought back, it barked at them like a dog and headbutted each of them.
Although they couldn't understand it, they knew it was definitely swearing.
The howling woke up Huang's parents. Huang's father hugged the pitiful fries in his arms and said, "Yes, that's right. They are all bad people. Hit them. Grandpa will hit them for you."
Upon learning that the two boys had returned to accompany the girls to their next destination, Huang Ma immediately felt a greater sense of security.
Although the couple hadn't asked Huang Yiyi if she wanted to leave home, they felt there was a high probability she would.
These children have been wandering outside for several months, and their bond has grown much stronger than they imagined. Given how dangerous it is outside, they are always unwilling to abandon one of them and live a peaceful life at home.
Although Huang's parents were worried, they figured that with such a good friend by their side to fight alongside them, things wouldn't be too difficult.
During the meal, Mr. and Mrs. Huang smoothly inquired about their plans to travel to the next city.
Cheng Zhi replied seriously, "Yudu is quite far from here. We'll probably set off in a couple of days."
Huang Yiyi ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice in silence, then casually said that she wanted to go too, "I've always wanted to go to Yudu, and now I can finally go."
The girls were all very surprised that Huang Yiyi wanted to travel with them. Xiao Feiran frowned, put down her chopsticks, and said, "Don't be silly, this isn't a vacation."
Zheng Wan turned to her and said, "Do you think the same way as Cheng Zhi? Let me tell you, it's different. Cheng Zhi's family has Cheng Ye, but you're the only one in your family. If you leave, what will your aunt and uncle do?"
Huang Yiyi stopped eating, looked up at them, and said, "My parents were doing just fine a few months ago, weren't they? Besides, we have all the things we need at home, and Yangzhou isn't a dangerous place."
That's absolutely right. Of all the cities we've been to, Yangzhou is the most peaceful.
“Yes, your personal safety and material needs are not a problem, but you are out there, and your aunt and uncle are worried about you every day. What if something happens to you out there? What will your aunt and uncle do? What will we do?” Xiao Feiran pointed out the crux of the problem.
Cheng Zhi also joined in the persuasion, saying, "Yu is very far away, and it's really hard to say what will happen along the way. Our goal in coming back is for everyone to get home safely, so you should stay at home."
Everyone was trying to persuade him not to leave, and Mr. and Mrs. Huang looked very serious; it was unclear what they were thinking.
The conversation ended unpleasantly. After finishing her meal, Huang Yiyi went back to her room and hid under the covers, refusing to come out.
French Fries noticed Huang Yiyi's unhappiness and stayed by her bedside, occasionally licking her exposed hand.
Huang Yiyi would also touch the fries every now and then, and the two comforted each other.
Huang Yiyi is in a bad mood right now, so Cheng Zhi shouldn't go in and bother her. She should at least give her some time to process things.
Qi Yanche sat on the other sofa, looking at the closed door, "Is it really okay to leave her alone?"
Cheng Zhi nodded, "At times like this, you have to figure it out yourself. What you figure out yourself is more useful than a thousand words from others."
Cheng Zhi's words make a lot of sense; some things really do depend on oneself.
As the two were talking, Xiao Feiran brought over a glass of water and a bowl of grapes. "Eat this first, don't take your medicine yet. You'll feel sleepy if you eat this. Take your medicine before bed, okay?"
Cheng Zhi now wants to run away at the sight of grapes, refusing to take them at all, shaking her head like a rattle drum, "Sister, please let me go, I'm fine now!"
Cheng Zhi was just like a child who didn't want to take medicine. Xiao Feiran had been trying to coax her for the past few days and was now impatient. He put the things down and slapped her on the bottom. "I'm going to take a shower. I hope I can come back and see that these two things are empty, otherwise you're dead."
After saying that, she turned and left. In the middle, Xiao Feiran seemed to think of something and turned back to Qi Yanche and said, "By the way, Qi Yanche, you help supervise the work. If she dares not to eat or secretly throws it away, tell me immediately."
Qi Yanche was so serious it was frightening; after agreeing to Xiao Feiran's request, he kept staring intently at her.
Cheng Zhi: "..." That look is terrifying, like he's ready to kill me if I don't eat one grape.
Qi Yanche was staring at Cheng Zhi so intently not to supervise the work, but because he didn't know what was wrong with Cheng Zhi, so he kept observing her.
Finally, his gaze fell on Cheng Zhi's hands, which were still covered with red rashes. "So you're having an allergic reaction? Is it because of the rain outside?"
Cheng Zhi picked up the bowl of grapes but wasn't planning to eat them yet. Hearing Qi Yanche's voice, she remembered that there was someone sitting next to her. She immediately took the bowl of grapes to Qi Yanche to share, saying, "Eat a few for me and I'll tell you."
Qi Yanche wasn't falling for her trap. "Then I'll tell Xiao Feiran right now, and I can also ask her what's wrong with you. I don't need to ask you directly to know the answer."
"..."
This was simply the saddest thing in the world. Now, it seemed like everyone in the world was against her, except for herself. Unable to fool anyone, Cheng Zhi sheepishly withdrew her hand and emotionlessly stuffed grapes into her mouth one by one.
Looking at Cheng Zhi's chubby cheeks, Qi Yanche knew she was angry. He couldn't help but smile. "You're angry already? Okay, I'll eat two for you. Tell me how it goes. No more than that."
Upon hearing that Qi Yanche was willing to help her eat two pills, Cheng Zhi immediately changed her attitude, smiling as she picked out the two largest pills from the bowl and handed them to Qi Yanche, "That's right, I was allergic to the rainwater outside, so you must never touch the rainwater outside, it's really poisonous."
They had already guessed something was wrong when they saw the RVs and buildings outside starting to peel off. That's why they wore hoods when they went out, but they didn't expect that even touching their skin would cause such a strong irritation.
Although Cheng Zhi seemed perfectly fine, Qi Yanche couldn't help but worry, "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"
When the topic of hospitals came up, Cheng Zhi mentioned the time they had spent looking for a doctor in their apartment building a couple of days ago. “If doctors can’t save themselves, let’s save ourselves. Besides, I’ll be better soon.”
