"Yeah, I just brought it with me."
Bai Xizhu could sense the emotions in Fang Yuanyuan's tone, and her expression remained indifferent when she answered.
There was absolutely no surprise or unbridled conversation like when old classmates meet.
"This photo..."
Fang Yuanyuan's gaze suddenly fell on a photo in a corner of the bus.
In the photo, Bai Xizhu looks youthful with a faint smile on her face. She is wearing a typical junior high school uniform and appears to be living a peaceful and idyllic life.
Fang Yuanyuan wasn't concerned about Bai Xizhu's seductive face, but rather what was behind her.
A figure can be vaguely seen from behind her.
The figure didn't look as tall as I remembered; in fact, he seemed rather thin.
But Fang Yuanyuan recognized her at a glance.
This is Zhang Yiming.
Everyone else was walking around, but he stopped behind Bai Xizhu's figure. Directly in front of Zhang Yiming was the teaching building, and the glass of the teaching building reflected his and her shadows.
It looks like it was intentional.
It also seems like they are genuinely appreciating the scenery.
Fang Yuanyuan suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She knew they were junior high school classmates, but she never imagined that he had already...
"What?"
Bai Xizhu also looked back at the photo and saw herself in junior high school, as well as Zhang Yiming who had accidentally appeared in the picture behind her.
Bai Xizhu lowered her eyes slightly, her face showing no unusual expression.
"Isn't that our class monitor? So you were classmates in junior high."
Fang Yuanyuan looked unwell, her heart burning with jealousy.
In what way am I inferior to Bai Xizhu? Why does that ethereal boy only like her?
Fang Yuanyuan's fingers twisted tightly together, her body trembling with jealousy. She increasingly wanted to drag the "despicable" Bai Xizhu in front of Zhang Yiming.
She wanted Zhang Yiming to understand that even when everyone in the world was against him, she would always stand firmly by his side.
Even if it meant going against his own father and betraying the Human Survivors Alliance's plans, he was willing to do it.
In any case, her value is definitely higher than Bai Xizhu's.
"Is that our class monitor? If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. He doesn't seem like it, and I don't remember him."
Bai Xizhu replied calmly.
Bai Xizhu maintained a very cautious attitude towards Fang Yuanyuan.
Xiao Ming's whereabouts were accidentally exposed, and he disappeared from the entire city of Shanghai.
"You don't remember?"
Fang Yuanyuan spoke through gritted teeth.
How could someone who treated her so well, who spent the entire university years with her, just forget about her like that?
Fang Yuanyuan's anger surged, and she wished she could rush up and drag Bai Xizhu in front of that person to beat her up to vent her anger.
"New people always replace the old ones."
Leng Yebai suddenly added a comment.
Bai Xizhu: ...
"Xiao Zhu, I heard your boyfriend is the base commander's son. Could you ask him to make an exception? I want to find someone in the safe base."
Fang Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat when she saw Leng Yebai's doting gaze, and she quickly asked a tentative question.
It was a test to see how far Leng Yebai was willing to go for Bai Xizhu.
The worse Leng Yebai treats Bai Xizhu, the more at ease Fang Yuanyuan will feel.
“That won’t do. He doesn’t have that authority. We have to talk to the base commander.”
Bai Xizhu refused outright.
She was definitely trying to find out about Xiaoming, so Bai Xizhu naturally had to refuse.
Seeing Bai Xizhu's firm refusal, Fang Yuanyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It seems not so good!
They couldn't even help find people at the safe base; they deserve to be left with rice porridge!
"It's getting colder and colder. Xiao Zhu, would you like to come with me on a mission? This mission is simple; it's just to investigate the zombies. With Uncle Li with us, we'll definitely be safe. There are crystal cores as a reward for going out this time!"
Fang Yuanyuan pulled Bai Xizhu's arm and said in a seemingly intimate manner.
She was determined to bring the wretched Bai Xizhu to Zhang Yiming's presence.
He made Bai Xizhu his foil.
Just like in college, she was used as a foil to Bai Xizhu.
She was inconspicuous before, but now she shines brightly.
"Investigate zombies?"
Bai Xizhu awkwardly pulled her arm away, a hint of doubt in her eyes at Fang Yuanyuan's words.
"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no danger. I'm a third-tier ability user! We're just going to check out a place with a lot of zombies and see if there are any high-tier zombies!"
Fang Yuanyuan spoke with great firmness.
She certainly wouldn't secretly sabotage Bai Xizhu's plans.
She has a great use for keeping the white ramie fabric; it's so easy for it to improve the image of a female classmate whose life is so miserable.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
Why would you go to a place with lots of zombies?
Bai Xizhu's gaze towards Fang Yuanyuan still held a hint of doubt.
They already understood that they were preparing to go find Xiaoming.
"We're just scouting the terrain, not targeting any zombies."
Fang Yuanyuan did not say it explicitly.
She couldn't tell Bai Xizhu Xiaoming's secret. Even if Bai Xizhu might hear about Xiaoming being the Zombie King through other channels, she wouldn't reveal her father's plan.
She could only tell Xiaoming about this plan herself.
She wanted to be a ray of light in his dark life.
"Isn't this too dangerous?"
Bai Xizhu didn't agree immediately; her expression showed some hesitation.
