Chapter 142 He Can Cry
The discussion about the defense system came to a temporary halt, and the room fell silent for a moment.
Yu Xiang turned slightly to the side, casting her gaze at Bronson. "Butler, where's Yueyue? Where is she right now?"
She suddenly realized that Yueyue hadn't appeared at all, even though she'd been back for so long.
Bronson bowed slightly. "Miss Qiao Yue went back to her room to sleep. I'm not sure if she's awake yet."
Yuxiang frowned slightly, a hint of concern on her face, and then asked, "She's already asleep at this hour? Has she had dinner? I hope she doesn't go hungry."
Bronson quickly said, "We haven't eaten yet. Miss Qiao Yue specifically told me before going to bed that she should cook after she wakes up, saying that she doesn't want the food to go bad if it's left out for too long."
Yuxiang thought for a moment, "You can cook now, and I'll go wake her up for dinner when it's ready."
Bronson replied, "Yes."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.
Upon seeing this, Bai Chi's eyes lit up, and he immediately called out to Bronson, "Bronson, bring the Corpse Fruit Tea over here!"
Bronson stopped and looked back at Yuka, seemingly waiting for her instructions.
Yu Xiang then slapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Oh dear, I almost forgot to treat you to drinks. Butler, bring three cups over."
Bronson replied again, "Yes."
After saying that, he walked toward the kitchen where the drinks were kept.
After Bai Chi finished a pot of it, Bronson quickly made another large pot to keep on hand.
Upon hearing Bai Chi mention Corpse Fruit Tea, Du Rong asked curiously, "Corpse Fruit Tea? Is that the fruit tea made from the magical fruit that the idiot mentioned before, the one for feeding zombies? Lots of zombies in the base are talking about this fruit. I'm so lucky to have tasted it myself today, it's amazing!"
Yu Xiang nodded. "Yes, this tea is made from Corpse Fruit. It tastes very good. You should try it later. It definitely won't disappoint the Corpse Fruit."
When Bronson brought out the Corpse Fruit Tea, Du Rong couldn't wait to take a sip. Her reaction was similar to Bai Chi's back then, her face full of surprise. Then she shamelessly said, "Boss, this tea is so delicious, can I have another cup?"
Yu Xiang smiled and asked Bronson to pour Du Rong another cup.
As for Bai Chi, who was complaining about the unfairness and saying he hadn't had enough to drink, she wasn't going to give him any more.
Bai Chi drank quite a lot today.
By the time Bronson had finished preparing dinner, Du Rong and Bai Chi had already left.
Yu Xiang gently stretched her neck, then went upstairs to Qiao Yue's room.
She raised her hand and gently knocked on the door, her voice soft, "Yueyue, get up and eat! If you keep sleeping, you won't be able to sleep tonight."
After a while, some movement came from inside the door, followed by a series of dragging footsteps approaching the door.
A moment later, the door creaked open.
Qiao Yue, wearing loose pajamas and with her hair all messy like a bird's nest, looked at You Xiang with sleepy eyes and mumbled, "You're back. You were out for quite a while today. I was so bored at home all by myself."
Yuxiang smiled and walked forward, taking Qiao Yue's hand as they walked downstairs. She said, "As the boss, I can't just do nothing. I have to go out and take care of some things. By the way, Yueyue, what have you been doing at home all day? You weren't just sleeping, were you?"
Qiao Yue yawned and stretched lazily. "What can I do? Just eat, drink, play, and sleep. There's no other entertainment in this apocalypse."
After going downstairs, Qiao Yue went straight to the dining table, picked up her water glass, gulped down a few mouthfuls of water to moisten her dry throat, and then began to eat heartily.
Yu Xiang sat quietly to the side, watching Qiao Yue eat for a while, when she suddenly realized that Mimi, who usually liked to rub against her feet, was not there.
She asked, "Where's Mimi? Where did that little one go?"
With her mouth full of food, Qiao Yue raised her head and mumbled, "I don't know, I didn't notice where it went."
Bronson, who was standing nearby, thought for a moment and said, "I didn't see it either. Could it have gone out to play?"
Yu Xiang was a little worried, so she got up, walked to the center of the room, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Mimi, dinner's ready! If you don't come out soon, all the good food will be eaten!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mimi rush down from upstairs. Perhaps because she was in too much of a hurry, she lost her footing and tumbled down the stairs with a "thump," only stopping at Youxiang's feet.
Yu Xiang looked at Mimi, who had bumped into her feet, lying on her back with a bewildered expression. She was both annoyed and amused. She reached out and gently picked Mimi up, teasing her, "You really ran fast when you heard it was time to eat! Didn't you watch where you were going? You must have hurt yourself."
"Meow!"
Mimi let out a weak cry.
You have to run fast when it's time to eat! Otherwise, all the good food will be snatched up!
Yu Xiang put Mimi on the ground, then with a thought, took out two mutated dead mice from the game warehouse and threw them into the cat bowl.
Mimi sat on the edge of the cat bowl, and when she saw the food inside, she was startled at first, then turned her head to look at Yuzuka in confusion, "Meow?"
Shouldn't we be eating Meow Meow Fruit?
Yu Xiang looked at Mimi, arms crossed, "You haven't eaten these mice in a long time. You were the one who begged for these mutant mice in the first place. You can't just stop eating them now. A picky cat isn't a good cat."
Her game inventory is full of dead mutated rats, which are only good for Mimi to eat, and are a waste of her game inventory space.
"Meow!"
Mimi meowed, tilted her head and thought for a moment, seemingly recalling the scene when she wanted to mutate into a mouse, and finally gave in.
Fine, I'll eat it then.
Yu Xiang watched as Mimi began to eat with her head down, reached out and gently stroked its head, praising, "You were such a good girl this time!"
After dinner, Youxiang and Qiaoyue sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted for a while about all sorts of things.
When they got into a good chat, the two even played some games together, their laughter echoing in the room.
Before they knew it, it was quite late, so the two went back to their rooms to rest.
After returning to her room, Yuxiang walked to the French windows and quietly gazed at the full moon outside.
The moon is exceptionally bright tonight, casting a cool, clear light that envelops the entire world in tranquility.
She gazed at the full moon, her eyes suddenly filled with sorrow, and murmured to herself, "Zhuozhuo, I miss you so much!"
As she finished speaking, a crystal tear slowly fell from the corner of Yu Xiang's eye and slid down her cheek.
Yu Xiang was stunned, her hand unconsciously touching the corner of her slightly moist eyes, her heart filled with surprise.
She actually cried!
