Chapter 27 What is she waiting for?
Tian Yao's heart sank when she heard Duan Lei's question. She raised her hand and slapped Duan Lei on the head: "Didn't you say you have a high IQ?"
"Don't you know everything? How could you not know what sanitary napkins are?"
"Playing dumb again!?"
Duan Lei covered his head and said aggrievedly: "I saw that you were in a bad mood, so I wanted to tease you!"
Hearing this, Tian Yao rolled her eyes: "You can't solve my problem!"
"Sister Tian Yao, have you forgotten that I told you I would help you?" Duan Lei raised his chin, his expression showing a certainty that he was confident in everything. "Because—you and I have the same goal."
Isn't this kid too smart? Tian Yao raised her hand to pat Duan Lei on the head again, but she pulled it back and subconsciously denied it: "I don't have any purpose."
After she finished speaking, she saw a look of doubt in the little boy's eyes.
It seems that he was not fooled! Tian Yao fell silent!
"You told me not to lie to you, so you shouldn't lie to me either. You can't fool me. Every time someone tries to deceive me, I feel like my intelligence is insulted." Duan Lei kicked the ground with a dejected look on his face. "No! It's me who's always been treated like a child by you. You've trampled on my intelligence and rubbed it on the ground. I feel hurt!"
Tian Yao looked up at the sky speechlessly: "Okay, okay, I'll treat you to a Frappuccino to make up for your broken heart. Is that okay?"
"You still treat me like a child," Duan Lei held his forehead with his hand. He shook his head and said, "Sister Tian Yao, I'm only two years younger than you. I'm not a child!"
"If it were in ancient times..." At my age, I would be a father.
He spoke the remaining few words vaguely.
Tian Yao didn't hear clearly: "What did you say? What would happen if it were in ancient times?"
"I didn't say anything," Duan Lei quickly denied. He let go of Tian Yao's sleeve and said, "Let's drink Frappuccino!"
"No, come with me to buy groceries." Tian Yao took out a folded shopping bag from her pocket and stuffed it into Duan Lei's hand. "You will be the coolie today and carry things for me."
They said Duan Lei was going to work as a laborer, so Tian Yao only bought a lotus root, a few potatoes, and a piece of chicken breast: "I'm done!"
"Potatoes again, Sister Tian Yao, can you fry anything else?" Duan Lei was overwhelmed at the sight of potatoes: "I don't see you like potatoes that much."
"I'm not picky about food," Tian Yao said, "so—just bear with it!"
"You're so easy to raise!" Duan Lei muttered softly, "I wish I could have a wife like you and have potatoes every day..."
Tian Yao's face was filled with black lines, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She wanted to beat Duan Lei to death: "Little brat, do you deserve a beating?"
"Huh?" Duan Lei grinned, revealing what he considered to be the most innocent and adorable smile: "Sister Tian Yao, what's wrong with me?"
"What?" Tian Yao turned around and continued walking towards home, simply ignoring Duan Lei. She found that she couldn't argue with him.
Seeing Tian Yao was silent, Duan Lei's expression gradually became serious: "Sister Tian Yao, don't you have any plans? Do you want to go through this again?"
Tian Yao's heart trembled slightly. If she followed her plan, she would want everyone around her to know Duan Xue's true face beneath the angelic appearance, and then send the scumbag men and women to their deaths at the end of the world. "Nonsense, of course I don't want that."
"If you don't want to, then what are you doing? Or what are you waiting for?" Duan Lei questioned Tian Yao, his voice becoming stronger and stronger. "Don't you want to? You're not striving for success, you're not working hard, you're just being childish!"
"Sister Tian Yao, can you please wake up a little?"
What am I waiting for? Tian Yao asked herself in her heart, she was just waiting for the arrival of the end of the world, is that wrong? Only in the end of the world can she show her hands and feet——
"If you do nothing now, it means you are going back to the old ways and waiting for death," Duan Lei said with a serious face that still had a childish look, and a maturity that was totally inconsistent with his age.
That's right! If she only relied on the memories of her past life and did nothing, what would be the difference between her and her past life? But now she had to admit that Duan Lei was right: "How can you know so much at such a young age?"
"Sister Tian Yao, you actually understand," Duan Lei regained his appearance as a sixteen-year-old boy. "It's just that you—ah, maybe it's best for you to be this way!"
"You're clearly saying I'm stupid, so why should I thank you?" Tian Yao turned and glared at Duan Lei. This kid always mocked her whenever he had the chance. But she couldn't find a rebuttal. She was stupid, stupid. If she wasn't stupid, how could she have been fooled by Duan Xue and Yang Wen in her previous life?
"I'm saying that you can definitely start exercising now and strengthen your physique," Duan Lei pointed to a Taekwondo gym not far away. "If you've already become a strong person before the apocalypse begins, then what are you afraid of?"
"At least, I mean at the very least, you have to be able to fight against those monsters you mentioned!"
Tian Yao had to admit that she was persuaded by this little brat Duan Lei: "Okay, I get it!"
Duan Lei reached out and gently tugged at Tian Yao's sleeve: "Just knowing isn't enough. You have to take action. As far as I know, although you were reborn, you didn't bring back the same superpowers as me. So, you must train yourself to be stronger!" After saying that, he pushed Tian Yao's back without hesitation: "I'll go in with you. Their gym is having a discount for enrollment recently!"
"If you learn it, you can teach me, and it will save one person's tuition!"
Tian Yao had no room for rebuttal to this. Duan Lei took her to the registration office of the Taekwondo gym and she signed up.
"Okay, come and study for an hour every night. I think that should be enough," Duan Lei said with satisfaction. "The rest is up to Sister Tian Yao to study hard and practice."
"You're totally forcing me to do this," Tian Yao said after returning home, putting the vegetables on the floor and slumping on the sofa. "Why don't you learn it yourself and then teach me?"
Duan Lei was stunned by the question. Then he said embarrassedly, "Oh, yeah, I forgot. If I go and learn, the effect might be better. Forget it, I'll just sign up!"
"Well, how about this, you go learn Taekwondo, and I'll learn something to complement you!"
Why did this sound so strange? Tian Yao couldn't find any fault with Duan Lei's words. Duan Lei was right. She didn't have any special abilities at the moment, so strengthening her body was indeed necessary. "Since you guessed what I'm going to do, I hope you won't become an obstacle for me!"
"No," Duan Lei's face was cold. When he mentioned Duan Xue, his face was completely emotionless, only cold: "I completely understand your experience! So, don't worry that I will hold you back, I will only be your helper!"
He would rather not have a sister who has always wanted to kill him since she was a child.
When he was extremely weak, he was suffocated to death by his own sister with a pillow. I guess there is no other brother in the world who is more miserable than him.
Of course, there is also Tian Yao who also suffered from Duan Xue's vicious hands. Tian Yao is such a kind person, how could Duan Xue have the heart to push her into the zombie's mouth?
