Chapter 198: Waterfront

Chu Peipei frowned.

Considering how much that woman cherishes her child, it is impossible for her to leave her here alone for so many days.

The acid rain was so heavy, the woman probably died on the road...

She looked at the little girl with some pity: "Do you have any other relatives at home?"

The little girl pointed at Chu Peipei and said, "Yes, Mommy."

Chu Peipei felt helpless. She thought that this girl must have underdeveloped brain, which was why she kept calling strangers "Mom".

And looking at her face, it seems a little strange...

Although she doesn't look like a child with Down syndrome, I always feel that she looks indescribably weird.

Beautiful, but strange.

Chu Peipei didn't think much about it and asked again: "I mean, do you have other relatives besides your mother?"

The little girl shook her head: "I only have my mother."

Chu Peipei: "Where's your dad?"

Little girl: "Daddy is dead."

Chu Peipei: "How did he die?"

The little girl didn't say anything and started crying again.

Chu Peipei looked a little sad. There were so many strange ways to die in the apocalypse, it was rare to be alive.

So I didn't ask her about her father anymore, but asked, "Where are your grandparents?"

The little girl was still sobbing, "I only have my mother!"

As he said that, he threw himself into Chu Peipei's arms.

Chu Peipei felt that there was almost no flesh on her body, only skin and bones, and felt a little distressed:

"Little cutie, how old are you?"

The little girl thought for a while: "Nine years old."

Chu Peipei sighed when she heard this. When the natural disaster struck, the child should have just started primary school.

Nowadays, let alone getting an education, I can’t even have a full meal.

She looked down at the child who was held tightly in her arms.

What can I do?

Chu Peipei asked her, "How have you been spending these days by yourself?"

The little girl's tears were still wet. She said pitifully, "I hid under the bed."

Chu Peipei was surprised: "Why are you hiding under the bed?"

The little girl sobbed and said, "Those weird uncles are so scary. I'm scared..."

Chu Peipei understood that the child was probably talking about those people who were taking shelter from the rain in the building.

She patted the little girl on the back soothingly.

It is really dangerous for such a young child, especially a girl, to be alone outside.

It's not just a problem of lack of food and water, but there are too many perverts in this world.

Even little girls who are protected by their parents in peaceful times may still be coveted and harmed by some adult men.

Not to mention now.

The little girl seemed tired of crying, and gently tugged at Chu Peipei with her hand: "Mom, Xiaoguai feels so bad, Xiaoguai wants to go home."

Chu Peipei felt so soft-hearted when she heard her calling her mother over and over again.

After hesitating for a moment, he took the child home.

After all, children can’t eat much, and she doesn’t need an extra mouth.

She has no relatives in this world. This child is like a smaller version of her.

And she kept calling her mother.

It reminded her of her poor unborn child...

The little girl was carried into the house by Chu Peipei.

She lay obediently on Chu Peipei's shoulder with a smile on her lips.

1402.

Annan was fighting fiercely with Gu Zhiyu.

In the past few days, she has gradually gotten used to the presence of new men in the house and is no longer so repulsive to him.

Of course, the main reason is that Gu Zhiyu not only cooks delicious food, but is also very good at martial arts.

Not only did she get to eat a lot of fresh food, she also had a rare sparring partner during training.

In the past, she could only fight with the dog. But the dog was not a human after all, so many moves could not be used on it.

Changing my opponent to Gu Zhiyu, my practice methods and fighting skills became much more flexible. In just a few days, I made rapid progress.

The two fought back and forth for a few rounds, and then Annan stopped.

"No more practice! I'm tired!"

This man is much more capable than her.

They had been fighting for nearly three hours and she was almost exhausted, but the other party was still full of energy.

Gu Zhiyu also withdrew his hand and looked at her with a smile: "How do you feel today?"

Annan thought for a moment and said, "Not as much progress as yesterday."

Then ask: "Do you do physical training regularly?"

Gu Zhiyu: "Yeah. I practice every day."

Annan nodded. No wonder.

She started to stick to fitness after her rebirth.

When I was in college, I just learned some simple moves and didn't do any physical training.

Therefore, although the two of them are now equally skilled, her endurance is far inferior to Gu Zhiyu's.

Annan looked at Gu Zhiyu's calm and relaxed look and couldn't help but complain: "Don't you know how to be tired?"

Gu Zhiyu curled his lips: "A man can't say no."

Annan: ...

This petty guy always remembered what she said about him in Kangwang Community.

Take it out and make fun of her whenever you get the chance.

Annan's face darkened: "Good friends should be careful about their behavior and not say dirty words!"

Gu Zhiyu chuckled and said, "As you wish, my good friend."

Annan pursed his lips.

Why does it feel like any nice words he says will add a hint of ambiguity?

Since moving in, this man has changed his previous aloof and noble appearance. Like a peacock with its tail spread out, he has been constantly using his beauty to seduce this innocent girl.

He tried to take advantage of the opportunity to take her down.

After countless back and forth tugs of war, Annan had a serious talk with him.

Declare that you will never fall in love and can only be friends with him at best.

Gu Zhiyu readily agreed.

Thus, the most inappropriate friend in history was born.

Not only did this man fail to keep a proper distance from her, he also invaded every corner of her life under the pretext of being her friend.

Seeing that he was smiling happily again, Annan immediately stepped back.

"I've practiced enough and am going to bed! If you watch TV, remember to turn down the volume."

Then he fled back to his bedroom.

Gu Zhiyu looked at the door that slammed in front of him, smiled, and went back to his room to rest.

Annan returned to the bedroom, locked the door carefully, and slipped into the space.

She went to the bathroom on the first floor of the villa, picked a rose-scented bath ball and threw it into the bathtub, then lay down comfortably in it. The fatigue from the martial arts training just now was instantly swept away.

I soaked comfortably for more than half an hour until I felt sleepy, then I dried myself, changed into my nightgown, and slipped out of the room.

I lay down on the bed in a daze, closed my eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

Um?

Why does her bed seem to have become hard?

Annan opened his eyes in confusion and saw a sleeping face.

Gu Zhiyu? !

She woke up instantly and looked around.

This isn't her room?!
