Chapter 156 Losing Confidence
There was only one building in the Green Land community reserved for the team members' families to live in, and their team consisted of only Chen Zhong and his family. Most of the people living there were outside staff, most of whom were wood-type psychics who gave birth all day long, or "odd jobs" who did the team's laundry and cleaned up the villa.
"What can you do? Do you have special powers?" Zhuang Mingxu felt that all his life's self-control might have been used up at this moment.
"No," Guan Tong replied for the two of them.
"The team doesn't keep idle people. Starting tomorrow, you will get one day's food for one day's work," Zhuang Mingxu said, and then he shouted, "Bai Miao."
"Hey" Bai Miao's voice responded immediately from the seemingly empty second floor. He realized he was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth. He scratched his head and looked at Zhuang Mingxu cautiously, "Brother Mingxu".
"This is Bai Miao, you are in charge of all the logistics personnel. From now on, one of you will be responsible for cooking for the Greenland Community's superpowers, and the other will be responsible for cleaning the dirt of everyone in the team. You will distribute the food among yourselves. If you fail to complete the daily tasks, you will not have food." Zhuang Mingxu finished speaking and asked, "Ask me any questions now?"
Guan Tong shook her head, indicating that there were no more.
Yun Lu looked around carefully, then shook her head knowing the situation.
"Well," Zhuang Mingxu said to Ning Yuan, "you send them over and tell them about their daily supplies and whether they will receive benefits or penalties at the end of the month."
Ning Yuan looked at Yun Lu with a clear gaze, stood up with a smile, took a pair of car keys, and said, "Let's go."
It was too familiar. Zhuang Mingxu knew what Ning Yuan would do at a glance. He called out "A Yuan".
Ning Yuan looked over and saw Zhuang Mingxu's tired eyes at a glance. He glanced at the few people left in the hall standing on Zhuang Mingxu's side, and suddenly felt sad for Zhuang Mingxu.
"I know," Ning Yuan said angrily, turned around and walked out first.
Guan Tong turned around and followed. Yun Lu stared at the door of Lu Weiyi's room for a while reluctantly, and then thought that there would be no one there, so she left with a disappointed look on her face.
Everyone left and the living room became quiet for a while.
"Mingxu, go ask the young master what's going on. The young master...he is not that kind of person." Lin Yimu took the initiative to break the silence.
Zhuang Mingxu forced a smile, looking quite bitter. Finally, he nodded and looked at the pile of wild vegetables in the living room, "Let them come down to clean them up, I'll go find Xiaoyi."
"Well, let's communicate properly," said Lin Yimu.
Zhuang Mingxu said he wanted to communicate, but in fact he hadn't figured out how to start the conversation. He walked into the room hesitantly, and Lu Weiyi had already fallen asleep heartlessly.
After taking a shower in a wheelchair by himself and getting into bed, the sleepy Lu Weiyi automatically turned over and lay close to him.
In the past, Lu Weiyi's body temperature was low, and he was often cold all night in winter. This also led to Zhuang Mingxu rarely going on business trips in winter, and he would always take him with him on the occasional trips.
Now, perhaps due to his supernatural powers, Lu Weiyi's body was as hot as a small fireball, while he himself became cold all the time due to his disability in walking. However, his habit of sticking close to people when he met them remained unchanged.
Zhuang Mingxu moved his legs with difficulty with his hands, turned sideways, held the person in his arms, and looked at the peaceful sleeping face in his arms.
Lu Weiyi is good-looking, and his appearance is perfectly inherited from his mother, who is the most beautiful woman in Kyoto.
Many people are attracted by his appearance when they see him, which is not surprising. If he hadn't protected him overtly and covertly over the years, there is no telling how many people would have attacked him. During those days, Zhuang Mingxu was both distressed by this sweet burden and secretly happy that he could be on guard against others with a clear conscience.
But now, the person he holds in his hands no longer needs his protection to shock everyone, but he... still doesn't want to let go.
Zhuang Mingxu lowered his head and kissed the corner of the young man's mouth. Noticing that the man opened his mouth unconsciously, he paused and moved closer.
Ever since his leg problem, the two of them rarely had intimate behavior even when they slept in the same bed. On the one hand, Zhuang Mingxu's legs restricted their postures, and on the other hand, Lu Weiyi had never taken the initiative.
Being inferior to others in both physical strength and power, Zhuang Mingxu eventually lost his initial confidence.
**
The next morning, when Lu Weiyi got up, Zhuang Mingxu woke up.
"You don't have to get up so early." People who go out have to get up early because the journey is long and they waste time on the road. In addition, the weather is hot nowadays, so the real busy time is limited.
But the people in the base don’t need to do that. Usually Lu Weiyi tells them that they can sleep until seven or eight o’clock before doing their own things.
"It's okay, I'm awake." Zhuang Mingxu sat up from the bed and slowly moved towards the wheelchair. Lu Weiyi's voice came from the bathroom.
"When I came back, I met someone who was bitten by a zombie. I fed him some snow water, and he eventually turned into a zombie."
Zhuang Mingxu nodded, then remembered that he couldn't see, and replied, "Okay, I understand."
Zhuang Mingxu has always played a leading role in the relationship between the two, even in their daily conversations. Normally, Zhuang Mingxu would definitely ask some details, but at this time he was waiting for Lu Weiyi to ask about the arrangements for Yun Lu and her daughter, so naturally he didn't say much. Lu Weiyi was busy seizing the time and didn't say a word for a while.
After what happened last night, everyone seemed to want to see how they were doing during dinner.
As soon as Lu Weiyi came out, everyone could see the red dots on his fair neck. Zhuang Mingxu, who was pushed out by him, had a calm face and no signs of turning hostile.
Everyone thought that this was a way of settling grudges, and when the matter was resolved, the people who were most worried about Zhuang Mingxu also felt relieved when they saw this.
And the intimate movements are probably all misunderstandings.
After dinner, the group was about to leave, and Lu Weiyi remembered that Zhuang Mingxu had not yet told him when he would go for leg treatment.
"Zhuang Mingxu" Lu Weiyi rolled down the car window and looked at the person in the wheelchair seeing him off at the door.
"Hmm?" Zhuang Mingxu looked at him.
"When will we go to the Xiangning City base to treat your leg?" Lu Weiyi asked with his unique self-righteousness.
Zhuang Mingxu didn't know if there was any hidden meaning in his question, whether he was simply anxious to treat him, or if he could get rid of his burden after he was cured. He was silent for a while and said, "Let's wait until the weather stabilizes. It's raining today and the roads will be difficult to walk on. You guys should be careful. If there is anything wrong, take cover."
"Okay, the hospital facilities over there are very complete. We can go there directly for the operation and we don't have to bother looking for surgical equipment. Think about what else we need and we can prepare it in advance." Lu Weiyi pushed up the car window and finally couldn't help but remind him.
"Before you leave, remember to ask Brother Xi to prepare some food in advance." He didn't really want to eat fast food, but he knew that compared to those who couldn't afford it, his family was already living a good life, so he had no reason to complain.
"Okay," Zhuang Mingxu smiled.
Lu Weiyi felt that something was wrong with him, but since everyone was waiting to set off, he didn't ask any further questions.
**
Yun Lu was a lively person, and the sudden appearance of two women in the only team composed entirely of men had already attracted a lot of attention. Before long, the news that Lu Weiyi had brought back a woman had spread to everyone who was paying attention to their team.
Those who knew the situation secretly laughed at Zhuang Mingxu. In the end times, everyone just gossiped about him in private. Except for those extremely bored people, no one would offend Zhuang Mingxu.
He had the entire logistics of the only team firmly in his hands, and everyone kept their distance from Yun Lu and Guan Tong, mother and daughter.
Guan Tong had enough experience, so she would have noticed it. It's just that they are now living under someone else's roof, so even if they noticed it, they couldn't do anything. Yun Lu didn't have so many thoughts. She was still thinking about when to meet Lu Weiyi, what to do and how to cultivate their relationship. But she found that after a few days, she couldn't meet Lu Weiyi at all.
Lu Weiyi leads a team all day long, leaving early and returning late. His life is monotonous and has no ups and downs. He basically has no time to set foot in the Greenland Community. Yun Lu couldn't see anyone, so she asked about Bai Miao and hoped that he could take her to see Lu Weiyi.
Bai Miao looked at Yun Lu's innocent face and didn't know whether he should discourage her or not. "I'm busy."
Lu Weiyi only asked Zhuang Mingxu to arrange these two people on the day he came back, and never asked about it again. It seemed that he didn't care. In addition, Bai Miao was more familiar with Zhuang Mingxu, so he naturally would not help Yun Lu.
"I won't delay my work, so just do it after I'm done, okay?" Yun Lu had just reached adulthood and was beginning to fall in love. She was shy and youthful, and she looked very pleasing to the eye, especially when she was acting coquettishly.
Unfortunately, Bai Miao felt that this was a matter of principle. He shook his head and said, "Go and do your work. There are a lot of clothes today, and you didn't wash yesterday's clothes cleanly. You need to wash them again. Don't make this mistake again. Both detergent and water are valuable nowadays. There is no extra to waste on you. If you still can't wash them clean, the team has done nothing for you, and you won't get any food."
Yun Lu and Guan Tong were responsible for helping with cooking and washing clothes. The big pot meal was just a pot of vegetables and two white steamed buns, which was the standard for ordinary people. As for washing clothes, they naturally washed them by hand, as electricity was much more valuable than manpower in this world.
"white……"
"Lulu, go pick these vegetables." Yun Lu wanted to continue begging, but Guan Tong called out to her from afar. She glared at Bai Miao coquettishly and trotted towards Guan Tong.
Bai Miao just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, he saw a makeshift room not far away. Zhuang Mingxu was looking over here vaguely. Bai Miao was a little overwhelmed, but still went over against the wind.
"Brother Mingxu".
"What does she want you to do?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
"..." Bai Miao was thinking about the possibility of getting away with it. He just glanced at Zhuang Mingxu and saw him looking at him calmly. It seemed that his eyes could see through him directly. "She begged me to take her to find Brother Wei Yi, but I refused."
Bai Miao said righteously.
"Yeah," Zhuang Mingxu nodded and looked into the distance, "Go and get busy."
After Bai Miao left, Zhuang Mingxu fell silent again. He couldn't guess what Lu Weiyi was thinking. He said he didn't care, but he brought it back.
Although he said he cared, he really didn't care about it in these few days.
Even two days ago, when he took the initiative to test the waters, Lu Weiyi just acted as if he was letting him arrange it at will. This made Zhuang Mingxu not know what to do and he couldn't guess his opponent's thoughts, which seriously affected his offense and defense.
Zhuang Mingxu glanced at Yun Lu who was busy in the distance. The cheerful figure of the young girl was like a lark, attracting a lot of attention in this world.
He sneered, thinking that he had actually started to worry about gains and losses. If it were in the past, he would definitely choose to forcefully expel the person from his territory. He lowered his head to look at his calves, which had already shrunk a little. These legs...
In the end, it still made him lose confidence.
