Not wanting to make things difficult for his friend any longer, Shen Yanming opened the trunk and let him sit inside to change his pants.
Zhang Heping was stunned, feeling a sense of suffocation at this operation.
However, hiding in a dark and cramped space is still better than sitting in the open.
He nodded and sat down without hesitation.
Shen Yanming had no intention of covering it up; he simply used his body as a shield to cover it from the front.
But Zhang Heping wouldn't have it; he was afraid of being seen. Although it was embarrassing enough, he didn't want to lose face even more!
So Zhang reached out and pulled the hood down a bit, then slowly changed his pants using the light that shone through the narrow gap.
He wanted to hurry, but the trunk wasn't very spacious. It was already difficult enough for a big man like him to lie down, let alone have to do the two "difficult" tasks of taking off and putting on clothes inside.
This made the already cramped space, filled with suitcases and other miscellaneous items, even more crowded.
If the lid hadn't been put on, Zhang Heping could have stuck his legs out, but now... he's really asking for trouble.
However, for the sake of saving face, Zhang Heping felt it was worth it!
After finally managing to put my pants on, I came out drenched in sweat.
Shen Yanming glanced at it and calmly said, "Can you still drive? If not, I'll take over."
Zhang Heping thought for a moment and felt that after the commotion just now, his mood had calmed down a lot. So he nodded: "Okay!"
Shen Yanming hummed in agreement and sat back down in the back seat.
It wasn't that he didn't want to drive; rather, he slipped the safety basket into the car while Zhang Heping was away, after sneaking into the parking lot.
I did consider releasing two at the time, but I hadn't thought about that beforehand and didn't have any in the car.
If it's just one person, you can try to brush it off by saying the other person didn't see it, but if it's two, it's too obvious.
So, they only put one in the car. But this slight caution almost led to a disaster.
If I had known, I would have just created two safe havens and let the other side guess as they pleased.
But there's no other way now, so he can only continue holding the baby. Compared to Zhang Heping, he has space to rely on, making it safer for him to hold the child.
As for putting the baby into the space earlier, since the seat was blocking the view and it was extremely dangerous, he didn't think Zhang Heping would have been able to pay attention to the movements in the back seat in such an emergency.
The moment the crisis ended, Shen Yanming quickly brought the baby out. Even when Zhang Heping had recovered, all he cared about was whether the baby was hurt.
Of course, these were all Shen Yanming's wishful thinking. If the other party really discovered anything amiss, he would have no choice but to accept his fate.
After all, he couldn't possibly disregard his baby's safety. Even if it meant risking a secret being leaked, he had to ensure his child's safety.
Therefore, Shen Yanming, who sat back in the back seat, had some complicated and difficult-to-describe thoughts.
He didn't want the other person to notice the change that had just occurred, but at the same time, he was worried that the other person had already noticed something was wrong.
Although you may trust the other person's character, people's hearts are fickle, and who can predict what will happen in the future?
But he couldn't just kill his friend based on a guess without any evidence; that would be no different from being a beast.
Fortunately, Zhang Heping's series of reactions made it seem as if he hadn't discovered anything.
He hoped in his heart that the other person wasn't faking it. If they were, then they might as well pretend for the rest of their lives.
Otherwise, he might actually take action, which is not what he wants to see.
Shen Yanming remained silent, his gaze on Zhang Heping in the driver's seat filled with complex emotions.
As if sensing something, Zhang Heping said tremblingly, "Old Shen, is something wrong? I've already slowed down, 25 miles per hour, really! If you think it's still too fast, I'll slow it down even more?"
Shen Yanming snapped out of his daze and said, "That's it!"
"Oh, oh!" Zhang Heping responded twice, then asked in a pleading tone, "Could you please stop staring at me with such a piercing gaze? I'm really scared, I'll never dare to drive fast again!"
Shen Yanming seemed to have let down all his guard, and leaned back lazily in the back seat.
Staring at Zhang Heping's indistinct reflection in the glass, he laughed and said, "Really? I only glanced at the back of your head twice."
Zhang Heping, however, found it not funny at all. He pursed his lips and said, "How could it not be funny! My hair stood on end just now. I felt like someone wanted to skin me alive and pull out my bones."
"What heinous crime have you committed that would cause such cruel torture to you?" Shen Yanming probed.
Zhang Heping spat, "I've lived an upright and honest life, with no shame before heaven and earth, except for today when I almost killed your whole family of four. But don't worry, I'll learn from this lesson and be more careful in the future. I'll never dare to drive fast when I have a baby again."
“Yes, I believe you!” Shen Yanming said.
Zhang Heping laughed after hearing this, and said, "Old Shen, do you know that if anything happens to any of you today, I'll never have peace of mind for the rest of my life? I might be buried with you, or..."
Sigh, anyway, I don't have any ties. Even with Xiaoxi, we don't necessarily have to be together. Rather than regretting it for the rest of my life, I might as well just leave and save myself from all this torment.
Thankfully, God took pity on you, and you are all alright. Because you are unharmed, I can live in peace.
Shen Yanming was somewhat moved after hearing this. He sighed and said, "Live well. As long as you don't do anything to harm my family of four, you will always be my brother, Shen Yanming. As long as I live, I will protect you and make sure you thrive in this apocalypse."
Shen Yanming said this because his probing had yielded no results. He didn't want to keep a ticking time bomb around, so he offered him a reward to let him know what to do.
As if knowing his thoughts, Bi Qiaoan reached out her right hand and gripped his arm tightly. Shen Yanming could feel her body trembling slightly; she was probably worried about what had just happened.
Not wanting her to feel anxious, he smiled at her and reassured her, "Don't worry!"
Zhang Heping didn't understand Lao Shen's intention. He laughed and said, "How could you have such great abilities, let alone be so successful? At most, you can only ensure I have enough to eat and drink! But it's good to be able to eat and drink my fill. I'm not very ambitious. I just like to lie around and be a lazy bum, hehe!"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Being a slacker is great. The things you have here can guarantee that you can be a slacker for life without worrying about turning your life around."
Zhang Heping nodded, "Okay, okay, save this for me. I'll rely on you for the rest of my life, I'm not going to leave!"
Shen Yanming agreed, "Come on, I'll make sure you have plenty to eat and drink."
He made the promise sincerely, but Zhang Heping only listened casually. Because he knew that the future of the world was still uncertain.
If I take it seriously, how much pressure will Old Shen be under?
He has two little ones to raise, and he can't just rely on his brothers when he's able-bodied.
