I said, "And then there's the place we're going back to next. You're Jingjie's sister, so I treat you like family. I hope you can treat us like family too. I know we're still strangers to each other, but there's one thing I hope you'll remember: your sister, Fei Lichao, Zhang Zhihao, and I are willing to entrust our lives to each other. I hope you'll remember that."
Lu Yun wiped away her tears, still with tear stains on her face. She was already beautiful, but now that she was crying, she looked even more pitiful.
She asked, "What do you mean? Are you warning me?"
I was taken aback, not expecting her to ask that. I shook my head and said, "I'm not warning you. You're Jingjie's sister, so I'm just telling you some things..."
"Alright, stop pretending," Lu Yun suddenly interrupted me. "I know what you want to say, you just want me to follow the rules! Don't worry, since my sister trusts you, I will definitely follow your rules. But I also hope you remember, I don't like being forced to do anything, understand?"
I looked at Lu Yun, a little surprised. I didn't expect Lu Yun to be so impulsive!
I didn't say anything more, and nodded, saying, "No problem, I won't force you to do anything, and I won't force you to accept our existence right now. Take it slow, you'll get used to it eventually."
"Hmph." Lu Yun snorted coldly, turned her head away, seemingly unwilling to speak to me.
Looking at the girl's stubborn yet lonely face, I smiled and said, "No matter what bad things you've experienced before, they won't happen again after we get home."
Lu Yun didn't even look at me, and asked directly, "If you have any questions or anything else to say, just say it quickly. If there are no more questions, I'm going downstairs. It's freezing cold in here."
I smiled. "There's one last question."
Lu Yun frowned. "Then ask quickly."
I asked, "When we found your diary before, you were living in a supermarket, right? If that's the case, I'm very curious, how did you manage to live in a supermarket with so many zombies?"
Lu Yun's expression changed slightly after hearing the question. It was a very subtle change, and she quickly concealed it, but I still noticed it.
There was definitely a problem!
Lu Yun turned to stare at me, her eyes filled with wariness, and said, "That's my own business, it has nothing to do with you."
After she finished speaking, she left the rooftop without looking back.
As I stared at the girl's departing figure, I suddenly felt like a complete idiot.
"Oh, were we in too much of a hurry?"
I looked at the entrance to the rooftop, my hands in my pockets. It was quite cold up there.
However, although I was a bit anxious, it wasn't without its gains. At least I know that this girl is definitely hiding some secrets, and these secrets are very important.
"I reckon this girl has..."
"Haha, I knew you'd be here, Dr. Lu. Come on, I've brought up two bottles of wine. Let's each have one and drink slowly, and we can also discuss our collaboration. What do you think?"
"..."
Chen Yefei suddenly appeared on the rooftop, interrupting my thoughts. I looked at the two bottles of beer in his hand and was speechless.
However, I couldn't refuse their kind offer, so I had no choice but to agree.
The following time passed rather slowly. Chen Yefei discussed cooperation with me while drinking. Even if I didn't want to talk about it, he would always steer the conversation to this topic, which made me feel quite helpless.
In the end, I could only discuss this matter with him.
In short, that night I felt like I was drinking horse piss, not beer. It was so damn awful!
…………
The next morning, I felt like my head was about to explode.
It's not because of the beer; one bottle of beer won't make you drunk.
The main reason is that Chen Yefei talked too much last night, which made me suffer from insomnia all night and feel terribly uncomfortable.
Fortunately, no one rushed to leave in the morning, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do.
In the morning, I checked on Sister Jing. Her wound was healing well and there was no infection. Sister Jing also seemed to have regained some of her energy.
So, at 1 p.m., we set off to go home.
Because the car was parked quite far away, we had Chen Yefei deliver it to us.
As we parted, Chen Yefei held my hand reluctantly and said, "Dr. Lu, my conversation last night was very helpful. I thought about it all night and couldn't sleep. I'm increasingly convinced that we can succeed!"
I gave a wry smile, not knowing what to say.
