I'm at my wit's end with this guy.
Ye Cheng drank a bottle of wine and is now a little drunk. I have no idea what he's thinking.
I was too lazy to argue with him any longer, so I let Fang Yuan take Zhou Qingya and the others away.
Ye Cheng is too unpredictable. If we continue to get entangled with him, who knows what might happen? And then there's Wang Zhao, who left earlier. He's definitely holding a grudge. If he leaves Central Town now, who knows what might happen.
So, let's wait a bit.
Or rather, leaving tomorrow wouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, there are empty rooms in the central town where I can sleep. I can just tell Ye Qian when the time comes, and there won't be any problems.
Besides, Ye Qian definitely hopes that I can stay.
After settling Zhou Qingya and the others in, I returned to Zhang Jianzhou's clinic. He was still busy, with Fu Chen and Zhou Jie helping him.
Back at the clinic, I got busy as well.
To be honest, I haven't been this busy in a long time. Following Zhang Jianzhou around and helping him treat patients reminds me of when I was in the hospital, learning from him. Life back then was tiring, but it was relatively peaceful.
I hope there will be such days in the future.
And so, another day passed in the midst of a busy life.
During this time, Ye Cheng came to find Zhou Qingya. I told him that Zhou Qingya had already gone back and that he should stop thinking about such things. When he left, he seemed thoughtful, as if he was pondering something. Could it be that he wanted to go to the research institute to find Zhou Qingya?
It seems that this possibility cannot be ruled out.
If he wants to go, he definitely will.
It seems we need to be careful around Ye Cheng to prevent him from causing harm to the research institute.
On the third day, when I saw Ye Cheng still in the central town, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this guy hadn't gone to the research institute to look for Zhou Qingya.
...
The central town conference at the end of October passed just like that. Zhang Jianzhou had been busy treating patients for the past three days, with virtually no free time. After everything was over, he didn't complain at all and followed me back to the research institute.
I don't know what he's thinking, but I'm sure he doesn't want to stay by my side any longer.
Having him by my side is like putting him under house arrest; the feeling of being locked up like that is very unpleasant.
Although he doesn't need to take any medicine now, this kind of life is really boring.
A few days after returning to the research institute, Ye Cheng unsurprisingly appeared outside the institute. His purpose was simple: to see Zhou Qingya.
Only I can step in and resolve this kind of situation.
I stood in front of Ye Cheng outside the research institute and said, "Ye Cheng, I already told you back in Central Town that you don't need to bother with Zhou Qingya anymore. Go back. Even if you stand here all day, Zhou Qingya won't come out."
Ye Cheng said, "Lu Xiaonan, I know we don't get along, but it's pointless for you to stop me like this. Is it any of your business if I'm pursuing the person I like?"
I said, "That's none of my business. You can pursue other people, but you're pursuing mine, and that's something I have to do."
Ye Cheng sneered: "What's it to you!"
I said, "If it's none of my business, who is? Ye Cheng, although we don't get along, if you can't even get past me, and you still want to pursue Zhou Qingya, don't you think that's a bit ridiculous?"
Honestly, I was just stalling for time. Getting Ye Cheng to pursue Zhou Qingya is simply impossible. I already knew exactly what kind of person Ye Cheng was. If I really let Zhou Qingya go with him, wouldn't that be pushing her into a fire pit?
I would never do such a thing.
Ye Cheng wasn't stupid. After listening to my words, he thought about it for a moment, his expression softened considerably, and then he turned and left.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw him leave.
What I fear most is that he'll become persistent and clingy; I really wouldn't know what to do then.
Ye Cheng didn't show up again in the following days, probably at home figuring out how to pursue Zhou Qingya.
If he doesn't show up, things will be a bit quieter here. Otherwise, if this guy keeps coming over to harass Zhou Qingya, how are we supposed to live?
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The truckload of food that Yao Chengjie sent us earlier has been mostly eaten up, and the rest will probably be gone soon. This situation of spending more than we earn isn't a good idea, so we discussed it and decided to go out and find some more supplies tomorrow.
I don't know if we can find supplies in Pearl City. Ever since the raiders started sweeping through the Pearl City area, basically no lone survivors or teams dare to live here anymore. Moreover, the nearby supermarkets and warehouses have all been looted by the raiders.
Finding supplies will be difficult.
If we can't find supplies, we'll have to find a way from the central town.
No matter what, we still have to make a living.
Two more days passed, around November 20th, when Zhong Jianzhou and Du Xu arrived from Jiajiang.
As Zhong Jianzhou previously stated, because he now has to take medication and is under the supervision of the research institute, he can only come once a month.
The little girl was very happy to see her father, and then the father and daughter went to wander around somewhere else.
He reassured her that there was nothing to worry about, as the little girl knew how to use a gun and wasn't afraid of zombies.
Moreover, Zhong Jianzhou wasn't stupid; how could he possibly put his daughter in a dangerous situation?
This time, in addition to the two of them, Cui Xiaofei, Huang Yiyang, and Wang Xintong also came.
The moment I saw Wang Xintong, I brought out Chu Yu's alternate personality. After all, I had some things I wanted to discuss with her and asked her to help me analyze them.
Of course, they didn't just come with people this time; they also brought us a lot of food, which they said was all grown by themselves.
This surprised and delighted us.
We were originally planning to go out and find some supplies, but they delivered them to us. It was a real lifesaver.
Life continued slowly like this, and everyone in the research institute gradually developed their own life goals and priorities, no longer living aimlessly as before, with the sole purpose of simply surviving.
Ultimately, humans are creatures of desire. Once their stomachs are full, they start to think about other things.
That's how I am now. I need to figure out the current situation and the future we will face, otherwise I won't feel comfortable continuing to live in the research institute.
Pu Weichao is still with Yao Chengjie, so I can only rely on Chu Yu to help me analyze this.
