Yan Shi was in a daze and in high spirits, so he was not willing to listen to his threats. Zhuang Zhao saw that they were not really angry, so he went along with Yan Shi.
After the meal, Master and the others left. Yan Shi squatted on the sofa, hugging a cushion, his eyes fixed on Zhuang Zhao. Wherever Zhuang Zhao went, his head followed.
It was rare for Zhuang Zhao to be so attached to Yan Shi, so he deliberately went back and forth between the kitchen and the living room, and finally took a pudding from the refrigerator and sat down next to her.
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at that person who's never home."
"I'm not always away from home, I just go out a few more times. Have I ever missed a meal with you?"
"I called you but you weren't there." Yan Shi pouted and held out her hand to Zhuang Zhao.
"Look, I got this cut while eating a mango."
“There was a lot of blood. The knife was so sharp. The blood droplets were so pretty, you didn’t even see them.”
"Once this busy period is over, I can develop a few more best-selling perfumes so I can buy baby formula for my child."
"You care more about things that have absolutely nothing to do with me than about me." Yan Shi poked Zhuang Zhao's chest with his finger.
"I was wrong. From now on, I will only follow your lead."
"That's how it should be. Even if you have a child, the mother is still the most important."
"So, in the child's mother's heart, who is the most important person?"
"child!"
Zhuang Zhao: I knew it.
"Don't cry, don't cry. In my heart, Zhuang Xiaozhao is still the most important person, and Zhuang Xiaozhao is the one I love the most."
Zhuang Zhao carried Yan Shi back to the room and locked the door.
She's expressed her love so openly, he has to reciprocate with actions, right?
Ever since Yan Shi discovered that he could see the red thread of fate, he has been more proactive in setting up a stall and even considered renting a shop to open a store.
This time, Zhuang Zhao surprisingly didn't offer his full support immediately.
"Didn't your master say that fortune telling depends on fate? Setting up a stall is different from opening a shop. The stall is not fixed, but the shop can't be moved."
"Besides, have you already decided to settle down in District Seven? Last time you said you wanted to go back to the Northeast, to return to a rural life, to raise cattle, ducks, cats, and dogs. Don't you want that anymore?"
"I want to~" Yan Shi replied timidly.
"Do you still want to open a shop now?"
Yan Shi shook his head.
"I can't wait to go herding cattle, walking dogs, growing flowers, and swimming."
"Once we've saved enough money, we'll go and build you a swimming pool, and raise ducks in the pond next to it."
"Um!"
Yan Shi was appeased and turned to calculate his savings.
Now that the safety zone is being replanned, the Northeast, as a grain-producing area, will definitely be redeveloped, and there's no need to worry about moving there into uninhabited areas.
March arrived in the blink of an eye, and school started.
There are fewer children now, and it's not enough for peers to form a class. Children's education has been lacking for several years, so it's not as detailed as before. Entrance exam scores determine age, and primary and junior high schools are the first to catch up with compulsory education. High school and university will have to wait.
The Seventh District didn't prioritize education before, so it's a bit chaotic now. In contrast, the Central First District focused on protecting schools and research from the beginning, and the schools have long been operating in an orderly manner, even supplying a group of professionals to society.
No one expected that something like this would happen on the third day of school.
The seventh district is not small, but there are not many students. The school bus will circle around the main road to pick up students. Usually, two school buses depart at the same time. However, due to traffic jams and waiting for people, they usually do not arrive at the same time, with a time difference of a few minutes. On this day, the first school bus had arrived ten minutes earlier, but the second school bus was still nowhere to be seen, and the driver could not be contacted.
The school was in a hurry when they saw the emergency broadcast online.
An unusual species has been spotted in District 7. Witnesses say it has hijacked a school bus and is moving northwest. Satellites are currently tracking and locating the school bus. Anyone with other sightings is asked to call the hotline.
The second school bus was hijacked by an alien species! The school principal collapsed to the ground.
Yan Shi received the call immediately; it was from Yi Fan.
"It seems like the car I was in was hijacked by aliens. There were three aliens. They told the driver to drive out of the city. No one was hurt yet."
"Don't be afraid, do as I say, first take the stopper off the little bottle hanging around your neck."
"Then what?"
"Then I felt inside the clothes, near the right rib, and there was a loose thread. I pulled it out and found a rolled-up talisman."
"Um."
"Pour the contents of the small bottle hanging around your neck onto the talisman, and you can go home."
A few seconds later, Yifan appeared in the living room, and Yan Shi hurriedly went to him.
"You must have been terrified."
"No, I didn't see anything scary."
"You're being stubborn. Can you describe what happened in the car to your sister? Your sister needs to relay the situation to the people who are rescuing the other children." Yan Shi asked Yi Fan, holding his hand. His little hands were ice cold, and his stubborn insistence that everything was fine was both cute and heartbreaking.
Yifan described the situation as best as possible, and Yanshi relayed the information by calling the hotline.
To be honest, Yan Shi is too lazy to go to the scene now and has no desire to personally carry out rescue operations. There are endless zombies and cunning alien species.
Ever since she returned from the investigation team, she has lost interest in fighting and killing, and only wants a peaceful life. Especially in situations like this where people are captured but not eaten, she suspects that it's some alien with an overflowing maternal instinct who wants to raise children for fun and has caused this trouble.
The safe zone has a dedicated rescue team that deals with alien species, so let's leave it to them.
Out of sight, out of mind; self-deception and escapism are always the simplest solutions.
She thought the matter would be resolved quickly, but reality was full of surprises.
The children on the school bus were indeed rescued in time and were unharmed. However, a few of them were frightened and will need to rest for a while.
The next day, another child went missing.
