The Bu siblings weren't well-off. Although they had enough to eat and drink, clothes costing over a hundred yuan were a considerable burden.
Knowing the siblings' financial situation, Yan Shi noticed that Bu Ke's gaze kept lingering on the red woolen coat. She considered her budget and decided to give it to Bu Ke as a New Year's gift, something worthy of being called "older sister."
"Pack up that red one too."
"elder sister?"
"A New Year's gift for you."
"Sister, why don't you be my sister-in-law?" Bu Ke hugged Yan Shi's waist and buried her face in her chest as she spoke.
"I won you over with just one piece of clothing."
"Nonsense, I was clearly won over by my sister's charm."
Yan Shi didn't know what Bu Ke had said to her brother, but she received Bu Ke's reply that evening.
My brother said he'd like to get to know him.
"Then I'll organize a get-together sometime." Yan Shi felt secretly delighted, even happier than if she had someone she liked.
Yan Shi hurriedly called Chang Ge.
Who are they?
“You, the siblings, Zhuang Zhao and I, if you want it to be more lively, you can all go over.”
"But I'm worried that he'll fall for someone else."
"Then it's just the few of us, but it's obvious at a glance that you're interested in him."
"It's okay, I'm ready."
Judging from Chang Ge's tone, Yan Shi immediately pictured her sacrificing herself for her country.
"Don't be nervous. Although Bu Qing is not very talkative, he is quite a gentleman."
"I just love his cool and aloof demeanor."
Yan Shi sighed, saying that love can blind people. He hoped that Chang Ge could be more rational and view Bu Qing dialectically, rather than relying on emotional filters, as these filters rarely last.
If the two don't end up together, that's fine. But if they do and then break up, it will be very awkward for her as the middleman.
After all, some people are great as friends, but as lovers, they'd drive you crazy.
14th, sunny
The group traveled out of the city by car to carry out their mission.
After much thought, Yan Shi decided that going out of the city to do missions was the most modern and fashionable way to date. It would not only earn money, but also allow him to get to know the other person through cooperation and let them see his abilities and charm.
She's such a clever little devil.
Since the last zombie outbreak ended, there have been fewer and fewer zombies wandering outside District 7, and the tasks assigned have become more and more mundane, such as exploring the map or assisting in facility construction. They are much easier in comparison, but the pay is not much either.
The mission they were assigned was to survey the zombie situation in Zongyang Village and install monitoring devices. In addition to the five of them, there were several technicians, and the five of them were responsible for the safety of the technicians.
Zongyang Village is not close to the Seventh District; it took almost two hours to drive there before we saw the village.
"I didn't see any zombies."
"They've hidden themselves away. They're leaders now, and they've got brains."
"I don't like enemies who have brains."
"We'll be splitting up in a bit. How do you all think we should divide up?" Yan Shi said at the opportune moment.
"I want to be in a group with my sister!" Bu Ke threw herself into Yan Shi's arms.
Zhuang Zhao looked at Yan Shi, his thoughts self-evident.
"Brother, go with Sister Chang Ge. Sister Chang Ge is very strong and will definitely be able to protect you."
“Bu Ke.” Bu Qing glanced at her, stopping her from saying anything more outrageous.
"Hehe, I have two older sisters to protect me, so I'm not afraid of you."
"Bu Qing and Chang Ge, go take a look around the village. We'll stay here and work with the technicians. Don't forget to check if there's anything to eat nearby."
After getting off the car, they split into two groups. Zhuang Zhao stayed close to Yan Shi, while Bu Ke hopped and skipped around, looking east and west around Yan Shi like a restless rabbit.
"It's so quiet, it doesn't look like there are any zombies." After saying that, Bu Ke noticed a cluster of purple and white flowers by the roadside, so he ran over and picked them, returning with a bunch in a short while.
"Sister, this is for you."
Thank you.
Bu Ke smiled like an angel in the sunlight, and Yan Shi was instantly captivated.
"Oh my, you little girl are so cute!" Yan Shi couldn't help but pinch Bu Ke's cheek and exclaim.
"hey-hey."
Three monitoring devices were needed, and the technicians drove around looking for suitable locations.
"Sister, there's a flowering tree over there. I'll go pick a branch for you."
"Hey, don't run around." Yan Shi didn't stop Bu Ke, watching her run into someone else's yard.
"Bu Qing is really having a hard time. If I had a younger sister like that, I would look ten years older."
"It's better to be well-behaved, like me."
"Yes, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease. The well-behaved and sensible one doesn't say anything and doesn't ask for anything, which is really heartbreaking."
Yan Shi looked at Zhuang Zhao.
"Be good to yourself. If you're unhappy, talk about it so you know what you shouldn't do."
"I'm not unhappy."
"Won't Bu Ke be unhappy?"
"A little bit, and it's not that I'm unhappy. Besides, we're trying to bring Bu Qing and Chang Ge together right now, so the big picture is more important."
"So you're too obedient. I rarely consider other people's feelings. If you're worried that saying it will affect our relationship, you can say it in a lighthearted tone like Bu Ke, or you can write it on a note for me. In short, convey it to me."
"The closer the relationship, the more it needs to be maintained. I don't want us to end up going our separate ways with only negative feelings about each other."
"We won't go our separate ways."
"That's not the point, okay?"
"Sister, come quick, there's a living person here!" Bu Ke shouted, waving his hand.
Yan Shi was taken aback, then called everyone over.
"several?"
"Two children."
Yan Shi looked in the direction Bu Ke pointed and saw two heads peeking out from a small, low house that resembled a doghouse.
"It really is a living person." Yan Shi hurriedly went closer to take a look, but Bu Ke saw her reach out and pulled her back.
