Shen Wangshu's resolute refusal seemed to be within Song Lei's expectations.
The handsome man was somewhat disappointed, but his expression remained calm. He nodded slightly to Shen Wangshu, then turned and left.
Very gentlemanly manners.
Compared to the smug little man beside him, the zombie who was showing off to the point of almost reaching the heavens was truly like heaven and earth.
However, Shen Wangshu felt that she still preferred A Xuan.
Song Lei was very busy after all. He claimed to be a high-ranking officer in the military, and the superhumans who came back with him did indeed obey his orders.
The credit for clearing the farmland and harvesting a considerable amount of sweet potatoes for future storage ultimately goes to the Ning family. Not only did Nan Lan's casually unleashed fire burn away all the useless weeds, which then became fertilizer for future planting, but A Tu's skillful use of his abilities to quickly dig up all the sweet potatoes before the fire saved a great deal of time and effort.
Not to mention A-Guang, who was all smiles and puffed out his chest in front of Song Lei, and with a wave of his hand, a burst of light from his supernatural power made all the zombies disappear.
Of course, A-Guang didn't give the harvested crystal cores to Song Lei; he kept them all and presented them to Nan Lan as a treasure.
Nan Lan then gave it to Shen Wangshu.
Shen Wangshu felt that A Guang was probably cursing himself in his heart, even though he looked well-behaved and innocent.
However, the Ning family was truly capable, and Song Lei was naturally too embarrassed to steal the credit. Moreover, he wasn't short-sighted and certainly wouldn't offend Shen Wangshu for a small achievement. He was in a hurry to leave, casually assuring Nan Lan that he would try to secure a reward from the base, his impeccable manners making her feel a stark contrast.
She glanced sideways at the zombie who was holding Shen Wangshu in his arms as if in a show of defiance, then looked at the tall and handsome Song Lei who was hurrying away, and snorted and muttered, "You should have some manners towards outsiders." She seemed to be disgusted by the zombie, but she clearly distinguished between insiders and outsiders.
Song Lei is an outsider.
The zombie is... one's own corpse.
Shen Wangshu thought Nan Lan was absolutely right, but she couldn't bear to make Ah Xuan unhappy. She patted the zombie's furry head, not even noticing how terrified the base team member who had been instructed by Song Lei to lead them to their lodgings looked.
After all, he looked tall and aloof, his imposing aura sending chills down one's spine... Of course, this was the natural intimidation a zombie exerts on its prey. Yet, this very man was obediently having his head patted, occasionally even nuzzling Shen Wangshu's hand in a fawning manner. It was too much to bear; the base team members couldn't stand watching and turned their heads away. They didn't hear Shen Wangshu jokingly saying to Nan Lan, "If you feel bad about it, go and speak nicely to him." She winked playfully at A Guang, who was grinning and grinding his teeth beside her.
“Song Lei is quite capable,” Ning’s father nodded and said.
"Rou Rou is one thing, but Lan Lan, you're not getting any younger. When are you going to find a boyfriend?"
Ning's mother was naturally very concerned about her daughters' marriages. Since Shen Wangshu was with Ah Xuan, Ning's mother didn't care about her, but Nan Lan's continued single status worried her greatly. She felt sorry for Nan Lan, seeing her all alone. Although she had a group of brothers, how could brothers be more caring than a lover? She thought Song Lei was handsome, capable, and seemed to have a high social standing, making him a good match for Nan Lan, so she advised, "I think Song Lei is very good."
In the apocalypse, there are few survivors, let alone a talented and handsome man like Song Lei.
Don't assume that there are few good women or good men in the apocalypse. Ning's mother felt that the opportunity was rare.
"He's too weak, not even as good as me," Ah Guang hurriedly said, peeking out from the side.
Although Song Lei is a rare superhuman, in A Guang's eyes he is simply a good-for-nothing. He can't even handle a few zombies, yet he dares to compete with A Guang for Nan Lan.
“He’s not my type,” Nan Lan said to Ning’s mother after a moment of silence.
"Why?" Ning's mother thought Song Lei was quite good.
“Too domineering, I don’t like it,” Nan Lan said calmly. “Men should be more obedient.” Her expression was genuinely serious, clearly showing that she truly believed it.
Ning's mother looked at her with an expression that said, "This is utterly outrageous!"
Ah Guang was taken aback, coughed, and revealed a weak expression, as if he might faint at any moment. He said shyly, "Boss is right."
He looked at Nan Lan with his delicate eyes filled with admiration, and said softly with his hands clasped to his chest, "Why are men so domineering? So restless." He was a handsome and slender young man, so his expression when he said this did not come across as effeminate or coy. Instead, people felt that the young man's feelings were sincere and pure, and that he genuinely cared for his boss.
Nan Lan thought the flattery was quite good and appreciatively ruffled the boy's hair.
The handsome young man squinted his eyes happily.
This time, even Ning's father was looking at people with a look of utter disbelief.
The elderly couple felt that their decades-old worldview had been severely impacted.
"What... what does this mean?" Ning's mother had never known that Nan Lan's views on choosing a partner were so skewed, and she was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. She looked at Shen Wangshu for help, hoping that her good daughter would say something to make Nan Lan understand what a real man is. The latter was watching the show, and seeing that the fire had spread to her, she thought for a moment before suppressing a laugh and saying to Nan Lan, "What's so good about an obedient man? He's so boring when he just follows orders." As soon as she finished speaking, the zombie, as if agreeing with her, let out a roar of approval.
"You're the one with the least right to criticize me!" Nan Lan said with a sneer, glancing at her friend who was clinging to a particularly obedient zombie.
The zombie bared its teeth at her menacingly.
"Whether Nan Lan likes it or not is her own business. Let her have her way," Shen Wangshu said with a shrug and a smile.
