Lu Qingyan looked up at him: "Do you know something?"
Pan Qingbai laughed and said, "What could I possibly know? I went there to bring Dr. Mo back right from the start of the apocalypse. How would I know anything about what's happening here? Come on, let's go to my house. I'll take you in."
As Pan Qingbai spoke, he gave Lu Qingyan a sweet feeling.
Lu Qingyan left, and Grandpa Zhu stayed in the room, sobbing uncontrollably. There were some things he simply dared not tell the child.
What should he say? Should he say that Xiao Ran's mother was scratched by a zombie, and that Xiao Ran's father became a zombie while trying to save her and eventually disappeared? Should he say that the Zhu family is no longer the same as it used to be? That there were so many people, but now only he, an old man, his eldest son Zhu Anbang's son Zhu Ming, and his second son's youngest daughter Zhu Ran remain?
He couldn't bring himself to say it; he just wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
Although Xiao Ran should have eventually learned these things, he simply couldn't bring himself to say them.
The Pan family used to live very close to the Zhu family, but they moved away when Lu Qingyan was a child, and now they live far apart.
When Lu Qingyan arrived at the Pan family's residence, she was taken aback, feeling that it was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
Unlike the Zhu family, where only Grandpa Zhu was present, Pan Qingbai's grandfather and parents were also there.
However, the Pan family was unlike the Zhu family; their family was small, consisting of only four people. Grandpa Pan was the first to recognize Lu Qingyan.
He teased Pan Qingbai, "Qingbai, why did you bring someone else's daughter to our house? Are you planning a wedding?"
"Grandpa." Pan Qingbai, afraid that Lu Qingyan would be embarrassed, stepped in front of her directly: "Grandpa, I just asked her to stay at our house temporarily."
“Qingbai,” a cold female voice rang out, “You know what the situation is like outside right now, so you’d better not bring those shady characters home.”
"Ahem, how can you talk like that?" Old Master Pan glared at him. "What's wrong with staying at our house for a while? I know that young lady."
Pan's mother didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Pan Qingbai's father was somewhat embarrassed: "Dad, I have to go take care of something first."
Grandpa Pan muttered from behind, "What's with all this talk about being busy? It's all just to protect that troublemaker."
Pan Qingbai listened without saying a word. He had been raised by his grandfather since he was a child and didn't have a deep relationship with his parents.
"How is Xiao Ran now?" Grandpa Pan asked with a smile. "Why did you come with Qingbai?"
"It's alright. I used to study there, so I ran into Brother Pan this time. Brother Pan recognized me and brought me here since I was alone."
Grandpa Pan nodded: "Yes, our two families are familiar with each other, and it's good that you're following Qingbai. However, Qingbai will be going on missions, so you—"
Zhu Ran was spoiled as a child. Whenever Grandpa Pan heard about this girl, eight out of ten times she was in trouble, and the other two times she was actually doing something heroic.
To be honest, Mr. Pan had never heard of any of her abilities.
Although he thought highly of the girl, he didn't want Qingbai to end up like his son, finding a woman who would only hold him back.
Lu Qingyan couldn't discern the old fox's intentions, but she still said, "I plan to go on missions with Brother Pan from now on. Although I'm not as good as Brother Pan now, I can handle those things without any problem. We've encountered several crises along the way, but we've overcome them all."
