Although Bai Chen couldn't see the road ahead clearly, he knew it was heading to the capital. After a moment's silence, he said, "There's a service area about fifteen kilometers ahead. We'll get off there."
Mu Cheng still responded calmly, "Okay."
"Thank you!" After thanking again, Bai Chen stopped talking.
Mu Cheng didn't say anything and was concentrating on driving. Although she could see the road ahead clearly, in order to avoid arousing doubts from Bai Chen and his sister, she drove very slowly. Moreover, if she drove too fast, they would not have a chance to chat and would have gotten out of the car, which would have been a huge loss.
Just as she was thinking about how to strike up a conversation with the siblings, Bai Xu spoke first, "The air conditioner is on in the car. Aren't you worried about wasting gas? The service area down below is out of gas."
Mu Cheng smiled and replied, "I turned on the heater, it doesn't consume much fuel."
"Oh!" Bai Xu responded with a smile, tilting his head to observe Mu Cheng. After a while, he said, "My name is Bai Xu, and this is my brother Bai Chen."
Mu Cheng glanced at the two of them through the rearview mirror and nodded at them, "I'm Mu Cheng."
"Mu Cheng, what a nice name." Bai Xu said with a smile, then stood up and walked to the front, holding the passenger seat with both hands. He looked at Mu Cheng with a smile and asked, "Mu Cheng, are you two the only ones in the car? Is that guy lying there your boyfriend? He's so handsome."
"That's my teammate and my eldest brother's friend." Why not just say he is her second brother?
Maybe they don’t want people to be surprised that they are brother and sister!
As for why.
Who knows?
"I see." Bai Xu nodded, thought for a moment and then asked, "Is he sick? He didn't get up even though we were so noisy."
Mu Cheng replied, "Yeah! But he's fine now. He should wake up in the next few days."
"Oh!" Bai Xu nodded with a smile, and after a moment, he asked curiously, "We should have met half a month ago. That morning, you got off the car and talked to a man, but you looked a little different than before."
Because of practicing "Heart Knot", the aura around her changed, and her body became lighter than before, so naturally she looked a little different from before.
"Yes! I have." Mu Cheng deliberately ignored Bai Xu's words that she had changed, grinned at her, and continued, "At that time, I thought you and your siblings were different from the people around you, and I looked at you a few more times."
Bai Xu asked with a smile, "Haha! You're still here now. Could it be that you've been in this service area for the past half month?"
"Yes! My second brother is sick, and I'm worried that traveling too fast might harm him, so I've been staying at the service area. His condition stabilized today, so I planned to leave. But as soon as I left, I saw you being chased by a group of zombies. But shouldn't you be going to the capital base? Why are you here?"
"Don't mention it..." Bai Xu looked depressed. She pulled the back of the chair over and sat on the passenger seat, then chattered about the cause and effect of the matter. Bai Chen, who was behind her, tried to stop her several times but failed to make the girl shut up.
It turns out that before the apocalypse, Bai Xu was a freshman in the capital. After the start of this semester, she was pestered by a sophomore named Jiang Hanyi, who insisted on forcing her to be his girlfriend.
That day, Jiang Hanyi brought a dozen people to surround Bai Xu and forced her to agree to be his girlfriend. If she didn't agree, she would not be allowed to leave. Bai Xu was unwilling to agree, but she couldn't afford to offend Jiang Hanyi because everyone knew that Jiang Hanyi's father was in the army. But no matter what she said, Jiang Hanyi would not let her leave, forcing her to squat on the ground and cry.
