Chapter 18 Men always say one thing and mean another.



Bai Qingqing immediately stood up, left Xiao Yang and went downstairs. Fu Chen stood in front of the stairs and stretched out his hand to her to help her jump down.

"Brother, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Fu Chen pulled her to the first floor: "We need to stop the car and rest later."

Bai Qingqing let him pull her downstairs.

It is still half the distance to the nearest town, and it is estimated that we can reach it by tomorrow afternoon. The modified car stopped on the roadside near a small river.

Dinner wasn't ready yet, so Bai Qingqing suggested having a barbecue. The team had been eating ordinary meals since the end of the world, and they hadn't seen barbecue for at least half a year, so they had even forgotten what it tasted like.

Bai Qingqing took out outdoor tools, a picnic stove, a table and chairs, a grill, a bucket of purified water, and various frozen foods and vegetables.

“…”

Everyone saw her taking out so many fancy things and couldn't help but look at Fu Chen. The captain took his baby sister to stock up on food, so how many strange supplies did he collect?

Fu Chen was also very curious about when she collected so many outdoor supplies.

Bai Qingqing took things from the space and said, "Brother, I took these things because I thought they were useful. You won't blame me, right?"

No one could blame her, they just didn't expect her to think so highly of herself. Usually they left the matter of stockpiling food to Bai Tiantian, and the most stockpiled items were food and some common daily necessities.

No one would think of collecting outdoor equipment. Even if they did, they wouldn't dare live outside for fear of being bitten by a zombie that suddenly attacked.

Fu Chen looked deeply at the outdoor supplies that Bai Qingqing took out one by one. The environment in the end times would only become more and more harsh. Without clean water, food became even more scarce. Even hard, expired food would be snatched up by people.

As humans faced extinction, scientists developed a nutrient solution to sustain life. However, that solution tasted terrible and did not fill the stomach.

These people are scattered all over the place. As the lords or high-ranking officials of the base, their lives are much better than those of ordinary people, but they do not enjoy the same life as before the apocalypse. Occasionally, they also replenish their energy through nutrient solution.

I never even imagined a life like sitting down to rest and eating barbecue.

Because he has the responsibility to do his best to give mankind a bright future and prevent it from being destroyed by the end of the world.

Bai Qingqing looked at the things on the ground and smiled at everyone, "Want to have a barbecue?"

Bai Tiantian looked timidly at the other people in the team. She and her sister had little fighting ability and had to rely on the men in the team for everything, so many things could only be done after they gave orders.

We don't know if there are zombies in the wilderness. Are you sure you want to hold a barbecue here?

During the days they were in Zhoucun, in addition to working, they also had to find a way out of the predicament. They were so tense that they had not had a good rest. When they heard Bai Qingqing's suggestion, they had no objection.

Liang Zhiyu pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, rolled up his sleeves gracefully, and said, "I'll be the chef."

Bai Qingqing took the initiative to ask for help: "I'll help you."

The others also divided up the work of washing and cutting vegetables, but Master Fu Chen sat on the chair without moving. He was the crown prince of the Jingzhou base and had never worked since he was born, so he could only sit and wait for the food to be cooked.

Liang Zhiyu skillfully grilled the chicken wings and ham, while Bai Qingqing stood beside him, occasionally helping to turn them over.

"Dr. Liang," she praised sincerely, "You are amazing. It seems that there is nothing you don't know."

Liang Zhiyu smiled faintly: "Yes."

"What?" Bai Qingqing looked at him curiously.

The girl's bright and beautiful big eyes are full of curiosity, making people want to tease her.

Liang Zhiyu hesitated for a moment, then uttered two words: "Guess."

“……”Guess your number.

Bai Qingqing suppressed her displeasure at being teased, blinked her eyes, and smiled faintly: "Guess whether I guess or not."

Liang Zhiyu looked very pleased, "Forget it if you don't want to guess."

Xiao Yang, who came over with two corns, asked in confusion, "Guess what?"

The two looked at him and said together, "Nothing."

Xiao Yang felt even more depressed. He squeezed in between Liang Zhiyu and Bai Qingqing and said, "The vegetables have been washed and cut. I'll help you."

The grill was not wide, so Bai Qingqing was squeezed to the side. Xiao Yang handed her a corn, "Qingqing, this is for you. What else do you like to eat? I'll get it for you."

"Thank you." Bai Qingqing smiled embarrassedly: "No need to get it."

Xiao Yang was brushing oil on the corn, holding a small brush and asked her: "Do you want to brush it yourself, or should I help you?"

"Let me do it myself." Bai Qingqing took the brush.

Liang Zhiyu looked at Xiao Yang trying to please the girl, his foxy eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile at the corner of his lips faded a little.

Bai Qingqing was carefully turning over the chicken wings, ham, chicken cartilage, beef... and other things on the grill. While waiting, she raised her eyes and glanced over at the table, and met a pair of cold eyes.

Fu Chen sat lazily on the chair, his expression as cold as ice, his deep eyes staring at her without blinking, dark and unclear.

Bai Qingqing was startled and quickly gave a pure smile, thinking to herself, I hope Fu Chen won't see anything.

Fu Chen is the strongest and most difficult man among these people, with an unpredictable temperament. If he finds out that I am lying to him, I will definitely die a miserable death.

My life is at stake, and I must maintain my sister’s character well.

Bai Qingqing withdrew her gaze, picked up the roasted chicken wings, and walked quickly towards Fu Chen.

"Brother, I baked this." She bent slightly and showed a soft and charming smile: "Try it."

Fu Chen looked at the girl in front of him with a bright smile, with a cold face, saying one thing and thinking another: "I don't eat chicken wings."

"Ah." Bai Qingqing was quite surprised, holding the chicken wings and not giving up, "Brother, this is honey chicken wings, very delicious, just have a bite."

Fu Chen looked at her begging expression and accepted it with reluctance: "Give it to me."

Bai Qingqing gave him the chicken wings, sat down on the chair next to him, picked up the water cup next to him and took a sip.

Fu Chen looked over and stared at her closely.

Bai Qingqing licked her lower lip unconsciously, not knowing what was going on: "Is there something on my face?"

"That glass of water is mine." Fu Chen said lightly.

Bai Qingqing: “…”

She really didn't take the wrong one on purpose. She saw that the water looked untouched and she took it to drink because she was thirsty.

Bai Qingqing's eyes flickered slightly, and she said domineeringly yet cutely: "It's mine now."

Fu Chen didn't say anything and finished his chicken wings in a few bites. The girl next to him immediately handed him a new glass of water, and he took a sip.

Bai Qingqing looked at him eagerly: "Brother, how does it taste?"

"It's okay." said Fu Chen.

Bai Qingqing looked shocked: "No way, I roasted it for a long time, you should at least give me some compliments."

A quick smile flashed across Fu Chen's eyes, and he pursed his lips and said, "Not bad."

Bai Qingqing: “…” She was frugal with her words.

"Qingqing." Xiao Yang called over here, "Your corn is almost ready, come over and take a look."

"Oh, here I come." Bai Qingqing ran over immediately.

Shen Mingxuan and Bai Tiantian also brought the baked food and placed it on the table, while looking at Bai Qingqing who was having a great conversation with Xiao Yang.

Bai Tiantian didn't know why, but blurted out: "Xiao Yang seems to like my sister very much."

Shen Mingxuan, Cheng Rui and Fu Chen all looked over and stared at the grinning and silly Xiao Yang. He was just like a little puppy, constantly trying to please the girl he liked.

"Brother Fu, you have to keep an eye on that woman and don't be fooled by her." Shen Mingxuan sneered. He didn't like the gorgeous and pretty Bai Qingqing anyway. He intuitively felt that Bai Qingqing was lying because she had lost her memory.

Cheng Rui's handsome and cold features were expressionless as he stared at the boy and girl over there, wondering in his heart, could it be that Bai Qingqing really likes a big boy like Xiao Yang?

Bai Tiantian looked at Fu Chen and said, "Captain, what do you think?"

Fu Chen pursed his lips and some doubts flashed through his mind. If Xiao Yang really liked Bai Qingqing, wouldn't that mean that he was no longer affected by Bai Tiantian's magnetic field?

Bai Qingqing and Xiao Yang are old enough to fall in love.

If the two of them like each other, he has no reason to stop them, and it may even be a good thing for him.

Fu Chen said coldly: "It's useless if Xiao Yang likes it. It depends on Bai Qingqing's opinion."

The man was as indifferent as ever, and his emotions did not fluctuate even when it came to his 'sister'.

Bai Tiantian bit her lip and ignored the strange emotion that flashed through her mind.

The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food. Everyone sat around the table and started eating. Xiao Yang spoke to Bai Qingqing from time to time and put the food she liked in front of her.

"Xiao Yang." Shen Mingxuan suddenly asked, "Do you like Bai Qingqing?"

Xiao Yang looked at Bai Qingqing's face first, then turned away guiltily, his cheeks slightly red, and stammered: "Brother Mingxuan, what nonsense are you talking about!"

He looked at Bai Qingqing who was looking surprised, and said angrily, "Brother Mingxuan, please stop joking around. It will cause trouble to Sister Qingqing."

The others looked at him silently, their eyes moving back and forth between him and Bai Qingqing.

Bai Qingqing bit into the corn and muttered, "You must have misunderstood me. You are all so much older than me. I am a little afraid to talk to you."

She lowered her eyelashes and whispered, "Xiao Yang and I are about the same age, so we get along well."

“……”Several men were accidentally injured.

Apart from the younger Xiao Yang, Cheng Rui and Liang Zhiyu are the oldest, followed by Fu Chen and Shen Mingxuan, all of whom are a few years older than her.

Bai Qingqing sat with her head down for a few seconds, then turned around and left with the corn.

"Qingqing, where are you going?" Bai Tiantian asked anxiously.

"I'm going for a walk by the river." Bai Qingqing said without even turning back.

Bai Tiantian looked worried: "She walked so far away, nothing will happen to her, right?"

Shen Mingxuan had a cold face and a chilly tone: "There are no zombies around here, if she wants to die, it's up to her."

"Shen Mingxuan!" Xiao Yang glared at him, "Sister Qingqing has lost her memory. The past is the past. Don't always be prejudiced against her."

Shen Mingxuan looked at him coldly, "Do you really like her?"

"What's it got to do with you?" Xiao Yang suppressed his anger and said, "Qingqing doesn't take you seriously, so you always pick on her, right?!"

Shen Mingxuan was enraged. How could he care about that kind of woman? He liked a warm and kind girl like Bai Tiantian.

He grabbed Xiao Yang by the collar, his face clouded with gloom: "I advise you to think before you speak!"

Just as Xiao Yang was about to fight back, Liang Zhiyu's cold voice came over: "You two grown men are arguing over a trivial matter. What kind of situation are you in? Don't you see the current situation?"

Shen Mingxuan let go of his hand, glanced at Xiao Yang with disdain, and left.

Xiao Yang sat down angrily, looking very unhappy. He looked at Fu Chen and said, "Brother Fu, go find Qingqing. I'm afraid she's in danger."
