‘Little Sister’ is truly Brother Fu’s nemesis…
Anyone with eyes could see that Bai Qing Qing disliked Shen Mingxuan.
Shen Mingxuan’s face immediately darkened, his peach blossom eyes flashing with a cold light, his tense expression exceptionally ruthless, like that of one of the Ten Kings of Hell.
Bai Tian Tian bit her lip, wanting to serve Shen Mingxuan some food, but being naturally shy, she didn’t dare to be too proactive.
Several months had passed since the apocalypse. She and her sister Bai Qing Qing had been rescued by the Thunder Squad. It was because she had awakened her spatial abilities that the team members treated her differently.
Furthermore, her gentle nature and sincere kindness made her seem even more appealing compared to Bai Qing Qing’s constant reckless challenges to men’s boundaries. She could sense that the men in the team had a good impression of her.
She actually had a slight crush on Fu Chen, whose decisive and powerful style.
Ever since Bai Qing Qing lost her memory and began to cling to Fu Chen, she discovered that this cold and aloof man actually had a gentle side, treating Bai Qing Qing like a precious little sister, doting on and protecting her.
She felt a pang of loss and a touch of jealousy, but could only silently hide her feelings.
These past few days, she had also noticed a shift in everyone’s attitudes. Except for Shen Mingxuan, who always seemed to clash with Bai Qing Qing, no one else seemed to dislike her as much as before.
This was a good thing; she didn’t have to worry about her sister being abandoned again, but she still couldn’t help feeling a little heartbroken.
Before, she would feel pity and heartache even when she saw a blade of grass broken, but now she felt jealous and resentful. What had happened to her?
Bai Tian Tian was deeply troubled, consumed by self-doubt.
After Amei brought the last dish, everyone sat down to eat dinner together. Except for the cold-faced Shen Mingxuan, the atmosphere was harmonious.
After the apocalypse, everyone was busy escaping for supplies and rushing to safe zones to reunite with their families. There was hardly any time to sit down and enjoy a proper meal. Tonight’s late arrival, with its unique ethnic dishes, significantly boosted their happiness.
Amei’s ‘ruthless’ cooking was appetizing, and Bai Qing Qing ended up eating two bowls of it. At the end, she even covered her mouth and let out a small burp.
The others at the table looked over. She smiled shyly, her eyes crinkling with embarrassment. “I’m too full,” she said.
Xiao Yang glanced at the leftover food on the table and smiled. “So, Sister Qing Qing likes spicy food.”
Bai Qing Qing wasn’t very familiar with the others in the team, or even her half-sister, Bai Tian Tian, so they didn’t know her personal preferences.
Her eyes were bright, and she readily admitted, “I can’t live without spicy food.” She looked at the others. “What about you?”
“Me too, I like strong flavors,” Xiao Yang said with a smile.
Cheng Rui: “I’m fine with anything.”
He used to eat grass roots and leaves during field training; as long as the food wasn’t spoiled and was edible, he wasn’t picky.
“I personally prefer milder flavors, so I’d like to have soup,” Liang Zhiyu said with a smile. “I can also eat spicy food.”
Bai Tian Tian looked apologetic. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? If I had known you all liked spicy food, I should have added more chili when I cooked.”
Shen Mingxuan snorted coldly. “You should be grateful to have anything to eat. Why are you being so picky?”
Bai Qing Qing turned to Fu Chen beside her, staring at his handsome profile, and asked, “Brother, what about you?”
Fu Chen said calmly, “Why ask so many questions? Are you going to cook?”
Bai Qing Qing hesitated, lowering her eyelashes. “I’m not very good at cooking.” She then looked up at him with eyes full of bright joy. “Brother, what do you want to eat? I can learn to make it.”
These words were comforting. Fu Chen glanced at her. “If you can’t cook, then don’t. I don’t want to be poisoned by you.”
“…” Bai Qing Qing was caught off guard.
Her choked expression was so funny that everyone laughed, but they also saw through his intentions—he was basically saying he didn’t want his ‘little sister’ to cook.
…
After dinner, everyone helped clear the table and then dispersed to rest.
The girls shared a room, Awang was locked in the woodshed alone, and the other men shared a large communal bed. The conditions were simple, so this was the only arrangement.
They finished eating around eight o’clock. In her past life, she would have been lying on the sofa, eating snacks and watching TV at this time, unlike now, when she had nothing to do after dinner but go to sleep.
Bai Qing Qing tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about the side quests and the romance quests.
So far, only the cute and innocent Xiao Yang seemed easy to romance, and then there was the perpetually stern-faced Cheng Rui. Which one should she choose first?
“Qing Qing, you’re still not asleep?” Amei’s voice came.
Bai Qing Qing responded, “Did I disturb you?”
“No,” Amei’s voice was very soft.
“Me neither,” Bai Tian Tian’s voice was even softer.
Bai Qing Qing was speechless. Did these three need to be so quiet if they weren’t asleep? Get up and have some fun!
The past few days in Zhou Village had been incredibly eventful: the children who had unexpectedly disappeared, the strange customs of Zhou Village, and even the man-eating sacred tree.
The sins committed by the people of Zhou Village in the apocalypse were deep, but she wasn’t a judge in court. Even if she could stand on the moral high ground, she had no right to punish them.
After all, half of humanity had perished after the apocalypse.
Even after the old Clan Chief died, the men of Zhou Village remained unchanged, trampling on the women who bore their children.
The pitiful sight of Abao’s mother being brutally beaten during the day was deeply etched in her mind.
This was probably human nature.
Even though she herself struggled, she was filled with compassion for the pitiful and couldn’t bear to see others suffer.
Bai Qing Qing wasn’t a docile person; otherwise, she wouldn’t have accepted the system’s mission and dared to provoke several future big shots just to survive.
She neither liked nor disliked Bai Tian Tian, but she found her a bit too saintly. As long as it didn’t harm her, she didn’t care.
Bai Tian Tian, as the female lead, had a halo of intimacy; even protagonists, supporting characters, and passersby would have a strange sense of goodwill towards her, which could be manipulated.
“Bai Tian Tian.”
“Hmm?” Bai Tian Tian asked, puzzled.
Bai Qing Qing got up and leaned against the wall, saying, “I want to discuss something with you.”
“What is it? Tell me.” Bai Tian Tian felt needed and immediately perked up.
She was someone who couldn’t say no; it was hard to say whether it was a flaw or a strength. As long as the other party wasn’t too unreasonable, she would soften and agree to their requests.
Amei also looked at Bai Qing Qing curiously.
“Amei, you wanted to escape the village because you thought the rules were too outdated and inhumane, right?”
Amei sat up. “That’s right! My mother…” She gritted her teeth, her voice filled with resentment, “was beaten to death by my father.”
Bai Tian Tian exclaimed in shock, “How could this happen?”
In Zhou Village, it was common for men to beat women to death, or for women to hang themselves, jump into rivers, or drink poison because they couldn’t bear the torture. Women in Zhou Village were treated worse than animals.
Bai Qing Qing raised her hand, intending to pat Amei’s shoulder, but then lowered it.
“So, we’re going to do something big tomorrow.” She looked at Bai Tian Tian and said, “Weren’t you teaching the women of Zhou Village for the past few days? Let’s teach them too tomorrow.”
Bai Tian Tian asked, confused, “What kind of lesson? The same harmful stuff as last time?”
Bai Qing Qing pulled them both aside and said, “Listen to me…”
The two girls were shocked after hearing this and looked at her hesitantly, asking, “Are you sure it can work?”
Bai Qing Qing nodded and smiled, “Let’s do it.”
