Chapter 19. (1/2)

Ah, so the conquest is complete. …

In the desolate countryside, the cold moonlight illuminated the mountains and fields. Even though the road was visible, the post-apocalyptic environment was harsh, and many plants and animals were mutating. There was a fear of some monster suddenly appearing.

Fu Chen’s current identity was Bai Qing Qing’s brother, so it was most suitable for him to bring her back.

Fu Chen glanced at Xiao Yang, whose expression still held a hint of annoyance, and patted his shoulder: “This isn’t the right time for romance. We’ll talk about everything when we get back to Jingzhou.”

Xiao Yang’s heart skipped a beat, and a hint of guilt flashed across his face.

He simply had some feelings for Bai Qing Qing. After all, he hadn’t seen many girls since the apocalypse, and he had enjoyed spending time with her these past few days, which was why he couldn’t help but feel a little flutter in his heart.

The Jingzhou base was still thousands of kilometers away. Even before the apocalypse, when the roads were clear, it would take a full day and night to drive without sleep. According to Liang Zhiyu’s plan, it would probably take another month to successfully reach the furthest Jingzhou base.

A month is enough time for many things to happen; whether they’ll even reach the base alive is still uncertain.

Brother Fu is right. It’s best not to reveal your intentions before you have the ability to give someone a future.

“Brother Fu, I know,” he forced a smile.

Fu Chen hummed in agreement, arranged some things, and headed towards the place where Bai Qing Qing had left.

…

Bai Qing Qing munched on corn, cursing Shen Mingxuan as she went. Her plan to win over the cute younger man had only just begun, and he had already ruined most of it.

Xiao Yang, that innocent boy, was easy to win over. As long as she found common interests and topics with him, she could slowly win him over and successfully capture his heart.

Not only did he ruin her plan, but he also prevented her from eating much barbecue! Waaah!

That despicable dog of a man!

That scumbag!

Bai Qing Qing thought bitterly, biting down hard on the corn in her mouth as if it were Shen Mingxuan.

“System, can I see the progress of my pursuit of the target?”

[The system will only display two notifications: “Falling in love” and “Successfully conquered.” Currently, Xiao Yang is the target of your affections. Please continue your efforts.]

Ah, so you’ve already conquered him.

Bai Qing Qing smiled. To survive, she had to work even harder. Thinking calmly, Shen Mingxuan’s actions tonight were actually a helpful move, breaking through Xiao Yang’s hazy feelings.

Perhaps she could take another approach, such as slowly distancing herself from Xiao Yang after tonight, while simultaneously portraying a pitiful, innocent girl who had no choice but to stay away.

Xiao Yang, already falling for her, would find his feelings even more etched in his heart as he tried to hold onto her aloofness.

The mission had finally yielded some results, and she couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Standing by the river, gazing at the shimmering water under the moonlight, she couldn’t help but let out a strange, mocking laugh, like a villain from the Magic Fairy Castle.

“What are you laughing at?” A clear, pleasant male voice sounded in her ear.

Bai Qing Qing’s laughter caught in her throat, abruptly stopping as she felt a suffocating sense of social death.

“Cough cough cough…” She coughed violently, her eyes slightly red and embarrassed as she looked at the person who had entered.

An atmosphere of awkwardness enveloped her.

The handsome man in the black windbreaker raised an eyebrow and said, “Little sister, are you crazy?”

Bai Qing Qing coughed incessantly, her face flushed, and gritted her teeth, “I’m not crazy! I’m not crazy!”

Fu Chen walked over, took out a tissue, and wiped the corn crumbs from her mouth. He said, “I thought you were upset by Shen Mingxuan and came here to throw a tantrum.”

Bai Qing Qing grabbed his hand, looking at him with a pitiful expression. “Brother, even if I did something wrong before, I know I was wrong. Shen Mingxuan has been targeting me. Please scold him for me.”

She was just venting; she didn’t expect Fu Chen, who valued his teammates so much, to stand up for her.

To her surprise, the man replied calmly, “Okay.”

“Huh?” Bai Qing Qing was stunned, her watery eyes widening in surprise as she looked at him cautiously, asking, “Really?”

Fu Chen looked at her with his dark eyes and said, “I said okay.”

“Let’s forget it then.” Bai Qing Qing feigned understanding, lowering her eyelashes and speaking in a soft, sweet voice, “I don’t want to put you in a difficult position, brother. I’ll try to stay away from him from now on.”

Fu Chen looked at her obedient and adorable appearance, like a kitten yearning for its owner’s comfort. He couldn’t help but ruffle her hair, his voice slightly magnetic, “So obedient? Hmm?”

Bai Qing Qing tilted her head back, raising her fair and delicate face, a faint smile on her face, “I’m your sister, of course I have to be obedient.”

“Then who was it that ran away at night?” Fu Chen’s gaze was deep and intense, exuding a strong sense of pressure.

Bai Qing Qing couldn’t help but shrink back, retorting softly, “I didn’t run away.”

The riverbank was only a few dozen meters from the campsite, and the modified car could be seen in the distance, just a few minutes’ walk away.

Fu Chen’s hand, which had been on her head, moved downwards, slowly yet with an intensely aggressive force. His large hand swept down from the back of her head, gripping her slender, graceful neck and pulling her closer.

His deep, handsome eyes were fixed on hers, his voice low and menacing: “Didn’t I tell you before that you would listen to your brother and never run away?”

Bai Qing Qing felt a chill run down her spine under his beast-like gaze, a chill running down her spine.

Her face paled with fear, tears welling in her clear, bright eyes, threatening to spill over. She wanted to speak, but then pursed her lips, her appearance utterly pitiful.

The bright, pale moonlight fell on the girl’s pale face, making her skin appear as white as porcelain. Coupled with her pitiful, terrified gaze, she looked at him with a mixture of grievance and fear, trembling like a small animal.

Fu Chen’s gaze deepened as he gripped her delicate neck, asking, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Bai Qing Qing turned her head away, a soft whimper escaping her nose, as if she were throwing a tantrum.

Stubborn and aggrieved, she was impossible to deal with.

Fu Chen wasn’t easily swayed. If he didn’t keep her under control, she would only become increasingly unruly and unrestrained.

Although he didn’t have a sister, he knew that while sisters were meant to be pampered, they also needed proper discipline. Otherwise, how could he guarantee her safety in the future?

Girls shouldn’t act out of spite and run away; if they encountered danger, no one would be able to save them in time.

“Brother,” Bai Qing Qing’s voice trembled with a sob, soft and pitiful, “You hurt me.”

Fu Chen’s large hand suddenly loosened, releasing her fair neck.

Bai Qing Qing breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing her neck. Her thoughts raced. She lowered her head, brushed aside her black hair, and turned her back to him. “Can you check if it’s red?” He was really strong; if he used any more force, she suspected he might snap her neck.

Fu Chen lowered his eyes, looking at her reddened neck, and said, “So delicate.”

“Hey,” Bai Qing Qing retorted angrily, “You used too much force! Isn’t it red? Isn’t it?”

Fu Chen suddenly felt a pang of guilt at her outburst. He had indeed used a little too much force, never expecting her skin to be so delicate, turning bright red so easily.

He remained silent, staring at her fair neck, and said in a deep voice, “My fault.”

“Bad brother,” Bai Qing Qing snorted twice, taking out some ointment from her spatial storage, and said, “Can you put some ointment on it for me, otherwise it’ll definitely swell up tomorrow.”

Fu Chen felt apologetic, took the ointment, twisted open the cap, and squeezed some out. He, who was usually very adept at applying medicine to himself, found himself somewhat at a loss when faced with the girl’s slender neck.

He moved clumsily, applying the ointment to her as carefully as if handling crystal.

“Hiss~” Bai Qing Qing made a sound.

Fu Chen immediately stopped, asking, “Does it hurt?”

“No,” Bai Qing Qing clenched her hands, saying, “The ointment is a little cold.”

The ointment was quite strong; it felt icy cold after application, bringing a slight sting.

Fu Chen finished applying the ointment, watching her tie her hair up with a hair tie, revealing her swan-like neck, and frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: his ‘sister’ was far more attractive than the pretty Bai Tian Tian.

Bai Qing Qing finished tying her hair up and saw Fu Chen staring at her with a dark expression, a pure and bewildered look on her face.

“What’s wrong? Is something wrong?”

“Nothing.” Fu Chen led her back to their campsite.

Back at the picnic table, Bai Qing Qing looked at it with disappointment, inwardly lamenting, “My barbecue! That bastard didn’t leave me a single bite!”

“Go sit down,” Fu Chen said.

Bai Qing Qing pulled out a chair, asking, “What?”

Fu Chen returned to the car, carrying two plates. The aroma of barbecue filled the air.

Bai Qing Qing’s eyes immediately lit up. “Brother, you saved some barbecue for me!”

“Eat,” Fu Chen said, sitting down beside her.

Before going to find someone, he had thought of her greedy expression and asked Liang Zhiyu to keep some of the barbecue warm.

Bai Qing Qing ate heartily, while Fu Chen watched her with a calm gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips.

A moment later, Bai Qing Qing patted her stomach, a satisfied look on her face, and sincerely praised, “Brother, you’re so good.”

“A good brother is one who provides food?” Fu Chen said casually.

Bai Qing Qing replied matter-of-factly, “Yes.”

Fu Chen, seeing her carefree attitude, was annoyed. “Pack your things, go take a shower and go to bed.”

“Okay.” Bai Qing Qing put her outdoor gear back into her spatial storage.

The next morning, after waking up, she stretched and went down to the living room. She found Liang Zhiyu making breakfast in the kitchen and went over to ask, “Dr. Liang, what are you making for breakfast?”

“Noodles,” Liang Zhiyu smiled.

Bai Qing Qing sniffed and said, “It smells so good.”

Liang Zhiyu: “The soup isn’t ready yet, we’ll have to wait.”

Bai Qing Qing turned to wash up, walked through the living room, opened the car door, and got out. She was surprised to see Cheng Rui doing push-ups shirtless.

The man’s strong physique was powerful and muscular, with a six-pack and beautifully defined back—the kind of physique that would make any woman blush and her heart race to the point of screaming.

Bai Qing Qing glanced at him once and then looked away, no longer staring.

Cheng Rui was the cold, handsome type. A former special forces soldier, he exuded masculinity. Men like him were often rigid and aloof, with two main approaches: either be alluringly cold and flirtatious, constantly testing his limits until his self-control crumbled.

The other approach was to use a delicate and charming girl, a clash of softness and hardness, to forcefully control her and satisfy his protective instincts.

The original owner had tried to flirt with Cheng Rui before, and no matter how sexy she dressed, he saw her as a vulgar woman. She couldn’t repeat that mistake.
