Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 157 The mystery is solved
When Xi Yu returned home for dinner, he saw his sister holding a brand new pink thermos cup in her hand. She would lower her head from time to time to smell it, then smell it again, then raise it to take a small sip, then narrow her eyes and purse her lips in satisfaction.

He looked puzzled and asked, "What's in it?"

"milk tea."

"What the hell?"

Xi Shuang brought the cup to her brother and showed it to him. "It's milk tea, made by my sister-in-law. Do you want to smell it?"

A sweet and greasy milky smell came over him, and Xi Yu subconsciously tilted his head to the side, thinking, where is the fragrance? How can I drink it?

But of course he wouldn't say this out loud, otherwise his sister might ignore him for three days.

Xi Yu did not answer his sister's question, but asked calmly, "So this was sent to you by your sister-in-law?"

Xi Shuang shook her head, "Bai Yang sent it."

poplar?

He raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at his sister's expression, and found that her expression was almost the same as before when she talked about Bai Yang, with not much change.

Or rather, I haven’t even mentioned the surprise when it comes to milk tea.

Oh, I'm overthinking it again.

"Did you thank them for going all this way to bring you milk tea? Oh, and this cup, was it also given to you by Bai Yang?"

This time Xi Yu did not mention his sister-in-law, but focused on the word "Poplar".

Alas, is it as difficult to be a brother as he is?

If someone has a beautiful sister, they will definitely be on guard against thieves.

他在妹妹高中的时候也这样，那时候怕她早恋，影响学习，所以即便体校距离高中隔着半个城，也每天亲自到学校去接她。但凡有男生给她写情书，只要他知道就会把对方揍一顿。

He took precautions like this for three years. When his sister was successfully admitted to university, he went to join the army with peace of mind. When they met again two years later, he thought that his cabbage had been eaten by a pig. However, the pig was there, but it failed to eat it.

Even the familiar pig that grew up with my sister as a childhood sweetheart returned empty-handed.

Finally, Xi Yu observed from many angles and finally figured out something. This introverted Jade Cabbage of his just didn't get the hang of it!
In other words, she has not met anyone who makes her heart move, so she doesn't know what love is.

Alas, as a brother who is both a father and a mother, I have to worry when my sister is in love, and I also have to worry when she is not in love. It’s so difficult!

Now that it is the end of the world, although he has given up the plan of letting his sister get married, if possible, doesn't he want her to be happy!
Just like the captain and sister-in-law.

Although he didn't know Bai Yang well, he believed in his sister-in-law. He was her brother, so he shouldn't be a bad person.

What's more, Xi Yu couldn't help but think more about whether his sister-in-law had a crush on his sister?
Otherwise, errands like delivering milk tea could be done by Qiqi, so why let Baiyang make the trip?

As for why Bai Yang didn't fall in love with Xi Shuang, Xi Yu thought with some contempt. Although the boy was in his early twenties, he didn't seem to be smart.

Because when they first met, Bai Yang's eyes stayed on him longer than on Xi Shuang.

Well, it looks like he’ll have to beat him for ten more minutes during tomorrow’s training.

Xi Yu was imagining a lot here, but Xi Shuang didn't know it at all. Facing her brother's question, she replied with a puzzled look, "No, Bai Yang said that this cup was given to me by my sister-in-law. She has a lot of them. If I want a different color, I can go and choose one. Brother, you are so weird. My sister-in-law made the milk tea and gave me the cup. Why should I thank Bai Yang if I don't thank my sister-in-law? He just stopped by and didn't give it to me specially."

Xi Yu choked and felt tired.

Two idiots!
Forget it, let it be whatever it is, I don’t care.

However, Xi Shuang then said with envy, "Bai Yang said that he will go out with his sister-in-law tomorrow. While the weather is not too cold, they will drive the RV to Huacheng for a tour. If possible, they will also go to Longbei Mountain east of Huacheng to take a look."

Xi Yu looked at his sister's face full of longing, and something moved him, so he asked, "Want to go?"

My sister's personality changed after her parents passed away. He was almost an adult at that time, but he was still a troublemaker. Those so-called relatives were not willing to give up after hitting a snag with him, and turned around and took out their anger on my sister, saying unpleasant words one after another.

How could a thirteen-year-old girl who had never experienced darkness endure all this? Gradually, she became taciturn and didn't like to contact people except him. In today's words, she suffered from social phobia.

So if she wants, it would be nice to go out with her sister-in-law.

What's more, Xi Shuang has the same special ability in hearing as him. When she goes out with her sister-in-law, she can at least serve as a warning.

But Xi Shuang shook her head decisively, "Forget it."

She doesn't want to communicate with people.

"How about this, after dinner, I'll go ask my sister-in-law if she needs you, then you can go?" Xi Yu pretended to be worried, "Although my sister-in-law's wood ability is very powerful, there are all kinds of people out there, and some unknown dangers are impossible to predict. But if you hear about it in advance, you can probably avoid it, or be prepared to give others a head-on blow. It's better than being attacked suddenly, right? What do you think? My sister-in-law is so good to you, you don't want her to be in danger, right?"

Xi Shuang looked at her brother and opened her mouth, but could no longer say no.

Finally, I could only say, "Then go and ask. If my sister-in-law needs me, then I'll go."

It's very difficult.

Xi Yu ignored the little excitement on his sister's face, suppressed his smile and nodded.

After dinner, I just came out of the house and saw the captain walking out along the road of Yunxi Village. Qiao Fei followed him, and both of them had very serious expressions.

He pricked up his ears and listened. Today, the Zhou Lei brothers were on duty at the gate, and the one talking to them was Wei Lichuan.

They were all from the same system, so even if they had never dealt with each other, they would know each other. Moreover, after coming here, Wei Lichuan had come to see the captain many times, and he was already familiar with his voice.

But when I came here today, it seemed like this guy was up to no good.

But Xi Yu had no intention of eavesdropping. There was no need to do so with the captain present.

In the Bai family villa, Bai Li was asking Bai Yang, "I asked you to bring milk tea to Xi Shuang this afternoon. Did you ask her if she liked the cup?"

Bai Yang wanted to roll his eyes at his sister. It was good enough to have a thermos cup now, but he was still picky?

But he actually brought this up, but his way of saying it was different from what his sister said.

After all, last time that girl bluntly said that she liked to eat durian and he liked it, the question was who gave it to her?

He didn't think Xi Shuang did it on purpose. As a socially anxious person, it was good enough for her to answer questions normally. She would never play tricks on others.

But precisely because she is honest, she is no longer given the opportunity to choose.

Because it is possible that you cannot give her what she said.

Bai Yang said perfunctorily, "I like it. I like it very much."

Bai Li slapped him on the back of his head and said, "Speak properly."

Bai Yang was not happy with it. He glared at me and said, "Why didn't I speak properly? She really likes it. Oh, she likes milk tea even more. Her eyes light up when she smells it."

I don't know what the taste of these people is. They treat such unpalatable food like a treasure.

"Then go give her a can of milk powder, a packet of tea leaves, and a packet of sugar later."

He had no objection to sending gifts, but just as he was about to accept it, he saw Xi Yu push open the door and walk in.

Well, he doesn't need to run away. "Sister-in-law, I want to ask, who are you going to take to Huacheng tomorrow?"

"There aren't many people, just me and Cheng Siyun, with three kids, plus Bai Yang, oh, and Xiao Wu and Feng Bao."

A dog and a bird, too.

Xi Yu twitched his lips, thinking that there was no need to explain this to him specifically.

Bai Li saw what Xi Yu was here for, so she asked directly, "Do you want Xi Shuang to go out with us?"

"May I?"

Xi Yu said earnestly, "Although Xiaoshuang is introverted and not good at communication, she is very capable of taking care of herself and has a good physique. You know, I always take her with me during morning training. She will definitely not be a drag when she goes out with you."

"I believe that."

Xi Shuang has the ability of hearing. Although she suffers from social phobia, she is emotionally stable and courageous. It is indeed a great help to have her along.

Bai Li nodded readily, "Then it's settled. When you go back, ask her to prepare a backpack and bring some of her necessities. Don't worry about the food, we will take care of it."

The temperature has been relatively stable in the past two days, basically hovering between -5 degrees Celsius and 78 degrees Celsius. Both the temperature and the current season are winter in the past. As we all know, the countryside is not busy in winter.

Of course, the greenhouse area is excluded.

But whether it is Baiguoyuan or Yunxi Village, everyone’s grain reserves seem to be sufficient at the moment, so no one is planning to grow greenhouses.

In this situation, there is nothing to do except picking firewood and preparing for the winter.

Bai Li thought, since they were free anyway, they might as well take the kids out for a walk while the weather was stable, so that they could see the world and see how the survivors outside lived.

Originally Jiang Minglang wanted to go along, but Cheng Siyun rejected him. It was because he didn't want to go out and eat dog food.

Besides, if Jiang Minglang followed them, what was the point of their exercise?
How is this different from staying at home?
Bai Li thought it made sense, so she finally decided that Jiang Minglang would stay and Bai Yang would follow.

The goal was achieved, Xi Yu went back to inform his sister to make preparations.

But when I was leaving the door, I met the deputy captain, Sister Cheng, and Xiao Youyou who were coming back from a walk after dinner.

Youyou stood between the two of them, holding Cheng Siyun with her right hand and her father with her left hand. No matter how you looked at them, they looked like a family of three.

This was not the first time they had seen the three of them walking like this. Of course, not only their walking, but also the way the deputy captain spoke to Sister Cheng made them feel that it was gentler than when he spoke to his ex-sister-in-law.

Xi Yu felt, no, all of them felt, that the relationship between the deputy captain and Sister Cheng might just be about to break through the window paper.

It's a pity that the deputy captain is not up to the task and has been slow to express his feelings.

"Deputy Captain, Sister Cheng."

Xi Yu greeted the two of them, and raised his hand to touch Youyou's little head. The little girl didn't dodge or evade, and even smiled sweetly at Xi Yu.

This would have been impossible two months ago.

Cheng Siyun brought Youyou into the house, while Xi Yu and Xu Bo stood outside talking.

"Deputy Captain, Sister Cheng is a good person."

Xu Bo glanced at him and snorted, "Do I need your nonsense?"

"Then why are you still wasting time? If you had gotten her earlier, Youyou would have had a mother sooner." The two of them got along so well, just like real mother and daughter.

After being divorced for many years, Xu Bo no longer has any feelings for his ex-wife. Now that he has met someone he likes and is suitable for him, doesn't he want to marry her and have his own family?

It's just that people are not happy about it.

Of course, Cheng Siyun didn't tell him explicitly, but from her attitude towards him, he could feel that she probably wasn't interested in him.

This made it impossible for him to express his feelings. Being rejected was not a big deal, but the key was that he was afraid that she would be embarrassed when they met next time.

And there is his daughter Youyou. The two of them get along so naturally and happily, and he doesn't want to affect his daughter because of him.

Of course the most important thing is that I don’t want to compromise.

His first marriage was arranged by his family. Youyou's mother was the daughter of a friend of his mother. The two families knew each other well. Although he was not attracted to her, he did not dislike her. In addition, he was young at the time, so he listened to his parents and got married early.

Who would have thought that life after marriage would be such a mess.

When he got divorced, he thought that if he got married again, he and his partner must love each other and be together forever.

We can't be so muddle-headed anymore.

But the current situation is that he likes the other person, but the other person is not happy with him.

Xu Bo felt that although both of them had failed marriages before, Cheng Siyun was hurt more in her marriage than he was. It cannot be said that she had lost faith in men, but only that she had no interest in remarriage.

Alas, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

If her ex-husband were still alive, if he met him one day, he would definitely beat him to death.

Before going to bed that night, when Cheng Siyun was reading a bedtime story to Youyou, the little girl actually started talking -
"In the water, Auntie, you saved me in the water."

Today's story is about the little mermaid saving a prince in the sea. Youyou pointed to the blue sea in the picture book and said clearly, "Before, I was swept away by the waves at the beach, and my aunt saved me."

Many people wondered why Youyou stuck to Cheng Siyun as soon as she arrived here. Even Cheng Siyun herself was puzzled. After all, the red mole on her face was so obvious that it was good enough that she didn't scare the children to tears. Why would someone stick to her specifically?

It’s really puzzling.

Now, this mystery that has puzzled everyone for a long time has finally been solved.

Two years ago, Cheng Siyun went traveling to the beach alone and accidentally saved a little girl who was swept away by the waves. As a result, her leg was scratched by the reef.

She had long forgotten what the little girl looked like, but she remembered that when the mother came hurriedly to pick her up, she didn't even look at her savior, let alone say thank you to her.

She took the child and left without saying a word.

Cheng Siyun was almost mad to death.

Later, I complained to Bai Li and swore that if I encountered such a thing again, I would never meddle in other people’s business.

But both of them knew in their hearts that if it happened again, she might still save the child. After all, it was the adults who had no manners, and the child was so innocent.
But I just felt very upset at that time.

But Cheng Siyun would never have thought that the child she saved was actually Youyou!
This is truly fate.

The mole on her face was also clearly remembered by Youyou, so she recognized her as soon as they met.

When he told everyone about it the next day, everyone was surprised, except Xu Bo, who remained silent.

Youyou was swept away by the waves and was on the verge of life and death, but he didn't know about it until now.

I am too tired to complain, but as a biological father, he has undoubtedly failed in his duty.

Come earlier today.
