Chapter 328 - Apocalypse Sisters
Chapter 329 of "Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life" starts with dramatic events: "What a little troublemaker." Ye Qiu muttered as she looked at the little boy curled... Discover what happens!
"What a little troublemaker." Ye Qiu muttered as she looked at the little boy curled up beside the fire without speaking.
Raising a child in the apocalypse undoubtedly added much difficulty to survival, but thinking of the boyâs fatherâs resolute gaze before his death, they couldnât bear to abandon him. Even though the Zombie Rats were lured by them, the childâs father had laid down his life to eliminate that swarm of rats, paving a way out for them.
Whether out of compassion or morality, they should take care of this child as much as they can.
"Whatâs your name?" Ye Dong asked softly, "Sister has some milk and bread, do you want to eat some?"
Already for two or three hours, the child had been hugging his knees, curled up, and silent. Ye Dong sighed helplessly, her heart aching immensely. Even adults canât bear to be away from loved ones, let alone a three-to-four-year-old child?
"Sister, this wonât do. Heâs still so small, how can he go on without eating?" Ye Dong said helplessly.
"Gurgle gurgle..." Just as she spoke, a sound came from the childâs stomach, but he didnât move at all.
Ye Qiu frowned and brought the milk with a straw to his mouth, but the child clenched his lips tightly, stubbornly refusing to drink.
"If your dad knew you were hungry, he would definitely be heartbroken." Ye Qiuqing said softly.
The boyâs eyelids moved, and tears quickly gathered in his big eyes.
"Be good, we have to grow up well so that we can go back and find dad."
Upon hearing Ye Qiuâs words, the boy looked at her with hopeful, big eyes, seemingly asking Ye Qiu why she didnât rescue him.
"You know, I canât beat those big rats." Ye Qiu admitted without any shame.
Perhaps because Ye Qiu had hit on the reason that made his father leave him, the little boy suddenly emitted a fierce shockwave, causing Ye Qiu and Ye Dong to sufferingly cover their heads.
"What is this?" Ye Dong said with difficulty.
"Spiritual Superpower." Ye Qiu spoke with a heavy tone, but her eyes lit up. In contrast to Ice Element or Thunder system powers with high attack strength, spiritual and Space Powers were much rarer.
The little boy was only three or four and had already awakened a superpower, and it was the very mysterious spiritual superpower; his future potential was immeasurable.
"Donât get excited, donât think about those things." Ye Qiu held the little boyâs hand, "Thinking too much will make your head hurt, and if you get a headache, you might forget what your dad looks like. You wouldnât want to not recognize your dad, right?" Ye Qiu coaxed him gently.
The little boy was panting heavily, his small eyes looking at Ye Qiu with confusion.
"Good boy, drink the milk." Ye Qiu soothed his head gently while enduring the shockwaves.
As he drank the milk, the little boy naturally calmed down, and Ye Qiu and Ye Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whatâs your name?"
The little boy didnât speak, so Ye Qiu changed her question: "Then tell sister what your dad usually called you?"
"Mingming." Maybe because he hadnât spoken in a long time, the little boyâs voice was somewhat hoarse, "Also, my dad said that someone like you, I should call you Auntie, not Sister."
"Pfft." Ye Dong chuckled under her breath.
Ye Qiu pinched his tender little face and pouted, "Youâre really not cute at all."
After finally coaxing the child to open his mouth and eat something, Ye Qiu and Ye Dong felt somewhat relieved, but they also knew that Mingmingâs dad might never come back.
"Yiming Brother." In Jing City, Li Lewei finally found a chance to talk to Ying Yiming. She looked up at him with a small face, trying to appear as obedient and sensible as possible.
In fact, over the past few days, Li Lewei hadnât thrown a tantrum at all and even helped with things she could manage, which had already made Ying Yiming take a second look at her. He was seven years older than Li Lewei, and the two had been neighbors since childhoodâchildhood sweethearts, in factâand their parents had even entertained the idea of matchmaking the two, but Li Leweiâs clingy ways and spoiled Eldest Lady temperament had always kept him at armâs length.
But he hadnât expected that just one year of not seeing each other would change Li Leweiâs personality so much, maybe the apocalypse had scared her! Thatâs what Ying Yiming thought.
After all, she was a pampered little girl who grew up in wealth. That she had managed this much was already commendable, and his heart softened a bit. When facing Li Lewei, he restrained his normally cold demeanor somewhat.
"Are you getting used to it? I heard Luo Yong say youâve awakened the Wood Element Superpower, how well have you mastered it?"
Hearing Ying Yimingâs caring tone, Li Lewei couldnât help feeling a bit proud. Her perseverance was right after all, and someday she would make it so Ying Yiming couldnât let go of her. Being so close, wasnât it the time to build a good rapport with him, or should she wait and leave it to Ye Dong?
Ye Dong is the female protagonist of this world, possessing a formidable Ice Element Superpower. Even without Ying Yiming, she could live well, right?
But it was different for her; she was just a cannon fodder female supporting character mentioned in the book, who had awakened a not-so-useful Wood Element Superpower. If it werenât for Ying Yiming, she might truly die.
"Yiming Brother, I can already control the growth of the seeds, but unfortunately, I still canât make them bear fruit or control mutant plants." Li Lewei looked down despondently and pursed her lips slightly.
Her appearance, it must be said, is very delicate now, and when she admits her mistakes and behaves, itâs very easy to evoke goodwill in others.
Even the typically tough-hearted Ying Yiming couldnât help but soften at her current demeanor. After all, she was the sister he had watched grow up; before the apocalypse, she could enjoy everyoneâs affection and act spoiled and impulsive, but after the apocalypse, the once capricious Eldest Lady suddenly fell from grace. She didnât curse her fate; instead, she became more sensible, which made Ying Yiming feel sorry for her.
He gently rubbed her head, comforting her: "Itâs alright, you are already amazing. There are many people in this world who donât even have powers. As long as you keep practicing, you will find a use for it one day."
Li Leweiâs lips curved into an understanding smile, her bright eyes squinting: "Yes, I will work hard, I definitely wonât drag you all down."
When he heard her say these words, Ying Yiming recalled Li Leweiâs collapse and crying when she killed zombies yesterday, feeling somewhat self-reproachful; was he a bit too harsh yesterday?
But he could only protect her for a moment, not for a lifetime. To survive in this post-apocalyptic world, one had to be strong inside.
"Keep it up," Ying Yiming encouraged Li Lewei.
Li Lewei felt a bit annoyed inside; shouldnât he be saying he would protect her with all his might at this point? But thinking of Ye Dong, Ying Yimingâs official partnerâa decisive and strong womanâshe guessed Ying Yiming probably admired that kind of woman.
So she couldnât show any signs of backing down; she needed to impress Ying Yiming. She had already taken the first step, and Ying Yiming had indeed started to see her in a new light. She was sure to succeed.
