Chapter 71 – Let’s Go Together

Zhao Ying carried her child and said helplessly, “There’s nothing we can do about it. After all, Gu Jin has a lot of fans. Involving our child early on would secure his future. He’s also been working hard to become an actor and has made a lot of progress. We were discussing when we should announce our relationship.”
At this point, Zhao Ying was no longer smiling. She said in a sad tone, “In the end, the apocalypse happened. Everything was messed up. Fortunately, we managed to adapt quickly. Otherwise, we would have died a long time ago.”
Zhao Ying’s sorrow made the little guy upset as well.
He rubbed her cheeks and gave a serious lecture, “Mom, you told me not to be sad, so you shouldn’t be too.. Life will definitely get better. Smile. You will become ugly if you keep frowning.”
“Okay, mommy will listen to you!”
Zhao Ying smiled and hugged the little boy tightly in her arms. She realized that this was not the time to be sad.
After composing herself by taking two deep breaths, she looked at Li Ran and asked, “Can we bring him with us? Please? Other than his abnormal appearance, there’s nothing wrong with him. I promise we won’t cause you any trouble. We can also leave as soon as we find another car.”
Li Ran had a very good feeling about these people. They were able to remain polite and friendly in the post-apocalyptic world, which touched her heart.
After everything she had experienced that caused her to become more and more indifferent, this was a welcomed change.
She agreed to help them.
“Your child is so cute, how could I refuse? Shall we get going?”
Li Ran tilted her head to look at the little guy and she smiled at him.
The child smiled back sweetly and thanked her, “Thank you, sister. My name is Gu Zhao, you can call me Zhao Zhao.”
“Okay, my name is Li Ran. You can just call me big sister!”
‘Such a charming child.’
Li Ran’s mood had already improved. She was not as depressed as she was before.
Bringing them along might not be a bad idea after all.
After everyone got into the car, Li Ran opened a bottle of mineral water and began rinsing her mouth. A sour taste was lingering due to her vomiting earlier.
Gu Jin watched with his mouth agape.
He did not expect to meet such a rich person!
She did not rinse her mouth once but three times and had already used half a bottle of water!
Li Ran raised her head and her eyes met Gu Jin’s. She chuckled and signaled to the back of the car with her eyes.
“There’s one more bottle of water in the car. Take it.”
“Really? But it’s the last bottle.”
Gu Jin’s eyes had already slipped into the direction of the bottled water. His desires were fully displayed on his face, but he did not take any action.
Li Ran said firmly, “Don’t worry. Just drink it. I still have half a bottle for myself.”
Gu Jin thanked her profusely. He picked up the bottle of water and handed it to Zhao Ying. She was delighted.
“We get to drink clean water!”
Li Ran had noticed that their lips were dry and cracked. It was obvious that they did not get much water to drink.
Zhao Ying took the bottle and carefully opened it. She took a sip and let out a sigh. Now that she had drunk some water, it made her feel even more thirsty. She really wanted to gobble up the entire bottle. Even then, it would not be enough!
However, she quickly gave up on the idea. She took another sip and slowly swallowed it. It was as if the water was some kind of rare delicacy.
Then, she handed the bottle to her son and said with a smile, “Zhao Zhao, how much water do you want to drink?”
“Just a few sips, okay?”
“Okay!”
Gu Zhao looked at the bottle of water eagerly.
The dimples on his face showed when he smiled, making him look even more adorable.
