Yun Che took Shuiyu to an empty room. After reconfirming her will, Yun Che took out the zombie blood he had collected for a long time. He cut Shuiyu's finger with a knife and dripped a drop of the blood on her wound. Instantly Shuiyu felt something violent rushing through her body from the wound, as if tending to control her body.
"Che, Che…"
The invasion of zombie virus made Shuiyu's forehead covered with fine sweat. Her teeth were trembling as she spoke, and a strong fear enveloped her whole body. Yun Che took out the bottle of diluted spring water and handed it to her. "Drink, it can suppress the zombie virus and let you inspire abilities," he said.
He had said before that zombie viruses were like cells in the human body. When the helpful cells and harmful ones were in balance, they were ordinary people, and when there were more harmful cells than the good ones, they would be transformed to zombies. And vice versa, When there were more helpful cells, superfunctions would be stimulated and they would become superfunction possessors. The function of spring water was to purify harmful cells and increase the number of helpful cells.
"Ahh··"
Taking the bottle with her shaking hand, Shuiyu was unable to ask what was inside. It was hard for the hands that were shaking like mad to even unscrewed the bottle cap. After several unsuccessful attempts, Shuiyu bit the cap off, and raised her head and poured all the water in the bottle into her mouth. The cool spring water was slightly sweet. Soon after it rolled down her throat, the violent airflow in her body was suppressed.
"Umm··"
The body was no longer so painful. Shui Yu closed her eyes and raised her head slightly, trying to resist the residual discomfort in her body. After about ten minutes, the wound on Shui Yu's hand healed and disappeared, and she seemed to be full of strength. Shuiyu realized something, so she opened her eyes and snapped her fingers, and a small cluster of flames suspended in the air.
"Fire, fire…Che, can you see it? It's fire, superfunction of fire."
Shui Yu looked at Yun Che with excitement and then at the flame. She was incoherent with excitement now that she possessed a superfunction of her own, which was fire that could be used in battles. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She would no longer be a burden to the Uncle and Jiawen. She could protect herself, take good care of her aunt, and even protect them in future.
"Well, not bad, congratulations."
Seeing the little girl crying and laughing, Yun Che smiled unconsciously. Both as people obsessed with superfunctions, Han Mingzhe in the previous life had not hesitated to cut open someone else's skull to get the brains, whereas Shuiyu was willing to risk her chance of becoming a zombie. Good and evil, it was as clear as day.
"Thank you, thank you Che…"
Overexcited Shuiyu rushed over and took hold of his hand, tears of joy rolling down ceaselessly. Yun Che patted her head soothingly, and said, "There, there, you are also one of the Peak. I should help you."
"Hmm…"
Nodding carelessly, she wiped away her tears, and smiled hard.
"But Jiawen and the others can't know the process by which you get your superfunction. After all, this is not something aboveboard."
"Heehee! Okay, Che, I promise not to tell anyone."
Shuiyu couldn't help but laughed. Yun Che nodded as he got up, and then left the room with her. It was not a lie when he had said earlier that he liked Shuiyu. The little girl was pretty, thin and petite, but she had a temperament comparable with any man. And she valued friendship and personal loyalty. He really hoped that she could join the second squad of Peak and become the second Zhan Yafei.
Early the next morning, after a night of practice, not only were they not tired, but they were full of energy instead. After learning that Yun Che had helped Shuiyu gain a superfuction, Kong Jiawen and his mother were very happy for her, not doubting how the superfuction came in the slightest. The few people who knew the truth remained silent about it, and they took turns to congratulated Shuiyu, and the topic was soon replaced.
"Sis, today I will send Chenchen to the kindergarten, Ye Han will stay at home with Cheng to take some measurements or something, and Zeyu, you will lead the squad."
At breakfast, Yun Che said while eating that Xing Feng had already contacted Mo Wenyang earlier. He had originally wanted to ask him to make an appointment with Wei and the others for them. But Mo Wenyang asked them to participate in their morning meeting at eight thirty. Xing Feng felt that there was no need to choose another day, so it was so decided.
"Why, are you not afraid of running into Zhang Min?"
Yunyao gave him a funny look. Who in the family didn't know that he went out early in the morning and returning late in the evening because he was avoiding Zhang Min? Moreover, he strictly forbade her and Yafei and even Auntie to mention anything like BL, seme & uke and ABO in the house. Honestly sometimes she felt that Che was more familiar with those professional terms than she was.
"Sis, please, can I have a comfortable breakfast?"
Did she have to do that?
"Heehee… But then again, our Chaoyang women are quite talented, and some of them wrote some good fan fictions, even your personality and hobbies are basically the same, and…"
"Exactly, the one written by someone with the pen name of 'Wish to Sleep with Yun' is very good, and there is even sex scenes. The depiction is so meticulous that it made my blood boil."
"Yafei, you read that too? I heard that some people want to print it out to see if they can find a painter and make ita comic…"
"That's enough, Sis!"
Women were easily excited when talking about this kind of thing. Yun Che had reached the end of his forbearance and yelled to interrupt them. All the others were rendered speechless with only one exception, Jiang Shang. He was staring at them without blinking, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Heehee…Sorry, I got excited and forgot."
Noticing the not very pleased expression on her brother's face, Yun Yao hurriedly laughed and said sorry, and Zhan Yafei stuck out her tongue mischievously. "But that's really well written," she thought, but of course, she didn't dare to say it any more.
"Well, Gu, can you marry my sister and take her home quickly? Just let her torment you alone, not me anymore."
No longer able to stand their fujoshi thoughts, Yun Che suddenly turned to Gu Mingxuan. He almost said he would give more dowry, only to make him marry his sister.
"What are you talking about? You mischievous imp!"
Yun Yao blushed and gave him a slap, which missed Yun Che since he was prepared and quickly stood up holding the bowl. Gu Mingxuan smiled openly and said, "Fine by me, as long as your sister says yes. We can even hold the wedding together with you."
"Ming Xuan!"
First her younger brother, now Gu Mingxuan, Yun Yao went so red that her face might bleed.
"Oh, Yao is shy. Just say yes to Mingxuan."
Chu Haoling, who had always been anxious to stir up trouble, joined in the fun, and Zhou Zeyu was not left behind. "It's not so easy to marry Yao. All the betrothal presents that were popular before the doomsday cannot be left out, and Gu must write a statement to Yao and promise to listen to her after marriage in everything, to love her and protect her, to compliment her when she is right and when she is wrong, and never bully…"
"Come on, are you freaking memorizing some lines? If I remember correctly, Xingchen was the star before doomsday. Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Ha, ha…"
Chu Haoling's mocking was so quick and fierce that everyone at the table couldn't help but sway with laughter, including Gu Mingxuan and Yun Yao who were ridiculed. Breakfast continued in this atmosphere, and after it some went on quests, some cleaned up the table, and Yun Che and Xing Feng took Chenchen out of the house. In order to help him digest, they did not drive, but planned to take a walk to the kindergarten.
"Uncle, is Uncle Gu going to be my father?"
After walking for a while, Chenchen suddenly raised his head and asked, Xing Feng and Yun Che was both startled, but then quickly composed themselves. Yun Che held his hand as he walked and asked casually, "Chenchen, Don't you like Uncle Gu to be your father?"
He thought that Chenchen still had memories of his biological father, so he felt inevitably a little sad. His sister could be with anyone, anyone but Zhou Zhijun.
"Hmm…"
But Xiao Pangchen quickly shook his head and said, "I like Uncle Gu very much and like him to be my father, but they say that he has to be nice to mommy, so I can't choose who I like."
Chenchen didn't understand it very well, and he only knew what he knew from others.
"Then do you think Uncle Gu is nice to mommy?"
Obviously he had not expected to get such an answer. Yun Che turned and looked at Chenchen. As far as he knew, Zhou Zhijun hadn't come back during the Chinese New Year last year. In other words, Chenchen's last memory of him was that he had come back from the holiday on May 1st last year. He was less than two at that time, so he couldn't remember him anymore, could he? Even if his sister had shown him his photos, after six months of ups and downs, he probably wouldn't remember it.
"Hmm…yes, I think?"
After tilting his head and thinking for a short while, Chenchen said that, but not very sure. Usually he was either in kindergarten or went to play with his friends, otherwise he would go to the Space to Heiyu. The time he spent with Uncle Gu was not really much.
"Heehee… then Chenchen should pay attention in future, and if you think Uncle Gu is very good to mommy, tell her, can you do that?"
"Ok."
Chenchen nodded obediently, and soon forgot about it. He ran and hopped around holding both their hands, and occasionally simply raised his feet to let them carry him forward. The three of them were playing their way to the kindergarten almost half an hour later. Compared with the kindergarten that had been transformed from a villa before, the kindergarten now was a two-story building with a total of ten rooms. There was a rather large playground in the front enclosed by fences with milky white carving about half a man's height. It was filled with various children's play facilities. The back yard had a sun-covered swimming pool. In the hot summer, the teachers would take the children to play in the water and teach them to swim incidentally.
"Good morning, Miss She!"
At the open fence door, She Jiao and another teacher who seemed to be in her twenties stood at the door to greet the children. Every child sent by their parents greeted the teachers adorably, and then waved to the parents before entered the kindergarten merrily, carrying their small schoolbags.
"Captain Xing? Captain Yun? Why are you here in person?"
Seeing them from a distance, She Jiao greeted them in surprise. The eyes of the teacher who followed her brightened and she stared at the two of them almost without blinking, with curiosity and excitement written in her eyes. Yun Che and Xing Feng was only too familiar with such gaze. In the past two months, they could feel this gaze at any place where there were women around. Yun Che had said something right, that since the opening of Chaoyang Kindergarten, Chaoyang Community had been occupied by Yaoi fangirls. Women, regardless of age, were all turned to fujoshis, and they easily saw any man they met as a gay. Every good-looking man in Chaoyang were being fantasized about all the time, especially Yun Che and the others who had come out openly, as well as the members of the Peak Squads who claimed to have the most handsome faces in the entire base.
"Well, morning, Miss. She!"
Yun Che commanded himself to ignore that hot gaze as much as possible, and the smile on his face look embarrassed anyway. She Jiao, who seemed to also know something, couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. She didn't mean to stop the teacher at all. It was rare for the women in the community to have a common interest, and she couldn't be a betrayer, could she?
