Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 564 - Chapter 564 Chapter 565 Do You No Longer Need You

Chapter 564: Chapter 565: Do You No Longer Need You? Chapter 564: Chapter 565: Do You No Longer Need You? In such a large safe zone, where everyone around her seemed to be living well, she alone felt utterly isolated, unable to fit in anywhere.

She couldn’t always be recuperating in the hospital.

So, she took the initiative to offer help with whatever she could manage around the hospital.

If it weren’t for Group Captain Tang and his men bringing her back, her stay wouldn’t have lasted this long, but settling in the First Safe Zone was now very difficult, she had inquired.

Yet, she didn’t want to leave this place.

Here, not only were there people she knew, but also a lingering question in her heart that remained unresolved.

For reasons unknown, she just didn’t want to leave.

However, she had apparently messed up a minor thing just earlier, and couldn’t help but be preoccupied thinking about when to find an opportunity to fix it.

In her line of sight, she saw a tall figure in the distance, holding a child and escorting two elderly people out of the hospital.

Bai Qinghuan’s eyes darkened; she couldn’t afford to offend Company Commander Ji.

If she wanted to stay in the First Safe Zone, this path was certainly the best option.

Becoming a soldier’s wife in the Apocalypse might not impress many, but it appealed to her.

Staying by Brother Shen Han’s side, this might genuinely be the best way.

She knew Shen Han liked Su Shu, and from the sidelines, she could clearly sense how special Shen Han’s attitude toward Su Shu was.

She thought, she knew what would be best to do.

With a silent pep talk in her heart, she turned around and went back to work.

All the way home, Xiao’ai was very silent.

It wasn’t just him asking, even the Ge elders inquired why the child looked so listless.

The two elders simply thought the child was uncomfortable from getting a shot and didn’t think much further.

And Ji Dong, not being a man of many words, knew why the little girl felt upset.

He tried to divert her attention by talking about other things he thought were interesting.

Unfortunately, it was to little avail.

Eventually, the little girl simply closed her eyes, buried her head into his neck.

Her pitiful look made Ji Dong feel terribly upset.

Soon after, he dropped them off at home, and observing that it was getting late, he knew it was time to return to the military base.

But turning back to look at the little girl curled up like a shrimp, Company Commander Ji felt a slight throbbing at his temples.

At this moment, Fu Shiyin also sensed that something was amiss.

“The child isn’t usually like this, what’s wrong? She looks so down,” she said.

The elder approached with concern, “Xiao’ai, what’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell? Tell Grandma Fu.”

Xiao’ai shook her head; her body curled up even more tightly, threatening to turn into a ball.

Seeing her like this, Ji Dong couldn’t leave with peace of mind. After a moment’s thought, he walked over and crouched by the edge of the bed, just facing Xiao’ai’s head.

“Xiao’ai, you can’t just believe what others say. Your auntie went to Pengcheng with your uncle to pick up your brother; remember? After they pick him up, they’ll be back. They haven’t abandoned Xiao’ai,” he explained gently.

Upon hearing this, the Ge elder and his wife were taken aback.

Where had this come from? Their faces darkened.

Seeing the little girl curled into a ball, their expressions grew even grimmer.

Ge elder frowned slightly, while Fu Shiyin’s face turned completely stern.

“Who said that? How can they say such a thing to a child? Let me hear them; I’ll tear their mouth apart,” she declared fiercely.

With heartache, she picked up Xiao’ai and held her close, “Xiao’ai, your auntie just went to handle some business. She’ll be back after she’s done. Everything else you heard is false; do you understand?”

Xiao’ai kept her head down in silence for a while; then she looked up at Fu Shiyin and turned her head towards Ji Dong.
