Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 583 - Chapter 583 Chapter 584 Not good something bad is going to

Chapter 583: Chapter 584: Not good, something bad is going to happen! Chapter 583: Chapter 584: Not good, something bad is going to happen! Song Auntie only rested easy after she had personally checked to ensure that there was really nothing seriously wrong with her.

She tightly held onto Su Shu’s wrist and led her over to the couch.

Gazing at the bulging backpack behind Su Shu, her surprised eyes quickly returned to normal.

“Zhan An was right,” she said, “he guessed that you might have gone out by yourself. I didn’t believe him at first, but it turns out you’re quite bold, daring to go anywhere. What would we do if something happened to you, how would we explain to Zelin?”

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, holding Su Shu’s hand with both worry and heartache in her heart.

This child was just trying to get them a bit more to eat.

Su Shu placed the backpack on the floor behind her but didn’t open it right away, choosing instead to first calm Song Auntie’s anxious emotions.

Just then, there was a scattering of light from outside.

Soon after, Zhan An came in carrying a flashlight.

As he entered the house, he saw the person they had been looking for, seated safely at home in the candlelight, and Zhan An let out a sigh of relief.

“Xiaosu is back?”

Su Shu truly hadn’t expected that her brief disappearance would cause both of her elders to worry so.

Zhan An came in and changed his shoes, his gaze inadvertently swept over the backpack beside him, and he also guessed where she had been.

“Auntie, Uncle, I’m sorry, I was reckless,” Su Shu said, feeling deeply apologetic for causing them to have a restless night.

To her surprise, Zhan An smiled slightly, “It’s alright, as long as you’re back safe and sound. However, let there be no next time, the black market is too dangerous. If you rush into it and something happens, it will be too late for regrets.”

“I’ll remember that.”

After the late-night scare, the three of them took a moment to settle down in the living room.

In times of crisis, one gets anxious and thinks of all sorts, but being on tenterhooks also drains a lot of energy.

Zhan An asked his wife, “After roaming around for a bit, I’m kind of hungry.”

“Shall I make something for you to eat?” asked Song Auntie.

Just as Zhan An was about to nod, Su Shu stopped him, “Don’t bother, Auntie, I’ve just bartered for some tasty stuff today.”

Turning around to open her backpack, she reached in, first discreetly stowing away some items it was better for Zhan An and his wife not to see, into the “space”, then she took out the other harmless items one by one.

It was just like the things she brought when she returned from outside that day.

Zhan An saw that she had actually bartered for two packs of dried pollack, a delicacy as a side dish with alcohol in the north.

Zhan An had eaten it before and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

“Should I tear some up for Uncle to have with his drink?” Su Shu offered.

Zhan An gestured dismissively, “Don’t worry about it, save the good stuff for later when we can all enjoy it together. If I want to drink, I’ll wait to drink with brother-in-law, it’s not too late to have it then.”

Su Shu thought to herself, on the way back, she had been wondering what reasonable excuse she could find for some of the items she had bartered for.

Who would have thought she wouldn’t even need to come up with an excuse, as the situation in front of her had already sorted it all out?

Song Auntie woke up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache, intending to visit the bathroom, when she inadvertently noticed something off about the entryway of the house.

On closer inspection, disaster struck–there was a pair of shoes missing.

With the shoes gone, it naturally meant the person was gone too.

Nowadays, with everything so chaotic outside, it was very dangerous.

She woke her husband, and they were both worried, but they didn’t disturb anyone else’s rest.

The couple decided that one would wait at home while the other walked around the courtyard.

Recalling how Su Shu had chatted a bit more with some people during the day, Zhan An had a sinking feeling, thinking maybe she had sneaked off to the black market.
