Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 616 - Chapter 616 Chapter 617 Where Did You Pop Out From

Chapter 616: Chapter 617: Where Did You Pop Out From? Chapter 616: Chapter 617: Where Did You Pop Out From? Unfortunately, a six-year-old child, let alone training, would be panting from exhaustion after just a few extra laps around the morning assembly ground outside.

Conversely, it was Lu Tong, who obeyed Su Shu’s words and quietly waited in the military camp for Su Shu to pick him up, who became more valued by the soldiers.

Children are notoriously poor at keeping secrets, and Little Fatty was no exception.

Because he was so eager for others to know how good Lu Tong was, he let slip the details about the experimental base at the Northern Border.

He mainly wanted to convey how Lu Tong had led a group of children in evading danger, scurrying from hideout to hideout while being chased and surrounded by Alien Humanoids.

However, a child’s imagination is naturally rich.

When they describe something, they often add their own exaggerated imaginations.

As a result, Xiaopang’s narration ended up resembling an unreliable myth rather than an accurate account.

That’s why many Soldier Brothers listened to his stories as if they were indulging a child.

In the military camp, the atmosphere was tense every day, especially after the higher-ups redeployed a lot of forces to support the Northern Border, the workload in the safe zone surged, and the burden on each warrior became almost unbearable.

The tense atmosphere made people gravitate towards things that were even a little bit relaxing or joyful.

So, the adorably chubby Xiaopang became everyone’s joy after a hard day’s work at the camp, with people teasing him whenever they could.

And with an audience, Xiaopang became even more enthusiastic in his storytelling.

Lu Tong hadn’t been sleeping well for the past couple of days.

He didn’t know if he and Xiaopang were supposed to obediently wait for Auntie Su to come get them,

or if they might end up living here from now on?

Lu Tong wasn’t clear about what life in the future would be like.

Or rather, since his parents had passed away, he had been unable to imagine what life would be like afterward.

After several days of anxiety, he was picked up by Su Shu and brought home.

It was only after stepping through the home’s doorway that Lu Tong felt the little stone weighing on his heart finally drop to the ground.

Xiaopang, on the other hand, was much more nervous inside than Lu Tong, who seemed calm on the surface, when they went home with Su Shu.

And like the two brothers, there was another person feeling unexpected and anxious, someone even younger than both of them–Xiao’ai.

After bringing the two boys through the doorway, the Soldiers who had accompanied them said their goodbyes and left.

To thank them for making the special trip to help bring the boys and their things, Su Shu went inside to get several cans of food and stuffed them into their coat pockets.

When the door closed, it was just the family left.

Unfortunately, this unique family, sizing each other up, remained silent for a long time before starting to introduce themselves.

Su Shu deliberately gave the three children a chance to get to know each other, so she didn’t rush the introductions.

She had told Xiao’ai that a big brother would be joining their household; yes, that big brother was Lu Tong.

However, Xiao’ai’s beautiful eyes blinked inquisitively, sizing up Xiaopang back and forth.

The expression on her face was all too familiar.

It was a look of curiosity and bewilderment, as if to ask, “Where on earth did this big brother spring from?”

Xiao’ai was naturally not a boisterous child, so, unaccustomed to such company, Xiaopang found himself quite breathless under her calm and scrutinizing gaze.

Fortunately, the world of children is simple and pure.

After Xiaopang, unsure of how to break the ice, offered a piece of candy to Xiao’ai,

somehow the three of them began sitting together and playing.

Observing from the side, Su Shu felt deeply moved.
