Chapter 8
A bachelor enters a couples' room
"Chen Yu! What the hell do you mean?! What do you mean by 'whatever'?"
"You arranged everything so meticulously for the other three, but you're so casual about it when it comes to me?"
"You're fucking targeting me on purpose!"
Zhang Zihao said viciously, "You want everyone to think that my collecting supplies is pointless because I'll eventually die? Do you really think everyone will believe whatever you say!"
Deng Yuxin turned even paler with fright and instinctively tried to pull him away: "Zihao! Don't do this! Please don't be impulsive, Chen Yu... he didn't mean it that way..."
"What does he mean?!"
Zhang Zihao abruptly shook off Deng Yuxin's hand, the force of which made her stagger and her eyes redden.
"Can't you tell, Yuxin? He's disliked me from the very beginning!"
"When we were dividing into groups! When we were asking about our takeaways! And now it's the same thing again! He's just trying to embarrass me! To make me unable to hold my head up in front of you!"
Li Mengyao also spoke up timidly, "Zhang Zihao, calm down, we're a team!"
Wang Mengmeng opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at Zhang Zihao who seemed to be insane, she swallowed her words and silently moved closer to Li Mengyao.
Zhang Wanyue shook her head: "Alright, we're all classmates, and we'll have to work together to survive in the future, so let's not make things too awkward."
"Zihao..."
Deng Yuxin pleaded, "Stop yelling, okay? Let's do as he says and get everything set up properly. Now is not the time to argue, I'm scared..."
The last three words, trembling, struck Zhang Zihao.
Looking into his girlfriend's tearful, pleading eyes, even the coldest person would be moved.
The most hateful one is Chen Yu!
That guy... didn't turn around to look at him even once from beginning to end, and didn't say a word in rebuttal!
But the more he does this, the more he seems like a clown!
"Splash!"
"Splash!"
"Splash!"
Although each slot can hold one hundred of the same items, the problem is...
This supermarket has no warehouse, only goods on the shelves.
Let alone a hundred identical items, even ten would be very difficult to find.
This also resulted in a huge waste of space...
They could only follow Chen Yu's instructions and select the best items to take.
Before long, everyone's backpacks were almost full.
"The abnormal situation will end in five hours."
Zhang Wanyue calculated: "That means it should end at three in the morning."
Deng Yuxin pointed to the back of the supermarket: "The second floor has rest rooms, but there are only two. If we want to rest, we'll have to decide which one to use."
Zhang Zihao spoke first, putting his arm around Deng Yuxin's shoulder: "Um...we're a couple, is it okay if we share a room?"
Wang Mengmeng retorted directly, "What are you talking about! You don't mean for the four of us to live together, do you?!"
Zhang Zihao shrugged: "Didn't you guys come back specifically to find Chen Yu? Why are you complaining about sharing a room with him?"
His words were slightly provocative.
Li Mengyao frowned and said, "Zhang Zihao, of course we're not complaining about Chen Yu, it's just that there's not enough room for four people to sleep in one room."
Deng Yuxin nodded: "Zihao, it is indeed a bit..."
Zhang Zihao pursed his lips. He had originally thought that he could take the opportunity to spend some time with Yuxin.
Before the apocalypse, the two had been in love for three years and had a very good relationship, but Deng Yuxin insisted that they could only have sex after marriage, and even that they could not have intimate contact.
Now is the perfect opportunity to break through the defenses.
But judging from this...
No one supported it; on the contrary, there was a lot of opposition.
"It's all Chen Yu's fault! If it weren't for him, I would definitely be the number one player on the team!"
Even Zhang Wanyue would never dare to disobey me!
Speaking of Zhang Wanyue, although the class committee member likes to supervise evening self-study sessions, she's definitely an ice queen...
Zhang Zihao took a deep breath, his expression calm: "Alright, alright, then we'll do as you say. So, what does everyone think? How about we let the class committee..."
Zhang Wanyue flatly refused: "I don't live with my partner."
Li Mengyao grabbed Zhang Wanyue and said, "Class monitor, come to our room."
Zhang Wanyue nodded: "Okay."
Zhang Zihao was taken aback: "What do you mean? You want...Chen Yu? to come to my and Yuxin's room?"
Wang Mengmeng shrugged: "Otherwise, you want Chen Yu to sleep outside?"
Zhang Zihao, feeling rebuffed, retorted angrily, "This is definitely inconvenient! Chen Yu, he..."
Zhang Wanyue shook her head: "Zhang Zihao, we're all classmates, and now we're all in this together. We're just taking turns keeping watch for a few hours, sleeping fully clothed. What's inconvenient about that?"
"Or are you still thinking about random things?"
The question was so direct that Zhang Zihao was speechless, feeling both embarrassed and frustrated.
He wanted to argue back, but found that whatever he said would sound petty.
Just then, Deng Yuxin gently tugged at his sleeve.
Zhang Zihao looked down and saw his girlfriend looking up at him with her big eyes still filled with lingering fear. She was trying to give him a small smile.
Her nose was still a little red, but her forced composure, combined with her naturally sweet and lovely appearance, created a contrasting sense of pitifulness and hard work to be sensible.
"Zihao,"
She spoke softly, "Let Chen Yu come over here. Besides... I feel more at ease with Chen Yu nearby."
After saying that, she quickly added, "What I mean is, he can foresee the future, which is helpful to us..."
Zhang Zihao looked at Deng Yuxin and finally nodded: "Okay."
Throughout the entire process of assigning rooms, Chen Yu did not utter a single word.
But as a single man, I was assigned to a couples' room.
It's still a bit strange.
Only then did he speak calmly: "Take turns keeping watch. Deng Yuxin, Zhang Zihao, Wang Mengmeng, Li Mengyao, and Zhang Wanyue, in that order, one hour each, for a total of five hours."
Zhang Zihao's lips twitched: "Wait, why isn't your name in this layout...?"
Chen Yu chuckled: "Because five people are enough."
Zhang Zihao said in a low voice, "Why shouldn't I be the one taking a break?"
Chen Yu shrugged: "Because I have to foresee the future, it's exhausting. You can rest, but why don't you try to foresee it?"
Zhang Zihao has gone silent again.
If he dared to object to this reason, the girls next to him would definitely favor Chen Yu again.
Now, my position in the team is in jeopardy.
I have to teach Chen Yu a lesson tonight, otherwise my path to survival won't be easy...
