80 Part 2

Su Yu hesitated, then turned to Zhao Guiqing, his voice low. Mom, youyou dont want me to come with you?

Zhao Guiqings eyes flashed with tears, clearly unwilling to look at him. I dont want to do this either, but right now your sisters the only one with special abilities. If we both go, she wont be able to take care of us

She didnt finish her sentence to leave herself some s.p.a.ce, but Su Yu wouldnt let her have her way. So youre just going to leave me here to die?

Lowering her head, Zhao Guiqing fidgeted with the corner of her clothing, clearly conflicted.

Jiang Shuo, how can you talk to Mom like that? Jiang Tians nose pointed toward the sky. Im the only one who has special abilities at home. Do you want me to leave Mom behind instead and take you?

Youre right. If it were my choice, I wouldnt leave Mom behind because were a family. Shouldnt the family support each other through everything? Su Yu smiled bitterly, his voice soft. Do you really treat me as a family member? Im sure you made up your minds to leave me behind before I even came out here.

Shuo, I didntHow could I abandon you? Zhao Guiqing looked at him nervously, her eyes clearly filled with conflict and unwillingness. But more than that, there was shame and regret. Clearly she had made up her mind. When we find your dad, well come back for you. Like Tian Tian said, its too dangerous for us three out there. Its better you wait for us at home so we can come pick you up later.

Their home was about two thousand li from B Market, and this was the apocalypse. Su Yu would have to be crazy to believe her.

Honestly, Su Yu was quite clear on what the two of them were thinking anyways. If it werent to record them, hed be too lazy to even talk to them. He was already impatient, but forced his face into a smile. Mom, did you forget that I havent even eaten for the past three days? Or are you going to leave all the food behind for me? Even so, I wont be able to last long before I just starve.

Why would we leave the food at home for you? We have to eat on the road. Under Su Yus guidance, Jiang Tian continued the conversation ruthlessly. Youre a man trying to argue with his mom and sister for food. Do you have any shame?

So you want someone without special abilities whos been starving for three days to go out and fight zombies? Sighing, Su Yus voice was somewhere between crying and laughing. Mom, Tian Tian, do you know how sad I am right now? If you let me choose now, Id stay behind and not burden you with my presence. I would even offer myself up to jump into a pile of zombies. But I never thought youd choose to abandon me. Its different, you know? Im willing to use my life to exchange your safety. But the fact that youre leaving me for your own good, even if the end goal is the same, feels completely different to me.

Su Yu lowered his head, cradling his face in his hands. It was such a cheesy scene, but he felt completely emotionless, almost like it was funny.

Looking at her brother, who was as weak and sentimental as always, Jiang Tians expression was full of disgust. Its already at this point, whats the point of acting all this out? Were leaving soon now, you can say what you want.

Although Zhao Guiqings expression was even more pained, she still said nothing.

It was a long while before Su Yu lifted his head again, breathing heavily. His expression was calm. Mom, sorry for saying so much to make you worry. Its fine, just go ahead. Ill wait for you to come pick me up. No need to worry about me, really.

Shuo Zhao Guiqings eyes were red, but she didnt say anything else.

Weve said all that needs to be said. Mom, lets go. Jiang Tians expression was just as flat as Su Yus. She glanced at him, pulling her mother behind her as they lifted their bags to leave.

Touched by Su Yus words, Zhao Guiqing looked at the bags in Jiang Tians hands. Tian Tian, should we leave something for your brother?

Hes useless now, its a waste anyways. Jiang Tian pressed her lips together, pulling the bag closer.

Zhao Guiqing didnt say anything else. Sighing once more, she left the house with her daughter.

Su Yu watched the two go sadly. When the door was slammed behind them, his expression changed. To be rid of such a lovely pair of family members so easily felt quite incredible.

The ball was prepared to comfort him, but hadnt even opened its mouth when he sank into the couch, beckoning with his fingers. Bring me the plotline for the mission.
