Chapter 41: Heading for Supplies (2)
Li Zhuang was still waiting for his answer. Lu Weiyi took a bite of oatmeal and said slowly, “Don’t want to go.”
“It’s already chaotic outside. Little friend, if you don’t hurry up and store more food, don’t come crying to me when you’re hungry,” Li Zhuang’s words were meant as a reminder, but they didn’t sound pleasant.
“It’s okay, my family will be here soon,” Lu Weiyi secretly rolled his eyes at him.
Li Zhuang knew he was waiting for someone to pick him up, but… “Little friend, the end of the world has been going on for so long. If they could come, they would have come already. Maybe they…”
Lu Weiyi suddenly stood up, the chair scraping out a harsh “squeak.” A butter knife flew towards Li Zhuang. Li Zhuang leaned to the side against the wall, dodging it. At the same time, Lu Weiyi’s voice was colder than ever, “Don’t talk nonsense. Something must have delayed them.”
Seeing the look on Lu Weiyi’s face, as if he would turn hostile if denied, Li Zhuang raised an eyebrow and didn’t bring up the topic again. “Then it’s definitely right for you to store more food. You’ll use it eventually anyway.”
Lu Weiyi was silent for a moment, then nodded and asked, “Who all is going?”
He hadn’t forgotten how cowardly the people in that team were. They were useless at work but first in line for grabbing things. If he went with them, Lu Weiyi would rather stay home and cultivate his abilities.
“Just myself,” Li Zhuang said.
“Okay,” Lu Weiyi replied, lowering his head to eat.
“Looks like little friend wants to go out with me,” Li Zhuang seemed completely unconcerned about his rudeness just now. He even winked at him, which, combined with his large build, was slightly greasy. “Don’t worry, big brother will protect you.”
Lu Weiyi raised his eyes and glared at him. His clear eyes seemed to hold a pool of water, and when he stared intently at someone, it gave a feeling of silent accusation, as if everything you did was wrong.
Li Zhuang’s brow twitched involuntarily, but he casually chuckled and continued to chat with Antonio.
After a few words, Antonio, seeing that Lu Weiyi didn’t seem to welcome Li Zhuang, made an excuse that Dean needed a doctor to examine him and saw Li Zhuang off.
“Lu, are you going to leave with your family later?” Dean took a sip of milk, leaving a white ring around his mouth.
“Mm,” Lu Weiyi nodded. “He will come to pick me up.” Lu Weiyi never doubted this.
“Then where are you going?”
“I don’t know either.” Lu Weiyi always listened to Zhuang Mingxu. They might go back to Qingyuan, or they might go to the Capital, but they definitely wouldn’t stay here.
Antonio listened quietly, feeling that Lu Weiyi seemed to have been pampered and didn’t have many opinions of his own. This meant there would probably be fewer arguments. Antonio silently breathed a sigh of relief and assured Lu Weiyi friendly, “I will be responsible for your safety until you leave. If you don’t want to look for food, I can take care of everything.”
Lu Weiyi looked at Antonio strangely and didn’t say anything.
