Ji Zan immediately looked at Fu Shinan.
Fu Shinan said casually,”l don’t mind. I can stay anywhere.”
“Since Miss Fu doesn’t want it, I won’t stand on ceremony. “Bai Lianhua smiled proudly like a proud peacock as she entered the room.
Looking at the tired Fu Shinan, MO Cheng went upstairs to look for her.”Sister
Fu, there’s a small bedroom here. You can come up too.”
Fu Shinan smiled.” No need. I’ll sleep on the sofa on the first floor tonight. Whoever is tired can go up and sleep.” She was the one who suggested that everyone head east. No matter what, she had to ensure everyone’s safety. Otherwise, her conscience would not be at ease.
” We’ll guard the place with a few men,” Ji Zan said.” You go rest with Chang
‘an.”
“You guys have been fighting hard these past few days. It’s time for a change. You guys rest tonight, and I’ll keep watch.” Fu Shinan’s words instantly gained favor from the group of men.
Other than the few days when it rained, the base was under zombie attacks every day, and no one had had a good night’s sleep. Even the strongest bodies couldn’t endure it, especially when they had to remain vigilant at all times, as a collapse could happen anytime. However, the men’s pride made it difficult for them to let go of their egos.
Da Fei was the first to speak.” It’s better for Miss Fu to rest. Women’s stamina is not as good as men’s. It’s not too late for us to rest when we’re at a safe place.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Fu. We can do it.”
Ji Zan glanced at them.” It’s settled then. Miss Fu and I will keep watch tonight. You guys rest and conserve your strength.” Da Fei immediately stood up.” Mr. Ji, we can do it. You should go and rest.” The others also expressed their stance.
Ji Zan’s expression darkened.” I don’t want to repeat myself. Hurry up and eat something, then find a place to rest.”
The others finally stopped talking. Xiao Chang ‘an was also chased upstairs by Ji Zan to look for Bai Lianhua.
After a while, only two people were left on the first floor.
Fu Shinan felt a bit awkward. How did it end up being the two of them keeping watch together? She spoke to Ji Zan, who was sitting across from her on the sofa, “Um… just like the others, you’ve been under a lot of stress for the past few days. Take this opportunity to rest for a while. If anything happens, I’ll call you.”
“I’m not sleepy yet, ” Ji Zan replied as he stood up and turned off the lights.
The villa was instantly enveloped in darkness.
Fu Shinan felt even more uneasy, so she stood by the window while there was still a faint moonlight outside.
“Are you feeling tired, Miss Fu?” Ji Zan’s voice suddenly came from behind, startling Fu Shinan. She nervously turned around and was met with the tall figure standing in front of her. In the darkness, Ji Zan’s silhouette appeared tall and imposing, exuding an overwhelming pressure.
“Did I scare you?” Ji Zan’s voice lowered, sounding unexpectedly seductive.
“I didn’t expect you to suddenly appear behind me. How is it that you make no sound when you walk?” Fu Shinan blurted out anxiously. She attempted to walk around Ji Zan and head towards the sofa, but in the darkness, she tripped over his foot and stumbled forward.
Ji Zan reached out to support her and said in a low voice,”Be careful.” “I’m fine.” Fu Shinan pushed him away in a panic and quickly ran to the sofa.
“It’s rare to see Miss Fu so shy. I thought doctors wouldn’t be like this.” Ji Zan chuckled.
Fu Shinan smiled, “Are you suggesting that doctors aren’t considered women in your eyes? Besides, who said I was shy? I was just embarrassed, okay? Tripping like that made me look silly.”
Ji Zan pondered for a moment and said, “Oh, I see. In my impression, doctors are usually very rational. My mother was a doctor too.”
“That hospital was founded when Auntie was alive?” Fu Shinan asked, but in her mind, she was thinking about Ji’s mother whom she had encountered in An Town, who had already turned into a zombie…
Ji Zan leaned back on the sofa and said in a low and slow voice, “My grandfather founded the hospital. My mother married at his behest, and my father was the one he chose for her. My grandfather probably didn’t expect that my parents would spend their entire lives without any affection, living together more like strangers than anything else.”
Fu Shinan was instantly energized. She had always been curious about wealthy families. Now that a member from a genuinely wealthy family was in front of her, she could not help but ask, “So, in your high-status family, do people marry for the sake of strategic alliances? Is it really a happy life?”
Ji Zan didn’t avoid the question, “Most of the time, that’s how it is. As for the question of happiness, it depends on one’s perspective. Their mindset is deeply rooted. For the sake of the family’s advancement, wealth, and power, that might be their idea of happiness.”
Fu Shinan chuckled softly, “So, it’s safe to say that the domineering CEOs in movies and ordinary girls from humble backgrounds are all deceiving. You all form powerful alliances, marrying within your social circles.. How could you possibly choose someone from an ordinary family?”
