Chapter 68 – Apocalypse Arc: Zombie Siege: Rebirth in the Apocalypse—My Secret Lover (06)
The dilapidated building in the alley was no longer safe for habitation, and anything left inside was best abandoned.
Shao Licang took Bai Tang back to his villa, and naturally, Bai Yun had to follow as well.
From that moment on, Shao Licang took full responsibility for Bai Tang’s daily needs—food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Though he had always disliked having outsiders invade his personal space, he made an exception for Bai Tang. To ensure Bai Tang’s well-being, he even allowed a nutritionist, a mental health specialist, and a private doctor to move into the villa, ready to intervene at any moment.
Shao Licang took excellent care of Bai Tang, leaving Bai Yun with no room for complaint. However, the better he treated Bai Tang, the more anxious Bai Yun became. Bai Tang was growing dangerously dependent on the male lead, and anyone who got in the way of the female lead’s pursuit of him never met a good end.
Bai Tang clung to Shao Licang every moment of the day. If he didn’t see him, he would start crying immediately, and Bai Yun couldn’t console him no matter how hard she tried. Within a month, the two had become practically inseparable, like conjoined twins. Even when dealing with company affairs, Shao Licang made sure to stay by Bai Tang’s side.
“Qiu’er, when will the apocalypse start?”
The system had nearly gone into sleep mode after not having anyone to talk to for an entire month. Hearing Bai Tang speak to it suddenly, it was overjoyed.
“Tang Tang, how are you feeling?” The system, noticing that the original host’s influence seemed to be weakening, flew over to Bai Tang with concern.
“I’m okay… But whenever I don’t see Ah Cang, I feel really uncomfortable,” Bai Tang said, pressing a hand against his chest. “How long until the apocalypse? What should we do to prepare?”
“The apocalypse will start in two months, but you don’t need to prepare for anything! I’ve already got everything covered,” the system said proudly, patting its small storage bag. “I even upgraded it! Now it’s super spacious—bigger than the female lead’s space!”
“Qiu’er, you’re amazing,” Bai Tang praised.
“Hehe, it’s only natural!” The system beamed. Finally, Bai Tang was starting to return to normal.
Speaking of spatial abilities, Bai Tang suddenly thought of the jade pendant—the one that had been stolen by the female lead. Inside it was a subspace, something that originally belonged to Shao Licang.
“But the jade pendant has already been bound to the female lead through a blood recognition ritual. However, you can buy a reset device from the system store to restore it to its original state,” the system explained. “Also, there’s been a slight anomaly in this world—your sister, Bai Yun, is a transmigrator.”
A transmigrator… Bai Tang couldn’t help but recall Bai Shang from the previous world, who was also a transmigrator.
“But Bai Yun is really nice! She cares about Tang Tang a lot. And it seems like she knows the storyline—she’s been using the money she got from the male lead to stockpile supplies,” the system added, taking out a small notebook to jot down details about this world, just in case more anomalies appeared in the future.
It was Bai Tang’s nap time, and Shao Licang was in his study handling business affairs.
Bai Tang tiptoed downstairs and ran straight into Bai Yun, who had just returned from purchasing supplies.
“Tang Tang, what are you doing up?” Bai Yun had barely finished speaking before Bai Tang had already dashed up to her.
“Sister~” His soft, sweet voice melted straight into her heart.
Bai Yun was beyond thrilled—this was the first time since meeting Shao Licang that Bai Tang had come to her instead of him.
“Are you hungry? And why aren’t you wearing shoes?” Bai Yun pulled Bai Tang onto the sofa and turned to warm him a cup of milk.
Bai Tang cradled the cup in his hands, the warmth seeping into his palms. After taking a sip, a little “milk mustache” was left on his lips.
“Sister, can I go out with you?” Bai Tang looked up at Bai Yun expectantly.
Faced with such an adorable request from her little brother, Bai Yun clutched her heart, overwhelmed by his cuteness, and immediately agreed.
As for why Bai Tang didn’t ask Shao Licang to take him out? If he went with Shao Licang, he wouldn’t have the chance to act alone.
