No, I dont want it! I dont want your food! I dont want to be alone at home! I
just want to go with you! Please Wang Tao!
Ding Yuqin clutched Wang Taos hand tightly in her agitated state, her eyes brimming with tears.
It was the first time Wang Tao had seen Ding Yuqin lose her composure like
this, and he fell silent for a moment.
Its not possible, its too dangerous outside.
Im not afraid of danger! As long as you take me, Im not afraid of anything!
Ding Yuqin quickly spoke.
Wang Tao fell silent again, then said:
Forgive my bluntness, but sister-in-law, youre too weak physically. Going
out with me, youd only be a burden.
Hearing this, Ding Yuqins face turned paler and paler.
Then she bit her lower lip as if making up her mind, a mix of fear and feigned
seduction in her voice:
As long as you take sister-in-law with you, Ill do anything you ask of me please!
Wang Tao continued to stay silent. But he furrowed his brow, as if in thought.
Seeing that her words seemed to have an effect, Ding Yuqins hope was reignited.
If one could live, nobody would choose death.
But Wang Taos next words seemed to sentence her to death.
Sorry, I still think its better for sister-in-law to stay at your home. Lets not
talk about this anymore, lets eat.
Wang Tao withdrew his hand from Ding Yuqins.
Not talk about it? How could they not talk about it! Ding Yuqin was not even thirty years old, she had a whole beautiful life ahead of her, she didnt want to
die!
Ding Yuqins face was the picture of despair.
Looking at the lavish spread of food before her, she simply couldnt eat
Although Wang Tao had a big appetite, he ate quickly.
Before Ding Yuqin could even come to her senses, he had finished eating. Then
he stood up, ready to go and pack his gear.
Suddenly there was a thump.
Ding Yuqin knelt down in front of Wang Tao, desperately hugging his legs, her eyes welled with tears as she said:
Wang Tao, I wont hold you back! Really, I swear! If theres a danger you cant handle, just leave me behind! I just hope that when you have spare strength, you can protect me for old times sake, for Brother Zhaos sake, Im begging you! Please
Looking down at Ding Yuqin kneeling before him, there was indeed a perverse thrill.
But Wang Tao didnt plan to continue scaring her, as her HP was nearly depleted. In just this short time, her HP had dropped by twenty or thirty scaring her further might actually kill her.
So, Wang Tao crouched down, intending to pat Ding Yuqin on the shoulder. But she might have misunderstood his gesture, suddenly grabbing Wang Taos hand and pressing it against her face, her voice choked:
Wang Tao, as long you dont abandon sister-in-law, I will repay you by working like an ox or horse in the future
Feeling the softness in his hand, Wang Tao gently wiped her tears away.
Looking at her frightened and even despairing gaze, Wang Tao showed a trace
of confusion and said:
Sister-in-law, when did I say I was going to abandon you?
You, you said you were going out, you said I was a burden, you wouldnt take me with you, isnt that abandoning me sob sob
I said Im leaving the neighborhood to look for diesel outside, to power the homes diesel generator. Such a dangerous task, if I took you, wouldnt you be a burden?
I ?n
Of course, if you really wish to come with me, I will respect your decision. Get ready, and lets leave right now.
Having said that, Wang Tao stood up and began to put on his gear, leaving
Ding Yuqin in a daze.
It seemed like a moment yet also an eternity before Ding Yuqin hurriedly got up, trotted behind Wang Tao, and started with a mix of excitement and disbelief:
Wang Tao, are you serious? Youre just going out for supplies, and youll come back, right? You wont leave me behind
Wang Tao twisted his body, his face showing some displeasure.
Sister-in-law, are you doubting my words, not believing me?
NO, no, not at all, I didnt doubt you! I believe! I definitely believe you! Im just, just too excited
Ding Yuqin quickly brought her hands together in prayer and bowed to Wang
Tao.
Alright, sister-in-law, hurry up and eat. Were leaving soon.
Ah, leaving? Where to?
Of course, to look for diesel. Didnt you say you wanted to come with me?
Hurry up, we want to leave early and return early.
II II
To be honest, she still wasnt completely sure whether Wang Taos words were true or if it was possible for him to just leave and never come back.
If she went with Wang Tao, then even if he really left, she wouldnt be alone here.
But Wang Tao didnt seem to be deceiving her, especially since he had always been so good to her before, he probably wouldnt lie. If she really went out to look for supplies with Wang Tao, the danger would be too great, far less safe than waiting at home, and indeed she might become a burden to Wang Tao
After contemplating for a few seconds, Ding Yuqin, clutching the hem of her dress and looking down somewhat embarrassed, said:
I, I Ill just wait for you at home
Sister-in-law, do you want to come out with me or wait at home?
Ill wait for you to come back!
Ding Yuqin didnt hesitate this time and immediately spoke up.
Alright then. Make sure you stay at home and dont run around.
Mmhmm! Ill help you with your gear!
Ding Yuqin wiped her eyes, not minding the makeup that was slightly smeared, and hurriedly went to help Wang Tao.
After they finished preparing, Wang Tao handed several packs of instant noodles to Ding Yuqin.
I think I should be able to come back by tonight at the latest, but I cant be too sure. Take this food for now, in case I really get delayed, so you wont go hungry.
Thank you!
Ding Yuqin hurriedly took them.
Alright, lets go.
Wang Tao and Ding Yuqin left the house together. After watching Ding Yuqin return to her own home, Wang Tao continued downstairs.
Wang Tao, you must come back safely!
From behind, Ding Yuqin opened a crack in the door and called out softly with a hint of worry.
She was not sure whether she was more worried about Wang Tao getting hurt or the possibility that he might not return at all.
Mm.
Wang Tao waved his hand.
When he reached the bottom of the building, he didnt go out immediately but first went to unit 201. He cracked open a window slightly, there was no security grille here. If there was someone blocking the main entrance when he returned, he could climb in through this window.
Although it was unlikely to be needed, it was better to be prepared for any eventuality.
As he left, probably hearing the noise, the balding uncle also came out. He was surprised to see Wang Tao fully Armed .
Young man, are you going out?
Yeah. Were running low on supplies at home, need to go out and look for some.
Although his home still had quite a bit of supplies, his consumption was also substantial, so saying they were running low was not far from the truth.
There are two of you at home, thats a lot of consumption indeed!
The balding uncle had seen Wang Tao and Ding Yuqin act together before and thought Ding Yuqin was Wang Taos girlfriend.
Although they live in the same building, its not unusual for residents not to know each other well..
