"Is that...?" Zhou Shiqiu thought he was seeing things, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed Senior Chen.
"That’s what I meant when I said some see this apocalypse as an opportunity to reach certain peaks. That guy is a superpower user, and his treatment is different. Those two beauties are ordinary people who aren’t willing to work for themselves, so they find a sponsor to support them. It’s mutually consensual, as long as it doesn’t harm the interests or laws of the base, we don’t get involved," the staff member said indifferently. But clearly, he wasn’t fond of such situations.
Xu Yuxi and Zhou Shiqiu exchanged a glance, never expecting to encounter Senior Chen here.
"That guy, he’s from our school. Who would’ve thought..." Xu Yuxi lamented, "Before the apocalypse, the drama with rich men and mistresses now manifests this way. The apocalypse surely exposes a lot of people’s true nature, right? Shiqiu, didn’t an ’eye-blind’ person once say Senior Chen was a good guy?" Xu Yuxi said with a cynical tone, hoping to quash Zhou Shiqiu’s erroneous infatuation.
After saying this, Xu Yuxi wondered if her words were too harsh. After all, this person might very well be Zhou Shiqiu’s vague first love, and reality was this cruel.
"Exactly, I don’t know who the eye-blind was, so dumb. If it were me, I’d know better. I have piercing eyes, and even if I were blind, I wouldn’t fancy such trash," Zhou Shiqiu indignantly said.
Xu Yuxi looked at Zhou Shiqiu in disbelief, then secretly gave her a thumbs-up. This person, harsh even on herself!
"He’s from your school?" Zhang Qiang asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, a grade above us, almost graduated, used to intern at my dad’s company," Xu Yuxi briefly replied.
Senior Chen seemed to have noticed them too, letting his two women wait at a distance while he came over to greet them.
"Xu Yuxi, Zhou Shiqiu, you’re here too. It’s great to see you both safe. Also, Zhou Shiqiu, thank you for the apocalypse survival guide you sent me before, thank you." Senior Chen approached, smiling and talking to Xu Yuxi and Zhou Shiqiu, specifically thanking Zhou Shiqiu.
Xu Yuxi looked at Zhou Shiqiu, raising an eyebrow, her gaze meaningful.
"No need to thank me, I sent a copy to everyone in my contacts. I’m happy that it helped you," Zhou Shiqiu replied with a slight smile, confidently.
"If you ever have any difficulties, remember to come to me. I live at..." Senior Chen provided his address. However, Xu Yuxi and Zhou Shiqiu obviously weren’t listening carefully, nor did they remember it.
"Times are so chaotic now, it’s not easy for you two girls. Remember to reach out if you’re in trouble," Senior Chen insisted.
"No need, we can take care of ourselves," Xu Yuxi said with a sarcastic smile, glancing at the people behind him, "Senior Chen, your two beauties are still waiting for you, better not keep them waiting too long."
Senior Chen chuckled, not at all embarrassed, and rather frankly said, "It’s not easy for them to survive. They found me, so of course, I’ll kindly take them in. In these chaotic times, we should help whoever we can, right?"
"We have stuff to do, we’ll be going now." Xu Yuxi, afraid she’d vomit if she looked at Senior Chen any longer, quickly said.
The staff member, after hearing what Senior Chen said, also looked displeased. It was the first time he heard such shameless words spoken in such a righteous manner, truly a "talent."
