343 Those Who Are Stupid Are Afraid of Those Who Don’t Care About Their Lives
“At that time, I thought that I was going to die. After all, at this time, we wouldn’t be able to find vaccines or shots. I was afraid that I would be infected. But Qing Ju told me not to be afraid and that she could cure me. After that, she took out the nutrition chamber and let me lie in it. It didn’t take long for the injury on my leg to completely heal. If it weren’t for the bloodstains on my clothes and the ground, I would have even suspected that I was dreaming!”
Young Master Wang said with a blissful smile on his face. Just by looking at the expression on his face, one could tell that that period of time was very warm and happy for him. Although Young Master Wang’s words implied that Qing Ju was a kind and good person, in Du Yue’s eyes, she was a fool. A person who had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with the place and its people dared to take out their nutrition chamber to treat Young Master Wang’s injuries. If she was not stupid, then what was she?
Just as Du Yue was thinking about it, she saw Young Master Wang looking over. Young Master Wang smiled shyly at her. “Qing Ju’s behavior is very silly in your eyes, right? Actually, I had the same thoughts as you at that time. I also thought that she was really a brainless person. I didn’t even have to ask her anything. She just told me about her background. Although she’s a little silly, I think she’s cute. She’s an innocent and kind girl.
“I told her not to tell others about her background so easily in the future, lest she was plotted against by bad people. She had agreed readily at the time, but later on, whenever she met someone who was injured, she would still reach out to help. I knew that I couldn’t change her, so I could only take care of her and protect her silently. However, it didn’t take long for An Wu to find out about her nutrition chamber. Those people want to take her away, while I wanted her to hide.
“She was unwilling, and in the end… An Wu took her away.”
At this point, Young Master Wang’s mood completely sank. He could not hide the regret on his face. “If I had known that this would happen, I would have hidden her no matter how much she objected. Although she would lose her freedom, it’s still much better than her being captured by An Wu. I don’t even know whether she’s alive or dead now…” The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. In the end, he could not continue. Young Master Wang looked a little pitiful, but Du Yue could not express too much sympathy for him.
Qing Ju came to an unfamiliar place from the interstellar and did not know how to hide her abilities. Without the ability to protect herself, she kept helping others and exposed herself to danger. As for Young Master Wang, after he knew that Qing Ju was different and decided to protect her, his heart still softened in the end and he allowed An Wu to capture her. It could only be said that they were not smart enough, which led to the current outcome.
Young Master Wang had been immersed in regret. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Du Yue and He Xing. “I’m really sorry. Am I being too long-winded?”
Du Yue shook her head. “It’s fine. If you want to say it, then say it. We can’t get out now anyway.”
If it was just her and He Xing, they could watch variety shows or watch dramas. Now that Young Master Wang and the others were here, they could not find any other way to kill time. Instead of everyone staring blankly here, it was better to listen to the story of Young Master Wang and Qing Ju.
Young Master Wang smiled bitterly. “Actually, it’s all my fault. If I had been more capable, Qing Ju would not have been captured by An Wu, and she would still be by my side. I don’t even know where she is now.”
Looking at Young Master Wang’s red eyes, Du Yue could not help but say, “You can go directly to An Wu, put a knife against his throat, and ask him to let Qing Ju go. Haven’t you heard of this saying? Those who are arrogant are afraid of those who are stupid, and those who are stupid are afraid of those who don’t care about their lives. As long as you’re brave enough, he might be afraid of you.”
Hearing Du Yue’s words, Young Master Wang looked over with his mouth agape. “Rush over to find him?”
“Yes, are you afraid?”
Young Master Wang shook his head repeatedly. “I’m not afraid. It’s just that if I bring people with me, I might be discovered by An Wu’s subordinates before I even see him. They have more people, and we definitely won’t have any advantage in a fight. My life isn’t worth much, but I can’t drag others down with me.”
Young Master Wang’s words made sense. Du Yue nodded slightly and did not say anything else. Then, she turned to look at the shutter door. She could still hear the sound of sand hitting the door, and it was even louder than before. Clearly, the wind was getting stronger. Even before the apocalypse, sandstorms would last for at least three to five days. Not to mention that they were in the apocalypse, and anything unbelievable could happen.
