Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Post-apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 26) Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Post-apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 26) As soon as she stepped out of her room, Gu Shengyin could faintly hear voices coming from the living room.
There seemed to be an argument, and she recognized one of the voices as her third brother, Li Minglang, while the other, a deep voice, belonged to Lei Ting.
Looking over, she saw that her parents were there, with Lei Ting sitting opposite the elderly couple, talking about something.
Gu Shengyin listened closely and realized that they were actually discussing matters concerning her.
Lei Ting had laid his cards on the table with her parents.
“Uncle, Auntie, I know that I didn’t have a good reputation in the past, and to some extent, that’s on me, I won’t deny it. I’m not afraid of being shamed today, Lei Ting has lived for almost thirty years and has never touched another woman. Those women, they haven’t even come close to my body. I swear that I will always cherish Sheng Xi…”
As a result, Li Minglang was flabbergasted and blurted out, “You… don’t have a problem, do you?”
“Pfft!” Gu Shengyin couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
At this, everyone in the living room turned their gaze towards her.
Gu Shengyin didn’t hide, but walked out confidently and took a seat beside Lei Ting without any hesitation, taking his hand.
“Dad, Mom. I like him and want to spend my life with him.” She didn’t say any superfluous, sensational words, but expressed her stance simply and directly.
Lei Ting was dizzy with this sudden happiness. Although he had noticed Gu Shengyin’s feelings for him during the trip to the Antarctic, he had never imagined he would hear the girl’s confession under such circumstances.
“Baby~” He was so excited that he even blurted out the nickname he had always wanted to call her.
Gu Shengyin looked at him with a smile. If it weren’t for the daunting task of saving the world, she might want to give him a good lesson, but now, not knowing how much longer she could stay in this world, there was no point in their toying with each other anymore.
In the end, Mr. and Mrs. Li didn’t say much more. They ultimately cared most about their daughter’s feelings; as long as their daughter was happy, they wouldn’t interfere too much.
Only Li Minglang continued to needle Lei Ting, who looked like he could pick a bone in an egg. Lei Ting didn’t argue with his brother-in-law–how could he, having taken his precious sister away?
Meanwhile, the team heading to Antarctic shared their findings and gains with the base. Zhong Lingyu had become a regular visitor at the base, responsible for taking the coffin out of the space in real-time for the base researchers to study, and ensuring that the coffin did not stay too long in the base to avoid being sensed by the zombies.
Gu Shengyin still held a glimmer of hope that if the research yielded results after several attempts, maybe she wouldn’t need to be the savior anymore?
However, the news her father brought back made her realize that with Earth’s current level of technology, analyzing and solving the problem was nothing short of a pipe dream.
That day, both she and Lei Ting, uncharacteristically, had no missions.
Lei Ting held her hand as they strolled through the area of the base where ordinary people gathered.
Gu Shengyin looked at these people, most of them in tattered clothes, gaunt and sallow, and even the children just sat quietly by their parents’ side, lacking the vivacity they had before the apocalypse.
Perhaps her pity was too evident, for Lei Ting comforted her, “Actually, they’re already considered fortunate. At least they have their lives and basic necessities guaranteed inside the base. It’s those common people struggling outside who are truly pitiable.”
