Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 108: It’s Heartfluttering

Bai Xiqin and the others carefully washed the bloodstains off their bodies by the pond.

Without any change of clothes, fortunately, Li Xue, a Water Ability User, controlled the water stains on the clothes to flow into the pond.

The clothes instantly stopped dripping water, becoming slightly damp but not dry.

This was already very good.

Li Xue, as a Water Ability User, had an extremely delicate control over water, already catching up to most water ability users.

It’s just that her awakening was too late and not powerful enough; if she had awakened before the apocalypse like the Bai Family, she would undoubtedly be a standout at the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

After the girls finished washing, they let Leng Yebai and the others go wash.

The smell of blood on them was too strong, which would attract zombies and zombie animals.

In the wilderness, zombies seemed rare, but caution was still a priority.

Captain Zhou stared at Li Xue without blinking, hesitating to speak.

He had never tried to chat up a girl.

He had only offered help to girls, which was not flirting.

"What are you staring at? Look again and I’ll gouge out your eyes!"

Li Xue pointed a kitchen knife at Captain Zhou’s neck, finally unable to hold back.

Why did Zhao Mimi’s undercover keep staring at her!

If it weren’t for needing to blend in at the safety base, she would have rallied her sisters to grab kitchen knives and cut him down!

The man, especially Captain Zhou, had a smackable face.

Despite his cultured image, those eyes looking at her seemed rogue-like.

It was infuriating!

"Will you dig it out yourself?"

Captain Zhou’s eyes brightened even more.

He thought there was hope!

Li Xue saying she’d gouge out his eyes herself was like saying she’d touch his eyes, which equated to admiring him.

It was like wanting to spend a lifetime together.

Hey, would having a daughter named Li Wa be enough?

Why not have a son too!

Good things come in pairs, with both a son and a daughter!

Captain Zhou’s mind flashed like a carousel, from children babbling to grandchildren growing strong.

Listen, what is that sound?

It’s the sound of a heartbeat.

It’s love~

"Are you sick?"

Li Xue couldn’t tell what Captain Zhou was thinking, always feeling that he had some hidden secret.

That secret must be extremely vile.

His face was that of a lovestruck fool.

Like he had an extra chromosome 21!

"I’m not sick, thank you for your concern, wait for me a bit, I need to quickly go wash the bloodstains off my body, please wait a moment!"

Captain Zhou was grinning from ear to ear.

Li Xue was already concerned whether he was sick.

This meant—she would marry no one but him!

Captain Zhou felt that the bloodstains all over him were too damaging to his image.

Better to wash them off quickly.

In case she couldn’t resist wanting to have a daughter with him first...

He could, any time!!!

He had never been so moved in his life, nor ever wanted to live for her before.

He’d seen countless girls throughout his life, done many things for them.

From elderly seniors to infants in swaddling clothes.

As long as they were female, with Nuwa True God above, he was always ready to give his life to save any girl.

Now, for Li Xue, for that moment of heart flutter.

He decided to cherish his life, to accompany this girl well in the limited time.

He felt that all girls in the world needed protection.

Only Li Xue was different; she needed his protection, his company, to care for her a lifetime!

Captain Zhou reluctantly waved at Li Xue, smiling foolishly, unwilling to turn around, walking backward towards the pond.

This way, he could steal a few more glances at his Xiao Xuexue~

He believed Xiao Xuexue also wanted to look at him a few more times!

Li Xue, looking at Captain Zhou with a lovesick face, tightened her grip on the kitchen knife by three notches.

She wished she could immediately slap his thirty-yard face with her twenty-yard kitchen knife!

"Xiao Xuexue, don’t miss me~!"

Captain Zhou diligently waved at Li Xue, his eyes sparkling, and his elegant gold-rimmed glasses couldn’t hide his dopey actions.

"Scram!"

Li Xue gritted her teeth, holding back from throwing the kitchen knife.

She suspected Captain Zhou of having a grand conspiracy.

Surely he was up to no good, intending to put her and her sisters to death!

Don’t let his cultured face fool you; he’s just a—

"Alright! Thanks for the concern!"

Captain Zhou chuckled as he hooked the corners of his mouth, eyes narrowing into slits under the gold-rimmed glasses.

His Xiao Xuexue wanted him to hurry up and wash off the bloodstains.

She was afraid he’d be uncomfortable with blood sticking to him.

This was concern!

Ah, sob sob sob...

Captain Zhou was instantly touched by himself.

For the first time, a girl cared so much about him.

Moved, he wanted to cry...

Captain Zhou quickly turned around, silently removing his gold-rimmed glasses, and dove into the pond with a splash.

The water slid past his eyes, spreading his tears of emotion throughout the pond.

Bai Yifan silently watched as Captain Zhou sank in the pond and spoke, "What’s up with him? Did Sister Li Xue scold him to tears?"

Leng Yebai coldly glanced at the bubbling spot, pondering in silence for a moment.

"Maybe he feels ashamed and wants to commit suicide." Leng Yebai was uncertain.

Getting cried over being told "scram" by a girl?

Such a fragile soul!

"So should we rescue him?" Bai Yifan glanced at the bubbling spot.

Captain Zhou had been underwater for almost a minute, still bubbling, not coming up.

Probably, maybe, surely, definitely he was drowning? 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I can’t swim." Leng Yebai remained calm.

He only saves Xiao Niu.

This is called hero saves the beauty!

"...Alright then!"

Bai Yifan took a deep breath and dove sharply at Captain Zhou’s bubbling spot.

Ten seconds passed...

Twenty seconds passed...

The once bubbling spot now produced even more bubbles.

Leng Yebai:!!!

Forget beauty saves hero, hero saves beauty.

Leng Yebai decisively jumped towards the bubbling spot.

If Xiao Fan drowned, his sister would surely kill him!!!!

Leng Yebai, face dark as iron, dragged Bai Yifan and Captain Zhou out of the water, throwing them to the shore.

"Ugh—"

Bai Yifan bent over, spitting out a large mouthful of water.

"Argh—"

Captain Zhou bent over, spitting out a large mouthful of water.

The two bent over, spitting water in synchronization, better at it than alpacas.

"Captain... Zhou, I... just went to save you, why did you... pull my hair for no reason?"

Bai Yifan weakly rolled his eyes.

He was just an inch away from an untimely death!

"So it was you who saved me!" Captain Zhou inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, "I just thought the short hair I saw was Xiao Xuexue’s. I thought I was dreaming, wanting to pull a strand of her hair before dying, so at least we could lie in the same grave!"

Bai Yifan:...

Grave with your grandpa!

After the farce, the group finally washed the bloodstains off their bodies.

Qí Queens eat zombies; their meat is inedible and addictive.

Set a fire and burned those Qí Queens to ash.
