"Sister Xiaoxue, what's wrong with dad today? Why do you seem to be very happy? What happened?"

In the living room, Shishi asked in confusion as she listened to the pleasant humming sound from the kitchen.

Even if the cheerful mood is separated by a kitchen door, it seems so obvious that even the little girl can see that Chu Donglin today is a little different from usual.

In the past, Chu Donglin always felt a little heavy every time he went home.

After all, struggling to survive in this dark end of the world, living a life where no one knows when bad luck and death will come to their heads. Few people can maintain a happy mood every day.

The separation from family, the separation from friends, everything that once had suddenly become fragmented. The feeling was like a person being subjected to the most cruel torture, and all his relatives and friends were executed, leaving him alone in the deserted world of no one, living a life of stagnation with a group of monsters.

That feeling is enough to make everyone feel uncomfortable.

Even though Chu Donglin intentionally or unintentionally covered up his emotions and did not want that negative emotion to affect the little girl, the keen little girl still felt this emotion.

Although Shishi can no longer remember what happened before, she always cared about everything about Chu Donglin. She cared about Chu Donglin, just like Chu Donglin cared about her, it was pure without any impurities.

In such a long time, the only time that Chu Donglin showed a happy and relaxed smile was the only time he brought Xiaoxue back, washed and dressed her up, and looked at the neatly dressed girl.

But Chu Donglin's unusual smile today can be seen even by a slow person, let alone that he has been caring about Chu Donglin's Shishi.

As soon as he got home, Chu Donglin couldn't help but pick up Shishi and laughed and walked around several times. The inexplicable ecstasy was as if he had picked up some treasure.

To be honest, Chu Donglin's abnormal emotions made the little girl a little scared, and she didn't know what was going on.

She asked, reached out and gently pulled Xiaoxue's sleeve, wanting to get an answer.

But the girl sitting in front of her was as dull and stiff as a sculpture, without any response to her inquiry.

This reaction made the little girl a little discouraged.

However, the little girl's troubles were quickly answered.

"Shishi, I'm going out tonight. Can you stay at home with your sister Xiaoxue?"

Chu Donglin walked out of the kitchen with the dishes and arranged the food one by one on the dining table, and said to the little girl.

Shishi was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "Dad, are you going out?"

"Well, today I learned about a friend's whereabouts and I have to go and see her situation, so I'm going out tonight."

"But... Dad, isn't it very dangerous outside at night?"

Shishi looked at Chu Donglin worriedly and said, "What you said is that there are all second-level zombies outside at night, so it is unsafe to run out casually."

"I feel at ease, just the group of second-level zombies outside, I'm not qualified to kill me. If I didn't want to cause trouble for myself, I wouldn't have hid at home every night and didn't go out."

He rubbed the little girl's hair in a doting way, and Chu Donglin said with a smile, "So you just wait for me to come back at home, I will let Xiaoxue stay to protect you."

The little girl frowned and hugged Chu Donglin's arm, "Sister Xiaoxue won't go with you?"

"Didn't I say it? I want Xiaoxue to stay and protect you. The zombies are rampant at this big night. How can I rest assured if you stay at home alone?"

"But I don't feel at ease to let my father run out alone," the little girl hugged Chu Donglin's hand tightly, and looked like she didn't want to let go if she grabbed it. "If you really want to go, then leave tomorrow morning, and Shishi would never stop you."

"Don't you understand the reason why there are so many dreams in the night? Little girl, are you so unconfident in me?"

He smiled and gave the little girl a thunderous silence. Chu Donglin smiled and said, "After all, I am very powerful. It's just a joke that a mere second-level zombie wants to keep me."

But no matter what Chu Donglin said, the little girl refused to let go and kept holding Chu Donglin's arm tightly and refused to let him leave.

"Okay OK, you won."

Chu Donglin had no choice but to raise his hand to surrender, "How do you want to let me go?"

The little girl wrinkled her nose cutely and snorted, "I want Dad, you take me with me."

"No, right? It's so messy outside, you ask me to take you with me?" Chu Donglin looked at Shishi strangely and asked, "Shishi are you kidding?"

This kind of nonsense that causes trouble is not the style of a little girl.

"Then you take Sister Xiaoxue away too. Anyway, I won't let my father go out alone at night," the little girl looked at Chu Donglin and said stubbornly.

OK, I still want me to take Xiaoxue away...

Chu Donglin sighed speechlessly, "You just don't have confidence in me? I feel that if I go out alone, I can't resist those zombies? Do you have to protect Xiaoxue?"

"Anyway, I won't let my dad go out alone at night."

Looking at the little girl's stubborn and persistent eyes, Chu Donglin could only raise his hand to surrender helplessly, "Okay, okay, you win, I surrender and admit defeat. Anyway, I must go to see Xin'er tonight, and you can't stop it no matter how you say... Tell me, little girl, how do you want to let me go?"

"Xin'er? The girl's name?"

Shishi frowned and keenly smelled the unusual smell, "Dad, is the person you are looking for?"

"Yeah, right, is there any problem?"

"Is she pretty?"

"Of course it's pretty. As for how beautiful it is, you will know when you see her in the future."

"Is Sister Xiaoxue beautiful?"

"Well... cough cough..." Chu Donglin looked at Xiaoxue beside him and coughed dryly, saying, "Didn't you say that? You will know when you see her in the future."

"So dad, do you like her?"

"I like it? Of course I like it. That girl Xin'er is so well-behaved...uh...Shishi? Why are you looking at me with this kind of eyes?"

The little girl raised her head stubbornly, stared at Chu Donglin with her watery eyes widened, and refused to look away, "Dad, do you want to be with her and marry her as your wife?"

As she said that, the little girl sniffed, as if she was feeling a little uncomfortable, "Will she become Shishi's mother? In the future, she will give birth to your child with Dad, and then abuse Shishi when Dad, you are not at home, and will not give Shishi food to eat, so that Shishi sleeps in the corridor and gets frozen?"

"…………Where did you come from these messy associations?"

The little girl's narration made Chu Donglin laugh and cry, "You believe in the things in fairy tales? How can there be so many vicious stepmothers in reality?"
