Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 444: Mundane Reaction

"Qingqing, did you hear that?"

"Qingqing, please answer me, let me know you’re still safe, Qingqing?"

She was also a bit panicked, fearing that something had actually happened, and that they had lost another companion.

Brother Song, hearing the noise, came out too.

"What happened?"

"No response, and the door isn’t opened, could something have gone wrong!"

Hearing her say this, Song Yi also understood what the worry was about.

"Step back—"

He asked the two to step back as he was about to kick the door down.

Just as he had assumed the position, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Immediately after, Fan Qing stood at the doorway.

Her eyes were red and swollen, she must have been crying for a long time.

"Brother Song, Sister Yuan, Sister Mianmian, I’m all right."

She must not have spoken for a long time, as her voice was hoarse.

Jhiang Yuan gave Song Yi a look, and he went back.

Ye Mianmian picked up the thermal jug at the door and followed her into the room.

Inside, Zhang Kaiyang had already put on clean clothes.

His face was tidy, and he lay on the bed as if he were asleep.

Ye Mianmian went over, poured a cup of water, and brought it to her.

"Qingqing, don’t be like this, have some water.

Kaiyang would be heartbroken to see you like this, he really cares about you."

Fan Qing touched his face, and a tear fell involuntarily.

"Yes, he cared about me the most.

Just like before, he would do anything I asked.

He would buy me breakfast, accompany me to class, and work with me on experiments.

Everyone said that he was like a shadow, my little follower."

Fan Qing did not take the water, instead, she started talking to herself.

The two were college sweethearts, and must have done these things countless times.

"Later, we broke up, and I asked him to save me.

He was utterly devoted, I was truly the only one in his heart."

The two listened silently, not knowing what to say.

After all, they couldn’t get a word in.

Zhang Kaiyang’s feelings for her were evident to everyone.

It’s hard to love someone, and loving someone for a long time is even harder.

But Zhang Kaiyang managed it, and this sincerity was priceless to Fan Qing.

"Qingqing, don’t think too much.

People cannot be brought back from the dead, we must look forward."

Jhiang Yuan’s voice was also filled with sorrow.

However, the hurt for Fan Qing was much greater.

"Sister Yuan, I know, don’t worry about me."

As she spoke, she turned around but remained sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Qingqing, have some water!"

Ye Mianmian offered her the water again, and this time she didn’t refuse.

"Thank you!"

After drinking, her throat felt much better immediately, and her voice normalized.

"Qingqing, if you’re up to it, may I ask what exactly happened to Kaiyang in the end?"

Seeing that she seemed okay, Jhiang Yuan asked.

After all, a worm suddenly appeared, which was too bizarre.

"I’m not very sure myself, I was just at the door checking outside when he suddenly started acting off.

By the time I got to him, he was in great distress and soon after that, I screamed for help."

With that said, it seemed she didn’t know either.

The issue fell into a vicious circle, others experienced a sudden onset.

His case was different yet there wasn’t any suspicious element.

There was only one person in that room at the time, even if there was a worm, where could it have come from.

The questions were mounting.

"Sister Yuan, I know you guys want to know the details.

But now, it’s not necessary anymore."

Kaiyang was already gone, even knowing that, what was the point anymore?"

After she spoke, she even forced a bitter smile.

"Qingqing～"

She wanted to say, there were still so many people outside.

Including themselves, it was better to clear things up.

But, facing her expression, better not.

Let’s talk about it later!

"Qingqing, I know you’re sad.

Kaiyang was infected, he needs to be cremated.

You carrying him back was an opportunity Jiang Yuan fought for.

Tomorrow noon is the latest time."

For some reason, saying these things, she felt a bit cruel.

However, this message had to be delivered.

Fan Qing’s reaction, was pretty much as she had anticipated.

Though reluctant, she ultimately didn’t make it difficult for everyone.

"Sister Yuan, don’t worry, before tomorrow noon, I will give everyone an explanation."

As she spoke, she touched Zhang Kaiyang’s face again.

Ye Mianmian also shed tears; she had spent a considerable amount of time with Zhang Kaiyang.

Before Fan Qing came, it was them who had lived together.

Compared to Jhiang Yuan and others, they were much closer.

"Qingqing, with Kaiyang gone, everyone is in pain.

You must pull yourself together, what he was most worried about was you.

Now that he’s gone, we will take care of you too."

Upon hearing her words, Fan Qing also lifted her head.

"Sister Mianmian, thank you.

I just feel bad, let me be alone for a while and I’ll be fine.

You guys go back, there’s nothing wrong.

By tomorrow noon, I’ll be fine and give him one last send-off.

By the way, could you give me some of your remaining makeup? I want to look presentable when I go.

Kaiyang always liked how I looked."

As she spoke, she glanced again at the person on the bed,

Ye Mianmian couldn’t possibly say no.

"Don’t worry, I’ll bring it over to you when I go back."

"Thank you, that would be great."

"Qingqing, here are some snacks and a tub of instant noodles.

I know you’re upset, but you still need to eat.

Otherwise, your body won’t be able to take it, you know?"

"Mm, Sister Yuan, don’t worry."

With everything said, the two saw no reason to stay any longer.

They left the room and directly went to Ye Mianmian’s.

"Sister Yuan, have a seat for a moment; I’ll take these things to her."

In her hands were her few remaining cosmetics, most of which Jhiang Yuan had given her.

"Mm, go ahead."

In the current situation, it was better to go along with her a bit.

Plus, Fan Qing’s emotions were relatively stable and had not collapsed as expected.

Ye Mianmian quickly returned, sitting on the bed with a heavy sigh.

"Sister Yuan, I suddenly remembered my grandma.

When she left, I was also like this, lifelessly drifting."

Jhiang Yuan patted her shoulder, it was indeed just like that at the time.

"Mianmian, don’t overthink it.

In the apocalypse, when one loses their closest person, such a reaction is normal.

Don’t think too much, whether it’s Grandma or Kaiyang, they both would want the people they cherished to live well."

At these words, Ye Mianmian nodded and broke into a smile.

"Sister Yuan, you don’t need to comfort me, I’ve already moved on.

It’s merely a bit emotional, Kaiyang has been with us since the very beginning.

Now that he’s gone, we’ve lost an important member, and everyone is upset."
