Chapter 346: Chapter 345 Wife Smells Good (Part 2) Chapter 346: Chapter 345 Wife Smells Good (Part 2) After taking everything out, Su Shu said, âZelin, I have something to tell you; there seem to be some stored food, the vacuum-packed type, in our Linjiang home. Iâm thinking of going back there to see if those things are still there.â
Zelin looked up, âEven if they are, after such a long time, they might have already been scavenged by people outside. Are you sure you want to go?â
Sitting back down at the dining table, Su Shu picked up her rice bowl and ate while talking to him, âYes, I want to take a look. We have nothing else to do in the safety zone anyway. If the stuff at home hasnât been scavenged, wouldnât we have quite a bit more food?â
Zelin thought it over carefully and didnât object. Just like Su Shu said, if there was indeed food stored from before the Apocalypse at their Linjiang home, that would be more valuable than anything.
Su Shu kept observing Zelinâs reaction, thinking to herself that their home near Linjiang definitely had nothing left. Anything important she had taken with Xiaoâai when they left and had stowed it all away into her âspace.â
The best scenario would be if Zelin could accompany her there, not only for safety but also to legitimately bring back the items from her âspaceâ to the safety zone.
She had never thought about getting married so early before. Xiaoâai couldnât speak but was very well-behaved, and how they lived behind closed doors was unknown to others.
After marrying Zelin, she had been conflicted about whether to tell him about the âspaceâ she possessed or not, and after much thought, she hadnât come to a conclusion.
It wasnât that she wanted to keep her âspaceâ and supplies a secret from him because she didnât want to tell him; it was just that Zelin was different from other men, always doing things beyond ordinary peopleâs expectations.
You might think he would act one way, but he would invariably do the opposite.
He was a soldier, and from birth, his innate sense of duty had never changed. In his past life, he had even sacrificed himself for his country, abandoning her in the process. How could she know, in this life, he wouldnât do the same?
The cruelty of the Apocalypse had already been mitigated as much as possible by everyone who could help, but despite that, the inevitable crises continued to arise.
The first winter of the Apocalypse was fast approaching, and the trials of survival would expose many issues. The government-supported food system was already starting to struggle.
At such a time, she didnât know if Zelin, upon seeing the hardship of the people in his jurisdiction, would soften his heart and ask her to take something out of the âspace.â
The Zelin before her now was starkly different in attitude from the one in her previous life. If there was a time when he resembled the man she once knew, it was during those times outside, when she was with Shen Han.
Silent, wordless, with a grave expression, as if all his attitudes and thoughts were hidden deep within his dark pupils.
That kind of distance suddenly drawn, yet not letting her be in danger, could make her vividly aware.
Even if the Zelin sitting before her now seemed lazy, mild, clever, crafty, and even a bit rogue-like, deep down, he was always a soldier, a monumental figure prepared to risk his life for his country without second thoughts.
Su Shu lacked absolute confidence in herself.
She dared not gamble in front of Zelin; when her and the country, even the people, were weighed on the same scale, she could not predict what he would choose.
So, she still quietly shelved the issue of the âspace.â
She thought, she would fully support his ideals, but that didnât mean sacrificing their home to do so.
He could, but she couldnât!
She couldnât in her past life, and in this life, she simply didnât want to see Zelin die!
