Jun Yueyue slept soundly until she was woken up by a knock on the door the next morning.
She kept her phone on silent, and Fang Anyan started calling around 7 a.m., but no one answered by 8 a.m., so he ran to the door and knocked, looking very agitated.
Jun Yueyue was still half asleep when she heard the banging on the door. She struggled to get up, put on her pajamas, closed her eyes, and almost groped her way to the door to open it.
”Are you two dead pigs?!” Fang Anyan started yelling as soon as he saw Jun Yueyue. Jun Yueyue was already used to his daily outbursts, so she opened the door slightly, yawned, and walked towards the bedroom.
Fang Anyu was still asleep, sleeping very soundly. At this moment, Jun Yueyue was a little envious. Being deaf had its advantages; no sound could disturb him.
Finally, Fang Anyan woke Fang Anyu up. The four of them washed up and appeared at the breakfast table in the upstairs buffet restaurant. Fang Anyu and Jun Yueyue still looked sleepy, while Fang Anyan and Jun Yu looked quite energetic. However, the dark circles under their eyes proved that the two of them had a terrible night that no one else could tell about.
As breakfast entered our mouths, our taste buds were instantly refreshed, and the four of us sat by the window in a rare moment of harmony and silence.
Just as Fang Anyu was about to reach for the sixth bun, Fang Anyan was about to open his mouth when he saw Jun Yueyue place her hand accurately on Fang Anyu’s hand without even turning her head.
Once Fang Anyu starts eating something he particularly likes, it’s not easy to get him to stop. Fang Anyan often has to persuade him several times before he can stop. This morning, the sweet custard bun was especially appealing to Fang Anyu.
But when Jun Yueyue placed her hand on his, Fang Anyu really stopped, licked his lips, looked at the plate, and didn’t move at all.
Fang Anyan paused in his porridge-drinking, a feeling he couldn’t quite describe welling up inside him. He looked at Jun Yueyue with a complicated expression, because she seemed so natural.
It felt so natural, as if we had been living together for a very, very long time.
After breakfast, the four of them got into the car. Fang Anyan hadn’t slept well at all last night, and his eyes were especially sore from driving. He looked at Jun Yueyue, who was eating her fill in the back seat and laughing with her brother while writing something in a notebook, and he felt increasingly unhappy!
Last night, he and Junyu slept in the living room, one in the bed and the other in the living room. The sofa in the living room was so uncomfortable that he couldn’t stretch his legs at all.
After driving for more than two hours, once they got off the highway and entered the country road, Fang Anyan parked the car on the side of the road, opened the back door and said to Jun Yueyue, “You drive, I want to take a nap.”
Seeing his panda eyes, Jun Yueyue readily agreed, but when she got out of the back of the car, Fang Anyu followed her out…
Fang Anyan couldn’t even hold on, and in the end, Jun Yueyue drove while Fang Anyu sat in the passenger seat. The two awkward Fang Anyan and Jun Yu, who didn’t know what to do with their hands and feet, also sat in the back seat at the same time.
Fang Anyan was so sleepy that he didn’t have the energy to be embarrassed. He fastened Jun Yu’s seatbelt, but before he could even comfortably lean back in his seat, he was suddenly jerked backward, almost breaking his neck.
Jun Yueyue floored the accelerator, and the car shot forward with a whoosh—”What are you doing! Slow down!” Fang Anyan’s shout was drowned out by the buzzing engine. Jun Yueyue ignored him, glanced at the navigation, and then gripped the steering wheel, feeling a long-lost excitement.
In the apocalypse, she was a master at driving recklessly through zombies. She enjoyed the feeling of crushing zombies under her wheels and sending them flying into the sky, just like how no one in the apocalypse didn’t want to end their endless, precarious lives.
Of course, she is also more adept at driving like an airplane on all kinds of dangerous roads, dodging all kinds of obstacles. Once she touches the steering wheel, no living or inanimate object can surpass her!
Jun Yueyue was completely focused, driving the car recklessly at high speed. Fang Anyan, who was in the back, couldn’t even sleep. He could only guarantee that his head wouldn’t be smashed open by the car roof, thanks to his strong arms.
He could do it, but Jun Yu couldn’t. Fang Anyan called out to Jun Yueyue a few times, but she wouldn’t listen. He was furious with a stern face. Seeing that Jun Yu was really uncomfortable from being shaken, he grabbed the side of the car with one hand and put his arm around Jun Yu with the other, pulling her into his arms so that she wouldn’t be uncomfortable from the seatbelt.
Looking in the rearview mirror, Jun Yueyue saw that and was winking at Jun Yu, and Jun Yu’s face turned red again. Fang Anyan glared at her fiercely, but Jun Yueyue turned her gaze away.
These rural roads are far from any surveillance cameras. Jun Yueyue enjoyed a thrilling drive for a while, then turned to look at Fang Anyu. The two in the back seat were fine; Fang Anyan wouldn’t want Jun Yu to be upset. She was more concerned about whether Fang Anyu would be upset.
As soon as she turned her head, Fang Anyu also turned her head, and their eyes met in mid-air. Jun Yueyue swore that she saw excitement in Fang Anyu’s eyes!
That’s right! What boy doesn’t love speed and pushing the limits!
Encouraged, Jun Yueyue, like a peacock with its tail held high, began to show off her skills, which made Fang Anyan curse, while Fang Anyu’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
They finally got out of the country road. What they expected to be an hour and a half journey was sped out by Jun Yueyue in just over forty minutes. Before turning onto the main road, Jun Yueyue parked the car on the side of the road. Fang Anyan got out and started gagging against the car door. Jun Yu was okay as she lay on his lap the whole time, but he had to maintain his balance and take care of Jun Yu, which was quite painful for him.
”You’re fucking crazy… Ugh…” Fang Anyan clung to the car door and vomited several times, unable to speak.
Jun Yueyue looked at Fang Anyu getting off the car, reached out and took his notebook—”You need to pee, right? Go pee. I see there’s a big tree over there, and it even has a tree hole. Perfect.”
Fang Anyu didn’t seem to be in any discomfort at all. He was covered in sweat. He knew this was called racing, but he had never experienced it before.
He looked at Jun Yueyue with eyes, which had evolved from the crystal cores of two second-tier zombies to those of a third-tier zombie, and they were burning brightly.
He took the notebook, looked down at it for a while, and then actually went to pee in the nearby woods. Jun Yueyue watched him from behind, and then laughed. He really did as she jokingly suggested, going to the big tree with the hole in its trunk…
Jun Yueyue knew without even looking that he would obediently aim at the tree hole.
Fang Anyan drank some water and finally calmed down a bit. He walked over to Jun Yueyue’s side, about to get angry, when Jun Yueyue interrupted him, “Have you noticed that your brother’s reactions seem to be much faster?”
Jun Yueyue said, “His comprehension has also improved. Before, it would take me more than ten minutes to get a reply from him, but now he can reply to me in less than two minutes.”
Fang Anyan’s anger was interrupted, and he paused for a moment before saying, “Is that so?”
“Yes.” Jun Yueyue nodded, then showed Fang Anyan her notebook, “Look how obedient your brother is, that tree he’s standing on has a hole in it…”
”Junyue! Are you sick?!” Fang Anyan slapped the notebook down. “I’ve noticed you’re getting sicker and sicker lately. You should go back and get yourself checked out at the Third Hospital!”
The Third Hospital is a mental hospital in Qiuhai City. Jun Yueyue had read the novel, and for a period of time, the female supporting character she transmigrated into was sent there by the male and female protagonists.
Jun Yueyue clicked her tongue, leaned against the car, and laughed, “Don’t be stingy, I didn’t scratch your car at all just now. See for yourself if you don’t believe me.”
Fang Anyan sneered, “You’re involved in a fight with my brother, and now you’re racing cars. You’re quite skilled at it. You’re truly a master of all vices!”
When Jun Yueyue saw Fang Anyu return, she deliberately raised her voice and said to Fang Anyan, “Why do you always look like you’re carrying a bag? Is it because I haven’t told you I love you or been bothering you lately that you’re feeling down?”
Jun Yueyue had used this trick several times, but Fang Anyan wasn’t fooled anymore. His brother couldn’t hear him, so he continued to scoff at Jun Yueyue, “Don’t think I don’t know what tricks you’re playing. Playing hard to get won’t work on me.”
Jun Yueyue: …You really have a lot of confidence.
”Do you really want to see me perform some tricks?” She sighed, quickly grabbed Fang Anyan’s hand and put it around her waist, then flipped him around and slammed him against the car with a “thud,” making it look as if Fang Anyan was holding her and not letting her go.
Jun Yueyue smiled and said wickedly, “This is what you call playing tricks.”
As she spoke, she put one hand behind her back, pressing down hard on Fang Anyan to prevent him from pulling away, and grabbed at Fang Anyu who was walking towards her, her face full of pleading, “Anyu! Look what your brother is doing! Help me—”
Fang Anyu couldn’t hear, but he could see!
Jun Yu, sitting in the car, watched and listened to the conversation between the two and Jun Yueyue’s sudden actions, completely dumbfounded. Fang Anyan, on the other hand, reacted quickly, but no one could explain what he had seen to a deaf person in just a few words, especially since Jun Yueyue had even made a token struggle before throwing herself into Fang Anyu’s arms…
Fang Anyan met Fang Anyu’s gaze, which was devoid of any emotion and seemed light, yet it made him feel as if an entire mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.
He could only grit his teeth and glare at the back of Jun Yueyue’s head, then quickly write in the notebook and hand it to his brother.
But when the group had rested and set off again, Fang Anyu did not reply to Fang Anyan. It was unclear whether he understood Fang Anyan’s meaning or whether he believed him or not.
After doing something bad, Jun Yueyue slumped in the back seat, resting her head on Fang Anyu’s legs and lying comfortably. Fang Anyan would look back from time to time, but he never met his brother’s gaze in the rearview mirror.
He loosened his tie, becoming even more agitated.
The car sped along the highway. In the evening, the four of them stopped about 400 miles from Xiude Town, planning to have dinner before setting off again.
There are no more bustling cities in this area. The place we stayed was a small town. After searching for a while, we found a restaurant that looked reasonably well-decorated. A few of us asked for a private room and started ordering.
The food was served very slowly. Midway through, Jun Yueyue took Jun Yu to the restroom. In the cramped bathroom, Jun Yueyue struggled to lift Jun Yu from the wheelchair onto the toilet. After dressing Jun Yu, she didn’t rush out but thought for a moment and said a few words.
“I’m not interested in Fang Anyan. I’ll divorce Fang Anyu after I come back. I won’t fight for the company and land in the old man’s hands. I just want the money.” After Jun Yueyue finished speaking, she patted Jun Yu’s shoulder and said, “Call me when you’re done.”
This was the most Jun Yueyue had ever spoken to Jun Yu since she transmigrated, yet it happened in this particular setting and environment. Jun Yu was both amused and exasperated, but that didn’t stop her from being shocked by what Jun Yueyue said.
Of course, Jun Yu didn’t believe Jun Yueyue’s words, because this wasn’t the first time her sister had lied to her under the guise of reconciliation. Even though she could see that Jun Yueyue was creating opportunities for her and Fang Anyan along the way, she still didn’t believe it. After all, her sister had been fighting since childhood and had a terrible track record.
So in the end, Junyu simply opened her mouth and said, “Okay.”
When Jun Yueyue pushed Jun Yu back, the lobby was already noisy for some reason, and many people were gathered around the door. Jun Yueyue frowned, pushed Jun Yu a few steps toward the door, and found that the people were gathered around the private room next to their private room.
”Fuck your mother! Who are you! Mind your own business!” A man’s voice, already slurred from drinking, rang out, accompanied by a woman’s sobbing and the dull thud of a fist hitting someone’s skin.
”Ah! You son of a bitch! Ah—” The shop owner and the waiters were already gathered outside, but no one was pulling them away. One of the waiters took out his phone and was already calling the police.
The private rooms in this restaurant are not the kind with closed doors, but rather semi-open with a curtain that falls down, just enough to block the table. The rooms are separated by only thin boards, so the privacy and sound insulation are very poor.
Jun Yueyue stood not far from the crowd. She was not supposed to get involved, but she glanced at the room where the fight was still going on and saw the shoes and pants of a person standing in the corner of the room. She stopped abruptly. The curtain was half-covered, so she could not see the upper body, but Jun Yueyue recognized him at a glance as Fang Anyu!
