Chapter 479: Side Story 6

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiaoguo knew how it was going to turn out when Ruyi left the room. But when she saw her return in a daze, she still felt a little sad.

Having been her roommate for four years, it was impossible for her not to feel compassion for Ruyi. She had mentioned it occasionally in class before, but at that time people just laughed at her and said she had become silly from watching too many movies. No one believed her.

Later on, some of them even mocked and ridiculed her when they bumped into her. Some male students even went so far as to belittle her on the basis of gender.

Just as Xiaoguo was about to comfort her, Ruyi wiped her tears and said, “What should I prepare?”

She did try to warn everyone, but since they didn’t believe her, they couldn’t blame her. Good luck to them.

At this moment, the only person she trusted was Xiaoguo. She held on to Xiaoguo tightly as if she was holding on to a life-saving rope.

Xiaoguo patted her hand to comfort her. “Go home first. Please supervise your parents to do some training and strengthen their mental fortitude. Don’t tell them too much.”

The main reason was that no one would believe her.

Ruyi trusted her very much and did whatever she was told. Seeing that Xiaoguo had packed her luggage, she did not delay and quickly picked up the luggage to start packing. It didn’t take long for them to clear out their dorm room.

Xiaoguo drove Ruyi home. When they arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, Ruyi wanted her to stop the car at the gate and walk in herself. However, the other party drove straight in.

“I’ll send you to your building and see where your unit is.”

When they reached the bottom of the building, the two of them agreed to contact each other by phone before parting ways.

Xiaoguo deliberately noted down the building number before leaving and heading straight for the expressway.

Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin were shocked to see Xiaoguo who was carrying so many bags. Had their dearest baby been expelled by the school?!

“It’s the holidays now, so I brought everything back.”

“Oh my dear, it’s just summer vacation, not graduation,” Mr. Qin said as he helped her move her luggage.

Mrs. Qin closed the door behind the two of them. When she heard her silly husband’s words, she said in disdain, “Have you forgotten? Guoguo is graduating this year.”

When Mr. Qin heard this, he was stunned. “What?! So fast…”

“Dad! You really don’t care about me anymore! You don’t even know when I will be graduating from college.”

Xiaoguo threw her bag on the bed and pretended to be displeased.

“Of course I care, I care…” Mr. Qin said happily. “I forgot about it momentarily. By the way, isn’t your department holding a graduation trip? When are you leaving?”

Mr. Qin cleverly changed the subject. Xiaoguo snorted and let him off the hook. “Yes, there is a graduation trip but they are going to the desert. It’s going to take more than a month. I might as well stay home and spend time with you guys.”

When Mr. Qin heard this, he chuckled and nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Don’t go. Spending a month in the desert is a no go. Just stay home with Dad and Mom.” Mrs. Qin tapped the back of his head and started nagging, “You just want your child to stay by your side forever. She’s never going to succeed in life!”

“A graduation trip is so important for gaining new experiences and making new friends. This fool…”

While thinking about that, Mrs. Qin kicked her husband and left for the kitchen.

Mr. Qin yelled out in pain. Seeing that his wife didnt turn to check on him, he stopped his act and immediately chased after her with a cheeky smile.

Xiaoguo was very happy to see the two of them so loving at this age. Family harmony was something that money could not buy.

However, when she thought of the ending of her parents in her previous life, she couldn’t help but feel a little sad. They didn’t not grow to a ripe old age in both lifetimes. In this life, she must not let the same tragedy happen again.

When she got home, Xiaoguo didn’t waste any time. Time was running out. Wasting time was equivalent to wasting life away.

However, her most recent concern was whether to reinforce her home and stock up on food, or go to the camp in her previous life.

Staying at home was ultimately not safe, and it wouldn’t work as a long-term solution. They couldn’t possibly stay indoors all the time, and no matter how much reinforcement was done, it could not be as safe as a national campsite. Therefore, going to the campsite would be a safer bet.

The camp was in the same city as her college, located in the military headquarters. However, she must not act rashly. If she were to go now, she would get arrested as a terrorist before she could get close.

It seemed that she could only figure out a way to get there after the apocalypse began.

In the following days, Xiaoguo was very busy, but she still made time to work out with her parents.

“Why are you going to Lin City all of a sudden?”

Mrs. Qin stopped her rope-skipping and asked curiously.

Even Mr. Qin stopped the treadmill and looked at her in confusion. “Aren’t you preparing for graduation? Why are you still going back to school?”

“No.” Xiaoguo was about to speak when she was distracted by the commotion outside.

When she came to the window, it suddenly started raining heavily with black raindrops falling from the sky.

“Oh no!”

Xiaoguo’s hair was standing on end. How could the timing be so different from what she had expected?!!

“Eh? Black rain is so magical…”

Mrs. Qin was feeling curious and wanted to open the window, but she was quickly stopped by Xiaoguo. She looked at the trembling girl in confusion. “What’s wrong, dear? Why are your hands so cold?”

Mr. Qin also retracted his gaze and looked at Xiaoguo worriedly. “Are you feeling unwell?”

As they spoke, her parents led her to the sofa.

Xiaoguo sat down stiffly, her body was now drenched in sweat. Just as she was deep in thought, she heard cursing voices from outside.

Feeling curious, Mrs. Qin walked to the window and looked out. It was Grandma Liu from the level below them. At this moment, she was pointing and cursing at something on the upper floors. The commotion had completely piqued Mrs. Qin’s interest.

“I’ll go down and take a look.”

With that, she ran out. Xiaoguo tried to stop her, but to no avail. Just as she was feeling anxious, Mr. Qin suddenly started laughing.

“What kind of rain is this? It’s only raining in one spot. Haha…”

Xiaoguo frowned and came to his side. She realized that the rain was only falling around their block. Everywhere else was clean with no signs of rain.

At this moment, Mrs. Qin returned and shared with them what had happened.

It turned out that the “black rain” was actually ink, splashed by Uncle Li’s grandson from upstairs. It happened to splash on the white bedsheets that were left out to dry on Grandma Liu’s balcony downstairs.

Grandma Liu was hopping mad and scolding Uncle Li’s grandson outside the building, attracting many people to watch the commotion.

Upon hearing the truth, Xiaoguo’s legs went weak and she fell onto the sofa. Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin, who were gossiping, did not notice her odd behavior.

This blunder acted as a reminder to her.

In the following days, Xiaoguo sped up her preparations. However, all of this was done behind her parents’ backs.

As the day approached, Xiaoguo felt more and more uneasy, but she tried to maintain a facade of normalcy by eating and drinking as usual. However, her eye bags and the red veins on her eyeballs betrayed her inner anxiety.

Recently, Ruyi’s calls have become more frequent. Every time Xiaoguo picked up the phone, she would take the call beyond the hearing range of her parents. She was behaving so secretively that the two elders started to speculate if she had a boyfriend.

That day had finally arrived.

At night, the muffled sound of thunder woke up the family of three.

Xiaoguo opened her tired eyes and quickly walked to the window. She pulled open the curtain and saw drops of black rain falling forcefully against the glass, as if trying to shatter the window.

While she was hurriedly drawing the curtains, she heard her parents knocking on her room door.

Xiaoguo took a deep breath and walked over, trying to remain calm. She opened the door and pretended to look like she had just woken up. “Mom and Dad, what’s going on?”

Mrs. Qin was being supported by her husband. When she saw Xiaoguo, she quickly hid her vulnerable side. “It’s nothing. We just came to check on you.”

Mr. Qin was a little hesitant. “Black rain is falling from the sky…”

At this moment, Mrs. Qin elbowed him to stop him from talking.

“Black rain?” Xiaoguo’s eyes darted around. It seemed that the movies she had shown them some time ago had turned out to be useful. She said half-jokingly, “Isn’t that a sign of the zombie outbreak?”

Mrs. Qin’s face turned pale when she heard her words. Mr. Qin didn’t look any better.

The couple held onto each other tightly. Xiaoguo looked at the two of them and felt a little sorry for them. However, she still said, “This black rain is really strange.”

Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin were no longer feeling sleepy. Xiaoguo noticed this and stayed by their side, subtly hinting to them the possibilities of zombies.

And so, in less than two days, Qin’s parents had come to believe that the rain was a sign of the impending apocalypse.

The black rain storm was raging on and getting more intense by the minute. It seemed to be more powerful than the one she witnessed in her previous life. Xiaoguo knew that if they didn’t set off now, they wouldn’t be able to leave this place..
