Chapter 518: The Siege Begins (5)
Delicious red braised pork, eggplant in garlic sauce, corn, pork ribs soup, etc. These were all of Qin Yi’s favorite foods.
Other than Qin Yi, Yun Huan, and Qin Hanyu, all the others had eaten.
Qin Hanyu grabbed Qin Yi’s bowl right in front of Yun Huan, his phoenix eyes holding a hint of provocation. He looked at Yun Huan happily, urging her, “Baobao, drink some soup.”
Yun Huan was not annoyed; this brother-in-law of his enjoyed bickering and feeling salty. Did he not know that Qiqi loved him the most? Hmph!
Qin Yi was indeed hungry, finishing the food fairly quickly. Although she was rushing slightly, her actions were as graceful as ever.
“Yun Huan, wait for me. I want to look for that lass Bao’er. She said she wanted to find me for something.”
Yun Huan caressed her head, “Go on.”
Qin Yi nodded her head and informed Qin Hanyu of her plans before looking for Deng Baoping.
Deng Baoping was alone, currently living with Yang Qingtian and Gu Jie. There were three rooms and a living room, which was enough for them.
Qin Yi left the Qin house for Deng Baoping’s home, which was in the ordinary residential area and fortunately not very far.
On the road, Qin Yi sensed something amiss. The stares from the people inside the base were weird and unkind.
Over the past few days, Qin Yi had interacted with them. Although their relationship was not the best, it was not very bad either.
However, Qin Yi felt that their eyes were a strange mix of hatred and fear.
‘Hatred? Why do they hate me?’
Qin Yi quickly found the reason.
Xia Tianyu glared at her with slanted eyes, and although she was clearly a lady with good facial features, the effect was destroyed because of her bossy, domineering look.
“Hmph! You destroyed our base, bearer of bad luck,” Xia Tianyu spoke haughtily with her head tilted upwards, using her nostrils to look down at her.
Qin Yi glanced at her, coldly stating, “Lady, don’t you know that your actions are really ugly? If you have the time, please trim your nostril hairs.”
“You!”
Xia Tianyu did not expect such venomous words from Qin Yi, her face flushing red. No matter what she said, she was still a girl and had never been criticized like this before. Her hatred for Qin Yi grew stronger immediately.
When she first saw Qin YI, she was attracted to the extremely suave youth, but all of it had disappeared the moment she was instructed to do manual labor.
“Hmph. I’m better than you in everything. Some look to be genius but are in fact dirtier than everyone else. Feigning to be a good person… I think you’re the worst here.”
Xia Tianyu stared at Qin Yi with flames in her eyes.
Chu Jiaojiao walked out from behind and pulled on Xia Tianyu’s arm. Speaking with an adorable voice, she admonished, “Tianyu, don’t say that. If not for Qin Yi, we might not even be able to get through this.”
It would have been better if she did not hear such words, as Xia Tianyu immediately erupted in anger, “What do you know? Don’t get cheated by this person. People might not know it now, but the zombies were attracted by Qin Yi. Without her, we would be safe!”
Xia Tianyu’s voice was loud, immediately attracting many people, who all started pointing at Qin Yi and looking at her unkindly.
Over the past few days, rumors and gossip had stated that Qin Yi had attracted the zombies. If not for her, the zombies might not even be attacking their base.
Humans were like that; once rumors started spreading, many people would believe those lies and immediately pin all the blame on Qin Yi. Just based on these rumors alone, they had labeled her as a guilty person, and everything she had done for them was forgotten.
