CHAPTER 546: 450 WILL DEFINITELY BE A BEAUTY IN THE FUTURE

Hua Mi raised an eyebrow and said to Gong Yi, "If you let her fall and it doesn’t hurt, next time she definitely won’t be so reckless."

Gong Yi shot Hua Mi a glance, as he couldn’t bear to see his little girl fall. How could there be such a heartless mother in this world?

He hugged his sister and soothed, "Were you frightened? Where did our little princess get scared?"

The little sister giggled happily, and Hua Mi, holding Boss Gong’s little hand, walked over to the sofa.

She glanced at the diary Gong Yi had tossed aside, "What’s been causing such a commotion within that large safety zone?"

Yang Honglin’s diary detailed the ongoing tensions within their largest safety zone, where two groups were consistently at odds.

One group was led by someone with the surname Zhao, and the other by someone with the surname Qu.

Lately, these two groups were openly and covertly battling fiercely within the safety zone; although nothing had erupted in public yet, in the places Yang Honglin couldn’t see, conflicts between the groups could break out at any moment.

Captain Qu’s people were caught by Yang Honglin and thrown into the police station every few days.

Sometimes it was Captain Zhao’s people deliberately provoking Captain Qu’s, other times it was Captain Qu’s people looking for trouble with Captain Zhao. It was impossible to say who was right or wrong.

But the two groups shared one characteristic: they wouldn’t let things get out of hand in the large safety zones.

Their disruptive behavior wasn’t serious enough to warrant execution by Yang Honglin.

Once Yang Honglin took them into custody, these groups were excessively polite, as if they had deeply realized their mistakes. After being fined and made to write self-criticisms by Yang Honglin, they would be released only to rekindle their feuds unchanged.

"Xiuning, Xiuning."

A delicate voice called out, causing Hua Mi to slightly furrow her brows and look towards the entrance.

A slender woman dressed in dance attire appeared at the doorway.

She entered the villa with a smile, greeting the little sister in Gong Yi’s arms, "Hello Xiuning, I’m your dance teacher."

Hua Mi’s gaze deepened as she looked at Qin Zhen who was following the woman inside, questioning with her eyes: What does this mean?

Qin Zhen smiled and said, "She’s an alumnus from my university and was quite a sensation back then. I happened to find out she was also in the Xiang City Base, so I asked her to teach me to dance."

"You mentioned before that you wanted to find a dance teacher for your sister’s school, right? So, I brought her over for you to meet."

The woman’s name was Zhang Chuchu—her figure was excellent and her movements remarkably flexible, clearly the result of many years of dance training.

Hearing Qin Zhen explain this, Hua Mi’s expression visibly softened.

Inside the Xiang City Base, they supported a large number of versatile individuals, such as painters, dancers, calligraphers, poets, and so on.

Currently, these people remained idle, neither going out to fight monsters nor engaging in any physical labor within the Xiang City Base.

Yet every day, the base expended a huge amount of resources to support these individuals.

Like Zhang Chuchu, who had received numerous honors in the art field before the apocalypse but found no opportunities to showcase her talents afterward, she was neither the first nor would she be the last idle person in this situation.

Now the school was in dire need of revival, and everything was ready except for the entry of elite professionals into various fields to teach, which naturally included arts courses such as dance and painting along with the cultural subjects.

For the children living in the post-apocalyptic world, learning a little more would not be a bad thing.

While she was talking with Qin Zhen, Zhang Chuchu was continuously interacting with her sister.

And her sister, held in Gong Yi’s arms, was smiling sweetly at Zhang Chuchu.

Zhang Chuchu took the initiative to walk forward, extending her hands, and said affectionately to her sister, "Xiuning, Xiuning, can I hold you? Xiuning."

Hua Mi and Qin Zhen both turned their heads to look at Zhang Chuchu, and Gong Yi’s sister, who had been smiling sweetly in his arms, hugged Gong Yi’s neck with both hands, still looking harmless with her pair of black grape-like eyes, giggling with laughter.

She seemed unaware of everything, no different from any ordinary child.

On the contrary, at the edge of the sofa, Boss Gong inched step by step towards Gong Yi’s legs, with a beautiful little face that held a guarded expression in his dark eyes.

He looked up at Zhang Chuchu and launched himself between Zhang Chuchu and Gong Yi, with a "babble babble" sound.

Zhang Chuchu took a couple of steps back with a smile and said to Gong Yi, "Commander Gong, your two babies are so cute; I wish I could have such adorable children myself."

Gong Yi did not pay any attention to her and simply held his sister in his arms, scooping up the little icy Boss Gong and turned to go upstairs.

After Qin Zhen and Hua Mi finished discussing the establishment of education at Xiang City Base and were taking Zhang Chuchu with them to leave,

Zhang Chuchu asked Qin Zhen, who was driving, with a smile, "Senior Sister Qin, I saw Commander Gong’s children today and felt particularly close to them. If I go into the school to teach dance, will I have the chance to take care of Xiuning?"

"This little girl has an excellent foundation; she’s sure to be a beauty in the future. Oh, and her parents are also very attractive, especially Commander Gong, who at first glance is that type of strong and handsome man."

"I wonder what the name of Eldest Young Master Gong is? It seems Commander Gong has never publicly announced his brother’s name. Doesn’t he like his brother very much?"

"Just by looking, one can tell that Commander Gong is the kind of man who dotes on his daughter. He seemed somewhat reluctant when I wanted to hold Xiuning just now."

The car moved slowly on the road, and Qin Zhen slightly pressed the gas pedal, abruptly interrupting Zhang Chuchu’s continuous chatter,

"Junior Sister, you mentioned Commander Gong in seven or eight of your ten sentences today, and the remaining three are also related to Commander Gong. So today, you’ve talked about nothing but Commander Gong."

Zhang Chuchu had originally wanted to say more about Gong Yi, but she suddenly shut up and looked at Qin Zhen, pausing,

"What do you mean by that, Senior Sister Qin? After all, we will inevitably have to interact with Commander Gong in the future. Such an outstanding man is bound to be talked about by many people."

The car suddenly stopped, and Qin Zhen, with a serious expression, turned to Zhang Chuchu,

"Junior Sister, since we’re schoolmates, I’m speaking to you with total honesty. Even though you’re very talented and have won many dance awards, times have changed. For your own safety, in Xiang City Base, you’d better remember to stick to what you’re entitled to, and don’t ever covet beyond your share."

"What a frightening thing to say, Senior Sister," Zhang Chuchu tilted her head slightly, her expression seemingly pure and innocent, as if she didn’t understand Qin Zhen’s words at all.

Qin Zhen shrugged, "I’ve said all that can be said!"
