Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After that, Xiao Ai grew larger in Su Su’s stomach day by day. She felt that maternal love was really a mysterious emotion. Although she did not love Ye Yu very much, Su Su actually slowly stopped hating him. No matter how one put it, he had already given an angel baby, Xiao Ai, to her. Hence, it would be too unreasonable if Su Su continued to hate him.

As for did he harass Su Su or not, she had seen too many of those during the apocalypse. Last night, Su Su and Ye Yu really could not considered that she been harassed by him. It was more appropriate to say that they were having fun together!

However, when it came to maternal love… Su Su suddenly remembered that her parents were still alive. Some people said that maternal love was a repeated failure. These words were not wrong at all. The person that every woman loved the most was their own child. Su Su actually only remembered that her parents were still alive after she had been back for so long.

Back then, the world had suddenly become so chaotic. When everyone was in danger and huddled together for warmth, they did not have the time to walk thousands of miles to find their loved ones. Naturally, they would just choose a place to settle down. Later on, Su Su lost Xiao Ai, she fell into a crazy and paranoid state of seeking revenge. Her parents were stranded in the chaotic world, and she did not wholeheartedly search for them.

It was not until the four great survival bases of the human race were established that Su Su found out that her parents had given up the golden opportunity to go to the north at the beginning of the chaotic times. They chose to head south alone, and they had died on the way south just to find her daughter.

Therefore, motherly love was a repeated failure. Her parents loved her the most, but the person she loved the most was Xiao Ai…

Su Su suddenly turned around and left without waiting for Ye Yu’s reply. Anyway, she did not plan to continue their conversation. She walked faster and faster. In the end, she ran to a small supermarket and asked the boss for a public phone. Su Su’s fingers trembled as she dialed a number that she had memorized by heart. She stomped her feet anxiously and waited for the call to be answered.

“Hello???”

On the other end of the phone, a familiar female voice from her memory rang out. Su Su covered her mouth immediately, afraid that she would cry out loud. The female voice on the other end of the phone “Hello” a few more times. Just as she got impatient and was about to hang up, Su Su opened her mouth and shouted,

“Mommy!”

“Su Su??? What’s wrong? Why are you calling me from a landline? Where’s your phone?”

“Phone, phone…”

Su Su almost forgot. Where was her phone before the apocalypse? She was rummaging through her pocket when a hand reached her from the side. There was a small white phone in the big hand. The phone looked very familiar. It seemed to be the one she had before the apocalypse.

When she took the white phone from the huge hand, Su Su raised her eyes and saw Ye Yu. Why was this person still following her? Not only was he following her, but he was also carrying a woman’s bag. The bag looked very familiar too. Was that Su Su’s small white satchel???

“Hmm, you silly child. You’ve been missing things since you were young. Did you drop your phone? Are you calling to ask us for money to buy a phone?”

On the other end of the phone, Her mother did not wait for Su Su to speak as she had already started to scold Su Su on her own accord. When she heard that Su Su seemed to be crying, her heart softened again. Then, she uttered,

“Alright, alright. Don’t cry anymore. It’s just a phone. I’ll get your father to transfer you some money in a while. Buy an orange phone. This time, let’s buy a better one. Orange it is!”

“Mommy, no. I, I want money. A lot of money. Come to Xiang City with daddy. Come quickly. I need a lot of money.”

Su Su was crying so hard that she could not catch her breath, and she became incoherent. In her heart, she desperately told herself not to cry because it was not good for Xiao Ai. However, the reality made her heart ache. As for Xiao Ai, she did not fulfill her responsibility as a mother. As for her parents, Su Su did not fulfill the filial piety that a child should have. Su Su felt that she deserved to suffer for the rest of her life in her previous life.

Fortunately, he had to do it all over again. Su Su swore for the 10001st time that she would do it all over again. She wanted to correct all the mistakes in her life. She wanted everyone who loved her, and the one she loved to live well, to live better than anyone else in the apocalypse.

Su Su’s mother was on the other end of the phone. She was frightened by Su Su’s crying and sobbing. Before Su Su could explain why she wanted so much money, her mother started screaming on the other end of the phone,

“What’s wrong? What happened? Why do you need money? Tell me quickly.”

“Don’t ask, mommy. Come with daddy quickly. Come to Xiang City with daddy immediately! Don’t waste a moment! Bring the money as well!”

Su Su also shouted loudly and hung up the phone. She did not think of explaining to her mother about the apocalypse. If she really said about it, her parents would send her directly to the mental hospital. She might as well leave his parents with a suspense, she wanted them to rush to Xiang City as soon as possible because they were worried.

The reason why she wanted her parents to come to Xiang City and not Su Su to return to their side was because Su Su knew that Xiang City was rich in resources. There were several military factories in the suburbs, and the medical treatment was relatively advanced. The area was vast and was located in a plain area. After the apocalypse, the number of survivors in Xiang City was also the largest compared to the small urban areas such as Jie City and De City. In the end, other than Xiang City, almost all the small urban areas had fallen. All the survivors either went north to the capital or went south to Xiang City.

If they planned properly, it would not be a problem for Xiang city to hold for a few years. However, even in the worst case scenario of the apocalypse, Xiang City had been guarded for 2 years. 2 years was enough for Su Su to give birth to Xiao Ai before making any plans.

Therefore, Su Su had to stay in Xiang City and plan her the next absolutely safe environment.

Speaking of the details of the apocalypse, it was not something that could be said in a few sentences. For those who had not experienced it personally, it was hard to imagine what kind of situation it was like. Su Su still had to take care of Xiao Ai that was in her stomach during the apocalypse. The hardships she experienced were even harder to tell, so she chose not to explain. She first deceived her parents and forced them to stay in Xiang City. They would naturally understand when the time came.

After hanging up the phone, Su Su turned around and bumped into Ye Yu who had been standing behind him. He hung his head low and looked at her with a worried expression. His facial features were a little wild but also a little determined. Xiao Ai looked like this when she was fat and shaved her short hair, this made Xiao Ai look like a tomboy. She was always by Su Su’s side, which also proved that she was very naughty.

As if she recalled something, Su Su’s face was covered in tears. She actually smiled at Ye Yu. He glared at her as if he had seen a ghost. He touched his heart and carefully asked,

“Well, did you ask your parents to come to carry out the final judgment on me?”
