nChapter 89: Wei Lan’s Day

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nWei Lan had to admit that she could not understand the conversation between Lu Ming and Zhang Chengcheng.

nBut, she had one advantage—she did not talk much.

nIf it was a trivial confusion, she would avoid asking about it.

nZhang Chengcheng led her to the kitchen, and began to cook while Wei Lan assisted in handling the ingredients under her guidance.

nAs the two women worked, Zhang Chengcheng spoke.

n“Before you came, did Iluo Sheng tell you about Brother Lu’s temperament?”

nWei Lan looked serious and said, “No, Professor Iluo just said that Brother Lu is a very good person.”

nZhang Chengcheng nodded with satisfaction, a hint of a smile playing on her lips, “Of course! 1 have never seen anyone as good, kind, and powerful as Brother Lu!”

nThere must be no lack of daily compliments!

nIt had practically become Cheng Cheng’s belief.

nAfter sighing, Zhang Chengcheng continued, “But you have to understand that even good people can have some peculiarities.”

nWei Lan quickly nodded.

nShe understood the principle that no one was perfect.

nZhang Chengcheng continued, “That’s why 1 have to tell you some things to take note of.”

n“Sister Chengcheng, please go ahead.”

n“First of all, Brother Lu’s house.

nThis is the most important thing! You can’t enter Brother Lu’s house! Don’t even think about it! That’s Brother Lu’s private territory. Stepping into Brother Lu’s house without permission is equivalent to declaring war on Brother Lu. 1 believe you know the consequences.”

nWei Lan quickly nodded and said that she would definitely not court death.

n“Secondly, the distance from Brother Lu.

nIt’s very difficult for Brother Lu to trust others. It’s your first day here today, so you have to be careful to maintain a distance from Brother Lu. If you get too close to Brother Lu, he won’t be pleased. If Brother Lu is unhappy, no one in our gathering place will be happy.”

nWith that, Zhang Chengcheng fixed her gaze on Wei Lan, her eyes scanning over her long legs as she solemnly said, “Understand?”

nWei Lan nodded repeatedly, “1 understand.”

nZhang Chengcheng smiled in satisfaction and continued, “Finally, Brother Lu doesn’t like to go out, and he especially dislikes being troubled. So, those of us who assist Brother Lu need to handle whatever affairs we could. If we can’t handle it, we look for Wang Xiong. If Wang Xiong can’t handle it, we turn to Iluo Sheng. In short, don’t bother Brother Lu.”

nWei Lan nodded again. “That’s easy. I’m not the kind of person who causes trouble.”

nThe food was steaming hot in the pot.

nZhang Chengcheng remained silent for a while after finishing her instructions.

nWei Lan was puzzled, “Sister Chengcheng, is that all?”

nZhang Chengcheng nodded. “Yes, just these three things.”

nTherefore, she should not enter Brother Lu’s house, maintain a distance from him, and don’t trouble him unnecessarily.

nWei Lan thought over it and could not help but say, “It seems very simple…”

nCheng Cheng nodded gently. “Because Brother Lu is a simple person. An extremely simple Seeker of the Path!”

n“Seeker of the Path?”

n“Yes, the Seeker of the Path of Strength!”

nIt took about an hour for Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan to finish cooking three portions of food. Yes, according to Lu Ming’s rules, from today onwards, Wei Lan’s meals would also be taken care of by Lu Ming.

nThis was something Lu Ming should do.

nWith a table full of food served, Lu Ming entered the dining room.

nAs Lu Ming sat at the head of the table and softly said, “Let’s eat”, the food was devoured by the three Awakened like a tornado.

nThe meal took about forty minutes!

nAfter the meal, Lu Ming said, “I’m going to take a nap,” and left the dining room, leaving Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan to clean up the dishes.

nIt did not take long to clean up the dishes.

nAfter finishing their work, Zhang Chengcheng took Wei Lan to a room.

n“This will be your bedroom from now on. Are you satisfied with it?”

nLooking at the simple one-bedroom apartment, Wei Lan nodded repeatedly. “I’m satisfied.”

nThe conditions were definitely better than those at the official shelter. After all, there were not many survivors here.

nZhang Chengcheng smiled, “That’s good.”

nAfter saying that, she turned to leave, but Wei Lan stopped her. “By the way, Sister Chengcheng, what about this afternoon? What do I need to do in the afternoon?”

nZhang Chengcheng replied, “We don’t need to do anything specific in the afternoon. It’s Brother Lu’s training time, and he doesn’t need our assistance then. However, it’s best if the two of us are on standby. If Brother calls, we go immediately.”

nWei Lan nodded. “Understood.”

n“By the way, go to the kitchen at four o’clock in the afternoon to prepare dinner. Don’t forget this.”

nWei Lan smiled and nodded, “Got it, Sister Chengcheng.”

nAfter Zhang Chengcheng left, Wei Lan walked around her room.

nThe house was relatively clean and tidy, which suited Wei Lan’s taste.

nFeeling tired, Wei Lan lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

nWei Lan slept until four in the afternoon.

nAfter being woken up by the alarm clock, Wei Lan hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen. She saw that Zhang Chengcheng had already begun to prepare the ingredients.

nAfter washing her hands, Wei Lan helped while apologizing, “I’m sorry, Sister Chengcheng. I accidentally overslept.”

nZhang Chengcheng smiled and said, “There’s no need to apologize. It was indeed exhausting in the morning, especially when Tier 3 zombie crystals can’t be supplied without limits. But the work in the afternoon is much easier.”

nThe two women chatted about everyday things as they cooked.

nAfter they had finished dinner, they decided to take a stroll within the shelter. When the food was served, Lu Ming entered the dining room.

nAnother swift meal.

nThat night, after strolling around Good Hope Village with Zhang Chengcheng for two hours, Wei Lan returned to her room.

nThere was not much nightlife in the apocalypse, and Wei Lan was not someone who liked nightlife.

nSeeing that it was already past eight o’clock, and knowing that she had to wake up early to prepare breakfast for Lu Ming the next morning, Wei Lan went to bed early. However, she found it difficult to fall asleep.

nRecalling everything that had happened throughout the day, Wei Lan realized that from today onwards, her destiny was more or less bound to Lu Ming’s.

nShe had to admit a fact.

nLu Ming was a dull and uninteresting man.

nBeing Lu Ming’s assistant was also a boring job.

nThis job was not challenging, but it was not interesting either.

nAssisting with the training, and then cooking and doing the dishes.

nMoreover, given Lu Ming’s strength and personality, Wei Lan knew that her job would likely remain the same for a long time.

nBut, Wei Lan did not have any complaints.

nIn the apocalypse, it was already the greatest blessing to be able to have a stable life.

nRecalling Zhang Chengcheng’s evaluation of Lu Ming in the morning.

n“Yes, the Seeker of the Path of Strength!”

nIt was so appropriate.

nHe was simple, but determined and steadfast.

nHe was cautious and careful, never never venturing into danger, but he was constantly growing stronger.

nHe endured the boredom and monotony, solely to pursue the ultimate path of becoming stronger.

nHe was like a ball of fire. Even if it was the simplest self-combustion, he could unknowingly bring warmth and radiance to those around him.

n“He may not be a hero, but he does things that even heroes cannot do.”

n“He has always pursued strength single-mindedly, and yet, in an unconscious way, he influenced numerous people.”

nSo, if even the savior could tolerate the mundane routine, then what reason did Wei Lan have to be dissatisfied?

nWith these emotions in her heart, Wei Lan drifted off to sleep..
