Chapter 2 My Persuasion
At that time, I kindly advised Xu Hui:
"Huihui, there's no Apocalypse, just rain, which will stop soon. Don't let the novels corrupt you. Going to the Zero-Yuan Purchase now is no different from breaking in?
"Stepping back, even if there is an Apocalypse, we shouldn't go now. Social order is still there, officials are rescuing. We should wait patiently.
"We'll wait a few more days. If it keeps raining after a week, I'll go with you no matter what you want to do, okay?"
Xu Hui was persuaded by my earnest words and decided not to go to the Zero-Yuan Purchase for now.
Because we didn't go, Brother Yong and Scarred Brother took the two women from 1204 and headed out into the rain.
Around five in the morning, noisy voices woke me and Xu Hui.
Peeking through the door crack, they had indeed returned from the Zero-Yuan Purchase!
Brother Yong and Scarred Brother were hugging two women, beaming with joy, distributing supplies.
Over the next two days, Xu Hui gave me the cold shoulder.
When I cooked for her, she threw the food and refused to eat.
Complaining, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to eat white rice and cabbage!"
Yes, we had rice and some vegetables like potatoes and sweet potatoes that last long, but no fresh produce or meat.
We could stretch it to half a month.
But she wasn't satisfied.
On the fifth day of the Torrential Rain, the smell of hotpot came from 1201 next door.
Xu Hui decided to go beg for food from Brother Yong.
The two women from 1204 had already arrived and humiliated Xu Hui.
They scolded her for not going to the Zero-Yuan Purchase but wanting to take advantage, and kicked her out as if she were an intruder.
At that moment, Xu Hui's negative emotions peaked.
When she rushed home, I was at the window repairing the broken glass in the rain.
She charged at me with a ferocious face and roared:
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't stopped me from going to the Zero-Yuan Purchase, I would be the protagonist!"
Then she pushed me hard while I was fixing the glass.
I didn't have time to react and fell from the twelfth floor, dying in the dirty rainwater.
