Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

"Wow! This strawberry cake is so delicious!! (??? ??)?" Fu Fu bit the spoon and closed her eyes to savor it carefully. The soft and dense cheesecake was paired with the sweet and sour strawberry jam, and then with the light and sweet cream. The sweet taste of various different textures melted together on the tip of the tongue.

The incomparable sense of happiness brought by sugar instantly captured Fu Fu's heart.

"Cakes are definitely the most wonderful food in the world. I love cakes the most!!" Fu Fu swallowed the cake in her mouth and announced solemnly.

"...How does it compare to ice cream? You made the same announcement a few hours ago while eating ice cream.

Isn't it a bit absurd how fast you change your mind when you see someone new? "Bai Yu was holding a bowl of porridge and drinking it slowly. He glanced at Fu Fu and said,

"Of course it's strawberry ice cream cheesecake!!" Fu Fu said confidently, "Why should I choose? My stomach is so big, it can give all kinds of delicious food a safe home. Of course I want them all!!"

"Pfft~" Zhe and Ling, who had heard the entire cute conversation between the two, couldn't help but smile.

"That's right. If you can have it all, why choose?" Ling smiled and nodded in admiration, supporting Fu Fu. She even looked at Fu Fu's flat stomach with some envy and said, "If I had Fu Fu's appetite, I wouldn't have to worry about choosing between the menu every time I go out for a good meal."

"I think what's stopping you is not just your empty stomach, but also our wallets." Zhe said somewhat helplessly.

"That's right. If it weren't for her wallet, she would order everything on the menu every time she ordered.

That's what Fufu did this morning when we were having dinner at the burger joint with Nicole.

She and Amby ate more than thirty burgers together.

"Alas... I can only be thankful that I used Nicole's card this time." Bai Yu sighed. As the breadwinner of his family, especially with a new, future, and expensive member, the word "poverty" was etched directly into Bai Yu's mind.

This was the first time that Bai Yu, a "young master" who had never earned money but had never worried about money, felt the pressure of being the head of the family and supporting the family.

When Zhe heard Bai Yu's sigh, his expression became a little complicated.

He is also the head of a family with a younger sister and a group of baboons to support. After years of struggling in society with his younger sister, Zhe sees some of his past in Baiyu.

But at Baiyu and Fufu's age, they at least have teachers to rely on.

When that incident happened, he and his sister Ling had reached an age where they could take care of each other and be responsible for their own future.

But I didn't hear the two children talking about their parents and elders.

And the bloody past revealed behind that careless remark just now...

There is never a shortage of orphans, either in Eridu or elsewhere.

Because so many people have lost their loved ones and tragedies have occurred too frequently, most people have become accustomed to it and have become indifferent.

Therefore, anyone who can struggle to survive on their own is truly remarkable.

Zhe looked at Bai Yu with a gentler gaze, and at the same time, the suspicion and anxiety caused by his identity being discovered faded.

He didn't say anything, but just raised the drink in his hand and gestured to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu held the bowl in his hand with a slightly bewildered look and clinked his cup with Zhe's. This felt like meeting a kindred spirit over porridge instead of wine.

Bai Yu could feel that since they met, this seemingly gentle man in front of him had always been highly wary of him and Fu Fu.

Those green eyes, like a spring lake, were coldly scrutinizing him, searching for flaws, fearing that Bai Yu and the others were approaching him with ill intentions, and would bring harm to him and his sister Ling.

But now, for some reason, Zhe's attitude has softened a lot.

Was it because of his earlier words about worrying about money? Or was it because… Zhe felt a certain empathy for him because he was also a “brother” who needed to take care of his “sister”?

Bai Yu chewed the shrimp in the porridge, thinking thoughtfully.

It is true that they approached intentionally, but Zhe probably would never have thought that Bai Yu and Fu Fu actually just wanted to absorb the emotional energy of the "Child of Destiny".

But they do have bad intentions, Bai Yu thought guiltily, raising his bowl to block Zhe's gaze.

"Wow! Fufu, you're so amazing!"

The emotional exchange between the two men did not affect the girls' chat.

Ling's eyes widened in surprise after hearing about Fu Fu's battle record.

Judging from her appearance, who would have thought that the seemingly well-behaved and thin girl in front of her was actually a hidden glutton. Although I had heard about Fu Fu's amazing appetite from Master Qiao Pu before.

But Ling imagined putting a mountain of hamburgers into Fufu's slender, flat stomach...

Ling reached out and touched Fufu's belly, and said with envy and a little jealousy: "Look at your obviously thin waist, where did all the food you eat go?

Damn it! I also want to be like you, Fufu, and not get a bloated belly even if I eat a lot!

"Hey~" Fu Fu didn't know how to answer this question, so she just acted cute and pretended to be stupid.

You can't say, "She's already digested the food after swallowing it, so her stomach isn't bloated. Humans can't learn that," right?!

Bai Yu put down the empty bowl in his hand and looked at the Phaethon brothers and sisters silently.

Looking at Ling playing with Fufu, and Zhe watching the two girls with a smile while eating, Bai Yu also looked at Fufu.

Fufu's objection just now was a stroke of genius. It not only interrupted the atmosphere of subtle confrontation and vigilance between them.

The thought of buying takeout distracted the current topic. During the waiting time, the rising emotions subsided.

The aroma of the food and the sugar in the desserts eased the anxiety of Zhe and Ling.

In such a relaxed atmosphere, the shallow friendship that would have been completely broken by revealing Phaethon's true identity has now evolved into "exchanging secret identities".

Not only will the relationship not be broken, but there is a possibility of taking it a step further and deepening the trust between the two siblings.

Looking at Fu Fu and Ling feeding each other, she was smiling because they were eating cakes of different flavors.

Bai Yu couldn't help but sigh. Fu Fu clearly had no idea about the proper sense of propriety and the unspoken rules of interpersonal relationships, yet she was still able to rely on her intuition and make the best response for herself at the moment.

It's clearly just a new "system" and it's only been upgraded once.

The little system that was always panicking, naive and crybaby had already begun to show its powerful, reliable and terrifying instincts.

Bai Yu was now very glad that he had met Fu Fu. At the same time, he began to feel curious.

To what extent can a mature system control human emotions?

Small Theater

Zhe: (patting Baiyu’s shoulder with deep emotion) Back then, I also went through so much hardship to raise my sister!

I understand! Being both a brother and a father is not easy. Come on, let's go!

Bai Yu: (holding the bowl obediently) Cheers?

Zhe: Shit! (Ton ton ton)

Ling: Brother, you were just drinking a drink, what are you talking about?! We're not that much older than each other, okay?!

Fufu: Sister Ling, boys are like this sometimes. They suddenly say some stupid things that we don't understand. Being a sister is not easy, right?

Ling: That’s right! Fu Fu, you really understand me!

Zhe:......

Bai Yu: Puff~
