A cute, timid mushroom mistakenly takes the zombie king for her boyfriend and sticks close to him.

She's sad...

Mr. Zombie keenly sensed Meng Xiaoyou's emotions and stared at the back of her head, puzzled. Perhaps it was just his imagination, but he felt that every single hair on the little silly girl's body was listless.

Not happy anymore.

But it's not because of this.

He stroked her hair from behind and whispered indulgently, "Hmm, it's my fault."

Even though he knew she wasn't unhappy because of this, the mature zombie still took all the blame at this moment, letting her stage the accident.

The mushroom was incredibly upset, looking dejected, its unhappiness written all over its face. "Then I..." I want to eat delicious food, I want ham in my instant noodles, I want to carve mushrooms on my shovel, and the purple mushroom in my space wants to wear pretty clothes...

Before she could even stage an accident to extort money, a stern voice interrupted her: "Now that you're back, don't run around and become a burden on your family. And who is this person? What's their identity?"

Su Ji spotted Meng Xiaoyou, his sharp gaze sweeping over her from head to toe to make sure she wasn't injured, and then his expression became even more serious.

He already had a rigid appearance, and with this stern face, he looked even more frightening. If Meng Xiaoyou hadn't seen how gentle he was to Su Lanyue, she would have thought he was just like that.

In reality, his gentleness was reserved for someone else, not for her.

Seemingly influenced by the original owner of the body, Meng Xiaoyou's eyes were extremely sore, as if she had sand in them.

No, no, it's sand that got in my eyes.

Damn it, why is sand out here in the air on land instead of on the beach?

While Mushroom was mentally condemning the culprit Sha, she told the "original owner" that it was alright, it was alright. What use was an irresponsible father?

She can find a son in a pile of zombies, so she can find another zombie to be her father in the future. Hmph, a father is nothing, she can easily handle him!

She wants to find a father who is as obedient and sensible as a little zombie!

Mushroom set herself a big goal, and when she looked up at Su Ji again, her eyes were full of disdain that Su Ji couldn't understand.

Su Ji: "???"

Su Ji has been the head of the Su family for so many years, and even his mortal enemies would never look at him like that.

He couldn't help but snap, "What kind of look is that?"

This child has been too wild outside, and now he looks at his father like that.

He spoke so harshly that Mushroom was both scared and disgusted. She shrank back and whispered defiantly, "You...you're disobedient."

Original owner, look at this, this father is disobedient, the next father will be more obedient.

Su Ji hadn't been this angry in a long time. Just as he was about to explode, the man next to his biological daughter put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms right in front of him.

"Step aside."

The man spoke in a cold, indifferent tone, as if he were talking about the trash blocking the way.

"Who are you, and how dare you speak to a gentleman like that?"

The bodyguards behind Su Ji were all eyeing him menacingly. One of them was the first to reprimand Pei Sinian, but he was met with a cold glare from Pei Sinian and they instinctively retreated. When they realized what had happened, they were filled with shame.

If word gets out that they were scared off by the gaze of a seemingly refined man, who would dare to hire them?

Su Ji had a keen eye for people and could tell at a glance that this person was not someone to be trifled with. Her expression softened slightly. "This is my daughter. If you want to take her away, you should get my permission first."

Is that silly girl his daughter?

Pei Sinian finally looked Su Ji in the eye, even pushing up his glasses. His eyes, like a counterfeit money detector, scrutinized Su Ji from head to toe, especially his face.

Then, Su Ji successfully earned the same disdainful look as Meng Xiaoyou.

Pei Sinian thought to himself, with this kind of looks, this kind of temperament, and this kind of genes, how could he possibly have given birth to his adorable little fool?

He disagreed and questioned, "Was she genetically modified at birth?"

Everyone: "..." Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

But some people dare to say it, and some people dare to believe it. Mushroom nodded in agreement, staring at Su Ji with his sincere big eyes, "Good idea."

It's not just genetically modified; it's trans-racial.

Mushroom proudly straightened its back, its soft claws wrapping around Pei Sinian's strong arms, as if it had won a battle, and said triumphantly, "I'm hungry." It wasn't going to stoop to the level of an ugly gene.

“Hmm!” Pei Sinian ignored Su Ji’s murderous gaze and let the little fool lead him.

"What are you looking at? Stop them..."

"Forget it." Su Lanyue finally spoke, lowering her eyes and sighing, "Let Xiaoyou go. It was my fault for not finding her in time, and she got together with that man first... Doing this will only increase internal conflicts." Before the Zombie King appears, we can't offend that man too much.

With Su Lanyue's intervention, Su Ji shut her mouth, her brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. "She's with that man?"

"Yes...it's her boyfriend." Su Lanyue looked down at her toes, her gentle voice tinged with understanding and helplessness. "I tried to persuade her, but that man is not only savage but also very strong. I was thinking that maybe he could protect Xiaoyou properly. This matter needs to be considered carefully. I'll go back and see my mother first. She was sick before, and I was delayed by zombies on the way and didn't have time to come back. I wonder how she is?"

"You are still the one with filial piety..." Compared to her, Su Ji looked down on his biological daughter even more. He couldn't understand why his bloodline hadn't inherited any of the Su family's good qualities.

Thinking of Meng Xiaoyou's expression just now, Su Ji felt irritated and decided to stop thinking about it. "I'll send some things to that rebellious girl later. I don't want her to starve to death outside. Once she's suffered enough, she'll know how good the Su family is."

--

In her biological father's eyes, Meng Xiaoyou was a wild girl who didn't know her place and wouldn't learn her lesson until she hit a wall.

In reality, Meng Xiaoyou, even after bumping her forehead, would hang her little oil bottle on her upturned mushroom-shaped mouth, and with a stern face, lead Pei Sinian in a delicate attempt to feign injury:

"I want instant noodles with ham, but I want them boiled, chewy, and I don't want mushrooms!"

"Ok!"

"Where are we sleeping tonight? I want a super luxurious and warm king-size bed!"

"Ah."

"And also, I want the shovel to have gold trim!"

Pei Sinian paused, then nodded casually: "Hmm."

It's just gilded edges, nothing excessive.

"And another thing, next time I go out, I'm going to catch a zombie and make it my dad!"

"Ok?"

"Ouch!" Mushroom was caught off guard and hit on the forehead. Reflexively, she covered her forehead with tears in her eyes, her round eyes accusing the man of his evil deeds.

"what are you doing?"

Inside the base, on the bustling streets, everyone within ten meters felt a chill.

People in the apocalypse have long since learned to seek advantage and avoid harm. After watching a spectacle for a moment, they immediately distance themselves to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

"What did you just say?" Pei Sinian pushed up his glasses with the hand that had tapped the mushroom-shaped umbrella. His eyes, reflected in the lenses, revealed her bewildered expression. His thin lips curved slightly, forming a smile that any ordinary person could easily make.

Meng Xiaoyou was stunned. She rarely saw him smile, and this time she truly understood that his smile was as cold as he was.

They've almost frozen the mushrooms into mushroom ice sculptures.

My heart felt hairy.

Not understanding where she had gone wrong, she tentatively asked, "I'm looking for my father?"

The timid mushroom had no concept of kinship like humans. She fell into deep thought: Is it really that hard to find a father?

But judging from Pei Sinian's unchanging expression, it was clearly not about finding his father... So what was it?

"Catch a zombie and make him your father?"

Meng Xiaoyou keenly grasped the key point; when she heard the word "zombie," Pei Sinian's brows furrowed slightly.
