Chapter 1782 - 967: Heart-to-Heart with Bai Jie (2)

"Oh!"

"Thank you, Sister~" Li Ke’ai said sweetly.

"Ke’ai, call her Aunt." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Li Ke’ai paused, then quickly said sweetly, "Thank you, Aunt."

Yang Xiaozhu patted around her body and finally took out a silver bracelet.

Put it on Li Ke’ai.

Li Ke’ai looked at Ding Qingqing, then at Yutong, and finally hesitantly said, "Thank you.....Aunt?"

"Wow! Little Ke’ai is just too cute. MUA~" Yang Xiaozhu leaned over and kissed her.

Standing beside them, Mrs. Li, who had brought in fruits, saw this scene and looked at Li Yu with some annoyance.

Then seeing Yang Xiaozhu and Yutong, she felt a pang of pity, but was mostly happy.

Both are quite good, like pieces of meat in her palm and on the back of her hand.

Oh, what a sin, Xiao Yu, this child is really.....

....

On the other side.

Li Hongyuan personally poured a glass of wine for both Li Hang and Li Yu.

Finally, he poured a glass for himself and looked at the two brothers, saying:

"I haven’t achieved much in my life, but my greatest pride now is having you two sons..."

Li Yu and Li Hang exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves: Here we go again.

"Dad, I toast to you, wishing you health!" Li Yu raised his glass and said to his father.

Li Hang wanted to utter more fitting and pleasant words for the toast, but couldn’t think of anything.

So he just said, "Same here."

"Dad, don’t worry, the base has us, you just enjoy yourself with Mom, if there’s any problem, we can solve it." Li Yu continued.

"Same here."

Li Hongyuan’s face was invigorated as he said to the two:

"In the first half of my life, I was called Old Li, now everyone respects me. To be honest, I feel unsure....."

Li Yu knew his father well and sighed inwardly.

Though his father sometimes seemed unreliable, at least he knew his limits and never made a mess, which for Li Yu was already enough.

So he said to his father: "Dad, don’t feel unsure, we are your greatest support....."

"Same here."

As Li Hang finished speaking, Li Yu glanced at him.

The three clinked glasses and downed their drinks.

Li Yu listened to his father’s chatter and some thoughts on the base, even though some were inappropriate, he just listened, occasionally responding with a few ’mmhm’s.

Later, Father Li started talking about his life experiences, the wisdom of dealing with people.

Li Yu also patiently listened, letting his father enjoy the moment.

After all, such father-son chats never happened before the doomsday.

Since he wants to talk, why not let him, listen well, and keep in mind what’s useful.

Li Yu could hold his liquor, while Father Li wasn’t so good with it.

After half a jin, Father Li’s tongue started to loosen up, but Li Hang and Li Yu remained unaffected.

Father Li began boasting, recounting his romantic encounters with Mrs. Li.

It was quite intense.

Mrs. Li had been looking left at the tall and beautiful Yutong, right at the plump and lively Yang Xiaozhu, feeling greatly satisfied.

Suddenly hearing Father Li talk about such things, she walked over and slapped him sober.

Being among family, Mrs. Li felt there was no need to save face.

A bit embarrassed, she pretended to be drunk and went back to her room to sleep.

Li Yu and Li Hang snickered.

Li Yu poured himself another glass of wine, looking at the four big ones and small ones gathered in a circle on the sofa, watching his mother help his father upstairs, seeing Li Hang watching TV over there.

His eyes were full of pride and happiness.

This is the meaning of his efforts, and the reason for fighting outside.

Suddenly, he said to Li Yuan on the sofa:

"Yuanzi, how are things with Qingyang now?"

Li Yuan, hearing this, paused his card game, blushed.

Awkwardly saying, "Big brother, why are you asking this?"

Li Yu chuckled and said, "Next time we have a gathering, bring him to hang out."

"He’s afraid of you." Li Yuan thought about it and said.

Li Yu was a bit puzzled, asking: "Afraid of me? I don’t hit him, why is he afraid?"

"He says every time you look at him, it seems like you’re going to beat him up." Li Yuan said.

Perhaps it’s the brother-in-law looking at the brother-in-law, no matter how you look, it seems unpleasant.

Li Yu was the same way.

Li Yu had already drunk almost a jin of wine, but maybe due to rebirth, he only felt slightly tipsy.

Hearing what Li Yuan said, his thoughts turned, and he asked:

"Yuan, if I really did beat him up, who would you help?"

Li Yuan looked up, speaking in a muffled voice: "He can’t beat you....."

"Besides, if you beat him, it means he’s wrong, he should be beaten. It’s none of my business."

"Haha." Li Yu chuckled, thinking to himself.

The key to keep Big Camphor Tree Base from chaos is internal stability, and for the Inner City, the core people must remain stable.

Li Yuan and Mrs. Li were currently temporarily in charge of the warehouse, a very important position.

The reason Li Yu could slightly accept Qingyang with Li Yuan was that Qingyang was sincere and naive, without ambition, yet capable.

This type of person is easy to manage.

With more people, certain things should be noticed with attention.

On the road forward, one should choose suitable companions instead of changing companions, as changing someone is hard, why not choose while on the path.

Those suitable for joining Big Camphor Tree Base will naturally approach.

Constructing a community of shared interests allows for a longer journey.

Li Yu added a chopstick of lamb into his mouth, the gamey taste overwhelming.

He quickly picked some vegetables.

Ended up picking six chives.

Chives and white wine down the belly, igniting a flame of anger in his stomach.

"Cough, cough." Li Yu looked at the playful Yutong and others, embarrassed to interrupt.

Li Hang was continuing to watch the pre-doomsday downloaded series: "Qin’s Moon."

Without bothering anyone, he lifted his step, headed upstairs.

Returned to his room, turned on his computer, inserted a USB drive.

In dozens of subdirectories, he found a file labeled [Study Materials].

Then clicked and opened a video inside.

"Ah..."

Seeing the figure in the video.

Li Yu suddenly cursed: "Damn!"

What is he doing?

Bam!

He immediately shut down the computer, as the leader of Big Camphor Tree Base, he still needs.....

Is this even reasonable?

His mind spun, noticing Yutong and others playing, interrupting them would be obvious, causing embarrassment.

Then.....

Li Yu put on a jacket, headed for the Research Room.

Could a live person really be suffocated by urine?

The rain soaked his body as he reached the Research Room.

Li Yu adjusted his expression, tucked the handgun on his thigh to the side, making it unobtrusive.

The lights in the Research Room were still on, recently Bai Jie and the others were racing against the clock to study the jumping zombie, often working late.

Li Yu appeared solemn, with furrowed brows, hands behind his back.

Along with being soaked, he matched the persona of a decisive and responsible leader.

"Director Li."

"Director Li."

"Director Li."

Li Yu said lightly, "How’s the research going?"

Everyone heard this, feeling a bit tense.

Bai Jie, wearing a white Research Room uniform, with gold wire glasses, proactively said: "We’re currently testing, the final report isn’t out yet.

The current findings show this zombie has active factors in its body, and...."

Li Yu watched Bai Jie speak, noticing the beauty mole at the corner of her mouth.

In her speech, under the illumination of lights.

Her plump lips glowing with sheen.

Li Yu seemed to listen intently, brows furrowing, nodding as he spoke:

"This matter is of great importance, you must figure it out, and this zombie is very strong, make sure not to unlock the iron locks during experiments....."

Everyone listened to Li Yu’s instructions, agreeing they understood.

However, Bai Jie seemed to notice something unusual about Li Yu.

Especially when she approached, seeing the faintly visible handgun on Li Yu’s thigh.

Instantly realizing.

"Um, Director Bai, come with me, I need to discuss the medication with you."

Bai Jie gave a light smile.

Followed Li Yu to the break room.

Upon entering the break room, Li Yu heard the sound of Bai Jie locking the door.

Turning around, Bai Jie was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are you?"

"Hmm!?!"

Li Yu lowered his head only to find out.

Unexpectedly, Bai Jie was already kneeling on the ground.
