Yun Qingyue and Yunyue had not eaten anything fulfilling for a few days now. And all they got from the Long Long's gang were some scraps and leftovers from their own meals. It was not only unappetizing but also dangerously unhealthy. Seeing those leftovers being presented before her and the expressions of those alpha thugs like they were doing her some huge favor by doing this made her feel even more unwilling.
Yun Qingyue knew that they wanted to slowly break her psychological defence by starving her and the child but she didn't want to succumb to their ploys. She didn't touch a single thing from the leftover food that the gang brought and took the risk herself to go to the upper floors in the apartment building and try to pry open any locked apartment to find food. Of course that was extremely dangerous as the zombies roaming in the building may have been cleared but the locked apartments could potentially have locked zombies in them. But Yun Qingyue was determined as the child was hungry and broke open one of the apartments on the third floor and found a few packets of snacks and some protein bars and few water bottles. She could only make do with those and both her and the Yunyue could only eat as little as possible to make those few packets of snacks last longer.
After two days she was about to take the risk and break open another apartment in the third floor but before she could do that, everything changed and she escaped from the Long Long's clutches, all thanks to Lu Wuqi.
Though the escape was only temporary but Yun Qingyue had already started having a little hope for her and child.
And at this time, seeing the many packets of proetein bars and biscuits still left on the shelf made her stomach churn from the hunger. And it was only now that she realised that how hungry she had been.
Even though a lot of supplies from the third floor have already been looted and hoarded by people before but the rest that were left were still much more than they could consume and it would be enough to last them for another few days.
Little Yunyue was even more excited than her mother and would have almost jumped up in joy from seeing those unopened packets of snacks and biscuits. When Lu Wuqi was infront of them, Yunyue tried to behave as obediently as possible and didn't show any excitement at all for fear that her mommy would hate her again. But when Lu Wuqi went to wash herself, Her inner child was released to it's fullest and she couldn't wait to urge Yun Qingyue to open the snacks as soon as possible.
Yun Qingyue saw that Yunyue's round almond eyes were almost glowing as she stared at the snacks and there was even a little drool coming out of the corner of her mouth! Her little hands clutched the corner of her clothes tightly as she kept glancing at her mother and the snacks on the shelfs constantly as if indicating something.
Yun Qingyue felt a little distressed by seeing just how sensible this little girl was at her age. Because of this messed up world, she couldn't even let the child enjoy her childhood but had to force her to be sensible at any circumstances. And now when other child her age would have already started crying and urging their mother for food, she still only showed suppressed excitement and didn't cause much noise. Yun Qingyue felt distressed but also proud of how her baby daughter was such a sensible and smart child.
Yun Qingyue didn't want to let the child wait any longer as she immediately cleared the ground infront of the shelf with a piece of cloth that she found lying on one side and say down with the child in her arms. She picked up a box of cashew cookies and another box of rice crackers and a remaining small sized fruit jelly. She checked the packaging of these snacks to ensure that they were completely sealed and no cuts have been made outside. After all, she didn't want to get herself or the child sick by eating any opened snacks that could have any types of bacteria and germs in them including the zombie virus.
After taking all this, Yun Qingyue opened them one by one and placed them infront of her. She then opened the small packet of fruit jelly and handed it to Yunyue because she used to like eating these very much before the end of the world.
Little Yunyue's eyes were almost glowing after seeing her favourite Fruit jelly and immediately took it from her mother's hand and immediately put the fruit jelly into her mouth. Her little face immediately beamed with a bright smile and the content look on her face was really funny to look at.
Yun Qingyue looked down at the child in her arms who was eating this single piece of fruit jelly with such relish and couldn't help but feel a little sad and said,
"Mom is sorry, Yunyue. It's all because mom is useless and Yunyue had to go hungry."
Little Yunyue gulped down the fruit jelly in her mouth after thoroughly letting her tastebuds taste it and when she heard her mother saying this, she immediately denied with a bright smile on her little face,
"No!! Mom. Mom is not useless. Mom is best mom in the world. Yunyue loves mom very much."
After saying this, Little Yunyue turned sideways and immediately buried her little face in Yun Qingyue's arms and said in a muffled voice,
"Mom won't leave Yunyue like mommy does and Yunyue will also always stay with mommy. Hehehe..." Even though Yunyue said this with a laugh at the end but Yun Qingyue still caught the subtle sadness in Yunyue's voice. After all, what Lu Wuqi had done to such a child was truly depressing but thankfully the child is still young and will.forget them in a few years as long as Lu Wuqi continues to be as gentle as she had been when she held the child in her arms before.
Yun Qingyue could only hold the child in her arms tightly as she fed her another biscuit and said with a teasing tone,
"Hmm... My baby has learned to sweet talk, right?"
Yunyue had the biscuits in her mouth nd showed her mom a sily smile after hearing her words and the previously subtle atmosphere also eased completely.
At this point, Yun Qingyue also took a packet of biscuits and rice crackers, opened them and put them into mouth and couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied by them.
Even though these snacks had been the most common part of her life before the end of the world but now these same snacks have become a delicacy for them.
Yun Qingyue and Yunyue ate the a few packets of biscuits and rice crackers with relish and filled their stomach to the brim and they also drank a lot of water to quench their thirst.
So when Lu Wuqi walked over towards them after cleaning herself up, she saw the two hamsters, one big and one small stuffing food Into their little mouths and eating them with a satisfied look on their faces.
As she walked over infront of them, she saw that the water bottle she left before was completely empty so she took out another one from her system space and placed it infront of them.
Yunyue was busy eating and didn't notice her mother for a while but Yun Qingyue noticed her immediately and also saw her take out the bottle out of thin air but she didn't say anything. Her eyes went towards Lu Wuqi who came after cleaning herself and there was still water dripping down her fair neck and onto her collarbones, giving her a sexy charm.
Yun Qingyue immediately looked sideways a little unnaturally and Yunyue also noticed Lu Wuqi at this point.
