Chapter 89: Wei Lan’s Day

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Lan had to admit that she could not understand the conversation between Lu Ming and Zhang Chengcheng.

But, she had one advantage—she did not talk much.

If it was a trivial confusion, she would avoid asking about it.

Zhang Chengcheng led her to the kitchen, and began to cook while Wei Lan assisted in handling the ingredients under her guidance.

As the two women worked, Zhang Chengcheng spoke.

“Before you came, did Iluo Sheng tell you about Brother Lu’s temperament?”

Wei Lan looked serious and said, “No, Professor Iluo just said that Brother Lu is a very good person.”

Zhang Chengcheng nodded with satisfaction, a hint of a smile playing on her lips, “Of course! 1 have never seen anyone as good, kind, and powerful as Brother Lu!”

There must be no lack of daily compliments!

It had practically become Cheng Cheng’s belief.

After sighing, Zhang Chengcheng continued, “But you have to understand that even good people can have some peculiarities.”

Wei Lan quickly nodded.

She understood the principle that no one was perfect.

Zhang Chengcheng continued, “That’s why 1 have to tell you some things to take note of.”

“Sister Chengcheng, please go ahead.”

“First of all, Brother Lu’s house.

This is the most important thing! You can’t enter Brother Lu’s house! Don’t even think about it! That’s Brother Lu’s private territory. Stepping into Brother Lu’s house without permission is equivalent to declaring war on Brother Lu. 1 believe you know the consequences.”

Wei Lan quickly nodded and said that she would definitely not court death.

“Secondly, the distance from Brother Lu.

It’s very difficult for Brother Lu to trust others. It’s your first day here today, so you have to be careful to maintain a distance from Brother Lu. If you get too close to Brother Lu, he won’t be pleased. If Brother Lu is unhappy, no one in our gathering place will be happy.”

With that, Zhang Chengcheng fixed her gaze on Wei Lan, her eyes scanning over her long legs as she solemnly said, “Understand?”

Wei Lan nodded repeatedly, “1 understand.”

Zhang Chengcheng smiled in satisfaction and continued, “Finally, Brother Lu doesn’t like to go out, and he especially dislikes being troubled. So, those of us who assist Brother Lu need to handle whatever affairs we could. If we can’t handle it, we look for Wang Xiong. If Wang Xiong can’t handle it, we turn to Iluo Sheng. In short, don’t bother Brother Lu.”

Wei Lan nodded again. “That’s easy. I’m not the kind of person who causes trouble.”

The food was steaming hot in the pot.

Zhang Chengcheng remained silent for a while after finishing her instructions.

Wei Lan was puzzled, “Sister Chengcheng, is that all?”

Zhang Chengcheng nodded. “Yes, just these three things.”

Therefore, she should not enter Brother Lu’s house, maintain a distance from him, and don’t trouble him unnecessarily.

Wei Lan thought over it and could not help but say, “It seems very simple…”

Cheng Cheng nodded gently. “Because Brother Lu is a simple person. An extremely simple Seeker of the Path!”

“Seeker of the Path?”

“Yes, the Seeker of the Path of Strength!”

It took about an hour for Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan to finish cooking three portions of food. Yes, according to Lu Ming’s rules, from today onwards, Wei Lan’s meals would also be taken care of by Lu Ming.

This was something Lu Ming should do.

With a table full of food served, Lu Ming entered the dining room.

As Lu Ming sat at the head of the table and softly said, “Let’s eat”, the food was devoured by the three Awakened like a tornado.

The meal took about forty minutes!

After the meal, Lu Ming said, “I’m going to take a nap,” and left the dining room, leaving Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan to clean up the dishes.

It did not take long to clean up the dishes.

After finishing their work, Zhang Chengcheng took Wei Lan to a room.

“This will be your bedroom from now on. Are you satisfied with it?”

Looking at the simple one-bedroom apartment, Wei Lan nodded repeatedly. “I’m satisfied.”

The conditions were definitely better than those at the official shelter. After all, there were not many survivors here.

Zhang Chengcheng smiled, “That’s good.”

After saying that, she turned to leave, but Wei Lan stopped her. “By the way, Sister Chengcheng, what about this afternoon? What do I need to do in the afternoon?”

Zhang Chengcheng replied, “We don’t need to do anything specific in the afternoon. It’s Brother Lu’s training time, and he doesn’t need our assistance then. However, it’s best if the two of us are on standby. If Brother calls, we go immediately.”

Wei Lan nodded. “Understood.”

“By the way, go to the kitchen at four o’clock in the afternoon to prepare dinner. Don’t forget this.”

Wei Lan smiled and nodded, “Got it, Sister Chengcheng.”

After Zhang Chengcheng left, Wei Lan walked around her room.

The house was relatively clean and tidy, which suited Wei Lan’s taste.

Feeling tired, Wei Lan lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Wei Lan slept until four in the afternoon.

After being woken up by the alarm clock, Wei Lan hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen. She saw that Zhang Chengcheng had already begun to prepare the ingredients.

After washing her hands, Wei Lan helped while apologizing, “I’m sorry, Sister Chengcheng. I accidentally overslept.”

Zhang Chengcheng smiled and said, “There’s no need to apologize. It was indeed exhausting in the morning, especially when Tier 3 zombie crystals can’t be supplied without limits. But the work in the afternoon is much easier.”

The two women chatted about everyday things as they cooked.

After they had finished dinner, they decided to take a stroll within the shelter. When the food was served, Lu Ming entered the dining room.

Another swift meal.

That night, after strolling around Good Hope Village with Zhang Chengcheng for two hours, Wei Lan returned to her room.

There was not much nightlife in the apocalypse, and Wei Lan was not someone who liked nightlife.

Seeing that it was already past eight o’clock, and knowing that she had to wake up early to prepare breakfast for Lu Ming the next morning, Wei Lan went to bed early. However, she found it difficult to fall asleep.

Recalling everything that had happened throughout the day, Wei Lan realized that from today onwards, her destiny was more or less bound to Lu Ming’s.

She had to admit a fact.

Lu Ming was a dull and uninteresting man.

Being Lu Ming’s assistant was also a boring job.

This job was not challenging, but it was not interesting either.

Assisting with the training, and then cooking and doing the dishes.

Moreover, given Lu Ming’s strength and personality, Wei Lan knew that her job would likely remain the same for a long time.

But, Wei Lan did not have any complaints.

In the apocalypse, it was already the greatest blessing to be able to have a stable life.

Recalling Zhang Chengcheng’s evaluation of Lu Ming in the morning.

“Yes, the Seeker of the Path of Strength!”

It was so appropriate.

He was simple, but determined and steadfast.

He was cautious and careful, never never venturing into danger, but he was constantly growing stronger.

He endured the boredom and monotony, solely to pursue the ultimate path of becoming stronger.

He was like a ball of fire. Even if it was the simplest self-combustion, he could unknowingly bring warmth and radiance to those around him.

“He may not be a hero, but he does things that even heroes cannot do.”

“He has always pursued strength single-mindedly, and yet, in an unconscious way, he influenced numerous people.”

So, if even the savior could tolerate the mundane routine, then what reason did Wei Lan have to be dissatisfied?

With these emotions in her heart, Wei Lan drifted off to sleep..
