Zombie Sister Strategy

The two girls had been calling Dong Xinxin’s brother ‘Lijia’. So, Lin Wenwen figured that her brother was named Dong Lijia. Based on what Dong Lijia said to the two girls, she guessed that Dong Xinxin liked the two girls very much.

Clearly, Dong Xinxin was either unsophisticated or silly. Judging by the clothes that she was wearing, Lin Wenwen could guess where Dong Xinxin’s IQ was set.

The two girls coaxed her into purchasing the clothes that she was wearing while her brother wasn’t with her. Just now, Dong Lijia took her to a shopping mall and bought her some other clothes because he found what she wore not suitable for her.

Great! Her brother was not only handsome, but also rich!

Dong Xinxin the girl didn’t seem to be in lack of money either, because she had quite a few secondary credit cards in her wallet!

“Xinxin, what’s happening to you today? You’re not talking much. Are you feeling unwell?” The straight-haired girl looked at Lin Wenwen and asked.

The girl was named Lin Yuehui. Her target wasn’t Dong Lijia. It was the cold and handsome boy who was sitting beside Dong Lijia.

Qin Jiao, the girl with a ponytail, came for Dong Lijia.

Hearing Lin Yuehui’s question, Lin Wenwen silently glanced at Dong Lijia. He had been answering all the questions for her. She didn’t even need to worry that she might accidentally say something to expose her-true-self.

Dong Lijia clearly loved Dong Xinxin deeply. However, he really did have low EQ as he never paid attention to what other people were thinking.

“No,” Lin Wenwen smiled and shook her head.

“She must be unhappy because I didn’t let her buy shoes,” Dong Lijia glanced at Lin Wenwen, then turned and said to Lin Yuehui. While speaking, he put a prawn in Lin Wenwen’s bowl with his chopsticks.

Looking at the perfectly normal prawn in her bowl that was nothing like the weird, mutated prawns in the post-apocalyptic era, Lin Wenwen almost drooled. As she picked up her chopsticks and prepared to remove the prawn shell, another pair of chopsticks reached into her bowl from sideways and took away the prawn!

“Jia, Xinxin doesn’t eat prawns. Have you forgotten that again?” Deng Chenfei who took away the prawn said to Dong Lijia with discontentment.

“Ah… Oh!” His words reminded Dong Lijia. “I’m sorry,” he said, “I was going to put it in my own bowl. I forgot and then put it into yours.”

Lin Wenwen, who watched the prawn being taken away from her bowl, felt speechless.

‘She doesn’t like it, but I do! Give my prawn back to me!‘ she yelled in her head.

She pictured herself kicking Deng Chenfei so hard over and over again, but still, all she could really do was look at him quietly.

“Lijia, I think you’ve been too strict with Xinxin. You decide what clothes to buy for her, and you wouldn’t let her buy shoes. I’d be unhappy too if I were her,” said Qin Jiao with a sweet voice.

“I didn’t forbid you from buying shoes. I just want you to buy suitable ones. I didn’t let you buy those shoes because they don’t suit you. Trust your brother, you won’t look good in those shoes,” Dong Lijia looked at Lin Wenwen and said.

Lin Wenwen was staring at her empty bowl with a grievance. Hearing what he said, she raised her head and glanced at him silently. Then, she reached her chopsticks toward the chicken.

‘If you don’t want to be exposed, do not eat the chicken. Pick some vegetables.’ The voice that was heard from Lin Wenwen’s mind once was suddenly heard again.

Lin Wenwen paused briefly, then quickly turned her chopsticks toward the vegetables. In the meanwhile, she dropped her eyelids to cover the look in her eyes.

‘Who are you? Did you bring me here?’ Lin Wenwen picked some vegetables. While eating, she asked the question in her mind.

‘You can say that it was me who brought you back here, and you can say that it wasn’t me. You are an accident.’

‘What do you mean?‘ Lin Wenwen said.

‘This body is mine. This girl is me.’ The voice said coldly.

Lin Wenwen swallowed the vegetable in her mouth, then said to the voice in her mind with surprise, ‘Eh? Did you come back here from seven years later? Seven years after the apocalypse happened? Why did you bring me back with you then?’

However, the voice in her mind faded again. The girl who claimed to be Dong Xinxin didn’t answer her question.

‘Oi, answer my question!’ said Lin Wenwen anxiously, ‘Why did you bring me to seven years ago? What do you mean by ‘accident’? Can I still go back to seven years later? Where is my body?’ 

She jumped back to seven years ago without knowing how and ended up in someone else’s body. She was going to find herself. Since she had traveled back to seven years ago, there must be another her in the world. As long as she found herself in this timeline or her sister and then told everybody to stock food and water, people wouldn’t need to be all panicked and helpless when the apocalypse happened.

But then, she realized that she didn’t die before jumping back in time. What if she still needed to go back to where she came from? If everything changed from this timeline, what would the world be like when she returned to seven years later?

What if she changed people’s lives and caused the butterfly effect?

In fact, what she was worried the most was that, if she changed everything, she might not be able to go back to where she came from. If that happened, she would have to keep living with her current body and identity while watching her other self.

Her families would become strangers and some strangers would become her families. Even thinking about that scared her! She didn’t want that! She wanted to go back to seven years later, back to the post-apocalyptic world that she had managed to adapt to, back to her family.

Also, why did the real owner of her body fall into silence again?

“Xinxin, are you okay? Why don’t you eat?” As Lin Wenwen was struggling in her mind, Dong Lijia’s voice was suddenly heard and a hand was waved before her eyes.

“Eh… what?” Lin Wenwen came back to her senses.

“Eat. Why aren’t you eating anything? What are you thinking about?” Dong Lijia looked at her with confusion.

Lin Wenwen glanced at the others, who were looking at her confusedly.

She was so shocked just now that she even forgot to manage her expression. Realizing that, she gave a start and quickly adjusted herself.

“Oh, oh, nothing. I might be a little tired. I’m not really hungry…” Seeing those foods on the table which were very rare and precious in the post-apocalyptic world, Lin Wenwen regretted what she said once she said that.

Dong Lijia put a plate of fish before her and moved the chicken away, then said, “You still have to eat something. We’ve been shopping all day. I think you’re probably really tired. Let’s finish the meal and head back. You need to pack your things and go to school tomorrow. Your grade will probably only get you to an average college though. It’s alright! After college, you don’t have to work if you don’t want to. Your brother will support your life. Don’t give yourself so much pressure!

Lin Wenwen didn’t feel pressure when she heard the word ‘school’. However, Dong Lijia’s words made her feel speechless.

Was he comforting her or mocking her?
