Chapter 221: Subtle kindness
Bai Meiyue finally found what she was looking for and handed Yun Chuan the pack of cookies that she carried with her. “Here, I cannot bake cookies for you but I hope that when you think of the warm memories of your past, you will remember that your sister and mother wouldn’t want you to lose yourself.”
When Yun Chuan saw the pack of cookies, he burst into tears. Though the cookies were not as sweet as the ones that his sister made, they still carried an inexplicable warmth. He took a few more bites of the cookies and looked at Bai Meiyue gratefully before saying, “Thank you, Miss Bai.”
He knew that Bai Meiyue was a woman of few words but every word of hers was heartfelt.
Bai Meiyue nodded but didn’t say anything more. She truly hoped that Yun Chuan would take her advice and not give up on himself. Because in her last life, this sunny and bright man turned into a gloomy and soft-tempered tyrant.
Because of what happened to his sister and mother, Yun Chuan became extremely obsessed with the idea of eradicating scum. Though Bai Meiyue agreed that what Yun Chuan wanted to do was right, because of his obsession, he was used by many women who lied to him by telling him that certain men had hurt them.
Those men were innocent and because they were killed by Yun Chuan without any reason, people started calling him a tyrant and a crazy bastard.
Bai Meiyue couldn’t help bring his family back but she hoped that Yun Chuan would live a good life for their sake.
“Mister Yun—”
“You can call me Brother Chuan.” Yun Chuan turned and smiled at Bai Meiyue, his watery eyes alight with millions of stars. He said to her, “Likewise, I will call you Sister Meiyue.”
Bai Meiyue had nothing against it, so she didn’t refuse and said, “Brother Chuan, can you make a small opening between the vines? I want to step out for a while.”
“Are you going to collect more nuclei?” Yun Chuan asked. He thought that Bai Meiyue wanted to collect more crystal nuclei as she didn’t get enough in the morning.
Thinking about it, it was a little unfair to Bai Meiyue. She was the one who taught them indirectly that the crystal nuclei could be used to upgrade one’s strength and skills and she was the one suffering because they took almost all the crystal nuclei in the morning.
When Yun Chuan thought about it, he couldn’t help but become embarrassed.
However, before he could offer her the crystal nuclei he collected in the afternoon, he heard Bai Meiyue say, “No, I want to capture the mutated cow.”
“The mutated cow?” Yun Chuan’s face turned sickly green when he recalled seeing the cows eating the flesh of a rotten corpse. “Why do you want those mutated cows for Sister Bai? Those monsters are no longer the same. They now survive by eating flesh.”
“I know,” Bai Meiyue nodded. But when she saw the confusion in Yun Chuan’s eyes, she said, “What kind of world are we living in? Do you think that we will be able to continue hunting for supplies forever? Sooner or later, we will run out of them as well. Isn’t it better to prepare a plan for the future?”
“These mutated cows have evolved into flesh-eating monsters, but what if they can still be raised and milked like normal cows? Isn’t it better to catch them and tame them before they become completely wild?”
“Even if we cannot use them to get milk, we can still eat their flesh. Don’t think about what they ate while living in this village. If you want to survive even if you have to eat a dry piece of bark, you should do it.”
As a person who was living in the apocalypse twice, what kind of things had Bai Meiyue not seen? There was a time where she also had to stop and eat the bark of a tree because she was so hungry that she was about to fall unconscious.
Compared to eating a dry piece of bark, she would rather eat the meat of a flesh-eating cow.
More importantly, these flesh-eating cows could still be domesticated. In her last life, only the early breed of these mutated cows could be kept as livestock; the rest were killed and disposed of because the toxicity level of their milk was too high for human consumption.
Some people even turned into zombies because they underestimated the warnings of the officials.
Yun Chuan couldn’t say anything against this because he knew that Bai Meiyue was right. Even if there were countless supplies at the moment, sooner or later, with the world falling into chaos like this, these supplies would run out as well. What would they do then?
Wasn’t it better to plan ahead?
“Then I will —”
“I will go with her,” Lei Qian glared at Yun Chuan, feeling both annoyed and frustrated; he could not understand. Why was it that Yun Chuan was given cookies while he was given kicks?
Just now he really wanted to intervene when he saw how caring Bai Meiyue was towards Yun Chuan but he knew that if he did that, Bai Meiyue would become even more upset with him.
He could only restrain himself but what was up with this brat? How dare he act so enthusiastic towards the woman of his brother?
Yun Chuan cleared his throat and smiled sheepishly at Lei Qian. He really didn’t mean anything. He saw that Bai Meiyue was quite upset with Lei Qian the entire afternoon and thus suggested going with her.
Of course, if he had known that Lei Qian was following her, he wouldn’t have suggested anything and kept his mouth shut.

Lei Qian snorted when he saw the flattering smile on Yun Chuan’s face but when his gaze met with Bai Meiyue who was staring at him like a tigress, he lowered his head and immediately plastered a flattering smile on his lips.
“To where, Miss Bai?”
