Chapter 196 I Remembered
Shortly after dropping Gu Yaoyao off, Xie Ling took her son and went home first.
Although everyone has now moved to the underground shelter, the military's mess hall in the shelter still needs to operate, so she has to rush back to work.
Gu Yaoyao will have to live with them again for the time being, but there is no longer a separate small room for her, and of course, it is impossible for Gu Yaoyao to sleep on the floor by herself.
Just as Yan Fei was having a headache, Yu Jing took the initiative to suggest that Gu Yaoyao sleep with her and Xu Qingtang.
Gu Yaoyao is already 6 years old. It's not suitable for a half-grown child to be with any grown man. Instead, these two ladies are the most suitable.
Yan Fei thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, so he agreed.
Fortunately, Gu Yaoyao was also an easygoing person, so the matter was settled.
The extreme heat came suddenly, and the rest of the days were nothing but torment.
During the day, Zhou Yang and his friends mostly stayed indoors, with the air conditioner on, eating smoothies and playing cards. They would only go outside for some fresh air at night.
But it's still very hot and humid at night, and there's no wind, so you can't stay there for long, at most an hour, and then you feel uncomfortable.
However, with so much communal living, it's inevitable to have some interaction with others. Fortunately, their team is now "notorious," so they haven't encountered any petty troubles.
That day, Zhou Yang and his friends went for a walk and came back to run into the same woman with long, flowing hair from before.
This time, we saw not the back view, but the side view, only the long hair covered most of the other person's face, making it impossible to see clearly.
Zhou Yang admired her for being able to keep her hair so long in the sweltering heat without feeling hot.
Unlike them, who immediately grabbed clippers and shaved their slightly long hair into buzz cuts as soon as they got back.
Even Yu Jing and the other ladies reluctantly cut their long hair into shoulder-length short hair that could be tied up.
"Hey, Xiao Zhou, you're back?" Yu Jing put away the needles and thread that had just been returned and saw Zhou Yang and the others return, so she greeted them.
Zhou Yang smiled and nodded: "Yes, I came back because I was tired. And who is this?"
Yu Jing smiled and said, "Oh, this is Zhang Wan, whom I told you about. Didn't she borrow needles and thread from me a couple of days ago? She returned them to me today."
"So you're Zhang Wan. I heard you helped my aunt before. Thank you." Zhou Yang stepped forward, then smiled gently at the woman who had been keeping her head down.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wan paused for a moment, then slightly raised her head and slowly looked in Zhou Yang's direction. Her sharp chin and slender face made her eyes appear even larger. With her delicate features, white dress, and long hair, she looked pitiful.
She gently tucked her hair behind her ear and said softly, "Hello, I'm Zhang Wan. It was nothing that I was able to help you before, no need to mention it. Besides, you've helped me a lot these past few days, so I should be thanking you."
The girl's clear, bell-like voice carried a touch of coolness, like a mountain stream, refreshing the listener and unconsciously inspiring a sense of goodwill and a desire to help her.
For some reason, Zhou Yang had this feeling, something just didn't feel right, and the more she looked, the more she felt she had seen this person somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where. So she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
But those extra glances he gave made Shen Zechuan, who was behind him, anxious and jealous. He quickly pulled the man back to his side.
"Tsk, why are you staring at her like that?"
"Stop it, I wasn't staring at her!" Zhou Yang slapped him, then whispered in his ear, "I just think she's weird, and kind of familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before, and probably since after the apocalypse. Don't you think she looks familiar?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan tilted his head and glanced at it, then shook his head: "Never seen it before, don't know it."
Zhou Yang then looked at the others behind him, and they all shook their heads.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang sighed, but he still felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help but look at Zhang Wan a few more times. In the end, he was dragged back into the house by Shen Zechuan, who was consumed by jealousy, and that was the end of it.
Yan Fei and the others nodded to Zhang Wan and then followed her into the house.
Only Xu Zhiyi and He Shanshan stayed behind, keeping Yu Jing company and talking to Zhang Wan for a few more minutes. They only went home together after seeing Zhang Wan off.
Inside the door, Zhou Yang, who had been pulled to sit down, still felt something was off. He was sure he had seen this woman before, but perhaps only once, which was why he didn't remember her well.
Seeing Zhou Yang still lost in thought, Shen Zechuan became displeased: "Are you still thinking about that woman outside? What's there to think about? You might as well think about me instead of her." After saying that, he buried his head directly in Zhou Yang's shoulder and neck.
After shaving his head, Shen Zechuan's hair was stiff and prickly, and it was now sticking to Zhou Yang's neck, making her feel itchy. She quickly pushed Shen Zechuan's head away.
"No, don't you really think this woman looks familiar? I feel like I've seen her before! Let me think..."
Shen Zechuan didn't seem to care: "So what if I've seen him? Maybe I just glanced at him somewhere at the base? It's normal not to remember."
Zhou Yang disagreed: "No, with her appearance, white clothes and long hair, if I had only glanced at her in the base, I would definitely remember her."
After saying that, Zhou Yang carefully reviewed the bits and pieces of his time at the base and finally remembered that he had seen a woman with long hair wearing a white dress when he took Gu Yaoyao to the trading market once.
However, that woman was in a sorry state and seemed to be acting crazy. She didn't resemble Zhang Wan at all, except perhaps in terms of body shape.
It shouldn't be the same person, Zhou Yang thought.
Where exactly had he seen this woman before? Zhang Wan's face really looked familiar.
Is it outside the base?
Just as he was racking his brains, Pea nudged his hand, asking for water; she must be thirsty.
Zhou Yang then lowered his head and patted Pea's head, then took out a large basin of spring water from his space, and Pea immediately lowered his head and started drinking.
The sight of this little puppy drinking from a water bowl twice its size is hilarious, and the fact that it can actually drink it all is amazing.
Watching Pea obediently drink water, Zhou Yang suddenly recalled how majestic Pea looked when they went to collect supplies, a stark contrast to its current appearance.
As Zhou Yang was thinking, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind, and his eyes sharpened as he sat up straight.
"I remembered!"
