The midday sun was a bit harsh.

Walking out of the bar, Chen Yu's marching backpack became a little heavier again. He got on his motorbike and sped all the way, turning a few corners before slowly stopping in the open-air parking lot in front of a small eight-story building.

Located in the centre of town, it is the safest residential area in the entire town. To be able to live here, you need not only enough money, but also enough status, and of course, you need to have the care of Mayor William.

Before the doorbell could be pressed, the security door was opened from the inside, and a little girl with a pink bear puppet in her arms blocked the door menacingly.

The girl was about eight or nine years old, her long black hair was scattered casually on her shoulders, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her black eyes were as bright as stars.

She leaned her back against one side of the doorframe, wrapped her arms around the bear, and one foot against the other doorframe, blocking her way. Squinted at Chen Yu with big eyes and looked Chen Yu up and down.

"Yo, I still know to come back! This time it's only half a day late, and I'm not injured yet, so I'm improving! ”

"Thank you! 4 hours late, to be exact. Chen Yu said with a smile.

July sneered, "Do you think this is complimenting you?" Leave my underage sister at home alone and run out to fool around by herself...... Forget it, it's a shameful violation of the agreement...... Moreover, the meals were all cold. ”

"This ......"

"Hmph, the wings are stiff, you can fly solo, and the excuse is too lazy to prepare."

Chen Yu scratched his head in embarrassment, and avoided Qiyue's eyes with a little weakness, "I ......"

"Forget it, I don't want to hear it. Anyway, there's nothing new in turning it over and over again! Either help the old lady cross the street, or apply sunscreen to the young lady...... Oh, I made up a new reason last time, I got lost while parking downstairs! ”

"Uh...... This ......"

July is even more vigorous, and has completely grasped the initiative, "If I don't listen, do you really have to say nothing?" Don't you know that women are often duplicitous? ”

Chen Yujiao's green tendons jumped, "You ......"

July: "Without your worry-free brother at home, I don't have to be busy wiping your ass all day long, my life is very happy!" Chen Yu, it's not me nagging, how old do you say, can't you be mature? Hey, it seems that you can only find a woman to marry as soon as possible to make you more stable. Go up and downstairs to Aunt Zhang......

Chen Yu closed his eyes, and his breathing became a little heavier, "Seven ......"

July: "Don't even have a name and surname, you have something to say, but before you say it, think about whether you are worthy of your conscience, I do all the housework, I am busy like a nanny every day, I eat you, I care about your clothes, and I have to be complained by you, what I want, it's not all for your good......"

It's okay to be blocked by his sister at the door, and he was choked like a scumbag by the reprimand of his head and face.

Seeing more and more heads poking out of the cracks in the doors of the neighbors, the majesty and image of the elder brother were seriously slandered and provoked.

The experience of the struggle over the past three years has shown that blind concessions cannot be exchanged for dignity, peace, and the stability of the family's status.

Qiyue was keenly aware of Chen Yu's strangeness, and with a hint of foreboding in his heart, he quietly took a few steps back.

"Hey, hey, what do you want to do, I'm reasoning with you...... Chen Yu, don't pull my braids...... I warn you, it is a crime to assault a minor! ”

"Chen Yu, I'm going to sue you—"

After some chickens and dogs, the family finally returned to the loving situation of brothers, friends and sisters.

July pouted with her hair, which had been ravaged like a bird's nest by a devil's claw, and twisted her head to the side in a huff.

Chen Yu proudly enjoyed the four dishes and one soup made by his sister. It's too untechnical to quarrel or something, and if you communicate with your sister, it's more effective to suppress it directly!

It's just that there is a long way to go in the aftermath.

"Angry?"

"Humph!"

"Really angry? Okay...... It was me who was wrong, and I apologize to you! ”

"Hmph, tell me, what's wrong!"

"You shouldn't lie, you shouldn't go home beyond the agreed time, you shouldn't quarrel with your sister, you shouldn't make your sister the cutest and most beautiful sister in the world who cares about her brother the most-"

The smile on July's face loomed, struggling to maintain a cold and serious image, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Hmm...... Also, you shouldn't rub your sister's hair. After all, if a child is touched on the top of his head, he will not grow tall......"

July was deceived by a series of sugar-coated shells, and let his guard down, but he was really able to give him a soft slump. Suddenly, he was shaken, and the sore spot was mended, and he instantly became angry and pounced with his fists.

"You...... Chen Yu, I am inseparable from you! ”

Chen Yu stretched out a hand and coldly pressed Qiyue's forehead, making his sister understand the unevenness of the world. The girl with teeth and claws can't even touch the placket of his clothes.

Sure enough, there is nothing more enjoyable and decompressing than bullying your sister.

"Ding Zero-Zero-"

A tight doorbell interrupted the siblings' warm routine.

July stood on tiptoe and glanced out of the cat's eye, then opened the door, "It's Miss Helena!" ”

Outside the door was a tall, thin young woman, twenty-five or sixteen years old, with recognizable fiery red hair, a cold face, wearing a white shirt and a short skirt.

The clothes are in the same vein as Liya, but the figure is ...... Compared with the bumpy Lia, she is simply the other extreme, a walking bamboo pole.

Chen Yu sighed secretly while slushing his mouth.

Helena glanced at the dining table without a trace, and the corners of her mouth curled into a standard professional smile, and said to July, "I'm sorry to disturb the two of you eating." Mr. William has just been assigned an urgent task, and Chen Yu needs to go with me immediately. ”

July nodded helplessly.

"I ......"

As soon as Chen Yu was about to raise an objection, Helena interrupted him in a gentle and irrefutable tone: "Time is pressing, we will talk about the details of the task as we go." ”

"By the way, Miss July, rest early in the evening. Your brother shouldn't be back tonight. ”

Chen Yu opened his mouth, but he could only reluctantly accept the fate of being at the mercy of others:

"The old vampire, the evil capitalist, can't see others idle. Will the most effective employee die if he takes a breather? ”

A few silver-white stars slowly climbed up the empty sky, and the few starlight could not tear through the heavy night, so most of the time the night of the old land was blind.

And where starlight can't reach, it's a forbidden area for humans.

In the aftermath of the cataclysm, the world has changed unpredictably, taking on the dilapidated and desolate nature of an old-world disaster movie—ubiquitous radiation, frequent pollution, mutated lives, and lost civilizations.

And on the ground, there have also been significant changes.

The night sky, forever lost to the moon.

As the only two staff members in the mayor's office, for the sake of harmonious workplace relationships and peace of personal life, Chen Yu, as the chief assistant, feels the responsibility to correct the work attitude of his colleague, Helena, the chief secretary of the mayor.

"Helena, a woman's youth is as fleeting as a delicate flower, and she should be cared for, not just obsessed with work, which is only a part of life after all. The combination of work and rest can manage a beautiful life. ”

"Mr. William's will is above all else." Helena said reverently, "Beyond that, let's introduce this mission first!" ”

"According to the Guard's registration, the number of fresh faces entering the town has increased by 30 percent in the last week. This phenomenon is not normal, you must know that there are no signs of large caravans moving around recently. ”

"Moreover, there is no news of Mr. William's connections in Safe City."

"It was so quiet. This quiet is often a sign before a storm is coming. Our Blackwater Town is just a tiny boat in the angry sea, and with more information, we can make more preparations. That's what we're doing this for, and only we're in a position to take some of the pressure off Mr. William, who is too hard-working......"

Hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes and sneered, "Heh...... Tired? Helena, could you please expand and describe what a middle-aged fat man who is either fishing or paddling every day, and who leaves all his work to his secretary and assistant, does to be worthy of the sacred word 'hard work'? ”

"Your preconceptions about Mr. William are too deep, and you will only be selective about the one-sided information you want to see...... This seriously affects your objective evaluation of Mr. William! ”
