Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse-Chapter 446

At this moment, two small figures were crouched in a dark corner, looking rather sneaky.

"You don't love me anymore..."

"I never loved you in the first place."

The voices of a man and a woman drifted over from a nearby corner.

"You heartless woman!"

"Think whatever you want, just don’t fall for me—loving me leads nowhere..."

Hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao twitched her lips.

She shot an exasperated glance at Qu Xiaobei, who was listening with great interest.

"Is this what you meant by 'something fun'?"

Eavesdropping on others?

And this kind of conversation?

Qu Xiaobei nodded earnestly. "Yeah, yeah."

As she spoke, she even pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket.

"Want some?" she asked sincerely.

Yun Xiaoxiao: "...No thanks."

With that, she turned to leave.

"You’re not gonna watch anymore?" Qu Xiaobei asked, puzzled.

Yun Xiaoxiao: "...You enjoy yourself."

"Oh~"

Qu Xiaobei responded lightly before happily turning back, munching on her seeds while continuing to eavesdrop with relish.

Yun Xiaiao shook her head with a helpless smile.

She walked forward and happened to spot Shen Yan sitting alone in a corner.

His head was bowed as he gently stroked two objects in his hands, his entire demeanor radiating loneliness and sorrow.

Yun Xiaoxiao approached him.

A can of ice-cold cola suddenly appeared in her hand.

"Want some?" She held it out to Shen Yan.

Hearing her voice, Shen Yan froze.

He quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes before looking up at her.

"Thanks."

He took the can, forcing a weak smile.

But it was clear his spirits were low.

Not wanting to intrude, Yun Xiaoxiao turned to leave.

She had only approached because she couldn’t bear seeing him so despondent.

After all, she had quite a fondness for Shen Yan’s mother.

That woman had been special.

Though their time together had been brief, Yun Xiaoxiao could feel the genuine affection she’d held for her.

Her sudden passing had left Yun Xiaoxiao deeply moved.

She didn’t want the woman’s only son to drown in grief forever.

The old Shen Yan had been wild and unrestrained, rebellious as a monkey, always causing trouble without a care in the world.

But that carefree existence had been rare and precious.

Now, Shen Yan seemed to have shed his youthful recklessness overnight, maturing far too quickly.

It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it felt like something was missing.

"Can you stay with me for a while?"

Just as Yun Xiaoxiao took a step away, Shen Yan suddenly murmured.

His voice carried a hint of pleading.

Yun Xiaoxiao paused.

Then, she sat down beside him.

Neither spoke, simply sitting in silence.

Yet, despite the lack of words, the atmosphere wasn’t awkward at all.

Shen Yan kept rubbing a jade bracelet and a photograph in his hands.

The photo showed a family portrait—him, Shen Tianlei, and Jin Zhuyan.

In it, Shen Yan was clutching his head, dramatically shielding his hair as if begging for mercy.

Jin Zhuyan had a firm grip on his locks, her expression clearly scolding him.

Meanwhile, Shen Tianlei was handing her a feather duster, perfectly playing along—clearly enjoying the spectacle, if not outright encouraging a joint parental beatdown.

Though just a still image, it felt vividly alive.

It was a snapshot of their chaotic yet warm and happy family life.

A life that would never return.

After a long silence, Shen Yan finally spoke.

"Originally, my mom wore a jade bracelet.

My dad saved up for ages to buy it as a proposal gift.

She didn’t like rings—she loved anything green, said it made her happy.

But I was too mischievous. One time, I accidentally shattered it.

She gave me a beating.

Well, more like a scolding. She always made a big show of it but never actually hit hard.

Yet back then, I cried like it was the end of the world. She thought she’d hurt me and started crying too, blaming herself..."

A faint smile tugged at Shen Yan’s lips as he recalled the memory.

But tears also slipped from the corners of his eyes.

"Then I burst out laughing and told her I’d tricked her. She pinched my ear and lectured me for ages after that.

But she never raised a hand against me again.

Afterward, we gathered the broken pieces and took them to a shop to make this bracelet."

Shen Yan stared at the bracelet, his eyes filled with longing.

Yun Xiaoxiao wasn’t sure how to comfort him.

She pulled out a plain lollipop from her pocket.

"If you’re sad, eat this."

Her expression was serious, not a hint of jest.

Shen Yan stared at her blankly.

After a moment, he took the lollipop, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.

"Yeah, it’s sweet."

A genuine smile finally appeared on his face.

As if all the bitterness and sorrow had melted away with that single taste of sugar.

"I want some too."

"Me too."

Suddenly, two unwelcome voices chimed in almost simultaneously.

After Tong Zhan’s zombie army was wiped out, everyone returned to their respective battle zones.

They pressed their advantage, systematically clearing out the remaining zombies in each region.

The prolonged campaign lasted nearly a year.

So long that the extreme heat gave way to another wave of extreme cold.

Strangely, ever since the apocalypse began,

spring and autumn seemed to have vanished from the world.

The seasons swung between scorching heat and freezing cold, with no in-between.

Though the zombies in Hua Country were gone, mutated plants and animals still plagued the survivors.

Coupled with relentless natural disasters, life remained far from easy.

But no one let the hardships break them. Instead, they persevered, thriving against the odds.

Many moved back from remote areas into the cities, rebuilding their homes from scratch.

Infrastructure like water, electricity, and communication networks were gradually restored.

Life was still tough, but bit by bit, things were improving.

Everyone held onto hope, believing a brighter future would come.

Yun City.

Yun Xiaoxiao lay on the grass, hands behind her head, gazing at the sky.

A gentle breeze played with the strands of hair on her forehead, brushing against her long lashes.

Everything felt peaceful, as if time had slowed.

"Kid, dinner’s ready!"

Nie Yizhou’s voice suddenly rang out from the hillside.

Yun Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and turned her head.

Nie Yizhou was waving excitedly at her.

Beside him stood Lu Chen, Ling Jing, Mu Yang, and Xiao Feng, hands in their pockets, smiling at her.

The corners of Yun Xiaoxiao’s lips curled faintly.

She got to her feet.

"Yeah, coming!"

In the past, whenever she looked back, there had been nothing.

Now, as she looked back, there was a warm and welcoming home.
