"Be more respectful in your tone!"

Qu Qin couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked forward, but as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yi gave him a look and drove him away again.

"Xiao Zhou, why are you doing this to your brother? We are brothers, why are you making such a fuss?"

The old man's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a hint of anxiety on his aged face.

"He and I are not brothers. We were both adopted by the Shen family and have no blood relationship!"

Shen Xingzhou's words were cold and hard, but the next second, when he caught a glimpse of the old man's painful expression, his expression suddenly changed:

"Aunt Mei, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yi took a step forward, and his hand, which was about to help, stopped in the air, then he retracted it stiffly.

"It's okay... I'm old and I might not be able to survive if I catch a cold."

Aunt Mei said this with a relieved smile on her face, as if she was comforting the boy in front of her, and also as if she was foreshadowing her own impending departure.

Shen Xingzhou frowned tightly: "Don't say such things again, Aunt Mei, you will live a long life."

"Xiao Zhou, please, for the sake of an old man like me, stop speaking harshly to your brother and let me talk to him alone."

The old man's tone was gentle, almost coaxing the young man in front of him.

Shen Xingzhou hesitated for two seconds, then turned around and walked out: "You guys go in and talk, it's cold outside."

Shen Yi's pale hand finally supported the old man's arm, and the two of them slowly walked inside.

The ventilation facilities and drainage systems in the safe fortress are very complete, so even though it is located underground, there are several bonfires inside the fortress, and the temperature is much warmer than that of the outside area.

After they reached a warm place and settled the old woman down, Shen Yi sat beside her.

After scanning her old face and the wrinkles reflected in the firelight, Shen Yi looked away.

"I'm really happy to hear that you just said you've been looking for me."

Although Aunt Mei's voice is old, her gentleness seems to have the power to soothe people's hearts.

"Xiao Zhou previously speculated that you were the one who acquiesced to kicking me out of the base after the zombie virus broke out. I never believed it, but it turns out..."

As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly, with a faint smile on her lips, as if she was recalling something.

"I was out killing zombies. When I came back, I found out that you were kicked out of the base. My father said it was a mistake made by his men."

Shen Yi explained in a low voice, his narrow eyes staring directly at the jumping flames, with a hint of desolation and fatigue in his eyes.

Aunt Mei's smile deepened. She groped for Shen Yi's cold hand and held it in hers:

"You have always valued friendship since you were young. Although six years ago... you suddenly fell seriously ill, and after you recovered, you seemed a little inhuman..."

The old man sighed slightly and said, "But I know that you have always had a kind heart. Maybe it was covered up by Mr. Shen's elite education, but it has never changed."

The old man's words seemed to pull Shen Yi back to distant memories.

The memory of that night was a little hazy. He only remembered that he woke up in pain from his sleep. When he woke up, every part of his body was in pain. Wherever he looked, the horrible blue veins on his skin bulged out and appeared dark blue.

His heart was beating so violently that it was extremely difficult for him to breathe.

That night, he really thought he was going to die.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally survived the crisis with the help of a group of doctors.

But it also left a root of disease.

Permanently lost the sense of taste, smell, and even...

Along with it, most of the human emotions such as sadness, joy, resentment and anger have been lost.

The boring, harsh and even cruel daily training and business courses have become less unacceptable.

He began to miss his sacrificed parents less, and began to think less about leaving the cold and ruthless Shen family. In the alienation, he forgot the agreement he made with his adopted brother Shen Xingzhou.

Shen Xingzhou waited for him the whole night on the night they agreed to escape from prison together, but he had long forgotten about it.

Finally, I saw the little boy who was beaten and covered in blood in Shen’s punishment room.

The look he gave him at that time was filled with hatred to the extreme.

"Yier, look at this, this is an ungrateful wolf that can never be tamed."

"My Shen family doesn't need an ungrateful person like Shen Xingzhou. Throw him out and give him the freedom he wants."

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

He remembered that he had a splitting headache at the time, and the men in suits around him came and went, dragging out the little boy who was beaten all over his body.

He saw Shen Xingjian wheeling his wheelchair closer, looking at him with a loving and kind look:

"Yier, you are still grateful. It's worth it that I lost my legs to save your parents."

The memory ends here.

Shen Yi lowered his eyes.

He six years ago... was too far away, so far away that he couldn't even remember it.

But Aunt Mei, who had brought him up since he entered the Shen family, still remembered it.

She was almost like a second mother to him.

"Aunt Mei, come back to the Southern Alliance with me."

Shen Yi looked at the old man beside him and spoke softly.

Aunt Mei shook her head: "I don't like the cold Shen family, I never have."

As she spoke, she groped her hands and gently helped Shen Yi straighten the wrinkled collar of his cotton coat, and said slowly:

"Don't worry about me, Xiaozhou takes good care of me..."

As she spoke, she raised her old hand and groped carefully, her trembling fingertips stroking his sharp eyebrows and eyes, and she smiled happily:

"It's always good to have a hard heart so you won't get hurt easily. I feel relieved to see that you are doing well."
