Chapter 906: Turning to help the women
"Achoo! Achoo!"
Bai Meiyue rubbed her nose and wondered out loud. "Who is it? Who is the one talking bad behind my back?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Wanning looked at Bai Meiyue with a hint of amusement in her eyes. "Who can talk behind your back? It must be because you haven’t been wearing many layers these past few days and ended up catching a cold."
Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes when she heard Yan Wanning’s response. "Mom, what are you talking about? I am an ice ability user. My body is colder than normal human beings; even if I wear ten to twenty layers of clothing, I will still be cold. So there is no point in me wearing sweaters." She stopped wearing the extra scarves and coats after a month passed. After all, even if she wore extra layers, she would still feel cold. So why even bother?
Yan Wanning: ".."
She hated to admit that what Bai Meiyue was saying was indeed correct. Her daughter was ice cold no matter what. Even when she pushed her into a tub of hot water, her daughter would remain cold. She had tried everything but nothing worked for her.
"You are really...I don’t even know what to say." Yan Wanning grabbed an apple and started to cut it into pieces for Bai Meiyue to eat. She wanted to say something but she did not know where to start. Her daughter had an answer for everything.
She turned to look at Bai Meiyue and instead of insisting that she wore extra clothes, she changed the topic. "Yueyue, when are you holding the one-month banquet for Little Cai? He is going to be one month soon."
"I will hold it on the day he was born." Bai Meiyue thought about it a little and answered. She was thinking of shifting the full moon banquet a few days later but then decided against it. In her past life, she could not hold any full moon banquet for her son. After all, the Bai family did not care about her at all. Since they did not care about her, how could they even care about her son? So how could there be a full moon banquet?
Back then, she also hated and blamed Bai Cai and did not care about his full moon banquet.
But now, she wanted to give her son everything she could.
"On the day he was born? Why are you in such a hurry? You can also hold it a day or two later." Yan Wanning frowned when she heard that Bai Meiyue wanted to hold the full moon banquet right when the first month finished. She could not help but furrow her brows and ask, "Yueyue? Is everything okay? I have sensed that you have become even more protective and sensitive after giving birth."
Bai Meiyue pursed her lips. Indeed. She had become way more sensitive than she was in the past. After she gave birth, all she could think about was her son and making sure that nothing happened to him. She had no idea—since when did she become so protective of someone? But since she laid eyes on her son, Bai Meiyue knew that she was not going to let her son suffer even the slightest little bit.
"My son will get everything that he deserves." Bai Meiyue was determined to give her son everything that she could not in her past life.
Yan Wanning sighed. She had no idea what was going on with her daughter.
"I am going out." Now that she was done with her confinement, Bai Meiyue wanted to go out and walk around the safe base. For a woman who had been trapped inside her room for a month, what else could be better than going outside?
"Why don’t you stay inside a bit more?" Yan Wanning asked. She was worried that her daughter would run around the safe base and might even cause trouble for herself. The last time she asked her daughter to stay at home, the woman rushed out of the house and fought with zombies. She could not allow that to happen. Even if Bai Meiyue was feeling alright, she was still recovering; she was not in any condition to fight zombies.
Bai Meiyue shook her head. "I will not. I am tired of staying inside the house all day long."
With that, she picked up her son and rushed out of her room in a hurry. She was worried that if she was another second late, then her mother would definitely stop her.
Seeing her run, Yan Wanning was speechless. "There is no need to run so fast. I am not going to stop you." She was worried that Bai Meiyue would end up stumbling if she were to run so fast. However, Bai Meiyue pretended as if she did not hear what her mother had said and hurried out of the house with an excited look.
As soon as she left the mansion, she ran into Meng Suisui.
"Where are you going?" Meng Suisui asked when she saw Bai Meiyue hurrying outside. She frowned when she saw that Bai Meiyue was in a hurry. "Did something happen? Is the safe base attacked? Why are you running?"
"I wanted to look around the safe base." Bai Meiyue patted her son, who was getting whiny in her arms and then turned to Meng Suisui. "What about you? Where are you going?"
"Outside." Meng Suisui pointed at the gates that were closed. "I collected some supplies for the women and the elderly. They had enough to eat, but they don’t have enough to wear on their bodies and feet. It’s fine for men to walk around half-naked, but what about women? We cannot have their bodies left bare. What if they are taken advantage of?"
Meng Suisui knew that the survivors could not be allowed to stay inside, but she could still help them by giving the women some clothes. She had noticed that many women were roaming around in torn clothes with nothing on their bodies. At first, she wanted to ignore these women, but in the end, she couldn’t turn her back on those women.
