I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 587 What She Loves Is a Peaceful Life

587 What She Loves Is a Peaceful Life
The three of them hoped that Shen Teng’s condition would improve. The three of them sat by the table, chatting while waiting for Shen Teng to wake up. They did not feel bored. The three of them were having a good time, but the mother and daughter outside had already turned against each other. As the three sat in the tent, they could vaguely hear the quarrels coming from the courtyard, but they could not hear what the two of them were arguing about.
Du Yue could not be bothered with the two of them. Although Xia Ju liked to watch this sort of thing, she did not want to spectate the mother-daughter feud at this moment. Other lively scenes would make her feel that life was full of drama, but Zhang Hui was a person who had let her see the viciousness of human nature. She felt disgusted.
Another 20 minutes passed and the bottle of water was finally drunk by Shen Teng. After Xia Ju was done, Shen Teng slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that he had woken up, He Xing went forward and asked with concern, “Are you still feeling uncomfortable?”
Shen Teng had just opened his eyes, and his consciousness was still a little muddled. He followed the voice and looked at He Xing, but his eyes still showed confusion. After another two minutes, Shen Teng said in a hoarse voice, “I’m alright. I’m much better than before.”
“Although you’re still running a fever, you’re out of danger,” Xia Ju reminded him. “However, you still have to take the medicine on time. Otherwise, you might have a high fever again. Since you’re awake, do you want to eat something?”
Shen Teng wanted to shake his head to express that he did not need to eat, but he was forced to stop just as he shook his head. His head was now like a ball that had been kicked. As long as he moved slightly, he would feel dizzy and want to vomit. “I don’t have much of an appetite,” Shen Teng answered.
“If you don’t want to eat, then drink some salt water. Your fever lasted for so long, and you’re dehydrated.” He Xing poured a glass of water and added half a spoonful of salt. He then helped Shen Teng sit up and let him drink the glass of water.
Shen Teng gulped down the water, his lips cracked and bleeding. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Zhang Hui did not feed him any water when he was unconscious.
After drinking a cup of water, Shen Teng’s eyes became much clearer. “How did you know about my illness?” he asked. “Did Zhang Hui tell you?”
Du Yue nodded. “She told us, but the situation might not be what you expected.” Du Yue hesitated. Shen Teng had just woken up. If she told him about Zhang Hui scheming against him at this time, would it be a blow to him?
Du Yue hesitated, but Shen Teng suddenly said, “It’s okay. Just say it. No matter what the truth is, I can accept it.”
Anyway, she would have to tell him the truth sooner or later. Since Shen Teng had taken the initiative to ask, Du Yue did not hesitate anymore. Du Yue spoke softly and roughly recounted the sequence of events to Shen Teng. Then, Xia Ju took out her phone and played the recording for Shen Teng to hear.
As the recording played, the few of them tacitly quieted down. Shen Teng’s vision was empty. He stared blankly at the air for a long time, thinking about something. Du Yue and the other two did not say anything else. They just quietly waited for Shen Teng to accept this sudden blow.
However, not long after that, Shen Teng suddenly laughed. Xia Ju was standing beside him, so she noticed it first. “Are you mad? Why are you laughing?” Xia Ju said it bluntly, but Du Yue had the same thoughts.
Shen Teng noticed that Du Yue and the other two could not bear it but he was still smiling happily. The relaxed smile that was emitted from the inside could not be deceived.
“Actually, I had already guessed that she didn’t really like me. It’s just that she usually pretends to be in love with me and is obedient in front of me. After a long time, I felt that I might be worrying too much. But now, I can confirm that she doesn’t love me as a person but my supplies and this tent that can shelter us from the wind and rain.”
Xia Ju looked puzzled. “Now that you know that she doesn’t really love you, aren’t you sad at all? Why are you so happy?”
Shen Teng’s posture was relaxed. “Yes, I’m very happy. Because I don’t really like her. If she really loved me, then I’d feel like I owed her. This is just right.”
Xia Ju nodded thoughtfully. “I see. I thought you had gone mad for her!”
Du Yue was a little curious. “Actually, when we came here for dinner, we noticed the strange atmosphere between the two of you. However, since you didn’t mention it, we didn’t take the initiative to ask. Since you’ve taken the initiative to ask, I want to know why you were with her if you didn’t like her as a person.”
