Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1219: Pain, so much pain!

Chapter 1219: Pain, so much pain!

Zhang Yi didn't approach them, instead stopping at a distance.

After bowing his head in thought for a long while, he let out a soft sigh.

"Ah~"

However, for some matters, a short, sharp pain is better than prolonged suffering. Given the current state between Fatty Xu and Li Yangyang, it was time to lay things out clearly.

It all depended on what choice Fatty Xu made.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

He coughed loudly twice, immediately drawing the attention of the two lovebirds.

Li Yangyang's face flushed slightly. "Lord Chaos!"

Fatty Xu chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head in embarrassment. "Boss, you're back!"

Zhang Yi called out to Fatty Xu. "Fatty Xu, come here! I have something to say to you."

Fatty Xu gave Li Yangyang a reassuring look, then ran over to Zhang Yi with a resolute expression.

"Bo... Boss."

He took a deep breath, as if steeling himself with a certain determination.

"I want to be with Yangyang, I've fallen for her!"

Zhang Yi stared at Fatty Xu, taking a deep breath himself.

"Have you thought it through? You want to stay in Shengjing, is that it?"

Fatty Xu shook his head. "Boss, I would never leave you! Could you... could you help me ask the Shengjing higher-ups for her?"

An expression of slight awkwardness appeared on his face.

Li Yangyang was a member of the Dragon's Roar Guards, with considerable strength.

Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for Zhang Yi to request her, as it wasn't easy for them to train a powerful Dragon's Roar Guard.

But right now, the Shengjing Region owed Zhang Yi a debt. Using this opportunity to make a request shouldn't be hard for them to agree to.

Fatty Xu was quite clever, though Zhang Yi wasn't sure if this was something Li Yangyang had taught him.

Zhang Yi nodded. "Mhm, okay. As long as you've decided, I'll go ask for her."

He replied without the slightest hesitation, which left Fatty Xu, who had been expecting a scolding, momentarily stunned.

"Huh?"

Zhang Yi said calmly, "As long as you've considered it clearly and want to be with her, I have no objections. And I'll do my best to help you achieve your own happiness."

As Zhang Yi said this, he was doing his utmost to control the corners of his mouth to keep from smiling.

Fatty Xu jumped up in excitement.

"Boss, sob sob, Boss! You're really too good to me!"

"Righteous Father, please accept this child's bow!"

Zhang Yi helped up the Fatty Xu who was about to kneel and kiss his boots. "Don't be in such a hurry. I have a few words I need to discuss with her. Call her over!"

Fatty Xu was overjoyed. Hearing this, he said with a happy grin, "That's only right. After all, she'll have to call you 'brother' along with me from now on!"

Fatty Xu hurried over to call Li Yangyang over.

Li Yangyang looked at Zhang Yi, her eyes still holding a trace of nervousness.

Zhang Yi waved his hand at Fatty Xu. "You go over there for a bit. I'll chat with her for a moment."

Fatty Xu reluctantly walked some distance away, but his eyes remained fixed on them the entire time.

He was afraid that while Zhang Yi might have agreed to them being together on the surface, he might secretly threaten Li Yangyang and ruin their happiness.

Zhang Yi and Li Yangyang stood facing each other, exchanging only a few simple sentences.

Li Yangyang would sometimes lower her head, sometimes raise it. Soon, her gaze became as firm as a pilgrim's.

"I believe in him!"

Li Yangyang said to Zhang Yi. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Zhang Yi smiled dismissively. "That's for the best. I also hope you both can find happiness in each other. So I'll leave this matter for the two of you to decide."

Li Yangyang nodded seriously. There was a light in her eyes, a longing for love.

She turned and walked towards Fatty Xu, who wasn't far away.

Fatty Xu excitedly reached out and grasped Li Yangyang's hands.

"Yangyang, the boss agreed to us being together. Are you happy?"

Li Yangyang smiled slightly and nodded.

"Chunlei, before that, there's one thing I must tell you."

Fatty Xu was slightly taken aback. "What is it?"

Li Yangyang stared at Fatty Xu's chubby face.

He really was very cute.

A round, chubby face, an adorable smile, and the habit of always loving to wear white socks.

"You said that no matter what kind of person I am, no matter what kind of past I've had, you would still like me, right?"

Li Yangyang smiled, her eyes fixed intently on Fatty Xu's face.

Fatty Xu looked puzzled. "Yes. Yangyang, don't worry. I like you for who you are. I won't mind things from the past."

A look of understanding appeared on his face, as if he had seen through everything.

What could the worst possible outcome be?

Li Yangyang was so beautiful and understood him so well. In fact, Fatty Xu had already guessed some things about her.

"It's not you who is wrong, but this world. I believe you were forced by circumstances to do those things."

In Fatty Xu's mind, he had already envisioned Li Yangyang's gambling father, sick mother, young brother, and her own broken self.

The light in Li Yangyang's eyes began to shine.

"Thank you, Chunlei. Thank you for understanding me!"

She gently took Fatty Xu's hand, a gratified smile on her face.

"I was originally worried about how to explain it to you. But I never imagined you would be so understanding."

The smile on Fatty Xu's face grew even wider. He gazed affectionately at the pitiful yet adorable girl before him.

Deep inside, a sense of pride, of having rescued a princess in distress, welled up.

It was just like depicted in those cheesy romance novels. He had become a hero who disregarded worldly opinions, a true warrior charging forward for love.

"Yangyang, love can transcend everything."

Li Yangyang nodded. "Thank you, really, thank you so much."

She pulled Fatty Xu's hand, bringing it closer to her body.

"I just knew you wouldn't mind."

Fatty Xu was about to say something, but suddenly, the hand Li Yangyang had pulled over bumped into something.

Fatty Xu was somewhat surprised. The sensation was very familiar; after all, in this area, he was already an expert.

He looked down. Li Yangyang was pulling his hand towards the area between her legs.

No, to be precise, between "his" legs.

Li Yangyang's face flushed. "It's so good to have met you."

Fatty Xu's expression froze for an instant.

The smile on his face, the love he thought could embrace all things, visibly froze over and vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His ruddy complexion turned deathly pale.

The next moment, Zhang Yi, from a distance, heard a wail akin to a slaughtered pig erupt.

He covered his ears with both hands, silently turned around, and could barely suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

But at a time like this, when the two of them were being all lovey-dovey, he felt that bursting into loud laughter might be impolite, so he was doing his utmost to hold it in.

"Pfft hahaha... Fatty, didn't you ever notice his Adam's apple? Hahaha!"

Zhang Yi almost laughed so hard he rolled on the ground.

Li Yangyang was not a girl, but a man.

This information could be found out with just a little asking around.

It was from that point on that Zhang Yi understood why Li Yangyang had taken a liking to Fatty Xu.

In their circle, Fatty Xu had instead become a rather popular figure.
