"Where will I be staying?" You Jun asked as they entered the city, his eyes twinkled in mirth as he imagined people reaction when they realised he was a zombie.
"With me." Ma Bai Yu immediately said.
"No!" Han Li immediately rejected, "Why not?" Both You Jun and Ma Bai Yu said at the same time.
"B-Because...Because you can't! You just can't!!" Han Li said, she couldn't think of a reason and panicked, she can't let him stay with brother Ma!
"What does You Jun staying with me got to do with you?" Ma Bai Yu said, while Han Li couldn't find a reason.
"I don't have anywhere else to go.." You Jun said sadly and Han Li gritted her teeth, her nails dug into her skin. 'They were bullying her!'
"Brother Ma.." She pleaded, she gazed at him with pitiful eyes, begging him not to let him stay.
"It's fine You Jun, you can stay with me." Ma Bai Yu said in a confirmed tone, daring You Jun to refute him. But of course, You Jun just shyly nodded, making Bai Yu send him a smile.

"Hot chocolate?" Bai Yu asked as he passed a cup to You Jun, hot chocolate was a rarity in a zombie apocalypse, not to mention water. But Bai Yu casually gave him a cup.
"T-Thanks.." You Jun muttered, timidly nodded his head, while Bai Yu placed his hand on his hand, ruffling his hair.
"So cute..."
"What?"
"Oh nothing." Bai Yu quickly covered up, but You Jun was just feigning ignorance.
"Sorry, I only have packet noodles, we have to go out on more expeditions to earn points."
"Points?" You Jun tilted his head.
"Yeah, that's where we get our food from." Bai Yu said as he stirred the pot of noodles.
"C-Can I follow you on the next expedition?" You Jun asks with large hopeful eyes.
"No..." Bai Yu muttered trying to look away from You Jun's eyes.
" Please! I'll do my best!!" You Jun stood up from where he was at the sofa quickly and bowed, causing the cup of hot chocolate which was half full to spill on his pants. "Ouch!" You Jun winced and Bai Yu immediately came towards You Jun with a wet cloth.
Bai Yu quickly helped You Jun clean off the hot chocolate and looked to the side embarrassingly as he passed the cloth to You Jun to clean the rest.
"A-Alright, thanks." While Bai Yu looked away, there was a smirk on You Jun's face.
'I wish I could record this down now.' You Jun sighed happily while Bao Zi gaped in the corner.

"Brother Ma, are we really bringing him along? He might drag us down!!!" Han Li said staring down at You Jun.
"Yeah! He might pull us back!"
"That's right!"
Something to note about female leads, with her words, she could influence a group to stick up with her. But the thing is, the female lead was up against the male lead, the world's favorite.
"I'll protect him." Bai Yu said in a determined tone.
"No! You'll get injured! Or bitten!!" Han Li immediately rejected, shaking her head.
"I-It's fine, I'll stay.." You Jun pulled at Bai Yu's sleeves, adding oil to the fire. Oh that was what he was good at.
"Don't listen to her words, didn't you want to come along?" Bai Yu sent him a reassuring smile.
"I do..But!" You Jun was interrupted by Bai Yu who covered his mouth, his gentle actions made the others gape. "The it's fine. You can come along."
"Brother Ma!" Han Li bitterly cried out, having nothing else to say.
"This has nothing to do with you!!" Bai Yu shouted at her, feeling irritated at her. Han Li wept, a couple of guys from the expedition crew went to comfort her. While Bai Yu wasn't looking, You Jun made sure to send her a smirk that only she saw. Causing her to glare at him in anger.
When it was time to hunt for zombies, You Jun didn't even hesitate as he killed one of his own, flicking his sword that Bai Yu handed him. He shyly walked to Bai Yu and passed him a bag of zombie nuclei.
"Big brother.."Hearing that soft voice, Bai Yu's heart felt it was tickled.
"T-This.." You Jun handed him the bag of nuclei and it was placed back into his hand. He feigned a hurt expression stuttering out. "Y-You don't want it?" He looked down in shame.
Bai Yu patted his head, "The rules here says you can keep it, no need to hand it to me."
"But... I want you to have it.." Looking at the pair of pleading eyes, Bai Yu gave in.
"Alright, only this once."
