Chapter 570: Another Ceremony
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Du Yue was curious, but Shen Teng did not say anything, so she did not ask. Shen Teng did not notice Du Yue’s expression. After closing the door, he led them in the direction of the tent. “I called you here today to introduce someone to you.”
Actually, even if Shen Teng did not say it, Du Yue would have guessed it.
However, since Shen Teng had taken the initiative to speak, Du Yue still cooperated and asked, “Who is it?”
Shen Teng was a true iron man. In the past, he had always presented himself as a tough man. Now, with just one sentence, the tips of his ears were red. “It’s my… girlfriend.”
To be honest, Shen Teng’s answer surprised Du Yue. They had only known each other for a short time, and they were already in a relationship? However, thinking about it carefully, in the current environment, most people would become swift and decisive in doing things. They would also choose to be straightforward.
After all, natural disasters kept happening. Everyone knew that they might not be alive the next day. Under such circumstances, if they continued to be indecisive and hesitant, it would only add to their troubles and regrets.
After figuring this out, Du Yue smiled. “Then you really have to introduce us.”
Shen Teng’s courtyard was very small. As they spoke, they had already reached the entrance of the tent. The tent in Shen Teng’s yard was white. Usually, unless one was sleeping, the lights in the tents would be turned on. However, in order to prevent others from noticing his tent in the dark, Shen Teng covered the outside of the tent with a piece of black cloth to cover the light inside.
At this moment, they had all walked to the entrance of the tent, but they did not see any light. The only thing that could illuminate them was the light from the torchlight in their hands. Shen Teng reached out and lifted the black curtain. Only then did Du Yue and the other two see the light inside. “Let’s go in!” Shen Teng smiled and urged. “The temperature has been getting lower by the day after the sun stopped rising.”
Indeed, after the Eternal Night descended, the temperature gradually dropped every day. Occasionally, a cold wind would blow across the grasslands, hitting people’s faces and making them unable to open their eyes. It was painful.
The few of them walked into the tent together, and with the light, they could finally see again. The last time Du Yue came here was when Shen Teng had just moved in. This was the second time. Shen Teng’s tent was not big, but there were no facilities in it the last time they came, so it seemed a little empty. However, as time passed, there were more and more things inside. It looked much warmer than before, and it also looked like a proper home.
Of course, things and luggage were not the main reason why it looked warm. Most importantly, there was now a woman in the tent. It was a young woman. She stood there quietly. Her lips were slightly pursed, and she looked a little nervous, but there was a smile in the corner of her eyes. Her figure was a little thin, and the clothes she was wearing did not suit her. They were loose and should be Shen Teng’s clothes.
When Du Yue looked at her, she happened to look over as well. Shen Teng strode to the woman’s side, put his arm around her shoulder, and introduced her to Du Yue with a smile. “This is my girlfriend, Zhang Hui. Lil Hui, these are the three friends 1 mentioned to you before. The two of us are together now, and we don’t have any family members around us. After much consideration, 1 can only ask the three of them to be our witnesses. 1 hope you don’t mind the current conditions.”
Zhang Hui was visibly moved. “Brother Teng, you’re not mistreating me at all. I’ve never cared about material things. 1 just want to be with you and live a better life. That’s enough. It’s true.”
After Zhang Hui finished speaking, Shen Teng’s heart warmed. He reached out and held her hand. “No matter what you think, as a man, 1 have to follow the rules and rituals. My relatives from before the apocalypse are all gone. The three of them are my only friends. Let’s have a meal together and have some fun. It can be considered as a ceremony for you.”
Zhang Hui nodded obediently. “Brother Teng, 1 understand what you’re saying. Let’s do as you say.”
After saying that, she raised her head and smiled at Du Yue and the other two. “I often hear Brother Teng mention you guys. Hello, you can call me Lil Hui.”
Du Yue smiled and nodded at her. “Hello, I’m Du Yue.”
“My name is Xia Ju.”
“I’m Du Yue’s boyfriend, He Xing..”
