Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 31 - Foreign Friends

Su Xue gently persuaded, “No worries, you can come with us to the quarantine zone for a simple test to prove your recovery, and naturally, you can then leave.”

The man in the hoodie shook his head vigorously, “Who knows if you can leave once you get there!”

“You have to trust us, we absolutely have no reason to trouble you…”

“How can I trust you! You have been chasing me down for four streets!”

“… Please calm down, okay? We are considering your safety too, the quarantine zone has suitable conditions…”

“The quarantine zone is full of sick people! What if they turn into monsters and eat me?!”

No matter what Su Xue said, the man in the hoodie firmly maintained his stance. Su Xue was several times so infuriated that she turned pale but forcibly endured it. Han Jiaojiao watched with great delight; having known Su Xue for so many years, she understood her too well. With so many classmates present, she would maintain her elegance at all costs and definitely would not lose her temper easily.

Eventually, Su Xue sighed deeply, her gaze turning toward Han Jiaojiao in the car.

“Jiaojiao, please open the door. We must take this gentleman away. The city is now very dangerous, and you should go home early as well,” she said with a tone of concern.

As soon as she finished speaking, Han Jiaojiao immediately felt a burning gaze from behind her.

“Are you friends?” the man in the hoodie asked her in a frustrated tone.

Han Jiaojiao just smiled slightly and did not respond to him.

The man in the hoodie, feeling very disheartened, sighed and reached out to pull the car door, “Well, I might as well go with them then…”

Just as his hand touched the car door, he was coldly glared at by Han Yi. The man in the hoodie was startled and immediately withdrew his hand.

Su Xue’s expression grew even uglier. She thought she had made herself very clear, why wouldn’t Han Jiaojiao cooperate with her work at all.

“… Jiaojiao, please cooperate with our work, by doing this you are indirectly endangering the lives of other citizens.”

Han Jiaojiao appeared confused and softly said, “But I am cooperating with you, the check can be done inside the car too.”

People outside were baffled.

Han Jiaojiao pulled out a simple medical kit from under the seat, and tossed an electronic blood pressure monitor to the man in the hoodie in the back seat.

“The blood pressure and heartbeat of an infected person would be much higher than that of a normal person. Why not check it now, so we don’t wrong this gentleman and save you some time too? You guys are so busy, must have caught quite a number of people, right?”

Su Xue pursed her lips, “It’s not capturing… we are volunteers…”

Han Jiaojiao immediately nodded, “Yes, I know, you’re doing it for the safety of the citizens, which is quite remarkable.”

The people behind Su Xue looked somewhat embarrassed. In fact, several of them had joined the volunteer work because they couldn’t resist Su Xue’s persuasion. They weren’t lacking in enthusiasm, but the enthusiasm of these young students was always a bit blind and barbaric.

“It’s getting very late now, you should be careful,” Han Jiaojiao, with her innocently naive demeanor as if truly concerned, said, “After all, you come into contact with various infected people every day. Even if you don’t wear protective suits, you should at least wear a mask or something. It’s very dangerous the way you are now.”

Upon hearing this, their expressions stiffened. A few people couldn’t help but cast resentful glances at Su Xue.

Su Xue looked troubled, “Protective suits are in short supply right now, of course, they are primarily allocated to the medical personnel in disaster and quarantine zones. We just need to be more careful, and try to avoid physical contact; there shouldn’t be any problems.”

To their surprise, the hooded man in the car complained unhappily, “Whoever grabbed me just now scratched me several times…”

The faces of everyone turned solemn, but then he muttered, “Luckily there was no blood, but it really hurt…”

Han Jiaojiao tried to hold back her laughter.

In just a moment, the digital blood pressure monitor had finished checking, and the hooded man handed it over to Han Jiaojiao. Han Jiaojiao was about to take it when Han Yi stretched out his long arm, took it directly, and without looking threw it towards Su Xue outside the car window.

Su Xue caught it somewhat frantically.

Han Jiaojiao asked her worriedly, “Su Xue, is his blood pressure normal? An infected person’s blood pressure should be between 180 and 260, whereas a normal person’s is between 90 and 140. You’re a volunteer, you should know this, right?”

No one outside the car made a sound for a long time. The result was self-evident.

Han Jiaojiao burst into a crisp laughter inside the car, “Brother, that’s great, I really thought I was going to get infected just now.”

Han Yi’s cold eyes lost their sharpness as he indifferently said, “Ill luck.” It was unclear whether he was referring to what Han Jiaojiao had said or the people they had encountered outside.

— The luxurious car sped away, no longer paying any attention to those inconsequential people.

The people behind the car remained silent. Han Jiaojiao and Han Yi paid them no mind. The car kept driving straight until it passed a chain hotel, where Han Yi finally stopped.

They didn’t plan to bring a stranger whose background was unclear back to their villa, even if this person might have superpowers. Han Yi was naturally indifferent, and Han Jiaojiao was distrustful of others due to her experiences in a previous life. They had few people now, though it was tough, but at least they were trustworthy partners.

To their surprise, after parking, Han Jiaojiao looked back and caught the sight of the hooded man sneakily eating a custard bun…

That was from their dinner, which they had packed and brought back in the car because it was too much; after filling the trunk, they had placed some in the back seat as well.

Han Jiaojiao was dumbfounded. The hooded man, unprepared for their sudden stop, was also embarrassed. He took off his hood and revealed his true face, smiling apologetically. “I’m so sorry, I was just too ravenous…”

As he spoke about his hunger, his tongue stumbled, and he spoke with a mispronunciation.

Han Jiaojiao’s eyes widened even more.

Because he was— a foreigner!

In this day and age, a foreigner speaking Chinese so fluently? And with a hint of a Northeastern accent too?

The young man in front of her had blond hair and blue eyes, with fair and fine skin. Overlooking the unsightly crumbs around his mouth, he looked just like those effeminate characters from British dramas.

He blinked those beautiful blue eyes and said, “Hello, I am Kerry.”
