Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

”Do I look like I’m joking?” Xiaoyun looked Mingxu in the eyes with full seriousness on his face.

”That’s...” Mingxu fell into silent as he didn’t know how to react or say anything at all.

”Mrs.Leyan, I thought you loved your husband? Didn’t you stayed single ever since he died? And to marry your own son out of all people...” Ningjing was more disturbed by the age gap between Leyan and Xiaoyun.

”He’s not just my son. I mean he is my son, but he’s also my former husband.” Leyan sat down on the sofa next to Ningjing.

”How? Yueyue told me that your husband died in a car accident. How’s that possible? Xiaoyun same age as Yueyue no?” Ningjing looked over to Mingxu.

”Yeah, we celebrated Xiaoyun’s birthday few months before the zombie apocalypse. That would literally be impossible.” Mingxu replied back.

”That’s why I said it’s a long story...” Leyan looked over to Xiaoyun for him to respond.

”You guys know time machine right? Like those time machine in doraemon.” Xiaoyun brought it up.

”Yeah, what about it?” Mingxu and Ningjing still didn’t get the clue.

”Let just say, if I time traveled back in time and met Leyan with no memory, and then fell in love with her. Then came back to the present, what do you think happened?” Xiaoyun didn’t want to explain it in detail.

”Huh?” Both of them still couldn’t wrap their head around it.

”Ningjing you know my husband is named Songming right?” Leyan looked over to Ningjing.

”Yeah, he’s the one that started the Songjia cooperation.” Ningjing nodded.

”Well, Xiaoyun and Songming is the same person. Except he lost his memory when he time traveled...”

Leyan explains the whole thing with a abbreviated version, including Yuqi and Yueyue’s falling in love with Xiaoyun.

This time, the two finally understood what the two were saying.

”So, Xiaoyun time traveled back and fell in love with the younger Mrs.Leyan. Then Mrs.Leyan gave birth to the four children, with one of them being Xiaoyun who’s the same person as him.

And then after the car accident, he time traveled back to the present? Then his two sister who also his daughter fell in love with him?” Mingxu explained his train of thoughts.

”Finally you got it.” Xiaoyun let out a sigh of relief.

”Well I guess that make sense for you two to fall in love again... Although I don’t get why Yuqi or Yueyue would love Xiaoyun... Not to mention sharing the same husband with their mother.”

Ningjing paused for a second.

”Still, I’m not going to judge, congrats to you guys for finally seeing each other for such a long time.” Ningjing shows her support for the two.

”Thank you for your understanding.” Xiaoyun and Leyan both bowed down in gratitude.

”Wait Xiaoyun, you said these three babies are Mrs.Leyan, Yuqi, Yueyue, but have you guys thought about the how they might——” Before Mingxu could finish asking, the door suddenly opened.

”I’m back!” Yueyue announced as she walked inside the house.

”Auntie Leyan, what’s for dinner?” Lily ran into Leyan’s arm.

”It’s your favorite dish pork belly.” Leyan gently patted Lily’s head.

”Ningjing! When did you got here?” Yueyue excitedly ran over to Ningjing.

”We just got here today.” Ningjing replied.

As the two hugged each other, Mingxu chose to stay silent instead of bring it up again.

”Well let’s all go eat now.’ Xiaoyun changed the topic to ease the atmosphere.

----

Just as the six sat down on the dining table and started eating, Ningjing and Yueyue were chatting nonstop from the start of the zombies apocalypse to the present.

The table was getting more and more lively as Leyan joined in the conversation as well.

Meanwhile the two men and Lily were just focusing on eating, especially Mingxu who ate almost the entire plate clean.

Just as everyone was about to finish eating, the door opened.

”We’re back!” Wuli’s voice could be heard as it traveled to the kitchen.

”Oh snap the dishing is all finished. I’ll go cook mo——” Before Leyan could get up, Xiaoyun pulled her back down.

”I’ll go cook dinner for them, can you bring them to the living room?” Xiaoyun asked.

”Okay...” Leyan accepted.

----

As the five of them walked back out to the living room, the two group sees each other.

”Oh hey Jingjing, long time no see.” Yuqi waved at Ningjing.

”Yeah it’s been a long time sister Yuqi.” Ningjing waved back at Yuqi.

”Sister Ningjing!” Nami ran toward Ningjing for a hug.

”Isn’t that my favorite little jelly bean.” Ningjing hugged Nami, then lifted Nami into the air.

”Where have you been?” Nami curiously asked as Ningjing put her back down.

”Out in the hellscape. Anyway Nami, you feel much heavier than in the past. Have you been growing?” Ningjing shifted the topic.

”Do I look like I’m growing?” Nami humphed as she crossed her arms.

”Then how else would you gain weight?” Ningjing innocently asked back without thinking too much.

Nami’s face immediately turned red as she didn’t know how to response back to that question.

”Come on Nami, it’s not embarrassing to get a little chubby. Just do some exercise like me and Yueyue.” Ningjing bowed down a little to squeeze Nami’s belly fat.

”Is dinner ready?” Wuli and Shuli both asked Leyan.

”Xiaoyun is cooking it right now. We just ate already.” Leyan replied back.

Both of them laid down flat on the sofa as their stomach rumbled.

”I’m so hungry.” Wuli let out a sigh.

”Me too.” Shuli let out a sigh as well.

”Just be patient you two... Come on introduce yourself.” Leyan pushed the tow to sit up straight.

”Hello Wuli and Shuli. I’m Ningjing, and this is my husband Mingxu.” Ningjing introduced herself and Mingxu.

”Hello Ningjing, we are Leyan’s high school and college friend.” Wuli and Shuli both replied back with the same thing.

After the two introduced each other, everyone was sitting down on the sofa.

”Jingjing, can you share your experience of what happened outside? I’m just a little curious.” Nami asked as she shook Ningjing’s elbow.

Lily and Yuqi, and everyone else was just as curious as well.

”Okay okay. It’s a long story...” Ningjing started explain her experience, with occasional input by Mingxu.

Thirty minutes later...

”That’s insane! How dare they lure zombies to you guys like this!” Nami raised her voice in anger.

”Sound like a bunch of corrupt officials who only knows infighting.” Leyan shrugged.

”Exactly, that’s what we thought about them too. Just a bunch of do-nothing pigs!” Mingxu slammed the sofa with his fist out of frustration.

”Calm down Mingxu, it’s already passed.” Ningjing patted Mingxu on the back.

”You right. Sorry about that.” Mingxu apologized.

”It’s okay, we understand your frustration.” Yuqi added.

Just as Ningjing was about to continue the story, Xiaoyun came out of the kitchen.

”Dinner is ready.” Xiaoyun announced.

”Finally.” Wuli and Shuli both rushed pass Xiaoyun to the kitchen.

Ningjing whispered something to Mingxu and then turned around.

”Um... can we eat again? We just still a little hungry.” Mingxu’s face looked a little embarrassed as he said it out loud.

”Of course, you guys can go eat.” Xiaoyun replied back.

----

As Ningjing and Mingxu continue telling their story, everyone had finished dinner long ago, but nobody wanted to get up.

”And now we are here.” Ningjing finally finished the story.

”What a roll coaster.” Xiaoyun commented despite only hearing half of it.

”I’m just glad you two made it here safely.” Shuli commented next.

”So lucky that the phone call actually went through. That could of been such a tragic ending...” Wuli pointed out.

”Yeah, all thanks to Xiaoyun.” Mingxu patted Xiaoyun on the back.

”Any time.” Xiaoyun replied back.

”Oh my, it’s already nine o’clock. Let me go clean the dishes. Xiaoyun can you bring them to the guest room?” Leyan got up and started loading the dishes into the dishwasher.

”Sure honey.” Xiaoyun got up and brought the two to the guest room downstairs.

”Here it is. It’s a little bit on the small side.” Xiaoyun commented as he opened the door to the guest room.

”Wow... This is not small at all. This bed is queen size?” The two of them replied back as they walked inside the room.

”King size bed to be exact. Anyway the restroom is across from here and if you have any problem, you guys can just call me.” Xiaoyun mentioned.

”Hey Xiaoyun, we just want to say thank you so much for all of this... I can’t never repay you back for what you done.” Mingxu and Ningjing both bowed down fully in gratitude.

”No need for this. We’re friends after all.” Xiaoyun supported the two back up.

”If you ever need me, I’ll be there.” Mingxu promised.

Xiaoyun didn’t comment on it, but just said good night and left the room.

As Xiaoyun walked back to the kitchen, everyone was gone except Leyan still putting the dishes away.

”Where did they all go?” Xiaoyun curiously asked as he helped Leyan clean up the dining table.

”In the living room.” Leyan replied as all the dishes was loaded into the dishwasher and the table was all clean.

The two walked back to the living room only to see a debate between Yuqi and Yueyue.

”They can’t stay here longer than a week.” Yuqi stated.

”Come on, they just got out of that situation. Can they not stay here at least few more week?” Yueyue pushed back against that idea.

”You don’t understand. As much as I sympathize with them, Mingxu is a man, everyone here is a women.” Yuqi pointed out.

”What’s wrong with that? He’s just Xiaoyun’s friend. You are way too paranoid Yuqi. I know how they are like, Mingxu and Ningjing have been together since childhood.” Yueyue dismissed Yuqi’s argument completely.

”Yueyue, you know it’s going to be awkward and inconvenient for us. Think about you trying to breastfeed your baby.” Yuqi raised her voice as she argued back.
