Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 66

Chapter 66: I Will Try to Accept Them

Zhang Can’er frowned after hearing this. She didn’t know that District Two was in this situation.

“So, your fields were snatched away by those with connections. After that, because you couldn’t find a job, you didn’t have any Starshine Coins to eat. Then how did you find this place? I remember that there are strict controls between each district. Without permission, it’s impossible to escape.”

Ke Yajun’s eyes darted away after hearing Zhang Can’er’s words. She was hesitating whether to say it or not. She kept looking at Zhuang Jiayuan, wanting to see what she thought.

Zhuang Jiayuan hesitated for a moment, then, as if she had thrown all caution to the wind, she took a deep breath and said, “We… not long after we entered District Two, we found that we had skills. My skill is to create illusions, and Yajun’s skill is to create black technology. We were able to escape by using my illusion and the heat source tracker that Yajun made. I just didn’t expect that the heat source tracker would actually fail just now.”

Zhang Can’er squinted her eyes and looked at her. “We’re not in your illusion right now, are we?”

Zhuang Jiayuan blinked her eyes and shook her head. “I can feel that you two have skills of a higher level than ours, so I didn’t use it. Oh, this is my passive skill. My illusion can only be used on people below my level or those without skills.”

Zhang Can’er’s brow furrowed even more. She asked with some disbelief, “You mean Sister Feng also has a skill?”

Zhuang Jiayuan nodded. “Yes.”

Wan Feng’s heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at Zhang Can’er.

But Zhang Can’er showed a smiling face, turned, and threw herself into Wan Feng’s arms, saying happily, “Sister Feng, you have a skill too! It must be a very powerful skill. Let’s go back and see later, okay?”

Wan Feng had no expression, neither surprised nor amazed. It was as if having a skill was not a big deal to her.

“Sister Feng, why aren’t you happy?”

“I am.”

“Tsk, I know you. Forget it, we’ll talk about it when we get back.”

She turned to look at the two who were lowering their heads. She smoothed her brow and smiled. “You two can sleep in the small warehouse for tonight. I’ll send some things over later. I’ll explain the situation to Sister Tu tomorrow.”

The two of them looked up, a little worried. Ke Yajun subconsciously fiddled with her sleeve and asked in a low voice, “Your Excellency, can you not send us back to District Two? And can you help us hide the matter of our skills?”

With that, she was about to pull Zhuang Jiayuan to kneel down.

Zhang Can’er quickly helped them up. “Don’t always kneel to me. I can’t bear it. Don’t worry, since I’ve saved you, I won’t just leave you be. Sleep well tonight.”

“Okay, thank you, Your Excellency.”

“Don’t call me Your Excellency. My name is Zhang Can’er. Just call me Xiao Can. The one next to me is my girlfriend, Wan Feng. Just call her Sister Feng.”

“Okay, Your Excellency Xiao Can, Your Excellency Sister Feng.”

Zhang Can’er was very helpless. She waved her hand and led them to the small warehouse.

There was already a small bed in the small warehouse, which was for people to use during their lunch break, so it was a bit simple.

Zhang Can’er brought some mats and a new mat over, and also brought a fan.

After a simple arrangement, she took Wan Feng and went back.

After being busy for so long, both of them were a bit tired. After taking a bath, Zhang Can’er, who was lying on the bed, squinted her eyes in comfort, feeling sleepy.

But she suddenly remembered something, opened her eyes, and asked with a grin, “Sister Feng, what is your skill?”

“Making cold weapons and controlling the power of nature.”

“Hmm? You…”

Wan Feng sighed and planted a kiss on Zhang Can’er’s forehead. “Can’er, I actually had a skill a long time ago. I had it when I was on that mountain in Phantom Star Village. It should be the same day as you. I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It was mainly because I was afraid that Starshine City would force me to do something.”

Zhang Can’er looked up at Wan Feng’s somewhat cold eyes and frowned. “We’ll talk about the skill later. Why didn’t you tell me that Starshine City would force ability users? If I had known earlier, Xiao Feng and the others wouldn’t have been forced to go to the military camp.”

Wan Feng was stunned for a moment and fell silent.

Zhang Can’er sat up and looked down at Wan Feng. “Did you never treat them as younger brothers and sisters? Or rather, apart from me, you never treated anyone else as a companion… Wan Feng, am I right?”

Wan Feng’s brow furrowed tightly. She raised her hand, wanting to touch Zhang Can’er’s face, but she was dodged by Zhang Can’er.

Her hand subconsciously clenched into a fist. In the end, she lost the courage to touch her again.

Zhang Can’er just stared at her, watching her eyes turn red and tears fall. Her eyes, when she looked at her, were filled with apology and grievance.

In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to be angry. She leaned over and held her in her arms.

“I know I shouldn’t force you, but Xiao Feng and the others are like my family. I hope you can accept them. I don’t ask you to like them very much, but when something happens, can you help them? For my sake.”

“Okay.”

Wan Feng held her even tighter. She had been cold since she was a child and was used to being willful. To have fallen for Zhang Can’er was something she had never thought of. She could feel that she cared about Zhang Can’er very much.

No matter what Zhang Can’er was doing or saying, she wanted to find out. She had never cared so much about a person before, so she had always been very careful, afraid that any move would scare Zhang Can’er away.

Before she realized that she liked Zhang Can’er, she had indeed never treated Xiao Feng and the others as companions. So, she hadn’t said much about the matter of Starshine City.

But after she realized it, she would also love them for her sake. After all, her heart was not made of iron. It was not that hard. But to say how much she liked them, not necessarily. The last time at the punishment ground, they hadn’t said a few words to each other. She could still feel a faint hostility from them. So, she didn’t have a good attitude either.

“Can’er, don’t leave me, okay? I… I will try to accept them. Can’er…”

Wan Feng held her very tightly, afraid that Zhang Can’er would leave her because of this. She couldn’t stand this kind of separation.

“Let go first. If you keep hugging me, I’ll be suffocated to death by you!” Zhang Can’er patted her shoulder and said angrily.

Only then did Wan Feng realize. She quickly let go of her hand and helped her up. “I’m sorry. Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”

Zhang Can’er pouted, rolled her eyes at her, and moved her body. “If you keep hugging me, you can wait to collect my corpse.”

“I didn’t mean to. I… I…” Wan Feng was so anxious that she didn’t know how to explain. Her hands were waving around unconsciously.

The tears in her eyes also fell from anxiety. Her eyes were red, and she spoke with a stutter, but many of the words were disconnected, without any logic.

Zhang Can’er held her in her arms, gently stroking her back, and said softly, “Don’t be anxious. We’ll talk slowly.”

Wan Feng was comforted a lot by her words and gradually calmed down.

Zhang Can’er chuckled. “I didn’t expect Sister Feng to have this side to her.”
