Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 113: Fingers Caught in the Car Door

A few hours later, Bai Xiqin and the others leisurely arrived at the mine.

Bai Xiqin glanced around and didn’t spot Bai Yifan.

All she saw was Captain Zhou and Li Xue daydreaming, along with six girls from the Iron Maiden Squad keeping guard.

It’s getting close to evening, better to be cautious.

Bai Xiqin was just about to ask where Bai Yifan went to play when she heard Bai Yifan’s voice coming from the bottom of the mine.

"I found the door and even opened it! Our task is complete!"

Bai Yifan’s voice was somewhat excited.

Then, Bai Xiqin saw a pitch-black figure crawl out from the hole.

"Sis, you’re back! I found the mine!"

Bai Yifan grinned at Bai Xiqin, his white teeth gleaming.

Apart from his white teeth and the whites of his eyes, he was covered in coal dust.

Bai Xiqin’s mouth twitched hard, "You’re amazing!"

"Of course!"

Bai Yifan proudly lifted his head; if he had a tail, it would definitely be wagging.

"Captain Zhou, have we completed the task now?"

Bai Black-Coal Yifan ran to Captain Zhou, asking excitedly.

"Oh my gosh!"

Captain Zhou was startled and quickly took a step back.

He thought it was a burnt zombie coming back to life!

"Captain, we completed the task, right!" Bai Yifan blinked and grinned, showing his big white teeth.

"You found the mine?"

Captain Zhou asked absentmindedly while glancing at Li Xue, talking distractedly to Bai Yifan.

He thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out why Li Xue was unhappy!

He re-examined himself inside and out and couldn’t find anything wrong. All the memories of the two in Captain Zhou’s mind were filled with pink bubbles.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out how he upset Li Xue.

It’s definitely not Xiao Xuexue’s fault, it must be his own fault.

For this, Captain Zhou felt guilty again.

He’s really not up to the task!

He doesn’t even know why his girlfriend is angry.

Yes, in Captain Zhou’s eyes, Li Xue is already his girlfriend.

If it were before the apocalypse, he would definitely have stubbornly dragged Li Xue to register for marriage.

Even if it meant carrying her to the civil affairs office!

"Captain Zhou! Captain Zhou! Have we completed the task?"

Bai Yifan waved his coal-dusted hand in front of Captain Zhou, his eyes sparkling.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Captain Zhou nodded absentmindedly, immersed in his thoughts again.

"Yay! Task completed!"

Bai Yifan jumped up and down happily, more joyful than scoring fifty in English.

Besides the excited Bai Yifan, everyone else calmly glanced at the mine.

Bai Xiqin even yawned.

Task complete, time to call it a day.

Captain Zhou marked the location of the mine and then found something to cover it up.

The group walked a while before arriving at the minivan.

Bai Yifan was covered in black coal dust, all dirty.

Captain Zhou found several large garbage bags originally prepared for any motion sickness from the girls during the ride.

Bai Yifan put a garbage bag over himself, covering his face with his hands, and shyly sat on the lap of another girl from the Iron Maiden Squad.

Bai Xiqin also sat on Li Xue’s lap.

Leng Yebai and Captain Zhou simultaneously turned back, warily glancing at Bai Xiqin and Li Xue.

In this day and age, rivals in love must be guarded against strictly.

Gender is irrelevant!

Bai Xiqin and Li Xue didn’t notice anything unusual about Captain Zhou and Leng Yebai, quietly chatting and occasionally letting out soft laughs.

Captain Zhou frequently looked back with a frown.

When did Xiao Xuexue and Bai Xiqin become so close!

Just now, she was still unhappy, but now they’re chatting and laughing.

Oh, women, fickle!

Captain Zhou swore his lifelong faith was in serving the Nuwa True God, and he never disparages women.

But Xiao Xuexue made him lose his composure.

He clearly could control his emotions.

Captain Zhou adjusted the glasses on his nose and glanced at Leng Yebai in the driver’s seat.

"Why do I feel like my eyes hurt? I think I was pecked in the eye by Yongji; why don’t you drive for a while?"

Captain Zhou rubbed his eyes and turned to Leng Yebai, giving him a deliberate wink beneath his gold-framed glasses.

"My hand suddenly hurts, I can’t drive."

Leng Yebai replied with a calm expression.

"Why does your hand hurt?"

Bai Xiqin caught Leng Yebai’s words and tilted her head to look at his hand.

His slender fingers were long and thin, even whiter than those illustrated in manga.

No swelling, no wounds.

Didn’t look injured at all.

"When I got out of the car today, Bai Yifan shut the door too fast and pinched my hand."

Leng Yebai’s voice was calm, as if recounting an event.

His unrivaled, beautiful, and stern exterior lent credence to his story.

A boy this good-looking couldn’t possibly lie!

"Xiao Fan, how many times have I told you not to be rough, and here you go forgetting again!" Bai Xiqin glared at Bai Yifan.

How can such long, beautiful fingers work if they’re damaged by the car door?

Bai Yifan: ???

What the heck!

"Sis, I didn’t, he’s making it up!"

Bai Yifan rolled his eyes at Leng Yebai.

No way he’s taking the blame for this!

This kind of massive blame, unless there’s two cans of milk powder involved, he won’t accept it!

"Have you forgotten about this morning? While making tea in the living room, you pinched my finger getting off the car," Leng Yebai remained composed.

He seemed to remind Bai Yifan of a misdeed.

Bai Yifan’s coal-streaked face looked slightly uncomfortable.

This morning, there truly was a small but significant event. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Dad wanted tea, and since he was too lazy to bother with it, Bai Yifan made the tea for him.

His hands slipped, and he broke the Zisha teapot cherished by Mr. Bai for twenty years.

Afraid of being hit.

Bai Yifan glued the teapot back together and put it by Bai Xiqin’s side.

As expected, Bai Xiqin accidentally knocked it over, the teapot shattering on the ground.

Then, to comfort the startled Bai Xiqin, Mr. Bai specially steamed an egg custard for her.

To compensate for the "injury" his broken teapot caused his sister.

Ultimately, Bai Yifan escaped a beating.

Never expected, Leng Yebai saw the whole thing.

What else can he do!

Faced with a choice between being used by his brother-in-law or being beaten by his dad, he decided to keep quiet.

"Ah, I remember now, I did accidentally pinch your finger with the car door." Bai Yifan earnestly said, "My bad!"

Bai Yifan spoke sincerely, with a good attitude in admitting fault.

"Hmm, you’re forgiven." Leng Yebai nodded.

"Oh, oh, oh, my eye hurts so much! I can’t drive; what do we do?"

Captain Zhou exaggeratedly rubbed his eye, driving with one hand.

"Xiao Fan, you drive," Bai Xiqin suggested to Bai Yifan.

"Uh..." Bai Yifan trailed off, catching Leng Yebai’s icy stare, quickly changing his tune, "Doesn’t seem right! If I drive, where will Captain Zhou sit!"
