Because of his anger, Wang Zheng used a lot of strength. Chen Lu could hear the creaking of her bones from Wang Zheng's grip.
Chen Lu frowned in pain. As she struggled to break free from Wang Zheng's grip, she begged pitifully, "Wang Zheng, you're hurting me."
Wang Zheng ignored Chen Lu's complaints. He pulled Chen Lu to a corner and said earnestly, "Chen Lu, do you know what you're doing?"
Wang Zheng looked at Chen Lu, who had always been smart, but now she was acting stupid. He almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth. "Do you know that if it weren't for Jiujiu, we would all be dead?"
Wang Zheng suddenly said the word "dead," which made Chen Lu dizzy. It took her a long time to come back to her senses.
Chen Lu's lips moved. "There are five of us, and she's alone …"
Shouldn't it be that without them, Jiujiu would have died?
"Ha …"
Wang Zheng now knew why Chen Lu was so stupid.
She thought that strength was proportional to the number of people. There were five of them, and Jiujiu was alone. Therefore, they had the advantage in front of Jiujiu.
But had she ever thought about it?
In a war, the most important thing was not the soldiers who charged at the front, but the general who stood at the back and gave orders.
And Jiujiu was such an existence.
Wang Zheng looked at Chen Lu and asked, "Do you think that because there are five of us and she's alone, she has to listen to us?"
Chen Lu nodded. "Shouldn't that be the case?"
There were five of them, and she was alone. Shouldn't she listen to them?
"Ha ha …"
A smile appeared on his face.
Wang Zheng's sudden chuckle scared Chen Lu.
Chen Lu tugged at Wang Zheng's arm and whispered, "Wang Zheng, don't scare me."
Wang Zheng lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his eyes and said, "Chen Lu, the car is out of gas. Among the five of us, who dares to get out of the car to refuel?"
Wang Zheng's first question gave Chen Lu a fright.
Among the five of them, Wang Zheng's status was the highest. Naturally, he couldn't go.
As for Zheng Chen and Han Chen, their families were not low in status, so she was naturally unwilling to go. As for Ningxia, her family background was ordinary, but she was even more timid than her, so she definitely did not dare to go.
For a moment, Chen Lu couldn't find anyone who could get out of the car to refuel it.
Seeing that Chen Lu was silent, Wang Zheng mocked, "Do you still think that it's Jiujiu who's clinging onto us?"
Chen Lu was so shocked by this fact that she couldn't utter a single word.
Originally, they thought that the other party would have to rely on them to survive until they reached the safety base. But now, it was them who had to rely on the other party to survive. This change was earth-shattering.
Originally, he had put on airs because of his background, but in the face of reality, he was so weak that he couldn't even withstand a single blow.
Chen Lu's arrogance was shattered by reality.
Chen Lu lowered her head. "I will be obedient in the future."
If she had known that they had to rely on Jiujiu to survive, she definitely wouldn't have said that to her.
Seeing that Chen Lu knew that she was wrong, Wang Zheng, who had achieved his goal, heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at Chen Lu's listless expression, he thought of their long relationship and raised his hand to rub Chen Lu's head. "Aren't you hungry? I'll cook noodles for you. "
If it was in the past, Chen Lu would have been very happy to see Wang Zheng treat her so gently. But after recognizing reality, Chen Lu realized for the first time how stupid she was.
Chen Lu pursed her dry lips and said with a bitter smile, "Okay!"
Wang Zheng was his grandfather, so naturally, he had the advantage of playing with people's hearts. After hitting them with a stick, he naturally had to give them a sweet date.
As there was a lot of water and food in the house, Wang Zheng cooked a big pot of noodles. Everyone had a big bowl and ate until they were full.
When it was time to sleep, Wang Zheng very gentlemanly suggested that the bed be left for the girls and the three men sleep on the floor.
Jiujiu didn't object to this, and Zheng Chen and the others had long regarded Wang Zheng as their center, so they naturally followed suit.
They had a good night's sleep.
The next day, Wang Zheng took the initiative to make breakfast. After breakfast, everyone dealt with their personal matters. Jiujiu let them get in the car and opened the door for herself before continuing on their journey.
Because Wang Zheng had looked for Chen Lu last night, Chen Lu didn't target Jiujiu today. Instead, she agreed with Jiujiu when she spoke, which was a huge change.
Lunch was naturally a bag of bread and mineral water for each person.
When night fell, the six of them couldn't find a place to rest, so they could only make do with the night in the car.
Jiujiu adjusted the seat slightly and closed her eyes, preparing to sleep.
As the saying goes, a leopard can't change its spots.
Chen Lu had been holding it in for an entire day. She felt uncomfortable all over in this small corner, but Jiujiu could lie alone in the spacious driver's seat and comfortably sleep in the tilted seat.
Chen Lu finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
Chen Lu looked at Jiujiu, who was sleeping comfortably alone in the spacious seat, and said, "Jiujiu, can we take turns sleeping?"
Jiujiu opened her eyes and looked at Chen Lu.
Chen Lu seemed to have found the courage to explain to Jiujiu, "Everyone is tired after an entire day. The four of us are really uncomfortable here."
After hearing Chen Lu's explanation, Jiujiu said, "Oh," and then turned around to continue sleeping.
She was also very tired after driving for an entire day. Moreover, if they weren't burdens, she could just lie in the backseat and sleep happily.
She had endured so much for them, yet she still had the nerve to say this.
Chen Lu thought that if she said this, Jiujiu would definitely take turns sleeping with them.
Seeing that Jiujiu continued sleeping as she pleased, and seeing that Jiujiu didn't respond, the smile on Chen Lu's face instantly froze. She paused and continued to ask, "Can we?"
Seeing that Chen Lu didn't stop, Jiujiu laughed and sat up. She turned to stare at Chen Lu.
Chen Lu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Jiujiu. She raised her hand to wipe her cheeks and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm just curious about the structure of your face. How can you say something so shameless?" Jiujiu turned to Wang Zheng and said, "I remember I told you last night. Didn't you tell her?"
During the day, Chen Lu had been very obedient. Wang Zheng thought that Chen Lu had changed, but he didn't expect that she was just pretending. Now that she was in trouble, she reverted to her old ways.
Wang Zheng had a headache and said in a heavier tone, "Chen Lu, Jiujiu has been driving for an entire day. She's also very tired."
"But the four of us are squeezed together. It's also very tiring."
Chen Lu pouted and said mischievously, "Besides, I didn't say that she can't go back. I just want everyone to feel more comfortable. "
Zheng Chen didn't say anything along the way. At this moment, he finally couldn't help but say, "We don't feel uncomfortable. If you feel uncomfortable, you can go down and find a comfortable place to rest."
Zheng Chen and Wang Zheng grew up together. He wasn't stupid. Naturally, he could see that the core of this team was Jiujiu.
If Jiujiu was willing to take them, they would naturally be able to reach the safe base without any obstructions. If Jiujiu was unwilling, they would most likely die on the way.
