Xiaoguo had no idea about any of this. In her previous life, she was considered a loner in school. In this life, she was cold and antisocial.

She was oblivious to the people and the things that were going on around her. In this life, she didn’t keep any friends by her side, there was nobody at all.

However, there were always exceptions.

Recently, a girl had been calling her and inviting her to join their archaeology major.

The first time she picked up the phone, she asked the other party how she got her number. She was told that she got it from a teacher at the student affairs office. Xiaoguo then hung up and blocked the girl’s number.

However, to her surprise, the other party was quite persistent. Basically, she called her five to six times a day. When she didn’t pick up, the other party would change her number and continue calling. When she finally picked up, she kept persuading her to join the archeology major.

However, to Xiaoguo’s relief, although the girl was quite persistent, she wasn’t completely insensitive. At least she didn’t look for her at her dormitory.

One day, there was a sudden knock on her dormitory door.

There were four people living in one dormitory. The other three residents had gone to class, so Xiaoguo was the only person in the room.

After putting down the laptop, Xiaoguo got out of bed and opened the door.

The girl outside the door was nervously catching her breath. She wasn’t expecting the door to open so quickly. She looked at Xiaoguo with a slightly open mouth and a dazed expression.

Xiaoguo stood rooted to the ground. She was too familiar with this face. It had been decades since she had seen this face that looked so young and plump with collagen.

“Hello, Qin Xiaoguo.”

The girl outside the door saw Xiaoguo looking at her and not saying anything. She couldn’t help but feel a little afraid. She heard that she wasn’t easy to get along with. It seemed that the rumors were true…

Xiaoguo retracted her thoughts. Hearing the other party call her name, she almost burst out laughing.

However, considering that they didn’t know each other yet, she could only pretend not to know her. She frowned and looked at her. “You are?”

“Hello, my name is Xu Ruyi.”

Xiaoguo’s eyes turned red when she heard her say those words. She had not changed her name. “Thats really nice…”

Xiaoguo turned away and entered the room first, afraid that the girl might notice something amiss.

Ruyi was shocked to see her walk away suddenly. However, when she thought of the purpose of her visit, she took a gulp and entered the room tentatively.

“I am from the archaeology department, the one who called you a few days ago…”

Towards the end of the sentence, she felt a little guilty. After all, it felt strange to admit that she was harassing her.

Xiaoguo did not turn around. Since she had just bumped into Ruyi, did that mean that she would find her other friends and him?

Ruyi looked at her unmoving back. The more she spoke, the less confident she felt. There was a difference between speaking face-to-face and over the phone-

just as she was about to give up, Xiaoguo spoke.

“Why did you come to me?”

Ruyi was stunned. Then, she scratched her head shyly and said, “I am not sure either. I just like you. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not gay. I just feel an affinity between us, so I came to look for you,”

The flustered Ruyi hurriedly explained to her. Seeing that the other party didn’t look annoyed, she continued, “I’m the only girl in the department. When I saw your photo with the SUV on the school website, I thought of getting to know you as a friend. Plus, I don’t think you enjoy your major at all because you hardly attend class. So I took the liberty of coming to find you. Actually, archaeology is really fun. Don’t you want to see how people lived thousands of years ago? What were the types of transportation they used, what they ate, what they wore? What they did every day…”

As Ruyi talked about her favorite major, she was extremely proud and couldn’t stop talking about it.

When Xiaoguo heard her words, she felt like teasing her and telling her that they had both come from that place she just mentioned. But she eventually gave up on that idea.

She wasn’t planning to attend any classes in the first place, so she never showed up for any of the lectures that were related to her major. In any case, she had no need for all this knowledge in the future. Instead, she spent more time at the Taekwondo Club and the Martial Arts Club than on her academic classes. As for Archaeology, she could consider joining the major just for the sake of Ruyi.

“Okay, I’m in. I’ll request for a transfer tomorrow.”

Ruyi was so happy that she almost jumped up. She looked at her with sparkling eyes and asked, “Really?”

Xiaoguo smiled and nodded. Seeing this, the other party dragged her out of the room and told her as they walked along, “Why wait till tomorrow? Let’s go now!”

Just like that, Xiaoguo became an archeology major. She also shifted to stay in the same dormitory as Ruyi. They were the only ones living in the dormitory, so it was quite peaceful.

Archaeology was really a charming profession. Even though she had not started formal classes yet, she was already attracted by what the professional lecturers had to say.

After five days of orientation in college, Xiaoguo was ready to go home over the weekend. Ruyi was residing in Lin city. When she saw that Xiaoguo was going home, she also went home since she had nothing else to do.

In the following week, Xiaoguo wouldn’t have time to go home because she had to attend military training. It would last for 14 days and she wouldn’t be able to leave the camp in the middle of training.

At this moment she was driving her pink SUV on the highway, headed for home. She had kept herself busy over the past week. In order to prepare for the apocalypse in a few years, she had spent her time studying taekwondo, martial arts, and judo. Whenever there were any martial arts-related activities in school, she would sign herself up for it. At the same time, she was totally neglecting her academic studies.

But it didn’t matter. When the apocalypse comes, martial arts would be her most useful skill. Her self-healing superpower was largely useless. Picking up martial arts for fitness and self-defense was definitely a good idea.

Back then, she had chosen an SUV as part of her future plan. A normal sedan was too small and flimsy. A large off-road vehicle was much more powerful and would be useful for running over zombies.

Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin knew that Xiaoguo would be back, so they chose not to work over the weekend. Instead, they stayed at home to welcome their precious child.

When Xiaoguo met them, she gave each of them a hug, and after finishing the lovingly-prepared lunch, she dragged her parents to catch up on some gory zombie movies.

If they got used to seeing zombies now, it would not be too shocking if they see a real one in the future.

As expected, Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin almost vomited out the undigested food in their stomachs.

Watching the elderly couple rush off to vomit, Xiaoguo put down the potato chips in her hand and glanced at the TV screen where zombies were biting people. She shrugged and decided that in the future, she would watch these movies with her parents after meals when the food has been digested.

Just like that, for the next two days, they watched a total of six zombie movies. Xiaoguo silently ticked off the first five boxes on her schedule. The past few movies were all entry level ones. There were still two full pages of movies waiting for the two elders.

It was all thanks to those foreign filmmakers who were so passionate about making zombie-themed movies, that she had so much material to sort out. Although some of the movies were not realistic enough, they were all pretty much the same. It didn’t matter as long as they were gory enough.

On Sunday afternoon, Xiaoguo picked up her school bag and waved her cell phone at the two elders who were sending her off. “Dad, Mom, let’s get online and watch a movie together tonight.”

The elderly couple’s faces stiffened, but the neighbors who didn’t know better exclaimed enviously, “Mr. Qin, your daughter is so considerate. Unlike our rebellious kids who don’t come straight home after school. You guys even enjoy family bonding activities like watching movies together. We are so jealous!”

Mr. and Mrs. Qin nodded stiffly and smiled. “That’s right, that’s right. She’s obedient and sensible. Haha…”

“You can watch the movies if you want. And whoever wants this strange daughter can take her away.”

Xiaoguo snickered and waved goodbye to the two elders before driving off.

“Don’t blame me. Its all for your own good.”

Seeing that the pink car was getting further and further away, the two elders almost cried in relief. “That girl is finally gone…”

“Ding-Dong…”

Mrs. Qin received a WeChat notification on her phone. Upon opening the app, she saw that it was a voice message sent by Xiaoguo.

Under Mr. Qin’s encouragement, Mrs. Qin opened the voice message. The voice that usually sounded sweet was now scarier than a demon.

“Mom, Dad, don’t forget. 8:30 pm tonight…. I love you guys…”

The two elders of the Qin family almost embraced each other in tears. Zombies were too torturous and disgusting. They didn’t want this daughter anymore!

Xiaoguo smiled and put down her phone, turning her attention back onto the road.

She didn’t want to do this, but real zombies were even scarier than those in the movies. Mrs. Qin looked brave, but she was actually the least courageous in the family. During the apocalypse, there were many people who died from fright.

And Mr. Qin too. His stomach was so big and he seemed to have gained weight recently. It was time to arrange for him to lose some weight..
