Chapter 55

Near a villa somewhere, Fu Chuqing withdrew his mental power from the body of a high-level zombie. At the moment of withdrawal, he stopped and felt the traces of the mental power inside being impacted.

Fu Chu raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses were as cold as ice.

Late that night, Ji Yuanchen was sleeping in bed. He suddenly opened his eyes and half-sat up with a very gloomy expression.

It was pitch black all around, but he said coldly, "Come out."

After a while, a tall figure appeared by the window. It was Fu Chuqing.

Ji Yuanchen walked out of the house. Under the moonlight, the figure not far away was tall and slender, about the same height as him.

He looked Fu Chuqing up and down, and Fu Chuqing was also looking at the strange man who walked out through the dim light.

"Are you controlling the high-level zombies lying in ambush nearby?" Ji Yuanchen took the lead in breaking the tense situation.

"It's me." Fu Chuqing's voice was deep.

Then both of them fell silent, both knowing that the other came for Qiao Yanrou.

"You were the one Yanrou was hiding from before?" This time it was Fu Chuqing who broke the deadlock.

Ji Yuanchen slowly denied it: "She loves me very much and won't hide from me."

Fu Chu raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses, a sneer on his lips, as if he disdained what he said.

"Although the truth is hard for you to accept, the man Yanrou loves most is me. She can only be mine."

Ji Yuanchen had been arguing with Shen Luohan about these things for a long time, and he was not provoked: "Who she belongs to, it depends on what Yan Rou says."

Fu Chuqing looked at him silently with a calm expression. Ever since he found Qiao Yanrou in the abandoned house and saw her living alone in the abandoned house, that scene was so familiar. When he met her at the beginning, she was alone.

At that time, he looked at the abandoned house for a long time and did not go over to take her away. She liked this kind of quiet life, so he let her stay.

He was usually busy and worried about her staying alone in the abandoned house, so he had to let the trained high-level zombies guard nearby to drive away any approaching zombies at any time, and keep his mental power in the zombies' bodies to prevent them from getting out of control.

Within two days, the strange man appeared in front of him.

Both sides saw that the other had no intention of disturbing Qiao Yanrou, and the stalemate atmosphere eased.

"How long have you been with her?" Fu Chuqing suddenly asked him.

Ji Yuanchen naturally wouldn't tell the truth: "Two years."

Fu Chuqing's expression remained unchanged: "It's a long time, but... it will only be two years."

Ji Yuanchen smiled: "You might as well give it a try."

The atmosphere began to become tense again, and the two men, without any prior agreement, walked away from the abandoned house and came to an open space to fight.

In the end, both men were injured. Fu Chu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, adjusted his glasses, and said to him, "I just happened to be busy. Do you want to join me? After this is resolved, I will compete with you again."

Ji Yuan swallowed the blood that welled up in his throat and asked, "What's the matter?"

Fu Chuqing told him what he was planning: "...She always runs away, and I'm worried." In the end times, nothing is dangerous for him, but for Qiao Yanrou, there are dangers everywhere.

If she runs away again, we won't be able to track her down for a while and something could easily happen.

So... Fu Chuqing made this plan, so that even if she ran away again one day, she would not die at the hands of zombies.

After listening to his entire plan, Ji Yuanchen was silent for a long time: "I'll think about it."

Fu Chuqing covered his chest and took a few breaths: "If you think it through, come find me in that row of villas."

"The villa where Yanrou and I lived not long ago." He did not forget to provoke. As soon as he finished speaking, a mental force attacked him, and he also used mental force to fight back.

The two men started fighting again.

Qiao Yanrou was sleeping soundly in the basement of an abandoned house, and the noise coming from afar did not wake her up.

The next morning, she came out of the basement, washed up, and ran to the back of the house to work on her vegetable garden and the hen.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the autumn leaves have fallen and winter is approaching. Now Qiao Yanrou can eat eggs and fresh vegetables every day.

During this period of time, I haven't encountered a single zombie. It's strange to say, there seem to be fewer zombies now. Not a single one has crashed into here in such a long time.

Occasionally, a person with special abilities would pass by here, but they would leave quickly.

Qiao Yanrou usually watered the vegetables. Because she was afraid that there would not be enough rice, she let the hen roam free and find food on its own. Fortunately, after she raised the hen for a while, it would find its way back in the evening.

She picked up the eggs and put them away every day, and ate two every day.

I went back to the basement in the afternoon to read some books, and the days were very pleasant.

When winter came, she took out the only thick coat from the storage space and put it on. Fortunately, it was not cold in the basement.

That morning, she came out of the basement and as soon as she opened the partition, she saw snowflakes floating outside the window and cold air invading the basement exit.

Next to the partition were thick coats, clothes and pants packed in packaging bags, which looked very thick.

She was stunned and quickly walked out of the basement, looking through the coats, clothes and pants.

After counting, I found that there were four sets of coats, clothes and pants.

Looking at the winter clothes in front of her, Qiao Yanrou was completely dumbfounded. These clothes... were given to her?

Ji Yuanchen's handsome face flashed through her mind.

It seemed like he was the only one who knew. Could it be that Ji Yuanchen had always been nearby?

Qiao Yanrou was stunned for a long time, and walked out of the abandoned house carefully. All she saw was a vast expanse of white snow, and there was no trace of anyone walking on the snow-covered road.

She looked around but still found no sign of anyone.

Qiao Yanrou returned to the house and carried all the clothes next to the partition into the basement. She opened the packages and tried them on one by one. Whether it was a coat or clothes, they all fit her perfectly, and were very thick and warm.

She sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. It seemed... these clothes were indeed for her.

Apart from Ji Yuanchen, no one else knew that she was here.

Qiao Yanrou's face was buried in the collar of her coat, and her mood, which had been calm for a long time, began to beat again.

It turns out he still cares about her. Is he worried that she will be cold?

After being stunned for a while, she put the clothes into the storage space.

Qiao Yanrou hid in the basement and took out the wool that was gathering dust in the storage space. She didn't even know when she took it out. She might have picked it up while searching the supermarket.

She used her water power to condense knitting needles and started knitting a sweater for the hen.

Because the hen is not big, it is very quick to knit and I finished two thick sweaters in the afternoon.

She knitted two sweaters together to provide better protection against the cold.

After leaving the basement, the wind blew in from all directions of the house. It was extremely cold. Fortunately, she was wearing enough clothes.

Behind the house, the haystacks that covered the fence were weighed down by the snow.

Maybe it was too cold, so the hen didn't walk around and stayed in the rainproof and warm wooden house she had built.

Qiao Yanrou called out "chu chu chu" a few times. The hen heard her calling it and came out of the cabin and walked towards her in the wind and snow.

She put the sweater on the hen, which fit her perfectly. She left gaps for its wings so that it could cover the wings but would not affect its flapping. Qiao Yanrou looked at it from left to right and was very satisfied with her craftsmanship.

Perhaps feeling warm, the hen clucked softly a few times, flapped its wings happily in the snow, and dared to walk in the snow.

Qiao Yanrou filled the mineral water bottles in the cabin with water and rice, as it was difficult for the hens to find food in the snow.

In the snow nearby, a tall figure wearing a long black coat appeared, and his handsome face looked like a sculpture carved from beautiful jade in the wind and snow.

Ji Yuanchen watched her bend down to put clothes on the hen. Although they were not very close, he could see clearly that the sweater she knitted for the hen was thick and bulging.

At this moment, he wanted to hug her from behind...

Ji Yuanchen's eyes were a little lost, but when he saw that the coat she was wearing was a gift from him, his expression softened.

When some people are happy, naturally some people will be unhappy.

Fu Chuqing stood on the snow on the other side, his gentle and modest face looking unhappy. He raised his hand to push his gold-rimmed glasses and stared at her coat...his eyes were colder than the snow in front of him.

He glanced at Ji Yuanchen opposite him, his thin lips tensed.

In the vegetable garden behind the abandoned house, Qiao Yanrou looked at the vegetable garden covered with snow. She had picked the vegetables early yesterday for fear of snow.

I didn’t expect it to snow. Fortunately, I picked the vegetables yesterday, otherwise I don’t know if all the vegetables in the vegetable garden would be frozen.
