Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...
Chapter 343 "Husband, I love you so much"
After recording the information, the staff left, leaving only Jiang Liyue and Chu Li in the room.
Jiang Liyue turned her head, slightly raised her chin to look at him, and repeated with a half-smile, "Fiancée?"
"Dr. Chu, could you explain this?"
"There's no explanation needed. Isn't it supposed to be a family relationship?" Chu Li said indifferently, gesturing to their hands that were still clasped together. "It's not appropriate for siblings to hold hands like this."
A fiancée should, of course, be reasonable.
"With my fiancée's title, you should be able to do whatever you want in the safe zone," Chu Li said in a low voice, as if stating a fact.
It was more like trying to persuade her.
Jiang Liyue retorted, "Will you back me up?"
“Yes, I’ll back you up.” He said without hesitation.
Jiang Liyue smiled and said, "That sounds good, but won't Dr. Chu be at a disadvantage in the future? What if he finds a girl he likes later..."
"Yueyue, don't say things like that." Chu Li interrupted her seriously. "You know perfectly well that I only like you."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Liyue felt that if she kept teasing him, he would really go crazy, so she obediently leaned in and said sweetly, "I like you too, Chu Li."
Chu Li really couldn't do anything about her.
She's always like this; sometimes she'll say something infuriating on purpose, but then she knows how to appease him.
It seems like they're deliberately manipulating him.
But he actually enjoys it immensely; he's hopeless.
Before I had even observed the room for an hour, a group of uniformed staff came over, and the person standing at the front was clearly in a high position.
But the other party's attitude towards Chu Li remained respectful: "Dr. Chu, you must be tired from your journey."
Then, he instructed someone to issue safe zone passes and identical cards to Chu Li and his group.
The card contains the current currency of the safe zone—credits.
Credits can be earned through labor, killing zombies, or handing in important items, and Chu Li's card has 100,000 credits, which is enough to make him practically invincible in the safe zone.
After Chu Li took it, he handed it to Jiang Liyue.
Perhaps it was the report from the staff who recorded their identities, or perhaps it was witnessing the intimate contact between the two of them.
In short, these people had a good attitude towards Jiang Liyue.
Chu Li was taken directly to the laboratory, while Jiang Liyue was personally taken to her residence in the safe zone by dedicated staff.
Chu Li was reluctant to part with Jiang Liyue and kept holding her hand, trying to take her to the laboratory.
The others hesitated, so Jiang Liyue let go of his hand first.
It wasn't that she was considerate of others; if Jiang Liyue really wanted to go somewhere, she wouldn't care about other people's opinions.
She was just really tired: "I want to go home and rest for a while, and then I'll wait for you to come back, okay?"
Several staff members smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. You've had a long journey, you should go home and rest."
That being said, Jiang Liyue can rest, but Chu Li, this big shot, shouldn't rest for now. He should go to the lab and help them solve some problems first...
Seeing her yawning, Chu Li had no choice but to give up, but still looked at her intently and said, "Wait for me at home."
That look seemed to say, "If you don't stay home and wait for me, and I catch you trying to escape, I'll tie you to the bed."
Jiang Liyue smiled and waved: "Bye-bye."
Once you step into the safe zone, the mission of "finding the safe zone" is complete.
The staff member who guided Jiang Liyue exclaimed, "Dr. Chu is so kind to you; you two must have a very good relationship."
Jiang Liyue exclaimed "Ah!" and said with a smile, "Our relationship is indeed very good."
When she smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, and even the strands of her hair had a beautiful arc, making even a female staff member blush.
Oh my god, she's so pretty and cute! If she were Dr. Chu, she would treat such a lovely fiancée well too.
Jiang Liyue had no idea what the staff were thinking. Seeing that she didn't say anything, she looked around on her own.
The safe zone was spacious and the houses were clean. Jiang Liyue guessed that it was probably a converted resort or something similar.
However, it has expanded outwards to cover a large area, somewhat like a small city.
The houses outside were clearly newly built on temporary grounds. The infrastructure construction was indeed very fast, but it was not actually fully completed yet. Jiang Liyue saw that some people were still working there.
"Helping build houses also earns you credit points, up to forty per day. You don't have to leave the safe zone to kill zombies outside, so many people are eager to do it," a staff member explained.
Jiang Liyue nodded: "Oh."
"The houses outside are all newly built. Although the construction is fast, the quality is generally poor, and they are all shared accommodations. Your home and Dr. Chu's home are in the central area, where they are detached villas, and the living conditions will be much better."
Jiang Liyue felt that this instance really benefited from Chu Li's fame, after all, the value of a genius biology PhD is undeniable in the apocalypse.
Although she is strong enough to kill zombies, it is basically impossible for her to actually live in such a large villa.
Thank you, boyfriend.
The staff somehow acquired an electric scooter and drove Jiang Liyue into the central area.
On the way, she explained some of the rules of the safe zone to Jiang Liyue.
The central area isn't open to just anyone; there are guards around, and staff members can only proceed after showing their identification.
They soon arrived at their small villa, which wasn't very big, just a three-story building with each floor not very spacious. It was clearly a converted vacation villa.
"We have food at home. If you need anything, please contact us." The staff member said goodbye to Jiang Liyue.
Jiang Liyue waved her hand, went inside the villa and looked around. Everything was complete, even the tap water was supplied normally.
Jiang Liyue took a shower and then went to the master bedroom to settle in. She was so comfortable that she forgot that her "fiancé" was still working hard in the laboratory.
Jiang Liyue was indeed tired from the journey. Although she had been sleeping the whole time, sleeping in the car was never very restful. So when she lay down, she really and truly fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, she was hungry.
I sat up in bed, clutching my blanket, and looked out the window, only to realize that it was already dark.
No way, could it be that Chu Li is still working in the lab?
It seems that being a respected genius doctor isn't so easy; you have to work like a beast of burden as soon as you arrive in the safe zone.
Nothing is as comfortable as her lying flat.
Jiang Liyue decided that she would just be a complete waste in this instance (peacefully).
She rolled out of bed, intending to go downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat, but as soon as she got downstairs, she noticed that the kitchen light was on.
In the dim light, she saw a man in a white coat seemingly chopping vegetables.
His expression was so serious, as if he were conducting some extremely meticulous experiment.
Before Jiang Liyue could speak, Chu Li sensed something and turned his head, meeting her smiling eyes.
She dashed over and hugged his arm, exclaiming, "Honey, I love you so much!"
