Chapter 22: Childhood Friends vs. Heaven-Falling

Yan Chu looked up at Hu Zi and asked, "Is this bread deflated?"

Hu Zi was stunned: "Leaking?"

He took the bread from Yan Chu and squeezed it hard. With a "biu" sound, the packaging bag deflated completely.

Hu Zi's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I went to get you something else to eat, I didn't pay attention."

A woman at the side glanced at Yan Chu with a hint of disgust in her eyes, then she tore open her bread and took a bite.

This is precious to little girls, and it’s not spoiled, so why can’t you eat it?

Luo Yiyi also raised his hand: "I want to change too, I want to change too!"

Luo Yu tried to stop him a little embarrassedly. As she was new here, she didn't want to cause resentment among the local residents.

But I didn't expect that Luo Yiyi, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, would raise his hand very persistently this time, holding the bread high in his hand.

Hu Zi was very good-tempered. He took the bread from Luo Yiyi and said, "Little sister, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

Luo Yiyi wasn't picky and said with a sweet smile, "Anything except bread, thank you, Brother Huzi!"

Hu Zi was so happy when he heard the call of "Brother Hu Zi" that he went to get other food for them with a smile.

While Yan Chu was waiting, for some reason, he always felt that there was a sinister gaze staring at him in the dark.

She subconsciously glanced into the dark depths of the supermarket, but could not see anything clearly.

When Hu Zi came back, everyone had already started sharing their thrilling experiences before being rescued.

Some were working overtime in the company when they suddenly saw their leaders turned into zombies and rushing towards them.

Some went to pick up their children from school, but when the gate opened, a group of zombies rushed in.

Some people were trying to escape the city by car, but their cars were smashed to pieces by zombies that fell from the sky on the road...

Everyone was chatting happily, except Yan Chu and Gu Qinyuan, who kept silent about their experiences from beginning to end.

Lu Yuanze frequently glanced at Yan Chu beside him, and finally couldn't help asking her, "How have you been these days?"

Yan Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and said casually, "I was staying in a hotel at the time and happened to have bought a lot of snacks. I was lucky and didn't experience anything dangerous."

Lu Yuanze was stunned: "Didn't you never eat snacks before?"

Yan Chu blinked: "People's preferences will change, what's wrong, is that not possible?"

Lu Yuanze shook his head: "Of course, I'm worried about you. I'm glad you didn't encounter those things."

Hu Zi glanced at Lu Yuanze, a little surprised.

Although Lu Yuanze rescued so many people, he never cared about how these people were doing, let alone taking such caring care of them by asking about their well-being.

Hu Zi suddenly thought of a possibility and asked curiously, "Brother Lu, the person you have been looking for is..."

"Yes, it's her."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Yuanze answered him.

Hu Zi was surprised for a moment, then looked at Yan Chu again.

The other survivors also suddenly realized it at this time.

It turned out to be her.

Being stared at by all kinds of eyes, Yan Chu turned his face away uncomfortably, and happened to meet the eyes of Gu Qinyuan who was standing beside him.

His dark eyes stared at her, calm and cold, and the emotions in them were unpredictable.

Hu Zi was extremely curious: "Brother Lu, are you two relatives? Or friends? Classmates?"

"Neither," Lu Yuanze looked at Yan Chu and softened his tone. "We are neighbors. We grew up together."

Hu Zi was shocked: "If that's the case, then you two are...childhood sweethearts!?"

The others also opened their eyes wide.

No wonder Lu Yuanze works so hard to find someone every day.

After all, everyone knows how ambiguous the term "childhood sweethearts" is these days.

Chen Qianxing was also surprised, and his eyes jumped back and forth between Gu Qinyuan and Lu Yuanze.

Could this be the legendary - childhood sweethearts vs. someone who drops from the sky!

Lu Yuanze coughed a little embarrassedly: "Not really...childhood sweethearts, we just knew each other since we were young."

But even if they said that, they couldn't escape the ambiguous gazes of everyone looking at them.

"Brother Lu is really loyal and righteous!"

For some reason, Yan Chu felt a little irritated in his chest.

She stood up and said, "I'm going to go over there and look for some necessities."

Lu Yuanze immediately stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need," Yan Chu refused him, "I can do it alone."

She grabbed her flashlight and headed towards the rest of the supermarket.

Except for the corner that the survivors forcibly illuminated with desk lamps, the rest of the supermarket was basically pitch black.

Yan Chu found the place where wet wipes were placed on the shelf, pulled out a wet wipe, and carefully wiped the dust and blood on her hands that were stained during her escape.

As he was wiping, Yan Chu paused and suddenly shone the flashlight behind him.

It’s Gu Qinyuan.

Yan Chu breathed a sigh of relief: "Why didn't you make any sound? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Gu Qinyuan lowered his eyes and took out a wet wipe from the wet wipe box beside her: "There's some on your face too, let me help you wipe it."

"real?"

Yan Chu blinked, raised his face and let him wipe it obediently.

The wet touch moved across his face, and the remaining bloodstains disappeared bit by bit.

Gu Qinyuan stroked her fair and soft cheek with his fingertips, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips: "You don't know him."

Yan Chu's eyes flashed.

Although Gu Qinyuan did not explicitly say who it was, she knew very well that the "he" Gu Qinyuan was talking about was Lu Yuanze.

But she disguised herself so well that even Lu Yuanze himself didn't notice. How did Gu Qinyuan find out?

Gu Qinyuan's fingers caressed the corners of her eyes intentionally or unintentionally: "Every time he mentioned that he had been looking for you, or what happened between you two, your eyes would subconsciously avoid him."

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she arched her eyebrows: "Really? I just didn't expect him to have been looking for me. I was a little surprised."

Gu Qinyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and lowered his head close to her ear.

"Then why were you in such a hurry to escape just now?"

You don't feel it when this person is lazy, but when he approaches, the dangerous aura around him becomes particularly obvious.

Yan Chu's heart tightened and he subconsciously pushed him.

——clang.

In the narrow aisle, Gu Qinyuan was pushed hard by her and hit the shelf.

Many scattered items on the shelves fell to the ground, making crackling sounds.

Yan Chu: ...

It's bad, I got so excited that I just started doing it.

What should I do? Gu Qinyuan won’t be angry, right?

She felt a little guilty: "Are you...are you okay?"

As he spoke, Yan Chu couldn't help but whispered, "Who told you to always ask me some random questions..."

At this moment, she heard the man in front of her let out a very light laugh.

"If you don't want me to ask, you have to act better and not let others see through it so easily."

Yan Chu: “…”

Aren't you the only one who noticed it?

Seeing Yan Chu pursed her lips tightly and looked a little aggrieved, Gu Qinyuan couldn't help but raise his hand to ruffle her hair.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't we agree that I will stand by your side?"
