Chapter 137 The Anti-Human Boss 7

Seeing her looking at him in surprise, Yi Xichen felt a little proud. "Little cat, do you feel especially reliable now that you're with me? I know a lot of things, and in this world, only I can protect you."

Seeing his smugly raised eyebrows, Xu Qiuqiu had to admit, he was incredibly cute when he was being docile...

She couldn't help but smile. "Alright, alright, only Achen can protect me."

Hearing her approval, Yi Xichen was even more satisfied. "Then shouldn't the kitten go back to my arms?" he said, before pulling her close to his body.

Once again, she was pressed into his arms. The cool scent emanating from him made her feel a little dizzy. Couldn't he stop tempting her? This was the apocalypse! Zombies could come at any time, especially at night.

She looked out the window and found it pitch black and she couldn't see anything clearly, but it was quite quiet. However, it always made her uneasy, and she was always afraid that zombies would suddenly appear.

Suddenly, she felt a warm touch on her neck, which made her tremble involuntarily. Her thoughts were instantly pulled back. It was Yi Xichen's fingers rubbing her skin. She heard him say with some pleasure, "Little cat, shall I give you a name?"

Fearing he might give her some strange nickname again, Xu Qiuqiu quickly said, "I have a name, my name is—"

Before I could even speak, he interrupted me.

"How about I call you Qiuqiu?"

"Achen?" Xu Qiuqiu called out to him in surprise. Didn't he not know his own name? Was his name chosen so accurately?

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Yi Xichen's tone was a bit domineering. "You have to like it whether you like it or not. You're my little cat, and I have to name you. You belong exclusively to me."

He didn't know why he chose this name; it just slipped out, and it sounded quite sweet, making him feel at peace. His voice softened a bit as he said, "Qiuqiu, my Qiuqiu."

Hearing him call her name tenderly, Xu Qiuqiu's ears turned red again. Even though she had heard so many stories from different worlds, she still couldn't help but feel her heart race.

Why does it sound so good when he says it...?

Listening to his heartbeat, Xu Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Achen, why don't you go to the back and rest for a bit? I'll drive the car to a safer place."

“No.” Yi Xichen shook his head. “I can’t let you go, you’ll leave.”

He always felt she would leave, so he held her tightly, preventing her from running away.

He thought for a moment and promised her, "Qiuqiu, don't be afraid, I'm here, I will protect you."

Thinking about his illness, Xu Qiuqiu felt helpless. He seemed very well-behaved, but he was particularly stubborn about letting go of her, which gave her a headache. She didn't know how to coax him to let go.

But she knew that nighttime was really dangerous, and zombies might appear at any moment. She softened her voice and persuaded him, "Achen, don't be silly. I won't leave. We have to leave quickly. What if zombies come?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xichen suddenly smiled, "Qiuqiu, don't you believe me? I will protect you. Don't worry, the zombies won't appear to disturb us."

Listening to his confident words, Xu Qiuqiu felt that he was exaggerating. Although he had several superpowers, he might not be able to defeat a large number of zombies, especially since he was bringing her along, who didn't have any superpowers. Moreover, he was sick. No matter how she thought about it, it didn't seem right.

Although he's behaving himself now, he doesn't seem to be easily fooled. Thinking of this, Xu Qiuqiu narrowed her eyes and said in a slightly coquettish voice, "Achen, I want to hug you too, so can you relax a little?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xichen's eyes lit up, and the hand that was tightly holding his slender waist relaxed a bit. Xu Qiuqiu looked up at him, smiled, and reached out to hook her arm around his neck.

Yi Xichen stared blankly at her smile, looking at her obediently, not knowing what he was expecting. His heart suddenly started racing. Then he felt a pain in the back of his neck. In the instant he lost consciousness, he stared blankly at her, a thought flashing through his mind: Did she still want to leave?

A fierce rage flashed in his eyes, and before he could even hold her hand tightly, he lost consciousness.

Xu Qiuqiu felt a bit of pain from his grip and tried to break free but couldn't. She could only pry his fingers apart one by one. She didn't understand why he could still have such a strong grip even when he was unconscious.

Looking at his long eyelashes, she sighed. She didn't want it to be like this. No matter what she said, he wouldn't listen, and he was sick. This was the only way, but it worked quite well. Simple and direct.

She helped Yi Xichen into the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and then drove to the safe location indicated by 003.

After arriving at the building, Xu Qiuqiu parked the car, turned off the engine, opened the car door, lifted Yi Xichen's arm and placed it on her shoulder, half-helping him into the building.

She helped him into the building and saw a hard bed. There was no need to be picky at this point. She helped him onto the bed, then took a blanket from the car and covered him with it. After doing all this, she closed the door, leaned against it, and was panting heavily. Sure enough, this body just couldn't keep up with her stamina.

After a while, she carefully got into bed, lay down not too close to Yi Xichen, and closed her eyes to rest.

Because the bed was too hard, Xu Qiuqiu woke up very early. She felt her hands and feet were starting to ache. She rubbed her arms and looked up at Yi Xichen, who was still asleep next to her. She touched his forehead and found that he still had a fever.

It wasn't as hot as yesterday, but it still had an abnormal temperature. She frowned in surprise. Logically, the temperature should have gone down overnight. Could it be that his fever was more serious?

She had no choice but to ask 003, "003, why isn't Achen better yet? Is it because the system's medicine isn't working?"

"How could that be! Anything produced by the system is guaranteed to work!" 003 said anxiously, "Host, how can you doubt the system?"

Xu Qiuqiu asked curiously, "Then why hasn't Achen cooled down yet?"

"Host, it's impossible for it not to work, unless the second male lead isn't running a fever." 003 thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, that must be it."

Xu Qiuqiu seized on the key point and asked, "You mean Achen doesn't have a fever? Then what illness does he have?"

She thought about it carefully and realized it made sense. No one could speak so fluently when they had a fever, and they weren't easily fooled. It was probably because her body temperature had risen that she subconsciously thought she had a fever.

"Host, don't worry, let me take a look." 003 glanced at the big data. "Host, I roughly know what's wrong with the second male lead. His symptoms are probably due to excessive consumption of his superpowers, causing his body to enter a period of weakness, which is why he has a high fever."

After hearing 003's explanation, Xu Qiuqiu pressed further, "Then why did his personality change?"
