Sheng Xingzhou didn't expect that he would be caught doing something bad. He touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable: "You saw it all."

"No." Sang Jiyue unbuckled his seatbelt and jumped out of the car with brisk steps. His dark eyes rolled around as he said mischievously, "But I feel like the zombie's arrival was a bit too coincidental, and you and I are the only ones on the same side, so it must be you."

Sheng Xingzhou was surprised and praised her: "You guessed it all, you are so smart, Sister Yue."

While Sheng Xingzhou was bending down to get out of the passenger seat, Sang Jiyue patted his head affectionately, then ran and jumped upstairs happily.

Whether it is her flying hair or her brisk steps, everything reveals her good mood.

Sheng Xingzhou unconsciously scratched the top of his head where she had patted him, seeming a little dazed. His hand hanging by his side was still trembling slightly.

He understood that this was just the beginning of Sang Jiyue's revenge.

He won't be a burden anymore.

…

Sheng Xingzhou originally thought that after Yin Qiao and the others came back, Lin Luoan, Ye Lin or Sang Huai would continue to cause trouble for Sang Jiyue, but unexpectedly, they were still living in peace upstairs and downstairs as usual.

The abnormal relationship did not break up because of that quarrel that almost broke up the relationship?

Yin Qiao still occasionally went upstairs to talk to Sang Jiyue as usual. His eyes were still red, but his mood was relatively stable. Lin Luoqing, who usually came with Yin Qiao, had become much more distant from Sang Jiyue. He often stayed alone quietly and was very withdrawn.

Days like this shouldn't have lasted too long. They had originally planned to head to the survivor base after collecting this wave of supplies, but the weather in the apocalypse was changeable, and another continuous rainstorm hindered their travel.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed. The gloomy weather has improved a lot in the past few days. They will leave here in a few days.

It’s just that the bad weather made Sang Jiyue sick again. Although she has almost recovered in the past few days, she is still sick. If she wants to go with them, she will probably have trouble again.

Except for Sheng Xingzhou, everyone was used to her frequent illness and didn't think it was a serious matter. The only one who was worried was Sheng Xingzhou... and perhaps Yin Qiao as well.

Sang Jiyue has the habit of drinking a cup of hot milk every morning, but the milk she collected before has been used up. Sheng Xingzhou plans to go somewhere farther away to look for it today, otherwise Sang Jiyue will have no milk to drink tomorrow morning.

Sheng Xingzhou did not forget to find Yin Qiao to take care of Sang Jiyue.

Yin Qiao agreed quickly, but she stopped Sheng Xingzhou and said she wanted to talk to him.

Sheng Xingzhou: "Do I have anything to talk to you about?"

"What I want to talk about is A Yue." Yin Qiao said softly.

"Okay." Sheng Xingzhou agreed immediately.

The two went to the creek behind the building to talk. Fine raindrops were falling obliquely from the sky. They did not hold an umbrella. In front of them was the water surface with ripples stirred up by the raindrops.

Yin Qiao stared at the damp soil beneath his feet and asked Sheng Xingzhou, "Are you planning to continue traveling with us?"

"Um."

Yin Qiao murmured: "It's still like this..."

Sheng Xingzhou suddenly said, "Are you guys sick?"

"Do you think so too?" Yin Qiao smiled and said, "I think so too, but I'm the one who's sick."

The young girl looked out at the rippling water. "We've been like this since we were little. I'm good friends with every one of them, but I don't know why. They just can't get along with Ah Yue. But because of me, no matter how big the fight gets, we'll stick together."

“But actually, everyone got together because of me.”

Yin Qiao talked a lot, all about the quarrels among their group before the end of the world.

She said Sang Jiyue hated Lin Luoan, Ye Lin, and Sang Huai, and they also hated Sang Jiyue.

She said that Lin Luoan and Ye Lin also had conflicts.

She also said that Sang Huai didn't like Lin Luoqing, who followed her like a follower to see Sang Jiyue every day.

Yin Qiao had thought these were trivial matters, until Xu Zhiyuan died and Sang Jiyue fell out with them. Lin Luoan was so provoked that he spoke without thinking. After Sang Jiyue left, he said to her -

"Yin Qiao, why are you always like this? Do you think everyone can be as heartless as you?"

"It's because you insisted on bringing us together, otherwise I would have left with Zhiyuan long ago! Zhiyuan wouldn't have died today! It's all because of you!"

"If you hadn't kept Ye Lin, who was about to leave alone, if you hadn't let Sang Jiyue stay with us, if..."

Lin Luoan listed many possibilities, but he never mentioned them gathering together peacefully.

Afterwards, Lin Luoan apologized to Yin Qiao, saying that she had just said that in anger. Yin Qiao also said that it didn't matter, and that this time Yin Qiao didn't even need to do anything. After their quarrel and fight, they were all safe and sound again.

But Yin Qiao finally realized that this was not normal.

Yin Qiao looked at Sheng Xingzhou and said in a very soft voice: "Ayue stayed because of me, but I can't leave Ahuai. They will never be able to reconcile. Maybe I shouldn't insist on them both being by my side anymore."

"Senior, I know you like Ah Yue. I've seen how much you've taken care of her during this time. I believe you'll treat her very well. There's no problem at all for Ah Yue to live alone with you."

She seemed to have made a difficult decision: "Senior, can you take Ah Yue away?"

Stay away from them.

The further you go, the better.

Yin Qiao only now realized that the one who had been hurting Sang Jiyue all along was not only Sang Huai and the others, but also himself, who was so greedy that he wanted all his friends to be by her side.

All of them brought suffering to Sang Jiyue.

It was like that in the past, but Yin Qiao doesn't want it to be like that in the future.

Sheng Xingzhou naturally knew that Sang Jiyue wanted to stay here not only for revenge, but also because of Yin Qiao. Not long ago, he also heard Sang Jiyue say -

No matter which side has a conflict, she will mediate and never feel tired, and we just fall for it.

Yin Qiao seems to have some obsession with reunion.

But she seems to be able to let it go now.

Sheng Xingzhou asked: "What if Ah Yue doesn't want to go with me?"

"I'm a little hesitant to tell Ah Yue these words..." Yin Qiao lowered his head in shame, but his voice was firm: "But if Ah Yue doesn't want to, I will persuade her, don't worry."

Yin Qiao hopes that her beloved friend can start a new life and no longer have to be involved with people she hates.

At the distant windowsill, Sang Huai and Ye Lin saw Sheng Xingzhou and Yin Qiao talking.

Soon, they saw Sheng Xingzhou leaving alone.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should be going to find milk for Sang Jiyue. A few days ago, Yin Qiao apologized to Sheng Xingzhou and told him that she had no milk either.

Sang Huai said in a deep voice, "Are you sure that the zombie that pounced on Luo An was the work of Sheng Xingzhou?"

"Do you still think I'm trying to sow discord?" Ye Lin's face darkened.

It was obvious that the zombie was pushed over at the time, and no one noticed anything wrong at the time, but after reviewing the situation afterwards, there were many doubts.

The only one in the team who is at odds with them is Sang Jiyue, but Sang Jiyue doesn't have that much strength. That leaves Sheng Xingzhou, and everyone knows that she is the lackey of that bad girl Sang Jiyue.

Sang Huai obviously thought of this as well, and he shook his head.

Ye Lin said coldly: "I was also surprised by Zhiyuan's death. If I had known this would be the outcome, I would have taken action earlier. But now that things have become a foregone conclusion, all we can do is avenge Zhiyuan, or at least give Luo An an explanation."

Their eyes fell on Lin Luoan, who was sitting silently beside them, for a moment.

Sang Huai felt a headache when he thought about the relationship between them, but Ye Lin was right. He said: "The same way Zhiyuan died, I want Sheng Xingzhou to die!"

Sang Huai left quickly.

Suddenly, there was a "boom" sound outside the window. Ye Lin looked out and saw several helicopters flying in the distance. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be the military, perhaps they had finally come to support Haiyan District.

Amidst the noise, Lin Luoan's voice rang out: "Is Sang Jiyue alone now?"

"And Qiao Qiao." Ye Lin replied.

Lin Luoan said, "Lead her away."

…

The conflict between them has never been resolved.

Except for Yin Qiao, everyone knew the truth, so when Yin Qiao was called away by Ye Lin and Ye Luoan rushed towards her, Sang Jiyue was not surprised at all.

After all, Xu Zhiyuan is dead, and it seems that no one has paid the price for this incident.

It was Lin Luoqing who died in the previous life, and Lin Luoan wanted to kill her, but was stopped by Yin Qiao. This time Yin Qiao is not here, and they still have to settle the past grudges.

Sang Jiyue wants to kill Lin Luoan.

However, Lin Luoan's earth shield was indeed very tricky, and Sang Jiyue was unable to break her shield for a while. Instead, the unfinished building, which was not even a bare shell, was covered with mud spots.

The two of them made a lot of noise. Sang Jiyue looked at the earth spikes that were so close to her. Just as she was about to take out her dagger, Yin Qiao's scream suddenly rang out: "No!"

Lin Luoan's hand paused slightly, but Sang Jiyue had already taken out the dagger, broke through the earth spikes, and stabbed Lin Luoan's neck without blinking -

In a flash, the golden blade knocked the dagger out of her hand.

Sang Jiyue sighed, "What a pity."

Ye Lin's face was very cold. Xu Zhiyuan was already dead, so he naturally couldn't bear to see Lin Luoan get into trouble. He was about to step forward, but was held back tightly by Yin Qiao.

"Are you guys done yet?!"

Ye Lin paused, Lin Luoan sneered and said indifferently: "Forget it then."

After all, they still have many futures.

Yin Qiao understood this time. She didn't care about anything else and said with a choked voice: "Ayue, please go..."

"What?" Sang Jiyue asked subconsciously.

Lin Luoan seemed to understand something, and she taunted him bluntly, "Can't you hear it? Qiao Qiao told you to get out."

"That's not what I meant!" Yin Qiao said loudly, then explained helplessly: "Ayue, I think it's clear now, I..."

Before he finished speaking, there were soft footsteps coming up the stairs. A tall figure bent down to pick up the dagger that Sang Jiyue had dropped and stood beside her.

The man's sapphire-like eyes looked at everyone present, and his gentle yet distant voice seemed a little helpless: "Are your friends arguing with you again?"

Sang Jiyue stared at him without saying a word.

The moment Ye Lin saw Jiang Wangxi, his face suddenly darkened.

Lin Luoan's expression was unnatural and a bit fearful.

Instead, Yin Qiao said in surprise: "Brother Xi! How did you know we were here?"

"I came here with the military." Jiang Wangxi met Sang Jiyue's eyes. His tone was slow, revealing a hint of tenderness: "I'm here to take you home."

Yin Qiao was overjoyed: "I'll go find Ah Huai and Qing Qing and tell them the good news!"

Yin Qiao left quickly, leaving the space to Sang Jiyue and Jiang Wangxi.

Ye Lin and Lin Luoan also left as if they could avoid it.

Jiang Wangxi handed the dagger in his hand to Sang Jiyue, who took it with his left hand.

His gaze paused for a moment on her left hand, and then he spoke gently: "Xiaoyue, long time no see."

The so-called long time no see naturally does not mean from the time he flew to Yancheng to meet her on the eve of her college entrance examination in June to the time they met again in November.

What is crossed is the distance between past and present lives.

The moment she saw Jiang Wangxi here, Sang Jiyue realized that Jiang Wangxi was the same as her.

They are the ones who understand each other best.

So Sang Jiyue understood, and Jiang Wangxi also knew, that they both had a chance to start over.

Sang Jiyue didn't say anything for a long time.

Jiang Wangxi vaguely realized that something seemed strange, and then he heard the girl's hoarse voice: "Long time no see? How long? Do you still remember, brother?"

She seemed to hesitate for a long time, her voice becoming hoarse, before she finally spoke.

Jiang Wangxi said: "Three years."

In the seventh year of the apocalypse, Sang Jiyue lost more than just her right hand in the battle with Sang Huai.

And the man in front of me.

"It's indeed three years." She smiled suddenly, her eyes red as she murmured, "It's three years... three years..."

"Xiaoyue, I see your tears again." The man's clean pale fingertips fell on the corners of her eyes, bringing a cool temperature.

When he saw Sang Jiyue in his previous life, she was already a zombie. Zombies can't speak or shed tears. They are just moving corpses.

Sang Jiyue's eyes were red, but the corners of her eyes were dry. She didn't cry.

The girl lowered her brows and brushed away his fingertips.

Jiang Wangxi asked her, "Do you want a hug?"

Sang Jiyue hugged him silently. Perhaps she recalled some memories from her past life, and her eyes looked a little empty.

Until a warm kiss fell on her forehead.

Sang Jiyue suddenly came back to his senses.

Feeling something was wrong again, he turned his head and saw a young man standing at the stairs.

It was already evening, and the gloomy sky could not reveal the brilliant sunset glow. There was only endless darkness, casting a gray shadow at the stairs.

It seemed that Sheng Xingzhou was not wearing this coat when he went out this morning.

His face also looked a little pale, and the look he gave her was mixed with confusion and fragility. His arms hung at his sides, his bony fingers curled up and trembling slightly. The color of his right sleeve seemed to be soaked in some liquid and became very dark.

This is the Sheng Xingzhou that Sang Jiyue saw.

Where she couldn't see, on the strong forearm, the hideous blackened teeth marks and the skin had begun to rot and were covered by the sleeve.

...What's wrong with him?

Are you feeling down for not finding the milk for her?

Sang Jiyue subconsciously pushed Jiang Wangxi away, but before she could move, the man next to her clasped her five fingers and led her towards Sheng Xingzhou.
