Chapter 2, I'm Going to Hit You
Feeling that Jiang Ran's attitude today was different from usual, Luo Rui raised an eyebrow and looked at her for a moment, then smiled and stood up: "I said so."
She admitted her despicable behavior so bluntly.
"Jiang Ranran, Chengzhi has already broken up with you. Don't you understand? Even if you continue to pester us and follow us, Chengzhi will not continue to like you." The girl showed a cold and arrogant expression, looking down at Jiang Ran, "Do you think that you can win everyone's favor and make everyone accept you by leading the zombies away for the team? Don't waste your energy."
Not used to this upward angle, Jiang Ran struggled to get up, showing no intention of backing down: "Just because of this, you want Jiang Ranran to die?"
Isn’t this what is written in the novel - in order to get rid of Jiang Ranran, who is holding her back, Luo Rui has to use some means that go against her conscience.
Going against your conscience? Haha.
"I don't want you to die. I just don't want you to continue pestering Chengzhi."
"Since you have such confidence in your Chengzhi, why did you use such shameful means to frame me?" Jiang Ran sneered, "He's just a stinky man, do you think I care?!"
Following this group would still lead to a tragic ending. So, why not just break up and go our separate ways?
"Jiang Ranran, did you hurt your brain?" Hearing the girl's fierce words, Luo Rui frowned and looked at her, "Aren't you the one who is pestering us..."
Before she finished speaking, footsteps approached. Luo Rui's disgusted expression instantly disappeared, replaced by concern: "Ranran, I know you are blaming me for not saving you in time, but I also have my responsibilities as the captain. I can't..."
"Luo Rui, Xie Chengzhi is here." Jiang Ran interrupted the girl's play and raised an eyebrow and smiled, "How about I make the play more realistic for you?"
Luo Rui was puzzled: "What?"
Before she could react, Jiang Ran rudely swung his hand and slapped her hard on the cheek.
With a crisp "pa" sound, Luo Rui was hit and staggered two steps and fell to the ground.
"This is your reward for plotting against me." If it weren't for Jiang Ranran, the entire team would have become a meal for the zombies - compared to their lives, it was just a slap in the face, not even a penny of interest.
Jiang Ran slapped Luo Rui with all his strength. Luo Rui covered her face with her hands, her ears were buzzing, and the taste of rust spread in her mouth.
She slowly raised her eyes, looked at Jiang Ran, and said word by word: "Jiang! Ran! Ran!" This damn woman, not only did she pester her boyfriend, she even dared to hit her!
Jiang Ran was not afraid at all when she met the girl's angry eyes. She knew very well that the moment the man stepped into this shabby house, Luo Rui would swallow up all her anger.
Sure enough, the door of the wooden house was pushed open again, and the boy leaned forward and said, "Ruirui, dinner is already ready... Ruirui?!"
The handsome boy looked grim. He rushed to Luo Rui and helped her up: "Rui Rui, what are you doing..."
"I hit her." Before Luo Rui could complain, Jiang Ran said, "With this hand." She shook her wrist, "Xie Chengzhi, to prevent your girlfriend from being disfigured, you should take her back and apply some medicine."
"Jiang Ranran!" Hearing her speak so confidently, the boy's handsome face twisted and he angrily asked, "Why did you hit Ruirui?!"
"Forget it, Chengzhi, it's my fault..."
"You heard it too. It's her fault." Jiang Ran interrupted Luo Rui's complaint and spread his hands. "Look, the people who got beaten didn't have any complaints. Why are you so fierce?"
Luo Rui: “……?”
Xie Chengzhi: "...?" The anger in the boy's eyes was replaced by confusion. He frowned and looked at Jiang Ranran, hesitant: Is this girl in front of him Jiang Ranran? Why does it feel... different?
"If you have nothing else, could you please leave first?" Jiang Ran asked, "Oh, it would be even better if you could give me a change of clothes."
"You wish!" A woman who only hinders others, beats people up, and still wants supplies? Dream on!
Xie Chengzhi left the cabin in a huff, hugging his lover. Returning to the living room, he ran into his teammate Zhou Jian, who was coming out of the kitchen. The little girl saw Luo Rui's face and exclaimed, "Rui Rui, your face..."
"Xiao Zhou, please bring me some medicine for injuries."
…
Back in the room, Luo Rui covered her face with her hands, her eyes red and choking with sobs: "Chengzhi, I won't be disfigured, will I?... Woohoo, I just wanted to go see if Ranran was feeling better. I didn't expect her to be so hostile to me..."
"Don't cry." Feeling sorry for his girlfriend's face, Xie Chengzhi gently embraced her and whispered, "The wound on your face will be fine after applying the medicine. Don't worry."
"Really?"
"Well, when have I ever lied to you?"
The two were flirting when Zhou Jian came up with some medicine for injuries. "Captain Xie, Gu Yunqing is looking for you. It seems he's looking to arrange for you to be on duty tonight..."
"I'll be right down." He instructed Zhou Jian as he passed by her, "Take good care of Ruirui."
As the captain of this team, Xie Chengzhi still tried his best to maintain his captain's dignity when cooperating with other teams.
"I know!"
After sending Xie Chengzhi away, Zhou Jian applied medicine to Luo Rui: "Ruirui, didn't you go to see Jiang Ranran? The wound on your face..."
"Ranran beat me up." Luo Rui sighed and said helplessly, "She blamed me for taking Chengzhi away. It's only right that she hates me."
"She hit you?" Zhou Jian, who had a good relationship with Luo Rui, was furious on her friend's behalf. "You've been protecting her all this time, and just for Xie Chengzhi, she hit you? Besides, they're single, so who can she blame for not being able to keep her boyfriend? That woman is really taking advantage of you!"
"Okay, Ranran definitely didn't do it on purpose." Luo Rui comforted her friend, "Besides, she got lost today and I didn't go to save her, and she..."
"She got lost while wandering around on her own. What does it have to do with us?" Zhou Jian muttered. "It would have been fine if she really died, but someone had the temerity to save her..."
Luo Rui was even more helpless: "Zhou Zhou, just say this in front of me, don't let others hear it, okay?"
"I know." Zhou Jian smiled. "Do you know who gave me this medicine for injuries?"
"Who is it?"
"Captain Gu!" Zhou Jian said with a smile, "As soon as he heard you were injured, Captain Gu asked his teammates to bring me some medicine for injuries. Tell me, is he interested in you..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Luo Rui patted her friend's arm. "Chengzhi will be angry if he hears."
"Okay, I won't tell you..."
…
After Xie Chengzhi and Luo Rui left, Jiang Ran walked around the dilapidated cabin, opened the door and went outside.
The place where they settled was a three-story residential building, and the small, dilapidated house where she lived was a warehouse used to store miscellaneous items at the back of the yard.
The moment he opened the door, the cold wind of early winter blew in his face, and his clothes, wet by the lake water, stuck tightly to his body. Jiang Ran shivered and forced himself to walk out of the shabby house.
If she remembered correctly, Jiang Ranran fell into the water at the time when their team met the villain boss's team - it was at this time in the novel that Jiang Ranran was targeted by the villain boss and began her even more tragic life.
