Chapter 43, Where to Place
After eating a rabbit leg, Jiang Ran was already 80% full. The girl looked at the remaining half of the rabbit, not knowing what to do with it.
She couldn't eat any more, but she couldn't just throw it away - she couldn't do such a waste of food.
Noticing the girl's small movements of looking around, Si Xu asked her: "What's wrong?"
"I..." Jiang Ran frowned helplessly, "I can't eat anymore."
"Oh." Glancing at the remaining rabbit meat in her hand, Si Xu pulled her wrist and took a bite from her hand. "Hmm, a bit greasy."
Although he said this, he still finished half the rabbit in a few moves.
Jiang Ran: "..." He ate up the rabbit meat she had left behind... She had never had a boyfriend, but even in Jiang Ranran's memory, Xie Chengzhi had never eaten anything she had left behind, even if it was ice cream, once she had taken a bite, Xie Chengzhi would never touch it.
Si Xu…isn't he a germaphobe? Every time they arrived at a new place, he would take out new sheets from his space and ask her to change into them before he would go to bed.
But he ate half of the rabbit.
Jiang Ran didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment. She only knew that her cheeks were starting to feel hot again.
"Ranran, why is your face red?" Gu Yunqing, who had noticed the two people's little movements, took the opportunity to tease her, "This is so passionate, isn't it hot?"
Su Qin also noticed Si Xu's actions. She nudged Gu Yunqing with her elbow and cursed in a low voice: "You're the one who talks too much. Be careful, or Brother Qi will twist you into a dough!"
As soon as the topic of twisting twisted dough was brought up, Gu Yunqing indeed shut up.
After being teased by him, Jiang Ran calmed down.
She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Si Xu, asking him to wipe his hands: "Are you feeling sick? Do you want some water?"
As he said that, he handed him the mineral water in his hand.
Si Xu slowly wiped his hands, took the mineral water and drank two sips, then threw the empty bottle into the fire. He pulled Jiang Ran up and said, "Are you full? Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Jiang Ran, who was feeling a bit full, was very satisfied with the suggestion: "Okay."
After wrapping the shawl around the girl, Si Xu took her out.
"Those two...why do they always choose to go out for a walk at night?" After they left the warehouse, Gu Yunqing said with a smile, "Tell me, is Seventh Brother..."
It was easy to imagine what was going on in this guy's mind. Su Qin pinched the flesh on his waist and twisted it gently: "What is it?"
"Ouch." The girl's touch was like a tickle, but Gu Yunqing took the opportunity to lean into her arms, "You are so reckless, it hurts so much, please help me rub it~"
Su Qin continued to pinch him: "Pay attention to your captain's dignity! You have no shame, but I still have some!"
"I already have a wife, so why do I need dignity?" Gu Yunqing stayed in her arms and refused to move. "Rub it for me, or I'll get up..."
The boss started to act like a spoiled brat again. Song Rong felt that it was too much to bear, so he decisively found an excuse to evacuate with his team, leaving the bonfire to the two young lovers.
"Look! Brother Song will definitely laugh at you!" The team members' tacit laughter made Su Qin's face flush. She patted Gu Yunqing's face as if to vent her anger, "You've ruined your image as a captain!"
"What image do you want..." Feeling that his girlfriend's expression of anger was too cute, Gu Yunqing fearlessly raised his hand to hold the back of her head, raised his head and kissed her lips, "Good girl~"
Su Qin: "Hmm..." This guy, has he learned to launch surprise attacks? After he finishes kissing her, she will definitely beat him to death.
…
Outside the warehouse was a wide road. The two walked along the flat road, occasionally encountering wandering zombies, all of which were chopped off the head by the space blade thrown by Si Xu.
The weather in winter is changeable. When they set out, the moon was bright in the sky. But not long after they left, the moon was covered by thick clouds and the view suddenly became dark.
Not used to the dim light, Jiang Ran held Si Xu's hand tightly and looked around.
There is a dense forest on one side of the road and sparse houses on the other side. Because it is in the suburbs, the population is not dense and there are not many zombies.
However, every few steps you can hear the howling of mutant beasts. They must be the mutant animals that used to live in the dense forest.
"Jiang Ran."
Noticing the little girl's distraction, Si Xu slowed down his pace, "What are you thinking about?"
"I wonder if any of the residents here managed to escape to the base and save their lives."
"If he has awakened his superpowers, it's not impossible." Si Xu said, and suddenly stopped.
Jiang Ran stopped and saw the man squinting his eyes and looking in one direction. He didn't know what he saw, but he frowned slightly and his eyes turned cold.
"Si Xu?" Jiang Ran couldn't see anything, but that didn't stop her from sensing the murderous intent rising from the young man. "What's wrong?"
"Jiang Ran, no matter what you hear later, don't say anything."
Jiang Ran nodded in response, and out of the corner of his eye he saw several figures coming towards the end of the road, accompanied by the sound of the wind.
Is it a human? Or a mutant zombie?
Jiang Ran stared with wide eyes at the shadow that appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, not daring to say a word.
"Huh? Isn't this Professor Si?"
It seemed that they didn't expect that there would be someone here. The shadows braked quickly and landed lightly in front of the two men.
The leading man wore a long, lake-green uniform that accentuated his broad shoulders and long legs. The uniform was simple, with only the belt and a pattern of an eagle with outstretched wings embroidered on the right shoulder.
Behind him were three men and one woman, all wearing the same uniform. The difference was that they had guns on their belts.
"Professor Si, we meet here? We're destined to meet." The man greeted Si Xu familiarly, his eyes quickly drawn to Jiang Ran in Si Xu's arms, "Hey, this girl is..."
Si Xu remained silent and did not respond immediately.
The man looked at Jiang Ran, took off his black gloves, and extended his hand: "Hello, sister, my name is Pei Xiao, and I'm Professor Si's..." He paused, "friend."
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but when the man said the word "friend", Jiang Ran always felt that there was a hint of disgust in his tone.
Si Xu didn't say anything. Jiang Ran didn't know the identities of the people opposite him, so he could only reach out and shake the young man's hand: "Hello."
She did not say her name, nor did she respond to questions about her relationship with Si Xu.
Noticing the girl's reservedness, Pei Xiao smiled. "The last time I saw Professor Si, he was alone. I wonder what your relationship is with Professor Si?"
"I……"
"It has nothing to do with you." Si Xu replied coldly, hugged Jiang Ran and turned to leave.
"Professor Si is so nervous, could it be... this girl is your new toy?" The young man still had a smile on his face, but his tone was much colder. "I haven't seen you for half a year, Si Xu, and your hobbies are still so disgusting."
Does this person have a grudge against Si Xu?
If it was just a suspicion just now, Jiang Ran was now certain: she was not wrong, this person hated Si Xu, but he dared to talk to Si Xu like this... This was the first time she had encountered this since she met Si Xu.
Based on her understanding of Si Xu, she was afraid that this man would end up in a miserable state.
"It has nothing to do with you." To Jiang Ran's surprise, Si Xu only replied with four words and did not pursue the man's rude words.
"It seems I guessed right." Pei Xiao smiled coldly, "Si Xu, since I've encountered this, I must intervene..."
"What do you care?" Si Xu smiled softly, not taking the man's threat seriously. "You mean, you want to fight me?"
As Si Xu finished speaking, the four people behind Pei Xiao all drew their guns and pointed them at him.
"Use a gun?" Si Xu said calmly, "Pei Xiao, are you going to let your men die in vain for your personal grudge?"
"Haha, it seems you are very confident." A cold light condensed from Pei Xiao's fingertips, forming a sharp blade.
He is a gold-type mutant.
Jiang Ran looked at the people behind him again.
Although they were holding guns, the speed at which those people approached them just now clearly showed that they were also people with special abilities.
"Si Xu, hand this girl over to us, and we'll let you go." Pei Xiao said coldly, "Otherwise, there will be no choice but to fight."
Si Xu looked at him coldly, pulled Jiang Ran behind him with one hand, and said lightly: "No one can take my things away casually."
There was already clear murderous intent in his tone.
Undeterred by the man's murderous aura, Pei Xiao glanced at Jiang Ran and smiled gently: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine soon."
Jiang Ran: "..." Wait, did this person misunderstand something?
Before she could figure out what was going on, the man opposite her sternly shouted, "Kill Si Xu, don't hurt the girl."
"yes!"
Jiang Ran: "Wait!"
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Jiang Ran forgot Si Xu's warning and quickly stood in front of Si Xu, shouting: "Wait for me!"
It was unclear what grudge this man had with Si Xu, but she knew that he misunderstood Si Xu now - he thought that she was forced to stay with Si Xu, and that Si Xu had some weird hobbies.
There is a very simple way to resolve this misunderstanding.
"Si Xu is my boyfriend!" Jiang Ran glared at the man opposite and said fiercely, "You are not allowed to bully him!"
Pei Xiao: "......?"
As the girl stood in front of him, the space blade at Si Xu's fingertips suddenly disappeared. He lowered his eyes and looked at the fragile little body in front of him, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
Hearing Jiang Ran's words, the people on the opposite side showed expressions of disbelief.
What did this girl say? She said Si Xu is her boyfriend?
Boyfriend... that's what they all understand, right?
Knowing where the feud between their captain and Si Xu came from, the four of them looked at their captain with more caution.
Oh my god, Professor Si has a girlfriend? The captain...I'm afraid he'll be even more furious.
"You said, he is your boyfriend?" Pei Xiao almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Jiang Ran met his gaze without fear: "Yes!"
The man fell into a strange silence. The expression on Leng Yi's face gradually twisted, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Jiang Ran: “Huh?” I thought everything would be fine after explaining the misunderstanding, but why did this person seem even angrier?
"Si Xu!" With a roar, the man's figure instantly approached, swinging his knife at Si Xu and slashing, "You bastard! Where do you want Wan'er!"
To protect Jiang Ran, Si Xu raised his hand to block.
The collision of the Tang sword and the sharp blade made a crisp sound. Jiang Ran subconsciously closed his eyes, and the name he had just heard echoed in his ears.
Wan'er.
She was not unfamiliar with the name.
Su Qin said that Si Xu’s little fangirl was killed by Shen Yang and the Yu family.
Pei Wan'er and Pei Xiao, are they siblings?
