Chapter 05
Wen Jiuze spoke in a low and gentle voice, seeming very gentle.
Hearing this, Xue Ling fell into deep thought.
She was thinking about a question - why did Wen Jiuze act like he loved her so much?
If she remembered correctly, in the more than one year from the time they met, became boyfriend and girlfriend, and then broke up, the things this man did most often were either to make her angry or to make her jump to her feet.
Every cell in his body is filled with meanness and bad taste.
He always had a smiling face and seemed casual about everything, so she always thought that her girlfriend was also casual.
Because he had never confessed his love to her, and he was the one who broke up with her first, and it was not a pleasant experience.
She was so angry that she threw the milk tea on his head, but he wiped the milk tea off his face without caring, shrugged lazily, waved his hand and left.
He didn't care about her and didn't have any deep feelings for her.
Xue Ling has always felt this way.
But why could he recognize her at a glance after not seeing her for three years, why did he insist on keeping her by his side even after seeing her turned into a zombie, why didn't he care about her zombie appearance at all and still hugged her intimately, why did he seem to miss her and cherish her very much?
He even abandoned his cousin and the human convoy, choosing to leave alone with her and a dangerous zombie. Anyone who saw this and didn't say a word would be crazy.
Xue Ling thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out what this person was thinking.
It was like this in the past. She could never guess what Wen Jiuze was thinking. But he saw through her after just a short while of knowing her, and he had a natural talent for deliberately making her angry.
Xue Ling thought for a long time and couldn't help wondering if she had lost her memory.
But when she thought carefully about the past, she found that her mind was clear, her memory was not blurred, and she had not missed anything. Instead, she relived Wen Jiuzhe's past "bad deeds" and "numerous evil deeds".
...You really shouldn't have a psychopathic boyfriend too early in your life, otherwise you will remember him for the rest of your life and won't be able to forget him even if you want to, just like Xue Ling.
In the gaps between thinking and self-doubt, Xue Ling did not forget to maintain his zombie settings. He roared from time to time, scratched the seat cushion and the seat belt on his body, and pulled the car windows and doors.
The damn Wen Jiuze treated the noise she made as a white noise station, humming a song while listening to her movements while driving, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel to match the creaking sound of Xue Ling scratching the back of the chair, which was quite rhythmic.
Xue Ling: Am I entertaining you?
Wen Jiuze seems to be very good at entertaining himself now.
He said: "Let's find a place to take a shower. The tap water has been cut off. However, some people live in remote areas and do not use tap water, but well water at home. They can still use it now."
"Can you take a cold shower? Oh, no, there's nothing I can do. There's no hot water for you to take a shower now. The weather is so hot, so taking a cold shower won't be too cold, right?"
He made his own decision and didn't need Xue Ling's answer.
Xue Ling raised her foot and kicked his seat hard, making a loud thumping sound. He bounced up and down in the driver's seat and seemed quite happy. He nodded and said, "Oh, as long as you agree."
They didn't go too far away, still in a town on the outskirts of Anxi.
Xue Ling was locked in the car again. She saw from the window that Wen Jiuze got out of the car to find a place to take a shower.
His movements were very skillful. Whether he was exploring abandoned houses, dodging zombie sieges, or killing them one by one, he was quick and efficient.
Xue Ling discovered that he was not only not afraid of her familiar zombie, but also not afraid of other unfamiliar zombies. He was almost attacked by a ferocious zombie, but he was able to cut the zombie's neck with a knife without changing his expression.
He had a gun on his waist, but he didn't move it at all and only used the short knife.
Xue Ling has seen many people kill zombies, and almost all of them prefer to use longer weapons to keep a distance from the zombies.
But Wen Jiuze was different. He used a short knife, which was only as long as his arm. Every time he reached out to cut off the zombie's head, he was thrilled and felt that he was almost going to be bitten.
Even Xue Ling was nervous.
Wen Jiuze observed the layout of the houses on this street, looking for those with yards and possibly wells, and those that were not damaged, and went in to take a look.
He broke open the locked door, went in and wandered around, sometimes holding a zombie body in his hands, sometimes holding other things.
"Look, this skirt is pretty, isn't it? I'll wash it and let you wear it later."
He held up a floral dress printed with sunflowers and opened the car window to show it to her.
Xue Ling never had any expectations of Wen Jiuze's aesthetic taste. The ugliest skirt in her closet was bought by him, and Xue Ling couldn't even wear it out.
"I found a few unopened boxes of skin care products. I remember you used this brand before. I'll give them to you later."
He threw several more boxes of skin care products and cosmetics into the car.
Xue Ling was puzzled: I am a zombie, but I still take care of my skin... Should I praise you for being considerate?
"Don't worry, I checked and it's not expired yet." The considerate ex-boyfriend sighed and wondered: "How can this cosmetic have such a long shelf life? It's been three years and it hasn't expired yet."
Clothes, skirts, skin care products, towels, soaps, shampoos, it would have been fine if he had just thrown those things that were still usable into the car, but he also threw an Elizabeth circle into the car. What does that mean?
This thing is usually wrapped around the neck of cats and dogs to prevent them from licking wounds.
If you want to give it to her, go to hell!
Wen Jiuze searched two streets very pickily, but couldn't find a bathing place that suited his taste.
Finally I found it on the third street.
He walked out of the front door of the house, strode over and opened the car door, and said with a smile, "There is water in the bathroom here, and it's quite clean. Come down quickly."
Xue Ling didn't want to go down, so he dragged her down.
He put one arm across Xue Ling's chest and pulled her back from behind. Xue Ling grabbed the backrests on both sides with both hands, and her sharp nails scratched several cuts on the leather.
But Wen Jiuze was too strong, and he managed to pull her down steadily without her feet touching the ground. His other hand was still able to pick up the bag filled with various sundries.
"Okay, okay, you are a zombie, not a cat, how can you be afraid of taking a bath?" Wen Jiuze advised.
She is not afraid of taking a bath, she just doesn't want Wen Jiuze to help her take a bath!
They had been boyfriend and girlfriend for a year, and Wen Jiuze was...sexy and charming, so of course they had done some intimate exercises, but helping each other take a bath was really awkward.
However, zombies have no human rights, and Wen Jiuze has no humanity, so Xue Ling was still taken into the bathroom.
This place had been briefly cleaned by Wen Jiuze, and the ground was covered with water stains.
Seeing Wen Jiuze holding the Elizabeth ring in one hand, Xue Ling attacked him madly with a headbutt, telling him with this violent action that she would never wear it!
"Okay, okay, I won't wear it. Hiss, your head is so hard."
He threw away the Elizabeth ring, tied one of Xue Ling's hands to the auxiliary rod next to the toilet in the bathroom, and pressed her to sit on the toilet. He took out a pair of nail clippers, grabbed her other hand and cut her nails.
The zombie's nails were black, sharp, shiny, and very hard. Wen Jiuze bent down to trim her nails, making them smooth and round.
Although Xue Ling herself had wanted to have her nails trimmed for a long time, she was still very angry and did not cooperate much during the process. She would often unexpectedly move forward and pretend to bite Wen Jiuze in front of her.
Wen Jiuze seemed to have eyes on his forehead. He stretched out his legs and the small stool with wheels on which he was sitting slid him away, just out of Xue Ling's biting range.
Despite Xue Ling's harassment, Wen Jiuze still efficiently finished repairing one of her hands.
He held her hand and looked at it for a moment.
The skin on a zombie's hand is bluish-white, and the blood vessels are more obvious than those on humans, appearing a dark red color and forming a network on the back of the hand. The skin is slightly tightened and dry.
Xue Ling thought that it was because he paid attention to maintenance, so he did not die as quickly as other zombies. He looked like he had just died, just a little thinner.
Wen Jiuze's hands, which were two sizes larger than hers, gently rubbed the back of her hands, sharing the warmth in his palms with her.
"Okay, let's change to the other hand." He was silent for a moment, then spoke in a light tone.
Xue Ling didn't make much trouble in the second half. Finally, when he got up to clean the bathroom, Xue Ling looked at her hands carefully and was very satisfied.
She previously felt that her nails were too long and inconvenient, so she tried to trim them. However, zombies have stiff joints and her fingers couldn't bend flexibly, so she had to nibble on them, which made her nails even uglier with pits and grooves.
The cool water from the shower head splashed onto the white tiles.
Xue Ling wore the pants for a long time, and the long sleeves, which had turned gray and black, were torn into rags and thrown aside.
She was pressed onto a small stool under the shower, and water flowed over her blue and emaciated back.
Xue Ling curled up, too embarrassed to look up.
Wen Jiuze sat behind her and asked curiously, "Are zombies afraid of water?"
Otherwise, why was it so noisy just now, but now refuses to move after being drenched in water?
It's better not to move, so he doesn't have to tie her up... Wen Jiuze doesn't really want to tie Xue Ling up all the time.
I lathered the mint-scented shower gel on my head. It felt pretty good to have my hair rubbed.
Xue Ling rested her chin on her knees and squinted her eyes to prevent the water from flowing into her eyes.
The hand on her head pinched her scalp, kneading and scratching it inch by inch.
Xue Ling felt his fingers groping somewhere on the back of her head for a long time.
"Why does it feel like the back of your head is a little round and not as round as before?" Wen Jiuze asked puzzledly.
Of course, he didn't expect a zombie to answer him, so he carefully touched it for a while and joked, "Could it be that you have been attacking people with your head and flattened the back of your head?"
Xue Ling reacted to the sound of water for a while.
Ah, is the back of your head flat?
It might have been the time three years ago. She had just become a zombie and found that she could still think, unlike other zombies, so she panicked.
She wanted to go to her uncle's house to find her cousin and her family. Her mother and stepfather happened to be there, and they were scared when they saw her.
She was hit on the back of her head with a stick... At that time she thought that her head might have been flattened, but she touched it several times and didn't feel any difference.
It turns out that he was really beaten flat, haha.
...How did Wen Jiuze figure it out so quickly?
Xue Ling recalled that he seemed to like touching the back of her head in the past. Sometimes when they were walking on the street, he would suddenly raise his hand and press the back of her head to push her forward.
As soon as she woke up in the morning and turned over, his big hand rushed to the back of her head, and Xue Ling was woken up by him in an instant.
She angrily asked him why he kept scratching the back of her head, and he smiled and said, "The back of your head is particularly round, it's funny."
Nerve!
