Chapter Thirty-Five: I Like You
"Mom, I'll go deliver it to them!"
Before the girl could finish speaking, she had already run towards the rocks, her coarse cloth skirt fluttering in the mountain wind.
Josie sat on the rock, a common sight in the apocalypse.
Even in the most remote and isolated mountains, if zombies stray into the area, they can turn the survivors' sanctuary into a living hell.
Just as she was about to ask Lu Yuyang for the ice crystal, she heard a strange girl's voice.
"Brother, my mom asked me to bring these over. Thank you for saving us earlier."
She subconsciously turned her head to look over. Although the girl was born in the mountains, she had a very charming appearance and was looking at Feng Ye with admiration.
Feng Ye took the basket without hesitation. "Thanks."
Seeing that he had accepted the gifts, the girl happily continued, "Brother, you came down from the mountain. What's the situation down there now?"
"Zombies are everywhere; it's a living hell."
The girl seemed startled, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.
"Is it that scary? But you're so powerful, even zombies can't do anything to you..."
Her eyes seemed to sparkle like stars.
For some reason, Josie suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Men probably all like this kind of innocent and naive girl who only has eyes for them.
Perhaps it was her intense gaze that made Feng Ye suddenly look up and glance in her direction.
Josie's heart skipped a beat, but she subtly turned her gaze away.
Feng Ye, whose face was usually stern, suddenly smiled.
Josie was holding a basin when, without noticing, ice crystals landed on the back of her hand.
The icy sensation made her hands tremble.
The next moment, my hand was tightly grasped by a large hand.
Qiao Xi looked up at Lu Yuyang, who was standing right in front of her.
But a deep, unfathomable emotion was surging in those gentle eyes.
"What's wrong?"
What were you thinking when you looked at him just now?
Lu Yuyang's voice was somewhat deep, and there was a hint of frustration in it.
He had no experience pursuing girls, and he didn't know how to win her heart.
He originally thought he could cultivate feelings for her slowly by taking meticulous care of her and protecting her.
But now... he realizes it won't work.
Fengye is a formidable opponent.
If he doesn't make things clear, Feng Ye might get there first.
"I wasn't thinking anything."
Josie smiled at him, picked up the folding basin, and tried to turn around and go behind the rocks.
But to everyone's surprise, Lu Yuyang spoke first, "Qiao Xi, I have something I want to tell you. Come with me for a moment."
"good,"
Qiao Xi followed behind him, and soon disappeared from Feng Ye's sight along with Lu Yuyang.
The smile on Feng Ye's face vanished as quickly as it appeared.
The girl next to him was still saying something, but Feng Ye wouldn't listen to a single bad word.
Without turning his head, he said to her, "If you want to know, you can go down the mountain and see for yourself."
The girl's face turned pale. If the world doesn't return to normal, she will never come down the mountain in her life!
Behind the rock, Lu Yuyang stared at Qiao Xi's smiling face and sighed.
"Josh, I like you."
He's always been like this; if he wants something, he'll bravely take the first step and put it into action.
Failure is not a problem; he can learn from the experience and try again.
Although he rarely failed when doing other things, he was always very confident.
But now he's facing Josie, and... his emotional achievements score is zero.
Josie was caught off guard by his direct approach and thought she had misheard.
"What did you say? You like...me?"
Lu Yuyang, who had been a little nervous, relaxed and smiled when he saw her bewildered expression. "Yes, I like you. I knew it the moment I found you."
He felt an unprecedented anxiety while searching for her.
But the moment I saw her, all of that turned into joy.
Knowing that she might be with another man, he tasted jealousy for the first time in his life.
Josie looked at him with complicated emotions; it wasn't that she hadn't been confessed to before.
But she was naturally drawn to men who were clean-cut and had the air of academic geniuses.
After breaking up with Xu Linchuan, she said she would never easily trust any man again.
Lu Yuyang disregarded his own safety and rushed into the zombie-infested city to search for her.
This incident moved her, but it wasn't enough to make her want to be with him.
"You don't have to force yourself to agree, but I will wait for you. The world has become like this, and no one knows what tomorrow will bring, so I want to live in the present."
Josie was certain that she had feelings for Lu Yuyang, but she felt that she couldn't bear a sincere relationship.
As she hesitated about how to respond to Lu Yuyang, a voice came from beside her, "What are you talking about... Do you need to hide here?"
As soon as Qiao Xi turned around, she saw Feng Ye leaning against the rock with his arms crossed, his eyes sweeping over her coldly.
His gaze lingered on her for only a moment before meeting Lu Yuyang's eyes.
His features were particularly sharp in the twilight, and a certain emotion was hidden in the shadows cast by his eyelashes.
"Nothing, what brings you here? Has that little girl left?"
Before Feng Ye could answer, a loud "boom" suddenly came from above.
"It's going to rain!" Zhao Wenjing's voice rang out from outside.
Josie didn't care about anything else and turned to walk outside. "Judging from this, the rain must be heavy. We need to find a place to take shelter."
As the three emerged from behind the rocks, two men came down from above. "It's going to rain soon! This place won't shelter you from the rain. You should go take shelter in the cave."
Lu Yuyang had already walked up to them and nodded, "Thank you very much. We do need a place to take shelter from the rain."
"You're welcome. You saved us too. Let's go quickly, the rain is about to start."
When the two men saw that there was an elderly person with them, they immediately stepped forward to help support them.
Qiao Xi was about to go forward when Feng Ye grabbed her wrist.
Josie turned to look at him in surprise. "What's wrong?"
"Were you just about to say yes to him?"
Josie was surprised that he had heard everything. "No."
After hearing this, Feng Ye's agitated heart seemed to be soothed a little.
He then released her hand, but the soft, delicate touch lingered on his fingertips, just like in his memory.
"But...whether it's there or not is none of your business, right?"
Josie glanced at him lazily.
Feng Ye chuckled, "Qiao Xi, you provoked me first."
"What?" Josie looked at him, somewhat puzzled.
She did indeed accidentally fall into his room and then had some interaction with him.
But when it comes to provoking her, she always keeps her distance.
Except for that one time he was hypnotized.
But he wasn't conscious at all then, so he probably didn't know, right?
With this hope in mind, Qiao Xi stubbornly refused to look at her again, but quickened her pace and soon caught up with Lu Yuyang ahead.
Feng Ye's gaze followed her the whole time.
He'll settle the accounts with her sooner or later!
