Chapter 49 Feelings That Should Not Exist
"Zhu Ci, can you talk to me?" A Yang moved behind Zhu Ci and rested her head on his shoulder.
Zhu Ci didn't even turn his head and asked, "What do you say?"
"Look, Xu Zhiyang is an ungrateful person. He treats you badly and he hates you, but I like you! Let's date!"
Li Huiyin was drinking water and spat it all out when she heard this.
"Are you fucking crazy?" Li Huiyin hurriedly pulled Ayang's collar.
Ah Yang didn't think anything was wrong and said confidently, "What's wrong? Can't I have a relationship? Zhu Ci is the only good-looking guy here! And Xu Zhiyang hates him, which is perfect!"
Zhu Ci's heart was pounding, especially when A Yang said this in front of Xu Zhiyang, he actually... felt a little panicked.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Ci suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said coldly, "Let's not talk about it."
"Why? Am I not good-looking?" Ah Yang tugged at the hem of her clothes and rubbed her face. "Although Xu Zhiyang is annoying, he is quite good-looking."
"This isn't a question of whether it looks good or not." Zhu Ci turned around and placed his finger on Ah Yang's forehead, forcing him to look at him. "You have this idea just because you want to go against Xu Zhiyang, right?"
Ah Yang coughed and said, "No, I just want to be with a handsome guy!"
Zhu Ci lowered his eyes and looked at him coldly, "I can't be with you. I don't like men."
The people watching the excitement were all stunned. Li Huiyin was a little angry and quickly put her arm around Ayang's shoulders. "Be good, he has no taste. Can I help you find a guy you like in the future?"
Ah Yang was stunned for a long time before muttering, "But... you're so good to Xu Zhiyang..."
"Because he called me brother, I will protect him all the way to the capital. This kind of kindness is just friendship."
Zhu Ci's words shattered all his fantasies, and Li Huiyin was extremely grateful that the personality occupying her body was not Xu Zhiyang.
Mu Ke couldn't help but speak up to smooth things over: "Mr. Ayang, the relationship between people should be based on mutual affection. If you really like someone, there should be no other considerations. For example, you want to use Zhuci to oppose Xu Zhiyang."
Ah Yang suddenly felt an indescribable sense of grievance and sadness, with red mist filling the corners of his eyes. He glared at Zhu Ci like a little child.
"Forget it! You'll regret it sooner or later! You can ignore me now! You won't be able to reach me in the future!"
After saying those harsh words, Ayang closed his eyes and lay down on Momo's back.
Congratulations: "..."
Li Huiyin thought Ayang had fainted from anger, and she was so scared that she quickly crawled over and pinched his face.
"Xu Xiaoyang!"
After a moment, Xu Zhiyang slowly opened his eyes, his pupils were the familiar brown color, "What's wrong?" He raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
"Has Ah Yang gotten into trouble again?"
Li Huiyin scratched her head: "Not really... I just said some things... I shouldn't have said."
Xu Zhiyang raised an eyebrow, and the small mole at the end of her eyelid moved. "What did you say?"
"He said he wanted to date me." Zhu Ci suddenly spoke.
Xu Zhiyang was stunned for half a second, then reacted very quickly and sneered, "Don't pay attention to him, childish guy."
Zhu Ci looked at Xu Zhiyang across several people, but saw that he was also looking at him without any hesitation. His clear brown eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past, but were dark and gloomy.
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment. Mu Ke coughed lightly and moved back, withdrawing from the awkward circle.
Xu Zhiyang was the first to look away, then sat next to Qin Shiyu and asked, "When can we leave Chongqing?"
"Soon, but not today. Maybe tomorrow."
Qin Shiyu picked up the telescope and observed the distance. "I found that the vegetation in the distance was so lush that I couldn't see the road. Even the eye-catching buildings were blocked."
Xu Zhiyang took the telescope and observed for a while, but found nothing unusual. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Last time, I heard Wang Xiangcheng talk about the Hope Base in the Imperial Capital."
Xu Zhiyang said slowly, "From what he said, almost all the survivors in the Imperial Capital are at the Hope Base."
Qin Shiyu became interested: "Hope Base? It seems that the Imperial Capital is not safe, otherwise why would they build a base?"
Xu Zhiyang: "The imperial capital has a large population, so naturally there are many zombies. But I heard from Wang Xiangcheng that all kinds of supernatural beings are gathered there, including very important officials."
Hearing their conversation, Li Huiyin interrupted, "Xu Xiaoyang, is Brother Han an important national researcher?"
Xu Zhiyang nodded: "I think so. He must be fine. He is lucky."
Qin Shiyu asked in confusion: "Why is Brother Xu's surname Xu, but your brother's surname is Han?"
"Oh! I know that!" Li Huiyin put her arm on Xu Zhiyang's shoulder, "One of them takes their father's surname, and the other takes their mother's surname!"
"Yes." Xu Zhiyang nodded. "My mom thought I was a girl before she got pregnant with me. She and my dad both like girls, so they wanted me to take her last name. But I didn't expect it to be a boy."
Qin Shiyu understood, "So that's how it is."
Zhu Ci then reminded them, "It's getting dark, get ready to find a place to stay for the night."
"Brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest well tonight." Qin Shiyu handed him the telescope, "Look."
Momo slowly stopped without receiving any orders from his master.
Zhu Ci looked towards the city in the distance and saw that every tree was towering into the sky, blocking all the buildings and making it almost impossible to see what the streets looked like.
Xu Zhiyang: "But it's not practical to spend the night here. There's no shelter, it's not safe."
Mu Ke agreed: "I think Brother Xu is right."
"Brother Mu, just call me Zhiyang. There's no need to be so formal." Xu Zhiyang turned around and smiled at him.
Mu Ke paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Zhuci's fists hardened silently.
…
"After this, it's Hubei Province."
Several people got off Momo because Xu Zhiyang felt more and more uneasy when he stepped into the city.
It would be better for everyone to go downstairs so that if there really is anything, they can take action in time.
Xu Zhiyang took out a crossbow that had not been used for a long time from his backpack. When he saw the gun with Zhu Ci's name engraved on it in the backpack, his heart suddenly felt like it was pricked by a needle.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Zhiyang rubbed his nose, took out the gun and handed it over: "Your gun."
Zhu Ci's eyes flickered slightly, "I've given it to you."
"I don't need it, and this gun should be very important to you." Xu Zhiyang took Zhu Ci's hand and placed the gun in his palm.
Zhu Ci stared at the young man in front of him, feeling that Xu Zhiyang was distancing himself from him.
"Xu Xiaoyang! Hurry up!" Li Huiyin urged from the front.
"Coming." Xu Zhiyang responded, and pulled the hand that was originally covering Zhu Ci's hand away, "Let's go."
Xu Zhiyang felt that the worst thing she had done was to go on the road with Zhu Ci, and she also had thoughts about him that she shouldn't have.
So much so that now when they get along, Xu Zhiyang just feels awkward and wants to escape, preferably stay away from them. Who knows, maybe in a month or two he won't have this idea anymore.
Li Huiyin put her arm around Xu Zhiyang's shoulders comfortingly and patted him gently, "Let's go, I'm here for you."
"Yeah." Xu Zhiyang shifted his gaze and glanced at the streets here. Scrapped cars were piled up together, and towering trees blocked the sunlight, shrouding the buildings in shadows.
It's like a ghost town here.
