Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Use force
Something in his palm struggled to break free from his control.
It was Jiang Si's hand.
Like sand that he could have grasped tightly, but ultimately slipped through his fingers...
From the moment he saw the zombie pheromone jar of Lingyue Biology appear, Xiao Liang knew that the secret buried deep in his heart and his feelings for her could no longer be concealed.
Even if what prompted him to do such a bad thing was his strong possessiveness of her, it was the sense of security that she had always been striving to pursue.
But no one would be willing to accept that it exists in this way.
cheat.
Jiang Si's eyes trembled, and under her eyelashes wet by the mist, the face of the man in front of her became blurry and unfamiliar.
If Xiao Liang placed the canister under her car as he did, in order to attract her attention through the zombies and make her feel that he could be her support in the apocalypse,
So, as for Xiao Liang, this man, it was clear that she had it within her reach from the very beginning—
Why does this road have to be so difficult for her?
For the past few days, she had approached him with hope and pleading, but received no response; she had tried to grasp from his actions every time the hope that he might actually have feelings for her; she had felt shy and uneasy about his direct seductions, or the fear that her actions would make him mistakenly think she was seducing...
All at this moment, she became a complete joke.
How did Xiao Liang feel when he saw her doing these things, seeing her emotions being affected by him, her moods fluctuating, and being toyed with by him?
Jiang Si didn’t know, and she no longer wanted to know.
After the anger subsided, all that remained in her heart was endless sadness.
She felt that she had never been so clear-headed and calm as she was now.
"You go."
Lightly, like a puppet without a soul.
When Jiang Si lowered her eyes, a hot tear fell from her eye socket and hit the ground.
She said, "you," not us.
Xiao Liang, go by yourself.
For the first and only time, she pushed away the man whom she had never wanted to leave.
but--
"I want to be with you."
Xiao Liang's Adam's apple rolled and his voice became hoarse.
And Jiang Qian, reflected in the dark pupils, collapsed at this moment.
Tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
At the same time, Jiang Qian felt as if something suddenly penetrated her body, tearing her bones and blood, and gripping her heart.
She felt so much pain.
She originally thought that after seeing Xiao Liang's true face, she would simply draw a line between herself and him.
But when that moment really came, she also realized the price that had to be paid for what she was about to do.
Cut out the heart.
Yes, she couldn't deny it, even though she knew Xiao Liang was lying to her. He had done something to hurt her for his own selfish desires...
He was playing tricks on her from beginning to end.
But she still cowardly lingered on the man in front of her.
Now, the antidote that can stop her heart from aching immediately is right before her eyes.
Xiao Liang extended his hand towards her.
The knot in the heart is untied, and the secret that cannot be told turns to dust.
If Jiang Ying is willing to give him another chance, then everything can start over again.
They like each other and don't want to be separated from each other.
How come it's not possible?
If Jiang Qian put her hand back into Xiao Liang's palm, it would mean a new beginning.
With Xiao Liang around, she will never have to worry again, and she can live well in this doomsday.
At least, much better than ordinary people.
She can also return to her hometown and do many things that seem impossible, even protecting her family and friends.
A future that would achieve the best outcome in the worst possible world, one she could easily grasp.
Do I really have to give up?
Jiang Xi's heart was tormented and unbearable.
Yes, he liked her... He did that because he liked her so much.
Everyone expresses emotions differently.
Xiao Liang's... this is just a little thrilling.
However, if he had not descended from the sky in the crisis and perfectly protected her from harm.
How could I fall so deeply in love with him?
He is really awesome.
It is human nature to admire the strong. This is true even in times of peace and prosperity, let alone in a zombie apocalypse.
Jiang Qian had no resistance at all to a man like Xiao Liang.
Now, she is only a little bit away from completely forgiving Xiao Liang and accepting him again.
"Mmmmm--meow?"
The gentle meow represents the kitten's doubts.
Jiang Yongzhuang, who was originally lying on the roof of the car like a hen, waited with his eyes wide open for a long time.
This posture means that it will not be maintained for too long, and everyone will probably be able to set off soon.
But, after so much time, why hasn’t the owner come out yet?
What are you all hesitating about, meow?
It simply jumped off the car with two bangs.
The little paws stomped on the wooden floor and walked all the way to the front.
The person closest to the door was Xiao Liang.
At his feet, Jiang Yongzhuang's pink little nose twitched. He sniffed first to confirm that the smell of this guy came from the man he "liked".
Then, he turned into a drunken cat, rubbing his head left and right like a spring to show affection.
Seeing Jiang Yongzhuang sticking to Xiao Liang, Jiang Qian was convinced.
Her little Mi also likes Xiao Liang very much!
Trust your feelings...
The heart that was bound by the throbbing pain in the chest was released.
His heart was pounding with excitement at the decision she had made.
Xiao Liang's gaze briefly shifted from Jiang Yongzhuang to Jiang Ting in front of him.
Jiang Xi wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve. Her eyes and nose were red. She looked at his outstretched hand with a gentle yet somewhat arrogant expression on her face.
He is too familiar with it.
She only shows this unguarded side in front of people close to her.
Xiao Liang held his breath, almost thinking that he was going to own the whole world again.
But fate is so fickle.
Just when Jiang Xi wanted to put her hand in his palm, a flash of confusion appeared in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Liang's hand did not feel the familiar touch.
It was the four-legged beast that felt it.
The claws flew into the air, scratched around randomly, and then landed in a soft and fragrant embrace.
Jiang Yongzhuang: "Meow?"
The situation took a turn for the worse.
Jiang Xi suddenly became a different person. She hugged Jiang Yongzhuang tightly in her arms, trembling all over.
His face, including his lips, were slightly pale.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Xi's huge transformation confused Xiao Liang.
"Don't come over here!"
As if frightened, Jiang Qian took several steps back, firmly keeping a distance from Xiao Liang who suddenly approached her.
The response paused,
Xiao Liang: "..."
"ah!"
She forgot that there was a sea of jars behind her, and one of them rolled particularly far. When Jiang Xi's heel touched the tilted cylinder, she lost her balance and almost fell.
However, a strong supporting force came from her back, steadying her.
Lu Suye: "Be careful."
There was no one behind her.
A bitter feeling welled up in Jiang Xi's heart. Lu Suye had always been there.
And she did not swallow the sudden and unspeakable pain, but expressed it noisily in another way.
"Meow!!" (Kill the cat!)
Jiang Yongzhuang screamed heart-wrenchingly.
The owner is holding it so tight and hard that he's almost strangled it into a sausage! Its eyes are rolled up, showing the whites of its eyes. It's about to conceive.
However, although his body was firmly controlled, he managed to break free with one claw.
The pink and white little claws never scratched anyone, but they dug at another man it had a crush on.
“Meow——!” (Save me!!) His eyes made it clear.
Lin Yuan received the signal first.
An all-round dad, always on call.
"Zhuangzhuang seems to want to pee? How about I take him there?"
Lin Yuan wanted to "snatch" Jiang Yongzhuang from Jiang Ying's arms without much hope, but he ended up handing over the cat without any effort.
The answer is self-evident, Jiang Xi trusts Lin Yuan.
But for the man whose head Jiang Yongzhuang had just rubbed affectionately, the word "trust" will never appear in her relationship with him again.
"What happened?"
There are no words to describe Xiao Liang's mood at the moment. It is no exaggeration to say that he has fallen from heaven to hell.
Jiang Xi was about to forgive him, but suddenly changed her mind and told him coldly that he was dreaming.
Why? Xiao Liang couldn't figure it out.
"We can't go back."
In an instant, Jiang Qian felt so tired, so tired that she had no extra energy to accept and digest everything from the man in front of her.
Jiang Yongzhuang, who couldn't wait to run back, became the last piece of the puzzle for her to forgive Xiao Liang.
At the moment the puzzle was completed, it was crushed to pieces by the cat's claws, making it impossible to repair it.
She remembered that it wasn't just once.
Yes, twice.
Maple Leaf District Liaison Station, that very strange and sudden zombie attack, what did he do during the blank time when Xiao Liang disappeared?
Oh, need I say more?
It's an old trick, very skillful.
Later, the zombies he attracted took away her cat.
If her love for him before was just out of self-protection out of extreme fear, then the moment he rescued Jiang Yongzhuang from the cat-eating pica zombie and handed him back to her, she was truly devoted to him.
Xiao Liang was very powerful, she had never doubted that.
But what if...
What if the zombie is so greedy that he can’t help but take it out and take a bite?
She couldn't imagine what kind of torture Jiang Yongzhuang would suffer, nor could she imagine how painful it would be if she lost her beloved cat.
You can plot against her, but she doesn't care.
But what if I use her cat's life as a bargaining chip to capture her.
There was no way she could accept that.
"Let's just pretend we never met."
Jiang Qian didn't want to be entangled with Xiao Liang anymore. While she was still not in love, she chose to forgive him even though she knew he was doing harm to her cat.
After all, a man, no matter how much he likes her, is still just a man.
Her kitten, however, is the most important thing in her life right now; the two cannot be compared.
She must protect it, and she is the only one in this world who can protect it.
In order to eliminate all possibilities of future uncertainty, Jiang Ying would not let such a thing happen to her kitten again.
She also doesn't want her weakness to become a bargaining chip for the other party to threaten her one day.
Let it all be over.
There was a resoluteness in Jiang Xi's eyes that she had never expressed.
Xiao Liang had never seen it.
A touch of human emotion, which he had not felt for who knows how long, crept up his spine again.
Like a dark cloud that won't dissipate, it envelops and shrouds the pervasive fear.
He was afraid of losing her and never coming back.
Although the reason for Jiang Qian's transformation is unknown, for a zombie hunter like Xiao Liang who has basically never encountered an opponent in all these years and is at the ceiling of his combat power, eliminating fear is not a difficult task at all.
The first person to see when clearing the obstacles was naturally Lu Suye.
After spending so many days together, this man never clearly demonstrated his special abilities. He just dealt with zombies by shooting them in the head like those mercenaries in the apocalyptic black market.
Others might think that he is just an ordinary person, at best a man who is slightly better than ordinary people.
But Xiao Liang had a vague idea of Lu Suye's special ability.
But so what? He wasn't afraid at all.
It was obvious that as long as he got rid of Lu Suye, he could take Jiang Qian away.
Whether she wants to or not.
Coincidentally, this is the last step in Lu Suye’s plan.
Get rid of Xiao Liang.
However, unless it is absolutely necessary and he is not absolutely sure, he will not choose to forcibly snatch someone from a zombie hunter.
What's more, the person who robbed him was someone who deeply liked that guy.
As a result, Lu Suye's series of plans achieved results even better than he had imagined, but the process was a bit ups and downs, which was a bit scary.
And it was the reversal of defeat at the end of this ups and downs game that made him so excited that he couldn't suppress the secret joy in his heart and almost laughed out loud.
The winner is happy and the loser is angry.
The icy-faced Xiao couldn't afford to play around, and he stopped pretending to be a profound master, looking as if he was about to take action.
How could he retreat?
The thick smell of gunpowder filled the stagnant air.
This battle seems to be unavoidable after all.
He calmly walked up to Jiang Xi and declared his sovereignty.
Xiao Liang's gloomy expression froze at this moment.
"I don't want to see you anymore. How many times do you want me to tell you?"
Jiang Xi's voice came from behind Lu Suye.
She was not at all unfamiliar with Xiao Liang, who had murderous intentions.
But now, the dispute over her not only failed to arouse her sense of security due to Xiao Liang's strong possessiveness towards her, but pushed her further away and made her more panicked.
Because she was really worried that she and her cat would fall into Xiao Liang's hands.
She had had enough of such a hot-and-cold, moody, and unpredictable man.
"Will you stop until I die in front of you?"
The cold light is dazzling and piercing.
The pupils that were shaken suddenly shrank.
But it was not because of the light that was difficult to look directly at, but because of the blade that emitted such a cold silver light, pressing against the snow-white neck.
And against the delicate skin of the neck, the weapon, which is sharp enough to cut iron like mud, only needs to be deflected a little bit to drink the blood of the beauty.
He gave her a black-gold dagger for self-defense, which she always carried close to her.
Now, it has become her most handy tool.
Jiang Xi threatened him with her own life, asking him to disappear from her sight and from her life immediately.
In this way, her shame, her shame, her troubles, will also cease to exist, as if they had never existed...
“Get out of here!!”
The trembling voice and the misty eyes again showed that Jiang Ying had not suppressed her emotions at all and was already showing signs of counterattack.
She knows herself too well.
In a little while, she was really afraid that she would continue to make excuses and couldn't help but forgive this bastard.
Then she would never be able to forgive herself.
"I promise you,"
a long time.
Xiao Liang looked at her seriously, this might be the last time they see each other.
"From now on, I will never appear in front of you again."
no sooner said than done.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Liang turned around and walked out of the hotel without any hesitation or nostalgia.
Disappeared from Jiang Xi's sight.
His right hand hung down limply, as if all his strength had just been used up.
She couldn't even stand steadily.
She avoided Lu Suye's concerned gaze and the hand that was about to support her limp body.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Xi walked towards her room in a daze.
I just happened to run into Lin Yuan who was coming back from the terrace at the end of the corridor, holding Jiang Yongzhuang.
Jiang Yongzhuang keenly sensed that something was wrong with his master, and pushed Lin Yuan's chest a few times with his pink and white little paws that never scratched anyone.
So Lin Yuan immediately understood and put it down.
Before the door of Jiang Ying's room closed, Jiang Yongzhuang also rushed in.
When he returned to the hall, Lu Suye was the only one left there.
That powerful and difficult rival in love was naturally dealt with.
Mission successfully completed.
Lu Suye patted Lin Yuan's shoulder, his eyes showing some approval, "Well done."
"Oh, oh!!" Lin Yuan just realized that he was no longer needed here.
"Then I'll clean up here and leave!"
Quite the way.
The boss's meaning was very clear, he didn't want to be a light bulb here.
Lin Yuan buried the smelly bait cans soaked in gasoline on the ground, then mopped the floor several times and cooked dinner at the same time.
He originally wanted to say goodbye to Jiang Yongzhuang, whom he had been taking care of.
However, Jiang Yongzhuang was in Jiang Ting's room, and it was impossible for him to knock on the door of "the boss's woman".
So, I can only say goodbye to the cat bowl filled with clean water and cat food.
"See you again, Xiaomi."
Lin Yuan seemed to be lost in thought.
besides……
Forget it, he doesn’t dare to do that.
-
The sun sets.
In the courtyard in front of the hotel, a spacious jeep was parked next to a red women's luxury supercar.
The afternoon was also filled with love and hope.
But at this moment, it was like a leaky balloon, shriveled and lifeless.
The sky turned the dark blue of the deep sea, and the moon came out.
Lu Suye turned on the light in the hotel corridor and glanced at the door of Jiang Ting's room.
There has been no movement for such a long time, maybe he fell asleep?
Very close, he heard the sound of claws scratching at wood.
Jiang Yongzhuang wanted to get out.
Lu Suye opened the door for it.
Jiang Yongzhuang, who had finally escaped, couldn't wait, but when he saw that it was this man who opened the door for him, he started cursing again.
"Hello, little one."
But Lu Suye was in a good mood and would take the initiative to greet it.
But Jiang Yongzhuang ignored him and just hated him.
Plus, it was starving, so it quickly ran to the cat bowl and ate.
At this time, extremely suppressed low crying began to come out from the room intermittently, for fear of being heard by others.
Jiang Xi sat on the bed, hugging her legs and burying her face in her knees, her shoulders twitching constantly.
Lu Suye: "..."
No way?
-
The presence of a huge creature beside the bed was quite obvious.
Someone is coming.
"Jiang Xi?"
Lu Suye called out twice, but she ignored him.
Until the man's big hand grasped her shoulders and turned her from the state of escape to facing him.
Only then did Lu Suye know what had happened that afternoon when Jiang Xi was alone in the room.
There is only one thing, cry.
Crying for the departure of another man.
Jiang Qian was forced to face Lu Suye, even though she tried not to make a sound and forced herself to suppress her sadness.
Her swollen eyes, red nose, chapped lips, and water-streaked face all revealed that the other party already knew that she had been crying for the entire afternoon.
She was practically falling apart.
The moment he saw Jiang Xi like this, Lu Suye had a moment of self-doubt. Was he wrong to do this and make her so sad?
But he subconsciously didn't want to think about these things. Anyway, he had never been an upright gentleman, and it was even more impossible for him to do something stupid to help others and move others.
He only knew clearly that if he wanted something in his heart, he would do whatever it took to get it.
That's all.
So, regardless of whether Jiang Xi was willing or not, he just hugged her tightly.
Caught off guard, my cheek hit a solid chest, as hard as stone.
The body was tightly wrapped by a pair of strong and powerful arms, feeling extremely secure.
The hug was so wide and she was so petite.
Lu Suye's tightened arms gave Jiang Qian a sense of security, as if his entire body was wrapped up, which instantly struck her heart.
She was in Lu Suye's arms.
When people feel sad, what they need most is a hug like this.
A hug is worth a thousand words.
Jiang Qian really couldn't imagine that Lu Suye would actually satisfy her extravagant wish that she couldn't get from Xiao Liang and would never get again.
The emotions that she had been suppressing forcibly were allowed to be released, and she knew that she didn't need to continue pretending in front of this man.
“Wuwuwu——”
Along with the loud sobs, Jiang Xi's tears flowed down her face.
She buried her head in Lu Suye's chest and cried, while Lu Suye gently patted her back to soothe her emotions.
My chest feels hot and cool.
Jiang Xi was crying and sniffing.
Lu Suye let go of one hand and let Jiang Xi stand up.
When Jiang Xi raised her head to look at him, he suddenly pulled his shirt.
Then, twist it between two fingers.
His clothes were ridden up, exposing his midriff.
So, in Jiang Si's tearful eyes——
The waist is so thin... The abdominal muscles are obvious, with eight pack.
Jiang Xi frowned, and Lu Suye brought the piece of cloth that he was twisting between his fingers to her nose.
"Come on, harder." He coaxed gently.
Jiang Xi was very polite. She only wiped her tears in his arms and didn't rub her nose. She kept sniffing, and Lu Suye thought she must be feeling uncomfortable.
Her brows furrowed even tighter, and Jiang Xi's tears fell.
Shouting stubbornly,
"I'm not a child!"
"I know,"
Lu Suye simply used his clothes to carefully wipe her nose.
Of course, Jiang Xi didn't listen to him and just tried her best.
But at least it was wiped clean.
"But I want to take care of you."
Lu Suye spoke frankly.
Jiang Xi lowered her eyes and didn't look at him.
His patience and flattery fell on deaf ears.
Regardless of whether Jiang Qian pretended not to know or not, Lu Suye didn't want her to be sad anymore.
At least, don't keep crying like this.
If it rains in the world when she cries, then their world now is the apocalypse of floods.
I can’t explain what’s going on in my mind right now, but one thing is for sure: what I’m saying is not what I mean.
Lu Suye said in a deep voice,
"I'll help you get him back, okay?"
Although the zombie hunter lives alone and has no fixed residence, with his abilities, it is not difficult for him to find someone. If he wants to, he can still find him.
Lu Suye said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was, what a joke, he wanted to bring back the things that he had finally gotten rid of to disgust him, he was the worst.
But I have to admit that this trick is indeed useful, and the effect of raising Xiao Liang is immediate.
"What do you want with him?"
Jiang Qian suddenly raised her head, her pupils filled with panic.
He didn't even mention the name of the person he was looking for.
"Because you keep crying," Lu Suye said frankly, "I don't want you to cry."
"I'm crying because I'm angry!" Panting, Jiang Qian looked into Lu Suye's eyes and emphasized each word, "I hate the feeling of being deceived!"
"Xiao Liang is a liar!"
Her voice suddenly became very loud, much louder than when she usually spoke.
As if to make himself believe.
She said this not only to Lu Suye, but also to herself.
Lu Suye remained silent and just looked at her quietly.
Wait until she is exposed under such scrutiny.
He couldn't wait, and she wouldn't let him wait.
Her fingers tightened unconsciously, and even Jiang Qian herself didn't realize that she had taken the initiative to move a little closer to Lu Suye, almost touching him.
Her forehead rested on his chin.
Jiang Qian was talking to herself.
"I don't like that person,"
She completely denied her relationship with Xiao Liang, "No, I never liked him at all."
Repeating guiltily, in front of another man.
It's the worst lie.
Jiang Xi's heart suddenly felt empty...with nowhere to rely on.
My heart ached again, longing for healing.
Hug her again, as tightly as before.
Unfortunately, the hug she wanted never came.
"What about me?"
Lu Suye's voice was hoarse.
Eyes full of aggression, possessiveness, and desire came from a man in danger.
When Jiang Xi found out, it was too late.
A rough big hand easily grasped her slender, snow-white neck, pulling her body forward.
Then, Lu Suye's lips fell on her lips.
Lips and tongues entangled.
They kissed.
