Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Dependencies
"Whatever you do to me,"
When she said this, Jiang Xi's face turned red enough to look like blood, and her voice sounded forced out. The bottom line that she repeatedly broke was the morality and shame that she could never pick up again.
If this is the price that can be exchanged, "As long as you don't leave me..."
There was not a moment more than now that she hoped that the man in front of her was an out-and-out lecher.
Because then she would be safe.
But the cruelty of reality is like a basin of ice water pouring down.
After understanding what she meant, Xiao Liang's voice was unfamiliar and cold, shattering her last bubble of hope.
"You probably misunderstood."
He was looking into her eyes, calm as a mirror, reflecting only her panic and disbelief. "I have no interest in you."
When a man tells a woman that he is not interested in her, especially when the woman has strong intentions towards the man, it is basically a death sentence for her.
"No...it's not like that..." Jiang Qian's expression had become awkward and shy, with a hint of self-mockery, "You were staring at me the whole time."
—Staring at my breasts.
She was breathing rapidly, biting her lips hard, and felt so aggrieved that she almost died.
Xiao Liang's gaze gradually moved down from her charming eyes filled with tears, and then stopped.
He was indeed looking at her at that time, but unfortunately, not so low that it would make him a gangster.
The place he was looking at was actually here.
Above the small and exquisite chin are soft and delicate lips.
Xiao Liang stretched out his hand and only indicated the direction, but did not touch it directly so frivolously, as if he was afraid of causing more misunderstandings.
But for someone who is about to freeze to death and is shivering constantly, this is like a bright and hot spark rekindled in the ashes.
"Do you like the shape of my lips, or...?"
Jiang Qian was still unwilling to give up any opportunity to prove that the other party had feelings for her.
Look at her lips, isn't it the same?
What else can a man think when he keeps staring at a woman's mouth! ?
She is right!
But unexpectedly, after saying this, Xiao Liang, who was always serious, actually laughed.
The upward curve of his mouth gave him a touch of humanity. It turned out that he was not an iceberg poker-faced person.
The smile was fleeting.
Then, Jiang Qian heard him say the coldest and most cruel words in the world with his 37-degree mouth.
"At that time, I just wanted to know, those red lips, was it the color of the lipstick, or..."
Xiao Liang looked at Jiang Xi and told her the real reason why he was staring at her without moving.
"Or did you just bite someone and there's blood on your lips?"
In other words, his misleading perverted behavior was just to confirm whether the person in front of him was a zombie or not.
In an instant, time stopped and everything around was frozen.
In Jiang Ting's mind, after the Big Bang, several civilizations developed and then disappeared.
After what seemed like an eternity, she stiffened and stood up.
The double embarrassment and the blow of the truth being revealed wiped out all the advantages she had been proud of since she was born.
When the tide receded, it turned out that she was the only one swimming naked.
Oh my God, what did she just do?
Thinking back to the whole process of her trying to "seduce" Xiao Liang, every frame was so unbearable that she wanted to bury her head in the ground.
There should be a limit to being sentimental...
Or has she been a star for too long and isn't destined for fame, but has instead developed a celebrity syndrome, thinking that if she just looks at her and acts a little coquettishly, all men will fall for her!?
It's so embarrassing.
The shock and trauma she suffered tonight will take her a lifetime to heal!!
Now she just wanted to escape from the "battlefield" immediately.
"Is there anything you need?"
Just as she was about to enter the healing cabin, the voice of the man who almost sent her to hell rang out behind her.
Xiao Liang said that he would pass by an abandoned market later to collect some supplies, and if Jiang Xi needed anything, he would try his best to meet her needs.
After all, he will leave here tomorrow morning. Although Jiang Qian has a car, she probably won't have any daily necessities in the trunk of such a luxury car. She has to prepare some and rely on these things to survive.
I don’t know if it’s because my brain has frozen and I haven’t fully recovered yet, or if I feel like it doesn’t matter anymore, or maybe it’s both.
Jiang Xiao: "I want to remove my makeup. It would be great if there was a DHB cleansing oil."
She brought all other cosmetics and skin care products in the car, except this one.
She really wanted to wash her face now, like crazy.
Xiao Liang: "..."
After saying this, Jiang Xi closed the door.
Lying on the quilt in the bedroom of the lumberjack's cabin, her kitten soon jumped up and snuggled up with her.
To be honest, even if this place has been abandoned for a long time and no one lives here, the bed that a rough man has slept on will definitely not smell good.
She didn't dare take off her clothes, but just put her coat under her body, hugged her arms and closed her eyes.
Nightmare nightmare, this is a nightmare!
Wake up!
So, she fell asleep in constant self-suggestion and prayer.
However, because the surrounding environment was so bad, I couldn't sleep well and kept waking up from sleep.
Every time she woke up, she saw the ceiling of a haunted house, which disappointed her again and again.
collapse!
She's still in this shabby place.
The only thing that could give her a little comfort was the warm furry thing at her hand.
"Yongzhuang, what should we do next?"
She couldn't help but feel sad.
However, it seems that it is not her cat Jiang Yongzhuang who is worrying about whether he can adapt to the environment.
Before she adopted it, it was a stray cat that could sleep anywhere.
In fact, the current living environment is the life it is most accustomed to.
Jiang Qian was worrying about her future, which was full of danger and confusion, when suddenly——
Knock knock knock!
The crisp sound passed through her scalp in the silent night, like a wooden fish knocking on her crown.
Goosebumps immediately appeared all over her body, and she looked terrified. What sound!?
Xiao Mi also woke up, opened her big round eyes and looked towards the door.
Someone is knocking on the door.
Jiang Qian tiptoed over and asked in a trembling voice, "Who...?"
In fact, she regretted it as soon as she made the sound.
She didn't know to what extent the zombies had evolved, and whether some of the zombies that retained intelligence had the ability to deliberately imitate humans.
Fortunately...
"It's me."
The familiar voice caused the door to open a crack, revealing one of Jiang Xi's eyes.
The figure standing outside the door blocked the bright moonlight tonight.
His face was buried in the shadow of the backlight, and her facial features could not be seen clearly. There was only a tall, sculpture-like nose bridge, but it was the source of her endless sense of security.
Without saying much, he opened the door, put down two large bottles of purified water, and then handed over the heavy vest bag.
"Close the door." Xiao Liang reminded.
Using the red battery bar and the remaining power of her cell phone, Jiang Ying checked the items in her vest bag.
There was a power bank, three packs of foreign potato chips, five boxes of soda crackers, two boxes of milk, one box of juice, and three packs of tissues. It looked like Xiao Liang had gone to the supermarket.
There were still traces of mud and dust on the surface of these items, and they should be well-preserved supplies selected from the warehouse.
Looking further inside, there is a plastic bottle.
In the light of her cell phone, she recognized the English words on the bottle.
Jiang Xiao was shocked, this is makeup remover oil!!
Although it is not the brand she usually uses, this brand is also an international brand that is absolutely trustworthy.
Really, did you bring her makeup remover?
In an instant, an indescribable feeling spread over her, and she felt her heart pounding.
Then he reached in and placed it under the beam of light.
Jiang Xi: “…”
Another bottle of cleansing oil.
A bottle of shampoo.
A bottle of facial cleanser.
...Another bottle of makeup remover oil.
…………A bottle of DHB cleansing oil?
Cleansing oil meeting.
No wonder it was so heavy when he picked it up just now. As a man, he seemed to be unable to distinguish the girls' toiletries. He just found a place and packed them all up.
Until the bottles and jars were scattered all over the floor.
Finally, the vest bag was empty.
Finally she took out three round, flat tin cans.
This is?
“Meow, meow, meow!!—”
Jiang Yongzhuang was roaring, Jiang Yongzhuang was screaming.
Canned cat food!!!
After eating and drinking, and washing my face, when I lay down on the bed again, the feeling was obviously different.
No wonder she couldn’t sleep well just now. It turned out that it was the hint given by her body language. If she put on makeup and went to bed without washing her face, her face would be ruined the next day!
She felt extremely sad when she thought about the profession that cared most about one's image, and the daily expenses and maintenance required, which were simply a luxury as luxurious as risking one's life in the apocalypse.
Perhaps, God made her meet Xiao Liang right after she crossed over, as an experience card for her novice protection period, and also gave her the opportunity to adapt to this cruel world.
I slept until dawn.
When she woke up, Jiang Yongzhuang was already awake and parkouring in the cabin.
The strong and powerful sound of footsteps, "dong dong dong", might make someone who didn't know mistake it for a lively little boy of three or four years old having fun.
Fortunately, before going to bed, she carefully checked the doors and windows to make sure they were closed tightly.
Otherwise, Jiang Yongzhuang might have jumped off to somewhere else.
In order to save food, she only ate a bag of potato chips, drank a box of milk, and used half a bottle of water to wash her face yesterday.
I packed all my things into that oversized vest bag and carried it to the door like I was moving house.
The moment she opened the door, she hesitated.
There was no doubt that she was afraid.
Even the wilderness cannot arouse the fear deep in people's hearts. The most difficult thing for people to do is to give full play to their unconstrained imagination.
What if, when you open the door, you see a zombie hand?
After you have prepared yourself mentally, you will have to open the door and take the step of living on your own sooner or later.
Jiang Yongzhuang was already impatient and kept scratching the door up and down with his claws.
Open the door quickly, please open it!
Open sesame.
The morning forest air hits your nose, accompanied by the fragrance of moist grass. Not far away, there are the chirping of birds and the rustling of branches in the wind.
Everything is so peaceful and beautiful.
Her nose suddenly felt a little sore.
If she had not encountered a large number of zombies in person, how could she have dared to believe that such beautiful scenery and harmonious nature were a world sewn together with such a chaotic apocalypse full of horror, depravity and separation.
The things were a bit heavy and it was difficult for her to lift them, but when she thought that these might be all she needed for survival in the future, her adrenaline suddenly surged and she turned into a strongman.
The fire outside the cabin went out, leaving only some traces of burning wood.
In the piles of ashes that have not yet been blown away by the wind, there may still be powder from her banknotes that have been burned to ashes.
The red luxury supercar was parked not far away. Seeing it, Jiang Xiao encouraged herself.
It doesn’t matter, she still has a car!
She can drive anywhere and it's safe in her car.
As she got closer, the deeper red superimposed on the red car body and the hand prints mixed with blood and brain matter on the cracked window glass evoked the memory of being besieged by zombies, which finally broke down her pretended strength.
Doesn’t it seem that safe?
“Woo, woo, woo—”
At this point, she couldn't control her emotional breakdown and covered her mouth.
It only took half a night and half a morning to install it.
At this moment, a blurry black shadow appeared in my peripheral vision.
"Ah!" The sudden intrusion of the giant creature freed her from the torrent of emotions.
She was so frightened that she stepped back and almost ran away.
Although it was unintentional, it still scared the timid and crying little white rabbit.
He was just waiting for her on the other side of the car.
His timely appearance effectively stopped her actions and her tears.
Xiao Liang walked up to her.
Jiang Xi opened her eyes wide, fearing that she had seen it wrong and was hallucinating.
"You...you didn't leave?"
"Yeah." Xiao Liang nodded. "I thought about it all night yesterday and felt that I couldn't just leave you like this."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Xi couldn't bear it any longer.
She has never been strong, nor does she want to be strong.
She threw herself into the arms of the man in front of her without hesitation, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and pressed her face against his solid and strong chest, like a drowning person holding on to a piece of driftwood.
"I'm so scared," she choked, "I'm really scared..."
