The insect woman didn't say anything, and continued to arrange the freshly cut level-three armadillo meat on a plate.
Jiang Wu seemed to be asking himself, "All I know is that you're 21 years old now. What's your real name?"
This time, the Insect Woman did not remain silent. She said indifferently, "Song Lingxi, Ling as in Ganoderma lucidum, Xi as in pity."
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "It's a nice name."
But the insect woman didn't respond again.
Jiang Wu looked at her lowered eyelids; her long eyelashes resembled two small fans, which were quite beautiful.
However, her coldness remained unchanged.
But she acted like a submissive wife, busying herself just because she wanted to eat hot pot.
She's been like this for the past few days.
She quietly took care of everything for him.
Meals are always delivered on time.
A certain amount of firewood is always kept available for the fire.
She would even neatly put the documents he casually left aside before going to bed into a waterproof bag.
Every morning when I wake up, everything around me is neat and tidy.
But she never said a word more, or even glanced at him more than once.
This left Jiang Wu completely baffled.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Wu asked softly, "Can I call you Xiao Xi? I think that name sounds better, much better than 'Insect Girl'."
The insect woman still didn't look at Jiang Wu, but simply put the intact hot pot base into the pot and said indifferently, "Whatever."
Jiang Wu stared at the insect girl's delicate face and suddenly said, "Xiao Xi, why have you been following me these past few days? I can sense that you've been around all the time. Don't try to lie to me."
The insect woman didn't speak; she just kept busy.
Jiang Wu had guessed she would react this way, so he simply asked more directly: "Xiao Xi, do you like me?"
"Otherwise, I can't understand your behavior these past few days at all. If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes."
Before the disaster, he knew nothing about women and had never been in a relationship.
But now, he is no longer the straight man who was focused on making money on the construction site.
He was almost certain that the insect woman definitely liked him.
He simply couldn't understand why the insect girl, who wasn't even afraid of death, didn't dare to confess her feelings directly.
Is confessing your feelings more terrifying than death?
The insect woman remained silent, but for a moment, her long eyelashes trembled.
Jiang Wu felt somewhat helpless.
She was as cold as ice.
However, she was neither angry nor did she deny it.
That's enough!
Jiang Wu stood up and walked towards the insect woman not far away.
The insect woman seemed to know what Jiang Wu was about to do, and her movements stiffened slightly.
The next second, she acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to squat on the ground and work.
Jiang Wu walked to the side of the Insect Woman.
He sat down on the icy ground, almost touching her slender arm.
The insect woman's body stiffened again.
But she didn't avoid it.
Jiang Wu turned his head to look at the still busy insect girl and said softly, "Xiao Xi, Xiao Huang has completed its evolution. I'm going to Shanghai. There are tens of millions of zombies in and around Shanghai, and I have a feeling that Shanghai is not so simple."
"I don't know when I'll be able to come back here after this trip. Are you really not going to come to Shanghai with me? Are you going to stay here all by yourself?"
The Insect Woman didn't look up, nor did she turn to look at Jiang Wu. She simply said, "This is my home. Why would I go anywhere else?"
Jiang Wu didn't expect the Insect Woman to be so cold and say such things at this moment.
This left Jiang Wu feeling very helpless.
The next second.
Jiang Wu suddenly reached out and grabbed the insect woman's right hand.
Those fair and slender little hands were very cold.
Just like the insect woman's own personality.
Jiang Wu could also feel that the moment he grabbed the Insect Woman's right hand, her entire hand froze.
But she still didn't struggle.
Jiang Wu was now completely certain of the Insect Woman's feelings.
After all, if it were a man she didn't like grabbing her hand like that, given her personality, she would definitely struggle violently.
Then unleash a massive swarm of insects and fight the enemy to the death.
This made Jiang Wu even happier.
The Insect Girl's looks and figure are already top-notch.
During their time together, especially her quiet dedication, Jiang Wu developed unusual feelings for her.
Her insect control skills were something that even Jiang Wu envied greatly.
Jiang Wu still really wanted her to be his woman.
This is a great thing for him, and for the cause of the revival of China.
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "That's the territory of the man you like, so isn't it practically your home?"
The insect woman froze on the spot.
A few seconds later, she lowered her head even further.
Her long, smooth, black hair, which was draped over both sides, slipped down as she moved, covering most of her face.
Jiang Wu wasn't in a hurry; he just smiled and looked at her.
After a long while, the insect woman said indifferently, "Let me go, I'm not clean."
The simple eight words left Jiang Wu stunned.
Is this why the Insect Woman is so cold?
This is why the insect girl, despite liking him, silently takes care of everything for him but refuses to reveal her feelings.
The insect girl felt the warmth of Jiang Wu's palm.
You could also feel the stiffness in his hands when he said those words.
A hint of sadness flashed in her lowered eyes as she tried to pull her hand away.
But the next second, she was suddenly pulled away by a tremendous force.
The next second, the insect girl was already leaning against Jiang Wu, being held tightly in his arms.
She froze completely.
She could clearly feel the burning heat emanating from Jiang Wu's chest.
