Chapter 666 Conflict Arises
I was kicked out of the bedroom, and Wu Shuang's crying could be heard from inside.
Hu Fei appeared in the corridor at an inopportune moment, smiling as he said, "I didn't expect to actually get kicked out. Don't tell me you were trying to force yourself on me; I just heard crying."
I couldn't be bothered with him and turned to leave.
When I arrived at the stairwell, I instinctively went upstairs. After reaching the rooftop, I checked my pockets and found I had no cigarettes.
Hu Fei came to my side at this moment and handed me a cigarette. "Here, have a smoke. Don't be shy."
After I took it, I lit the cigarette in my hand and took two puffs.
Hu Fei said, "I was just joking, don't be angry."
I said, "Yes."
Hu Fei said, "You didn't really have a fight with Wu Shuang, did you? You two seemed so loving before, you don't seem like the type to have a fight."
I said, "I think I've already told you about my relationship with Wu Shuang."
"Yes, I did."
I said, "To be honest, my relationship with Wu Shuang wasn't as deep as you think. We only spoke for the first time after the zombie outbreak, and we were separated less than a week later. When we met again later, she was dead. In total, we only spent about half a month together."
"I liked her back then because I thought she was very pure, and I didn't want to let anyone down, so we got together. But at that time, we had no idea how the other felt about us. We just thought that since we were together, we should like each other."
Hu Fei exclaimed in surprise, "There's such a thing?"
I said, "After Wu Shuang died, I found that I couldn't let go of her, and then I never liked anyone else. Many times I would come to the rooftop, mainly to think about her. Later, when I found out that she was still alive, I rushed over. I didn't care whether I could find her or not, I just wanted to find her, like I was looking for an answer."
“Actually, when I first came here, I hoped that even if I found her, she would forget about me. That way, I wouldn’t have any burden, and she could live the life she wanted without me having to bother her.”
Hu Fei didn't understand what I meant at first. "Uh, you mean you want to let go?"
"Yes, I want to let go, but she still remembers me, so I can't let go. I've thought about her for so long, and she's thought about me for so long. No matter what our feelings are, I can't let go now. I finally found her, and letting go like this wouldn't be a good thing for either of us."
Hu Fei sighed. "What was she thinking?"
I said, "I don't know. I think she's also feeling confused right now. What she said just now was actually quite contradictory. I didn't know how to comfort her, and in the end, I was kicked out."
Hu Fei sighed and patted my shoulder. "Brother, all I can say is that I sympathize with you."
I said, "You don't need to pity me, because at least I have a girlfriend, while you don't."
"..." Hu Fei's expression froze. He clearly didn't expect me to say such a despicable thing.
I don't know what came over me; I said those words out of nowhere.
"Just kidding, don't mind me."
“I mind!” Hu Fei said.
"..." What the hell could I do as I watched Hu Fei's departing figure?
Let's just make it cold.
...
The next morning, before I was even fully awake, there was a knock on the door, and Hu Fei shouted from outside, "Lu Xiaonan, get up quickly, something's happened outside!"
Hearing this, I felt helpless and could only get out of bed, still half asleep, and go to the door, asking, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Hu Fei said, "Jiang Xiaoxiao and Wu Shuang are arguing."
Hearing this, my expression changed instantly. Wu Shuang and Jiang Xiaoxiao were arguing? What happened?
"What happened?"
Hu Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened either. I went out for breakfast this morning and saw the two of them arguing for no reason. I couldn't hear what they were arguing about, so I came to call you. You should go and take a look. I guess only you can talk them out."
I was truly helpless about this situation, and hurriedly followed Hu Fei to the cafeteria.
Resources in Longhu are not abundant, so it's impossible for more than 300 people to eat together; they all eat in small groups.
The meals in the courtyard were all the same. When I arrived at the canteen, before I even went in, I could hear Wu Shuang and Jiang Xiaoxiao arguing inside.
Listening carefully, I could clearly hear the situation of their argument and was basically certain that it was about their accommodation.
The accommodations Wu Shuang arranged for Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others seemed to have a problem. Zombies kept appearing outside. Although there was an iron net separating them, it was useless. Especially when there were many of them and a lot of noise, the zombies outside would come in droves. If they hadn't discovered and cleared it in time last night, Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others would probably be in trouble by now.
I hurried inside and said to the two of them, "You two, calm down for a bit."
"Shut up!" Wu Shuang yelled at me angrily.
I was stunned when she yelled at me like that.
Wu Shuang looked at me and said, "What, you also want to stand on her side and speak up for her, right?"
"I..." I was at a loss for words.
Wu Shuang looked at me coldly, and I knew she was very angry. Judging from yesterday's situation, I could tell that she didn't have a good impression of Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others.
"Wu Shuang, calm down. Let's talk things out slowly. There's no need to argue..."
Wu Shuang looked at me and said, "Longhu is my territory. I can arrange things however I want. If you don't want to live here, get back to your Jiajiang."
I opened my mouth, completely taken aback that Wu Shuang would say something like that.
I knew she was actually saying this to Jiang Xiaoxiao, but I felt a pang of anxiety in my heart.
After Wu Shuang finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Jiang Xiaoxiao stood there angrily.
I glanced at her, and was about to speak when she turned and left, showing me no respect whatsoever.
I was immediately overwhelmed. What kind of situation is this?!
The original plan was quite good: let Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others stay here for the time being, and if it really didn't work out, we would take them back to Jiajiang. But it seems that it really won't work now.
Wow, it's only been one night!
I stood in the cafeteria, completely at a loss for what to do.
Hu Fei asked, "What do we do now?"
I yelled angrily, "How the hell should I know what to do?!"
Hu Fei raised an eyebrow. "Then take your time thinking about it. I'm going to have breakfast first."
I closed my eyes, not feeling like eating, and went straight to find Wu Shuang.
