Chapter 5 10. Midnight Horror
Suddenly, she smelled the fragrance of food. The extremely exhausted Tian Yuanyuan was suddenly refreshed. She turned around and looked at Qiao Zixi in surprise. In such an unknown escape, she still had the mood to prepare such exquisite meals. Her calmness was really incredible.
Qiao Zixi smiled faintly and handed Tian Yuanyuan a portion of food.
"Sister Qiao, is this for me?"
Tian Yuanyuan was surprised when she saw the food handed to her.
"Well, it's for you. Thank you for protecting me along the way."
Along the way, she watched her trying hard to stand in front of her and protect her behind her with all her strength. No matter what her purpose was, she did make sure to protect her. People who practiced immortality were always cold-hearted, but they clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment.
While eating the delicious meal, Tian Yuanyuan seemed to recall the distant past, and her eyes were instantly blurred with tears.
After finishing her meal, Qiao Zixi began to talk to the baby in her belly. These days, whenever she has time, she will talk to the baby in her belly. The life of a cultivator is very long. She has reached the stage of transformation of spirit. For thousands of years, she has been an ascetic monk. Although she has a few close friends, she has no other companion in cultivation. Now, she is reborn through a body. This is also a new way of cultivation, entering the world and cultivating the heart.
Tian Yuanyuan looked at the heartwarming scene with a complicated expression. She didn't know whether to be happy, sad, or grateful for the fickleness of fate. After a long pause, she suppressed her turbulent thoughts and asked, "Sister Qiao, how many months is the baby?"
"It's been over five months."
Qiao Zixi withdrew his spiritual sense from her and kept the doubts about the momentary gloom he had just sensed in his heart.
"Can I touch her?"
Tian Yuanyuan asked this question very carefully.
"sure."
Qiao Zixi looked into her eyes and smiled faintly.
Tian Yuanyuan leaned forward, stretched out a hand and carefully placed it on her belly, gently stroking it through her clothes. At this moment, a handsome face emerged in her mind, a face that was deeply engraved in her mind, a cold face as deep as a cold pond, keeping people away from it.
Looking at Tian Yuanyuan who was distracted in front of him, Qiao Zixi said nothing.
On such a quiet night, facing a woman who was like salvation to her, Tian Yuanyuan's heart found a moment of peace.
She was originally a student at a prestigious university in Kyoto. Her parents were ordinary working-class people. As summer vacation was approaching, she came to this small Jiangnan city alone for a trip, but unexpectedly encountered a doomsday outbreak.
Listening to her story, Qiao Zixi had many doubts in her mind, but she did not show it.
Night gradually fell, and accompanied by the kicking and roaring of zombies outside the house, Tian Yuanyuan fell into a tired sleep.
When she heard her steady breathing, Qiao Zixi opened her eyes. She gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, looked at the messy footprints in the room, and waited quietly.
The room was dark, with only a few moonlight shining through the glass window, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere. Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard, accompanied by chewing and biting sounds, and the noises became louder and louder.
Tian Yuanyuan, who was originally sleeping soundly, jumped up instantly, swung the machete that had never left her hand, and hit something with a "bang".
With a scream of "Squeak", Tian Yuanyuan suddenly felt something was wrong.
