Noticing He Sizhao's stiffness, Jiang Chuyi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
Seeing her eyes, He Sizhao shook his head reflexively.
Jiang Chuyi snorted softly, left a word "good boy", and turned to follow the direction Lu Qianzhi left.
In the book "Guide to Getting Along with Stray Cats", she saw a sentence: When dealing with sensitive cats, you should often use encouraging and kind words to motivate them so that they will be more likely to get close to you.
Now He Sizhao is her cook and also her "cat", so there seems to be nothing wrong in praising him more.
He Sizhao didn't dare to say a word and watched her leave.
She walked on tiptoe, her steps light and nimble, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood because she could take a shower.
He Shizhao felt even more depressed after seeing this.
Su Mo, who had been circling nearby, came over and said, "Brother Zhao, didn't you throw away that skirt?"
He was not there when He Sizhao threw the skirt, but he saw the skirt thrown under the breakthrough before getting on the car.
He Sizhao was silent.
Su Mo added, "It's obvious this area hasn't been inhabited for a long time. There are zombies everywhere. Where can we find roses?"
He Sizhao became even more silent.
If it were in the past, Su Mo might have said this to deliberately pull at He Sizhao's scar, but now he didn't mean to tease, and his eyes were a little serious, obviously worried about not being able to complete Jiang Chuyi's instructions.
Wuyi poked his head out from behind the sofa, holding the snacks he had just found.
When Jiang Chuyi was here just now, he sensed a heavy atmosphere and didn't dare to show up at all.
"Or... just be honest with Xiaoyi," he suggested carefully, "otherwise, if you can't get the skirt tomorrow, the scene will be even more exciting."
They have all seen Jiang Chuyi's sharp tongue. It feels good when the target of his criticism is the enemy, but when the target is himself, he wants to die.
"Things have to be solved one by one." He Sizhao glanced at the biscuits in Wuyi's hand, his eyes becoming determined. "I'll go look around for roses first."
Wu Yi looked at He Si Zhao as he left with a look that asked, "Boss, are you crazy? Why are there roses in this damn place?" Su Mo thought about it and actually followed him.
Unintentional: ???
When He Sizhao saw Su Mo, he was clearing the zombies around him. In order to prevent the gunshots from attracting more zombies to gather, he did not use a gun, but relied on his swift skills to directly twist the zombie's neck. However, due to the fast speed, no blood was left on his hands.
Seeing Su Mo coming, he didn't say anything, quickly cleaned up the surroundings, and then Su Mo released Xiaoxue.
The two have worked together for many years and have a tacit understanding, sometimes even communicating without words.
"Xiaoxue doesn't know roses, so she might not be able to find them, but she can take us to a place where there are plants." Su Mo shrugged helplessly, "We can only go with the flow."
He Sizhao lifted his leg and followed Xiaoxue: "What do you want to tell me?"
"I just saw that you probably couldn't complete Xiaoyi's request, so I came to help you out of kindness. What else can I say?" Su Mo had a nonchalant smile on his face.
"Su Mo." He Sizhao rarely called his name so seriously. "Xiaoyi is different from others."
"I agree." Su Mo was still nonchalant.
He Sizhao stopped and turned to stare at Su Mo.
Su Mo also stopped, and the two men looked at each other among the corpses on the ground. The eyes of these two partners who had worked together for many years met, and for the first time, there was a spark of sharpness in their eyes.
"Since I'm hiring you, I don't care about your past, but I have a bottom line." He Sizhao said in a deep voice, "Now you're about to cross the line."
The smile on Su Mo's lips faded, and his voice was somewhat quiet in the evening breeze: "Brother Zhao, you have been wary of me for so many years, right?"
"Su Mo!" He Sizhao frowned, his tone a little stern. "Are you sure you can control yourself now? Have you ever thought about what would happen to you and Xiaoyi if you had an attack?"
Su Mo's smile completely disappeared. He brushed a strand of blown black hair behind his ear with an indifferent expression.
"I'm trying my best to control myself, otherwise none of Lu Qianzhi and his men would survive." He said softly, "I didn't listen to you because those scum had seen Xiaoyi's space. I knew they couldn't pose a threat to us, but I still killed them all. If I hadn't been able to control myself, do you think we would still have so many companions now?"
"The object of your affection has shifted." He Sizhao stared at him. "Is this a good thing?"
"Of course it's a good thing for Xiaoyi." Su Mo smiled again, as if deliberately hiding some emotions through his smiling eyes. "Brother Zhao, I know what you are worried about, but I don't want to ruin everything now. Believe me, I can prove myself."
His voice faded away with the wind: "Or do you want to use that incident to ask me to never appear in front of Xiaoyi again?"
He Sizhao looked at him quietly, and Su Mo did not dodge. The two looked at each other for a moment, and He Sizhao was the first to look away and walked forward.
"I said, since I use you, I trust you."
Su Mo's smile was filled with sincerity, and he followed.
"Everyone can see now that Xiaoyi's attitude towards you is different from that towards all of us. Are you so eager to eliminate dissidents?" He returned to his joking tone. "Are you jealous just because Xiaoyi has changed a little bit towards me?"
He thought he would be met with a sharp glare from He Sizhao, but He Sizhao didn't even turn his head.
"Xiaoyi has never been my appendage. I take care of her now because I want to, not because I consider her mine. Your guess is wrong." His face couldn't reveal his thoughts. "When we return to the main base, she will meet more people and a more colorful world. No matter what choice she makes then, I will not interfere."
"Oh..." Su Mo dragged out his voice, "Are you sure you can bear to give it up when the time comes?"
He Sizhao's Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed the dryness between his lips and teeth: "Sure."
"Well, let's compete fairly." Su Mo shrugged, as if he didn't notice the darkening of He Sizhao's eyes. He smiled like a fox that had just stolen a chicken. "Even if my starting point is much worse than yours, I can't ignore the threats from around me."
He Shizhao looked at him deeply.
"Since you like Xiaoyi, aren't you worried about what she might hear when she arrives at the main base?"
"She heard it, and she doesn't have a very good impression of me anyway." Su Mo said gently, "Compared to Xiaoyi's life, those things are worthless."
At this point, the last bit of temptation that He Sizhao had hidden deep in his eyes finally receded.
The two of them gradually walked away, and faint sounds continued to be heard.
"By the way, why did you throw away Xiaoyi's skirt? Isn't that asking for trouble?"
"...It's been soaked with blood. Even if it's still there, it can't be washed out."
…
When the two of them finally returned to the villa after much difficulty, they ran into Wuyi who was spinning like a top in the living room.
"Boss, Su Mo, you're back!" Wuyi rushed over as if he had found a savior, "Go up and take a look, Xiaoyi is having a tantrum in the bathroom!"
The two looked at each other and immediately ran to the second floor.
When I came to the outside of the bathroom, I saw a group of men gathered there, all with helpless expressions on their faces. Lu Qianzhi was standing closest to the door, and his face was also very confused.
Seeing the two people coming back, everyone showed an expression of "being saved".
He Sizhao held his breath and took a few steps forward without hearing any sound from inside.
Before he could get close, a scolding came from inside.
"I told you not to come looking for me until that bastard He Sizhao comes back, don't you understand?"
He Sizhao: ...
Facing all kinds of looks from the surroundings, he cleared his throat and said, "Xiaoyi, it's me."
There was silence in the bathroom for a moment.
While He Sizhao was mentally prepared—
"You still remember to come back? I told you to go find flower petals, but did you go traveling to the other side of the world? If you want me to freeze to death here, just say so!"
He Sizhao was scolded and turned to look at Lu Qianzhi.
Lu Qianzhi blinked at him frantically and put his hands together in a praying gesture to prevent Jiang Chuyi from thinking of him again. However...
"Each of them is so troublesome. That idiot Lu Qianzhi even heated the water to 60 degrees. Why doesn't he just put all the carrots and vegetables in the space into my bathtub, so I can put them on the plate directly later." Jiang Chuyi continued to speak non-stop. "An awakened person can't even control his own talent. What kind of awakening is this? Please give the talent you don't know how to use to someone who needs it? And you can still be a-"
Dang, what?
Jiang Chuyi was as if someone had suddenly covered her mouth. Lu Qianzhi, who looked as if he had lost his parents after being scolded, knocked on the door with some concern: "Xiaoyi, are you okay?"
In the bathroom: "Get out!"
Lu Qianzhi's arm froze in mid-air.
He Sizhao's grip on his backpack tightened unconsciously, and he brought up another topic that might cause a bigger outburst: "Xiaoyi, we've found the petals. How should I give them to you?"
Lian Riqing, the only female member of the team, was already lying in bed, so how to get her in became a big problem.
Jiang Chuyi said, "He Sizhao, come in, everyone else get out."
In an instant, the gaze on He Shizhao changed again.
Fortunately, Lu Qianzhi spoke in time: "It's okay, Major General, there is a curtain in the bathtub, and you can't see anything."
He Sizhao then slightly relaxed his tense muscles. He pretended not to feel the heat rising on his face and said seriously, "Then I'll come in."
He pushed the door open and walked in, blocking out the gazes of others.
Steam was rising in the bathroom, accompanied by a faint fragrance. He Sizhao was very familiar with this smell. Whenever the girl fell asleep in his arms, her hair would exude this calming fragrance.
The girl he likes is just a curtain away from him. This extreme test that is tantamount to torture is hanging over his head. Captain He looks righteous, but his heart seems to be experiencing two extremes of ice and fire.
Without looking at the direction of the shower curtain, he handed the backpack in: "Xiaoyi, there are no roses around here. Maybe it's too hot and they have all withered. But there is a lot of fresh water around. I picked some lotus flowers..."
Before Jiang Chuyi could lose his temper, he quickly added, "Xiaoxue has been searching for a long time and is exhausted. I think the lotus flowers are very fresh, so I picked some and brought them back to ask you."
He cunningly used Xiaoxue to take the blame, which effectively curbed Jiang Chuyi's anger.
She took the backpack, and after a rustling sound, the bathroom was suddenly filled with the fragrance of lotus flowers.
He Shizhao stared at the person beside him without looking away, his face flushed from his ears to the base of his neck.
"Well, I'll be out first."
Just as he was moving lightly and preparing to evacuate quietly, there was a sudden rustling sound and the entire shower curtain was pulled open.
He Sizhao:!!!
He was so shocked that he stood at attention and turned around, standing with his back to the bathtub, straighter than a gun.
"What's wrong?" He tried his best to keep his voice calm.
He originally thought Jiang Chuyi had other requests, but that was not the end.
After a burst of water sound, the sound of someone stepping barefoot on the ground was particularly clear to He Shizhao's sensitive hearing.
He didn't dare to move, and heard the light footsteps gradually coming behind him.
"Why is your neck so red? Did you get boiled in 60-degree water?" Jiang Chuyi muttered, "Forget it, it's not a big deal."
"Xiaoyi, you..."
He Sizhao really couldn't figure out this routine, but before he could ask again, he felt a pair of soft hands start to... pull his belt.
He Shizhao was completely stunned.
"It's so hard." Jiang Chuyi's impatient voice came, "Didn't you say last time that you would show me your treasure? Hurry up, don't shirk your responsibility."
He Sizhao:.
