Chapter 202 Husband 39
In the early days of the monster's arrival, Jade Garden became a death zone. Once renowned for its prime location and the sheer value of its land, residents were now dying or fleeing. Yet, in recent days, Jade Garden has soared to become the safest neighborhood in Blue City, surpassing Qingshui Garden, once the safest until it collapsed.
The housing prices in Jade Garden soared again. Wen Hui regretted not buying a few more houses at that time. Looking at the balance on her card, the regret disappeared.
Even if she wanted to buy more, she didn't have any extra savings.
After a few days of leisure at home with Chen Lang, Wen Hui decided to apply for another job, but every company rejected her due to her frail frame. Due to the monster's presence, companies were increasingly preferring strong and athletic individuals when hiring new employees, believing they would be more likely to stay employed long-term, rather than being so frightened by the monster's appearance that they would be unable to protect themselves.
Eventually, Wen Hui applied for a cashier job at a small supermarket opposite the Jade Garden. The owner, Zhang Jin, was originally a resident of the Jade Garden. When the monster descended, it devoured his wife. Luckily, he was in the supermarket at the time and escaped.
"Xiao Wen, do you live alone in Jade Garden?" Zhang Jin asked.
He also runs a larger supermarket in the most prosperous area. He rarely comes to the small supermarket in Feicui Garden, but when he sees the gentle and beautiful female employee at the cashier counter, his feet unconsciously stay where they are.
He pretended to tidy up the shelves and then leaned against the counter. The security level in Jade Garden had improved recently, and his supermarket business had also improved. His face was flushed and he smiled at Wen Hui in a self-proclaimed charming way.
Wen Hui: "With my husband."
Zhang Jin was dumbfounded. "You, you have a husband... No, I mean, is he willing to let you work?"
Wen Hui glanced at him in confusion, and thinking that he was the boss, she was busy typing on the computer.
She hadn't planned on staying at the supermarket cashier job long-term; she was just short on cash recently, so she decided to take this job for now. To strangers, she had a steady, down-to-earth personality. Her slender fingers tapped at the keyboard, and her profile, staring at the computer screen, had a gentle, peaceful air.
She hummed casually.
Zhang Jin was standing next to them, asking questions casually.
Wen Hui showed no impatience and answered his questions casually. When she saw a customer coming in, she took the opportunity to keep quiet. Seeing this, Zhang Jin left the store.
Wen Hui returned to her life before marriage. Whether she came to Lancheng or Qingcheng, she was busy making a living every day.
She is a child without a home and can only fill the inner emptiness with busy work.
As the safety factor of the Jade Garden has been improved, the shops across the community have become bustling with people. After work, she mainly watches the shop and collects money. It does not require any technical skills, but she feels a long-lost satisfaction while doing it.
It was dark. Wen Hui turned off the power. Before she left the shop, she saw Zhang Jin driving up to the door. The passenger window rolled down, and Zhang Jin leaned toward her, steering with one hand. "It's dark, and it's going to rain tonight. I don't need to tell you how terrible that rain is. It's not safe for you to go home alone. Let me take you home... Where's your husband? It's so late, it's dangerous. He won't come to pick you up."
When Wen Hui applied for the job, Zhang Jin was immediately attracted by the gentle aura she exuded. He thought she was a woman who could manage the household and take care of her husband. What's more, she was very beautiful. It was difficult to find a job nowadays. Although she lived in Feicui Garden, she came to apply for a cashier position. I guess her life must be very difficult, right?
When he learned that she had a husband, Zhang Jin became inexplicably angry, as if Wen Hui's beauty should belong to him and should not be ruined by other men. He was upset and wanted to let go, but when he returned home, the woman's face appeared in front of him, like a needle pricking him... He runs two supermarkets, big and small. It is her blessing that Wen Hui is with him. The man in her family might be the same as Wen Hui. He is a male worker in some factory. Now he is laid off and unemployed. He might be eaten by a monster one day.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jin's eyes swept over Wen Hui, taking in her long, smooth hair, beautiful face, and nice figure. He became more and more satisfied. He sat in the driver's seat and, without getting out of the car, leaned over and opened the passenger door. "Come in! I'll take you home."
He felt nothing in the car, but the moment the door opened, he felt a cool breeze blowing against his face, as if it was going to scrape off the skin on his face. His hands that were resting on the door were stiff and numb. He felt the chill from the soles of his feet rushing straight to his forehead. In the blink of an eye, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and dripped into his eyes.
What's going on?
The tall and strong figure of a strange man appeared in Zhang Jin's field of vision.
Chen Lang stepped out of the dark shadows into the area illuminated by the car lights. The bright light made his face particularly conspicuous. His scarlet pupils seemed to crack into spider web-like cracks, hiding unspeakable dark emotions. The most eye-catching thing, which made Zhang Jin unable to look away, was his bright red lips.
——As if stained with blood.
Just before Wen Hui finished her work, Chen Lang dealt with the alien monster that posed a threat near the store. His muscular arms easily tore the monster into pieces. Without his wife by his side, he no longer pretended. The scene was like a wild beast eating, full of horror and blood that weak humans could not bear to look at.
After filling his stomach, Chen Lang, looking the most satisfied and comfortable, went to the supermarket to pick up his wife from get off work.
He threw away the blood-stained shirt and changed into new clothes. Sensing a strange scent on his wife, Chen Lang was impatient and hurried over without wiping the blood from his lips.
This man...
Chen Lang stretched out his arms and hugged Wen Hui with an attitude of absolute possessiveness, holding his wife's body in his arms.
The broad chest protected her from the cold night wind, and the warmth seeped through her clothes and reached her whole body. Wen Hui naturally knew what Zhang Jin was thinking, but he didn't say it directly, so she couldn't refuse. What's more, she was quite satisfied with this job, mainly because it was close to home and didn't require any technical skills, which was just right for her transition from home to work.
The man's warm breath dispelled the fatigue of work. Wen Hui couldn't help but stick to Chen Lang's arms, "Boss Zhang, my husband is here to pick me up. I won't bother you anymore. We're going home. Please be careful and go home quickly!"
Zhang Jin responded awkwardly, glancing around. The coldness seemed to come from all directions. He was not in the mood to observe Wen Hui's man carefully, so he closed the car door and drove away.
Wen Hui didn't take it seriously. She took Zheng Song's arm and went home. She went to the kitchen to warm two cups of milk. Zheng Song followed her closely. Wen Hui raised her eyes and met the man's gentle eyes like spring water.
She handed him the milk and asked him, "How's your study going?"
Chen Lang absorbed Zheng Song's memories and had experience working in a psychological clinic. What's more, he himself had special skills. Even through the electronic screen, he could miraculously make the person opposite fall asleep. The scenes in the dream were constructed by him. He was familiar with psychology. He considered various jobs comprehensively and finally decided to enter the psychology industry.
——First, he needs to obtain relevant certificates.
He is currently preparing for the exam.
"I have confidence, Huihui." Back home, the scarlet flesh and blood gushed out wantonly, spreading to the ground where Wen Hui was standing, replacing the function of the floor in the blink of an eye, and even went so far as to take off the cotton slippers, wrapping Wen Hui's white feet in the warm and soft inner lining.
Chen Lang felt Wen Hui's toes shrink, as if a feather was tickling his heart. His cheeks flushed, and he hugged Wen Hui's waist bonelessly, arching his back and burying it in the crook of her neck.
She murmured, "Mei Hui, Hui Hui... Work is so hard! Come home. After I get my certificate, can we continue like before?"
Wen Hui was pushed against the wall by his heavy force. The cold wall did not touch her back, but climbed up her scarlet flesh the moment she fell.
She was completely wrapped up, as if she were trapped in cotton wool.
"No... I don't like my previous life anymore," Wen Hui pushed Chen Lang's head. After she refused, Chen Lang stopped talking and just like a dog that didn't get any snacks, he kept rubbing the skin on her chest exposed outside her collar with his forehead, nose and lips, sticky and tender.
Wen Hui is easily influenced, but after her marriage with Zheng Song, she realized that she can never give up her own life and can never become a man's vassal.
In a family of two, if one party is able to fully cover the living expenses and additional travel expenses, and the other party is able to take care of household affairs and the comfort of both parties' elderly, such a marriage model is not a bad idea.
But human nature is selfish and wicked. They fail to appreciate the contributions of their family members, denying their value and believing they are the sole proprietor of the household. This leads to arrogance, meanness, and disgusting behavior. Thus, even a marriage that was once perfectly planned can ultimately descend into endless arguments and accusations.
Although she works as a cashier, the money she earns is earned through her hard work, and no one can deny her value.
She said firmly: "I don't want to stay at home, and I don't want to resign... Chen Lang!" The flesh was bitten in the mouth, and the teeth that had gnawed at the monster, which could easily tear apart the hardest teeth, gently stroked it.
The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, but his biting made her let out a soft moan. The moment the sound came out, Wen Hui's whole face turned red.
Glancing sideways, I saw that the entire area within my field of vision was filled with scarlet flesh and blood, and a strong smell and scorching heat were rolling in.
Her face became redder and redder.
Those flesh and blood that carried life and pulsed with blood were like the most graceful and soft fingers, gently caressing every inch of her...
"I get it, Huihui." Chen Lang's eyes darkened, his scarlet flesh completely enveloping Wen Hui, drowning out the scent that the man had inadvertently lingered on her body while he spoke to her. "I support whatever Huihui wants to do, but work is exhausting, and the supermarket smells terrible. Huihui is so strong, she can even endure such a foul smell! I really want to stay home with Huihui forever. Can we not go out?"
Definitely not!
Besides, the supermarket smelled normal, so where was the stench he mentioned? Her normal job was to sit at the cashier, waiting for customers to check out. The supermarket's business was nothing compared to before the monsters arrived. In her spare time, she could absorb new knowledge and daydream, if Zhang Jin wasn't supervising her.
Wen Hui didn't have the chance to speak.
Chen Lang wrapped her up gently, kissed the corner of her lips gently, and licked her mouth gently... Where she couldn't see, the man's face, as bright as the rising sun, showed a strange madness and uncontrollable jealousy.
——When he decided to become a human being, while feeling all kinds of beautiful emotions, he also learned jealousy, madness, and greed.
When he was consciously in love, what he wanted was to be able to stay by her side forever as Zheng Song. He would be willing to do so even if he had to lose his own identity and hide under Zheng Song's skin forever.
Later, as his desires increased, his longing for a life was gradually filled with terrible malice and jealousy. He wanted to completely replace Zheng Song's position. He wanted Wen Hui's eyes to see him instead of Zheng Song. He wanted her heart to be filled with the monster him instead of the fake him in Zheng Song's skin. He wanted her fingers to touch the monster's real flesh and blood!
When the dust settled and he and Wen Hui had their home, his desires should have ceased, his desires should have been fulfilled. Instead, he saw an endless abyss unfold before his eyes. Those ugly, disgusting men kept their eyes fixed on her... Would the monsters from another world be as obsessed with Wen Hui as he was? Would they try to steal his wife, just as he had done to Zheng Song...
Huihui, Huihui.
The monster tried to please Wen Hui with his actions. Seeing the quiet jasmine flower dyed crimson and rolling in the waves created by scarlet flesh and blood, with the rich floral fragrance wafting towards him, his face showed extreme obsession and joy, but deep down he had an unwilling desire - why couldn't her gaze stay on him forever!
Huihui, Huihui...
He was afraid and nervous, fearing that one day Wen Hui's heart would fall on someone else. Even though he could see with his own eyes that Zhang Jin was completely incomparable to him, he still fell into irreversible jealousy like a madman.
“Meihui, I love you.”
——Can you also love only me like me?
“Meihui, I love you.”
——Can you keep your eyes on me only?
“Meihui, I love you.”
——Can you keep your heart with me forever and never take it back?
“Meihui, I love you.”
——I only love Huihui, I love Huihui the most, and I will always love Huihui.
Wen Hui raised her slender neck, resting her head on the scarlet flesh and blood. The rich red color reflected her white jade-like skin, like a pure white flower carefully cared for by a sea of blood. The hideous and wriggling flesh and blood supported her, and strong love was evident on it.
Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, landing on the monster's body covering the bed. Like a wash of water, she unconsciously let out a pleasant, unbearable moan...
The man's breath sprayed on her earlobe, and his confession after confession burned her. Her fingers unconsciously clenched, grabbing the naked flesh of the monster. The flesh she grabbed curled up shyly, wishing it could stay in her palm forever.
"It's so noisy." Wen Hui took advantage of the opportunity to utter a low and shy word, but in fact her heart was already filled with his undisguised love.
"Hui Hui!" Chen Lang's words were aggrieved, but his actions were gentle. His lips gently and slowly kissed away the sweat on her forehead, nose, and cheeks. "Don't despise me, Hui Hui. I love you... You should love me the most and only me, okay?"
Wen Hui hummed randomly.
In the second half of the night, my consciousness fell into a sweet dream.
…
Wen Hui is escorted to work by Chen Lang every day. After she arrives at the supermarket, Chen Lang wanders around freely and catches food to fill his stomach.
That day, Wen Hui was checking the accounts. Zhang Jin, wearing a brand new suit, sat on a chair next to her with a steaming cup of water in his arms. His eyes would fall on Wen Hui from time to time. The closer he got to Wen Hui, the more he was attracted by the gentle aura emanating from her.
——This is the wife he wants!
Zhang Jin said, "Working here doesn't have to be that hard. You can check the accounts anytime. I trust you. Take a break."
He dragged a chair to sit next to Wen Hui and said with a smile: "Let's talk for a while... Your man picks you up and drops you off at get off work. Doesn't he have a job? He relies on you for support..."
Before he could finish his words, a scream was heard at the entrance of the supermarket, piercing his eardrums, and the sound of sticky liquid dripping seemed to be ringing right beside his ears.
On the originally quiet and peaceful street, two alien species infected by monsters suddenly appeared from the darkness. They maintained human form, but without human skin. Their flesh and blood turned outward, as if burned by fire, which was terrifying.
Days of safe life had made Zhang Jin lose his ability to face danger. He screamed, and the fishy wind blew across his face, which was suddenly covered by a light and sweet smell. Wen Hui, with trembling hands, walked around the stiff Zhang Jin and closed the glass door of the supermarket.
Staring at the monster through the transparent glass, her heart sank to the bottom, and the word Chen Lang came out of her throat. Knowing that he was nearby, the feeling of dependence suddenly rose, as if drowning her like a wave.
She took advantage of the sense of security that Chen Lang brought her, and kept telling herself in her heart that Chen Lang was nearby and he would protect her, so she should not be afraid, nor be afraid... Wen Hui piled all the things at the entrance of the supermarket onto the glass door.
Seeing Zhang Jin still in a daze, he blurted out a complaint: "...Don't just stand there! Hurry up and move the tables and chairs over to block the monster. If the monster comes in, we'll both die!"
Zhang Jinmu was dazed, his arms weak. Wen Hui frowned, bit her lips and tried hard but failed to push the counter.
I watched helplessly as the monster smashed the glass door with one punch, its shiny saliva flowing all over the floor.
The small supermarket had only one door, with shelves behind it, but the only way to buy time was to run backwards. Wen Hui grabbed Zhang Jin's arm without thinking and dragged him deeper into the shelves. Zhang Jin followed Wen Hui like a puppet.
Snacks from the shelves were scattered all over the floor.
Zhang Jin fell down, "Ahhhhhhh...don't leave me, help me!!!"
The monster watched the two people's chaos slowly, like a cat teasing a mouse. The fishy smell blew in with the wind from outside the glass door and instantly filled the entire supermarket.
Wen Hui hardened her heart and turned around to run deeper.
Tears fell down her face, her face was covered with tears, and she kept calling Chen Lang in her heart.
Time seemed to stretch infinitely. Wen Hui was shrouded in despair. Chen Lang's anxious voice rang in her ears, "Huihui! Huihui, where are you?" Seeing Wen Hui's figure, Chen Lang's facial expression relaxed and he ran towards the supermarket without stopping.
The moment Chen Lang appeared, the strength supporting Wen Hui suddenly weakened. Her legs softened and she fell to the ground, pointing at Zhang Jin's position with tears in her eyes, "Chen Lang, you are finally here! Please save him..."
In Wen Hui's tear-blurred vision, Chen Lang slowed down his pace.
Besides the familiar tenderness and worry on the man's face, there was also the unfamiliar indifference and coldness that belonged to a monster and was engraved deep in his flesh and blood.
Even those red eyes that were as bright as the sun looked weird and crazy because they were facing away from the sun.
