Chapter 20 Childhood Sweethearts
Seeing that Yan Chu's beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with confusion, the man was a little worried: "Yan Chu, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to you?"
Yan Chu: “…”
Something really happened.
Didn't I meet you?
By the way, is this also a plot NPC related to her?
The man lowered his eyes. “I’ve been looking for you since those zombies appeared outside, but you weren’t in school.”
Yan Chu's eyes wandered: "Is... is that so?"
While she was casually answering the man in front of her, she was calling out to Potato in her heart.
Stinky potato! Come out and help!
Potato rushed out, sweating profusely.
"Master, I just heard from the book-traveling system! His name is Lu Yuanze, and he's your childhood sweetheart. You grew up together and have a very deep bond."
Lu Yuanze has always had a crush on you, but unfortunately, you only have eyes for the heroine, He Fan. Later, in order to help you win He Fan's love, he secretly plotted to frame the heroine, but was discovered by He Fan. In the end, he was kicked out of the team and died tragically at the hands of a zombie.
Yan Chu: “…”
What a bloody plot.
It was so melodramatic that every sentence was a point of criticism, and she didn't know where to start complaining.
Besides, Lu Yuanze looks cold and aloof, so how could he be a love-brained person?
Never mind, at least he's not a bad person.
However, even after knowing his identity, Yan Chu still knew nothing about their so-called "deep affection" past.
She could only forcefully change the subject: "Why are you here?"
Lu Yuanze stared at her without blinking. "After the zombie outbreak, I asked around for news about you. Then someone said they saw you nearby, so I came here to look for you."
As he spoke, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Fortunately, I really found you."
Yan Chu: “…”
I have absolutely no idea how to answer this, it's really frustrating.
Chen Qianxing was eating the watermelon crazily while stealing glances at Gu Qinyuan.
Gu Qinyuan must have noticed such an obvious single arrow, right?
However, Gu Qinyuan just looked at them expressionlessly, with his long eyelashes drooping and his eyes cold and indifferent.
Chen Qianxing: ...?
No, buddy, someone is trying to poach your employees right in front of you, and you can still be so calm.
Chen Qianxing suddenly began to doubt his own guess.
Could it be that the relationship between Gu Qinyuan and Yan Chu is not what he thought it was?
Lu Yuanze looked around at the other people who came with Yan Chu. When he saw Gu Qinyuan, his gaze paused slightly, then he retracted his gaze and looked at Yan Chu.
"Are they all your friends?"
Yan Chu nodded: "We escaped together."
"You're not hurt?"
"Of course not, I'm fine."
Lu Yuanze's gaze fell on Yan Chu's still fair and beautiful face.
It certainly doesn't look like he's suffered.
He put away the knife in his hand and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will protect you well in the future."
Yan Chu is actually not very good at dealing with this kind of serious type.
She nodded randomly: "By the way, is there anyone else in this supermarket?"
Lu Yuanze hummed: "There are still some in the supermarket..."
"Lu Yuanze——"
The voices of others calling Lu Yuanze were heard nearby.
"Brother Lu—where have you been—!"
A man with a flashlight walked towards them.
When the flashlight swept over them, the man was startled:
"who?!"
Yan Chu subconsciously raised his hand to block the dazzling light.
Lu Yuanze walked towards the man.
"Stop taking pictures, Huzi, it's me."
The man called Hu Zi breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lu Yuanze's face clearly: "Why didn't you say anything just now? I've been looking for you for a long time."
As he spoke, he noticed the other people behind Lu Yuanze, "These people are..."
"He's my friend." Lu Yuanze said.
Hu Zi was stunned, and approached Lu Yuanze and asked, "You brought people back again, Xue Rong will make trouble again later."
"Xue Rong?" Lu Yuanze frowned. "What does this have to do with him?"
Hu Zi was afraid that others might hear it and have some thoughts, so he lowered his voice.
"Didn't he say before that you brought too many people back and there wasn't enough food in the supermarket..."
Lu Yuanze's face turned slightly cold: "It's none of his business."
Hu Zi: “…”
Come on, let’s be prepared to mediate.
When he and Lu Yuanze hid in this shopping mall, they found that there were very few zombies inside. Later they learned that this shopping mall happened to encounter a fire inspection before the end of the world and had not been open for business for several days.
Together they cleared out all the zombies in the mall and blocked all entrances and exits, making it a relatively safe shelter.
While cleaning up the zombies, they rescued Xue Rong who was almost bitten by a zombie in the supermarket.
It is said that he encountered a zombie outbreak when he came to get the account book, and was trapped in the supermarket and has not been able to get out.
The ample supplies in the supermarket ensured they had enough food and drink. As there were more and more zombies outside and only a few living people left, it was safer to stay in the supermarket rather than risk leaving.
It’s just that Lu Yuanze goes out to look for people every day.
Hu Zi didn't know who he was looking for, but occasionally, he would bring back one or two people, saying that he had rescued them on the way.
Xue Rong was very dissatisfied with them for rescuing people without authorization.
After several times, Xue Rong finally couldn't stand it anymore and had a big fight with Lu Yuanze because of this matter.
Since Xue Rong was the first person to escape into the supermarket, he regarded himself as the owner of the supermarket and forbade Lu Yuanze to continue rescuing people.
Of course, Lu Yuanze always ignored his words and continued to do as he pleased.
As a result, this time he not only brought people back, but also brought five of them back at once.
It would be strange if Xue Rong didn't get furious.
**
After the group followed Lu Yuanze for a while, before Lu Yuanze even introduced it, everyone knew where the gathering place of the survivors was.
Because there was a ball of light over there, it was particularly conspicuous in the dark supermarket.
When Yan Chu approached, he found that there were seven or eight rechargeable desk lamps scattered on the shelves around the gathering place, so that this corner could be illuminated as bright as day during a power outage.
There were several quilts and blankets on the floor, with several people lying on them, and a few others sitting and chatting together.
When they heard the footsteps, they turned their heads at the same time. However, when they found that there was a stranger following Lu Yuanze, a young man in the crowd changed his expression.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Zi immediately stepped forward and held Xue Rong's shoulders, whispering in his ear: "Calm down, those are all Lu Ge's friends."
Xue Rong's face looked very ugly.
Where does this guy get so many friends every day?
However, when he saw Yan Chu in the crowd, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
