Chapter 50 Heartbeat
Yan Chu: "This reason sounds too casual."
"Oh?" Gu Qinyuan glanced at her, "Didn't you use this random excuse to put me off before?"
Yan Chu: “…”
Seeing Yan Chu speechless, Gu Qinyuan couldn't help but smile: "If you must say something, you don't have to explain."
Yan Chu: "Then they asked me what to do?"
"They won't ask." Gu Qinyuan said lightly.
"Why?" Yan Chu didn't understand.
A cool breeze blew in the middle of the night. Gu Qinyuan stopped and raised his hand to gently touch her head.
"Yan Chu, you always seem to forget that this is the end of the world."
When Yan Chu heard this, he puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction: "How could I forget?"
Gu Qinyuan raised his lips with a half-smile: "What do you think is the most important thing for a person to survive in the apocalypse?"
Yan Chu clenched his fists: "Strong fighting power!"
"No," Gu Qinyuan's eyes deepened, "It's self-knowledge."
Yan Chu was stunned.
Self-knowledge?
"In this team, you are a leader with great abilities. Others want to rely on you and survive, so naturally they won't comment on your affairs, let alone question you."
Yan Chu was stunned when he heard this, and quickly signaled him to stop:
"Wait, when did I become a leader?"
Gu Qinyuan glanced at her nonchalantly.
"Aren't you the one who holds the final say in this team?"
Yan Chu: ???
Is this true?
Perhaps the shock on Yan Chu's face was too obvious, Gu Qinyuan sighed subtly and began to list them one by one:
"When Chen Qianxing suggested going to rescue Su Shu, no one was willing. It was only because you decided to go that we went."
Well, it seems that after she agreed, Lu Yuanze and Gu Qinyuan also agreed, and in the end everyone went.
Does this count?
"When everyone was hesitating about the next destination, it was you who decided to choose Yue City as the destination."
That's what Luo Yu said about trying to find her family...
"It was you who decided to rest in the villa area."
Because it does seem safe over there...
"No matter what your intentions are, everyone has become accustomed to following your orders."
As Yan Chu listened, he felt less and less confident in his rebuttal.
"Oh, there's another interesting thing. When Lu Yuanze wanted you to go with him, you said, 'It's not me who goes with you, it's you who goes with me.'"
Gu Qinyuan lowered his head and moved closer to her: "The moment Lu Yuanze nodded in agreement, you already became the person with the most say in the team."
Yan Chu: “…”
She didn't think so much at all, she just simply didn't want to be someone else's pendant.
Is this seen by others as a struggle for the right to speak?
Gu Qinyuan looked at her changing expression and continued, "Do you know why Xiao Huai insisted on taking Su Shu away?"
After hearing what was said, Yan Chu became a little uncertain: "Isn't it because Xiao Huai wants to spend time alone with Su Shu?"
"Not exactly."
Gu Qinyuan raised his hand to cover her face, and slowly stroked her soft and fair cheek with his fingertips.
"Xiao Huai knows clearly that neither he nor Su Shu has a say in this team. He doesn't want to listen to you willingly, so he must take Su Shu away."
Yan Chu opened his eyes wide.
Gu Qinyuan said calmly, "So you understand? You don't have to explain at all. Those people know their own limitations and won't ask you."
"If someone really asks," Gu Qinyuan narrowed his dark eyes, a hint of danger in them, "this kind of idiot with no self-awareness should be killed directly."
Yan Chu: “…”
As she was sorting out the information in her mind, she suddenly realized the problem.
"That's not right. Then why did you ask me all sorts of questions every day before? Where is your self-awareness?"
Gu Qinyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Of course it's because I'm much stronger than them."
Yan Chu: “…”
Indeed, it cannot be refuted.
It was late at night and the dew was heavy. The few lights that were on just now had gone out one after another, and only the ubiquitous surveillance cameras were flashing red lights.
In the silent night, you can occasionally hear the howling of zombies, which sounds vague and distant.
Gu Qinyuan turned his head to look, and a dark light suddenly flashed in his deep black eyes.
"Do you think it's safe here?"
Yan Chu didn't expect Gu Qinyuan to ask this suddenly.
This shelter must be a very safe place for ordinary people, but not for her.
Whether it is high walls and iron fences, all-round surveillance, or prison guards patrolling everywhere.
All the defense measures here are used to defend against ordinary people and ordinary zombies.
Once a powerful mutant or mutated zombie appears, the defense here will be no different from paper.
It breaks if poked and shatters if touched.
As a person with special abilities, Gu Qinyuan must be the one who knows this best.
"At least it's safe now," Yan Chu lowered his eyes. "If it were somewhere else, I wouldn't be able to walk and chat so confidently."
Gu Qinyuan's eyes were as deep as a pool: "That's true."
Although it is summer, the wind is still a bit cool late at night.
Yan Chu subconsciously took two steps towards Gu Qinyuan, but she didn't expect that Gu Qinyuan would naturally hold her hand and wrap her whole hand in it.
She looked at the place where their hands were connected and whispered, "Your hands are so cold."
She had discovered before that Gu Qinyuan's body temperature seemed to be much colder than that of ordinary people.
The corners of Gu Qinyuan's lips curled up slightly.
"No way, it's innate."
The faint moonlight cast a shadow on his eyelids, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.
Yan Chu raised his eyes to look at his handsome profile. He was just standing there, but he looked like a carefully painted painting, so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she quickly looked away.
"I'm a little sleepy... Well, let's go back."
"Okay, let's go."
Fortunately, Gu Qinyuan didn't seem to notice the strangeness in her words. He just held her hand and walked back.
Yan Chuyi wanted to leave while complaining in his heart.
What is she doing? Don’t be tempted by the paper man!
When they returned to the brick-red building where they lived, the two passed by a thin middle-aged man who was going downstairs.
The man seemed to live on the third floor. He walked hurriedly and looked pale.
Yan Chu paused and looked at the man's back with some confusion until he disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Seeing that she was staring at the man, Gu Qinyuan squeezed her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Chu retracted his gaze and shook his head: "Nothing."
It's strange, why does it look familiar?
It seemed like she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't know anyone in this world.
