Yu Ling has become completely immune to Jiang Xue's frequent visits. She has truly managed to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear, recognizing her role as a third wheel and staying as far away as possible.
It's obvious they're here to see Chu Shuo; what does it have to do with me?
Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, and do whatever you want to do.
Since Chu Shuo started staying at the lab, he couldn't order Yu Ling around anymore, so he could only put on airs in front of Zhao Minghao.
Gu Qingyan only had eyes for Yu Ling and completely ignored Chu Shuo, who had become an ordinary person.
Jiang Xue's arrival could only affect Chu Shuo.
Chu Shuo no longer had the power he was so proud of, and dared not be presumptuous in front of Jiang Xue. However, he would not go to her either, as he felt that his behavior was pathetic and he did not want Jiang Xue to know his weakness.
He chose to hide.
Chu Shuo avoided Jiang Xue not because he didn't love her; on the contrary, he loved her to the core.
Just thinking about how well they were a perfect match when they fought zombies together makes his soul tremble every time he recalls those scenes.
But now, he had lost his power, and whenever he thought of this, he felt as if all his energy had been drained away, and his whole body was ice-cold. This torment of helplessness was driving him to the brink of collapse.
This wasn't because Chu Shuo was too greedy or too persistent, but rather because of his dignity as a man.
He should have known better than to give Jiang Xue that injection, even if it angered her; otherwise, he wouldn't be in so much pain now.
But he dared not reveal his weakness, especially in front of Jiang Xue. Now that things had come to this, dwelling on the past would only complicate matters further.
"Running away like this isn't a solution at all!"
Jiang Xue was furious when she saw that Chu Shuo could never seem to put her on her best behavior.
"I told you, if you promise to turn back into a human, we can be together openly. But you always run away from reality like this, never even leaving the house. This isn't a solution!"
She knew what Chu Shuo was resisting; it was simply that he felt embarrassed that a grown man like him had to rely on a girl like her in the apocalypse.
She felt she had to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Chu Shuo's silence infuriated Jiang Xue:
"Do you intend to hide in this lab forever, until you die?"
"Of course I don't want to!" Chu Shuo suddenly stood up. "But I don't want to see people looking at me like I'm trash."
He could almost picture how others would perceive him.
Oh, so this is the former zombie king! Now that he's human, he's such a useless piece of trash!
"Why are you so stubborn? You don't need to care about others, and I won't tell anyone your identity..."
"Of course, I don't need anyone's sympathy, including yours!"
Chu Shuo's attitude was very firm, and Jiang Xue was at a loss for what to do with him for a while.
What she didn't know was that Chu Shuo turned back into a human entirely because of what Yu Ling had mentioned.
Yu Ling once said that if Chu Shuo wanted to be with Jiang Xue forever, Jiang Xue would absolutely mind whether Chu Shuo's identity was a zombie or a human.
In this way, even if Chu Shuo still wanted to insist on being a zombie, and was unwilling to be controlled by anyone, and did not want to become an ant to be slaughtered at will,
He couldn't just stand by and watch Jiang Xue hold hands with another man because of his zombie body.
But if the two of them really can't be together anymore, he doesn't want to see Jiang Xue suffer and be lonely for the rest of her life.
Chu Shuo himself felt that Jiang Xue was right. As long as he could be with Jiang Xue forever, he shouldn't care about status.
He shouldn't mind being ridiculed or even scorned by others; as long as the two of them can be together, he should be happy.
But he couldn't do it.
Knowing the truth in your heart is one thing, but being able to accept it is another.
Chu Shuo clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, the pain making him much more alert.
He couldn't treat Jiang Xue like that; he needed to let her know how true his feelings for her were.
I just hope the other party can give me more time.
"I know what you're thinking."
Jiang Xue looked at the stubbornness flashing in Chu Shuo's eyes and easily guessed his thoughts.
She sighed softly, reached out to stroke his hair, and gently comforted him:
"Don't worry, I will never force you. I will wait for you, wait for you to get back on your feet!"
\"real?\"
Chu Shuo's expression showed a hint of emotion.
He always believed in Jiang Xue's promises.
"Yes, of course it's true!"
Jiang Xue nodded emphatically.
She knew that Chu Shuo would never let her down, and she was willing to wait, to keep waiting, until the day he accepted reality.
A smile finally appeared on Chu Shuo's face as he placed his hand on Jiang Xue's shoulder: "Xiao Xue, you're so kind!"
Jiang Xue hugged Chu Shuo back and whispered in his ear, "You're good too."
Chu Shuo smiled and hugged his beloved back.
Yu Ling watched for a long time, feeling as if she herself was shining brightly.
Here we go again. Why are you always standing right next to me when we argue?!
Is this meant for me?!
Zhao Minghao, that big mouth, revealed that he had awakened his superpowers.
She couldn't help but interject:
"After all this talk, it's just that Chu Shuo feels ashamed to be human, that he's not as strong as Jiang Xue, so he feels he's lost face?"
Chu Shuo rubbed his throbbing temples and replied wearily:
"It's a problem in my mind, don't worry, I won't blame you for it!"
"I believe you will rediscover the joy of being human."
