Chapter 37 Let Me Love You
As night fell and the lights came on, it was time for dinner. The house was filled with alluring aromas, and the old man smiled as he brought out a series of carefully prepared delicacies from the kitchen, filling the entire table in a short while.
He enthusiastically called out to the three young people in front of him: "Come and try my cooking, kids!"
Jiang Xianchuan, Shi Yi and Li Lingyu sat around the table, looking at the table full of delicious food, and a warm feeling welled up in their hearts.
The old man still said cheerfully: "Thank you very much. Without your help, I don't know what I should do. Now my daughter's fever has finally subsided and she is gradually recovering."
Jiang Xianchuan waved his hand and said, "You are too polite, old man. This is what we should do. As long as your daughter is safe, we will be relieved."
At this moment, the old man seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I was so busy with my happiness that I didn't even have time to ask the names of the benefactors."
Jiang Xianchuan smiled slightly and replied politely: "I can't say I'm a benefactor. We are just helping each other. My name is Jiang Xianchuan, this is Shi Yi, and the one over there is Li Lingyu." After that, he introduced the two companions beside him to the old man one by one.
"My name is Zhang Lin, and this is my eldest daughter Zhang Xin." Zhang Lin smiled and pointed to the woman with neat short hair sitting at the dining table. Zhang Xin smiled at the three people in front of her and said in a clear voice, "Hello!" Her smile was like the sunlight penetrating the mist in the morning, warm and bright.
At this time, the old man next to him continued to introduce: "I have a second daughter, named Zhang Yan." After saying this, a kind look appeared on his face.
Afterwards, the three of them sat together and began to enjoy dinner and chat happily.
Zhang Lin said as he picked up some food: "I heard you were planning to go to Y City? That's a long way to go. And in my opinion, I suggest you change your route. The zombies here are not easy to deal with!"
Hearing this, Shi Yi couldn't help but frown and asked curiously, "Hmm? Why do you say that? Is there any particularly powerful zombie here?"
Before Zhang Lin could answer, Zhang Xin took over and explained, "There is indeed a very special type of zombies. I don't know if you have encountered them before. They have no limbs, but have extremely sensitive perception and can sense the presence of humans. Then, these guys can also transmit the location information of humans to other zombies, so that nearby zombies can quickly gather. Once surrounded by them, the consequences will be unimaginable!" At this point, Zhang Xin's expression became serious.
"What? There are actually such zombies?" Jiang Xianchuan widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He was simply speechless.
What on earth have these damn zombies evolved into? Since I left home, I have encountered all kinds of weird and varied types.
At this time, Zhang Xin continued, "However, there is a way to avoid attracting the attention of these zombies. In fact, it is very simple. We just need to smear the blood of the zombies on our own bodies."
Hearing this, Shi Yi couldn't help but frown, an expression of disgust and aversion appeared on her face, and she couldn't help muttering: "Oh, this is too disgusting! Just thinking about it makes people feel uncomfortable all over." As she spoke, she shuddered unconsciously, as if she could really feel the sticky and fishy feeling lingering around her body.
After finishing their sumptuous dinner, Jiang Xianchuan and Li Lingyu slowly returned to their warm room. Jiang Xianchuan gently turned his head, his eyes fell gently on Li Lingyu beside him, and asked softly: "Yubao, why have you been silent all the way? You didn't even speak during the meal."
Li Lingyu lowered his eyes slightly, his expression seemed a little cold, and he replied indifferently: "There is no special reason, I just simply don't want to talk."
Jiang Xianchuan couldn't help but smile after hearing this. He walked up to Li Lingyu, stretched out his hands and gently held his hands, waving them in the air, and said in a friendly and flattering tone: "Oh, my baby, please don't be angry. If I did something wrong and made you unhappy, just tell me, okay?"
Li Lingyu's cheeks instantly turned red, and a hint of shyness crept up on his face. However, despite the unbearable shame in his heart, he did not struggle to break away from Jiang Xianchuan's hands that were tightly holding his hands, but just let him hold them gently.
"Nothing... nothing." Li Lingyu lowered his head, his voice as soft as a mosquito, as if he was afraid that others would hear these embarrassing words.
Seeing Li Lingyu's hesitant look and unwillingness to tell the truth, Jiang Xianchuan frowned slightly, but ultimately did not continue to ask.
"Well, in that case, I won't force you to say it. But let me love you well tonight, okay?" Jiang Xianchuan raised a wicked smile and stared at Li Lingyu's face, which became more charming because of shyness.
