Chapter 45 The Most Important Person

Several people were strolling around slowly, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, as if they were trying to find some clues in this seemingly peaceful environment. They walked and stopped, sometimes stopped to observe, and sometimes communicated in low voices.

Jiang Yuan carefully used his special powers to carefully explore the surroundings for signs of zombies. After a careful search, they finally confirmed that there were no zombies here for the time being, so they decided to return to the camp.

On the way back, Li Lingyu's thoughts were always lingering on the words Dong Junjie had said before: "Is this your girlfriend?" This sentence was like a spell, constantly echoing in his mind.

To be honest, even Li Lingyu himself couldn't tell exactly what kind of feelings he had for Jiang Xianchuan in his heart. He only knew that he liked being with Jiang Xianchuan very much.

This feeling did not come from other complicated factors, but simply because Jiang Xianchuan was the first person who was not afraid of his cold appearance and eccentric personality, and always took the initiative to talk to him, trying to find various interesting topics to break the silence.

Whenever he was with Jiang Xianchuan, Li Lingyu could always feel an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort. He was intoxicated by the atmosphere and was reluctant to leave.

However, whenever he saw someone approaching Jiang Xianchuan, the nameless fire in his heart would burn fiercely and it was hard to contain it. It felt like something he cherished was in danger of being snatched away by others, which made him panic. Just like what he saw today, when Jiang Xianchuan and Lin Pianyue were talking and laughing, he wanted to rush forward and pull Jiang Xianchuan into his arms, and loudly declare to Lin Pianyue: "He is mine." However, in the end, rationality successfully suppressed the impulse of emotion, allowing him to remain calm.

Jiang Xianchuan was quick to notice Li Lingyu's unusual mood swings, so he asked with concern: "Yubao, what's wrong? You don't look very happy. Did something happen?"

Li Lingyu shook his head slightly. At this moment, his heart was in a mess. He had no idea what kind of mood he should be in to face the person who was haunting him.

"Tell me about it." Jiang Xianchuan hurriedly called out to Li Lingyu, who was about to turn around and go back to his room, with a hint of urgency and curiosity in his tone, "I really have nothing to do." However, Jiang Xianchuan obviously did not intend to stop there. He stared at Li Lingyu's back and continued to ask: "Really? Why do I feel that you must be hiding something from me?"

Facing Jiang Xianchuan's insistence, Li Lingyu just turned his head silently, deliberately avoiding Jiang Xianchuan's inquiring gaze, and replied lightly: "Yes, really."

Seeing Li Lingyu's attitude, Jiang Xianchuan sighed helplessly, but he also understood that further questioning would probably be futile, so he said: "Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you anymore. I'm going to go play with Sister Pianyue, you should have a good rest." After that, Jiang Xianchuan made a gesture to leave.

But just when he took a few steps, he suddenly felt a strong hand tightly grabbing his wrist.

Jiang Xianchuan turned around in shock, only to see Li Lingyu standing behind him with a serious face. His eyes, which were usually clear and bright, were now bloodshot and looked a little red and swollen. Li Lingyu bit his lip and asked word by word, "Who...are you going to see?"

Jiang Xianchuan was a little confused by Li Lingyu's sudden action. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and quickly replied: "Lin Pianyue, that's the girl we went out with today."

What Jiang Xianchuan never expected was that after hearing this name, Li Lingyu's face instantly turned pale as paper. He slowly raised his hand and actually covered Jiang Xianchuan's mouth.

At this moment, Li Lingyu's eyes were filled with tears, as if they would burst at any moment. He just stared at Jiang Xianchuan and pleaded with a trembling voice, "Don't go, okay?"

Jiang Xianchuan stared at Li Lingyu in astonishment, and was at a loss for a moment. He had never seen Li Lingyu so vulnerable and helpless before, and he was panicked and said loudly: "I won't go! Don't cry! I'm wrong not to go!"

Having said that, he held Li Lingyu tightly in his arms and patted his back gently, as if this could give him some comfort and strength.

At the same time, Jiang Xianchuan clearly felt that Li Lingyu's body was trembling slightly, like a frightened deer.

After a long while, Li Lingyu slowly raised his head and said in a crying and weak voice: "Chuanchuan, my head hurts so much, and there are so many voices talking in my ears." Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan's heart suddenly tightened. This was the first time that Li Lingyu called out his name in person since he knew him.

He asked anxiously, "Do you want to take medicine?" Li Lingyu nodded gently.

Jiang Xianchuan quickly took Li Lingyu's hand, walked into his room carefully, and helped him sit down on the bed. Then he asked with concern: "Where is the medicine? I'll find it for you." Li Lingyu pointed to a cabinet not far away and replied weakly: "In the cabinet over there, on the second floor."

Jiang Xianchuan hurried to the cabinet and stretched out his hand to open the cabinet door. However, when he saw the cabinet filled with various medicines, he was stunned.

Just when he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to choose, Li Lingyu, enduring the headache, staggered over, grabbed a handful of medicine without saying a word, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it forcefully.

After taking the medicine, Li Lingyu hugged Jiang Xianchuan tightly again, buried his head in each other's arms, and said in a muffled voice: "Stay with me." There was a hint of grievance and dependence in his voice.

Jiang Xianchuan felt his emotions and responded softly: "Okay, okay, I'll stay with you." At the same time, he patted Li Lingyu's back gently, as if comforting a child.

However, after a while, Li Lingyu suddenly raised his head, stared straight at Jiang Xianchuan, and asked, "Who are you thinking about?" Seeing that Jiang Xianchuan did not answer immediately, Li Lingyu could not help but tighten his hands, increase the strength of his hands, and his tone became a little anxious: "Is it Lin Pianyue? Or someone else? Tell me quickly!"

Facing Li Lingyu's sudden question, Jiang Xianchuan was stunned at first, then quickly shook his head and denied: "No, no, of course I miss you."

After hearing this answer, Li Lingyu's tense body relaxed a little, and the expression on his face improved a little, but there was still some doubt in his eyes.

Just when the two were silent, there was a sudden knock on the door. "Shall I go open the door?" Jiang Xianchuan asked tentatively. "Yes." Li Lingyu responded, but he had no intention of letting go of her embrace.

Helplessly, Jiang Xianchuan could only sigh, bite the bullet and hold Li Lingyu in his arms, staggering towards the door. Every step seemed very difficult, but even so, he still did not let go of the person in his arms.

Finally reaching the door, Jiang Xianchuan took great effort to free one hand to open the door. Standing outside the door was Shi Yi. When he saw the two people hugging each other tightly in the room, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Oh, did I disturb your sweetness?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan instantly got angry like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and retorted loudly: "What sweet or not? Don't talk nonsense! What are you doing here?" Seeing this, Shi Yi quickly put away his smile and explained seriously: "Well... I have something to talk to you about." After saying that, he cautiously glanced at Li Lingyu who was still in Jiang Xianchuan's arms.

Li Lingyu pretended not to hear anything. He just lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on Jiang Xianchuan's face with obsession, as if he could never look enough.

Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Shi Yi came back to her senses and said softly, "Maybe next time. It's not really a big deal. You guys go ahead and do your work." After she finished speaking, she reached out to close the door and turned to leave.

At this time, Jiang Xianchuan, although he felt that he had not done anything out of line, inexplicably felt a guilty feeling as if he had been caught cheating.

When the door was closed and they were the only two people in the room, Li Lingyu was the first to break the silence and asked, "Is it time for you to talk to me?"

Jiang Xianchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, then what do you want to say?"

Li Lingyu thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "What is your relationship with Lin Pianyue?"

Jiang Xianchuan smiled lightly upon hearing this and replied, "We are just friends. We are going out to explore together. Are we teammates fighting side by side?"

After hearing this answer, Li Lingyu was not completely relieved, and continued to ask: "What about me? In your heart, what am I? Am I just an ordinary friend of yours?"

Jiang Xianchuan raised his lips, his smile deepened, and he said slowly: "Of course not, you are not only my friend, but also the most important person to me."
