Chapter 77 You Are Just an Ordinary Friend
"I know that everyone has some opinions about cooperating with zombies. After all, it does sound a bit unbelievable. However, we currently know too little about the situation of those superpower contenders. If we want to gain the upper hand in this fierce battle, I think we may really need Qi'an's help." Jiang Xianchuan said this with a serious face, and looked at everyone present with a heavy gaze.
At this time, Bai Su frowned and interrupted, "But if other people in the camp knew that we were cooperating with the zombies, the consequences would be disastrous! It would definitely cause great panic and might even cause the order of the entire camp to fall into chaos."
At this moment, Qi An, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Don't worry, although I'm a zombie, I don't have a hobby of eating people. You don't have to worry so much." Although he said this, everyone's hearts were still filled with doubts and uneasiness.
Yi Yuzhi shook his head, expressing that he found it difficult to accept: "I still can't completely trust a zombie, but since this is the decision made by the battalion commander, I can only follow it." Shi Yi, who was sitting in the corner, was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said firmly: "Xianchuan, I support your idea." Immediately afterwards, Li Lingyu nodded without hesitation to show his support for Jiang Xianchuan.
Seeing that everyone had finally reached a consensus, Jiang Xianchuan stood up and announced decisively: "Okay, that's settled, let's adjourn the meeting." Then he turned around and left the meeting room. However, what he didn't expect was that Qi'an followed closely behind him.
Noticing someone following him, Jiang Xianchuan stopped and turned around to ask, "Qian, is there anything else?" Qi'an nodded, showing a pitiful look, and said softly, "Brother, you see I don't even have a place to live now, shouldn't you arrange something for me?"
Jiang Xianchuan thought for a while and then replied, "Okay, then you can live next door to me for the time being. This way, it will be convenient for me to keep an eye on your movements at any time." Just like that, Qi'an followed Jiang Xianchuan to the room next to him.
"Brother, can I come to you if I need anything?" Qi An stopped Jiang Xianchuan who was about to go back to his room, "Of course, come to me anytime if you need anything." "Then I'll be relieved." After Jiang Xianchuan returned to the room, Li Lingyu looked at him with resentment, "What's wrong, Yubao? Are you unhappy?"
Li Lingyu gently embraced Jiang Xianchuan in his arms and said softly, "You haven't had any close contact with me all day today." Jiang Xianchuan's face flushed and he responded coquettishly, "Okay, okay, I'll come and hug you right away." As he said that, he also stretched out his arms and hugged Li Lingyu tightly back.
However, at this moment, Li Lingyu suddenly seemed to remember something, and muttered with a hint of jealousy: "Hmph, you've been too close to that Qi'an recently!" Jiang Xianchuan hurriedly coaxed: "Oh, baby, don't worry, he is no match for you." Hearing Li Lingyu's answer, Jiang Xianchuan felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
The two of them hugged each other quietly like this, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. After a long while, Li Lingyu lowered his head slightly and asked cautiously in an extremely gentle voice: "Chuanchuan, how do you feel about me...?" This question was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the original tranquility.
After hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan fell into deep thought. To be honest, he had never seriously thought about what kind of feelings he had for Li Lingyu. All along, he simply thought that they were just very good friends.
But now think about it carefully, do ordinary good friends really hug each other often and be as close as they are?
After a long silence, Jiang Xianchuan finally spoke slowly: "To be honest, I'm not quite sure what kind of feelings I have for you." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lingyu, who was originally full of expectations, couldn't help but get excited.
Because in his opinion, since Jiang Xianchuan cannot clearly define this feeling, it means that the relationship between them has gone beyond the scope of ordinary friends and is no longer limited to friendship, right?
So, Li Lingyu took a deep breath and continued to ask: "Do you like me a little bit? I'm not talking about the kind of liking between friends." Faced with Li Lingyu's direct and bold question, Jiang Xianchuan was completely stunned.
He stared with his eyes wide open, thinking to himself: Does Li Lingyu think he is not a straight man? Why would he suddenly ask such a strange question? All of a sudden, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Don't rush to answer me, you can think about it slowly." After saying that, Li Lingyu went to prepare dinner. Jiang Xianchuan began to think about this problem seriously. It seemed that he was indeed becoming more and more dependent on Li Lingyu. Every time he couldn't help but want to get closer to him. He originally had no patience for coquettishness and jealousy, but every time Li Lingyu was jealous, he would just think he was cute. Does this count as love?
Jiang Xianchuan, who had been thinking hard for a long time but still had no clue, finally made up his mind to find Shi Yi to talk about his confusion after dinner. He came to Shi Yi, and after telling him his confusion, he sighed and said, "Alas, this matter really makes me unable to figure it out."
Hearing this, Shi Yi couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and blurted out: "Ah? I always thought that you two have been together for a long time, but you just didn't tell me." While saying this, Shi Yi stared at Jiang Xianchuan with surprise on his face.
Jiang Xianchuan waved his hands and explained: "No way! He and I are just ordinary friends!" However, Shi Yi did not believe him and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Really? But if you really only regard him as a friend, then how do you explain your behavior of coming to me today? Doesn't this mean that you don't completely regard him as an ordinary friend?"
Shi Yi's question left Jiang Xianchuan speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to respond. He could only lower his head silently and fall into deep thought.
Seeing this, Shi Yi continued, "Xianchuan, I know you. You always like to joke around. But to be honest, a true friendship is not as sweet and sticky as you and Li Lingyu are all day long."
