Chapter 213 The Past

Cheng Jingyi's dark pupils followed the direction of Shen Yisui's finger. He lowered his eyes to look at Shen Yisui's fingers. The pale fingertips were stained with blood, which was extremely eye-catching.

Cheng Jingyi unconsciously recalled some distant memories. He looked silently at Shen Yisui's gray pupils, trying to find some clues from his actions.

Shen Yisui's eyes were closed without blinking, and he didn't show any abnormal behavior like he did when he was a child. He rubbed Cheng Jingyi's chest carefully, cautiously even though he was blind.

"Don't stare at me, I'll be nervous." Shen Yisui applied anesthetic to Cheng Jingyi's wound. He wiped off the blood with a cotton swab, cut off the rotten meat and threw it into the trash can.

Cheng Jingyi sneered, his eyes still: "How do you know I'm looking at you? Can you see it?"

"I can't see it, but I can feel it." Shen Yisui said, twisting Cheng Jingyi's head to the other side, "Don't move."

The scalpel had cut open the gunshot wound, and blood was flowing down the skin. Cheng Jingyi lost consciousness in his chest due to the anesthetic. He felt the fluid flowing through his body and suddenly said, "You don't need to use anesthetic on me. I'm a zombie, I don't look like..."

"Okay, no need next time."

Cheng Jingyi choked on his words, bit his back teeth, and said bitterly, "Who will do this to you next time?"

Shen Yisui paused in his movements, frowned and raised his chin slightly, quite confused about the meaning of Cheng Jingyi's words.

The bullet had been taken out by Shen Yisui. He wiped the blood around the wound with a cotton swab and touched it lightly with his fingertips.

The effect of the anesthetic had worn off. Cheng Jingyi felt the pain at the muzzle of the gunshot and said to Shen Yisui, "It's been taken out. No need to suture. My body can heal itself."

"There's still some poison left in there." Shen Yisui put the tweezers aside, bent over and stood in front of Cheng Jingyi, and said, "It's not over yet."

Cheng Jingyi didn't care: "Don't worry about the poison, it can't hurt me."

"That's not necessarily true." Shen Yisui's fingertips hadn't left yet, and he said calmly, "When you were shot, didn't you know that there was a corrosive venom inside?"

Cheng Jingyi: “…”

"What do you want to say?"

Shen Yisui said nothing more. He stood in front of Cheng Jingyi and reached out to pull the chair next to him: "I said, I can take it."

"Shen Yisui, you..." Cheng Jingyi only felt a shadow cast in front of him. His fingertips curled up, and when the wound was dull and painful, it was slowly covered by a layer of dampness and strange feeling.

Cheng Jingyi lowered his eyes and looked at the figure on his chest. His facial lines tensed up and after a moment he turned away with a gloomy look.

"…Are you done yet?"

The dampness on his chest left, and Shen Yisui turned his head and spat the dirty blood in his mouth to the side. Without saying a word, he wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and covered it again.

Cheng Jingyi groaned for some reason, the veins on his arms bulged, and his hands squeezed the sheets on the bed so hard that they were wrinkled and deformed.

"Okay, it's okay."

It was only a dozen seconds, but it seemed unusually long. Cheng Jingyi's palms were stained with sweat. When he heard Shen Yisui's voice, he suddenly pulled up his clothes.

The wound still felt a little painful, Cheng Jingyi's face was uncertain, he looked at Shen Yisui and asked, "Who allowed you to lick it?"

"..." Shen Yisui felt no discomfort at all. His lips were slightly red as he said, "If I don't lick it, how can I suck it?"

Cheng Jingyi sneered, stared at Shen Yisui for a moment, and wiped the remaining blood stains on his lips with his fingertips.

"I'm going to go out for a walk today." Shen Yisui raised his head, his eyes bulging upwards, his pupils still dim, "I drugged you."

"Are you making an equal exchange with me?" Cheng Jingyi glanced at him.

"Whatever you want to think." Shen Yisui sat down next to Cheng Jingyi. He crumpled the tissue and repeated, "I'm going to go out for a walk."

Cheng Jingyi looked at him silently. The pain in his chest had eased. At the same time, the cup of hot water placed on the bedside table also quietly cooled down and lost its original temperature.

Shen Yisui did not take this opportunity to attack Cheng Jingyi, but instead treated him, which was quite unexpected for Cheng Jingyi.

"Okay." Cheng Jingyi narrowed his eyes, held Shen Yisui's hand, and said, "But you can't see with your eyes, I want to accompany you."

Shen Yisui's fingers moved twice unnaturally, his eyelids lifted and drooped, and finally he hummed.

Since then, a certain routine has been formed. When Shen Yisui behaves well, Cheng Jingyi will let him go for a walk, and Cheng Jingyi will follow him during the whole process, saying that he is accompanying him, but in fact he is monitoring him.

Shen Yisui didn't care. He would usually just walk around for a minute or two and then go back to his room obediently.

But during the last period of time, Shen Yisui's condition was visibly very bad.

His desire to escape from the zombie base became stronger and stronger, and it even showed on his face. The coldness in their conversation was clearly audible, and Cheng Jingyi could clearly sense Shen Yisui's alienation and hatred towards him.

Although this was how their relationship started.

But after the barriers between them gradually melted away, the high wall that was rebuilt still made Cheng Jingyi feel annoyed. Hidden behind it was more inexplicable helplessness and difficulty in control.

Shen Yisui is not someone that Cheng Jingyi can easily control. He is a man of deep thoughts and ruthless methods. Everything that has happened between him and Cheng Jingyi so far is just a game.

And now... Shen Yisui suddenly withdrew from the game early, not wanting to continue with him.

He wanted to leave the zombie base and return to the human headquarters. He also wanted to leave Cheng Jingyi behind and never see him again.

What about the hugs and kisses? What about their nights of tangling, breathing and touching, healing and hurting?

In fact, the answer already exists.

Cheng Jingyi knew it clearly in his mind that these... were just Shen Yisui's means of using him to escape from the zombie base.

After all, he is a living person, not a zombie.

Who wants to share a bed with a zombie? Cheng Jingyi might get up in the middle of the night and gnaw Shen Yisui until nothing is left.

Cheng Jingyi showed sarcasm on his face. The image of Shen Yisui's corpse hanging on the ice edge flashed before his eyes again. His face was pale and blood was flowing. His gray eyes looked straight at Cheng Jingyi with a somewhat helpless look.

He wanted to escape so badly and was so calculating, but he died less than ten minutes after he got out.

Just stupid.

Cheng Jingyi felt a splitting headache for some reason. He reached out and pulled Shen Yisui, who was sleeping inside, over to him and pressed his palm on the center of his forehead.

The skin there was smooth and without any flaws. Cheng Jingyi then stroked downwards again, and without much effort he felt the hollow space on Shen Yisui's chest that was hidden by his clothes.

Those pictures are not fake, they are real.

Cheng Jingyi smelled the blood on Shen Yisui. He withdrew his hand and heard a sudden muffled groan from Shen Yisui.

"pain……"

Cheng Jingyi was unmoved. He had just knocked Shen Yisui unconscious not long ago, and he didn't expect that he would wake up so soon.

"Just bear with the pain. I don't have any crystal cores anymore." Cheng Jingyi hugged him and pulled down his clothes to cover his broken chest.

Shen Yisui frowned, his forehead pressed tightly against Cheng Jingyi's chest, his eyes moistened again: "...Okay."

Cheng Jingyi felt his heart tremble. He snorted coldly and ignored Shen Yisui: "You are just good at pretending."

Shen Yisui didn't say anything else. He breathed heavily and pressed his cheek against the skin on Cheng Jingyi's chest. Unlike the coldness on his face, Cheng Jingyi's body temperature was always a few degrees higher than his.

Cheng Jingyi saw Shen Yisui fall asleep again, so he looked away. After closing his eyes for a few minutes, Cheng Jingyi climbed out of bed quickly and decisively.

He took the plastic bag hood he had thrown away earlier, turned around, closed the door and locked it. The sound of the key turning was heard, and soon the door lock made a click, and then the footsteps outside gradually faded away.

"Poor student, get up." Gouqiu Tusheng floated down from the air.

Shen Yisui remained in the same posture as before, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was still drowsy and had not yet awakened.

"Get up!" Gouqiu Tousheng looked at the numbers on his data board, which showed that Shen Yisui's mental state was within a good range and he could study.

Gouqiu Tousheng suddenly increased his weight and smashed down. Shen Yisui seemed to sense something and immediately turned over and sat on the bed.

"I just fainted." Shen Yisui rubbed his forehead, "Sorry, what did you say just now?"

Just try to survive: "?"

"You are just pretending! I know you are awake!" Gouqie Tousheng said unhappily, "Hurry up and get up and study!"

Shen Yisui sighed: "Xiao Gou Gou, I don't have the time and energy now, please let me rest for a while."

"Do you know how dangerous it is out there?! The badge on my body has detected a dangerous factor and has turned bright red!"

Shen Yisui was a little skeptical: "Are you talking about... another system?"
