Chapter 221 The Bound Person

Shen Yisui seemed to hear the sound of Cheng Jingyi's heartbeat in his chest. His chest was still rising and falling, facing Shen Yisui's hole with most of his flesh pierced through.

"Ah... I am indeed afraid and timid. Shen Heng, the zombies, the military... they all want me dead, so of course I am afraid."

Shen Yisui approached Cheng Jingyi and asked slowly, "So what are you going to do this time? Say I'm dead so I can stay away from Shen Heng?"

There was a chill in his tone, tinged with a similar emotion as before.

Cheng Jingyi didn't say much. He touched Shen Yisui's cheek in the dark, and was startled when he felt the latter approaching him. Then he wanted to turn his head away as usual.

"Shen Yisui, I didn't eat that piece of meat." Cheng Jingyi said suddenly.

Shen Yisui's body stiffened slightly, and it took him a long time to understand what Cheng Jingyi was talking about. He turned his head and clearly felt that the palm of his hand touching his cheek was covered with a thin layer of silk.

"I bit it, but didn't swallow it. I spit it out after I got out."

Shen Yisui was silent for a moment: "...Why didn't you say it then?"

"Because I don't like you." Cheng Jingyi sneered, "You had such a bad attitude towards me at that time, don't you know it in your heart? I just deliberately annoyed you."

"..." Shen Yisui didn't believe his words at all. He took Cheng Jingyi's hand that was rubbing his face and said, "Nonsense, you didn't tell me afterwards."

Cheng Jingyi didn't say anything else. Shen Yisui took his hand away for only a few seconds, and then Cheng Jingyi put his hands on both sides of his cheeks again.

He seemed dissatisfied and rubbed his almost skinny cheeks hard under his palms.

Shen Yisui: "..."

"Shen Yisui, don't conflict with Shen Heng." Cheng Jingyi's voice lowered. He was a little disappointed and leaned his forehead on the side of Shen Yisui's shoulder listlessly.

Shen Yisui knew that Cheng Jingyi was going to say this. He became angry and sneered, "Is that why you told me this?"

"I'm not asking you to give in, but Shen Heng is different from the others." Cheng Jingyi noticed that Shen Yisui's attitude was gradually cooling down. He was silent for a second or two, and then he said, "You may not believe me, but Shen Heng has a buff, which is a colored ball system."

Survive and survive: "!!!"

Shen Yisui was also stunned when he heard this. He pressed down the sword hidden in his sleeve and said in a daze, "...what?"

Cheng Jingyi embraced Shen Yisui's body, his palm facing down, covering the hole in Shen Yisui's chest.

He slowly frowned and said, "That system is different from ours. It comes from outer space and is another force. If you continue to oppose Shen Heng, it will attack you in order to protect its host."

Cheng Jingyi whispered some information about the colored ball system. Cheng Jingyi's understanding of the colored balls' ability to attract and seduce people exceeded Shen Yisui's imagination.

"Its function is to attract the attention of others, making the host sought after and loved by others, and eventually becoming the focus of the crowd and the center of the world." Cheng Jingyi said with his eyes narrowed.

"Shen Heng's ability is to make plants grow. This ability is not very strong and does not have much attack power. He can now become one of the important members of the military. The color ball system probably helped him a lot."

Cheng Jingyi spoke in a steady tone, and those seemingly false and crazy words came out of his mouth logically, revealing some hidden corners invisibly.

Shen Yisui listened to Cheng Jingyi's words before asking, "How do you know so much? You... recognize it?"

Cheng Jingyi fell into a long silence. No one knew what he was thinking about. The breath from his nose fell faintly on Shen Yisui's collarbone.

"Yes... I know it." Cheng Jingyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said, "Its previous host was me."

Survive and survive: "!!!"

Shen Yisui pressed the "Gochu Toutuosheng" button again. He felt Cheng Jingyi's breathing gradually slowing down to an imperceptible level, and he even detected a slight tremor and shiver from it.

Shen Yisui lowered his eyes, his fingertips shuttled through Cheng Jingyi's messy black hair, and hugged his body tightly: "Now... why is it like this?"

Shen Yisui didn't understand the rules between systems. But Gu Jue Tou Sheng Jian had taught him some knowledge about this. In the same world, a conscientious system would only bind to one host, unless the host died, then the system would leave the world.

Unless the host dies...

Cheng Jingyi closed his eyes and said, "After the end of the world, it thought I was eaten by zombies, so it found another person to be its host. He is Shen Heng."

He paused for a few seconds before continuing, "I am not the biological child of the Cheng family."

Cheng Jingyi never thought things would turn out this way.

After the Cheng family's child went missing, the Cheng couple adopted the young Cheng Jingyi.

They originally wanted to find a child who was about the same age as Cheng Luan, but when they saw that Cheng Jingyi looked somewhat similar to them, they simply chose him.

Cheng Jingyi's first few years were relatively smooth. He was handsome, his academic performance was always among the best, and he was deeply loved by the Cheng couple.

Until the Cheng family found their biological child.

Whether it is Shen Yisui or Shen Heng, after they return to the Cheng family, they will replace Cheng Jingyi's original position in the family.

Cheng Jingyi had heard the conversation between the Cheng couple. After they took Shen Heng back, they were a little hesitant about how to arrange for Cheng Jingyi.

Cheng Jingyi didn't know where to go. The Cheng family was his shelter and the family he had raised with great difficulty over the years, but he was ultimately an outsider and Shen Heng was the one who truly belonged to the Cheng family.

Cheng Jingyi often had trouble sleeping late at night because of this, and it was at this time that the colorful ball came to him.

It was undoubtedly very good at capturing people's feelings of uneasiness and anxiety. Soon after it came to Cheng Jingyi's side, it quickly comforted Cheng Jingyi.

Cheng Jingyi still remembers what it looked like when he first saw the colorful balls. He was still young at that time, and when he saw the colorful balls he thought he saw a rainbow formed by flowing lights.

However, the colorful ball was different from what Cheng Jingyi had imagined. Although its light was brilliant, it could not last long and dimmed within a dozen seconds.

The colorful ball was covered with cracks, and the mechanical sounds inside were squeaking, as if it was sounding an alarm or calling for help.

[Why...why is it like this...I won't care about you anymore, I won't care about you anymore...]

The cracks on its body grew larger, and it froze and fell onto Cheng Jingyi's desk.

Cheng Jingyi was startled. He picked up the ball and looked at it for a long time, then hid it in his room.

About three or four days later, Caiqiu woke up again. At that time, Shen Heng had just left the orphanage and returned to the Cheng couple's home.
