Chapter 222 Color Ball System
Cheng Jingyi was still faced with the choice of adoptive parents. He stood on the stairs and looked down, and saw that Shen Heng had already returned to the Cheng family. They were very intimate when talking, and they were really a family.
It took the ball a moment to understand everything. Its body was severely damaged, but it also retained some consciousness. Seeing this, it used its remaining energy to bind Cheng Jingyi.
[Don't abandon me.]
It murmured in the air.
The crisis facing Cheng Jingyi was suddenly reversed. The Cheng couple, who had been hesitant before, finally decided to continue to adopt Cheng Jingyi.
Cheng Jingyi looked at the colorful ball. The light emanating from the ball was dazzling. It leaned tightly against Cheng Jingyi and repeated the same sentence.
[Don't abandon me.]
Soon it crashed again and fell from the sky.
This colored ball system was undoubtedly severely damaged by something. Cheng Jingyi didn't know how to repair it, but when he hid it, he found many black and gray cracks on it.
The surface of the system ball has an energy shield, and the material inside is probably similar to iron on Earth. Cheng Jingyi took a closer look and saw black spots on the protective surface of the ball, as if it was burned by fire.
Cheng Jingyi didn't understand the reason.
This colorful ball system has been in a drowsy state of repair during the years when it was bound to Cheng Jingyi. Its core has suffered fatal injuries and it relies on absorbing Cheng Jingyi's charm to gain energy.
Cheng Jingyi had to admit that the lottery helped him a lot in those years. His adoptive parents never gave up on him, he was a big name in school, and he even gained a lot of fans along the way.
If the end of the world had not come, he might have entered the entertainment industry.
Shen Yisui couldn't help but become interested when he heard this. He lowered his head and touched Cheng Jingyi's cheek with his hand: "Enter the entertainment industry?"
Cheng Jingyi raised his eyelids in the cramped environment of the closet: "No? My charm points were already 97 at that time."
Shen Yisui narrowed his eyes, ignoring the second half of Cheng Jingyi's words, and asked in all seriousness: "Cheng Jingyi...are you really handsome?"
"...What do you mean?" Cheng Jingyi pulled his lips, "Oh - in your eyes, I am just an ugly monster, right?"
"I didn't say that, and I can't see it." Shen Yisui rubbed the skin underneath with his fingertips. He sensed that Cheng Jingyi deliberately buried his face to the side, and said helplessly.
"Cheng Jingyi, what I said was based on the basic situation of low-level zombies, which does not include you."
Cheng Jingyi didn't answer. His hair fell down in front of his forehead. He just glanced up when he heard the words.
"If I really thought you were a monster, I wouldn't have slept with you." A male voice sounded in the darkness, and Shen Yisui touched Cheng Jingyi's face with his fingertips again, "You can't force me."
Cheng Jingyi's body froze. He suddenly remembered some things that happened a long time ago. He felt that Shen Yisui was indeed a double-faced person.
"Weren't you the one who cried the first time?" Cheng Jingyi sneered.
Shen Yisui also laughed and said, "I can't help it. You really hurt me."
Cheng Jingyi: “…”
His throat rolled twice, and after holding it in for a moment, he lowered his head and decided not to say a word.
Shen Yisui's fingers stroked his face carefully, from the forehead, the corners of the eyes, the bridge of the nose, the lips... all the way down, sensing and depicting the contours of Cheng Jingyi's facial features.
I had never done these things before, but now after trying them, I finally got a detailed portrait of the person in front of me.
Cheng Jingyi lowered his eyebrows, but he had no objection to Shen Yisui's actions. Shen Yisui's palms were cold, and he felt a bit of coolness and comfort on his face.
"I let you touch me, and you have to let me touch you too." Cheng Jingyi suddenly spoke in this brief silence.
Shen Yi paused with his hand movements.
"Let me touch your face."
Cheng Jingyi seemed to emphasize it intentionally and emphasized his tone.
Shen Yisui's expression remained unchanged. Cheng Jingyi was indeed able to detect the thing that he had been avoiding.
"Why?" Shen Yisui resumed his previous movements and continued speaking as if normal, "I can't see, so I want to know what you look like."
"It's a fair trade, a touch for a touch." Cheng Jingyi turned his eyes and said, "Otherwise, don't touch it."
"..." Shen Yisui snorted, "Let you touch it, I'll let you touch it after I'm done."
Cheng Jingyi then continued to close his eyes. He finally felt relieved and stopped arguing with Shen Yisui.
Shen Yisui still remembered what happened before. Seeing Cheng Jingyi stopped talking, he could only ask, "You haven't finished talking yet. How did the colored ball end up on Shen Heng's body?"
Cheng Jingyi's eyes were still open. When he heard Shen Yisui's question, he asked in an unclear tone, "Do you believe what I said?"
Shen Yisui nodded: "I believe it."
"Don't you think it's strange? What I said doesn't sound normal."
"... a little bit." Gouqie Tousheng moved suggestively in Shen Yisui's pocket. Shen Yisui remembered what Gouqie Tousheng had said before, and after a moment of silence, he said, "But I can accept it."
It was obvious that Gou Hu Suo Sheng didn't want others to discover its existence. It had been hanging around in front of Cheng Jingyi for quite a while, and it was unknown whether Cheng Jingyi could see its figure.
After all, Cheng Jingyi is the host who has been bound by the colored ball. He can see the colored ball, and perhaps he can also see Gouqiu Suosheng.
But Cheng Jingyi had not shown any special behavior before.
Gouqie Toutousheng had been staring at him all the way. He guessed that unless Cheng Jingyi had outstanding acting skills, based on the previous situation, he should not have noticed Gouqie Toutousheng's existence.
After hearing Shen Yisui's answer, Cheng Jingyi did not ask any more questions. He seemed to be recalling something in the past. He was silent for a long time before continuing.
"Color Ball was unconscious most of the time I was around him. He refused to talk to me and seemed very timid and withdrawn."
"It was badly injured before and has been recovering for the past few years. But it has a charming nature. Even if it does nothing, it has made me smooth sailing and loved by everyone over the years."
Shen Yisui: "..."
Cheng Jingyi didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said. He lived surrounded by people, enjoying the feeling of being sought after and being the center of attention.
"But the things these colored balls gave me are all external and unreliable." Cheng Jingyi lowered his eyes, thinking back to the past, and said, "Those are actually all empty words."
The colored balls help him attract the attention and love of others, so that he can gain a foothold in the Cheng family.
But no matter how you try to hide it, externally imposed emotions cannot overcome human nature.
After the apocalypse, zombies invaded the building, biting people and eating the flesh and blood of the living. Cheng Jingyi fled home and watched helplessly as his parents took Shen Heng back and closed the door in front of him.
