Just as Shi Xi and Song Guizhou were about to board the green pickup truck they had taken there, Si Beiling suddenly suggested—
"I'll take you back to base."
Shi Xi was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Yes, absolutely!
Unexpectedly, the plot has developed so smoothly this time!
"...Let's not trouble you, Brother Si." Song Guizhou waved his hand politely. "We can just take the original car."
His words sounded like he was embarrassed to trouble Si Beiling.
Si Beiling didn't look at Song Guizhou, but instead looked at Shi Xi, whose face clearly said, "Then I won't be polite." "No trouble at all."
"But there are no seats in the car," Song Guizhou added. "I'm afraid there won't be enough room."
"It's better if we go back ourselves."
Si Beiling's car has four seats in total: one for the driver, one for the front passenger, and only two people can sit in the back.
The two front seats are already occupied.
Si Beiling glanced sideways at the superhuman sitting in the passenger seat.
The superhuman suddenly had a flash of inspiration, raised his hand to fan himself, and said to Si Beiling, "It's a bit stuffy in the car, Brother Si, I'll go sit in the convertible."
Song Guizhou frowned inwardly. He didn't believe that Si Beiling hadn't realized that he really didn't want to travel with him and had deliberately sent the others away. It was all intentional.
"I get carsick, so I'll sit in the front," Shi Xi said, opening the passenger door and sitting down.
Song Guizhou naturally didn't want to ride in Si Beiling's car, but seeing that Shi Xi had already fastened her seatbelt, he had no choice but to agree, "Then I'll trouble you this time, Brother Si."
Shi Xi sat in the front row.
I thought to myself.
This isn't the only time.
Si Beiling didn't speak, but simply nodded at him.
Song Guizhou was sitting in the back seat. It seemed that the car door was difficult to close, so he used a bit more force, making a rather loud sound.
Shi Xi glanced at the two main characters in the same frame through the rearview mirror and felt that this mission had gone incredibly smoothly.
Shi Xi was certain that Si Beiling had just been creating an opportunity to go back with Song Guizhou.
Song Guizhou should have seen that Si Beiling could command other superhumans with just a glance. Wasn't such a powerful and domineering superhuman leader far superior to him, a sickly ordinary person?
Anyone with a brain knows who to choose as their husband.
Moreover, in the early stages, Song Guizhou was only attracted to Si Beiling's advances. Even if he ended up with Si Beiling, it was only after he suddenly went crazy, left the Wind Taming Base, and was unfortunately killed by zombies.
To go to such lengths, Song Guizhou is truly an excellent boyfriend.
The squad leader counted the number of people and gestured to Si Beiling, who nodded slightly.
He said to the driver, "Let's go."
...
Shi Xi sat in the front row. He did seem to be in poor health, coughing occasionally.
Si Beiling was sitting in a position where he could see Shi Xi's thin back unconsciously bending when she coughed forcefully.
When Shi Xi coughed, it wasn't a deafening sound, as if she was coughing up her lungs. Instead, she covered her lips with her long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles, her voice muffled and restrained, as if she was trying her best to suppress it so as not to be heard.
Song Guizhou patted his back tenderly, wishing she were the one who was weak.
Si Beiling observed for a while, then frowned and suddenly asked, "Has your body always been like this?"
Shi Xi recalled the plot and realized that this part was only mentioned briefly in two sentences, so she replied perfunctorily, "No, it was when I was about to graduate from university that the situation got more and more serious, so I simply dropped out of school."
"It's all thanks to Song Guizhou's care." He added a compliment to Song Guizhou.
"Of course." A smile appeared on Song Guizhou's face as he recalled their university days. "After all, Xiao An is my boyfriend."
Si Beiling listened to the two showing affection in the car, paused for a moment, and asked Shi Xi, "Haven't you gone to the hospital for a checkup?"
Song Guizhou looked at Si Beiling, "I've been there; the doctor said he was weak."
Si Beiling squinted, feeling that Song Guizhou's explanation was not very reasonable, but he didn't know much about medicine, and Song Guizhou was a healing-type ability user, so he couldn't say anything.
"By the way, what did you two major in college?" Si Beiling asked, as if suddenly interested.
Shi Xi glanced at Si Beiling, then at Song Guizhou, who was sitting in the back row keeping his distance from him.
When their eyes met, they both answered at the same time:
"A student with a special talent, learning to swim."
\"medicine.\"
Si Beiling looked at Shi Xi in surprise.
"What, do I not look like it?" Facing Si Beiling's gaze, Shi Xi was not angry, but instead replied jokingly.
"No." After a pause, Si Beiling added, "You're very fair-skinned."
Shi Xi didn't understand what he meant at first.
It took me a few seconds to realize that he meant: people who learn to swim are all fair-skinned.
Upon hearing this, Song Guizhou glanced at Si Beiling with a displeased expression, but Shi Xi did not look in the rearview mirror at this moment, nor did she see his expression.
Shi Xi lowered her eyes.
A question popped into my head.
He and Song Guizhou don't seem to be from the same school, so how did they get together?
When he was going through the plot just now, he couldn't find how he and Song Guizhou became a couple.
There's not even a story about how they met.
His background as the devoted male supporting character was ridiculously simple.
...
The three returned to the base. Shi Xi received her share of the crystal cores and then pulled Song Guizhou toward the trading market.
Hot pot broth is a valuable resource in the apocalypse; it would be a waste not to add more ingredients.
Song Guizhou was exceptionally popular; almost every stall owner would give them an extra gift when they saw him.
Shi Xi sighed inwardly.
Song Guizhou is really popular.
Moreover, these people seemed quite familiar with him, greeting him with smiles.
"..." Shi Xi felt her face was almost frozen from smiling.
Fortunately, there weren't many post-apocalyptic ingredients, so they left the trading market in less than ten minutes.
After Shi Xi and Song Guizhou left, the stall owners couldn't help but mutter among themselves—
"Yu Jiu'an is really lucky; she lost her father but has a soothing boyfriend..."
Before Yu Lao's accident, Song Guizhou often came to buy things, mostly things that Yu Jiu'an liked, and occasionally he would buy some little trinkets to cheer him up.
Therefore, everyone at the Wind Training Base knows that Song Guizhou and Yu Jiu'an are a couple.
When they learned of Old Yu's passing, they thought Song Guizhou would be eager to get rid of this burden.
It now appears that their relationship has not been affected in the slightest.
The next second, a die-hard fan of Song Guizhou raised a different opinion—
"How could that be? It's definitely an act!"
"He was absolutely forced into it! Poor Brother Song, he still has to let his blood be sucked and continue taking care of this young master. He's really had the worst luck in the world!"
