An unfamiliar, fishy smell wafted over. Advanced zombies could detect their own kind more keenly than ordinary people. Shen Heyang paused and turned abruptly. A zombie staggered onto the stairs, only a few meters away from Xu Nuo.
"No!" Shen Heyang clearly heard the boy's desperate scream. His heart, which should have rotted away long ago, suddenly felt a dense pain.
His body reacted before his brain did, and a blinding flash of lightning shot out of his hand, heading straight for the zombie's head. Shen Heyang chased after it, moving ruthlessly and delivering a clean, sharp blow.
The zombie's foul-smelling blood splattered everywhere, staining his arm. Shen Heyang's expression remained unchanged as he dragged it to the window and threw it down.
Xu Nuo was probably frightened, and he sat on the ground in a daze, his eyes red as a rabbit's. Perhaps frightened by his methods, the high-level zombie who had been so cold just now paused and turned away.
“Thank…thank you!”
A soft voice came from behind, still trembling a little. Shen Heyang paused in his steps and turned his head slowly, as if he couldn't believe it.
Xu Nuo then realized that the zombie who had just saved him was quite handsome, with deep eyes and eyebrows. He was also clean and fresh, without the rancid smell of other zombies. The shopping bag at his feet, almost overflowing, was very impressive, and it seemed that it was also a gift from him.
"Thank you," Xu Nuo was afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so he mustered up the courage again and repeated it timidly. However, the handsome Mr. Zombie was still dazed, but he didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
"Oh right... zombies can't understand," the boy said to him without any response, and then he muttered to himself to comfort himself. He didn't know that the zombie in front of him not only understood, but was also so happy that he almost suffocated.
Does this mean he can get closer? Shen Heyang thought, taking a small, tentative step forward.
Xu Nuo blinked his eyes, as if weighing the pros and cons, and spoke after a while.
"Do you want to come over?"
Subconsciously, Shen Heyang nodded vigorously. Not only did he want to go over, he also wanted to stick to you, hug you, and kiss you...
The boy didn't notice his dark look. He was simple-minded and felt a little guilty for having wrongly accused a good person. He nodded and moved his butt toward the outside.
"You... come closer."
The two sat next to each other, neither of them speaking, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Xu Nuo was still a little timid, while Shen Heyang was simply indulging in his pleasant scent.
"Gurgle gurgle," Xu Nuo's face suddenly turned red and she covered her stomach, looking at him cautiously.
"Can I eat it?"
Shen Heyang said nothing, but simply pulled the bag toward him. Xu Nuo couldn't help but smile joyfully, tearing open a bag of sandwiches and devouring them.
The lettuce inside was a little wilted, but the meat patty was still delicious. The boy ate it with great relish, and the small sandwich was quickly finished. A stream of water gushed out and landed in the boy's mouth. Xu Nuo, satisfied with his food and drink, leaned against the wall and burped.
Seeing him eating so sweetly, Shen Heyang's expression softened unconsciously.
"Do you want to drink some water?" The jade-white fingertips, as white as peeling onion roots, shook.
Shen Heyang didn't even listen to what he was saying and nodded subconsciously.
"You can understand me! You're a special zombie, right?"
The boy was very excited, and his fear just now disappeared. "Here, open your mouth."
The sweet spring water flowed into Shen Heyang's mouth, and his body, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to come alive, starting to creak and move, and his drowsy thoughts gradually became clear. Mr. Zombie was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Xu Nuo.
The spring water controlled by the boy seemed to have a special effect on him...
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Facing such a bright gaze, Shen Heyang felt that all his fatigue over the years was swept away, and nodded at him.
Xu Nuo was no longer afraid and became bolder. "What's your name? Do you remember it?"
Unfortunately, Shen Heyang was so lost in his pure eyes that he couldn't extricate himself and was stunned and didn't answer in time.
"Can't remember?"
Shen Heyang's thoughts returned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the young man's smiling voice.
"My name is Xu Nuo! So... from now on, if you follow me, your name will be Xu Yuan!"
He didn't think it was inappropriate for the tall and serious Mr. Zombie to call him by this name, and he even tilted his head happily to look at him.
"Do you understand? Haha, since you like to daydream so much, you can call me Dasha, hahahaha..."
He was happy, and Shen Heyang was happy too. He could call him whatever he wanted, Xuyuan or Dasha. It sounded like a young master in ancient times naming his adopted husband.
The man smiled and nodded.
