Chapter 24
If Jiang Ning's heart was pounding before, now, at this moment, it stopped. Qin Xu said that he was special. Was he confessing his love for her? What kind of embarrassing love talk was this?
Jiang Ning looked at Qin Xu with sparkling eyes, and his expression gradually turned shy. This man's directness really stunned him. It was embarrassing to think about it. How should he answer him? Should he accept his confession?
But is it too fast? He hasn't pursued himself seriously yet. They haven't looked at the stars and the moon, talked about poetry and songs, and the philosophy of life.
Just get together right away?
Are you going to have a wedding and get married when you get back?
But he wasn't ready yet. He was only 19 years old. Was he really going to be with Qin Xu forever? He was sure he wouldn't go out and look at the vast forest outside. It would be so easy to hang himself on this tree.
Will it make me seem easy to pursue? After I get him, Qin Xu will no longer take me seriously. I have no relatives or friends in this world. If I am bullied by him, I won’t even have my parents’ home to go back to.
As expected, we still need to be more cautious.
Jiang Ning's inner thoughts were so wonderful and complicated.
Qin Xu was stunned after blurting out these words. What was he talking about? Why did it sound like a confession? It wasn't like he liked this little zombie... Maybe, probably, probably not...
Qin Xu was also a blank slate when it came to emotions, and he wasn't quite sure what it felt like to like someone.
I just don't think it makes sense to like a little zombie. (Stupid, liking something like that doesn't make sense in the first place.)
It’s a pity that Qin Xu doesn’t understand now. He only knows that he can’t continue to lose control like this.
"Because you are different from other zombies, you have some brains and intelligence, and you don't bite people, so you are special among zombies."
Qin Xu explained without emotion like a robot, but he himself didn't quite believe it. Was this what he had just said?
Jiang Ning's inner thoughts disappeared instantly, and the sparkling light in his eyes slowly dissipated.
Qin Xu looked at him and felt that he seemed to have said something wrong, and his hand holding Jiang Ning couldn't help but clench.
Jiang Ning lowered her eyelashes. It turned out that she was just being sentimental... She smiled bitterly. Yes, he was such a powerful person, how could he like a little zombie like her?
Jiang Ning pursed his lips a little bit. No one liked him. In his original world, no one liked him because of his physical condition. Now that he had become a zombie, no one would like him even more.
In this life, he will never be held in someone's palm like a treasure, no one will fall asleep with him in someone's arms, no one will smile at him when they open their eyes in the morning, and no one will plan every day of the future with him.
Qin Xu: "I..."
Jiang Ning suddenly raised his head. He was grinning, but his eyes weren't smiling. "Well, I know. I'm just a special zombie."
He pushed Qin Xu's strong chest away and sat up straight. "So you can take me back. As long as you don't slice me up or torture me, I can cooperate with you in doing some research. It's mutually beneficial for us."
Yes, it’s mutually beneficial so we owe nothing to each other.
Jiang Ning looked at Qin Xu's hand that was holding his waist, and reached out to pull him down: "It's late, go to bed."
Since he is to be used for research, he must be useful and there is no need for him to sacrifice himself.
Jiang Ning lay down on the other side of the bed with her back to Qin Xu.
Qin Xu's hand froze as he grabbed the person. He had indeed said the wrong thing. But the little zombie's behavior, could it be that he liked him? Was he not just using him to protect him?
Thinking back to his first meeting with the little zombie, the other party's various behaviors after that made it really difficult for Qin Xu to believe that the little zombie liked him. He ran away as soon as he said he would, and everything he said after they met was just to seek his protection.
But looking at the little zombies that were distancing themselves from him, he still felt uncomfortable: "Put on clothes, it's dirty."
Jiang Ning sat up and was about to get off, but Qin Xu reacted quickly and grabbed him: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Ning stiffened her neck and replied unhappily, "I'll go sleep on the sofa! Master Qin Xu thinks I'm dirty, so I'll just sleep on the sofa. I won't be here to bother you."
He was just angry and aggrieved, he couldn't control himself. Due to physical reasons, Jiang Ning was really spoiled and had a bad temper.
Qin Xu was wronged. He was just complaining about his clothes being dirty. When did he ever complain about him being dirty?
"You were the one who said earlier that the clothes were dirty and that I shouldn't lie down in them."
"Hey~ Lord Qin Xu, do you still remember what I said? Keep it to catch me doing something wrong. Yes, it is dirty, but I just don't want to take off my clothes. It's not appropriate for a zombie like me to sleep with you." He emphasized the word "not appropriate".
Jiang Ning struggled to grab Qin Xu's hand and was about to leave.
Qin Xu had never met such a difficult person, especially after their alliance was formed, no one dared to disobey him like this.
He suddenly pulled Jiang Ning, whose back was facing him, towards him and said, "Can you please stop making trouble?"
Jiang Ning, the weakling, was dragged over and thrown into Qin Xu's arms. He glared like a fighting cock, but Qin Xu actually scolded him for bullying the zombies: "Who's making trouble? You hurt me. I'm telling you, I'm a special little zombie. You won't find another one. You'd better treat me well!"
Qin Xu was also a little angry: "That's hard to say, there are so many zombies, maybe there are more powerful than you..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Ning's hand hit him randomly, turning into a completely furry cat: "Then go find another little zombie. Get out of here. I don't want you anymore..."
The hands that were randomly clapping even slapped Qin Xu. Qin Xu's face instantly darkened. This was indeed a bit too much. He grabbed Jiang Ning's hand with a cold face. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the little zombie's face full of tears. Only his mouth kept saying stubbornly: "Get out of here now, go find whoever you want, I hate you..."
Qin Xu's eyes flashed with helplessness, and the evil spirit in his body dissipated completely. He domineeringly hugged Jiang Ning into his arms, let go of Jiang Ning's hand and hugged him instead.
As soon as Jiang Ning's hands were free again, she tried to push Qin Xu, but couldn't move him at all, so she hit Qin Xu again.
He didn't have much strength to begin with, and now his mind was in a mess, so most of his energy was used in crying. It was almost like being beaten or massaged.
Qin Xu just let him hit him again and again. He had to deal with the problems he had caused himself: "I didn't say I was going to find another zombie."
Jiang Ning paused for a moment, then calmed down a bit when she heard Qin Xu start to comfort her, but she continued hitting him: "That's what you meant."
"I don't have any, why would I look for another zombie?"
Jiang Ning wiped her tears on Qin Xu's shoulder, choking and muttering, "Who knows what bad things you are going to do? Maybe you will find them like you did to me just now..."
Speaking of what happened just now, Jiang Ning blinked her wet eyes and felt embarrassed to continue.
Qin Xu said anxiously, "How is that possible? I'm not a pervert." It sounded like he had some special liking for zombies.
Jiang Ning thought about what he had done to her and said seriously, "You are a pervert." A pervert who has no sense of shame.
Qin Xu subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he thought of the little zombie's angry look, he gave up. This little zombie has a very bad temper. If he gets angry, he has to coax him himself. It's better not to provoke him.
Listening to Jiang Ning's sobbing, "Stop crying."
If she keeps crying, her tears will give him a bath.
The quarrel came out of nowhere, the reconciliation also came out of nowhere, and the relationship between the two people was also inexplicable. Although the little zombie had a bad temper, he was easy to coax. Just soften your tone and say a few words that he liked to hear, and he would immediately become obedient.
He wiped his eyes and muttered, "I'm not crying. I just have too much water in my body and I need to let it out."
The atmosphere relaxed, and Qin Xu teased him, "Well, you have quite a lot of water."
After saying this, Qin Xu felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, it was very ambiguous. Looking at the little zombie's expression, it also became very strange, and that ambiguous atmosphere suddenly emerged again.
Qin Xu's Adam's apple rolled: "Go to sleep."
Jiang Ning was too embarrassed to look at him, so she said "Oh" softly and sat there like a young bride about to enter the bridal chamber, slowly taking off her clothes.
When he got to his pants, he saw Qin Xu actually looking at him: "Don't look at me."
This time it was Qin Xu's turn to say "Oh" in a somewhat foolish manner, then he lay down and closed his eyes. He could hear some rustling sounds, and soon the quilt was lifted and Jiang Ning came in.
The two men lay neatly, one on the left and the other on the right, with a clear dividing line between them.
After a while of silence, Qin Xu suddenly asked, "Are you cold?"
Jiang Ning's eyes darted nervously under his eyelids. His answer would determine how they would sleep tonight. Although he wanted to be reserved, he opened his mouth and said, "Yeah, it's a bit cold." (...ah, he just couldn't resist the temptation. It was so comfortable to cuddle with her, so warm.)
Qin Xu opened his eyes immediately and stretched out his arm towards Jiang Ning: "Then lie down closer."
It was just a sentence, but it was so hot that both of them blushed.
It's strange that they both acted like that before, but now they are so innocent.
Jiang Ning's heart was beating like a drum, and she turned sideways and moved towards Qin Xu.
His head left the pillow and rested on Qin Xu's hand, but he only moved a little bit - reserved!
Qin Xu's fingers ran into Jiang Ning's soft hair. The fact that she came a little closer made him even more itchy. He twirled his fingertips around her hair and couldn't help but turn sideways to face Jiang Ning. The distance between them suddenly shortened, and their eyelashes seemed to be brushing against each other, and their skin touched and separated subtly with each breath.
Every time, it causes a throbbing in my heart.
The two of them stared at each other. At this moment, it seemed that avoiding sight or closing eyes would make them feel guilty and something was wrong. Their gazes gradually became anxious from the initial unnaturalness. The warm breath attracted each other to get closer little by little, and they didn't even notice until their lips touched a little bit, just a little bit.
Qin Xu came back to his senses first, but at this moment Jiang Ning's zombie characteristics broke out, and she bared her teeth uncontrollably. Both of them were stunned, and the previous charming atmosphere disappeared.
Jiang Ning quickly explained, "I, I was just baring my teeth. I don't want to bite anyone, not you."
Qin Xu patted his head and let him lean against her chest: "Yeah, I know, go to sleep."
Jiang Ning's cheek was pressed against Qin Xu's chest, feeling very hot. She didn't know if it was her face or Qin Xu's body that was hot. In any case, Qin Xu's heartbeat was very fast, so fast that it was a little hurried.
Did they just kiss?
Jiang Ning was a little unsure. Could this be considered her first kiss? But she didn't feel anything real. Forget it. She had just had a petulant argument with Qin Xu and even hit him. She might as well just go to sleep.
Jiang Ning nudged his head in Qin Xu's arms again, finding the most comfortable position. He didn't know how he dared to lose his temper with Qin Xu, but he felt that the other party would not hurt him.
Jiang Ning felt that he was a little too spoiled. He needed to reflect on himself. Qin Xu was not his parents. There was no reason for her to spoil him all the time. He couldn't be so willful anymore.
Qin Xu pursed his lips. He must have kissed her just now. He was really crazy. He gave his first kiss to a little zombie.
Although Qin Xu felt that his behavior was incomprehensible, his body was honest. He hugged Jiang Ning tightly, and the two of them hugged each other tightly, like two octopuses entangled with each other, making the bed look much bigger and with a lot of extra space.
They slept very soundly that night. During this time, a few zombies ran through the corridor outside. Qin Xu opened his eyes and stared at the door vigilantly. Jiang Ning in his arms hummed twice, and he patted Jiang Ning gently, and she fell asleep again.
After the zombies outside calmed down, Qin Xu retracted his gaze and fell on Jiang Ning. He stared at Jiang Ning, and for some reason, kissed Jiang Ning on the forehead.
Jiang Ning didn't react at all.
Qin Xu pressed his knuckles and kissed her again, first on her forehead, then on her cheeks, the tip of her nose, and then he kissed Jiang Ning's little face all over, avoiding her lips and even kissing her ears.
Every time Jiang Ning showed signs of waking up, he would start patting her like coaxing a child. Once she fell into a deep sleep, he would kiss her again. Reason told him that he shouldn't do this, and then he would kick reason away.
Looking at the marks he left on Jiang Ning's neck, Qin Xu wanted to bite down and put the tender white flesh into his mouth. For a moment, he even suspected that he had been infected with the zombie virus, otherwise why would he want to bite Jiang Ning so much.
This is really weird.
He looked at the two small pieces of food that he almost ate before. Qin Xu swallowed his saliva. He was really hungry. He was so hungry that he immediately put the small pieces of food into his mouth. At the same time, he was watching Jiang Ning, paying attention to whether he woke up, for fear that he would find out that he was eating secretly.
Jiang Ning's brows were furrowed. Qin Xu stopped stealing food and continued eating after a while. The food was really too small. Although he put it into his mouth, sometimes he felt that he didn't eat it. He could only use his tongue to find the food in his mouth and lick the food to the middle of his mouth, so that it would be easier to bite.
But Qin Xu was reluctant to eat such a small amount of food all at once, so he took bites of it bit by bit, and even wanted to dissolve the food in his mouth, so that he could eat it for a longer time.
He used the tip of his teeth to slowly bite the food from the tip to the bottom, and licked it twice more, still not satisfied. His mouth was full of the milky aroma of the food. In this apocalypse where zombies are everywhere, in order to feel the joy of having food for longer, Qin Xu was reluctant to eat these two pitiful little pieces of food. He only sipped them bit by bit, trying to eat them for a longer time so that he would not feel hungry.
The man and woman in the opposite room looked out through the peephole.
"The door across the street seems to have been broken down by zombies. Let's go see if there's anything to eat."
"This kitchen knife is for you, and I'll take this baseball bat."
