Chapter 18 The Necessity of Commitment



Pei Xiqing was confused.

My vision became blurred.

I can't see what kind of eyes are behind the glasses, but I have the illusion that I can be seen through.

Some things are far more complicated than they appear.

This man too.

Pei Xiqing moved his lips and spoke, trying to remain calm: "If you don't tell me, how can I know if I can afford it?"

The man lowered his eyes, and it was unclear whether he was mocking her recklessness or her ignorance of her own limitations.

After a while, a low, magnetic and somewhat seductive laugh sounded above her head, making her feel so numb that almost half of her body went numb.

"You said it."

Pei Xiqing subconsciously shrank his neck.

Duan Xiaolin held her arm and said, "Get up."

Pei Xiqing's legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up at all, and her whole body fell into his arms. He hugged her waist and lifted her up and put her on the bed behind him.

The man was getting close, looking like he was going to press forward, but he quickly withdrew his arm, straightened up, and said, "Put on your clothes."

She hadn't recovered from the previous conversation for a while and didn't move for a long time. She heard the man's voice, "After becoming a zombie, you are not afraid of the cold anymore?"

Are you saying she's thick-skinned? He's the thick-skinned one!

Pei Xiqing blushed and immediately began to put on her clothes. After she was done, she saw the man standing at the door. She followed him and whispered behind him, "I've become a zombie. Are you going to take care of me like this? The people of Farlane will definitely not show mercy to zombies. Won't they blame you?"

She wanted to know, was this really worth studying?

But the way this man looked at her was more than just that, yet he didn't reveal it at all.

When a person is special enough, once he loses this special value, he will become worthless.

"If that's still something you need to worry about." He walked ahead and slowly went downstairs, "There was no need for me to make a promise to you just now."

"Can I trust your promise?"

"Yes." He answered firmly.

Pei Xi felt inexplicably at peace.

She glanced at him stealthily.

The man's brows were hard, but he remained serious and calm, as if he knew his limits in everything. She wondered if he would strangle her neck and get angry if he took a bite. That kind of scene should... be unlikely to happen.

I don't want to return it. The more I think about her, the more itchy my teeth become.

Is this person really not afraid that she will turn into a zombie and bite him?

After going downstairs, she lowered her head and was still thinking about something when she was suddenly startled by the person who appeared in front of her.

Facing Ling Lang's slightly impatient face, she blinked, "Why...are you here?"

"Why can't I come?" Ling Lang frowned. "You're quite a runner. You're really enjoying yourself by running to a place like this to sleep. My brother and I have been looking for you all night, and you're actually sleeping in such a high-end hotel. Aren't you really afraid of zombies?"

"What else? Am I going to end up on the streets, crying and hugging myself in a corner out of fear?"

"Weren't you like this before?"

"I'm not. Last time was an accident, and I didn't cry." Pei Xiqing said angrily, "I'm not afraid of zombies."

Ling Lang: "Tsk, is this true?"

He moved closer, stared into Pei Xiqing's eyes carefully, and suddenly said, "Are you crying?"

Pei Xiqing's skin was originally thin, tender and fragile. Although the light was dim at night, it was a piece of cake for the psychic. He saw the changes on Pei Xiqing's face at a glance, and his eyes slowly shifted from her eyebrows to her lips.

She raised her eyes slightly, her long hair was disheveled, her eyebrows were frowning, and her clothes were put on hurriedly, as if she had just woken up.

Ling Lang: "You idiot."

???

Pei Xiqing: "Are you sick? Why are you cursing all of a sudden?"

"Your head is a mess from all that sleep," he said. "Then why is your face so red? Didn't someone hit you?"

Pei Xiqing subconsciously touched her cheek, which seemed to still be painful. She turned her head away and said, "Maybe. Don't ask."

Ling Lang was too close, and she felt that if she continued to watch, what happened upstairs would be revealed.

He was puzzled.

I couldn't help but look at her face one more time.

"you……"

Before he could finish his words, Duan Xiaolin had already gotten into the car and said, "Let's go."

Ling Lang agreed, "I'm coming."

He turned around and looked at her: "What are you still standing there for?"

Pei Xiqing got into the car, avoiding the man's sight, and consciously and tactfully got into the back seat, turning her head to look out the window.

Ling Lang always felt something was strange, and he wanted to tell him what was strange.

The car was so quiet that no one spoke, with only the sound of tires rolling over the road. Ling Lang was also a little depressed. He looked at the rearview mirror from time to time and found that Pei Xiqing had already hidden her face with her hat and was sleeping on the chair. He curled his lips and stepped on the accelerator to accelerate.

More than an hour later, the car slowly drove back to the camp and began to slow down around the camp.

Pei Xiqing opened his hood in the back seat and looked out the window.

It's almost dawn.

The torches in the camp were also extinguished.

After tossing and turning all night, she only slept for three hours.

I couldn't help but yawn. As soon as the car stopped, someone knocked on the window.

She was startled and saw Long Yan's face outside the car window. She quickly called out, "Sister Long Yan."

Long Yan nodded: "Are you okay? Little girl, you've been missing for a whole night, it really makes me worry."

"sorry……"

Long Yan said, "Come down, I'll check your body."

"Tuo."

She got out of the car and followed Long Yan to the tent next to her.

Ling Lang opened the car door and got out, asking Duan Xiaolin, "Brother, how did you find her?"

He searched for a long time in the mountains, and then went to the city ahead to look for her. He searched many places but didn't see her. After a while, he received a location message from his brother.

When he arrived at the hotel, he really thought his brother had made a mistake. The hotel was remote and hard to find, and it would be difficult to find the person without looking door to door.

"Luck." Duan Xiaolin replied indifferently.

Ling Lang: "Am I so unlucky?"

He glanced at Ling Lang and didn't answer the question directly, "Arrange your itinerary and don't waste time."

"Yes, I'll let them rest for a while and we'll leave in an hour."

He followed the man and suddenly asked, "Brother, when we get back to the base, what should we do with Pei Xiqing?"

After all, they are still zombies.

As long as it's a zombie, it's a dead end.
