Chapter 52 Old Friend

Bai Zhi is just optimistic, but she is not stupid and heartless.

She noticed Li Chengyi's abnormality almost instantly.

Strictly speaking, this is the first "old friend" of either of them that she met after she and Li Chengyi met in the last days.

From Li Chengyi's aura that suddenly became cold and kept strangers away, and his vigilance and rejection, Bai Zhi could feel his disgust for the visitor without asking.

This was the first time that Bai Zhi felt directly from Li Chengyi his attitude and feelings towards a person.

"Li Chengyi! It's really you! I thought I recognized the wrong person!" The visitor did not seem to notice Li Chengyi's rejection of him, but walked up to Bai Zhi and the other two as if he was familiar with them.

It was a tall and thin young man, with a good-looking appearance and neat clothes. He looked at Bai Zhi with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "Who is this beauty?"

Bai Zhi raised her hand to hold Li Chengyi's arm, looked at him, and did not answer the stranger's words.

"My wife, Bai Zhi." After Bai Zhi held him, Li Chengyi's aura returned to its usual calmness.

The young man was gentle and polite, with a slightly apologetic smile on his face: "Hello Baizhi! My name is Hu Kang, I am Chengyi's college roommate and his former colleague. I am really sorry that in the end times, none of us brothers could come to attend your wedding with Chengyi."

"It doesn't matter. In the end times, everyone is in danger, so how can we care about others?" Baizhi imitated Li Chengyi's usual polite and distant expression, and responded to Hu Kang's words in a light tone.

Hu Kang may have seen that Baizhi and Li Chengyi's attitudes were not warm, so he simply asked about their current situation and where they lived, and agreed to get together again when they were free, and then returned to his team of superpowers.

There were about seven or eight people, all relatively young people.

As soon as Hu Kang returned, the people around him began to chatter and ask questions.

Li Chengyi stared at Bai Zhi's face, which was pretending to be indifferent, and a happy smile from the heart appeared on the corner of his mouth. Bai Zhi

broke down in a second, her cheeks slightly red, and she smiled and glared at him, "What are you doing!"

Li Chengyi couldn't help but chuckled, raised his hand and rubbed her hair, "Look at you beautiful."

"Huh!" Bai Zhi snorted lightly, but her hand held his arm tighter.

"Hey, hey, do you two have to be so choked up so early in the morning!" Chen Tong didn't notice that Li Chengyi was wrong, and just thought it was just a greeting between ordinary college classmates who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Now seeing Bai Zhi and Li Chengyi being so intimate, he just felt that they were torturing each other.

With Chen Tong interrupting, the atmosphere and topic quickly returned to what they were before the mission.

During the next two days of the rescue mission, Li Chengyi looked no different from usual.

Only at night, when Bai Zhi was sleeping in his arms, could she feel that he was a little insomniac.

With his arms around her and his chin resting on the top of her head, he was in a daze, silently thinking about something.

Bai Zhi would not insist on asking about things that Li Chengyi did not want to say.

She did not think that this was a sign that Li Chengyi did not trust her.

Everyone has secrets that they do not want to tell others, even their parents, friends or lovers.

Bai Zhi did not think that since she and Li Chengyi were husband and wife, she had to know everything about Li Chengyi's past clearly, and that Li Chengyi had to be like a transparent person without any privacy in front of her.

If it was a secret that would make him very painful when he recalled it, or would make him embarrassed when he told it, she would rather never open this scar.

But troubles are often unavoidable.

The day after Bai Zhi and Li Chengyi returned to the base after completing their mission, Hu Kang came to the door with a bag of fruits.

Li Chengyi was washing dishes. Bai Zhi heard the knock on the door and recognized Hu Kang from his cat eyes.

She turned back to the kitchen, "It's your former college roommate."

Li Chengyi's action of washing dishes paused for a moment, and then returned to normal, "Well, I'll go open it later, you sit down and eat your fruit."

After rinsing the bowl in his hand and drying his hands, Li Chengyi walked to the entrance and opened the door.

Hu Kang had a bright smile on his face, and his tone was very familiar, "Chengyi! Your community is really nice. Although there is no water and electricity, it is very clean."

He handed the fruit in his hand to Li Chengyi, "I was thinking about your wedding with your sister-in-law, and I didn't even get to drink in your wedding wine. I have to come and visit you to see how you, my old classmate, are doing. Only then can I feel at ease! Haha! Why are you here? You didn't invite me. Come in and sit down?"

Li Chengyi took the fruit and stepped aside to make way for him. "Come in."

Hu Kang followed him and changed his shoes. When he entered the living room, he saw Bai Zhi who was eating fruit after dinner. "Sister-in-law! We meet again!"

Bai Zhi thought that Li Chengyi would send Hu Kang away with a few words. After all, she believed that the feeling of rejection and disgust that she felt that day, that Li Chengyi was rejecting and disgusting this person, was not her illusion

. "Hello. Please sit down." Bai Zhi still had a polite attitude.

Hu Kang sat on the single sofa. Li Chengyi took him a bottle of mineral water, washed and cut the fruit he brought, and placed it on the tea table.

Hu Kang drank a few sips of water and said cheerfully, "You water-based esper are the best! You don't lack water at all!"

Seeing that Li Chengyi didn't intend to respond, Hu Kang didn't get angry, as if he had long been accustomed to his cold, distant and calm appearance.

As if he really took this opportunity to get familiar with Li Chengyi again, Hu Kang finished drinking the water and began to talk about his experiences and encounters before and after the end of the world.

"You don't know that since you resigned, our company's investment returns have dropped a lot. The days before the apocalypse were not easy, and the days after the apocalypse were even more difficult. The city of D suppressed the news of the zombies and kept

it secret. By the time the country announced the news, a large area of ​​the city of D had already fallen. "Alas... If I hadn't awakened my wood ability while escaping and joined the current team of superpowers, I don't know what situation I would be in now.

"Did you see those psychics standing with me the other day? They are all our seniors and juniors from D University. We originally built a small base in the suburbs of D City, and it was self-sufficient in the beginning.

"But there were more and more high-level zombies, and the base suffered heavy casualties. Only a few of us psychics and a few ordinary people with good skills were left.

"After hearing about the inhibitor, we decided to go to the C City base. After walking for a few months, we heard that the deputy base commander had awakened the psychic ability to control zombies when we were about to arrive in C City.

"Cheng Yi, you are really amazing. You were the best student in school, and you had the foresight to leave D City first before the end of the world.

"The C City base you are in now is the safest base in the country. Hey, tell me, do you have a different luck from us ordinary people!"
