“Cla…classmate, maybe we shouldn’t throw them out…” Tang Wanyue’s cheeks flushed as she looked at Tang Cheng, the words “girlfriend” still fluttering shyly in her youthful heart.
“Hm, then I’ll listen to you.” Knowing how kind Tang Wanyue was, Tang Cheng smiled faintly in response.
“Thank you, Elder sister, thank you, Elder sister.”
Seeing they were saved, Zhang Pi and Li Dan immediately called Tang Wanyue “Elder sister” with gratitude.
This made Tang Wanyue’s face turn bright red, shy as a blooming flower, her two snow-white jade-like hands clenched unconsciously.
“Not throwing you out is fine too,” Tang Cheng said, looking at the two on the ground. “You bind yourselves up. If you don’t tie yourselves tightly enough, be ready to hang out with those Zombies outside.”
“Y-yes, Elder brother, we’ll tie up right away!”
Zhang Pi and Li Dan hurriedly shrank back into the corner of the table and tied each other up just like before. They naturally understood that at least staying in the room meant survival. If they really got thrown out, death was the only outcome.
Tang Cheng then reminded the middle-aged balding man, “Uncle, make sure to keep a close eye on them! If next time they manage to untie themselves so easily again, they’ll really beat you to death.”
“U-understood…” The middle-aged man trembled, shrinking by the wall.
“Also, I’ve said it before, all food is distributed by Tang Wanyue!” Tang Cheng’s voice was calm but threatening. “If any of you dare to steal again, you’re welcome to come live with this Zombie over here. I guarantee you won’t want for food or clothing.”
“N-no more stealing.”
“I promise I won’t steal food anymore…”
Facing Tang Cheng’s terrifying Zombie-scarred left cheek, the crazy woman Liu Hong and the female vet Wu Mei immediately broke down in fear and repentance. Who would want to stay with a Zombie? If bitten and killed, there’d be nothing left!
“Good, I don’t mind using some of you as snacks with my drinks!” Tang Cheng said casually, which frightened everyone in the shop.
“Ah… don’t eat me, don’t eat me! My meat tastes awful…” Unexpectedly, Tang Wanyue was the first to be scared. She suddenly cried out and waved her small hands around, but her panicked look was quite adorable.
“Tang Wanyue, how could I eat you…” Tang Cheng looked at her speechlessly. He didn’t expect his joke to scare her first. Apparently, she still thought of him as a man-eating Zombie.
“R-really not… going to?” Tang Wanyue’s eyes glistened with fearful tears, recalling the scene when she went next door to find Tang Cheng. Back then, he had been lying on the ground groaning, “So hungry, want to eat…” which terrified her.
“Of course not…” Tang Cheng blinked helplessly. “You’re so cute, how could I possibly eat you?”
“Cu…cute…” Tang Wanyue couldn’t help but lower her long lashes, her cheeks flushing pink.
At this moment, “Detective Fat Nan,” Li Dan, who was still tied up on the ground, suddenly had a brainstorm. “I… I get it!”
“What have you figured out now?” Tang Cheng looked at Li Dan on the floor, wondering what grand theory he’d come up with this time.
“Hmm, since Zombie Elder brother, you’re still alive, why did Elder sister panic and run back from next door a few days ago?” Li Dan confidently speculated. “It’s because Zombie Elder brother suddenly had a surge of animalistic desire and tried to pounce on Elder sister, but she refused, so she panicked and ran back! Am I right?”
“Not a chance! I’m a Zombie, not an Animal!” Tang Cheng shouted at the chubby Li Dan in frustration.
“W-what nonsense are you saying?” Hearing such embarrassing words, Tang Wanyue’s ears turned red beneath her long hair.
“Eh, isn’t that right?” Li Dan looked a little disappointed.
“Of course not! If you say nonsense again, I’ll throw you out right now and let you experience what a Zombie’s ‘animalistic desire’ really means!”
