After wolfing down food in the kitchen, my ravenous stomach was finally filled.
Being able to eat is a good sign—it proves that human instinct hasn’t been lost, that I’m still alive!
Gulping down water, I returned to the main hall and glanced at the clock displayed on the wall.
Suddenly, I was shocked.
“I’ll be damned, I’ve been unconscious for two days already!”
“I hope nothing’s happened to Tang Wanyue…”
I hurriedly pushed open the door and went out, discovering that the door to the steakhouse across the street was still securely barricaded.
It seemed no zombies had broken in, which put Tang Cheng somewhat at ease.
Just then, some noisy voices drifted out from inside.
“Big bro, that guy hasn’t shown up for two days. Did he already turn into a zombie?” Li Dan, tied up on the floor and dizzy from hunger, shouted.
“It’s possible!” Zhang Pi had long resented Tang Cheng.
Now, he also felt it suspicious that Tang Cheng hadn’t appeared for so long, and he’d noticed that after Tang Wanyue went to the place across the street two days ago, she came running back in a panic not long after.
That meant something must have happened over there.
“Hey, little girl, did your boyfriend already turn into a zombie?” Zhang Pi, sitting on the floor, called out slyly to Tang Wanyue, who was feeding medicine to Glasses Uncle.
“Boy… boyfriend…” Hearing this, Tang Wanyue’s pale cheeks instantly flushed red.
But as soon as she thought of Tang Cheng, her eyes quickly dimmed, and a faint glimmer of sadness appeared in her eyes.
“He… he’s just a bit tired, so he’s been resting these past two days…”
Knowing she couldn’t reveal that Tang Cheng had turned into a zombie, Tang Wanyue could only hide the truth.
“Resting?” Of course Zhang Pi didn’t believe it.
“No way, that zombie kid seemed to ‘like’ you a lot. How could he not come to see you for two or three days?”
“Li… like?” Tang Wanyue’s pretty face turned even redder.
She hurriedly explained, “No… it’s not like that, I… he and I are just ordinary classmates…”
“Ordinary classmates, huh…” Standing at the door, Tang Cheng couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
Maybe that love letter he wrote before would end up being rejected too.
But Zhang Pi inside the shop seemed to be helping him out, so he decided to just keep watching from the doorway for now.
“If the kid didn’t turn into a zombie, then why did you look so panicked when you came back two days ago?” Zhang Pi pressed on suspiciously.
“That’s be… because…” For a moment, Tang Wanyue didn’t know how to cover it up.
“Big bro, I know! I get it now!” Suddenly, Li Dan transformed into Detective Fat Nan and declared confidently.
“When this girl came back from across the street two days ago, she looked totally frightened. Most likely… most likely… that guy suddenly had a beastly urge and tried to pounce on her!”
“Beast my ass!” Standing at the door, Tang Cheng immediately grumbled in a low voice.
I’m not some perverted creep, dammit, don’t make me out to be so rotten!
“What… what nonsense are you saying?” Hearing Li Dan’s words, Tang Wanyue’s face turned crimson with embarrassment.
It seemed she understood what ‘beastly urge’ meant.
“Hmph, don’t you get it yet?” Li Dan continued speculating, “That zombie kid’s been trying to please you all along—of course it’s because you’re pretty! I bet he’s been dying to get his hands on you!”
“He’s not that kind of person!” Tears welled up in Tang Wanyue’s eyes as she refuted him with absolute certainty.
Because she knew Tang Cheng was already dead, that she’d never see him again.
Seeing Tang Wanyue’s sorrowful expression, Tang Cheng standing by the door couldn’t help but be moved.
Even if he’d died as a zombie, there was still someone thinking of him.
But there was one thing Tang Wanyue got wrong.
He really had set his eyes on her!
Because he’d liked her for a long time already!
No one had ever been willing to give him that luxurious, high-end bread for free, but her gentle self was like an angel at that moment, handing the bread to him and running away without expecting anything in return.
What a kind-hearted girl!
Such a beautiful benefactor—if he didn’t offer himself to her, how could he possibly repay her kindness and goodness?
