Cowardly Follower (13)

Despite the man's cold words, Lu Zhoucheng immediately understood what he was thinking.

Is this a plan to completely break ties with him and snatch her away?

This was the first time he'd ever found his brother so annoying.

"What's there to not know? Even if I didn't know, I learn everything quickly." Lu Zhoucheng said, his tone tense. "Are you going to teach me?"

Xue Ci, caught in the middle, paused for a moment.

He couldn't bear to think about the scene of his elder brother teaching Lu Zhoucheng; his cheeks burned. Seeing that Lu Zhoucheng was about to say something more, he immediately said, "Don't argue with your elder brother..."

The two obediently stopped.

Xue Ci ate quietly, unaware that his words had upset both brothers. Lu Bo'an felt that Xue Ci blaming Lu Zhoucheng and was clearly closer to Lu Zhoucheng; Lu Zhoucheng felt that Xue Ci was helping Lu Bo'an.

They were both afraid that Xue Ci cared more about the other person.

They stopped arguing verbally, but they were still secretly competing, clinging tightly to Xue Ci and refusing to leave first.

Xue Ci was wearing shorts, and the soft flesh on his thighs was chafed red by the men's rough pants. He was weak and couldn't push anyone away, so he finally took his lunchbox and listlessly returned to his room.

The three of them were huddled in a corner, yet they were impossible to ignore.

Students chatting idly in the gymnasium would occasionally glance over there, whispering and gossiping among themselves.

They mainly speculated on two possibilities: first, the two brothers fell in love with the same person, eventually turning against each other; second, the older brother was simply helping his younger brother take care of his crush, and there was no inappropriate relationship between them.

"An affection that doesn't cross the line? That's unlikely, isn't it? Has Dr. Lu ever been this close to anyone?"

"It seems that yesterday Brother Lu took Song Xueci to his brother's room, and they stayed there for quite a while."

"Ah... to be honest, the images in my head are a bit jumbled up."

"I also."

"Won't Song Xueci be able to handle it? I heard he dumped Lu, the school heartthrob, because he couldn't handle that aspect of himself."

"Hey, who told you all this? Tell me more!"

The topic was too provocative, and many people dared not continue the conversation.

They were afraid it would reach Lu Zhoucheng's ears.

After Xue Ci returned to his room and finished his meal, he took the lunchbox back to the kitchen. As if Lu Zhoucheng had a GPS tracker attached to him, he accurately located him again.

"I could smell your scent immediately."

After Lu Zhoucheng finished speaking, Xue Ci raised her arm and gently sniffed her arm.

His nose twitched slightly, like that of a harmless little animal.

Then he looked up and asked, "I can't smell it, what is it?"

How can she be so cute?

Lu Zhoucheng's ears turned red, but he pretended to clear his throat. "Maybe I can't smell my own scent, so..."

"It smells really good."

Xue Ci breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she hadn't been marinated in the milky flavor.

Seeing someone turn on the tap to wash their lunchbox, Lu Zhoucheng naturally offered, "I'll do it."

As he washed her, he asked, "Are you still feeling unwell?"

Xue Ci: "I haven't felt unwell at all today."

Lu Zhoucheng hummed in agreement, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "How about I move into your room?"

Xue Ci was taken aback.

"What if you feel unwell in the middle of the night?" Lu Zhoucheng's expression was calm, and his tone was serious. "Don't worry, I'm not going to sleep with you. I'll do those things after we get married. I'll make my own bed on the floor. What do you think?"

The boy spoke very sincerely, but Xue Ci still politely declined.

"It's okay, I'll come to your room for help if I feel unwell."

Lu Zhoucheng felt hot all over from his words and gradually began to stand up. He said stiffly, "Okay, but I might not be fully awake in the middle of the night, and I might bite sometimes."

Xue Ci realized what was happening. "... It's nothing."

After washing the dishes, the two walked back down the corridor. Before going to bed, Lu Zhoucheng brought over a few coats.

"I've washed all these coats. They're a bit large, probably reaching your upper thighs, and the fabric is dark, so even if they swell up, no one will notice."

Xue Ci took it and glanced at Lu Zhoucheng.

It seems that the other party has matured a lot since the zombie outbreak.

[Host, the progress bar has increased; Duan Zeran awakened his water-based superpower.]

Xue Ci overjoyed; there had finally been news these past few days.

The awakening of his special ability proves that Duan Zeran is safe and sound.

However, the situation of Yu Cheng and Wu Feng remains unknown.

Xue Ci had spent some time with them, and they were all very kind to him, so he was naturally worried about them.

So he asked Lu Zhoucheng, "Are you going out tomorrow?"

Lu Zhoucheng nodded, understanding Xue Ci's meaning, and proactively offered, "I will try my best to find them."

Going out is risky, Xue Ci prepared to attach a talisman to the red string in her bag and give it to Lu Zhoucheng, only to find that he always wore the string she had given him on his wrist.

"Then be careful."

Xue Ci her instructions.

She acts like a submissive wife.

Lu Zhoucheng's lips twitched slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

He seemed nonchalant, giving a dismissive "oh." Back in his room, Lu Zhoucheng lay on the bed, tossing and turning, trying to recall Xue Ci's expression and tone when she said those words.

Xue Ci still cared about him, and was more willing to ask for his help than his brother.

There must still be feelings involved.

The more Lu Zhoucheng thought about it, the more he felt that Xue Ci had her reasons for breaking up with him, and he should have asked her about them.

However, it's not too late to get back together.

... Since they've all eaten there, they're definitely going to stay together.

Lu Zhoucheng reached out and glanced at the red string on his wrist.

After the breakup, he threw the red string into the trash can outside the dormitory, but it was retrieved that same night.

He was soaked and disheveled in the rain that night, and almost went to Xue Ci's dormitory to go crazy.

Seeing him like this, Xue Ci would definitely feel sorry for him and then get back together with him.

Of course, his pride wouldn't allow him to do that.

But now he feels that abandoning his pride is quite satisfying—he takes the initiative to let Xue Ci see that he cares about this relationship, and he takes the initiative to do Xue Ci's laundry... The signs of getting back together are becoming more and more obvious.

Lu Zhoucheng closed his eyes.

My heart is surging with emotion.

He will protect Xue Ci well. They will defeat the zombies and be saved, and they will get married in the future.

The next day, a team of five people, consisting of several physically fit individuals, set out, while the rest were responsible for logistics and guard duties.

The zombies are getting stronger every day, and if we don't take turns guarding them, some might slip through the net.

Xue Ci was assigned the task of opening canned fruit today.

The task was completed long ago, but there aren't enough people to handle the dressing changes.

Xue Ci offered to help.

His movements were gentle and delicate, his tone soft and reassuring.

The two girls who were changing her dressings suggested that Xue Ci join their team.

Xue Ci was busy until after 5 p. m., and her chest began to feel slightly swollen.

He was afraid of feeling stuffy, so he stopped wrapping it with bandages, and you could feel that his shirt underneath was damp.

Fortunately, Lu Zhoucheng's clothes were big enough that no one noticed.

It seems that even with this drug, I can only last for one day...

After enduring the discomfort to finish her task, Xue Ci returned to her room without even collecting her dinner.

He lay face down on the table, curling himself up.

This position is more comfortable.

Half an hour later, Lu Zhoucheng returned.

The other person's body still had bloodstains on it, as if they had come to find him as soon as they returned.

Xue Ci asked worriedly, "Are you injured?"

"It's not my blood." Lu Zhoucheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, countless veins bulging on his arms. "We found a lot of supplies today and rescued a few people. They said they saw Duan Zeran a few days ago, on the other side of the school. It's too late today, I'll go out and look for them tomorrow."

"You've worked hard..." Xue Ci felt relieved. Seeing that Lu Zhoucheng looked tired, he was too embarrassed to ask for his help. "Then you should go and get some rest."

Lu Zhoucheng: "How are you?"

Xue Ci: "I'm fine."

Lu Zhoucheng narrowed his eyes. "Lying to me? I can smell it."

Xue Ci's eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her eyes without speaking.

Lu Zhoucheng was so disgusted by his appearance that he couldn't breathe, and his voice was hoarse. "I'm very dirty. Go wash up, it'll be quick."

Lu Zhoucheng was indeed very fast; he returned in five minutes.

He slammed the door shut.

Xue Ci suppressed her embarrassment and sat on his lap.

However, if you ask Lu Zhoucheng for help, you'll eventually get Lu Bo'an to help you in the best way.

As soon as the hem of her clothes was lifted, Lu Zhoucheng's hot breath hit her.

Everyone else's body temperature seemed to be higher than his...

Xue Ci's skin was flushed pink, and her eyes quickly filled with moisture.

Her lips parted, and she hummed softly.

I don't know if it feels comfortable or uncomfortable.

The swallowing sound was loud and echoed throughout the room.

Xue Ci, feeling embarrassed, reminded her, "Is... that's enough..."

Lu Zhoucheng looked up, but froze when he saw Xue Ci's face.

His eyes were vacant, and he had never seen such a vibrant color before.

Even her eyelids were pink.

If you slightly part your lips, you can see the color inside your mouth.

Lu Zhoucheng was dazed, his mind went blank, he completely lost his rationality and thought, and was dominated by the purest desires.

I want to kiss you.

It was really little; I didn't get enough to eat.

I still want some saliva.

It must smell amazing.

Her fair and soft cheeks were quickly pressed against the straight bridge of her nose, squeezed out of shape, and left red marks.

Lu Zhoucheng fiercely captured her small lips, his aggressive kiss making her dizzy.

The suggestive sounds echoed throughout the room.

Xue Ci had a lot of saliva swallowed, and the rest flowed out, making her chin wet.

A pretty face can look terrible, and it's still unattractive.

It makes you want to bully them further.

Feeling dizzy and disoriented, an hour passed just like that.

Xue Ci was now clean; everything was dry except for the tear stains on her eyelashes.

He slumped over the table, looking unhappy and listless.

Lu Zhoucheng only realized he had kissed someone after he had taken advantage of the situation.

They were very close, the kind of kissing I often dream about.

"I... I don't know, the way you looked at me, I just..." Lu Zhoucheng couldn't explain, and there really was no explanation; he was just a lecher.

He coughed, and seeing that Xue Ci ignored him, he stood there helplessly for a few seconds before pressing himself against Xue Ci.

"I was wrong, I won't do it again next time." Lu Zhoucheng scratched his head. "I finished yours quickly, it was so sweet, I think I might be a little thirsty, so I'm wondering if I should have some other sweet drinks."

Xue Ci's eyes widened in disbelief. "What... what are you talking about...?"

Lu Zhoucheng, still feeling unsatisfied by Xue Ci, noticed that her lips were already flushed red. "Anyway... I was wrong."

Xue Ci always felt it was retribution.

He used the other person for treatment, and the price he paid was being kissed very roughly.

Not knowing how to get angry, I could only weakly remind the other person, "Don't do that next time, honey. I need permission first, otherwise I'll get angry."

After agreeing, Lu Zhoucheng changed the subject, telling the other person about the dangerous encounter he had outside that day, deliberately emphasizing how dangerous it was for him to save people, hoping to make Xue Ci feel sorry for him.

Sure enough, Xue Ci from ignoring her to actively showing concern.

Lu Zhoucheng gradually grasped the art of persistent pursuit, squeezing himself next to Xue Ci. If a third person were present, judging from their intimacy, they would have been mistaken for a couple deeply in love.

"Thanks to today's close call, I've gained another special ability." Lu Zhoucheng deliberately kept everyone in suspense, "Guess what it is?"

Xueci, who already knew from 11, said, "..."

He politely pretended not to know, probably guessing the wrong answer, "Cure?"

Lu Zhoucheng shook his head.

Water system?

Shaking his head.

"Spitting fire?"

"Am I a Charizard?"

"..."

Xue Ci racked her brains. "X-ray vision?"

This time, Lu Zhoucheng didn't shake his head.

He leaned close to Xue Ci's cheek and affectionately touched it. "If only I had awakened X-ray vision from the beginning."

"That way I can notice your abnormality sooner and make you feel better sooner."

Author's Note:

You little brat, you're eating and taking things...

I'll post one chapter first, and then add another one at midnight, but it shouldn't be very long.

I don't know what time it is either, so you don't need to wait.
