Su Ye had never imagined that he would one day be willing to do so much for a woman.
Washing clothes and cooking for her, grooming her, wanting all of her to be under his control.
Just seeing her filled his heart, as if as long as she was by his side, nothing else mattered, and everything he saw was her.
“Finished eating?” Su Ye looked at Qiao Ci comfortably nestled on the sofa and wanted to hug her, immediately acting on it.
Holding her, his heart overflowed with contentment, and in an instant, he felt an inflated sense of having A’Ci in his arms and the world at his fingertips.
“What interesting thing are you thinking about that you’re smiling so happily?” Seeing Qiao Ci’s eyes curved, Su Ye couldn’t help but smile with her.
“I just think some people are too laughable, wanting everything,” Qiao Ci replied.
“Then I must be very laughable too, I want everything about you.” Su Ye was tall, and Qiao Ci, nestled in his arms, appeared petite and graceful, exuding a sense of security.
“I grant you the right to possess me,” Qiao Ci said seriously, pointing a slender index finger at his forehead.
Su Ye was smitten by such a serious and adorable Qiao Ci, nuzzling her finger like a big dog, his voice softening with a hint of petulance, “Then when can you grow up…”
Qiao Ci was already fully understanding of matters between men and women, saying with a serious expression, “I can right now.”
“No, you are still too young. Wait another two years. I can wait,” his pleasant voice accompanied by joyful laughter tickled Qiao Ci’s ears.
Finally, after playing for a while, they fell asleep in each other’s arms. Although Su Ye endured it with great difficulty every night, he was no longer willing to sleep in separate beds.
How could someone who had tasted warmth be willing to return to the cold?
Let it be pain and happiness.
Recently, the number of mutated zombies has been increasing, while the number of ability users has not changed much, causing great trouble for the major bases.
The losses incurred during expeditions for supplies were severe, and it was even more difficult to endure with the leader of the Lone Wolf Base absent.
In the past, encountering one or two mutated zombies when leaving the base was considered bad luck, but now mutated zombies had evolved with a sliver of their own consciousness and were actively attacking the major bases.
Although Xu Wei was tempted by the natural advantage of the base's location, he could not ignore the Lone Wolf Base that he had built with his own hands.
Now, the only way was to act swiftly; not a moment could be wasted.
On this day, Yu Hao took most of the ability users out to search for supplies. Xu Wei was originally assigned to be part of it, but he feigned illness and stayed behind.
An Ran felt that her chance to bask in glory had finally arrived. She no longer spoke to Qiao Ci with a fawning demeanor, and in the corners where Qiao Ci couldn't see, she stared at her with the eyes of someone destined to die.
She called this look the death gaze, where whoever she looked at would die.
Of course, she wouldn't let Qiao Ci die easily. During the time spent building the base, she had deeply ingrained all of Qiao Ci’s coldness and humiliation in her heart.
She wanted to torment her, to strip away all her pride and arrogance. And Su Ye, his face was so popular among men, she wanted both of them to live a life of misery!
Qiao Ci felt her gaze full of malice and couldn't help but complain to Little Spoon, "Why is An Ran sneakily looking at me like an idiot? Look at the lecherous expression on her face, what good thing is she thinking about to get herself off?"
Little Spoon also analyzed An Ran’s psychological activity from her expression, finally giving a pertinent evaluation: “She’s probably mentally unstable, or possessed. Look at her expression, it’s like joy and sorrow, all twisted~”
“Host, don’t be afraid, evil retreat! Little Spoon will escort you! Ah da da da~”
Qiao Ci was directly amused by Little Spoon. Su Ye curiously asked her what happy thing she was thinking about to be smiling so heartily.
“Thinking of you,” Qiao Ci said with a straight face, her sweet words flowing out effortlessly.
Outside, Qiao Ci rarely spoke tender words to him. This sudden and explicit confession made Su Ye a little unable to handle it. His ear tips quickly turned red, making him look even more lively and charming like a shy young boy.
Even An Ran, who stood by with ill intentions, was mesmerized.
No wonder Qiao Ci didn’t fancy Xu Wei. Such a handsome, considerate, and devoted young man, who wouldn’t be infatuated?
A dark thought suddenly sprouted in her heart: instead of giving Su Ye to those scummy men, she would hide him away. She also wanted that kind of sister-brother happiness!
At this moment, Xu Wei came out. He looked at Qiao Ci with a slight sense of regret, that he hadn't been able to win her over before this absurdity had to end.
Qiao Ci was the first woman to disregard his charm. If it weren't for the fact that he truly loved An Ran, keeping Qiao Ci by his side for fun wouldn’t have been a bad idea.
Alas, who made her have poor judgment and seek her own doom?
Then, she deserved to die.
Xu Wei signaled An Ran that everything was ready and she could make her move at any time. An Ran was not in a hurry. Instead, she walked to a spot not far from Qiao Ci and faced her: “Qiao Ci, do you remember when the zombie outbreak occurred, your father only cared about protecting you and left me to be surrounded by zombies?”
Qiao Ci knew she was going to put on a show and shook her head seriously, acting as if she didn't understand what she was saying.
Seeing her pretentious demeanor, An Ran couldn't help but let out a sneer, “Do you know? I was actually bitten by a zombie that day.”
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeve, revealing the bite mark.
With hatred in her voice, she said, “It’s all your selfish father’s fault. He could have protected me, but instead, he only cared about you, causing me to be bitten! In the dead of night, have the two of you, father and daughter, ever regretted it?
Heh, you won’t regret it, otherwise, you wouldn’t be so cold and heartless upon seeing me again, not even a shred of guilt~” httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Seeing Qiao Ci’s expressionless face, An Ran felt even more hatred. The way she always looked so calm and collected, it made her want to tear off her mask and make her feel fear and despair!
Although Xu Wei felt that An Ran was being slow, he had to endure it. She had been feeling quite wronged herself lately.
Women were just too emotional!
However, now that she could summon a large number of zombies, Xu Wei didn’t want to quarrel with her over this matter. He stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and told her that he was still there, and she could vent her emotions freely.
The moment An Ran revealed the bite mark on her arm, Su Ye stepped forward and stood directly beside Qiao Ci, like the most loyal guard, ready to protect her and go through fire and water for her.
Seeing her so agitated and only glaring at him hatefully, Qiao Ci grew impatient and nudged her lips to help the plot along, “And then?”
An Ran felt that Qiao Ci would not shed tears until she saw the coffin. Thus, she revealed her identity, “However, I also thank you and your father for abandoning me. After being bitten, although I didn’t become an ability user, I became the unique Zombie Emperor!
All the zombies in this world, as long as I wish, I can control them to serve me! Heh, thank you for your cold-bloodedness that allowed me to possess an army of billions of zombies!”
