Chapter 17
The person sitting on the bed turned their head away, ignoring Su Mo beside them. It was too dangerous just now, luckily nothing happened, but it made her feel anxious.
Even though she told Su Mo that this behavior was very dangerous and shouldn't be done, Su Mo clearly didn't understand her words, which led to her stubbornly doing it out of anger, making herself even more upset.
At this moment, someone was very angry, to the point where it was hard to calm down for a while.
And sitting next to her, Su Mo let out a few sighs, clearly not being favored with food.
Quietly lowering her head, the sighs turned into sobbing sounds.
Listening to the sounds coming from beside her, sobbing and feeling wronged, the originally angry person started feeling guilty and shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
She reached back and touched the back of her head, feeling a bit swollen, as if she had bumped it really hard. Lu Jia murmured in her mind.
At the same time, a faint sensation suddenly came from behind her, circulating from top to bottom, although the force was a bit strange.
Turning her head to look at Su Mo, seeing her hand caressing her back, Lu Jia couldn't stay angry anymore, thinking that this person had at least taken her words to heart. After all, she's a zombie, occasionally mischievous, maybe she had been too strict and needed to be more patient.
Originally, she was quite angry with this person climbing into bed in the middle of the night, but with someone else's touch during sleep, she let go of all her defenses.
"Do you want to comfort me?"
Perhaps understanding her words, Su Mo paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously, making Lu Jia worried that her head might fall off.
Then, unexpectedly, Su Mo stayed still, leaving the onlookers puzzled, wondering if she had twisted something.
But soon enough, her head started nodding again non-stop.
"Okay, okay, I forgive you."
She reached out and held onto the person's constantly nodding chin, threatening, "But you can't move anymore."
Su Mo obediently nodded again, then suddenly realized something and immediately straightened her head. Lu Jia couldn't find the right words to describe her actions, but she was definitely stunned.
In an instant, her mood seemed to improve quite a bit, and even her head didn't hurt as much. She looked at the person beside her and didn't know what to say, "What about you, staying up so late, why are you leaning over my bedside?"
Lu Jia didn't quite understand the intention behind Su Mo leaning on the bedside. Was she trying to sneak and eat something while she was asleep?
But looking at Su Mo this way, it doesn't feel right.
But did she forget that Su Mo is a zombie, just like the male zombie in the cafeteria before? He initially wanted to protect her, but later still wanted to eat her.
Su Mo can't know about her wandering thoughts, she just silently gazes at Lu Jia. When Lu Jia asks her why she isn't sleeping, she slightly tilts her head.
Watching her behavior, Lu Jia thought maybe Su Mo doesn't know what sleeping means, and she's not sure if Su Mo needs sleep now.
However, she needs rest, even if she can't fall asleep. Just closing her eyes for a while is good enough.
So she lies directly on Su Mo's bed. The sheets on this bed have something sticking to them because Su Mo didn't wash before lying on them. After Su Mo finished washing up, she replaced the sheets and Su Mo's clothes together.
The sheets still carry a faint orange scent.
"Lying like this..."
She said, and listening to her words, Su Mo immediately obediently lies down beside her. Lu Jia is very satisfied with this.
"Okay, you stay lying down and don't move."
After finishing her instructions, she immediately stood up, but Su Mo seemed to have different ideas. Only then did she sit up, and Su Mo followed suit.
With doubt in her mind, she reached out and firmly pressed both of Su Mo's shoulders, forcing her back onto the bed. But as soon as she let go, Su Mo bounced back to her original position, like a bouncing toy.
So far, Lu Jia had always felt strange when someone wouldn't listen. Now, in this moment, did Su Mo not want to go to sleep?
"Do you... not want to lie down?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mo unexpectedly pounced on her, sliding her legs down and sitting on her lap. She leaned in close to Lu Jia's face, rubbing her nose against it, and playfully sticking out her warm tongue to touch Lu Jia's cheek.
In an instant, Lu Jia froze, but before she could react, she managed to regain her senses and put a stop to Su Mo's rude behavior.
She supported Su Mo's shoulders with both hands, creating space between the two of them once again.
Looking at Su Mo, who had no awareness of her actions and only communicated through gestures, Lu Jia felt a headache coming on. Perhaps she needed to teach Su Mo some manners.
But when she looked at the person in front of her, she couldn't help but feel that Su Mo didn't do it on purpose. A bold and somewhat scary thought gushed out from her mind.
"You... don't tell me you want to sleep with me?"
She said it, and it seemed that she herself couldn't believe it. But this time, Su Mo seemed to understand. She even took a step back on her own and then sat properly.
Her actions confirmed Lu Jia's guess, but... sleep with Su Mo?
Well, Su Mo could do it, but... her eyes silently examined the person in front of her. It was obvious that both her heart and body had some resistance due to self-preservation.
Her heart screamed no, even if it was good, she should keep her distance. But Su Mo just obediently looked at her.
Even if she was well-behaved, it was still dangerous. Her reason told her to refuse, after all, no one would want to sleep with a tiger.
With firm belief and thoughts, she called softly, "Su Mo~, I..."
Looking at Su Mo's pitiful face, those words naturally came to her lips. She could almost imagine how sad Su Mo would be if she rejected her. Maybe she would even overthink and become a zombie because of excessive sadness?
"Go to sleep."
In the end, she couldn't refuse, even though her rationality and emotions rarely disagreed. She chose a path that might be dangerous.
However, she would soon discover that sharing a bed like this was even more difficult than she had imagined.
Perhaps it was because she had become a zombie, Su Mo no longer needed to breathe.
Lu Jia couldn't feel the person beside her breathing, but the chill and friction against her skin told her that someone was there. This state seemed to constantly remind Lu Jia that the person beside her was a zombie, that she didn't need to breathe, and that she might eat people.
She was too nervous to close her eyes, and even the slightest movement from the person beside her made her tensed up and stiff, completely turning into a human statue.
The only relief was the coolness of the body without any warmth, providing Lu Jia with a sense of comfort in this suffocating environment. At least her body could accept this level of comfort.
After staying stiff like this for a while, Su Mo next to her moved slightly, and as if in sync with her movement, a thunderclap sounded outside. Startled, Lu Jia, who was just about to try closing her eyes, abruptly sat up.
Turning her head to look at the person beside her, as lightning flashed, illuminating her half-covered face with white cloth, Lu Jia felt like she had lost all senses. It seemed as though her heart had stopped.
She realized that if she continued like this, she might be scared to death.
Watching her sit up, our Su Mo naturally sat up too. She looked at Lu Jia silently and poked her arm without any aggression.
Lu Jia knew she was overly worried. She had a suspicious mind, but she was still afraid. No matter what, it seemed like she couldn't fall asleep. The best way to stay awake was to binge-watch a series.
She still remembered that there were usually a lot of TV resources on Li Guai Guai's computer. And Li Guai Guai had mentioned before that he was currently watching several very good shows at the same time.
Forgive her, she really couldn't fall asleep, and forgive her for casually opening someone else's computer.
Su Mo sat up, but didn't move. She just watched as food ran back and forth in the dormitory. Then she picked up a big thing and also picked up a very strange thing, placing the strange thing on top.
Putting the computer on a small table, Lu Jia plugged in the headphones, touched the screen of the computer, and looked at the remaining battery power and the charging cable still connected to the computer. She didn't unplug it because she couldn't save electricity now, so she would use it as long as she could.
Clicking on the D drive, she found a folder called "Movies and Shows" and opened it. There were several folders with different names. She chose one folder that said "good to watch" on it.
Without thinking, she clicked on it.
There are several small files inside.
She was thinking about what to watch when Su Mo, who was beside her, became restless. Her hand imitated Lu Jia's movements and tapped the screen, probably trying to understand what Lu Jia was doing.
While she clicked randomly, the computer didn't seem to have any response until someone grabbed her hand.
"Alright, let's watch it together."
Pulling back Su Mo's hand, Lu Jia inserted one of the earphones into Su Mo's ear and put one in her own ear as well.
Picking a random file, Lu Jia directly clicked into it, s0101. As they opened it, they saw a group of zombies pouncing on a person and tearing them apart. The scene was quite gruesome.
With a bang, the computer was suddenly closed. She laughed and said, "It's not this one." She wondered what Li Guai Guai has been watching recently in her mind.
Slowly, she opened the computer again and looked at the words "The Walking Dead" on the screen. She quickly clicked out and then opened the second one.
This time, it wasn't about zombies eating people. The screen immediately showed a person hitting a zombie's head with a stick, piercing through it. The words "Fear of the Walking Dead" were written on top.
When she paused and stopped the video again, her heart suddenly felt tired.
And outside the dorm, as if to match her mood, after a rumble, the rain started to fall.
