Even though it's dangerous outside, Li Guaiguai still makes sure she looks good. As Li Guaiguai says, no matter what, she must maintain her elegance. And according to Cheng Du, her behavior is like a whirlwind. Luckily, they are inside a department store, otherwise it couldn't handle Li Guaiguai's antics.
Li Guaiguai walked over to Cheng Du and placed the coffee she was holding on the table next to Cheng Du. Then she gently wrapped her arms around Cheng Du's neck and sat down next to her on her leg.
Cheng Du said she's already used to it.
The person sitting on Cheng Du's leg glanced around Cheng Du and quickly noticed the place the map was pointing to on the table.
"Oh, are we changing locations?" she said, sliding her finger over the words on the paper, finally landing on F University.
"Is this... our school?" Li Guaiguai wasn't sure when she saw the familiar name.
Cheng Du looked at where Li Guaiguai pointed and couldn't help but sigh. "Hmm, temporarily it seems it is our school."
Rather than worrying like Cheng Du, Li Guaiguai's mood improved a lot after hearing the confirmation. "Really? Then let's choose the school." For Li Guaiguai, this choice meant she would get the key to visit her friend, so naturally, she was happy.
After her previous phone had a problem, she couldn't contact Lu Jia anymore. Finally, she found a phone and called, but the other person's phone was turned off. She remembered that Lu Jia was alone at school, and she was quite worried about her.
However, Cheng Du didn't feel as excited as she thought when she heard her words, and she didn't give any response.
Turning her head to look at the person with a heavy expression, Li Guaiguai couldn't help but smile, "Isn't this a good thing? Why are you frowning?" As she spoke, she also lifted Cheng Du's mouth with her fingers, pulling it upwards, trying to make a smile.
Looking at the person in front of her, Cheng Du simply turned her head away, avoiding Li Guaiguai's hand. Her actions made the person sitting on her lap feel awkward, with their hands stiffened in place and their expression dimmed.
She pretended to smile indifferently and her hand, hanging on Cheng Du's shoulder, tightened a bit more. She smiled and said, "What's wrong? Does it really matter?"
The stiffness on her face made her smile somewhat uncomfortable, but Cheng Du, who didn't look at her, didn't notice it. Cheng Du simply reached out, took the paper on the table, and held it up in front of her eyes, asking, "Is it really a good choice to bring these people to the school?"
The community that Cheng Du joined was founded by Jiang Hao. Earlier, the two of them escaped together from a zombie horde, and after they survived, Jiang Hao invited them to join his community.
At that time, Cheng Du had a fever, and Li Guaiguai had to evade zombies alone while taking care of her. It was very dangerous. So, after discussing it, they chose to follow Jiang Hao.
At first, both of them thought that the organization Jiang Hao mentioned was just a small group of tens of people. However, they didn't expect that in Jiang Hao's so-called base, there were several hundred people, and they kept accepting around a hundred more people.
Jiang Hao named this organization Tianxing Community because the majority of the people here are residents of Tianxing Community. Therefore, in the end, their group was directly named after their place of residence.
Later, the community was attacked by zombies, and Jiang Hao led everyone to move to this department store building, temporarily making it their new home. It was because of this migration that Jiang Hao's position as the leader was firmly established.
Afterwards, the group barely managed to support themselves here for nearly half a month. During this time, Jiang Hao, who learned from the lessons of the community's downfall, began to gradually establish rules and a team.
Jiang Hao selected those strong and capable individuals from everyone and formed two teams, called the Zombie Vanguard Teams. They were led by Zhang An and Cheng Du. Later, a new member named Wang Zhongping, who had exceptional abilities, was promoted to captain. The teams were then divided into three squads, identified by the numbers one, two, and three.
According to the established rules, the lower the number, the higher the position. Squad one almost directly obeyed Chief Jiang Hao.
Now, with the passage of time, this place must be abandoned before the zombies break through.
Cheng Du understood the community's intention to find a safer place, but would it really be a good idea to bring these once hardened people to a school?
She couldn't be sure, especially after spending this time together. She didn't have much trust or fondness for some of the people here, but she couldn't leave either because now it wasn't just dangerous outside, but the people inside were also complicated.
Seeing Cheng Du frown and remain composed, it made Li Guaiguai, who was looking at her, unsure of what to say.
How is it here? How are the people here? Li Guaiguai couldn't possibly not know, in fact, she knows even more than Cheng Du because she wasn't placed in any of the previous three teams, she was placed in the Fourth Team, a team that doesn't have to do physical work and is responsible for household chores, where you would see more complicated and disgusting things.
But she is still not in the central management position, compared to her, Cheng Du's words and actions are more difficult to bear. Li Guaiguai sees this woman always frowning, with an expression as if the sky is falling, and she feels "angry".
Don't you know that being angry makes you age faster? Cheng Du dared to make her grow older. The more she thinks about it, the angrier she seems to get. So she decides to punish Cheng Du a little.
"Cheng Du~" she calls out.
"Hmm?" Someone who is clearly still lost in their thoughts gives a response out of habit, without even giving Li Guaiguai a glance.
"Do you want to play with me?"
She says this and then stays quiet until the one who nodded in response, sensing something unusual in her words.
Looking up slightly at Li Guaiguai, who is sitting on her lap and is taller than herself, Cheng Du feels somewhat uncertain. She wonders what exactly she heard just now.
"What did you...say?" Even as she asks this question, her brows are furrowed.
Looking at her expression, Li Guaiguai didn't rush to answer the question. She casually pinched Cheng Du's earlobe and gently squeezed it. She really liked the soft feeling and this action made her feel at ease. She liked pinching people's earlobes, an odd habit she didn't know when it appeared.
"I...uh...how about we sleep together?"
She spoke, deliberately lowering her voice while still holding onto Cheng Du's earlobe. She instinctively tightened her grip and gave it a little squeeze.
Feeling the pressure and friction in her ear, Cheng Du was completely confused by Li Guaiguai's words. She didn't understand what Li Guaiguai meant at all.
Was this a prank? She even started to suspect the intention behind Li Guaiguai's words, whether it was to "harm her."
Seeing Cheng Du's bewildered expression, Li Guaiguai couldn't help but laugh. That silly girl, she could really be clueless at times.
"What...you said you would always like me, didn't you? Little bodyguard."
As she said that, she let go of Cheng Du's earlobe and rested both hands on Cheng Du's shoulders. Eventually, she ended up sitting on Cheng Du's lap, facing her, with her arms around Cheng Du's neck, looking down at her with a faint smile on her face.
Hearing that word coming from Li Guaiguai's mouth, Cheng Du had a brief moment of confusion, but she quickly regained her composure. It was precisely because of this that she knew Li Guaiguai was just teasing her.
"When did you find out?" she asked the person in front of her.
But Li Guaiguai's next words made her doubt her own understanding once again.
"When did I find out what? What are you talking about?" But Li Guaiguai laughed even more happily, looking as if she truly didn't understand, as if she were just joking around.
"Didn't you say... bodyguard?" Cheng Du was a bit confused. Li Guaiguai's hints in her words were so obvious, wasn't it the meaning she thought?
"Yes, aren't you?" Li Guaiguai asked with a smile.
Cheng Du was momentarily speechless, she truly was, but how should she put it, she hesitated.
"Look at you, you've been protecting me all this time, and now I have to rely on you again, so aren't you my little bodyguard?"
Listening to Li Guaiguai list reasons and hearing her joking tone, Cheng Du suddenly felt a lot more relieved, but a suddenly emerging murky emotion heightened the sense of loss in her tone. "So... it means that."
Seeing the confusion in Cheng Du's eyes, Li Guaiguai couldn't help but feel a tightening in her heart. Sometimes, she didn't have as much courage as she imagined, especially when she urgently needed an answer and the other person hesitated. She would choose to wrap herself up, so she still appeared nonchalant. "So let's sleep together once. Cheng Du," if you can agree.
But Cheng Du still didn't respond to her. Cheng Du just looked at her without saying anything.
So... she took Cheng Du's silence as approval.
She leaned in willingly, offering her own lips, just a fingertip's distance away.
"Why do you have to be like this?"
Faced with the sudden question, their lips, only a slight distance apart, abruptly stopped. Li Guaiguai's gaze quickly scanned the other's nose, before finally settling on their lips. Her lips curved slightly upward, and she replied, "Because it's boring~"
Cheng Du originally thought that a kiss without love wouldn't elicit any reaction, but she was wrong.
Even though Cheng Du knew that Li Guaiguai's kiss wasn't driven by affection, but merely a way to alleviate boredom, the friction of their lips weakened her resolve, and any lingering disappointment was pushed out of her mind.
A languid voice whispered in her ear, accompanied by faint breaths and a "battle of lips and tongues," intoxicating them more than either had expected.
In a deadlock of mutual stubbornness, the mouths became the most beloved weapons, with suction and adhesive power. Their supple tongues became the vanguard, both trying to manipulate each other but only sinking themselves deeper.
As their breaths became heavier, they no longer content with the prelude.
