The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Du Xiao felt so heavy-hearted as if a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds was weighing on him, and every step he took seemed so weak and slow.

On the way back, she kept kicking the innocent little stone under her feet like a child in anger, as if she wanted to vent all her frustration on it.

She could never have imagined that her always beautiful appearance would suffer such a tragic Waterloo here. The Fu Ji in front of her was like an iceberg, completely oblivious to her beauty.

However, on second thought, didn't this just demonstrate her discerning eye? With just one glance, she could tell that Fu Ji wasn't someone who was easily swayed by beauty.

Thinking of this, the haze in Du Xiao's heart gradually dissipated, and he was no longer as sad as before.

So, she deliberately slowed down her pace and quietly walked to Fu Ji's side, trying to find a suitable topic to break the slightly awkward silence between them.

"Fu Ji...um, can I call you Brother Ji from now on?" Du Xiao asked cautiously, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in his eyes.

"Brother Chicken?"

Fu Ji frowned rarely.

He didn't particularly care about being addressed, but for some reason, when he heard the word "Brother Ji", he always felt a little awkward and even harsh, and a feeling of resistance involuntarily surged in his heart.

"No." Fu Ji answered decisively, his tone firm and resolute, leaving no room for Du Xiao to negotiate.

"I'm sorry." Being rejected so decisively, Du Xiao suddenly felt his eyes getting hot, tears welling up in his eyes, almost bursting out.

She suppressed the moisture in her eyes and asked with a choked voice, "Do you... hate me very much?"

"it's OK."

Fu Ji responded calmly, his eyes still looking straight ahead, not looking at Du Xiao beside him.

Du Xiao didn't do anything that he hated, so he naturally had no reason to hate this person.

But she really talks a lot.

If her brother hadn't told her to be polite to others, Fu Ji wouldn't have responded to her.

So after answering this question, Fu Ji quietly quickened his pace.

After hearing his answer, Du Xiao's depressed mood disappeared and a faint smile appeared on his face.

She followed Fu Ji's footsteps closely, her steps brisk, even her hair revealing joy.

After the two came back, Fu Ji immediately walked to Lu Shi's side when he saw her, his eyes shining, and he looked like he was asking for praise, as if to say: Look, I have completed another task perfectly.

Lu Shi touched his head as if he was not surprised, "That's great."

Fu Ji smiled sweetly with satisfaction.

Watching their interaction from a distance, Du Xiao's eyes dimmed a little.

Lu Shi also looked at her at this time, and when he saw her true face after washing it, a hint of obvious surprise flashed in his eyes.

I didn't expect that this girl's true face under the dirty dust would be so beautiful.

But what made her curious was why this girl suddenly washed off her protective film?

Lu Shi took the initiative to speak to her: "Ms. Du looks very beautiful today."

Du Xiao was immersed in a low mood. When she heard Lu Shi's words, she was already feeling guilty and suddenly froze. She stammered, "Thank you... Thank you, Miss Lu."

"You're welcome. I'm just telling the truth."

I have to say, this kind of appearance is really pleasing to the eye.

Lu Shi admired and nodded, ignoring Fu Ji beside him.

After a while, Du Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, took the initiative to take a few steps forward again, "Miss Lu, are you hungry? How about this, Brother Fu Ji and I go find some food together."

Lu Shi really thought about this proposal carefully, and finally rejected it: "Forget it, Fu Ji is faster, you can't keep up with him."

Thinking of Fu Ji's amazing efficiency these days, Du Xiao nodded reluctantly and squeezed out a slight agreement from his throat: "Yeah."

Her eyes were fixed on Fu Ji's receding figure, not concealing her inner desire and admiration. Lu Shi, standing beside her, took it all in, and naturally didn't miss Du Xiao's sticky gaze that seemed to be able to draw strings.

At this moment, Lu Shi suddenly understood.

No wonder Du Xiao, who usually wants to minimize her presence, suddenly became active and showed off her beauty.

It turns out that he has taken a fancy to Fu Ji.

But she was destined to be disappointed.

Not to mention that she couldn't get past this hurdle, she couldn't even get away with Fu Ji.

Well, then she'll just enjoy the show.

In the following days, Lu Shi continued to walk around with his camera. Led by Du Xiao and Yu Hang, they visited several tourist attractions.

It was during these few days that Lu Shi turned a blind eye to Du Xiaoming's attempts to find opportunities and excuses to contact Fu Ji. Sometimes she would even follow Du Xiao's suggestion and let Fu Ji be alone with her.

And she carefully observed Du Xiao's expression every time they came back.

When I was with Fu Ji a few days ago, I couldn’t say I was happy, but I was full of fighting spirit. But when I came back today, my face seemed to be gloomy and I had no interest in doing anything.

Lu Shi guessed that she had already taken action, perhaps to test, confess or seduce, but the result was obviously not to her liking, so she didn't even feel like eating.

However, Fu Ji, one of the parties involved, was eating with great relish, and there was no sign of abnormality on his face.

Lu Shi felt that he couldn't act that out with his acting skills, so the fool Fu Ji might not have taken Du Xiao's girlish thoughts into consideration, and might not even have realized that she liked him.

This is the main reason why Lu Shi trusts him.

During the meal, except for Fu Ji, the other three people each had their own thoughts.

After finishing the meal, Yu Hang pulled the person to the outermost corner, glanced around like a thief, and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see anyone else.

He lowered his voice and asked seriously, "Tell me, are you attracted to that man named Fu Ji?"

Du Xiao's abnormal behavior in the past few days naturally did not escape the attention of Yu Hang, who knew her best.

When he thought of this, everything wrong in Yu Hang's heart made sense.

No wonder she asked such a strange question at the beginning. It turned out that she wanted to find confidence in him, and he, without knowing it, actually played this role by accident.

Du Xiao didn't think of hiding it from the person who had gone through many life and death tests with her, so she admitted it decisively.

"Yes, I like him. You can see that he's very good, isn't he? It's normal for me to like him."

Yu Hang frowned, stamping his feet nervously. "Although he's excellent, he's also dangerous. You've seen it all while following him recently. The zombies don't dare get close to him. He only needs to wave his hand, and hundreds of zombies will turn to ashes."

"Besides being nice to Miss Lu, he's very cold and indifferent at other times."

"Do you think you can control such a person?"

"If you fail, can you bear the consequences?"
