A cute, timid mushroom mistakenly takes the zombie king for her boyfriend and sticks close to him.

After breakfast, Mushroom, feeling preoccupied, followed Pei Sinian to the kitchen to see Mushroom.

Upon first contact with the cold air, she shrank her neck, and the whole mushroom looked as if it had been hit by frost, shivering as she followed behind Pei Sinian.

She wanted to get closer to Pei Sinian, but then suddenly remembered that men are colder, so she pulled away in disgust.

Anything is fine in summer, but having an ice cube is very refreshing.

In winter, of course, the opposite is true; nobody wants to touch ice.

Even if the mushrooms washed away Pei Sinian's body heat, they couldn't withstand it.

Pei Sinian, who was already prepared to rub mushrooms against him as usual, exclaimed: "?!"

In a daze, he seemed to see the disdain in the little fool's eyes.

Not sure, take another look.

The little girl's face and nose were red from the cold, and her obsidian pupils were misty. Apart from that, her expression was clean and innocent, not like she would dislike him.

It must be an illusion, right?

Mr. Zombie kept his doubts to himself, while the zombie and the mushroom, each harboring their own secrets, went to the kitchen.

The kitchen is large, and people in the village use it whenever they need to cook. However, most people just grab something to eat to tide them over. Not everyone is as well-off as they are; being able to fill their stomachs is already a blessing.

Upon entering the kitchen, it was indeed very warm, and Aunt Ge had specially placed mushrooms in a small corner of the kitchen.

The mushrooms were still wilted, but they looked better than they had a couple of days ago. Underneath the large mushrooms, a dozen or so tiny mushrooms, no bigger than a human fingernail, were growing, their tiny white and round caps sticking out cutely.

Meng Xiaoyou exclaimed in surprise, and lovingly patted the little mushroom, "The flowerpot is too crowded again."

Mushrooms grow very quickly. Pei Sinian stood to the side and glanced at them.

"After two more, I'll go find a bigger one."

Meng Xiaoyou nodded, her dark eyes sparkling. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her eyes darted around, and the tuft of hair on her head trembled and stood up.

Pei Sinian calmly pressed her back down, and the evil corpse whispered, "You still need to eat well. If you lose weight, I'll make you mushroom soup to help you recover."

Meng Xiaoyou: "..."

The idea that had just arisen was nipped in the bud. She glared angrily at Pei Sinian, snorted loudly, glanced at the mushroom babies one last time, and then ignored him.

Aunt Ge laughed from the side, "So the little girl likes mushrooms. There's nothing wrong with that. Growing mushrooms is easier than growing flowers. Your boyfriend is doing this for your own good. In this freezing weather, you need to eat more to have the strength to get through the winter. Being too thin won't do."

Mushrooms are indeed easy to grow; they've survived all that terrible food they've eaten for so long.

Meng Xiaoyou secretly thought to herself, "What 'raising mushrooms'? They're clearly trying to win her over with their stomachs."

Damn it, he caught me.

I used to think that someone was serious and emotionless, but who knew that some people are two-faced and might actually want to date her.

But looking at Pei Sinian's indifferent face, he didn't seem to like her at all.

If he likes her, should they be together?

Meng Xiaoyou suddenly realized that although mushrooms and humans are of different species, she now seemed to be a person.

It's the dead of winter, and I'm so worried.

Before Pei Sinian could say anything, Mushroom's brain was already about to short-circuit.

She decided to ask for outside help.

After observing the little mushrooms for a while, Meng Xiaoyou refused Pei Sinian's offer to follow her and decided to contemplate mushroom life and search for her Sister Tang.

Pei Sinian watched the little fool leave alone, without following him, and instead returned to his own room.

The room was heated, and the zombie's stiff body relaxed.

The blankets that were once neatly arranged on the bed have now become a soft, limp lump.

Sunlight streamed through the window onto the bed, casting a long shadow on the floor as the man approached.

His face was as white as ice and snow, with distinct features and smooth lines. His lowered eyes had long eyelashes, and when his gaze fell on the quilt, his gray pupils rippled with emotion, and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes.

The man lifted the covers, as if he could still smell the warm scent of human flesh, and a "Dating Guide" fell out.

He turned a page.

The way to a woman's heart is through her stomach.

If Meng Xiaoxu had turned to the second or third page, she would have found it was a recipe, not a so-called dating manual.

Recalling someone's reaction today, Pei Sinian's usually indifferent lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

That idiot finally realized something was wrong with him.

To cook a gourd properly, you need to add some heat; otherwise, it won't cook through.

-

"Ah sneeze~"

Meng Xiaoyou straddled a chair in Tang Shengnan's room, resting her chin on the back of the chair with her two small hands, and sighed, "Sister Tang, I think he caught me."

Tang Shengnan sneakily leaned over and pinched Meng Xiaoyou's cheek; the soft, smooth touch made her love it.

"How did he get caught? Where's Pei Sinian today?"

Meng Xiaoyou's face was being rubbed, and her speech became somewhat slurred as she mumbled, "He's got my stomach covered, now he wants my heart too."

Tang Shengnan exclaimed, "That's too much!"

That's too much! They only caught me now. I thought I had already captured their heart a long time ago.

Mushroom didn't catch Tang Shengnan's subtext. Her ahoge drooped, and she looked utterly dejected: "But I still don't think Pei Sinian likes me. If he did...buzz buzz buzz..."

Tang Shengnan: "...I can't hear you, you're speaking like a mosquito. Speak louder."

Whether it was from being pinched or not, Meng Xiaoyou's face felt a little hot, and her skin was faintly red. She pursed her lips and said, "Well... it's not that it's not allowed."

The mushroom had a change of heart.

Putting aside the issue of interracial relationships, although she objects to being called human, she is indeed human now.

Why think so much? Just let things take their course. Just because you weren't in a relationship when you were a mushroom doesn't mean you can't be in a relationship now that you're a human.

Moreover, it's very comfortable to be with Pei Sinian.

If they start dating, then Pei Sinian's entire being will belong to her, and they can disregard the differences between men and women! She can then act even more recklessly and domineeringly, clinging to him however she wants?

Sleep however you want!

I've heard that humans will unconditionally obey their girlfriends. When the time comes, she'll give the order, so why would Pei Sinian have to worry about kidnapping her mushroom cub?

She's so smart!

Meng Xiaoyou's eyes suddenly lit up, but soon she became troubled.

This is all wishful thinking on her part. Why should Pei Sinian follow her ideas? What if it's all just her fantasy and Pei Sinian doesn't like her at all?

The human world is indeed so complicated, and life is not easy. Mushroom sighed, pressed Tang Shengnan's hand, gently rubbed her cheek against it, and said in a soft voice, "Sister Tang, how can you know whether Pei Sinian likes me or not?"

The little cutie took the initiative to cuddle with him, a treatment usually reserved for Pei Sinian. Tang Shengnan was flattered and, without thinking, blurted out, "Do I even need to think about it? He definitely likes you. Everyone in the whole village knows you two are a couple."

Meng Xiaoyou's round eyes were wide with confusion as she repeated in disbelief, "I didn't know, but they all did?"
