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

The man crouched down in front of her, his thick, tousled hair swaying gently, casting dappled shadows on his forehead. When his light-colored eyes behind his glasses were intently focused on someone, it was only her figure.

His eyes were downcast, and his attitude was devout. He was truly wrong, and he didn't even seek forgiveness. As long as Meng Xiaoyou didn't cry or feel sad, he was willing to do anything.

Meng Xiaoyou's eyes were still brimming with tears, her thick eyelashes were wet and clumped together, and her pure black pupils were crystal clear. With a slight blink, tears rolled down along with bubbles.

Her face was red from the cold, like red plum blossoms dotting the white snow, her complexion tinged with pink, and her crying made her look pitiful.

"Then what... are you going out for?"

"Who are you talking to..."

"Just because it wasn't me, does that mean someone else could kill me?"

She bombarded him with questions in a row, her voice hoarse and soft. If she weren't angry, it would sound like a cat purring and meowing. Although it was a questioning, it only made people's hearts soften.

Pei Sinian pondered, as if he were thinking about something.

The mushroom exploded, immediately bursting into tears, "You actually hesitated? Are you thinking of how to lie to me?"

Pei Sinian: "..."

What a keen intuition!

However, he wasn't thinking about how to fool the fool, because the fool didn't need to think about how to fool him at all; he believed almost everything he was told.

All he was thinking about was whether or not to let her know that they had been targeted by a level-five zombie...

After all... she'd be scared.

They were almost always together. With him around, the zombie wouldn't hurt her. But nothing is absolute. What if the fifth-level zombie appeared while he was cooking?

Seeing the girl's sullen expression, Pei Sinian sighed and automatically concealed the conversation with the female zombie, "I wasn't talking to anyone, I just saw a very powerful zombie, which is probably the fifth-level zombie we encountered in R City last time that chased after us."

"I had just spotted its shadow when I heard some noise coming from your side. I thought it was a zombie, which is why I accidentally hurt you."

It was rare for a man to speak so much in one breath; his voice was cool and indifferent, with almost no emotional fluctuations, and he didn't seem to be lying.

Meng Xiaoyou suddenly tensed up, grabbed his collar and asked, "Really?"

“Of course it’s true.” Pei Sinian lowered his eyes, looking at the audacious little hand at his collar, but did not say anything to stop it.

"Will it come to the village and harm people? Does it have its own thoughts? My special abilities are ineffective against it, right?"

Mushroom easily diverted her attention, released Pei Sinian, and spun around the room like a little top.

Pei Sinian stood up and calmly smoothed out the wrinkles on his collar.

"will not."

It's just a level 5 zombie, what could possibly happen to it...?

Pei Sinian didn't know what level of zombie he was, but he had a premonition that the other zombie was no match for him.

She's uglier than him, stutters more, and isn't as smart.

Not enough to be afraid of.

He remained calm, while Mushroom was nearly driven mad with worry. She turned around a few times, then turned her head and saw that the man's attitude had been good when he apologized earlier, and now he was even straightening his back. She was immediately displeased.

Why is this man always so indifferent?

The thoughts I had forgotten because of the fright resurfaced.

Meng Xiaoyou "floated" in front of Pei Sinian and asked, "Does what you just said still stand?"

The little girl, like a snail hiding in its shell, poked the man's arm with her finger after the rain stopped.

Pei Sinian lowered his head obediently and squeezed out a "Mmm" from his throat.

He scared the fool so much that he had to find a way to make it up to him.

Even if she asked him to return the mushrooms to her, it wouldn't be impossible.

"Then lower your head."

A hint of doubt flashed in Pei Sinian's eyes, but he still did as she said, bending down from his straight back and closing the distance between them.

The sweet aroma filled his nostrils, and he had learned to remain calm and indifferent, no longer wanting to bite her at the drop of a hat like before.

However, the next second, a delicious aroma that could entice a zombie to burst into appetite wafted over.

The girl tiptoed, her soft, boneless hands encircling his neck. Her two soft, rosy lips pressed against the man's pale cheeks, the warm fragrance slowly invading the zombie's already cooled flesh.

Pei Sinian's light gray pupils, like a stagnant pool suddenly shattered, surged with enormous waves. His hand unconsciously tightened around the woman's slender waist, his wildly beating heart telling him what had just happened.

A tentative kiss, fleeting like a dragonfly skimming the water, her lips brushed against the man's cheek, and as if that wasn't enough, she leaned in and sucked on his cheek with the force of drinking water.

When her tiptoes got tired, she deflated and pulled away, her beautiful eyes wide open, carefully observing the man's expression.

But the facts disappointed her.

This man is such a blockhead... His expression didn't change at all, he didn't even blush, and he was as serious as if he were something else.

Meng Xiaoyou, on the other hand, belatedly felt embarrassed and gave him a push.

"Hmph~" What a jerk's reaction! I'll never kiss him again.

Her cheeks were burning hot, and Meng Xiaoyou didn't even dare to look at his reaction anymore. She ran out and slammed the door shut.

When they went outside, they found a group of people standing at the door, looking worried.

Meng Xiaoyou froze on the spot, and asked awkwardly, "Wh...what's wrong?"

Everyone stared at her nervously.

The two of them just came back from outside, one of them was still crying, so it's hard to say they're not overthinking things.

Meng Xiaoyou and her companion stayed here and interacted with some of the people. They had a good impression of Meng Xiaoyou and, fearing that the young girl might be taken advantage of, they all came to check on her.

At this moment, the little girl's originally fair cheeks were flushed red. She had just finished crying, and her face was like a delicate flower battered by rain. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her gaze was evasive and misty. Anyone who saw her would know that she had suffered a great injustice.

At the door next door, Tang Shengnan also stood with his hands on his hips, observing carefully.

Aunt Ge from the kitchen came over carrying a cleaver.

Meng Xiaoyou's eyelashes trembled in fright, "Auntie?"

Who...who are they trying to kill?

Aunt Ge's hands were red from the cold, and fearing she would frighten Meng Xiaoyou, she quickly hid the knife behind her back.

"I heard you got into a fight with your boyfriend and didn't have time to put the knife down. How are you? Don't cry. Come with me, I'll make you something delicious."

Meng Xiaoyou: "..."

The mushrooms weren't very hungry; they just wanted to find a quiet place to hibernate.

However, the cold wind calmed her down considerably. She sniffed and explained, "Thank you, it's alright, we didn't argue."

How could they not have argued? Look how much the kid is crying.

The crowd clearly did not believe it.

So, when Pei Sinian, his zombie brain, came to his senses from that kiss and came out, he was met with the condemning gazes of everyone.

They didn't speak directly, but their eyes were filled with filth, as if to say: You're a terrible person for making your girlfriend cry.

Pei Sinian: "..."

His gaze shifted downwards, and he even caught a glimpse of the kitchen knife that Aunt Ge pulled out from behind her back...
