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

Meng Xiaoyou woke up with a start.

She sprang up with a thud, her head hitting the roof of the car with a thud. Dizzy and slumped back, she realized something was wrong with her surroundings.

She was in a car, the interior was warm and cozy, and there were several other people around her...

Meng Xiaoyou's head was throbbing with pain, and she subconsciously called out, "Pei Sinian?"

She shuddered, wanting to ask, "Why did you bite me?", when she suddenly heard someone next to her say something else.

"you're awake?"

Pei Sinian, who was always by my side, wasn't there, but the voice sounded familiar, like I'd heard it somewhere before...

Having just woken up from her coma, Mushroom was still a little dazed, and the pain in the back of her head and forehead reminded her of the stupid thing she had done.

Running away is one thing, but then you cleverly fall down. Falling is one thing, but getting up doesn't teach you a lesson, and you end up falling into the ditch again?

Meng Xiaoyou thought that she was the legendary silly roe deer, unable to even run away properly.

Her frostbitten skin was itchy and numb, which was very uncomfortable. She scratched the back of her hand and propped herself up. Pei Sinian should have finished fighting the zombies by now, right?

As a result, she was so useless that she lost herself.

"Are you OK?"

"Huh?" Meng Xiaoyou's pupils slowed to focus, settling on the boy. He was a very handsome young man, speaking softly, and looked somewhat familiar...

She suddenly realized: "Oh! You're that..."

"That's right, that's right!" Jiang Xiaofeng nodded repeatedly, surprised that Meng Xiaoyou still remembered him. "Yes, it's me..."

"insect?"

Jiang Xiaofeng: "...?"

His face fell: "What kind of bug?"

After Meng Xiaoyou finished speaking, she explained somewhat embarrassedly, "What impressed me most about you is that you can even see the insects on the leaves at night."

Back then, they were patrolling the Moonlight Base at night looking for female zombies when Jiang Xiaofeng yelled, scaring her into running around in a panic. But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just an insect on a leaf.

Therefore, the mushroom was the one that left the deepest impression on it.

Jiang Xiaofeng: "..." He shut up.

"Where is this?" Mushroom looked left and right, and through the rearview mirror, she saw two familiar faces, Mu Qingfeng and Su Lanyue, and was immediately stunned.

"Are you sure you're rescuing someone and not kidnapping them?" Meng Xiaoyou didn't have a good impression of these two people. Even though they had saved her, she still couldn't help but dislike them.

Mu Qingfeng had a bump on the back of his head that was still throbbing. He glanced at the mirror and saw a girl's face in the mirror looking frightened and uneasy. Her pupils were big and round, like a cat with its fur standing on end, and her pupils were trembling slightly.

What a coward.

He smirked. "We just picked you up on the way back to City B. Who would want to kidnap you?"

His words were as unpleasant as ever.

Not a single word was something Mushroom wanted to hear.

Meng Xiaoyou frowned, but still thanked him politely. Then she clung to the car door and said, "Stop the car and let me out."

She still needs to go find Pei Sinian.

In that urgent situation, would Pei Sinian have seen her run away and thought she was afraid of dying?

If they don't run, how long will this stalemate last?

Mushroom thought of that eerie dream again and silently shivered. Pei Sinian in the dream was so terrifying, as if he wanted to eat her up.

No, she has to go back right away.

But Mu Qingfeng said, "We're almost at G City. Even if you drive yourself, it will take you three hours to get back from here."

The mushroom-shaped hairs suddenly stood on end.

Three hours?

Besides, she can't drive, and it would take three hours to drive there; she can't possibly walk back.

In the passenger seat, Su Lanyue had already composed herself and said softly to Meng Xiaoyou, "Besides, Mom is sick, and she must really want you to go back and see her."

"I haven't said goodbye to my friends yet... Just let me go, I'll figure it out myself." After much hesitation, Meng Xiaoyou chose Pei Sinian over the original owner's mother.

The original owner's mother couldn't say she did anything wrong to the original owner, but some of her remarks were very uncomfortable.

They always say things like, "If only you were half as sensible as Lan Yue."

"We've wronged you all these years, but you're all right now, aren't you? Things will only get better from now on. Let's not dwell on the past. Your adoptive parents raised you, why haven't you ever mentioned that?"

"Mom is doing this for your own good. You're not allowed to go out and associate with shady people anymore."

The "shady character" that Su's mother referred to was the son of the boss when the original owner was working as a minor. The boss was initially unwilling to hire a minor, but it was the son who pleaded for her, saying that he needed a friend to study with, and only then did he agree to take her in.

The two are just ordinary friends.

The original owner was not used to returning to City B, so she used an old-fashioned mobile phone that she had saved up for half a year to call him. When Su's mother found out, she took away her phone and said that their relationship was improper and that she should cut off all contact with him in the future.

Su Lanyue and Mu Qingfeng were inseparable all the time, and Su's mother didn't say anything; on the contrary, she was very supportive.

Ultimately, it's because Mu Qingfeng's family and the Su family are a good match.

Or perhaps, the original owner was disliked, and everything she did was wrong.

Meng Xiaoyou rarely thought about the original owner's past. Just thinking about it made her feel like someone was throwing mushrooms into the water to drown her.

She didn't want to go back, so Mushroom patted the car door to indicate that she wanted to get out.

Ahead, Mu Qingfeng spoke with some displeasure: "That's your mother. Stop making a scene. We need to find a safe place to rest before dark. Either you jump down, or you'd better behave."

Who are you talking to? Do you really think she wouldn't dare to jump?

Even in the freezing cold, Mu Qingfeng drove extremely fast, the surrounding scenery rushing past. Meng Xiaoyou's eyes followed the scenery, and finally she mustered up her courage and gripped the door handle tightly.

Then...she curled up into a small, aggrieved ball.

Mushrooms aren't people, but this person is a real dog. Do you think mushrooms are stupid?

She's not stupid at all; she's quite clever most of the time. If she jumped off at that speed, she'd be smashed into a mushroom pancake, the kind that breaks into several pieces, and she'd never see Pei Sinian again in her lifetime.

Be patient! Wait until the car stops before figuring out how to leave.

She bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes reddening, and remained silent.

Mu Qingfeng caught a glimpse of her timid and cowardly appearance and scoffed inwardly. Uncle Su and Aunt Su had taken over the family business and managed the Su family in an orderly manner, so how could their own daughter be so incompetent?

Compared to Meng Xiaoyou, Lan Yue is understanding, gentle, and kind, more like a member of the Su family, and more suitable to be his wife in the future.

When the Mu family heard that Lan Yue was not the biological daughter of the Su family, they began to have a problem with Lan Yue and wanted him to keep his distance from Lan Yue and get closer to Meng Xiaoyou.

Even on this trip, they repeatedly reminded him to bring Meng Xiaoyou back and to remember to cultivate their relationship along the way.

He scoffed at this, calling them a bunch of snobs. He was the future head of the Mu family, and his wife should be gentle and virtuous.

Does Meng Xiaoyou even deserve it?
