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

In a foul-smelling environment, fresh air is suddenly poured in, along with sunlight, which mushrooms used to hate the most.

She stared at the hand that had come in. The man, who was usually a germaphobe, had come into contact with the rotting zombies this time, and hadn't even had time to put on gloves before rushing into the horde of zombies.

The exact time was already unclear back in Muquan County; it must have been about a month later.

Even after a month apart, Meng Xiaoyou recognized the owner of that hand at a glance.

Pei Sinian had large hands with distinct knuckles, superior and straight finger bones, and cold, pale skin that had no warmth at all—but that was exactly what mushrooms liked.

He could casually toss aside several zombies like a discarded rag doll.

The surroundings fell silent. The zombies, like mice encountering a cat, froze in their previous positions, their throats choked, not daring to utter a sound.

As the light grew brighter, the owner of the hand revealed his true identity.

After not seeing him for many days, the man was as handsome as ever, almost unreal. The difference was that his hair was slightly disheveled, his expression was terrifyingly cold, and he looked at her as if she were a stranger.

Meng Xiaoyou felt uneasy under the man's gaze, and the tuft of hair that had stood up on her head, just like its owner, timidly lay back down.

She shrank further into the bubble, wishing she could perform a mushroom disappearing trick right there and then.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like Pei Sinian’s expression has gotten colder, as if he could swallow a mushroom whole at any moment.

This Pei Sinian seemed so unfamiliar to Meng Xiaoyou. A little scared, she looked up at him expectantly and whispered, "Pei... Pei Sinian?"

Pei Sinian remained unmoved, but his eyelashes drooped behind his glasses, his sharp eyes scrutinizing her from head to toe.

The little girl, pale-faced, hid in the bubble, just like when they first met, looking disheveled. The only difference was that her eyes were wet and filled with him, and she was calling his name. Afraid of upsetting him, she spoke softly, and if Pei Sinian hadn't had such keen hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying at all.

After many days, they met again, and the troublesome little ingrate almost turned into a zombie right under his nose.

Pei Sinian didn't even want to think about what irreversible consequences would have occurred if he hadn't been driving and had arrived a moment later.

If Meng Xiaoyou were to become a zombie, it would be tantamount to submitting to him in disguise, and she would never be able to escape his control.

He can use his power and mental strength to make Meng Xiaoyou do anything.

However, that was not what he wanted to see.

Perhaps back in the library, he fantasized every day about turning her into a zombie, making her his possession, and having her obey his commands.

As time went on, Mr. Zombie's thinking became more and more sophisticated, and he realized that Meng Xiaoyou turning into a zombie was not what he wanted.

He loves her warmth, loves her calling his name from behind, and loves her understanding of peace and joy, the fear she feels when faced with danger, and the happiness she finds in interesting things.

Even though Meng Xiaoyou knew his identity and ran away, Mr. Zombie never considered turning her into a zombie.

At most... we'll just have to clean up behind closed doors.

At this moment, this ingrate is still afraid of him and is trying to escape.

What? Other zombies can stay by her side, but he, a zombie, can't?

Pei Sinian's lips twitched slightly, and he silently mocked himself. He even maliciously popped the little ingrate's purple bubble with his hand, bent down, picked him up from the ground, and placed him in front of him.

To get closer, the man remained bent over, yet his back was as straight as a pine tree. His familiar, cold aura enveloped her, and his handsome, almost inhuman face, with its high, straight nose, almost touched her small nose.

His expression remained indifferent, his light-colored pupils eerily calm.

"Meng Xiaoyou..." Why did you stop running?

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Sinian noticed that her eyes were visibly red, and he suddenly choked up, then silently straightened his back and distanced himself from her.

He thought she was afraid of him, but unexpectedly, when he backed away, the little ingrate suddenly jumped into his arms with a "waa".

The long-lost warmth, a soft, cozy feeling filled the emptiness in my chest, and my heart, which had been dormant for a month, beat again, like embers that had burned out being rekindled with new embers.

Ha~ Knowing you can't escape, you're planning to use this trick to beg for mercy and escape from him again when he's off guard?

Mr. Zombie is smart now and won't fall for it.

He remained expressionless, tearing her off his body to show he wasn't buying her act.

"Pei Sinian~! Waaah~" Meng Xiaoyou's eyes were filled with tears, her eyes were as red as a rabbit's, her dark pupils were wet, her eyelashes were wet, and her whole mushroom was covered in frost. She noticed Pei Sinian's abnormality and was very scared, but compared to the grievances she had accumulated over the past month, it was nothing.

The thought of being isolated and helpless during her time away, with only the scheming Su Lanyue and the constantly mocking Mu Qingfeng around her, made her feel even more aggrieved.

She didn't want to drag Pei Sinian into fighting the zombie, so she ran away clumsily, rolling around several times and bumping her forehead and the back of her head several times.

He should have stayed by Pei Sinian's side, letting him rub his mushroom caps, before comfortably returning to the mountain villa to recover and wait for the shovel official to feed him.

The results of it?

She was rescued by those bad guys. Being around them, even breathing felt wrong. She had to curse Mushroom a few times to vent her anger, even though she hadn't done anything.

Compared to these humans, Meng Xiaoyou realized that she had lived such a good life before because she was protected by them. If she hadn't met Pei Sinian, Sister Tang, and Xiao Moqiong, her fate would have been much worse.

From now on, she will treat them even better.

Sister Tang wanted to pinch my cheeks, so I let her. She could pinch me however she wanted; Mushroom was very generous.

She also needs to try her best to help Xiao Moqiong and the crew-cut zombie reconcile.

And as for Pei Sinian, who cares if he likes her or not? What's the use anyway? So many couples who are head over heels in love aren't necessarily closer than her and Pei Sinian.

Their relationship was even closer than romantic love.

From now on, she will try her best to help Pei Sinian fulfill his wishes, whatever he likes.

What Pei Sinian didn't like, she didn't like either.

He doesn't like her kissing him, so he won't kiss her.

But before that, Pei Sinian seemed to be angry?

Meng Xiaoyou didn't know why Pei Sinian was angry. Was it because she left without saying goodbye?

This mushroom can explain it.

Let the mushroom tell a story first!

Meng Xiaoyou rubbed and snuggled against Pei Sinian, inhaling his scent several times. She wiped her tears with his clothes and complained pitifully, "Pei Sinian! Someone kidnapped me!"

She cried like a baby, but to prevent it from affecting her strength to complain, she temporarily stopped crying, rubbed her eyes with her hands, gathered all her strength in her throat, and complained very loudly!
