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

Meng Xiaoyou felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. The walls around her were made of ice, and she couldn't see inside from the outside, nor could she see outside from inside.

It took her a lot of effort to get Pei Sinian to release her chin, but the skin felt like it had been licked by fire, burning and stinging. In contrast, Pei Sinian looked completely heartless.

Mushrooms have tempers too. I told her that if she was unhappy about anything, she could tell me and not make her think. But she just wouldn't say a word, as if she didn't have a mouth.

The timid mushroom was very disappointed in its human friend. It hung its head and ignored him, feeling as if a boulder had rolled down a mountain and crushed its mushroom cap, leaving not a trace...

Finally, after Meng Xiaoyou's silence, the man, who was usually very sparing with words, spoke.

He said, "Are you avoiding me because of my identity, or because I scared you just now?"

This was the longest sentence the man had spoken since their reunion, his calm voice masking his inner emotions. Only Mr. Zombie knew that his heart was pounding erratically, as if it were about to leap out of his chest; he could even hear the thumping of his heart, the uncontrollable pounding causing him a surge of irritation.

He lowered his eyes and wiped away the tears from the corners of Meng Xiaoyou's eyes. His movements were stiff and not even gentle. But if Gu Jianguo and the others saw this, they would be shocked. The big boss was actually wiping away someone else's tears. They would rather believe that Qin Shi Huang was resurrected than believe that the big boss could have such a "gentle" and humane side.

Pei Sinian wiped her skin carefully, his cool fingertips brushing against her delicate, warm skin. It was refreshingly cool, something Meng Xiaoyou would have loved in the summer, but it was winter now, and it was cold outside. She couldn't control her body's instincts and shrank back. Seeing the man's expression turn cold again, she knew he had misunderstood again, and reluctantly let out a questioning whisper: "Hmm?"

Her eyelashes trembled nervously, her dark pupils, just washed clean by tears, were clear and bright, and her face showed confusion and doubt. "Of course I'm afraid that you were...very fierce just now."

The thought of the man staring at her like a stranger made Mushroom unable to hold back her accusations, repeating loudly, "Super fierce!"

"I'm going to cut ties with you for an hour!"

Pei Sinian ignored the part about breaking off their friendship. His light gray eyes reflected her sullen face, and the calm depths of his eyes gradually crumbled.

His fingertips touched the corner of her eye, gently brushing against her curled eyelashes. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was more steady than before.

"Are you really not afraid?"

Meng Xiaoyou found this man very strange. Feeling uncomfortable from his caresses, she turned her face away, blinked, and then, realizing something was amiss, turned back to glare at him angrily: "What are you talking about? Why should I be afraid of you? Why should I be afraid of your status? What is your status?"

Mr. Zombie: "???"

This time, he was a beat slow to react. His zombie brain worked sluggishly, but he grasped the key point: "I can control zombies..."

"So what? So what if I can control zombies?" The little girl remained puzzled, her appearance innocent and pure, as if she could be easily fooled...

For Meng Xiaoyou, zombies can have superpowers, and so can humans. Pei Sinian was even able to dig out the crystal cores of zombies and forcibly awaken his superpowers. So what if he can control zombies?

Mushroom is just timid, but she has a strong ability to accept things. Even if you tell her that Pei Sinian can control humans, she can adjust her mindset.

So she looked at Pei Sinian with an expression that said, "Don't make a fuss."

Mr. Zombie fell silent.

Does the little white wolf not seem to realize he's a zombie? It turns out his mindset has been fluctuating for the past month, frantically searching for her, having all sorts of crazy ideas running through his mind, and thinking every day about how to punish the disobedient little white wolf. It's all just a one-man show of his own madness.

Mr. Zombie stood there like a sculpted ice sculpture, unsure how to react... his expression was quite subtle.

But then, Mushroom added insult to injury. She grabbed his wrist with one hand and pointed her index finger at his chest with the other, saying, "You're not trying to kill Mushroom to silence me just because I know you control zombies, are you?"

The more Mushroom thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Her eyes were still red and wide open. "How could you do this? Aren't we good friends? If you had just told me, I wouldn't have told anyone."

Her fingers were soft, but the man's chest was hard. After poking for a while, Pei Sinian showed no other symptoms. Instead, her fingers started to hurt. She withdrew her hand and complained that his chest was too hard and that he was too petty, judging a mushroom by the standards of a petty person.

In short, once she unleashed her full power, Mr. Zombie's clumsy mouth simply couldn't keep up. He pursed his pale, lifeless lips, unable to utter a single word, and simply covered his mushroom-shaped mouth with his large hand.

His hands were enormous, and Meng Xiaoyou's face was small, so when he covered her up, the lower half of her face was under his hands, only revealing a pair of bright, watery eyes with thick eyelashes that fluttered as if they could speak.

Under such scrutiny, Pei Sinian, who was usually inhuman, surprisingly felt somewhat guilty.

Slightly unwilling, he asked her, "Then why did you run away?"

“Buzz—I—I was afraid of getting you into trouble, so I ran away, but I didn’t expect to fall and faint, and then I was pulled into the car.”

Because her mouth was covered, Meng Xiaoyou had difficulty speaking. She described the situation slowly and deliberately, raising her eyelids to indicate that she had bumped her forehead and gotten a big bump.

The man placed his other hand against her forehead. "Here?"

Without his hand restraining her, Meng Xiaoyou quietly moved back, her eyes almost pouting in grievance, and nodded: "Yeah...it hurt a lot back then."

She woke up suddenly in an unfamiliar environment with bumps on her forehead and the back of her head. Mu Qingfeng's attitude was terrible, and she didn't dare to say a word. She could only silently lick her wounds alone in the corner of the car.

She imagined that if Pei Sinian were by her side, although he couldn't take away her pain, he could at least touch her mushroom-shaped umbrella.

As Meng Xiaoyou was thinking, she suddenly felt a cool sensation between her brows, a soft touch that exploded on her forehead as if countless electric currents were spreading to her limbs and bones. Her body went limp unexpectedly, and she opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

The man's cool aura enveloped her, and his fingers, which had been on her brow, moved down from there, across her nose and lips, to her chin, where they gently lifted it.

He bent down, his handsome face looming larger, exuding a unique, aloof aura, like a flower from a high mountain fallen to earth, his thin lips pressed against her brows and eyes.

From her angle, all she could see was his smooth jawline and his pale skin. The subtle touch was fleeting; she watched as the man's lips, which had kissed her, moved away from her...

Her cheeks flushed, and she stared intently at his lips, her mind reeling.

It turns out that his lips weren't as hard as others'; they were soft.

It felt surprisingly comfortable...
