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

Pei Sinian's cold gaze softened considerably when it fell upon Meng Xiaoyou. He seemed quite pleased with the sticky mushroom, used his water ability to wash off the dirt, pulled her over, put his arm around her waist, and lifted her up with one hand. "Lift your leg."

Meng Xiaoyou obediently lifted her leg, but he grabbed it with his other hand, pulled up her trouser leg, and revealed a patch of bruises on her thin, bony leg, with small wounds on her ankle, like snake bites, or perhaps from something sharp...

"Does it hurt?"

At first, I noticed a very slight burning sensation, but as I tried to find my way, the pain became so intense that I became numb.

However, the mushroom nodded without hesitation: "It hurts!"

She nodded her head repeatedly, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pretended to be angry, saying, "You're still poking me!"

Pei Sinian was unaware of the connection between the mushrooms in the space and Meng Xiaoyou. He only thought that he had hurt her, so he loosened his grip.

Long, slender fingers gripped the woman's delicate, fair ankle. The stark contrast between the pale white and snow-white skin made the bluish-purple and reddish wounds on her feet all the more shocking.

Under the cold temperature, Mushroom actually felt the numb pain ease somewhat, and unconsciously rubbed her ankle against his palm. "I'll let you hold my hand for a while, but we haven't made up, we're still estranged."

Pei Sinian: "...Hmm."

"Don't think nonsense, and don't you dare touch me later."

"Um……"

"Whatever you heard just now, forget it. Don't hit the child!" Meng Xiaoyou grabbed his collar and threatened him in a low voice.

His eyes were still wet from crying, his curled eyelashes were clumped together, and the corners of his eyes and the tip of his nose were pitifully red. Pei Sinian lowered his eyes, his fingers twitched slightly, and he responded without saying a word, "Mm."

"And you... Hey! Don't leave." Mushroom was being unreasonable for a while when she suddenly felt the man's hand loosen. She panicked and squeezed his strong forearm between her legs, staring at him with pleading eyes, her red lips pursed, and she didn't say a word.

Pei Sinian paused, his indifferent voice deliberately softening as he said to her, "Don't leave. You should have disinfectant in your space. Take it out."

Since meeting Little Silly, she has been frequently injured, and bumps and bruises are commonplace for her. Raising humans is no joke. In addition to diet, Mr. Zombie pays special attention to human health. If there is even a little bleeding, he will suppress his appetite and stare for a long time. If blood had a mind, it would probably shrink back into the blood vessels and tremble in fear because of his stare.

Of course, this injury is obviously more serious.

Pei Sinian gripped Meng Xiaoyou's ankle, gesturing for her to hold the bottle, then dipped a cotton swab in the liquid, "Lift it up a little more."

Meng Xiaoyou struggled to lift her leg, and whispered in his ear, "Why don't you have more hands..."

He held her with one hand, lifted her leg with the other, applied medicine with the third, and when necessary, he would use the other hand to touch her umbilicus to comfort her.

Mr. Zombie was already used to Mushroom's rude demands. When they first met, she tried to be polite by praising him, but she wasn't exactly polite either.

When they get bolder, they like to climb on his head and act arrogantly, but... Mr. Zombie doesn't mind.

Especially the silly little boy's deliberately funny expressions, so cute and fierce, like a toothless kitten, can't hurt him at all, but will tickle him like an itch, and keep tickling his heart.

It can be said that Pei Sinian lowered his bottom line again and again. He couldn't bring himself to eat her when he was keeping her as a reserve food, and he would never do anything to her when he liked her.

To the zombies, she was adorable no matter how she acted up.

Of course, Pei Sinian wasn't good at expressing himself, and he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to say these things out loud, otherwise some idiot might have gotten too cocky.

The man pretended not to hear his little princess's tricky questions, letting her buzz in his ear, and when she wasn't paying attention, he pressed a cotton swab on her wound.

mushroom:"!!!"

Her eyelashes twitched suddenly, and she was about to cry out in pain when the man calmly withdrew the cotton swab. "The child is watching. A mother should set a good example."

Meng Xiaoyou: "Aww...okay."

She tucked her feet in, glanced down at the little zombie, nodded, and solemnly lectured, "See? Your mother is a big mushroom... a strong woman can be flexible and resilient. This little injury is nothing to me. You must be as brave as me when you grow up."

Little Zombie: "..."

It blinked like Meng Xiaoyou, looked at her wound, touched its own forehead, and thought to itself, "It's not even as badly injured as the great demon's beating..."

However, the little zombie didn't say much, but nodded in agreement, his face equally serious: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be as brave as you in the future."

Then defeat the big bad guy and take Mom away! So that Mom will never be hurt again.

After teaching the zombies, Mushroom was quite satisfied. She turned her head back and rubbed it against Pei Sinian's face, but then suddenly remembered that they were now "on bad terms." She quickly pulled her head back, straightened her back, and said, "It was by accident."

"Ok!"

Pei Sinian pretended not to see her little thoughts and gently bounced her head, "Let's go find the 'monster' and figure out a way to cure the poison."

The zombie realized that she was indeed poisoned, though not seriously, but the poison was spreading slowly. It was his dereliction of duty to let her be harmed by something else right under his nose.

He lifted her leg, rubbed it, and coaxed her softly, "It's alright. Once I find it, I'll skin it off and let you deal with it."

Meng Xiaoyou: "That thing looks very dangerous. Why don't we find an exit first and then go find other humans? Humans are smart, they should be able to find an antidote."

Mr. Zombie frowned, disagreeing with her statement, "Humans are stupid."

Meng Xiaoyou: "?"

He changed his tune: "Humans are all stupid except for you."

Okay, okay, she's starting to insult the mushroom again, calling her human. Even though she's human now, she's a mushroom at heart.

Meng Xiaoyou turned her head away, nestled into his arms, and ignored him.

Mr. Zombie: "..."

He slightly curved his thin lips into a smile, showing he had the energy to act out a little, proving his injuries weren't serious.

He carefully held the person in his arms, then looked up again. His handsome, godlike face returned to its indifferent expression, and he commanded, "Go find them."

The zombies all bent over, shivering violently. Those missing limbs, or even those without legs, frantically rummaged with their hands. The group of zombies scattered and desperately began searching for the monster's whereabouts.

Even the fear of monsters couldn't overcome the deep-seated obedience and terror towards that one. In an instant, only two zombies, one big and one small, remained in this open space.

The large zombie lowered its eyes and stared at the small zombie.

A cold hand pressed against the back of the woman's head, burying her face in his chest, and bared his fangs at the little zombie from an angle she couldn't see.

The little zombie was terrified and cried out, "Mommy, he's going to kill me!"

Meng Xiaoyou's body stiffened, and she quickly raised her head. In the blink of an eye, she saw the man with his head bowed and eyes lowered, tidying her clothes. "They're a bit worn. I'll take you out to change your clothes later."

His handsome face showed no murderous intent, as if he hadn't heard the little zombie's complaint. His calm voice was like a carefully polished piece of jade, clear and cold, but pleasant to listen to.

Mushroom responded and said to the little zombie, "I'll keep an eye on him for you. See how nice he is? Be good, and I'll get you a new set of clothes when we get out."

Little zombie: "???"

Mom, was someone really watching you? Was it someone staring at you with the back of your head?
