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

The next morning was a bit chilly, and the autumn wind stung my face slightly. The leaves had finally turned yellow, and the sky was somewhat gloomy, giving me the feeling that a storm was brewing.

Tang Shengnan's room is 51, Building 2, Section D, on the fifth floor. It is connected to Meng Xiaoyou's room, and the old stairwell is right outside the room.

She ate breakfast in her room by herself.

As soon as I opened the door, I was startled by the figure standing at the door next door.

After living in fear and trembling since the apocalypse, I finally managed to get a good night's sleep in the safe base, only to find that there was a zombie squatting at the door. But when I looked closely, it was Meng Xiaoyou.

"What's wrong with you?"

Meng Xiaoyou huddled at the doorway, hugging her knees with her hands, her small chin resting on her knees, her hair draped behind her, her large eyes with slightly swollen eyelids and red corners, her obsidian-like pupils wet, looking like a dog abandoned by a heartless person, her whole appearance pitiful.

When a familiar person called out to her, Meng Xiaoyou's eyes widened again. She looked up at Tang Shengnan and slowly realized that she was being spoken to.

Her slightly cracked lips moved, her voice a little hoarse: "Do you hate me?"

Her voice was fragile and helpless, and Tang Shengnan's heart skipped a beat. She felt so sorry for her that she quickly went over, helped Meng Xiaoyou up, put her arm around her shoulder and patted her, "What's wrong? Of course I don't hate you. I like you more than anything."

"Can I hug you?" Meng Xiaoyou's eyes were red, and there was a hint of unease in them. She nervously fidgeted with her fingers.

"of course can!"

Tang Shengnan couldn't have asked for it more.

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Xiaoyou threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.

"Oh dear? What happened? What happened?" Tang Shengnan was stunned and quickly wiped away her tears with his hand.

Heaven knows she liked the pretty girl at first sight.

Without any ulterior motives, I'm just a sucker for Meng Xiaoyou's looks.

That little face, still so chubby, those big, wet eyes, that little mouth... wow, she's beautiful from head to toe.

However, since Meng Xiaoyou was initially wary of her and Pei Sinian was protecting her, she had no chance to make a move.

Now, this little beauty is crying her eyes out in her arms, and it breaks her heart.

Her fiery temper flared up on the spot.

"Did someone bully you? I'll beat them to a pulp! Where's Pei Sinian? What kind of boyfriend are you, letting someone bully you? Where the hell are you?"

She should have said something, because once she did, the little mushroom cried even harder, purple bubbles flying everywhere, popping open whenever they bumped into something. Tang Shengnan stared in disbelief: "Baby, are you a mermaid baby?"

When she cries, little pearls fall out?

After the little mushroom finished whimpering and crying, it cautiously glanced at her again. Seeing that she didn't seem to dislike it too much, it said shyly in a low voice, "Thank you, you're a good person."

I don't mind mushrooms.

Tang Shengnan was caught off guard by being given the "friend card," and helplessly wiped away her tears, saying, "Don't cry, tell me what happened."

It's really not a big deal.

It's just that Pei Sinian left her last night and this morning and hasn't come back since.

She squatted by the door for who knows how long, but he never came back.

Coupled with his previous words, "Don't get too close to me," the naive, timid, and insecure Mushroom couldn't help but overthink things, wondering if he wouldn't come back and would never speak to her again...

The cowardly mushroom arrived in this apocalyptic world, completely bewildered by everything. He was a stranger in a strange land and a stranger in a strange land. The first zombie he met was a lame zombie, and the first human he met was Pei Sinian.

Her life was filled with Pei Sinian's shadow, and she could no longer run away from home as freely as she had when they first met, just to go to the base.

She wondered helplessly what she should do if Pei Sinian left and disappeared from her world.

Arrive at the base, survive, and occasionally go out with others to find a few zombies to improve your abilities?

No, others wouldn't accept her supernatural abilities as readily as Pei Sinian.

In short, the mushroom experienced human emotions and felt a sharp, persistent pain in its heart, as if it were being bitten by ants.

With Tang Shengnan comforting her, Mushroom, her eyes red, recounted what happened last night.

"He told me not to come near him, does he hate me?" She clutched Tang Shengnan's clothes with her slender white fingers, seeking help, her bright eyes filled with fear.

She was afraid of being disliked.

Upon hearing this, Tang Shengnan felt that something was amiss.

Xiao Piao Liang is so cute, how could Pei Sinian possibly dislike her?

What's more, that man usually treats the pretty girl like a precious treasure, and she gets warned if she even glances at her too much.

Tang Shengnan thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "You said you pounced on me while you were taking a shower?"

Meng Xiaoyou nodded obediently: "The water was too cold, I... I don't know how I fell over."

There was no way around it; she would snuggle into Pei Sinian's arms whenever something happened, it had become a habit.

She tilted her head. "What's wrong?"

"What else could it be? He must have been unable to hold it in any longer." Tang Shengnan clapped his hands, solving the case.

No man can resist his girlfriend jumping into his arms while she's taking a shower.

It definitely has to be like this.

But at the most crucial moment, Pei Sinian restrained his desires, not wanting to hurt Xiao Piaoliang, so he told her not to come near.

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems; that's how it's written in novels.

The colder a man is, the stronger his desires become.

Thinking of this, Tang Shengnan looked at Meng Xiaoyou, who had a blank expression, and comforted her, "Don't worry, he will come back after he puts out the fire. He doesn't hate you; he did this precisely because he likes you."

Wow, I can't believe they're a couple and still so innocent...

"You like me?" Meng Xiaoyou didn't quite understand, but after Tang Shengnan's persuasion, she wasn't so sad anymore. She took the initiative to get closer to Tang Shengnan, "Thank you. I'd like to find a flowerpot. My mushrooms are too crowded. Can you come with me?"

"Okay!" Since there wasn't much to do since they had just entered the base, Tang Shengnan decided to accompany Meng Xiaoyou out for a stroll to see if there were any flower pots.

When I came in last night, I didn't see many people in the base, but when I went out this morning, there were more people on the move.

There's no need to worry about zombies in the base. People come and go, including superhumans rushing to complete missions and ordinary people squatting at the tent entrances, eagerly watching passersby and hoping to exchange food with them.

Wherever I go, I can hear the familiar rumbling of stomachs. The scene is desolate and makes me feel a little sad.

Tang Shengnan sighed, "I don't know when the apocalypse will end, but the zombies are still evolving... It feels like it's only just begun."

Having witnessed prosperity, the sight of decay would be unbearable for anyone.

Meng Xiaoyou followed closely beside Tang Shengnan. Her clean clothes, slender figure, fair face, and beautiful features attracted the attention of passersby.

Many people were secretly observing them. Two superhumans observed for a while, and seeing that there was no one else with the two women, they couldn't help but exchange a glance and walked over with ill intentions...
