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

Chapter 71: He, a zombie, actually fell in love with a human?

Pei Sinian had no idea what Meng Xiaoyou was looking at.

Even a zombie could figure that out; that idiot was definitely fooled by that annoying woman.

He expressionlessly picked the mushrooms and handed her the pearl soup he had just learned to make.

In the post-apocalyptic world, resources are scarce, so everything is conserved. Ordinary people who enter the base are left to fend for themselves, but those with superpowers will still receive some supplies.

This is what the kitchen mainly makes now; just add a little flour and you can make a big bowl.

Mushrooms are supposed to keep their distance.

But Pei Sinian has been in a coma for three or four days, and today is the fifth day.

She missed Pei Sinian's cooking, so Mushroom, against her conscience, grabbed a bowl and a spoon and started cooking.

"Do you think 'boyfriend/girlfriend' (嚼嚼嚼) means 'couple'?"

Pei Sinian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, not understanding why she would suddenly say this.

Meng Xiaoyou continued, "I thought I was wrong (chewing). I thought I was a girl and you were a boy, and that being friends meant being boyfriend and girlfriend."

"..."

Mushroom didn't expect the mute to speak, and her fair face was full of melancholy: "This is a misunderstanding. From today onwards, we are still friends, but not boyfriend and girlfriend."

Mr. Zombie: "?!"

"Sigh~" Mushroom sighed softly, "It's also my fault for not knowing anything."

If Tang Shengnan hadn't pointed it out, Meng Xiaoyou wouldn't have realized the problem at all.

Tang Shengnan assumed that Meng Xiaoyou and her boyfriend were a couple, so he told her some intimate stories about couples.

The more the timid mushroom listened, the more suspicious she became.

Why do people stick out their tongues when kissing?

Why is it that when she and Pei Sinian are lying in bed, Pei Sinian has to suppress his desires and enjoy being close to her?

Tang Shengnan meant that Pei Sinian liked her and wanted to sleep with her, but he refrained from doing so to maintain his gentlemanly conduct. That's why he had to keep his distance while also being unable to resist being intimate with her.

Meng Xiaoyou felt that wasn't the case.

Because they weren't a couple, it was her use of the term "boyfriend and girlfriend" that caused Tang Shengnan to misunderstand.

Upon learning that they weren't a couple, Tang Shengnan was utterly shocked; her eyes practically popped out of her head like a female zombie's.

She never expected that someone could lack basic common sense, and if the atmosphere between these two people wasn't that of a couple, she would have chopped her head off and used it as a ball.

Of course, Meng Xiaoyou insisted that they were not a couple, and Tang Shengnan had no choice but to stand aside and watch the show. She finally saw a different emotion appear on Pei Sinian's usually expressionless face.

He seemed to want to argue, but couldn't open his mouth. He could only stand there with a cold face, his lips pursed in frustration, and the corners of his mouth almost drooped down.

It was rare to see this man get his comeuppance, and Tang Shengnan felt incredibly pleased.

However, she soon felt a chill run down her spine, and upon closer inspection, she realized that the fire had spread to her body.

Pei Sinian was clearly looking at Meng Xiaoyou, his glasses reflecting a cold light, his light gray pupils seemingly glancing around, his peripheral vision landing on Tang Shengnan with murderous intent.

Tang Shengnan shuddered and quickly moved away from the crime scene.

Soon, only two people were left.

The heartless mushroom eats food made by zombies and says hurtful things to them.

"So we're not a couple, and you still have to put up with me crawling all over you and cooking for me every day. It doesn't seem like friends should act like this... After all, you haven't even cooked for Sister Tang."

Pei Sinian silently curled the corners of his lips. Heh, he could use the silly Tang sister to make a dish.

He silently gazed at Meng Xiaoyou, took her bowl, skillfully washed it clean, and handed it to her.

Meng Xiaoyou also casually put it into the bubble.

"Actually, you don't need to. I will be more careful in the future and not make things difficult for you."

It's really tough on him; they're not even a couple, yet she's hugging and kissing him.

Look at that face, the swelling has just gone down.

However, her lips still ache slightly when touched.

Mushroom, with its hands tucked in, drew a line, afraid of bothering anyone, claiming it wanted to maintain the friendly distance that normal humans should have.

Pei Sinian raised his hand.

Meng Xiaoyou tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

fool.

Pei Sinian snatched one of the mushrooms from her hand and wrote on her palm.

【separate???】

Following the zombie's habit of being as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, when experiencing strong emotional fluctuations, they would add more punctuation marks to express their feelings.

Meng Xiaoyou was stunned. "Break up? Have we ever been together?"

Pei Sinian pursed his lips unhappily, his expression cold and aloof, looking like someone who was not to be trifled with.

The mushroom was completely baffled. "What should we do then?"

Mr. Zombie said he would continue living as before.

Mushroom snorted: "But you don't like it when I touch you, and you're unhappy when I do what you say."

Pei Sinian: "..."

This is indeed a difficult situation. After all, he can't quite put his finger on what he feels. Whenever she gets close to him, he can't control the restlessness in his zombie body and wants to bite her. If she doesn't get close, his zombie heart feels empty.

"See? You hesitated. Then let's just be normal friends. I'll move to Sister Tang's place tonight. What kind of talk is it to sleep with a grown man like you all day long?"

After Meng Xiaoyou finished speaking, she went upstairs to pack her "luggage".

Pei Sinian was left standing there, his expression growing colder and colder.

"Cough cough~"

A gloating cough, barely suppressed, came from behind.

Tang, who had just left, returned. She leaned on the railing with her elbows, looking roguish and cool with her chin raised.

"What, little beauty, you've finally had enough of your lousy temper?"

Pei Sinian glanced at her, then ignored her and planned to go upstairs to chase after the person.

"Oh dear! Some men, no matter how much they pretend, their wives will still run off with someone else." Tang Shengnan rubbed his chin and clicked his tongue, successfully making Pei Sinian stop in his tracks.

"Actually, the fact that you two aren't a couple really surprised me. You're always sticking together, who would believe that? And I don't believe you're the kind of guy who takes advantage of others without giving them a title. But..." Tang Shengnan looked him up and down.

The man was tall and stood on the stairs, holding the washed handrail. Half of his face was gloomy, and his eyes were shrouded in the shadow of his gold-rimmed glasses.

Without Meng Xiaoyou by his side, the atmosphere around him was terrifyingly oppressive, devoid of any human warmth.

Tang Shengnan felt more confident.

"You're not like Meng Xiaoyou, you don't know what liking someone means, do you?"

"Or perhaps, you've fallen for her without realizing it?"

The zombie was incredibly strong; it twisted the handrail so hard that the finger joints turned white from the force.

A bold idea unexpectedly flashed through my mind.

He... a zombie fell in love with a human?

How can this be?
