Mr. Zombie lingers in the city

Chapter 3 I Have Someone I Like

Hu Xiaoyu glanced back at Gu Xixia, then stood up with a look of disgust.

"Kids shouldn't concern themselves with adults' private matters. Go to sleep now, you have class tomorrow morning, while I don't have any classes all day."

"Am I small?"

"Aren't you much younger than me?"

"How dare an old man who doesn't have a single one say such a thing?"

"...I told you my age, what are you telling me?"

Does age mean anything to you?

Hu Xiaoyu pondered for a moment, then lifted the lid of the box in front of him, revealing Gu Xixia.

"That is certainly meaningful. The blood of young people usually tastes alright, but the blood of the elderly is very unpleasant to drink."

"What makes it taste bad?"

"As bodily functions decline, the body's detoxification ability decreases, and harmful substances begin to accumulate in the blood, which naturally affects the taste."

Opening the refrigerator, Hu Xiaoyu looked at the blood tofu that had been prepared earlier and took out a piece to put in his mouth.

Gu Xixia glanced at Hu Xiaoyu in front of the refrigerator, her eyes thoughtful.

What level is my blood?

"Absolutely top-notch!"

Without hiding his admiration for Gu Xixia's blood quality, Hu Xiaoyu gave her a serious thumbs up.

Looking at his expression, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.

"Why is that?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoyu pondered for a moment.

"It's related to your daily diet and lifestyle. If you exercise regularly, eat a light diet, and consume high-quality ingredients, there will be fewer impurities in your blood."

After hearing this, Gu Xixia deliberately added a touch of mockery to her cool and charming face.

"So, you've been deliberately grooming me from the very beginning."

Hu Xiaoyu glanced at Gu Xixia speechlessly upon hearing this, feeling a slight itch in his hands.

But now that the child is older, you can't spank them like you did when they were little, it would hurt their self-esteem.

"I shouldn't have asked your grandfather to help me arrange to come to university..."

A slight smile curved at the corners of his mouth.

"Things are different now."

Hu Xiaoyu gave Gu Xixia a disdainful look, then turned and walked towards his room, closing the door behind him.

Seeing the door he closed, Gu Xixia suddenly remembered that she had wanted to ask him how many women he had been with.

Not too much, otherwise I can't handle it.

However, considering what he just said about not being able to distinguish between sexual desire and appetite, those women probably mean nothing to him.

However, we cannot rest easy yet; we still need to confirm whether any of the women he has been with have lived particularly long lives.

Otherwise, if someone suddenly appeared that day, it would be hard not to get angry.

Nothing happened that night, and Gu Xixia went to school to continue her classes.

Without Hu Xiaoyu's presence, Gu Xixia's cool and charming face took on an aloof indifference.

Because of her height, even though her appearance was exceptionally rare, no one dared to touch her.

In the cafeteria, Gu Xixia bought herself a bowl of tofu noodles and a plate of steamed pork with rice flour for lunch.

The taste is so-so, but it won't affect your blood.

"Xiaxia".

"Sister Zhang."

Holding a tray, Sister Zhang sat down opposite Gu Xixia. Looking at this beautiful junior who even ate with elegance and charm, a hint of envy flashed in Sister Zhang's eyes.

"Xiaxia, you're getting prettier and prettier the more I look at you."

Gu Xixia smiled and Zhang Jie picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

"Xiaxia".

"Um?"

"Aren't there any young teachers or professors at the school that you find appealing?"

Gu Xixia shook her head. Just as Sister Zhang was about to speak, she heard Gu Xixia calmly say something.

"I have someone I like."

"Huh?"

"I've liked it since junior high school."

"Huh? You've liked him for so many years?"

"Yes, I've always liked it."

"So you didn't tell him?"

"I didn't dare."

Upon hearing this, Sister Zhang's eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity.

"Which organization is he from? Do you have a photo? Just how outstanding is he that Xiaxia has had a crush on him for so many years?!"

Faced with Zhang Jie's barrage of questions, Gu Xixia shook her head and gave no information whatsoever.

"From a classified unit?"

"I guess so."

"I see... so you've never said that before?"

"No, I'm afraid if I tell him, he'll just disappear from my world."

Looking at the melancholy in Gu Xixia's eyes, Sister Zhang, who knew how heartbreaking unrequited love was, sighed.

"You like it very much?"

"I like it very much."

"What's your personality like?"

"They're very nice and take good care of me."

"Do you keep in touch frequently?"

"Um."

"That shouldn't be the case. With your looks, even someone who isn't blind would have some ideas, right?"

Seeing Zhang Jie's surprise, Gu Xixia pursed her lips.

"Due to the inertia of his thinking, he didn't consider this approach, and it's unlikely he will in the future..."

"Childhood sweethearts?"

"I guess so."

"That's troublesome..."

As someone who's been through it all, Sister Zhang knows very well what childhood sweethearts are all about.

If it works out, it means the bond is stronger than gold; if it doesn't, then there's truly no hope at all.

After hesitating for a long time, Sister Zhang asked weakly.

"If he still can't react, just keep waiting."

"Um."

Hearing Gu Xixia's unhesitating response, all of Zhang Jie's advice was silenced.

After a long while, Sister Zhang looked at Gu Xixia and spoke softly.

"Keep going, I'm rooting for you! If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know, and I'll do everything I can to create opportunities for you!"

Gu Xixia smiled and nodded in agreement to Sister Zhang's kindness.

After lunch and the afternoon classes, Gu Xixia carried her notebook and began her journey home.

On the way back, I subconsciously walked into a convenience store and bought myself a Chocliz.

The sweet taste burst in my mouth; back then, Grandpa didn't give me much pocket money.

Every time he met Hu Xiaoyu, he would buy her something if she asked.

Want new clothes? Go to him. Want a bag? Go to him. Want to go swimming? Go to him.

Back then, there were often people from the underworld around the school, and because she was beautiful, she was always the target of harassment.

Once, I was caught up in the relationship problems between a young delinquent and a petty thug, and after school I was cornered near the school and slapped a few times.

After returning home, Grandpa was still asking about the specific reasons.

He had already searched most of the town with a cold face, following the lingering scent on his body.

Find those thugs in the bar and break all their legs.

Perhaps because he was a zombie, he had no concept of chivalry.

The girl who was found didn't fare too well either. Not only was her face swollen like a pig's head, but her parents, who tried to help, were also beaten up by him.

When I came to my senses, I realized that he was all I could see.

But when did he start to act like an elder?

He looked down at his chest. Was it because of these things that he realized he had grown up?

Or perhaps, from the very beginning, he considered himself an elder, and only his elder.

Lost in thought, Gu Xixia returned home, watched by the community security guard.

He remained seated in front of the computer, and upon hearing his own voice, spoke without turning his head.

A new batch of flavored ice cream arrived in the fridge, remember to eat it.

"it is good."
