Chapter 695: None
In the living room.
Zhang Yiming and Bai Xiqin were chatting lively.
Talking about some trivial matters.
Leng Yebai sat on the side with a cold face. If it weren’t for his arm wrapped around Bai Xiqin’s, you’d think Leng Yebai was just some passerby!
"That time was quite unlucky."
Mentioning school days, Bai Xiqin instinctively furrowed her brows, recalling how she had been dumped several times, feeling rather disgruntled.
Sometimes, it was just a tiny disagreement with her boyfriend, and then they’d break up out of nowhere.
Really... it’s beyond words.
Men, so pretentious!
"Is that so?"
Hearing Bai Xiqin say this, Zhang Yiming’s lips curled ever so slightly, his eyes brightened for a moment.
"Unlucky, better not to mention it."
Bai Xiqin waved her hand, sensing Leng Yebai’s arm tightening more and more.
Talking about exes in front of the current boyfriend, Bai Xiqin thought it best to just leave it at that!
Otherwise, a certain cold-faced domineering CEO might silently get jealous and possibly cry about going back home to his parents or something...
Bai Xiqin’s brain conjured up these scenarios, and her face twitched.
Although Leng Yebai hadn’t done such a thing yet, Bai Xiqin believed he could.
"Haha."
Seeing Bai Xiqin’s demeanor and expression as she waved her hand, Zhang Yiming laughed quietly.
As if suddenly transported back to those scheming school days.
Back then, Xiao Niu was the light in many boys’ eyes, just because he was once junior high classmates with Xiao Niu, many people asked him to deliver love letters.
Those love letters never reached Xiao Niu.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yiming was filled with an endless sourness.
If the apocalypse hadn’t come, he and she might have truly been together.
It was once a fantasy, but since yesterday, he was certain.
Because he saw himself and her in another world.
If the end times had broken out a bit later, he and Xiao Niu might have had a chance, all because...
His gloved fingers gradually tightened, Zhang Yiming took a deep breath, only to feel even more melancholic.
His brainwaves didn’t surge once more.
Zhang Yiming’s gloom almost solidified.
Bai Xiqin clearly sensed that Zhang Yiming, who had been laughing earlier, had suddenly become much more subdued.
"Zhang Yiming?" Bai Xiqin called out Zhang Yiming.
Zhang Yiming was lost in his memories and didn’t respond.
"Hey Zhang!"
Leng Yebai swiftly kicked Zhang Yiming with considerable force.
He felt secretly pleased but said nothing.
Leng Yebai started to suspect this guy was pretending to be deep, wanting his girlfriend to come over and comfort him.
Jealousy twisted Leng Yebai’s face.
"Ouch."
Zhang Yiming came back to his senses, his expression still despondent, coldly uttered a word, then reached out to touch where Leng Yebai had kicked.
His eyes on Bai Xiqin, his brows slightly furrowed, with a hint of grievance.
"Mind your manners!"
Bai Xiqin gave Leng Yebai a light slap.
Leng Yebai: ...
Zombies can have their green tea moments too.
How can a certain unnamed Zombie Emperor lead the zombies to glory like this?
Leng Yebai felt a deep concern for the zombie group.
Leng Yebai shook his head slightly, casting a sympathetic glance outside, mourning for the unseen zombies for a minute.
Zhang Yiming looked at Leng Yebai’s odd gesture of shaking his head toward the outside, frowning again.
Had he known Xiao Niu’s boyfriend standards were so low, he wouldn’t have waited until graduation to confess back then!
Seeing Leng Yebai’s (silly) cool demeanor, Zhang Yiming’s gloom intensified.
Even his heart throbbed with uncontrollable pain.
He shouldn’t have eaten that Ganmu back then, destined to be the first zombie to die of anger sooner or later.
"Xiao Ming, can I ask you something?" Bai Xiqin pressed her thin lips together and finally asked the question she wanted to.
Leng Yebai looked at Bai Xiqin, then at Zhang Yiming, silently tightening his arm.
Really wanted to drag Xiao Niu away and hide her.
Wasn’t she here to comfort this guy?
Why ask something else, making it seem like she wanted to cheat.
Leng Yebai grumbled inside but didn’t dare voice it, only glaring at Zhang Yiming.
"Ask away."
Zhang Yiming never liked lying to Bai Xiqin, unless... it was something he truly couldn’t say.
"Do you... have extra memories? Memories of the future, as if you’ve personally experienced them."
Bai Xiqin said directly.
Because Zhang Yiming had always been gentle in her eyes, never lost his temper, nor got angry.
If it were someone else, Bai Xiqin wouldn’t have asked like this, but Zhang Yiming knew her so well!
Bai Xiqin stared straight at Zhang Yiming, so close was the distance.
Thump, thump, thump!
Looking into Bai Xiqin’s dark eyes, Zhang Yiming’s heart raced uncontrollably.
After the heartbeats, a scene of purgatory flashed in Zhang Yiming’s eyes.
Rubble everywhere, full of scars.
He could even smell Xiao Niu’s scent amid the ruins.
"He" wanted to dig Xiao Niu out from the dirt, but found not a trace of her clothes.
Just a step away.
The scene shifted.
"He", filled with hostility, commanded zombies to conquer base after safe base, expressionlessly watching survivors fall prey to zombies.
"He" somehow now held an arm, the blood in his mouth tantalized his taste buds.
His bloodthirsty rage peaked to the extreme.
A sudden thought flashed in Zhang Yiming’s mind.
The meat is delicious, so this is what blood tastes like.
...
Zhang Yiming was momentarily dazed, reviewing those memories he hadn’t experienced, yet seemed like he did, as if watching a revolving lantern.
Despair, oppression welled up in his heart.
It’s so good to see those dark eyes again.
"I mean like memories of reincarnation from novels."
Seeing Zhang Yiming dazed, Bai Xiqin added when she thought he hadn’t understood her.
Zhang Yiming looked into Bai Xiqin’s dark eyes, his black pupils unmoved, greedily gazing at those eyes, his head slowly shaking.
"No."
How could he admit he was that future self?
He’d rather that future self be dead already.
Didn’t want to admit having devoured flesh, nor his own futility.
Back then, he was too cowardly, didn’t dare appear before her, hence the loss.
Never again in the future.
Hearing Zhang Yiming’s answer, Bai Xiqin scratched her head.
Did she guess wrong?
"Where did the future you go? Do you know?" Bai Xiqin asked.
"The superpowers he used fluctuated too much, corrected by the world, likely returned to the future world," Zhang Yiming said.
Hearing Zhang Yiming, Bai Xiqin somewhat believed him.
The grandparents had said, every attempt to change the past when traversing back would be corrected by this time-space, so even if they returned, they couldn’t exert all the superpowers.
"I wonder what kind of future he returned to."
Bai Xiqin rubbed her chin, a bit curious.
Was it a future where the apocalypse had ended, or still the harsh scene of the end times?
"Surely a wonderful future."
When Zhang Yiming said this, there was a bit of absent-mindedness in his eyes.
Huff and puff—
Leng Yebai was breathing hard and fast, his nostrils flaring greatly.
Bai Xiqin, Leng Yebai, Zhang Yiming.
Leng Yebai always wanted to randomly knock someone out!
"What are you doing?" Bai Xiqin looked at Leng Yebai beside her.
"I heard deep breathing relieves anger, so I’m trying it," Leng Yebai said with a blank face.
"What are you angry about?"
"I’m angry I’m too handsome."
Bai Xiqin: ????
Silly...blockhead?
