e can't sleep, there are many ways..."Before he could finish his words, the boy interrupted him with a slightly impatient tone.That icy hand, gripping the back of his neck, said."Aren't you interested...When Ning Shu heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "…Why"

Ji Huai's obsidian eyes stared at him, then lowered.

But both hands were tightly holding onto the young man, rubbing against him softly. Her tone was a bit soft and uneasy as she said: “Because so many people like Brother Ning, someone might steal him from me.”

Ning Shu's ears were slightly warm, though. He knew that Ji Huai didn't mean it that way.

He just depends on him and worries that others will share his attention.

But despite this, a feeling of uneasiness lingered in the hearts of the youth.

After that, Ning Shu met the woman several times again. Her name was Man Yan and she was a year older than him. She possessed water-based abilities.

Manyan looked at him and said, "Be careful of that younger brother you met on the road."

Ning Shu was startled, then frowned and said, "What do you mean"

Man Yan took a drag of her cigarette and let out a dismissive laugh. "It's nothing, he's just been giving me trouble ever since I said I had feelings for you."

At first, she thought it was just her imagination.

Until she almost couldn't come back, Man Yan realized the powerful possessiveness this young man had for her.

...enough to be astonishing. ...

Ning Shu frowned and pursed her lips, saying: "It's impossible, Ji Huai wouldn't do such a thing."

He knew the boy was kind and soft-hearted, and he had even gotten hurt for those with abilities.

Just one step short, and Ji Huai might have been drained of blood to death.

Man Yan looked at the young man's resolute and determined tone, paused for a moment, opened her mouth, shook the cigarette in her hand, and said: "In short, you should pay attention to what kind of person he really is."

Ning Shu looked over, her brows furrowing slightly.

How is Ji Huai, he knows better than anyone. Words like this from Man Yan make him uncomfortable, but he still responds in a gentle tone: "I know Ji Huai best."

Màn Yān saw that her reminder had no effect, and naturally wouldn't continue talking.

Although she was young and beautiful, captivating the heart.

But she cared more about her own life.

Thus, Manyan did not continue to pursue the young man any further.

Ning Shu didn't take Man Yan's first words to heart, but he still subconsciously observed the young man.

Ji Huai said softly, "Ning Ge, what's wrong You've been staring at me."

Ning Shu shook her head.

Seeing Ji Huai turn away, he went to talk to another person with abilities.

Even when he sensed something was amiss, he still cared enough to ask.

Ning Shu thought, such a Ji Huai was not the Ji Huai of later. The current him wouldn't be thrown into the zombie horde, and naturally, there wouldn't be the blackening that came after, nor would he think about destroying the world.

He felt much more at ease.

But in the perspective unseen by youth, Ji Huai raised his head.

He stared at him for a while.

Ning Shu encountered Man Yan for the second time a half month later.

"What is that on your neck"

Màn Yān walked over and took a look at the path.

Ning Shu stood up and couldn't help but show a strange expression: "What"

Màn Yān's expression was indifferent.

She immediately understood. She had thought the young man had already succeeded. But now it seemed that the young man didn't even know what was going on.

Wen Yan thought to herself that it wasn't entirely true that she didn't feel a tinge of schadenfreude. After all, Ji Huai had wronged her.

And now that boy acts like he's emerged from a sewer but pretends to be innocent, pure, kind, and harmless.

It must be frustrating.

...worried that if the youth knew his true face, he might be shocked. ...

Because there is no guarantee of success,

one can only do these things in secret,

wearing a mask of pretense until it is certain.

Upon thinking about it, Man Yan realized how stifled Qi Huai must feel every day.

She felt much better now.

"It's nothing, I just noticed your neck is a little red in several places, so I wanted to let you know."

Ning Shu was stunned.

He hurriedly used the nearby clear water source to glance at it.

I found that it is indeed a little red on top.

Ning Shu paused for a moment and said, "…There are more mosquitoes and insects in the apocalypse. It's possible that they sneaked in while we were sleeping at night."

However, Man Yan sneered and said, “The weather has changed drastically recently, those mosquitoes won't come out.”

"I thought you got a girlfriend."

Ning Shu didn't speak, but her lips were slightly pursed. She subconsciously touched the area, it wasn't itchy or painful.

But this phenomenon has happened many times before.

Even with mosquito repellent, it doesn't seem to help.

When Ning Shu heard Manyan's words, she didn't know why, but suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Manyan glanced at the person beside her, but the young man was no longer in the ranks.

He has already left.

"Do you remember what I said last time"

She finished speaking and walked away.

Only Ning Shu remained on the spot, dumbfounded.

Then she frowned slightly.

Last time:

Ning Shu still remembered that Man Yan had told him to pay attention to Ji Huai. But he later didn't find anything different about the young man, Ji Huai was as pure and kind as ever.

Except for being a little over-reliant on him.

They will still sleep in the same bed at night.

Ning Shu didn't know what she was thinking about, her eyes widened slightly.

Does Manyan mean... that this has something to do with Ji Huai

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, but what did this have to do with Ji Huai He pursed his lips slightly, but there was a powerful unease in his heart.

......

Although Ning Shu didn't know what "manyan" meant, she broke her usual habit of going to bed early when Shao Nian came over.

The young man feigned sleep, his eyes closed.

Ning Shu hadn't fallen asleep, and a while passed like this. He sensed Ji Huai leaning his head down, called out his name, and lightly nudged him.

A slight tingling sensation came from my chin.

The young man's eyelashes twitched almost imperceptibly, but he did not open his eyes.

ignored the boy's words.

"Brother Ning."

Ji Huai's breath came closer, just like that, showering the young man's skin.

Ning Shu paused, the young boy's body pressed against hers.

Ji Huai embraced him.

Then he lowered his head.

Then, Ning Shu felt something on her lips.

He thought to himself that being surprised was fake.

Ning Shu almost opened his eyes and reacted greatly, sitting up. But in the end, he also calmed himself down a little.

Ji Huai kissing him

Why

Ning Shu thought of that kiss from the previous night. Did Ji Huai still remember it That's why... No matter what the possibility was.ther two friends of his brother."Can your brother drink alcohol"One of my friends asked.Ning Yang said, "No, my younger brother doesn't touch alcohol. If you want to drink, find me and Jing Yu."Having...
