Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, Lu Tianyi soon asked Kong Qingming a question that made the latter unable to sit still, “The other night, you were knocking on Lin Wenwen’s door, but why did you suddenly drag me over? You acted weird that time, why?”
The expression on Kong Qingming’s handsome froze for a moment, and his narrow eyes were a little unfocused. He remembered that cold face he saw that day. Her face wasn’t delicate, but those sharp eyes impressed him deeply. He could even still feel those dagger-like eyes.
“Um… I just felt that the look which the woman with a ponytail had in her eyes was a little scary! I couldn’t handle her, so I automatically dragged you there. In fact, I don’t know why either.”
Seeing the confused look in his face and hearing his answer, Lu Tianyi had his eye glowing. Abruptly, he uncrossed his arms and stood up, staring at Kong Qingming with great interests. Soon, he walked out from behind the desk to before Kong Qingming, and bent over to gaze at his face closely. “Qingming, have you realized that your face is a little… burning right now?”
Kong Qingming was puzzled at first, then automatically raised his hand to touch his face. Seeing that, Lu Tianyi burst in laughter. “Hahahahaha…”
He laughed loudly and happily, without saying anything.
Kong Qingming looked at him bewilderedly. As Lu Tianyi wouldn’t stop laughing, he began losing patience. “If you have something to say, just say it. Why’re you laughing like a ghost.”
While keeping laughing, Lu Tianyi covered his forehead with a hand and waved a hand at the other. Then, he walked back to his seat and sat back down.
“Hahaha… Just let me laugh. I can’t hold it back anymore!”
Hearing his laughter, Kong Qingming’s face turned even darker. He glared at Lu Tianyi and said, “Make it clear to me!”
Hearing that, Lu Tianyi finally stopped laughing loudly. He looked at Kong Qingming and asked, “How’ bout this, you answer me a few questions first. That day, after you saw her dagger-like eyes, did your heart flip?”
Kong Qingming was recalling that ordinary and clean-looking face which he saw that day. Still, his attention was attracted by that pair of eyes of hers. To respond to the other’s words, he nodded.
Lu Tianyi continued, “So at that time, were you subconsciously panicking? Did your body react before your brain and make you want to escape?”
Back then, Kong Qingming’s reaction was indeed unwitting, as his brain wasn’t even working. So, he nodded again.
Lu Tianyi laughed again. He put both hands on the desk, then rested his head on those hands.
“Hehehehehe…”
Kong Qingming felt extremely uncomfortable upon hearing his laughter. He couldn’t help but complain, “Can you please stop laughing? Can’t you just talk straight?”
Hearing that, Lu Tianyi raised his head and looked at Kong Qingming with a big grin, “Qingming, you’re quite capable, but why are you so slow-minded about these things?”
“These things? What things?” Kong Qingming looked at him, his head full of puzzles.
Lu Tianyi gave him a few glances, then shook his head and responded, “Alright. I think you need to figure it out by yourself, so it’ll be meaningful. I won’t tell you. But, do remember one thing, that you just need to follow your feelings.”
Kong Qingming felt so annoyed. Saying something like that was the same as saying nothing, wasn’t it?
“What on earth are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a word you said?” he asked.
Lu Tianyi shook his head, didn’t say another word. After that, no matter how many questions Kong Qingming asked, he only smiled at him. At last, the latter left with anger.
While leaving, that woman’s cold face had been showing up in his mind. He wondered if it was because they had been talking about her the whole time.
Her appearance was ordinary, but she was clean-looking. Also, her vibe was strong, and it seemed like she was keeping a good distance from everyone else.
Her body shape was not bad though!
…
That day in the afternoon, Yuan Tianxing, Lin Wenwen, Long Qingying, Lu Junjie and the others left Sea City Base for Upper City District in Hangzhou.
In Lin Qiao’s s.p.a.ce, the vine sphere which she was wrapped in had still been disappearing slowly. It was way too huge, so during the past twenty-four hours, not even one percent of it had vanished.
Lin Feng, Chen Yuting and their people first cleaned the hotel, sorting and counting the furniture pieces which were still useful. The broken ones or awfully blood-stained ones were moved out, then torn in pieces or burned. Meanwhile, Mrs. Lin and the other female members helped clean the quilts, blankets, sheets, and other things.
These works couldn’t be finished in days. Lin Feng and his people were patient enough, as this was just a beginning. The base needed to be built up step by step.
Qiu Lili and Mengmeng stayed on the roof, quietly watching those people clean the place without lending a helping hand. On the other side Lin Hao and his people began sweeping through the surrounding area to search for food and supplies.
After a busy day, they heard a vehicle driving over in the evening. Without question, the people in that vehicle were friends, or the car wouldn’t be able to pa.s.s the zombie wall.
Hearing the noise of the car, Lin Feng first thought of Yuan Tianxing and the others, “I think Tianxing and the others are back.”
Hearing him, the others all stopped working and turned to the broad road before the hotel.
Lin Feng made eye-contact with Chen Yuting, then glanced at his watch and said, “It’s about dinner time. Tell everybody to get off work for dinner.”
Chen Yuting nodded in response.
An SUV stopped before the hotel. Long Qingying, who liked to sit on car roofs, jumped off the first. After that, the car doors were opened, and Yuan Tianxing, Lin Wenwen, and a few others got out.
Seeing Lin Feng and the others standing before the hotel, they sighed in relief.
Mrs. Lin held Lin Xiaolu’s hand and gave a few more glances at the vehicle before saying to Lin Wenwen, who was meters away from her, “Wenwen, why did you cut your hair? What happened?”
Lin Wenwen touched the hair by her ear, then gave a natural smile and said, “Nothing. I just feel that long hair can be inconvenient. So, I cut them.”
Both Mrs. Lin and Cheng w.a.n.gxue looked at her with surprise. “How can that be possible? You cut your hair because you felt it was inconvenient? I don’t believe it! What on earth has happened? Tell me!” said Mrs. Lin.
“Mom, I want to change myself,” Lin Wenwen had no other choice but explained, “Didn’t you all say that I was too self-willed? I’ll change it. To make up my mind, I cut my hair. What’s wrong about that?”
Mrs. Lin looked at her with disbelief, saying, “How many times have we said that? You never cared much. How come you suddenly want to change yourself?”
“Yeah!” Cheng w.a.n.gxue nodded.
“Ugh, just believe what I said,” Lin Wenwen responded helplessly, “I’ve already cut it, and I don’t regret. Is it because my hair are so ugly that you can’t get used to it yet?”
Mrs. Lin and Cheng w.a.n.gxue both nodded. “They are a little ugly indeed. I do feel strange about it, as you mentioned it,” said Mrs. Lin. Meanwhile, Lin Feng and the others all nodded in agreement.
Looking at her roughly cut, terribly styled short hair, and thinking about how long and s.h.i.+ny they used to be, those people did feel odd. However, Mrs. Lin soon changed the topic. “Didn’t Miss. Lu come with you? And Yuanxing…” she said to Lin Wenwen.
Lin Wenwen answered her question, “Ah, Miss. Lu hasn’t come over yet. Yuanxing stayed in Sea City Base to continue the recruitment work. We still need more people.”
