Chapter 55 - What? Girlfriend? (2)

Zhou Cang's gun had flown to the other side of the bathroom when the rice had smashed down on him. Lu Xingchi walked over there to pick up the gun.

Bei Nuan leaned over to put away the last few bags of rice and murmured, "The volume is enough, but it's too bad the height wasn't high enough. Moreover, they fell out in bags instead of as one piece. Too bad he's not squashed flat."

Lu Xingchi was farther away and probably didn't hear her, but Zhou Cang clearly heard her.

Not squashed flat?

Zhou Cang trembled and looked at her in horror.

Her little face was so pure, her voice was sweet, and her tone was of sincere regret.

Zhou Cang suddenly felt that this woman, who looked like an angel, was more terrifying than the knife-holding Lu Xingchi.

"He's not dead yet. That works." Lu Xingchi retrieved the gun, grabbed Zhou Cang, and dragged him out of the bathroom.

Bei Nuan found out that the threat had already been cleared outside. Zhou Cang's group had fallen. They had each been downed by one strike. She could tell this was Lu Xingchi's neat and efficient handywork.

Dr. Su and Du Ruo were appeasing the frightened crowd.

Lu Xingchi dragged Zhou Cang out like a sack.

Bei Nuan knew what he was going to do. As a person playing the role of a soft-hearted and kind Holy Mother, she didn't want to follow him. She approached the crowd, took out a large handful of candy and chocolate from her pocket like a magic trick, and distributed them to the crying kids.

Lu Xingchi dragged Zhou Cang out of the supermarket and to the third floor. He continued heading up through a fire exit. The door to the rooftop was locked, but this type of metal lock was a piece of cake to him. It opened with a twist for him.

The air on the rooftop was fresh. It was already evening, and the sunset dyed the sky a stunning light pink and smoky purple.

Under this beautiful scenery, Zhou Cang shook all over.

Lu Xingchi dragged him to the edge of the roof and looked down at him.

"Reborn?" Lu Xingchi absent-mindedly asked.

Zhou Cang's eyes were full of panic when he realized he had been found out.

Lu Xingchi indifferently said, "What's the use of being reborn? Reborn waste is still waste."

And then, Lu Xingchi discovered that he had been silenced again.

Lu Xingchi thought; if Bei Nuan was here, she might say, "You won't let us speak? Oh, I'm so very scared."

He couldn't resist quirking his lips. He easily pushed Zhou Cang off the roof in one smooth motion.

Falling from the third floor might not kill Zhou Cang. In any case, the zombies strolling at the entrance noticed that something had fallen there and swarmed up.

When Lu Xingchi came back down, everyone was cleaning up the second floor. It had almost returned to normal.

Lu Xingchi found Bei Nuan and took her with him to talk to Dr. Su. First, he gave him the gun.

Dr. Su smiled. "I'm a doctor. I don't know how to use a gun. It's more useful if you keep the gun."

Lu Xingchi pressed the gun in his hand. "It's not hard. You'll learn. Keep it. We'll be leaving tomorrow morning."

Having the gun signified leadership. Since Lu Xingchi was leaving, Dr. Su didn't continue to refuse.

"I have a favor to ask you." Lu Xingchi pushed Bei Nuan forward.

Bei Nuan felt like an orphan that was being entrusted to others before Lord Lu left Jiangcheng.

"This is my girlfriend. I want to keep her here for a bit."

What? Girlfriend?

Bei Nuan raised her head and looked at him in shock.

Lu Xingchi's expression didn't change. "I have something to do. It's inconvenient to take her along. I want to keep her here. I'll be back to pick her up later."

Dr. Su calmly nodded. "No problem. Be assured."

***

Even when it was about time for dinner, Bei Nuan still hadn't recovered from her shock.

"Has he gone crazy? Won't it have the same effect if he says I'm his younger sister? Why did he say I'm his girlfriend?" Bei Nuan quietly complained to Du Ruo and Jiang Fei while Lu Xingchi was away.

Jiang Fei smiled and said nothing.

Du Ruo stroked his chin. Apropos of nothing, he commented, "Dr. Su isn't married, right? He shouldn't be. Otherwise, such a responsible person wouldn't stay here alone."
