Chapter 211: Even as a Zombie I Have to Go to Work (22)
The roar faded away, and silence enveloped the cave again.
Shine the flashlight over there, the cement wall is covered with black mold and green moss. The stale smell makes people feel a little breathless. There is no light here, like a huge coffin that has been abandoned for many years.
Chu Yizi rubbed his cold fingers and continued to follow the footprints with a flashlight.
After walking a short distance, we came to a fork in the road and the footprints disappeared.
Shining the light forward, the cement floor, which should have been full of maggots, looked as if it had just been cleaned. It was spotless, with only floating dust vaguely visible under the light.
There was no end in sight ahead, and just when Chu Yizi was about to turn left to confirm his idea, footsteps were heard from the straight direction.
He was stunned.
The footsteps were getting closer. He shone the flashlight downwards and saw a pair of familiar feet running towards him anxiously on the concrete ground.
Dust was flying wildly in the air, and the flashlight continued to move upwards, to familiar legs, familiar waist and abdomen, familiar shoulders, and - a familiar face.
The flashlight slipped out of his hand without warning, spun twice and fell to the ground.
The light stopped squarely on Chu Yizi's face.
"Chu Chu," Chu Yizi was stunned for a moment when the man came to him and hugged him tightly with his hands without a trace of warmth, "It's okay, it's okay."
There was a familiar voice in my ears, clear yet gentle, and my heart felt like it was being tickled by a soft feather, itchy and warm.
He punched Feng Mulin lightly on the shoulder, his voice a little hoarse, "Where have you been, idiot?"
Feng Mulin did not answer, but just hugged him tightly, as if Chu Yizi would disappear on the spot in the next second.
Chu Yizi did not urge him and waited quietly. After a while, Feng Mulin let him go and stepped back, then asked without any context, "No evil spirit system hurt you, right?"
"Evil Spirit System?"
"Well," Feng Mulin said softly, looking at the moss on the corner of the wall, and said lightly: "Three were caught, and one ran away."
Chu Yizi vaguely sensed something, but did not ask in detail. He just followed his words and asked, "Sent by the evil spirit master system?"
"There is one that is not, and I haven't figured it out yet. When I found you here, I came over."
Chu Yizi did not continue to ask him how he dealt with the evil spirit system. He just looked down at the tip of his shoes. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly put his fingertips on Feng Mulin's chest, stroking it slowly, and finally stopped at the position of his heart.
"come here."
Feng Mulin was breathing faster because of his touch. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, "Ah?"
Before he could react, he suddenly felt his collar tighten, and the person in front of him put his arms around his neck, forcing him to lower his head.
Chu Yizi kissed him while he was stunned, and their lips separated as soon as they touched. It seemed that only a hint of warmth at the corners of the lips could prove what had just happened.
"Lower your head." Chu Yizi looked at Feng Mulin, who was still in the position he had grabbed, and chuckled, "You're really not taking the initiative?"
Feng Mulin was brought back to reality by these words. His body trembled slightly as if his soul had returned to its place. He stared blankly at Chu Yizi's smiling lips, then held up his face with his cold hands.
However, he did not notice the smile in the other person's eyes.
The flashlight lay quietly on the ground. The light was not strong, but when it shone on Chu Yizi's face, even the hair was clearly outlined.
Feng Mulin looked deeply at the person in front of him, his eyelashes trembled imperceptibly, and he closed his eyes and kissed him.
But it was not as soft as expected.
Feng Mulin suddenly opened his eyes, and in front of him was a magnified palm line, Chu Yizi's palm.
For several seconds, both of them maintained this posture, no one moved, no one spoke, as if time had stood still.
Feng Mulin's heart was trembling, and he was about to speak, but the next second, Chu Yizi had already removed the hand that was blocking in front of him and took a step back.
Even though Feng Mulin was still like a real idiot, stupidly keeping his head stretched out, he didn't look at it for long. He turned around and went to another way without looking back.
The flashlight was still lying quietly in the same place. Chu Yizi did not pick it up, nor did he take out the luminous stone from the space ring that Feng Mulin gave him. He just walked alone in the dark.
The air was eerily silent, making the sound of Chu Yizi's footsteps more present. The sound was neither light nor heavy, but it seemed like the most magnificent symphony in the world, beating heavily on Feng Mulin's heart.
The faint light from the flashlight shone on Chu Yizi's thick black hair, but he continued walking without looking back.
Looking at his back, Feng Mulin seemed to have returned to the day when they first met.
It was a very ordinary morning when he went to that dimension.
The incandescent lights of the hospital shone brightly on the people who were dressed strangely. Chu Yizi dragged his injured leg and stood beside the mother among a group of people who stood by and watched.
Feng Mulin couldn't explain why he stopped and why he couldn't take his eyes off.
Although they were enemies in that world, she walked towards him without hesitation as if she had truly escaped the constraints of that world.
Perhaps it is because that person clearly thinks that the registration fee of thirty yuan is expensive, but can pay for other people's medical expenses of one hundred thousand yuan without blinking an eye.
Or maybe it was because the man's leg injury was clearly very serious, but he still listened quietly to the mother's crying.
Or maybe it was the indifferent back of the other person that I saw after I said "Hello".
Just like at this moment, he was clearly not far away, but it seemed as if thousands of mountains and rivers, and thousands of words were between him and her.
There was a time when he often wondered, if he hadn't lost a bet that day and entered that world by coincidence, or if he hadn't entered the wrong timeline and missed him, or if he hadn't had the sudden thought of going to the hospital that day... would they still be here today?
Everything seems like a coincidence but also seems destined.
At this moment he was finally certain that no matter whether he met Chu Yizi in that world or not, as long as he knew Chu Yizi, he would definitely fall in love with him.
No one was more attractive to him than Chu Yizi.
He is stingy and generous, he is cold and enthusiastic, he is the most sincere and the most cunning, he is the smartest and the dumbest.
It had nothing to do with appearance, personality, or anything else. Just seeing him, hearing his name, or even seeing something related to him would make Feng Mulin's heart beat faster and he couldn't help himself.
He clenched his fists tighter and tighter, but the more he looked, the more aching he felt in his heart, as if a hole had appeared in the air and his internal organs were collapsing.
"Chu Chu!" I don't know why I shouted it out, probably because I just thought of it.
