Upon hearing Gu Yicheng call himself “brother,” Ruan Ning didn’t feel happy at all; instead, she felt like something was off.
The impression the male lead had left on the original host was just too strong, to the extent that even an outsider like her was deeply influenced. Seeing Gu Yicheng in person, she couldn’t help but want to avoid him and get out of his sight.
Now, the sudden display of brotherly affection from the male lead, coupled with his gentle and comforting words, made her feel even more frightened than the memory of the rude and arrogant seventeen-year-old boy.
Oh my goodness, she never expected the reincarnated male lead to become so difficult to deal with!!
Ruan Ning would actually feel a bit safer if the male lead treated her with a little less care, a little more indifference. But his unusual behaviour now almost made her want to cry!
Ruan Ning felt a whirlwind of emotions, but she had to continue clinging to the male lead’s thigh without showing any extra emotions, so as not to be noticed. She could only steel herself and remain in his embrace, allowing him to stroke her hair, appearing obedient.
In reality, only she knew how much she wanted to leave his embrace.
Gu Yicheng, observing the disobedient tuft of hair on Ruan Ning’s head due to his actions, narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke gently, “Ning Ning, we need to leave this neighbourhood today and find a safer place to spend the night. Go back to your house and pack your things, we’ll wait for you here.”
Ruan Ning suddenly realized she was still buried in his embrace and quickly let go, smiling somewhat awkwardly, revealing the two dimples at the corners of her mouth, and sweetly said, “Brother, you’re so kind.”
“Ruan Ning, you can’t be ungrateful. The zombies downstairs were cleared out by me and Chaozi,” Lin Yang chimed in, approaching with a grin.
Ruan Ning raised her almond-shaped eyes, her black and white pupils shimmering with tears, “Thank you.”
Damn! Damn!!
Why did the little beauty seem to be getting more and more beautiful?!
Lin Yang, who usually had no shame, felt embarrassed being stared at so earnestly by such a delicate girl like a porcelain doll. He suddenly felt awkward, “… It’s nothing, really. Your brother is my brother too. If you need anything, just tell me, I’ve got your back.”
If he had known that the little beauty, who used to be so timid and would always hide from them, would become so obedient and adorable in these two years, he would have insisted on coming over to accompany her, even if Gu Yicheng had stopped him.
In these past few days, being alone in this house, she felt so scared! So helpless!
The more Lin Yang thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Ruan Ning, the little beauty. He offered eagerly, “Ruan Ning, let me help you pack your things.”
Ruan Ning shook her head, “No, it’s okay. I can do it by myself.” How could she pack her things with someone following her around?
Lin Yang thought she was considering his feelings, not wanting to trouble others too much. He persuaded, “Ruan Ning, you don’t need to feel embarrassed. Let me, as a handsome guy, serve such a beautiful girl like you. I’m delighted to do it, how could it be considered troublesome!”
Before Ruan Ning could say anything to refuse, Gu Yicheng glanced lightly at Lin Yang and said, “Lin Yang, go guard the passage, don’t let the zombies come up again.”
Lin Yang was puzzled for a moment, “Brother, wasn’t this something Chaozi always did?”
Chaozi had psychic abilities and was more reliable in such matters. Gu Yicheng always had him responsible for security. Lin Yang just needed to assist Gu Yicheng.
Gu Yicheng raised an eyebrow, “Chaozi used too much of his abilities just now and needs to rest.”
Lin Yang thought about it and realized it made sense. Chaozi had exerted a lot of effort earlier to hold off the zombie controlling the others for three seconds, and Lin Yang saw how pale he looked. So, Chaozi hadn’t used his abilities on the way here, only using guns to deal with the zombies.
Although Lin Yang felt like they had already dealt with most of the zombies in the building, since Gu Yicheng had spoken, he didn’t dare to slack off. He could only reluctantly glance at Ruan Ning and then go guard the door with a bitter expression.
Watching the departing figure, Ruan Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If that person had insisted on going in with her, she would have to ruthlessly abandon the items that she hadn’t had time to put away due to the urgent situation. Gu Yicheng reached out to push down her disobedient hair, meeting her watery eyes. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, “Go pack your things.”
