Shen Mingxuan didn’t like them meeting, so he directly drove Bai Tiantian away and pulled her into a bedroom.
The bedroom was exceptionally spacious, luxuriously decorated, like a room belonging to a castle duke. This style was Shen Mingxuan’s aesthetic, flashy and extravagant.
Bai Qingqing stood in the room, her expression indifferent. Why didn’t she treat Shen Mingxuan like before, teasing him like she did with Cheng Rui and Xiao Yang? Because he wouldn’t believe it.
He knew she had feelings for Fu Chen, and she couldn’t be bothered to pretend and deceive anymore.
Shen Mingxuan was not a zombie. As someone who had regained his memories, he was sensitive and suspicious. Even if she disguised herself naturally, he would only think she was lying again, which would only make him more vigilant.
Was this his bedroom? Did he want her to sleep here?
Bai Qingqing frowned and looked at him. “You want me to sleep here?”
Shen Mingxuan didn’t explain much and simply commanded, “You’re not allowed to leave this room.”
Bai Qingqing didn’t want to listen to him, but she had no choice. She was in a zombie-infested area, and there were zombies everywhere she went. If Shen Mingxuan didn’t arrange a place for her to stay, she would just occupy his bedroom.
Shen Mingxuan didn’t come back at night, and she didn’t know where he went. It was difficult for her to catch a glimpse of him. Occasionally, zombies would come to deliver food and check if she was in the bedroom.
Bai Qingqing transformed the bedroom into a French princess-style room, with a cute and lovely pink theme. There were many toys on the sofa and bed. Apart from a few men’s clothes hanging in the wardrobe, there was no trace of Shen Mingxuan.
When Yang Li came to deliver lunch and saw the drastic changes in the room, her lips twitched slightly. She still remembered how particular the Lord was when decorating the room and meticulously planned it according to his desired style.
Miss Bai really had a knack for mischief. She was looking forward to Shen Mingxuan’s reaction when he returned.
Bai Qingqing took the lunch from her and said, “Can you call Bai Tiantian over? I need to talk to her.”
Shen Mingxuan didn’t forbid others from coming over, only Bai Qingqing herself. Yang Li hesitated for a moment, then went to fetch Bai Tiantian.
Bai Qingqing smiled and thanked her, then closed the door with a snap.
Bai Tiantian had never been to Shen Mingxuan’s bedroom before, and she was stunned when she saw the room with a strong feminine style. She awkwardly asked, “Aren’t you afraid that Shen Mingxuan will get angry?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Can he eat me?” Bai Qingqing said nonchalantly, “If he wanted to kill me, he would have done it long ago.”
Recalling the memory of being choked by him, Bai Tiantian shivered. She was terrified and wished to stay hundreds of meters away from Shen Mingxuan.
Bai Qingqing tossed an apple to Bai Tiantian and said, “Come sit here. I have something to tell you.”
Bai Tiantian carefully held the apple and sat down, a look of distress on her face. “Qingqing, what should we do? We can’t stay trapped in the zombie kingdom forever. We might get bitten by zombies at any time. It’s terrifying to even think about it.”
Biting into the apple, crisp and sweet, Bai Qingqing chewed a few bites and swallowed before saying, “You’ve been living here for a year. Are you familiar with the surroundings?”
Bai Tiantian widened her eyes and said, “Qingqing, you…”
“Hush.” Bai Qingqing raised a fair finger to her lips.
“I have something for you.” She handed Bai Tiantian a phone and blinked. “Now you can explore freely.”
Shen Mingxuan didn’t restrict Bai Tiantian from wandering around. It was her own fear of zombies that kept her confined to the room, except for blood donations. But receiving the task from Bai Qingqing, she finally mustered up the courage, her eyes shining. “Qingqing, I’ll do it.”
When Shen Mingxuan returned, he pushed open the door and entered the bedroom, only to see Qingqing chatting and laughing with Bai Tiantian. There was a smile on Qingqing’s delicate and beautiful face.
The smiles on the two girls’ faces disappeared instantly when they noticed him.
Bai Tiantian looked fearful and panicked, while Qingqing appeared cold and indifferent, showing a look of disdain towards him.
Shen Mingxuan’s face gradually darkened, and he looked at Bai Tiantian coldly, saying, “Who let you in? Get out!”
Bai Tiantian immediately stood up, resembling a frightened rabbit, and quickly slipped out.
Qingqing picked up her phone expressionlessly, not sparing a glance at Shen Mingxuan with her peripheral vision, as if she treated him as if he were air.
Shen Mingxuan stood there for a few seconds, then walked into the bathroom in big strides to clean himself. Wrapped in a towel, he walked out and opened the wardrobe to find some clothes. However, he saw various pretty dresses hanging inside.
He frowned and opened another wardrobe, only to find more girls’ clothes. After opening the third wardrobe, he finally found a few pieces of his own clothing in a corner.
Shen Mingxuan stood in front of the wardrobe, not sure what he was thinking, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
She had arrogantly transformed his room and filled his space with all sorts of things. He wasn’t angry, but rather felt happy when he saw these things.
He felt like a fool, easily filled with a sense of happiness in his heart.
In this space that belonged solely to him, her things could be seen everywhere. Did this mean she had long-term plans to be with him?
If Qingqing knew what he was thinking, she would probably mock him mercilessly. She had plenty of resources in her space, and anything good could be used as disposable. She just brought everything out because she liked going to the space to get things.
Shen Mingxuan took the clothes and went to the bathroom to change. With damp hair, he walked up to Bai Qingqing and said, “Dry my hair for me.”
Qingqing looked at him coldly and said, “No.”
Shen Mingxuan clenched the towel, his silver eyes dimming. How could she say no when she had dried his hair for him when he was a zombie?
Qingqing caught a faint whiff of a slightly bloody scent in the air, even though it was subtle, the smell was somewhat pungent and uncomfortable.
“You stink,” she scolded bluntly. “Stay away from me.”
Shen Mingxuan’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He only smelled the faint fragrance of the shower gel on his body. How could there be a foul smell? “I just took a shower.”
Qingqing sneered, “Can’t you smell the faint smell of blood?”
There was disdain and disgust in the girl’s eyes, and the previous gentleness and loveliness couldn’t be found on her anymore. She was kind and smiled at everyone, except for him, showing coldness and hostility.
Shen Mingxuan felt bitter in his mouth. He really wanted to silence her, so she couldn’t say anything hurtful to him.
But he was also afraid of making their relationship worse. Even though he had softened his attitude, she remained the same, showing no trace of emotion in her eyes.
Shen Mingxuan couldn’t bear it any longer and grabbed her wrist, saying, “I haven’t eaten anyone.”
Qingqing looked up at him and casually said, “Oh, really?”
With her cold and indifferent attitude, she returned his words with a sharp retort. She didn’t care at all whether he had eaten anyone.
Then who did she care about? Was it only Fu Chen?
Shen Mingxuan let go of her hand, feeling angry, and left again in a fit of temper. The bedroom door slammed shut with a loud bang, shaking the walls for a few seconds.
Qingqing rubbed her slightly red wrist, her emotions remaining steady.
Shen Mingxuan didn’t obey her and took her away. There was no longer any trace of the past friendship between them.
…
No one noticed that Bai Qingqing was taken away that day. Cheng Rui left to return to the Yaoyang Base. He waited for half an hour but didn’t see the person he wanted to meet, so he could only leave with regret.
Liang Zhiyu had thought that Qingqing would definitely leave with him and play with Fu Chen’s heart, but she hadn’t received her answer when she wanted to leave.
Qingqing is a person of her word. She said she would give him an answer, and she wouldn’t break her promise.
So Fu Chen and Liang Zhiyu discovered that Bai Qingqing had disappeared. At first, they suspected that Cheng Rui had taken her away. When they chased after him, Cheng Rui firmly denied taking her.
Where did Qingqing go? The three men hurriedly returned to the Jingzhou Base.
The bedroom French windows were open, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She just vanished into thin air. The surveillance footage from the Fu family and the Jingzhou Base was reviewed, and they stayed awake day and night, but they couldn’t find any clues.
Could Bai Qingqing have hidden again?
The three men re-examined everything and finally saw her figure in the recovered surveillance video. She had actually been kidnapped, and the person responsible was Shen Mingxuan.
Fu Chen’s face darkened, regretting that he hadn’t tried his best to kill Shen Mingxuan when the zombies surrounded them.
Shen Mingxuan had despised Qingqing for more than just a day or two; she was in danger in his hands.
Liang Zhiyu said, “Shen Mingxuan might have taken her as a threat to you. Qingqing won’t be in immediate danger. We need to find the whereabouts of the Zombie Emperor and rescue her.”
He didn’t tell Fu Chen that perhaps Shen Mingxuan didn’t hate Qingqing. It was possible that he loved her and that’s why he came to snatch her away.
Cheng Rui’s eyes churned with hidden emotions. He was the only one who knew about Qingqing’s “rebirth.” In her dreams, both he and Shen Mingxuan were her killers.
The problem they faced now was finding the Zombie Emperor’s base. Only by locating Shen Mingxuan’s whereabouts would they have a chance to find Qingqing.
…
Bai Tiantian secretly came to find Qingqing again, eagerly presenting her findings. “Qingqing, I’ve taken the photos.”
Qingqing had given her a phone to capture the surroundings of Shen Mingxuan’s house from all directions, so she could plan a route to escape.
Bai Tiantian spent two to three days, nervously evading the zombie surveillance, and finally took the photos.
Qingqing praised her, looking at the photos one by one, contemplating how to escape with Bai Tiantian without alerting the zombies.
“Qingqing,” Bai Tiantian bit her lip and timidly requested, “Can you save more people?”
Qingqing looked up at her, suspecting that Bai Tiantian had a hole in her brain. It was already difficult enough to handle just the two of them. How could she have the ability to save others under the zombies’ watchful eyes? They wouldn’t be able to escape if they attracted the attention of high-level zombies.
Bai Tiantian’s eyes welled up with tears, whispering softly, “Those people are pitiful. If you don’t save them, the zombies will eat them.”
Qingqing put down the phone, her gaze fixed on Bai Tiantian. “Are you willing to die for them?”
Bai Tiantian widened her eyes.
Qingqing said, “If you’re willing, then go save them yourself.”
Bai Tiantian’s eyes filled with a sense of grievance. If she had the ability, she would have already gone to save people herself. She wouldn’t have to ask Qingqing.
“Bang!”
Shen Mingxuan pushed open the door and walked in, his expression dark and displeased. “Bai Tiantian, why are you here again?”
