Chapter 1058: I Have a Proposal!

"Um, I have a proposal."

Lin Yi's voice rang out, and everyone turned to look at him.

Suddenly being watched by so many people, Lin Yi suddenly felt a bit ashamed; he looked at Ning Chen and smiled in an extremely sycophantic manner.

"Hehehe."

This appearance made the Huo Jinglin beside him very much want to slap him, and of course, Huo Jinglin did just that; he slapped Lin Yi on the head.

The sound was crisp and loud.

Hmm, this melon is ripe.

Facing Huo Jinglin's 'beating', Lin Yi did not fight back this time; instead, he smiled and looked at Ning Chen again, saying nothing about what it was, looking exactly like a simpleton.

Seeing this, Ning Chen knew that if he didn't speak, Lin Yi would probably keep smiling foolishly like that; with no choice, he had to say: "Speak up, what is it?"

Lin Yi ran "dada" to Ning Chen's side, stammering and twisting his hands, quite like a shy little wife.

Paired with Lin Yi's shy expression, Huo Jinglin said with mixed feelings: "Lin Yi, you wouldn't... have fallen for Brother Ning, would you?"

Hearing this, Gu Yanqi looked at Lin Yi's actions and found it reasonable in every way.

Even Xiao Han showed a slightly surprised expression, followed by understanding.

No, what understanding is there to understand!

Seeing the three of them with the wrong expressions, Lin Yi immediately guessed they had all misunderstood.

"Brother Ning, don't listen to their nonsense; I'm not!"

Ning Chen made a sound of acknowledgment, but his body honestly moved slightly away from Lin Yi.

How to put it? Reason told Ning Chen the possibility of this was low, but he had to observe and see.

After all, he and Lin Yi had been together day and night, plus Lin Yi had always treated him well; could it be that he really had feelings for him...

Thinking of this, Ning Chen stepped back again, using action to refuse such a thing from happening.

No, are you serious about that stepping-back move?!

Watching Ning Chen's action, Lin Yi finally knew that if he didn't speak now, he would probably be recognized as gay by this group.

"I don't mean anything else! I just want to say, this place is pretty good too; we can watch the stars and moon at night, and there's the sea over there; how about we have a barbecue here!"

Lin Yi basically shouted this out; his neck turned red from anger.

"Got it, got it, don't shout so loud. By the way, barbecue? But we don't seem to have tools; where do we put the meat to grill?"

Huo Jinglin covered his ears; Lin Yi's voice really wasn't something to be trifled with.

Speaking of the tool issue, Lin Yi started acting shy again: "Oh, tools, well, that, um..."

Unable to bear it, Ning Chen cut Lin Yi off directly: "If you have something to say, say it; otherwise, don't say anything."

Intimidated by Ning Chen, Lin Yi hurriedly said: "We have tools; last time we went to the supermarket, I, I brought them!"

After speaking, as if afraid they wouldn't believe him, Lin Yi hurried into the car to search.

Not long after, Lin Yi was seen walking out carrying a pile of barbecue parts.

Ning Chen looked at Lin Yi with mixed feelings; how had he not noticed that the other person had secretly hidden such a thing?

Except for Gu Yanqi, the other two also showed shocked expressions.

Ning Chen glanced at the four people, finally fixing his gaze on Gu Yanqi.

Just then, Gu Yanqi looked up; their gazes collided, and Gu Yanqi, as if guilty, quickly averted her eyes.

Alright, now another accomplice has come out.

Seeing Ning Chen staring at Gu Yanqi, Lin Yi also knew the matter was exposed.

At that time, when he secretly brought the things back, he had begged Gu Yanqi for quite a while to help him hide them.

Lin Yi thought that even if it was discovered, with Gu Yanqi involved, Brother Ning probably wouldn't be too angry.

Glancing secretly at Ning Chen, seeing Ning Chen's expressionless face, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat; could it be that he had bet wrong?

Just as Lin Yi was about to confess for leniency and resist severely, he heard Ning Chen's helpless voice.

"Fine, then let's have a barbecue here."

Hearing this, Lin Yi's heart immediately settled; he secretly made a "V" sign at Gu Yanqi.

The reason Gu Yanqi helped Lin Yi hide this thing was mainly due to one sentence from Lin Yi.

"You are very important to Brother Ning; with you here, he won't punish us!"

This sentence struck Gu Yanqi's heart; when she came to her senses, she had already agreed to Lin Yi's request.

From this moment on, Gu Yanqi realized she might have truly fallen for Ning Chen, fallen for this man who remained calm no matter what happened.

Gu Yanqi didn't know what she was thinking; she knew Ning Chen's attitude toward her was likely because her face was extremely similar to that of the person he loved.

But sometimes feelings are truly a wonderful thing; without contact, there is none; once met, it becomes uncontrollable.

Ning Chen looked around; the surroundings were quite open, with only a forest to the left of the gate posing potential danger.

Forests like this easily have zombies hiding inside.

"I'll patrol the forest; wait for me to return before starting."

After speaking, Ning Chen walked inside without looking back.

As the person currently most familiar with Ning Chen present, Lin Yi naturally understood what he was going to do; regardless of whether Ning Chen could see him, he made an "OK" gesture toward Ning Chen.

As for why he didn't speak?

Because his mouth was currently chewing the snack he had just stuffed in.

Entering the forest, Ning Chen planned to start from the entrance and explore the interior in a spiral pattern.

A clear breeze blew; the fresh scent of trees rushed toward him; the surroundings were quiet, with not even the sound of birds.

Sometimes, excessive silence is itself a strange phenomenon.

Although this is the apocalypse, the danger from animals and plants isn't great; this forest is very lush; there shouldn't be an absence of birds.

Ning Chen quickly reached the center position, then opened his hand, and a beam of Bai Guang appeared in his palm.

He flicked his wrist, and starting from the center, the light spread outward in all directions.

Only after the entire forest was covered by the light did Ning Chen sense something was wrong.

Indeed, there were zombies within this forest.

Yet, why hadn't he seen them when he just walked around the perimeter?
