Chapter 1299: Hot-blooded college guy, online zombie slayer 21

Xu Mo obviously doesn't know this stuff; he never cooks, having never even seen it, he just wanted an excuse to be alone with Jin Chen and maybe find a common topic.

Hey, look!

Zhou Xuan in the corner suddenly bumped Chu Shu's shoulder, "How did another beauty appear beside Jin Ge?"

Ah? … Shit!

Chu Shu, startled, crunched his lollipop, quickly turned his head to look, "Where's Doctor Jiang Jiang Yisheng?"

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen was helping Jin Chen prepare his medicine, to prevent his arm wound from inflaming before it healed; hearing the sound, he looked up, "What's wrong?"

Ah...

Chu Shu was a bit at a loss, silently extended a finger, then pointed behind him.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen turned his body to look behind.

Jin Chen was still arranging the instant cutlery, but a handsome young man had appeared close beside him.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen gazed silently, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

The other companions all turned their gossiping gazes toward Jin Chen.

Coincidentally, Jin Chen saw that this person had no idea at all.

Give it back.

Jin Chen reached out his hand, "You won't use it to join in the fun."

Xu Mo lowered his head, feeling dejected.

Sorry…… I just wanted to help you.

He crouched in front of Jin Chen, happen to see Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen's gaze fixed on him, immediately moved a bit closer, wanting to touch Jin Chen's outstretched hand.

Don't be angry.

Jin Chen hastily pulled back his hand, frowning suspiciously.

Give the pot back.

Wrong, who is this person showing off their green-tea act for?

He turned his head in doubt, meeting Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen's leisurely gaze.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen smiled at him, the sunset streaming in through the glass door lighting his beautiful eyes with a glow.

Jin Chen hastily stood up, turned and stared at Xu Mo.

Which bastard sent this guy!

Xu Mo raised his head, aggrieved, "Jin… sir, why are you suddenly so fierce?"

Jin Chen didn't answer the question, but his remark hit the nail on the head.

I'm still a college student; I won't allow harming the nation's flowers!

Xu Mo: "……"

Jin Chen's voice was loud and full of righteous vigor; many people in their own small groups, preparing dinner, looked over in surprise.

Xu Mo's face flushed red from being stared at, embarrassed and annoyed, "Mr. Jin, I only wanted to thank you for saving my life, I have no other intentions."

Jin Chen raised his hand in an 'X', "In the new era we don't talk about life-saving grace; comrades, that's laughable."

Xu Mo clearly heard someone laughing, he stood up, mortified, "I…"

I can handle this myself; no need to trouble others.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen walked over, smoothly defusing the situation, taking the instant pot that the two had studied for half a day but still couldn't open from Xu Mo's hands.

If you want to show thanks, just live well.

Xu Mo glanced at him and Jin Chen standing side by side, unwilling but could only turn and leave, otherwise he'd be laughed at for nothing.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen glanced back, his eyes meeting Jin Chen's tilted, smiling gaze, as if his thoughts had been seen through.

Chen Ge's way of defusing is quite unique.

Jin Chen laughed happily, then a pot was shoved into his arms.

If you can't use it, just switch to another.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen didn't realize at all that his tone sounded rather reproachful, like he was being coquettish.

"Okay." Jin Chen nodded, "Chen Ge, your ability to change the subject has improved a lot."

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen: "……"

He quietly blushed again.

The non-talking alien has absolutely no resistance to this teasing banter.

After noticing, Jin Chen boldly reached out and pinched his earlobe, "Chen Ge, you really haven't eaten…"

He was covered by Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen's hand over his mouth, his peach-blossom eyes blinked twice, a smile breaking out.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen: "You should take your medicine."

After saying that, he finally released his hand covering the mouth, "After you take the medicine, don't speak again."

Jin Chen: "Why?"

Doctor Jiang Jiang Yisheng tapped his forehead with a finger, "Please follow the doctor's orders, this little flower of the nation."

Jin Chen: "……"

——

At dinner time, the seven-person squad finally ate the best meal since the apocalypse; although it's still instant pre-made food, at least it's hot!

While eating, Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen didn't want to look at much, but he couldn't help Xu Mo's gaze occasionally flicking toward Jin Chen.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen didn't even realize when he'd become so sensitive; a subtle concern and possessive desire were secretly at work in his heart.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen also seemed to have finally prepared himself mentally.

He grabbed Jin Chen's arm, "Jin Chen."

Huh?

Jin Chen turned to look at him, "Dust brother, what's…?"

Taken by surprise by the hug, Jin Chen froze for two seconds, suddenly not comprehending what had happened, but it didn't stop him from enjoying it.

Jin Chen returned the embrace with a smile, patting Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen's back, "Do you have something secret to say?"

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen hesitated a moment, said nothing, merely glanced again at the handsome youth in the corner, his gaze fixed, still aloof.

But Xu Mo, feeling the gaze, could clearly sense… a subtle hostility.

Finding it boring, he secretly rolled his eyes, turned away, and kept eating the instant chicken leg Jin Chen had given him.

As for this impulsive hug, Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen reacted belatedly, not knowing how to explain it to Jin Chen, feeling… embarrassed.

Facing Jin Chen's concerned, doubtful gaze, Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen, thinking of his almost nonexistent lying skill, simply copied his usual habit, tilted his head against the shoulder, and answered only with his voice.

Nothing, I'm just a bit tired today.

Jin Chen straightened his legs, shifted to a hold more comfortable for Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen, "Will this be better?"

……Hmm.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen could only keep lying prone.

Suddenly his cheek was kissed again; he was about to lift his head to ask, but Jin Chen covered his mouth, smiling with crinkled eyes, "Dust brother, no talking."

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen was almost getting used to Jin Chen's inexplicable little gestures.

He avoided the gaze, and the face he was leaning against gradually warmed up.

Just lying there, he gradually grew really sleepy, only closing his eyes to rest after watching Jin Chen take his medicine after the meal.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 51!】

Jin Chen, with one arm around the sleeping person in his embrace, gave Liu Zhi a look, signaling him to spread the makeshift bedsheet.

Chu Shu made an OK sign.

After dark, having spent a day in anxiety and with no other entertainment, people quickly fell asleep, and the supermarket hall gradually grew quiet.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen opened his eyes; sleep was already scarce for him, and this already exceeded more than half of his pre‑apocalypse sleep.

He felt the arms around his waist, turned to face Jin Chen, and in the faint moonlight used his gaze to carefully trace the youth's brows and eyes.

Jin Chen flicked his eyelids, again embraced the person and pulled him closer into his arms, only satisfied when they were tightly hugged; his chin rubbed Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen's hair as he held him and continued to sleep.

Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen was a bit dazed by his natural series of movements, and by the time he reacted he was already being held.

In the darkness there was nothing uncomfortable; Jiang Jiang Yisheng Chen followed his true feelings, pressing his forehead against Jin Chen's chest, and peacefully closed his eyes to continue resting.

The next day, the seven‑person squad prepared to leave the supermarket and the bustling streets, driving past the zombie piles to a safer farm.
