Urbaner Blumentraum - Kapitel 305
The girl seemed to have gotten used to his "idleness" and sat down by the fire, with the young man sitting right next to her.
The girl seemed to be turning the roast chicken while glancing at the young man, staring at his unchanging smile and clear, honest eyes. She sighed deeply, touched his face, and said sadly, "Brother Liuyue, how did you become like this?"
This expert chicken thief is none other than Zhu Huihui.
She couldn't understand it at all. She clearly tasted her blood that day, and she clearly touched his skin and froze before leaving in tears. So why did Brother Liuyue come back to life?
That night, she and Huahua spent the night in a dilapidated house. Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she suddenly felt someone watching her. She sat up, opened her eyes, and was nearly scared to death—
Brother Liu Yue sat beside her, quietly gazing at her. Moonlight streamed through the window onto his handsome face, his smile radiant and gentle.
At that moment, her first thought was that Liu Yue's ghost had come to seek revenge! But seeing the shadow on the ground, she dismissed the idea; then, a second thought arose in her mind—Liu Yue had become a zombie!
She immediately thought of folk remedies for dealing with zombies: glutinous rice, garlic, peach wood swords, Bagua mirrors, black dog blood... Unfortunately, besides her thick-skinned Hua Hua, she had nothing else.
In desperation, she used the simplest trick—she'd heard that zombies could pinpoint a person's location by their breathing, so if she held her breath, it wouldn't be able to find her!
Zhu Huihui immediately shut her mouth, pinched her nose, kicked the fast-sleeping Hua Hua awake, then jumped up and ran out the door.
He ran for five or six miles before stopping to catch his breath, only to see Liu Yue standing close behind him like a ghost.
She immediately tried to escape again, but no matter how fast she ran, Liu Yue floated like the wind, her figure always within three feet of her.
That night, Zhu Huihui didn't dare do anything but run away. But in the end, not only was Hua Hua exhausted, but she herself couldn't take it anymore. The two of them, one human and one pig, were so tired that they vomited blood, while Liu Yue still followed behind them calmly, with a gentle smile on her face.
Zhu Huihui had given up. She lay down on the ground, thinking, "Whatever, I only took your life. You can bite me all you want!" She stretched her neck and brought it close to Liu Yue's mouth, when suddenly an idea struck her—it's better to bite first than to bite later. Why not bite him first?
She glanced at Liu Yue's neck, and slowly brought her mouth closer with ill intent. Her lips touched his skin, and just as she was about to open her mouth, she felt something was wrong—Liu Yue's skin was warm!
She paused, then placed her hand over Liu Yue's mouth and nose, feeling his warm breath that tickled her palm. She immediately withdrew her hand, moving it downwards until it stopped on his chest, where she felt his clear and steady heartbeat.
He's breathing, he has a heartbeat. Damn! Brother Liu Yue isn't a zombie! Look how scared XX is!
Zhu Huihui was overjoyed, but at the same time she felt ashamed of herself: she could harm people and still not die, was there anyone in the world more useless than herself?
"Brother Liu Yue, you...you're not dead...that's...that's wonderful..."
Liu Yue simply looked at her calmly, without saying a word.
Liu Yue smiled, speechless.
"Well... although I tried to poison you, you didn't die, and you scared me all night, so we're even, okay?"
Liu Yue smiled, speechless.
"By the way, my mom said the poison in my body was extremely potent. How come you're alright?"
Liu Yue smiled, speechless.
"..."
Liu Yue smiled, speechless.
"..."
Liu Yue smiled, speechless.
Zhu Huihui finally realized something was wrong! She was so talkative that she was almost driving herself crazy, but Brother Liu Yue just kept smiling and remaining silent.
Moreover, from the moment I was startled awake by him and fled, to the moment I decided to bite him and touch his face and chest, his "smiling, speechless" expression remained unchanged.
That quiet, gentle smile was the same as before, but something seemed different. Zhu Huihui stared at him for a long time before finally noticing the difference: his eyes!
Brother Liu Yue's eyes are very beautiful. However, in the past, his eyes were misty and hazy, like the misty rain of Jiangnan in March, soft and gentle. They were hazy and seemed both close and distant. But now, no matter how gentle and radiant his smile is, the emotion conveyed in his eyes is indeed a faint detachment. Now, his eyes are still beautiful, still seem to have countless peach blossoms blooming in them, but his gaze is no longer hazy. Instead, it has become clear and transparent, even with a hint of bewilderment, like the sky and the sea, pure to the extreme.
What happened?
"Brother Liu Yue, I'll ask you one last question: what exactly do you want to do by following me?"
Zhu Huihui looked at him expectantly, but after waiting for a long time, he still remained with the same unchanging "smile and silence"!
She sighed in despair and finally came to the conclusion: Brother Liu Yue was indeed not poisoned to death by her, but he was poisoned into a fool!
What puzzled her was how Liu Yue, who was so mentally challenged that he couldn't even speak, had managed to find her. And how could someone who was mentally challenged have such a vivid memory and unwavering determination? No matter what she did, he was always within three steps of her!
Good heavens! All she did was poison him, and he's already committed to her?
After several unsuccessful attempts to escape out of resentment, Zhu Huihui finally resigned himself to his fate. Well, if he wanted to stay, so be it! He could just treat it as raising another flower—and besides, Brother Liuyue ate very little, much easier to care for than a flower!
Zhu Huihui, Zhu Liuyue, and Zhu Huahua, the three "Zhu"s share steamed buns and steal chickens together, living a carefree life.
Zhu Huihui sighed as she turned the chickens on the branches and looked at Brother Liu Yue.
Liu Yue smiled and met her gaze—she wondered if there was any human thought behind those clear, unfathomable eyes.
The chicken's skin gradually turns dark brown, and a rich aroma wafts out, making one's mouth water.
Zhu Huihui immediately put aside the question about Liu Yue, picked up the chicken, divided it into three pieces, and was about to eat when she suddenly heard a loud shout: "This mountain is mine, this tree is mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll!"
With a series of "whoosh" sounds, five burly men leaped out of the roadside woods, each taller and louder than the last, shouting in unison, "Robbery!"
Zhu Huihui was so happy she almost threw away the roast chicken. What an ignorant robber! Is there anyone in this world poorer than her?
Upon closer inspection, these people turned out to be the five big, dumb guys from the Five Heroes of Qiyun!
Last time at Qingfengya, I was beaten up by "colluding with each other" because I wanted to save them. Then I was driven away by my husband and wife. I left in anger and didn't know how they were doing. I never expected to run into them here.
