Xiao Xiao cried.
Lin You repeated this matter in her heart.
"Why..." She hurriedly stood up, a little dumbfounded.
"sorry."
Xiao Xiaobing's blue eyes were wet by the water, and the tears slipped from her eye sockets, leaving traces on the ground. She looked at the black bloodstain on Lin You's wrist, which was the proof of being infected by the zombie virus.
She'd become that irrational monster too.
"I'm sorry... I will, I will, save you." Xiao Xiao recalled the boy who transformed into a zombie in front of her, and even the words were a little vague, "I won't, give up."
"..."
Xiao Xiao wanted to show a positive expression to appease her, but failed. She lowered her eyes sadly, the tears rolling down from her eyelashes also seemed to be rolling down from Lin You's heart.
Lin You tightened her hands, and then slowly let go, laughing.
Xiao Xiao looked up at her blankly, as if she didn't understand how she could still smile.
"… it's OK."
Lin You smiled and wanted to touch her head, raised her hand and changed direction, gently wiped away the tears on Xiao Xiao's face: "It's really fine, I haven't told you about my ability yet."
"My ability 'self-healing', in addition to slightly enhancing my physical fitness and speeding up the healing of my injuries, there is another point..." Lin You paused. At this time, she thought of a lot, It was also a long time ago, "It can metabolize the zombie virus in my body."
Xiao Xiao stared at her blankly, as if she couldn't understand the meaning of her words for a moment.
"So, it's just a small injury, and it will heal soon." Lin You wiped off the blood, revealing the wound on her wrist. She doesn't know what it was like before, but now there is only a shallow cut left.
She tried to show a relaxed smile: "See? Don't worry so much."
"..."
Lin You didn't know what his expression was like at the moment, but after Xiao Xiao glanced at her with his misty eyes, he opened his mouth and pursed it again, and went into the room without saying anything.
Xiao Xiao was angry.
Lin You didn't realize this at first.
Not long after Xiao Xiao entered the room, she came out with a bandage and treated Lin You's wound. Even though Lin You repeatedly said that the wound would heal by itself soon, she still wrapped her wrists around her.
After changing clothes, washing hair, and having lunch, Xiao Xiao didn't let Lin You use her injured hand, and took care of her almost meticulously.
Because of this even more meticulous behavior than usual, Lin You only regarded her lack of interest as the fatigue of her mood ups and downs.
Until the afternoon, when Xiao Xiao was reading in the house, Lin You came to ask her if she wanted to go for a walk.
She raised her head from the pages of the book, and glanced at Lin You faintly. Her eyes were usually soft, but this time they showed a rare indifference that matched the color of her pupils.
What's even more rare is that Xiao Xiao rejected her, and silently lowered his head to flip through the book.
It was only then that Lin You belatedly realized that Xiao Xiao's more silence than usual was sulking.
And, because of her dullness, it seemed that her mood had deteriorated further.
Lin You sighed.
She sat under the porch, and put the yellow rhododendron branches in her hand into the bottle, trying to make it look better. This is what she picked up when she saw it on the side of the road when she went out alone.
Zhaocai moved his head curiously, Lin You pushed it and didn't push it, but it turned its head in disgust after smelling it, found a comfortable position beside Lin You and lay down.
The fluffy head of the big cat was close in front of her eyes, and Lin You touched it with her hands. Zhaocai made a purring sound from her throat when she touched it. She arched her head into her palm and rolled over to reveal her soft belly. .
It's really a cat.
Lin You didn't know how many times she sighed like this, but she always felt that she had a vague gaze on her body. When she looked into the room, she could only see Xiao Xiao staring at the book seriously at the table, her posture was still the same as before she went out. It hasn't changed.
Also, she hasn't been out for long.
If it's just for food, you don't need to go out frequently every day.
Lin You is not a character who is keen on wandering around. For her, there is nothing particularly interesting outside. She's just young, not really a child, and prefers to spend a day at home solving the Rubik's Cube rather than going out to play.
It's just ordinary things, it will be different if someone shares them; in the same way, without that person, these things will no longer be special.
So why is she angry.
Lin You was thinking about Xiao Xiao's matter, and touched the cat's head from the cat's head to the cat's neck with his hands, then squeezed Zhao Cai's fat cheeks, and then scratched its chin.
"Hiss..."
She touched something prickly on her hand, and when she looked back, there was a cocklebur sticking to Zhao Cai's chin.
It often goes out to play, and it is inevitable to get something on it. But this reminded Lin You of one thing. She threw the cocklebur out and put on a serious expression: "Zhaocai, should you take a bath?"
When Zhaocai heard the familiar vocabulary, his ears trembled, and he stopped snoring immediately, and quickly got up and slipped out the door.
Lin You: "..."
Is the intelligence of one or two of the mutant creatures so high
Lin You glanced at Xiao Hong, who was bathing in the sun, and then looked back into the room. Xiao Xiao didn't know when he half-closed the book and read it. After meeting her gaze, he opened the book as if nothing had happened.
Just a naughty kid. Lin You couldn't help showing a slight smile.
She took out the best one from the bouquet and walked up to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao's hand holding the book tightened slightly, pretending not to feel her approaching, but the blooming yellow azalea branch was gently placed on the page.
"I picked it on the side of the road. It looks really nice when I drive it."
"..."
Xiao Xiao raised her head and responded silently to her brisk smile.
"Have you ever eaten rhododendrons? I would pick them and eat them when I was a child, and I miss the taste a little bit..." Lin You tore off the petals and handed them to Xiao Xiao's mouth, but she refused them openly.
Lin You showed a regretful expression: "Don't you want it?" She was about to put it in her mouth, but Xiao Xiao grabbed her wrist.
Xiao Xiao stared at her sternly: "It doesn't matter what kind, you can eat them all."
"That's it." Lin You obediently put down the petals in her hand, and said, "But don't worry, even if you are poisoned, you will be fine with my ability."
Xiao Xiao pursed her lips to look at her, but didn't speak.
Lin You looked at her expression, and asked tentatively, "Are you really angry? Is it because I was too careless?"
Xiao Xiao remained silent, but did not refute.
Lin You knew that although she was partly right, she probably wasn't completely right.
Thinking about it seriously, Xiao Xiao is not a dishonest person, she will express any opinions directly, the current appearance is more like being awkward with her than being really angry.
"Is that because..."
Lin You thought about it carefully, and said what she thought was the biggest possibility: "Because my previous reaction was too rash, did it make you feel like you were being teased?"
Ah, you guessed it.
Lin You looked at Xiao Xiao's expression. On the one hand, she could understand her delicate mood - when she was seriously sad, another person took it seriously, which really made people angry; Xiao Xiao who is sullen about this kind of thing is kind of cute.
Oops, she knew it was not good to laugh at this time, but the corners of her lips still rose.
Xiao Xiao slammed the book shut, stood up and wanted to leave.
"Wait, wait a minute..."
Lin You quickly grabbed her and pushed her back on the stool, Xiao Xiao turned her face away and turned her back.
At this time, maybe body language is more useful, Lin You hesitated for a moment, and wrapped her arms around her shoulders from behind. It was a bit like an intimate gesture of hugging. Lin You felt that Xiao Xiao's body stiffened for a moment, and then slowly relaxed, and both of them became quiet.
Different from the quietness before, when we felt each other's body temperature overlapping, the irritable air gradually eased.
What Lin You was going to say was stuck.
Thinking about it this way, although she and Xiao Xiao ate and lived together, they seldom had such intimate actions. In other words, Lin You hasn't hugged anyone seriously for a long time, so long that she even forgot when was the last time.
She thought of the theory she had read before, saying that regular physical contact is good for mood and health, and suddenly felt that there was some truth.
"sorry."
Lin You said so suddenly, with a serious tone. Xiao Xiao had a questioning look on his face.
"Of course I didn't mean to make fun of you." Lin You said, "I apologize because I should have told you at the time... When you said you would save me, I was really happy. I was so happy that I couldn't express it normally. "
"Because, I always seem to be given up—"
Xiao Xiao's hand rested lightly on Lin You's arm.
Her fingers are long and soft, but her skin is light blue, and her dark purple nails are poisonous. When these hands landed on Lin You's fair and delicate arms, the contrast between the two showed their differences more strongly.
Lin You remembered the first time she was scratched by a zombie a long time ago. At that time, she didn't know her own abilities, and her companions certainly didn't know either.
They were not cruel people, and they couldn't attack the person who was fighting side by side at the last moment, but they didn't dare to leave a person who was about to turn into a zombie, so they could only choose to abandon her.
In fact, it has been too long, and the faces and names of many people, Lin You, are blurred, but they still remember the suffocating silence. Eye.
What frightened her most at that moment was not the future of becoming a monster, but the loneliness of being left behind.
At that time, when she was trembling in the ruins, she had nowhere to go, and she collapsed to the point where she could only cry. She never thought that one day, under such circumstances, she would see it on other people's faces.
Lin You covered Xiao Xiao's hand with a bandaged hand: "Thank you."
"..."
Xiao Xiao held her hand instead.
Because of her movements, something with thorns scratched Lin You's hand. The feeling of deja vu made Lin You look down, and finally found a small green cocklebur on the inside of Xiao Xiao's cuff.
Lin You was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and laughed: "This, did it stick to Zhaocai's body?"
Xiao Xiao: "...um."
The author has something to say:
Before Lucky mutated, it was a happy little house cat, extremely sensitive to the word bathing.
