The shameless Wei Yuan claimed that he had slept with me last night.
It seemed to have angered Si Jiangchen, who wanted to carry me back to the bedroom to disinfect me.
Wei Yuan tried to step forward to stop him but was kicked in the left hip by Si Jiangchen and fell into the corridor.
Si Jiangchen locked the bedroom door from the inside.
Ignoring Wei Yuan's thunderous pounding on the door outside.
He threw me onto the bed.
"Y-you, don't do anything crazy. Listen to me! I didn't, I didn't do... that kind of thing with him!"
I desperately backed away, suddenly feeling a sense of absurdity.
This situation looked exactly like those cheesy TV dramas where a cuckolded husband interrogated his wife!
Why should I cooperate?!
So what if I had sex with someone?!
"Um..."
Si Jiangchen leaned over again and kissed my lips. This time, it was different from the previous kiss that was like a claim of sovereignty. This time, it returned to that wanton, punishing kiss, from my lips to my neck and then to my chest. I was so scared that I struggled desperately to push him away, but Si Jiangchen was like a hungry wolf with no intention of stopping.
I was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, firmly controlled by him, and could only let him do whatever he wanted.
I was really afraid of him, not just because he said he was a zombie.
Every time he appeared, it was always accompanied by blood and pain. I had never been treated like this before. Compared to losing my life, I seemed to be more afraid of losing my chastity!
His hand had slipped under my clothes, and every place his calloused fingers touched made me shiver uncontrollably.
"...Let go of me... Don't do this!!"
I really couldn't hurt him. He was like a hard rock, and I only ended up hurting my own fingers. So I softened, and tears slid down the corners of my eyes into my hair by my ears.
Si Jiangchen's thin lips finally left my skin, but his hand still lingered on my abdomen.
"Do you know the consequences of going out with strangers casually?!"
His voice was hoarse, with a hint of gritting his teeth.
"I didn't, I didn't sleep with him."
I cried, my voice thick with sobs as I explained, "H-he was afraid of being haunted by evil spirits, so he came to ask me for help... He was on the sofa."
"That's still not okay!"
Si Jiangchen glanced at the messy sofa and said, "He's a guy who can't control his lower body!"
"...You're no different."
I was shaking violently. I cried and tried hard to pull his hand out.
"Please don't touch me again in the future! Don't make me bleed anymore! I don't want to become a zombie... I will definitely try my best to save your son! Please let me go!"
I, Du Xinghe, had never begged anyone in my life. This was the first time I was begging him so humbly in such a shameful situation.
"Let you go?" A playful smile appeared on Si Jiangchen's handsome face. "Xiao He, you're the first girl who has ever made me feel interested. I'll keep you by my side."
"No! I'm practicing the Taoist tradition. I'm going to kill ghosts and demons!"
I was desperate, but still tried to persuade him, "You're a zombie. If I achieve a high level of cultivation, I will definitely kill you... You don't want to have a ticking time bomb by your side, do you?"
"Hehe..."
Si Jiangchen finally showed some interest in my combination of tough and soft words. He half propped himself up, and his dark eyes reflected my hopeless self.
"Xiao He, I'll always welcome you to end my life."
There was a faint smile on his lips as he unbuttoned the mother-of-pearl buttons on his shirt one by one, revealing his nice collarbone and well - defined chest. Then he grabbed my hand and pressed it against his left chest.
"You can try it with a peach - wood sword here."
My fingertips touched his warm skin, but there was an empty space in his chest. There was no human heartbeat.
Outside, Wei Yuan was already shouting for Uncle Li to get tools to pry open the door.
Si Jiangchen kissed my lips a few more times before sitting up, tidying my clothes, and opening the door with me.
Taking advantage of Uncle Li going downstairs to get tools, Wei Yuan tried to ram the door again, but unexpectedly, the door was opened from the inside by Si Jiangchen.
He stumbled and almost fell at our feet.
"You bastard!"
Wei Yuan caught a glimpse of my lips, which were red and swollen from being ravaged. Without even thinking, he knew what Si Jiangchen had done. He cursed.
"A Yuan, is that how you talk to your uncle?"
Si Jiangchen waved him away like a fly again, then led me downstairs.
Uncle?!
I followed Si Jiangchen, my shock beyond measure.
Wasn't he a zombie? How could he have relatives?!
Could it be that Wei Yuan was also a zombie? Was Wei Yuan's mother a zombie too? And what about Wei Wenzhao, who was so eager to get women into Si Jiangchen's bed? Wasn't he human either?!
My mind was in a complete mess.
Downstairs, Aunt Li had already set out breakfast.
I sat through this meal on pins and needles.
Wei Yuan hardly touched his chopsticks, while Si Jiangchen seemed to be deliberately teasing Wei Yuan. He picked all the bacon from his own plate and put it in front of me.
"You're so thin. It's uncomfortable to hold you."
As Si Jiangchen said this, he even pinched my neck.
Instantly, a tiny shiver appeared on my cheeks.
"Bang!"
Wei Yuan, who had a bad temper, was so provoked by Si Jiangchen's actions that he directly overturned his breakfast.
"Du Xinghe, this guy is not a good person!"
Wei Yuan pointed at Si Jiangchen's nose and said, "He said he has a cleanliness fetish and has no interest in women. That's all just his trick. He has deceived several women into committing suicide or vowing to remain unmarried for life! He just likes to play with women. Don't be deceived by him!!"
I didn't know where to put my chopsticks.
What did Si Jiangchen's private life have to do with me... I couldn't care less about whether other women committed suicide or remained chaste!
I was so hungry, but in this atmosphere, how could I eat?
Si Jiangchen was a zombie! I'm afraid the women who had close contact with him had already become dead... No, even scarier, they might have already become his kind and were causing trouble in the world!
My mind couldn't help but recall the ghost - like woman in white on the sixth floor of the grand banquet. It seemed that she had been infected with the so - called "corpse poison" when she was intimate with Si Jiangchen and then became like that!
Looking at the bacon slices in front of me, I suddenly felt nauseous. I subconsciously wiped my lips, and my fear grew.
"A Yuan, you're used to hanging out in nightclubs. Xiao He is not your type. You'd better stay away from her."
Si Jiangchen was not bothered by Wei Yuan's accusations. He calmly picked up a cup and took a sip. "If you don't listen, you'll die."
"...If you have the guts, just kill me!"
Wei Yuan showed no fear of Si Jiangchen's threat. He must not know that that guy was a zombie, something that could kill someone instantly!
"I'm full."
I pushed away the tableware in front of me and stood up.
What a terrifying situation this was...
What kind of bad luck was this?
What did I do to deserve having a zombie and a playboy fight over me?
"I'm going to find Lu Dayong. You two don't need to follow..."
I pushed away the chair and was about to quickly leave this highly charged battlefield!
