Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203: Dark Descent (Part 23)

”Xiao Chu, that group of people is coming,” Ji Lin suddenly spoke.

That group of people?

Chuzheng reacted immediately, Gu He.

She got up and walked to the window. The window had a bay window, and at this moment Ji Lin was sitting on it. Ji Lin planned to get up for her, but who knew Chuzheng would walk over, place her hand on his shoulder, lift a corner of the curtain, and look down below.

Ji Lin: ”...”

Are they that familiar?

But Ji Lin quickly sensed the faint touch from Chuzheng, which made the hot environment feel even more stifling.

Chuzheng didn’t notice Ji Lin’s strangeness; she was observing the car below.

Gu He and his group stopped here as well, probably seeing that it’s easy to defend and hard to attack, making it easy to block zombies.

Gu He got out of the car first, followed by someone supporting an injured person.

It should be the Special Ability User who was stabbed by the survivor before.

The group looked a bit battered, probably having had a hard time escaping from those survivors.

Gu He and his group didn’t choose Chuzheng’s building but went to the opposite one.

Chuzheng put down the curtain and turned her head to meet Ji Lin’s gaze.

”What are you looking at?”

Ji Lin snapped back to reality, quickly turned his gaze away, and to prove he wasn’t too flustered, he quirked his lips and said, ”Xiao Chu has developed nicely.”

Chuzheng looked down, glanced, and nodded in agreement, ”Hmm, do you want to touch?”

Ji Lin was glad he wasn’t drinking water at that moment; otherwise, he would have spat it out.

Ji Lin pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and said, ”Are you this warm to everyone?” Did she even realize what she just said? Saying something like that to a hot-blooded man!

Chuzheng shook her head, ”Only you.” You’re my Good Person Card! No one else gets this treatment.

Ji Lin: ”...”

He opened his mouth, the words hovered around, but he couldn’t bring himself to say them.

He squeezed the snack in his hand and directly went downstairs, leaving the room.

Chuzheng looked down at her chest again, glanced at the still-present Jiang Rushuang, and ultimately did nothing to tarnish her big boss image.

Chuzheng sat back down to continue looking at the map.

Jiang Rushuang suddenly put Lele in her arms, ”Xiao Chu, hold him for a bit, I’ll prepare dinner for you.”

”Put him on the sofa,” Chuzheng didn’t feel like holding him.

”But the sofa is too narrow, Lele might fall off.”

Chuzheng got up and, with a rough turn, switched the sofa’s direction against the wall, ensuring Lele wouldn’t fall no matter how he rolled.

Jiang Rushuang: ”...”

Jiang Rushuang placed Lele in the makeshift space, ”Then... just watch over him a bit.” Jiang Rushuang left with a reluctant look back, to prepare food outside.

Chuzheng looked at the map for a while, thinking about the Good Person Card, until her thoughts drifted to who knows where.

She suddenly heard Lele’s soft cooing, turned her head, and saw the little guy had climbed onto the sofa armrest, staring at her with big button eyes, reaching out and grabbing in the air.

Chuzheng lifted a hand and extended a finger to him, which he grabbed instantly.

Chuzheng held the back of his hand, feeling its chubby, soft and tender texture...

Chuzheng glanced outside and quickly reached out to pinch the little guy’s face. Fed and rested, he didn’t fuss, letting Chuzheng pinch his cheeks.

”Xiao Chu, don’t pinch his face.”

Chuzheng quickly withdrew her hand, sitting upright like a good student in class, ”I didn’t.” Does Jiang Rushuang walk with no sound!!

”...” I saw it.

Jiang Rushuang took the things and went out, while Chuzheng got up first, checked the doorway, then sat back down.

-

Ji Lin ’chatted’ with Hei Tan to calm himself down for a bit, then only when Jiang Rushuang called did he get up and return inside.

When Ji Lin entered, he thought Chuzheng was sitting inside and was thinking about how to smile politely yet not awkwardly, but upon entering, he saw Chuzheng lying asleep on the not-so-big sofa.

Her body slightly turned, leaving plenty of room for Lele inside.

Lele was sprawled inside, limbs stretched out, sleeping soundly.

Big and small, the scene inexplicably warm.

Ji Lin felt as if struck on the head.

He didn’t even know why he saw the word warmth.

When Chuzheng was awake, her expression was always — no expression.

When resting, she was usually in light sleep; in the car, whenever he moved, she would wake up immediately. Rarely did he see her sleep like this...

”Mr. Ji...”

Jiang Rushuang entered from behind, calling for him.

Ji Lin came back to himself, somewhat awkwardly saying, ”They’re asleep, let’s call them later.”

Jiang Rushuang peeped inside, ”Then... let’s eat outside.”

”Mm.”

Ji Lin turned and left the room to have dinner outside with Jiang Rushuang. Hei Tan, smelling the aroma, whined with hunger, but Ji Lin didn’t say to give him food, and Jiang Rushuang just glanced at him, not daring to feed him.

Ji Lin also found Jiang Rushuang peculiar.

Clearly, she looked like the kind who felt sorry for the weak and wanted to help them. Her face almost spelled out, ”I feel so sorry for them, I want to help,” yet all this time, she hadn’t displayed such holy character.

Ji Lin, biting a lollipop, thought: Luckily, she didn’t pull such things; otherwise, she would’ve been kicked out by him long ago.

-

Chuzheng didn’t sleep long, while Lele sprawled all over. Chuzheng swiftly scanned the room, seeing no one, promptly pushed Lele’s little feet aside, and jumped up.

Luckily, no one saw; otherwise, what about my big boss image.

Chuzheng checked the time, adjusted her clothes, and walked out. The room’s windows were blocked by black cloth, with furniture pushed against them.

Only two candles lit the room, giving off a dim light.

Jiang Rushuang was tidying up, Ji Lin sat on the side eating candy, and Hei Tan lay there lifelessly.

Jiang Rushuang saw her come out, ”Xiao Chu, you’re awake, we saved some for you, I’ll bring it to you.”

Chuzheng’s steps stiffened, her mind booming.

Jiang Rushuang knew she was asleep, so what did she see just now?

Ahhhhh!!

What did they see!!

Should they be silenced!!

Chuzheng’s lips moved, but no sound came out. She walked heavily to sit near Ji Lin.

Ji Lin lazily glanced at her, seeing her tense little face, serious as if facing the apocalypse — it’s indeed the apocalypse now.

”Hurry and eat.” Jiang Rushuang placed the food in front of Chuzheng, smiling naively.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng remained silent and casually finished her dinner.

Ji Lin, with a half-smiling expression, watched her. The dim light cast a shallow glow in his eyes, making his gaze non-threatening.

Chuzheng ignored Ji Lin. If he wanted to watch, let him; it wouldn’t cost her anything.

-

In the dead of night, even the zombies seemed to rest, the street eerily silent.

Yet it wasn’t cool at night. Hot air rolled through the streets, carrying an unpleasant stench.

Chuzheng licked her chapped lips, standing in the shadows, looking at the building opposite.

”What are you looking at?”
