    Chapter 37 Let Me Pamper You???

    Night fell, the lights came on, and it was dinner time. The house was filled with an enticing aroma, and the old man was seen smiling as he brought out carefully prepared delicacies from the kitchen, which soon filled the entire table.

    He warmly greeted the three young people in front of him: “Come and taste my cooking, kids!”

    Jiang Xianchuan, Shi Yi, and Li Lingyu sat around the table, and a warm current surged in their hearts as they looked at the abundant food.

    The old man said cheerfully, “I really have to thank you. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t know what to do. Now my daughter’s fever has finally gone down, and she’s gradually recovering.”

    Jiang Xianchuan quickly waved his hand and said, “Old man, you’re too polite. This is what we should do. We’ll be relieved as long as your daughter is safe.”

    At this moment, the old man seemed to suddenly remember something, and slapped his forehead, saying, “Oh dear, I was so happy that I didn’t even ask the names of my benefactors.”

    Jiang Xianchuan smiled slightly and replied politely, “We don’t deserve the title of benefactors. We’re just helping each other. My name is Jiang Xianchuan, this is Shi Yi, and that’s Li Lingyu over there.” After saying that, he introduced his two companions to the old man.

    “My name is Zhang Lin, and this is my eldest daughter, Zhang Xin.” Zhang Lin smiled and pointed to the woman with neat short hair sitting at the dining table. Zhang Xin smiled generously at the three people in front of her and said in a clear voice, “Hello!” Her smile was like the sunlight piercing through the morning mist, warm and bright.

    At this time, the old man continued to introduce, “I also have a second daughter, named Zhang Yan.” After saying that, a look of love appeared on his face.

    Afterwards, the three of them sat together to enjoy dinner and chatted happily.

    Zhang Lin said while picking up food, “I heard you’re planning to go to City Y? That’s a long way to go. And in my opinion, I suggest you change your route. The zombies here aren’t easy to deal with!”

    Hearing this, Shi Yi frowned and asked curiously, “Huh? Why do you say that? Is there some particularly powerful zombie here?”

    Before Zhang Lin could answer, Zhang Xin took over and explained, “There is indeed a very special type of zombie. I don’t know if you’ve encountered them before. They don’t have limbs, but they have an unusually sensitive sense of perception and can sense the presence of humans. Then, these guys can also transmit the location information of humans to other zombies, so that the nearby zombies can quickly gather. Once surrounded by them, the consequences would be unimaginable!” As she said this, Zhang Xin’s expression became serious.

    “What? There are zombies like that?” Jiang Xianchuan’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He was simply speechless.

    What have these damn zombies evolved into? Since he left home, he has encountered all kinds of strange and bizarre types.

    Just then, Zhang Xin continued, “However, it’s not entirely impossible to avoid attracting the attention of these zombies. It’s actually very simple, just smear our bodies with the blood of those zombies.”

    Hearing this, Shi Yi frowned, her face showing disgust and revulsion, and she couldn’t help but mutter, “Ugh, that’s too disgusting! Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.” As she spoke, she unconsciously shivered, as if she could truly feel the sticky, fishy smell surrounding her.

    After Jiang Xianchuan and Li Lingyu finished their sumptuous dinner, they slowly returned to their cozy room together. Jiang Xianchuan gently turned his head, his eyes softly falling on Li Lingyu beside him, and asked softly, “Yu Bao, why have you been silent all the way? You haven’t even said a word during dinner.”

    Li Lingyu lowered his eyes slightly, his expression somewhat cold, and responded lightly, “No particular reason, just didn’t feel like talking.”

    Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but smile. He stepped forward to Li Lingyu, stretched out his hands and gently took the other’s hand, and swayed it gently in the air, saying in an affectionate tone with a hint of flattery, “Oh dear, my darling, don’t be sulking. If I do something wrong that makes you unhappy, just tell me, okay?”

    Li Lingyu’s cheeks instantly turned crimson, and a touch of shyness quietly climbed onto his face. However, despite the unbearable shyness in his heart, he did not break free from Jiang Xianchuan’s hands that were tightly holding his own, but obediently let him hold them like this.

    “No…nothing.” Li Lingyu lowered his head, his voice as light as a mosquito, as if afraid that others would hear these embarrassing words.

    Looking at Li Lingyu’s hesitant and unwilling appearance, Jiang Xianchuan frowned slightly, but in the end, he did not continue to press him.

    “Okay, if that’s the case, then I won’t force you to say it for now. But tonight, let me pamper you properly?” A sly smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Xianchuan’s mouth, and his eyes stared intently at Li Lingyu’s face, which was becoming more and more charming because of his shyness.
