RTIWTLITEOTW Chapter 7
by VolareChapter 7 New Member, Hooray
Looking at the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, having so many scars, Jiang Xianchuan felt a little sorry for him, which also reminded him of himself.
When he was in the orphanage, because of his personality, no one except Shi Yi wanted to be friends with him, so he hid a utility knife. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would vent his emotions through self-harm.
As he grew older, Jiang Xianchuan gradually stopped doing this, but the scars left on his hands were a constant reminder.
Perhaps noticing that Jiang Xianchuan was staring at him, the young man stopped eating and instead stared back at Jiang Xianchuan.
“Hahaha, sorry, you eat, you continue.”
Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed and immediately got up, pretending to be very busy.
“By the way, what’s your name? My name is Jiang Xianchuan, you can call me Chuan Chuan or Xiao Chuan.”
“Li Lingyu.”
“What a nice name, what a nice name…”
At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan wanted nothing more than to go back, being stuck in an awkward conversation with a stranger was too torturous for him, he might as well just die.
But even more deadly than endless silence, Jiang Xianchuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, “I saw you coming back with Tan Wei earlier, do you know each other?”
“No.”
“Then how did you come back with him?”
Jiang Xianchuan sat next to Li Lingyu, looking at him curiously. Under Jiang Xianchuan’s expectant gaze, he sighed, “I was originally in the Hospital, but suddenly many doctors, nurses, and patients started biting people, I didn’t know what it was, so I took the opportunity to run out, and on the road I met…”
“Tan Wei.”
“Yeah, there were a few zombies at the time, so I killed them and accidentally saved him. He said he had supplies at home that he could share with me, but he needed me to protect him home, so I followed him here.”
Jiang Xianchuan nodded, not expecting that to be the case. “Then why did you help those sisters that day?”
“Kept crying about being hungry, too annoying.”
Okay, another reason like that, he was speechless.
“Am I bothering you by talking to you like this?”
Looking at Jiang Xianchuan’s smiling eyes, Li Lingyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
“That’s good, I was afraid you’d find me annoying and kill me. If we really fought, I’m not sure I could beat you.”
Afterward, the two chatted about things before the apocalypse, which made Jiang Xianchuan feel that this person didn’t seem to have any malicious intent.
When evening came, Shi Yi told him that there weren’t many zombies outside, only eight or nine.
So Jiang Xianchuan picked up the knife. “Let’s go together? To my place. I think you’re a pretty good guy, and you can act as a thug.”
Li Lingyu nodded, walked over, picked up the knife he had thrown away, and followed behind Jiang Xianchuan.
“I’m opening the door? 3—2—1!”
As the door opened a crack, Li Lingyu immediately rushed out, quickly taking care of the zombies at the door.
Jiang Xianchuan also immediately went over to help. Although it was their first time cooperating, they had a strange understanding.
“It’s time to open the door, Shi Yi.”
Shi Yi immediately opened the door after hearing the sound. She had also thought about opening the door to help, but she gave up, thinking that she wasn’t skilled enough and might hold them back.
After the two entered the door, Jiang Xianchuan put down the knife. “Shi Yi, let me introduce you, he will be our new member from now on, his name is Li Lingyu.”
Then Jiang Xianchuan pushed Li Lingyu in front of him. “Lingyu, this is Shi Yi, also my friend.”
Shi Yi extended her hand to Li Lingyu, revealing a smile. “Hello, nice to meet you.”
Li Lingyu nodded. “My hands are bloody.”
Looking at Li Lingyu’s bloodstained body, “Xianchuan, why don’t you go find some clothes he can wear, I’ll go heat up some water for him to bathe.”
“Okay.”
Then Jiang Xianchuan went to his bedroom to tidy up the bed. “Where do I put the clothes?”
Hearing the voice, Jiang Xianchuan turned his head and saw Li Lingyu’s wet hair hanging on his forehead, a hint of coldness between his brows, his lips slightly upturned under his high nose bridge.
He was tall and slender with well-defined muscles, wearing a simple shirt and jeans, but exuding a unique temperament.
“Just put them aside, I’ll clean up later.”
“Dinner is ready, come and eat.”
Hearing Shi Yi’s call, Jiang Xianchuan took Shi Yi’s hand and came to the dining table.
“What is it tonight?”
“Pig trotters with rice.”
“Hooray!”
The three sat at the dining table and began to eat. Shi Yi looked at Li Lingyu, thinking that this new member seemed a bit cold, but seemed to be a reliable person.
Jiang Xianchuan said while eating, “From now on, we’ll be eating three portions.”
“Never mind that, I just like cooking.”
Looking at Shi Yi’s expression, Jiang Xianchuan laughed. After all, they would face more challenges and difficulties, but fortunately, they had friends to face them together.
