TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 36
by VolareChapter 36: Shameless Person
Lin Yi chuckled beside him, remaining silent. Heh, letting him have his way, of course. What else could they do? Only the person with the knife to their neck knew.
Lin Yan fanned the flames from the side, saying, “It’s just too much, but we can’t do anything about it. We can’t beat Xie-dage, and he won’t listen to reason.”
Lu Yunzhou couldn’t stand it anymore, glaring at him. “Shut up!” Then he looked at Lin Yi with a reproachful gaze, conveying, *Control your brother!*
Lin Yi shrugged and waved his hand, indicating he couldn’t control him. It’s hard to dissuade someone determined to die. If he wants to act up, there’s nothing he can do.
Chen Zhiqiang, the simpleton, got provoked by a few words and was about to rush over to argue with Xie YunChuan. Lin Yi quickly stopped him, “Hold your horses, hold your horses. You should take care of yourself first. You’re already walking crookedly, and you want to argue with someone? Argue about what? You wouldn’t even last one punch.”
Then he said to Lin Yan, “Stop with the yin and yang* (yin yang – passive-aggressive) stuff. If you’re not happy with Luo Shuyou, go do something yourself.” He thought everyone could see that he was jealous of Luo Shuyou, so he was trying to stir things up.
Lin Yan feigned grievance, “I’m just thinking about everyone. Having a zombie following us around all day, can you sleep soundly?”
“Heh, where’s the ‘everyone’? Xie YunChuan doesn’t want to play with you, haha.” Lin Yi knew perfectly well that they were just trying to curry favor, hoping that if they encountered danger in the future, people would lend a hand if they happened to pass by. Thinking of following behind them and having them clear obstacles for you? You’re ugly, but you have beautiful dreams.
“Ah, aren’t we going with them?” Lin Yan finally understood that Lin Yi’s abilities weren’t even enough to be a stepping stone in the end of the world. Following Xie YunChuan might lead to a way out.
Lin Yi sarcastically said, “Big brother, are you really not understanding human speech? Why would they take you with them? Because you’re ugly?”
Lin Yan was furious. “You…!” He couldn’t find a word to retort after “you.” He was indeed not as good-looking as Luo Shuyou, but at least he was human, right? That alone was a million times better than Luo Shuyou, the little zombie. Besides, he wasn’t ugly either. Why couldn’t he compare to Luo Shuyou?
He probably knew how ridiculous his self-consoling thoughts were, so he didn’t say them out loud.
Chen Zhiqiang was confused. “Isn’t it better if he doesn’t come with us? Why do you all seem like you want to be with them so much? Aren’t you afraid of zombies?”
Lin Yi didn’t want to explain so much to him. They were just acquaintances who happened to meet, and he was too much of a soft touch. There was no point in getting close.
Lu Yunzhou was even less inclined to say anything to him. Even though Luo Shuyou was indeed a little zombie, he was a cute little zombie, okay? Of course, they should ignore the times he violently twisted heads off.
Most of the time, he was very cute, clean, and beautiful. Why did they keep calling him insulting names like “zombie”?
Therefore, Chen Zhiqiang had no way of knowing Xie YunChuan’s heroic deeds, and therefore did not know how powerful he was and that traveling with him would be a huge guarantee.
Wen Fan, huddled in the back, suddenly coughed, wanting to attract everyone’s attention. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he had no choice but to speak up, “Um, do you guys have any food? I haven’t eaten anything for two days.”
Everyone looked at him with a bewildered expression. How could he ask that question so calmly? He hadn’t eaten for two days, so what? They had food, so what?
Did he really think that if he asked, they would take out their food and share it with him?
Come on, this is the end of the world. What’s so strange about not eating for two days? Starving to death isn’t strange at all.
There are plenty of people begging on their knees and still not getting a bite to eat. He just asks a question as if others should give him food? Food is so precious in the end of the world. Who would pay attention to him?
Chen Zhiqiang’s worldview was refreshed by his shamelessness. Besides, wasn’t he the one who hadn’t eaten for two days? Wasn’t he the one who ate all their rations this morning, not leaving him a single drop?
Wen Fan’s face burned under everyone’s gaze. Everyone’s silence spoke louder than words.
Indeed, everyone was harshly criticizing him in their hearts.
However, he still shamelessly said, “Everyone is a compatriot. We’ll be traveling together in the future, helping each other out. I’ll share any food I find with you.”
Lin Yi ruthlessly exposed him, “I don’t think you’ll find any food, and I don’t think you’ll share it even if you did.” It’s not like they just met him. Who doesn’t know him? He’s never looked for food himself, relying entirely on Chen Zhiqiang to “honor his teacher.”
Lu Yunzhou was even less likely to care about him. Not to mention that all his current food was given to him by Xie YunChuan, he had almost died the last time he tried to be a good person. He wouldn’t be a soft touch this time no matter what.
“The rain has slowed down. You guys should go look again. There should still be some food.”
Chen Zhiqiang looked at Wen Fan and said, “Teacher, if you’re really too hungry to bear it, go out and look. You’ve been sitting down and resting at every house along the way. You should be well-rested by now.”
Wen Fan angrily said, “Is this how you respect your elders? I’m so much older than you. What’s wrong with you taking care of me, an elder?”
Lin Yi chuckled in anger, it was the first time he’d seen someone so shameless and still act like they were in the right. “Elder, sorry, all my elders are dead. Or I could send you down to meet them and then you can come back up here and act like an elder to me? As for respecting teachers, each person respects their own.”
“You…!” Wen Fan’s face turned green with anger. “Zhiqiang, let’s go. Let’s go find food ourselves. I won’t beg from this group of disrespectful people.”
“Teacher, I already said, you go if you want. I’m tired. I can endure it. Isn’t that what you told me this morning?”
Wen Fan’s hands trembled with anger. “Good, good. You’ve grown up too, and learned to disobey your teacher.”
Lin Yi answered for Chen Zhiqiang, “Hmm! Thanks for the compliment. Our little Chen has indeed improved a lot.” He had long been unable to stand Wen Fan’s bullying of Chen Zhiqiang, but Chen Zhiqiang had previously been silent and worked hard without complaint. Now that he was like this, wasn’t that improvement?
Wen Fan stormed down the stairs in a fit of anger, disappearing into the darkness.
Chen Zhiqiang didn’t expect him to really dare to go out alone. Afraid that the same thing would happen as before, he was about to chase after him when Lin Yi grabbed him. “Don’t be so soft-hearted. He’s just lying down in a comfortable spot downstairs. He doesn’t dare to go far.”
Wen Fan walked downstairs and saw that Chen Zhiqiang wasn’t coming after him. The tables had turned, and it was his turn. But he didn’t dare to really leave. With his courage, he wouldn’t dare to face those things alone, even if he starved to death.
Tighten his belt and sleep, at this moment, he was still rejoicing that he had shared those things this morning. He took the lion’s share, otherwise, he really wouldn’t be able to hold on.
He was wrong. If he had left even a bite of food for Chen Zhiqiang this morning, Chen Zhiqiang would have given it to him first, even if he had only found a grain of rice.
It’s a pity, but people are like this: the selfish are for themselves, and the selfless get hurt.
