BC Chapter 101
by Volare“Are you going to keep following that woman Yao? You should understand that her identity is a threat to us, right?” Xu Rubing’s expression, which had just been gentle when she heard Lu Ziming’s question, suddenly turned cold, as if she had suddenly become a different person.
“People like us can only temporarily maintain this state of peaceful coexistence with the virus in our bodies. No one can say for sure whether they will suddenly mutate into a more powerful zombie, losing all human thoughts and consciousness.” Xu Rubing lowered her voice as she spoke, but her emotions slowly became heightened. She sat up abruptly, turned her body, and slowly pressed toward Lu Ziming, saying, “They are ordinary people, but we are not. Don’t think that there are no obvious contradictions between us now. If we keep staying around them, one day when the city crisis is resolved, the organization behind them will immediately turn its attention to us as mutants. As a social anomaly, at that time we will passively lose the right to pursue freedom, and may even become the meat on their chopping board, at their mercy.”
“So, I saved you and told you these things so that you would understand that in order to avoid what I just said from happening to us, from now on we must stay away from Yao and her group and hide our identities as mutants. Not only can we not be friends with them, but when necessary, we may even become enemies fighting with swords. Do you understand?” As the last question landed, Xu Rubing had already completely encircled Lu Ziming from afǔshì angle.
“You… can you get up first…” Lu Ziming actually understood what she said and had indeed thought about it, which is why she decided to distance herself from Yao Jinglin. She thought this was the best thing to do for herself now. But the truth was that when she deliberately avoided Yao Jinglin’s touch and said those perfunctory words, seeing Yao Jinglin’s lonely expression made her feel very uncomfortable, like a stone was pressing on her heart, making her feel suffocated. She didn’t know why she had these inexplicable emotions. She had clearly done what seemed right, so why did she feel unpleasant? And what was the indescribable feeling that surged in her heart when Yao Jinglin threw herself on her before? Clearly, that was a feeling she had never experienced when interacting with others. So, she didn’t understand, and she couldn’t discuss it with anyone. The only person she could confide in had already left, so she could only suppress that feeling and coldly said to Xu Rubing, who was obviously crossing the line.
Unlike the feeling when she was close to Yao Jinglin, Xu Rubing’s close proximity at this moment only made her feel uncomfortable, and she couldn’t help but want to step back and escape immediately.
“I won’t! What are you hiding from? I’m not going to eat you… Well… not entirely. You smell really good. What if… hehe.” Xu Rubing’s deliberate evasive actions aroused rebellious thoughts. The more she hid, the more she wanted to get closer, until their faces were so close that they could hear each other’s breath. Then, she suddenly got up, with a meaningful smile on her face, and her words were so ambiguous that no one could understand what she wanted to do.
Taking advantage of Xu Rubing’s getting up, Lu Ziming also quickly climbed up from her position, looking at Xu Rubing with an expression of disbelief, as if she were looking at a madman.
Although Xu Rubing was not very old, and her previous behavior seemed no different from ordinary girls, Lu Ziming could still hear the abnormality of this girl from the conversation just now – at least, Lu Ziming could not judge whether the well-behaved and gentle appearance she had shown in front of everyone before was all pretense, or whether her personality was so jumpy and had two completely opposite sides.
But no matter which inference was correct, it could only explain one thing – this woman was really not suitable to be her partner. So, she would still stick to her previous practices and judgments. She definitely had to leave, but she would never take a un·de·tonated·bomb like Xu Rubing with her, so that she would not have to be constantly on guard against her.
“Why are you staring at me like that? Do you like me too?” Xu Rubing sat cross-legged on the side, propping her cheeks with her hands, playfully smiling and asking Lu Ziming.
“Too…? What do you mean?” Lu Ziming was stunned and couldn’t continue to stare at Xu Rubing with the eyes of an alien. She was obviously startled by the meaning in Xu Rubing’s words.
“I like you, isn’t it obvious?” Xu Rubing still had her cheeks propped up, blinking her eyes with an innocent look, but the words that came out were like a heavy punch directly at Lu Ziming.
“…” To be honest, Lu Ziming didn’t believe it, and she felt like she was being played by a girl younger than her, so her already angry face instantly turned livid. But she suppressed her anger, just turned her head and didn’t intend to waste words with Xu Rubing. It was afternoon now, and she planned to wait until sunset and into the night, taking advantage of everyone’s rest to find a chance to slip away.
“Hey? What do you mean? Why don’t you say anything? You… don’t you think I’m lying to you?” Xu Rubing was obviously very dissatisfied with Lu Ziming’s performance at this time. She put down her hand and touched her arm, her eyes rolled and she had another idea.
She grabbed Lu Ziming’s collar and pulled her in front of her, then pouted her lips and moved closer.
