BC Chapter 130

Chapter 129

“I told you I didn’t need it… Hey, don’t push me… Seriously, fine, fine, can you at least let me get a set of clean clothes?” Under Lu Ziming’s insistence, Xu Rubing was still forced to go to the restroom to take care of personal hygiene. Although compared to Lu Ziming, Xu Rubing’s clothes were just a bit old, and there was some congealed blood splattered on her coat, she didn’t look too disheveled. However, if someone got close to her, the smell after being near her would definitely be unpleasant.

“I’ll get them, you go in and take care of it first. Is the same as mine okay? If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as agreement, I’ll go first.” Lu Ziming’s words were spoken one sentence at a time, as if she was asking for Xu Rubing’s opinion, but she didn’t give Xu Rubing a chance to argue at all. Although the zombies on this floor had been mostly taken care of by Xu Rubing, she was still worried that Xu Rubing would be cornered by zombies and get hurt when she took off her equipment. So she had already decided to go and return quickly, and before she even heard Xu Rubing’s reply, she had already quickly left.

“Hey? …Wh…” Xu Rubing didn’t understand what Lu Ziming meant by “the same as her” before Lu Ziming ran off. Without a chance to express any thoughts, she could only obediently start unloading her equipment and taking off her clothes.

It wasn’t until she took off her coat that she realized what Lu Ziming meant by “the same as her.”

W-wait a minute! Could it be… co-couple clothes?

Her face flushed red instantly, and Xu Rubing quickly raised her hand to cover her face to cool down, her pupils trembling.

N-no way? Although she had seen many couples wearing couple outfits in matching or different styles and colors after entering university, and she had a small expectation in her heart, fantasizing about the happiness of wearing couple outfits with someone she liked, it would definitely not be in the current chaotic situation!

Moreover, that kind of unrealistic fantasy had long been shattered by the realistic blows at the time. She hadn’t even thought that she would ever think about this again one day.

That’s not possible. Lu Ziming, with her wooden-headed mind, would only choose the exact same pure black style as her, which would only give people a feeling of being “accomplices in a crime,” and there would be no “couple outfit” atmosphere at all.

Thinking this through, Xu Rubing’s mind finally gradually cooled down, and she slowly calmed down, first removing her top and underwear, and started washing herself with her back to the door.

If it were just her alone, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like, anyway, her purpose was revenge, and even if she had a disheveled appearance, it wouldn’t affect her surginghatred for wanting to crush those beasts. But now that she had Lu Ziming by her side, the situation inevitably changed—although she initially recruited her just to have an extra hand for revenge. Even if she were to go deeper, it was just that she couldn’t stand her cold-faced but warm-hearted do-gooder persona. Xu Rubing always wanted to see this little white rabbit become fierce and bite people, or directly take off her mask and reveal her true face as a big bad wolf. That’s why she made so many provocative actions towards her.

She was slowly sinking into the mire, how could she be willing to watch Lu Ziming on the shore wearing moonlight and showing a compassionate appearance? If she didn’t drag her into the mire, how could she calm her feeling of injustice and grievance?

Thinking this way, she even increased the force with which she scrubbed her body. But… what she didn’t expect was that in just a short time of getting along, she had already betrayed her original self and fallen in love with this prey that she wanted to destroy with all her heart.

She even started to be obedient like a newlywed wife because of her few words.

Thinking of this, the strength that Xu Rubing had been holding on to dissipated again…

“…The clothes are hung on the door handle for you, the shoes are at the door, I’ll wait for you outside, call me if you need anything.” Lu Ziming, holding the clothes and running back with her head down, bumped into a scarred back as soon as she entered the door. She quickly stopped and stared at the intricate scars on Xu Rubing’s back for a few seconds before quickly turning her head and saying in a somewhat hoarse voice. Perhaps to avoid suspicion, before her voice had completely fallen, she had already retreated.

“…Oh.” Startled by Lu Ziming’s sudden voice, Xu Rubing crossed her arms over her chest and looked back, only to see a glimpse of Lu Ziming’s back.

Suddenly realizing what Lu Ziming had seen, Xu Rubing’s eyes darkened, and she subconsciously responded before turning back and continuing.

As for Lu Ziming outside the door, although she had already left Xu Rubing’s sight, she still felt a little awkward and raised her hand to touch the back of her neck, then slowly took two steps back, leaned against the wall, put her hands in her pockets, and thought about something with her head down.

Compared to the children of ordinary families, Lu Ziming’s family was definitely not a happy one. The things she was disliked, beaten, and scolded by her father when she was young were still vivid in her mind even now, and her mother’s aggrieved cries seemed to echo in her ears as clearly and unforgettably.

So she didn’t trust close relationships between people. Even after her parents divorced, and her mother brought her up and didn’t let her suffer any undue grievances, she still had the same idea, it hadn’t changed.

—What marriage, what love, are all unreliable existences. Even later, for the relationship of friends, she chose to avoid them if possible. This was also the fundamental reason why she insisted on being alone at work and basically didn’t participate in any gatherings outside of work.

She didn’t expect anyone’s existence, so she didn’t pay attention to many things other than herself. When she was in school, she mostly had a cold face and went alone. Although she had encountered a few times the scenes of those campus bullies, male or female, gathering together to bully the weak, she chose to ignore them and leave, and never had the act of rushing up to help people because of a surge of righteousness. Naturally, she was lucky enough to avoid matters related to campus bullying because of this.

Now that she saw the scars on Xu Rubing’s back, she couldn’t help but think more about it. Actually, it wasn’t difficult, just a simple thought could lead to two possible conclusions: one, someone in her family was abusive, and two, she was bullied by people at school.

As for Xu Rubing’s identity, it wasn’t actually something she told Lu Ziming directly, but rather something Lu Ziming deduced based on Xu Rubing’s equipment. After all, the memories in her head from the beginning of the riot until now were all blank, and she was completely confused as to why she was in this shopping mall.

To say that she wasn’t flustered at the beginning would definitely be a lie, but fortunately Xu Rubing was very powerful. The zombies encountered when they first looked for a place to clean up were basically easily dealt with by Xu Rubing before they even had a chance to launch an attack on the two of them. Moreover, Lu Ziming’s poker face had indeed been cultivated to perfection, so she didn’t show too much abnormality in front of Xu Rubing, and even stole a lot of skills and tricks while Xu Rubing was dealing with the zombies.

However, this wasn’t because the amnesiac Lu Ziming was so powerful, but rather because this body had obviously been accustomed to fighting zombies even before her reason started to think. Many actions were subconscious, done without thinking, but they just happened to solve the urgent needs appropriately.

So after the initial panic, she gradually calmed down. Even now, she had the Yu Yuto care about Xu Rubing’s previous experiences.

However, thinking further, she felt that she shouldn’t delve into this matter too much. First of all, the amnesiac self was not familiar with Xu Rubing, and such matters were generally a person’s secret, scars that they wouldn’t want others to know. So it was best to pretend that she hadn’t seen anything, not ask, and not care too much, which would be the most polite way to treat Xu Rubing.
