BC Chapter 147
by VolareFrom the bullet being fired to He Linglong letting herself in through the window, the whole process was completed smoothly and seamlessly—her mobility was accumulated through years of training. Therefore, many times her subconscious actions were even faster than her brain’s processing speed. This led to her already reaching the injured Kang Jian with her amazing jumping ability after infection and mutation before the people from the fitness hall could even arrive.
Her continuous punches and elbow strikes all aimed at the location of the gunshot wound, causing Kang Jian, who was already bleeding non-stop, to let out earth-shattering screams. However, before the screams could last for even a minute, He Linglong’s inch-force palm strike directly hit his jawbone. A crisp sound of bone collision rang out, and Kang Jian’s jaw was dislocated by He Linglong.
After that, lightning-fast slaps landed continuously on Kang Jian’s face. Almost in an instant, Kang Jian’s face swelled up visibly.
However, that was still not enough. He Linglong’s anger had not been vented. Kang Jian, who had been beaten against the wall, only had faint groans of pain in his throat, barely audible. He Linglong spun around and smashed her foot down, heading straight for the crotch of this lustful beast.
A scream that didn’t sound human rang out, and Kang Jian curled up on the spot like a thoroughly cooked shrimp. The unbearable pain made him tremble non-stop, and he didn’t even have the strength to groan. He looked as if he was worse than dead.
Just as the suddenly appearing He Linglong completed this series of attacks, the people in the fitness hall seemed to finally react and rushed towards the private room inside.
However, He Linglong just tilted her head, her eyes still sharp and cold, a mocking smile tugging at the corner of her lips. Before the people outside could rush into the room, she slammed the wooden door of the private room shut, quickly locked it, and then dragged the nearly unconscious Kang Jian to the door to block it.
The people outside were frantically pounding on the door, but the solid wood door panels were quite sturdy, and it looked like they wouldn’t be able to get in for a while. He Linglong didn’t waste time, quickly untying Jiang Juncheng. Jiang Juncheng, who had been calmly sitting in the chair, unexpectedly shed a tear when He Linglong tenderly stroked her wound with her fingertips.
Only when the hot tears ran down her cheeks and shattered on the base of He Linglong’s palm did Jiang Juncheng belatedly feel ashamed, and her ear tips turned red. She immediately closed her eyes to control the heat in her eye sockets, but unexpectedly felt a fleeting, gentle touch on her lips.
She opened her eyes in surprise, only to see He Linglong’s pretty face less than an inch away from her own, with some apology and affection, her eyes full of tenderness. As if to confirm Jiang Juncheng’s guess, she slowly pressed her lips against hers again.
He Linglong’s eyebrows and eyes magnified again in her eyes, making Jiang Juncheng’s eyes widen and her brain unable to think, like a doll losing its reaction. However, this performance was only superficial. In fact, Jiang Juncheng’s heart was already in a mess.
? I… was… kissed by He Linglong??
How is that possible?
Does she know I’m in love with her?
Why? When?
Did I show it?
Jiang Juncheng, who was being kissed, instantly had a brain storm, but still couldn’t come up with a reasonable answer. She also couldn’t figure out why, even though it was just her lips touching He Linglong’s, she felt her heart tighten as if it had been electrocuted, and then beat wildly.
Thump, thump… the sound of her heartbeat seemed to be louder than the sound of the hooligans pounding on the door outside.
Yes, this was the feeling of kissing a loved one mentioned in those novels she had read. So clumsy, so inexperienced, yet so exciting and soul-stirring, as if her soul had been given Meng Po’s soup, she completely forgot the bullying she had suffered at the hands of others, and her whole body lost its weight, feeling light, warm, and fuzzy.
Jiang Juncheng was still immersed in a dazed state until He Linglong got up, unable to wake up for a while.
However, the decisive He Linglong didn’t give Jiang Juncheng much time to savor the moment, pulling her back to the window, telling her to climb onto the windowsill, and then jumping directly onto the top-floor balcony of the adjacent building. Because the overall floor of the building next door was slightly lower than the floor they were currently on, and the gap between the two buildings was not large, so even jumping over wasn’t that difficult.
The reason why He Linglong always carried that hand·gun with only one bullet left in her arms was actually because she wanted to use it when the situation was so serious that she had no choice but to fire·gun. And she knew that once she fired·gun, no matter where they were, the gun·shot would definitely attract those dense zombies to where they were, which meant that while solving the current crisis, a new crisis would inevitably arise. So, it was crucial to judge under what circumstances she could use it. Therefore, even though she had always had this backup plan, she had not used this gun in the previous situations.
But the situation just now was something she had not anticipated. She only knew that if she had not decisively fired the gun just now, then Jiang Juncheng would have been touched by that beast.
This idea only appeared for less than a tenth of a second, and her hand had already moved on its own before her brain could even judge.
You son of a b*tch, who gave you the guts! How dare you covet my person!
With her anger value maxed out, He Linglong only had this sentence left in her mind. It wasn’t until the last kick landed that her current emotions eased slightly.
She clearly knew how damaging irrational behavior was to a person’s image. What’s more, she hadn’t expressed her feelings to Jiang Juncheng yet.
But at this time, she couldn’t care so much. The injuries on the other person’s face and the scars on the corners of their mouth tugged at her heart, causing a sharp, hard pain.
Even extending a finger to gently stroke it was afraid of hurting them, let alone how much the broken feeling that Jiang Juncheng exuded when that tear hit her palm stimulated He Linglong.
Her love, guilt, and heartache reached their peak at the same time, directly breaking the shackles of reason on her body, so she lost control and dropped the first light kiss.
But the reason that followed the kiss made her unable to withdraw and disclaim any relationship with the just emotional, because she was not the kind of ambiguous and irresponsible person. Not to mention that after opening her eyes, she completely met Jiang Juncheng’s innocent and confused eyes. The impulse that she still wanted in her heart seemed less impatient under the suppression of reason, but there was no way she could resist the forward continuation.
I haven’t confessed yet, what is this–no, I can’t control so much, I will be responsible for my actions.
No, please, be sure to let me be responsible. The throbbing heartbeat and the pitiful reason danced together, making reason dizzy. He Linglong’s thoughts had never been so contradictory.
If it weren’t for the quacking of the ducks outside constantly destroying the atmosphere, and the chair below also affecting the performance of the two, maybe He Linglong wouldn’t have had the chance to decisively withdraw.
After all, the attractiveness of the person in front of her was very great. It was certainly stimulating in this dangerous situation, but He Linglong didn’t want to let Jiang Juncheng take risks with her again.
