Lin Qiao turned back and looked at him coldly as she said, “Am I blind? Why can’t I tell that Xiao Licheng is into Duan Juan?”

“He is… because I said so,” said Wu Chengyue smilingly.

Lin Qiao looked at his face. Ever since he woke up, he was wearing that fake, foxy smile. In that smile, his pretty eyes curved into a crescent, concealing all his emotions and the good looks of those eyes.

She suddenly missed those cold and emotionless eyes that she had seen on his face not long ago!

Wu Chengyue’s eyes glowed as his zombie lady was looking straight at those eyes. ‘She hasn’t realized that her vibe is changed yet. Doesn’t she know that her attitude toward me is already different?’ he thought.

“Tell me, what did you do to me earlier? In your current condition, you couldn’t possibly knock me out. Besides… I’m not feeling any discomfort,” he said. All he felt was a refreshing and sweet aroma that lingered in his mouth. That was from her mouth, wasn’t it?

Wu Chengyue twisted his neck, then touched his head. He couldn’t help but take another glance at Lin Qiao’s lips, looking like a cat that had stolen a piece of meat.

Her aroma still made him feel comfortable. He felt no discomfort from his head and neck, meaning that he wasn’t knocked out. So, he must have drunk the magical water from her space.

Lin Qiao looked at him and said expressionlessly, “Em, I didn’t knock you out. I just gave you some drug.”

While speaking, she awkwardly turned her face away to avoid looking at him.

Earlier on, his tongue had stirred in her mouth. She could still feel that numbness from her lips. The man always looked mild and smiling, yet under that fake-smiling face, it turned out that he was like a fierce beast that could even swallow the girl whom he was kissing.

However, he still instinctively tried to protect Ling Ling and Lin Qiao when he lost control of himself. Thinking about that, Lin Qiao felt as if she had dropped some kind of burden deep down. She no longer felt as strongly repulsive to him as she did before.

With that thought, Lin Qiao’s heart missed a beat. She finally realized that her feelings for Wu Chengyue had changed and were going out of her control. That made her feel slightly confused and helpless.

Soon, she suppressed her confusion and helplessness with sanity and stayed calm, adjusting her expression.

Wu Chengyue looked at her with a meaningful smile and said, “As we all know, people won’t obediently do what we tell them when they lose the control of their powers. I don’t have that part of memory, but I suppose I would not complyingly drink the drug when you gave it to me. Am I right?”

He had guessed out what happened between him and her, but still wanted to know about the details. The zombie lady looked perfectly unharmed. His energy couldn’t avoid hurting her automatically, so he must have tried to protect her instinctively.

She was willing to feed him the drug with her mouth. Did that mean that she already accepted him a little bit?

But at the moment, the zombie lady again hid in her shell and tried to avoid him. That made Wu Chengyue feel a little worried.

Before, no matter how hard he tried to pursue her, she always responded to him with a cold attitude, but never tried to avoid him. Yet now, she had started to avoid him. Was that because she had started to care about him?

The more he thought about that, the more Wu Chengyue wanted to know the answer.

He looked at her face and couldn’t help but land his eyes on her light-purple lips again. It had been such a long while since he woke up, yet the color of her lips only faded slightly. Was it because zombies’ blood was still dead?

He remembered kissing her the last time in the water. Her lips were lightly colored, but very tasty, soft and elastic, slightly cold.

This time, he kissed her lips into purple-red. Apparently, he kissed her so hard. Sadly, he didn’t remember it at all. What a shame!

Lin Qiao felt terribly uncomfortable under his gaze. She had just realized how her feelings toward him had changed, and was having a lot of thoughts going on in her mind. Under that situation, she could not stand being stared straight at by him.

Somehow, she felt a little hot. Was that an illusion?

“You were out of control, but you still had a slight little bit of sanity remained. You recognized Ling Ling and me, so you didn’t hurt us. I gave you the cup and you drank the drug. Nothing else happened!” She said expressionlessly while looking straight ahead. She had no courage to look at him in the eyes at all.

Hearing that, Wu Chengyue paused briefly, then said with disbelief, “Could that happen? Why didn’t I feel anything then? Is that true, Jen?”

He abruptly turned to ask Shen Yujen, who was driving the car.

Shen Yujen was listening to the conversation between Wu Chengyue and Lin Qiao. Hearing Wu Chengyue’s question, she replied, “Chief Wu, your condition seemed to be a little special. You were still able to control your power! You weren’t completely out of control like the others.”

Wu Chengyue nodded. Based on what Shen Yujen said, his condition did sound a little better than what happened to the others.

He, of course, did not believe that he drank the drug from a cup that the zombie lady handed him. If that was the case, why were her lips purple-red? Did he try to kiss her while he lost control of himself?

If that was really what happened, she would have a different reaction, wouldn’t she?

He might have forcibly kissed her, yet she wasn’t showing any dislike or hatred toward him. With that thought, Wu Chengyue looked at Lin Qiao with an even more meaningful look.

However, as the zombie lady seemed to be trying too hard to avoid him at the moment, he restrained his vibe slightly. He should not push her too hard. What if she got emotional and ran away?

He needed to pull her slowly out of her shell, or… Should he drag her out before she hid her entire self in it?

Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then changed the topic, “Ah, how come we’re so far away from the base? I seem to remember that the crazy superpowered people didn’t tend to move in a large range. I get it that you guys needed to get me out of the base, but we didn’t need to come this far, did we?”

That question was for Lin Qiao. She blinked and said, “I had to bring you far away from our base in case you ran back.”

Shen Yujen had no answer to that question. Back then, she sensed that Lin Qiao’s vibe disappeared for a short while, and Wu Chengyue’s vibe suddenly grew stronger. Not long after that, Wu Chengyue started moving fleetingly toward Lower City District.

Shen Yujen, Duan Juan and Xiao Licheng didn’t know what exactly was happening. They thought it was some kind of skill of Lin Qiao. And now, on hearing what Lin Qiao said, she was surer about it.
