Chapter 171: End of the World - Zombie Era (10)
The flattery on Gu Chengbei's face lasted until the few people walked out of the street. When they reached the street entrance, his expression changed and he laughed triumphantly.
"Did you see the expression on that man's face just now? I think he is about to doubt his life, hahahahaha."
Cheng Yue looked at him in surprise. She had never heard that the mechanic Gu Chengbei had such a method before.
Ji Jiaqi's slightly angry mood was relieved by Gu Chengbei's smile, "How did you come up with this trick?"
"It's not easy. I used to like to read some face-slapping novels. I know eight thousand face-slapping routines even if I don't know ten thousand. It's just that I used to stay at home every day and had no place to use them. Now I finally find an opportunity."
Gu Chengbei finished his words with a smug look, and then said to Ji Jiaqi: "Don't think that I don't interact with people much. I watch too many TV novels. When a person stands in front of me and says a word, I can tell what kind of person he is by just glancing at him and listening to him. The man who spoke just now had a face full of aloofness. He looked at people with his nose, and he had to pretend to be respectful to others. He was simply a double-faced person. I just need to praise you, sister Ji, and he will definitely not dare to cause trouble again when he sees that you are a person of status."
Ji Jiaqi felt that Gu Chengbei's tone of smugness made her want to laugh, and she felt a little sad.
She and Ji Hang grew up together, but she didn't know him as well as Gu Chengbei, who had only met Ji Hang once.
Cheng Yue was sensitive to Ji Jiaqi's sense of loss. She wanted to ask, but then she remembered that her sister never mentioned those troubles to her before, always saying that she was just a child and should live happily.
"It seems that there is a cat bell for sale over there. I'll go and take a look."
Cheng Yue was about to go over with the cat in her arms, but Lin Shiheng, who had been quietly nestling in her arms, jumped down without saying a word and squatted quietly at Ji Jiaqi's feet.
The little girl always treated her sister's beloved cat as her own child (?), and did not force Lin Shiheng to go out with her. Anyway, she knew that ragdoll cats were always well-behaved and obedient, as if they could understand human words, so she simply went to the place where the bells were bought.
Ji Jiaqi was still worried that she had supernatural powers. She stood there and watched Cheng Yue squatting down not far from them to look at the bells, and then she was in the mood to talk to Gu Chengbei.
"Do you think I am quite a failure? I have known him for such a long time, but I can't even tell whether he is a man or a dog."
The person he was talking about was naturally Ji Hang.
When Gu Chengbei saw Ji Jiaqi, his gossipy soul, who had read countless novels and TV dramas for many years and found that he was a fool on the inside, suddenly lit up.
He found a stone and sat on it, "That's not what I said. Take the man just now. Before he revealed his true face, did he treat you like this?"
Ji Jiaqi shook his head, "I always thought he was very good. We grew up together and knew each other well. He was gentle, considerate and motivated, and his grades were good. He was at school and I was at work before, and he always called to ask about my well-being. When I was sick, he also cared about me..."
Gu Chengbei roughly understood the situation as soon as he heard it. He was also a person that not many people cared about. People are most vulnerable when they are sick, so he always thought it would be great if someone could show up at this time to care about him and talk to him.
He clapped his hands, "Who can't say that he cares? If I have this opportunity, I can tell you a lot. When you were sick, did he care about you? What about actual actions? Did he come to see you, buy medicine for you, cook for you, etc.?"
"No." Ji Jiaqi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "He is a medical student and has to go to school. How can he have time to come to see me."
"Then you can order a takeaway and ask the runner to bring you medicine?"
Gu Chengbei immediately looked contemptuous: "Who can't talk? The most important thing is actual actions. Although there are some straight men who can't think of actual actions, you can tell from the face of the man just now that this guy is just talking nonsense. Does he need you? Otherwise, why is he pretending like that? ? "
Ji Jiaqi thought about this question for a long time on the night of the breakup, and the only answer was: "He is a medical student. I graduated earlier than him and started working. Before the end of the world, most of his expenses came from me. I guess it was for money."
Speaking of this, she laughed sarcastically and sat on the stone with her knees hugged, imitating Gu Chengbei: "We are both orphans and grew up together. I thought I knew him well enough. After we got together, he mentioned to me that he wanted to get married in the future, so after work, he could use my money directly. I didn't need him to tell me. I sent him money every month to make him not live so hard. He has always been very good to me. When I was in school, my friends around me thought he was a good man. Who would have thought..."
Who would have thought that there would be such a shameless and good at disguised man in this world.
Gu Chengbei saw that Ji Jiaqi was shrouded in discomfort. He wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start. He could only cough and reach out his hand to gently touch her head.
"Well, don't be angry. You're not the only one who got fooled. Look at that pretty girl just now. She kept calling him Brother Hang. Her eyes were full of love for that guy. This shows that you're not blind. He's just too good at pretending."
Speaking of this, he smiled gloatingly: "But this guy can't pretend for long. When you said he cheated just now, the girl's eyes almost popped out. She will definitely not be deceived by him again. She owes money to that store again, and her end will definitely not be good."
Ji Jiaqi nodded. After all, she still had hatred in her heart. According to her personality, she would definitely not take the initiative to provoke him, but if Ji Hang got into trouble, she would not mind watching the joke.
"Thank you."
She smiled, her eyes a little red: "I was wondering before, is it really because I'm not good enough that he cheated on me..."
"What? You're very nice! But if you ask me, you're still too good to that guy. Even if you're really in a good relationship, you can't let your girlfriend support you. I'm not saying that a woman can't support a man. I'm saying that no matter whether it's a man or a woman, they have hands and feet. Why should someone who's not your biological parents bear the burden? This kind of relationship is a give-and-take. Since he could accept the money you gave him before, it means that he is a bad person. I guess his original plan was to kick you out after graduation and making money."
She hugged her knees and sighed a little weakly: "Maybe I'm the kind of giving personality that people say on the Internet, otherwise how could I be deceived by him for so long..."
"Meow~"
Lin Shiheng squatted beside her for a long time and finally heard this sentence. He immediately stretched out his tail to hook her calf.
"Hmm? What happened to Hengheng?"
Ji Jiaqi had never treated Hengheng cat as an ordinary cat. Seeing Lin Shiheng like this, she wanted to hug him immediately, but Lin Shiheng sat back, stood up and walked to the left, looking back at Ji Jiaqi as he walked.
This was obviously the way to lead the way.
Ji Jiaqi did not hesitate and shouted to Cheng Yue from a distance: "Yueyue, let's go."
Cheng Yue, who was expressionless and serious while comparing the cat bell, immediately took out a handful of white rice from her arms and gave it to the stall owner, took the bell and left.
Although this is a cat bell, it is not really for cats. It's the end of the world, who has the leisure to raise cats?
This thing is used to throw it on the toy car when going out to divert the attention of zombies. The stall owner was about to shout that the toy car had not been taken, but when he saw that there was actually a cat at Cheng Yue's feet, he immediately shut up and carefully put the white rice into the rice bag.
Don't underestimate this small handful. If they eat carefully, it can be enough for their family to have a meal.
Life is not easy now, but as a father, he has to take good care of his children no matter how hard it is.
The stall owner continued to sell, but Lin Shiheng led the three people into the house they rented.
"Hengheng, what's wrong? Do you have something to show us?"
Ji Jiaqi touched the cute head of the ragdoll cat and spoke softly.
Gu Chengbei on the side: "Sister, Hengheng may be hungry. He is just a cat. What else can he show us?"
Chengyue girl also squatted down and looked at the ragdoll Heng seriously: "Hengheng is very well behaved. If there is nothing wrong, he will definitely not be like this."
Gu Chengbei: "..."
Okay, women can't resist furry creatures, he understands.
Lin Shiheng is indeed in trouble.
He rushed towards Gu Chengbei like a tiger descending from a mountain. Before Gu Chengbei could react, his coat had been taken off by a ragdoll cat that was getting fatter and fatter.
Until Lin Shiheng went upstairs with the coat in his mouth, Gu Chengbei, who was left with only a vest, stood there in confusion without reacting.
"It, it..."
He looked at the cat Hengheng, who had disappeared from the stairs, and then at Ji Jiaqi, who looked at the stairs as if thinking of something, "What is it doing?"
In broad daylight, it even snatched clothes.
Ji Jiaqi's body was slightly tense, "Yueyue, go and close the door."
"Okay."
Cheng Yue was always obedient to her sister's words. She turned around and closed the door. As soon as she closed the door, her ears suddenly moved, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she quickly drew the two swords on her waist. The swords were stained with lightning, and she stood in front of Ji Jiaqi in a protective posture, staring at the direction of the stairs with a tense body.
"Someone's footsteps!"
Gu Chengbei didn't hear the footsteps, but he quickly stood in front of Ji Jiaqi with Cheng Yue, and looked vigilantly in the direction Cheng Yue was looking at.
"Da Da Da——"
The cheerful sound of slippers hitting the ground sounded, and then, under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, a young man emerged from the stairwell.
He was wearing Gu Chengbei's coat, with a pair of smart and beautiful eyes, stepping on Ji Jiaqi's pink slippers, and seemed to have a cat earmuff on his head, and ran downstairs with a clatter.
Gu Chengbei began to secretly summon his own machine, while standing up with a self-identification of "I am the only man in this family", deliberately lowering his voice to appear majestic: "Who are you!"
However, the boy ignored him, easily and smoothly bypassed the two blockers, and took Ji Jiaqi's arm, his eyes shining.
"You pay for me, I won't lie to you."
Ji Jiaqi looked at his childlike eyes, knowing that he had heard the conversation between him and Gu Chengbei before, and softened her heart. She couldn't help but smile and reached out to touch Lin Shiheng's head.
"Hengheng, why did you become a human again?"
Gu Chengbei was shocked: "Hengheng?!!"
Ji Jiaqi didn't notice him, and this time she gently touched Lin Shiheng's ears: "The ears are still there, but the tail is gone?"
Gu Chengbei was confused: "Ears, ears, tail?"
Cheng Yue, who was standing aside, was not surprised for long. Before she died in her previous life, she had also heard that there were beasts that turned into humans, but they were not completely transformed, either with a human upper body and a beast lower body, or a human on the left and a beast on the right, anyway, they didn't look very good.
After sniffing and finding it was indeed Hengheng's scent, she relaxed her tense body and walked forward to touch Lin Shiheng's arm, "Hengheng, you look so good when you become a human."
Gu Chengbei, who was standing by, looked at the big and small boy smiling at the cat-eared boy as usual: "???"
What's going on? Did he fast-forward the plot? ?
