Mr. Zombie lingers in the city

Chapter 39 I Belong to Cao Cao

At 2 p.m., Hu Xiaoyu stood in front of the apartment building with a speechless expression.

Gu Xixia, wearing a gray sun-protective suit and matching sun-protective pants, and a baseball cap, was directing the movers to move goods.

"I don't understand."

"If you don't understand, then don't speak."

Without turning her head, Gu Xixia retorted and continued to watch the movers carrying furniture.

"If auspicious days were truly effective, wouldn't people who frequently move be rich by now?"

In response, Gu Xixia turned to Hu Xiaoyu and spoke solemnly.

"Your existence strengthens my belief in the traditions of our ancestors."

"..."

There's nothing more to say. To deny the methods of our ancestors, we must deny ourselves from the root.

And I can't deny it myself...

"Hey, where's my equipment? Why are you just moving my clothes? The equipment is the important thing."

Gu Xixia pursed her lips and glanced at him, then spoke helplessly.

"I bought you a new place, but you still need to leave some things here. Sometimes you're too lazy to go anywhere else, so you can stay here."

"Okay, you have a point."

As they drove behind the moving company toward their new home, Gu Xixia suddenly spoke.

"Are ultraviolet rays really useless to you?"

"It's no use. It's vampires that are afraid of ultraviolet rays, not zombies."

"But in the movies, even zombies don't dare to come out during the day."

"It's not that it's afraid of sunlight, it's afraid of people."

"Afraid of people?"

While Gu Xixia was still wondering, Hu Xiaoyu in the passenger seat refreshed the next video.

"Do you really think zombies are some kind of invincible force?"

"If they were truly invincible, do you think those noble families would just start training zombies as their army?"

"What do you mean?"

"Many ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that ordinary zombies are just more durable. Swords and knives are no good, but crossbow bolts can still pierce them."

"If that doesn't work, I'll just sprinkle some kindling on you and set you on fire right here."

"You think 'on-site harmless disposal' is a joke?"

Gu Xixia was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and the corners of her lips on her cool and charming face curled up slightly.

"It seems the zombies don't have a good living environment either."

"That's very bad. You're treating zombies as a new species, but if a new species doesn't appear in the world in broad daylight, it means that this species definitely has a fatal flaw."

My novel has already been published.

"See? Your butt's saved."

"Ha, go ahead and really hit me if you dare."

He frowned and gave Gu Xixia a disdainful look; the little brat was getting more and more stubborn.

Upon arriving at her new home, Gu Xixia directed the movers to place the boxes in their designated locations.

Shoes and similar items were simply placed on the spot by the movers.

But when it comes to clothes, Gu Xixia would never allow anyone other than Hu Xiaoyu to touch them, especially her underwear!

Hu Xiaoyu, who was forcibly dragged here to help Gu Xixia's bedroom, was quite helpless.

"What girl would let a man hang up her clothes for her..."

"Are you an outsider?"

"Is this a matter of whether we're outsiders or not?"

"What's the relationship?"

This is a matter of physiological differences between men and women!

Hu Xiaoyu had intended to say that, but after thinking about it, he realized it wasn't necessary.

After all, this shows that the girl really doesn't consider herself an outsider.

What he didn't know was that Gu Xixia had never treated him like an outsider since high school, and had even been trying to subtly make him become one with her.

"Hang up your own underwear."

"knew..."

After hanging up Gu Xixia's clothes, the two started hanging up Hu Xiaoyu's.

Looking at her new home, which was decorated in an antique style and had wooden floors, Gu Xixia went to Hu Xiaoyu's room and pulled him out.

"what..."

"Pick up the package."

"express delivery?"

"Yes, I ordered a lot of packages online, and they've all been left at the storage point."

When did you buy it?

"Five days before choosing an auspicious day according to the Chinese calendar."

"...What are all these things?"

"Indoor plants, wall decorations, slippers, towels, toiletries, and many other things."

"Are you using me as a laborer?"

"Can I lift it?"

The obvious question silenced Hu Xiaoyu.

Upon arriving at the courier station, the two borrowed a trailer and, to the owner's amazed look, transported a load of packages home.

It was right at the end of the school day, and the students on the street stared at the two of them, especially Gu Xixia, whose eyes were wide open.

"Sister, how tall are you?"

"1.93 meters tall."

Gu Xixia smiled and answered the little girl who was holding an ice pop and asking her a question, then looked down at Hu Xiaoyu beside her.

"I want to eat ice cream."

"Go buy it yourself, can't you see I'm dragging a package?"

"Other parents know to buy these for their kids..."

"Ha, you treat me like a parent when you need me, but when you don't, you treat me with disdain. Do you think I'm cheap?"

"Go ahead~"

Hu Xiaoyu glanced at Gu Xixia, who was half-squatting down, sticking her butt out and shaking her arms, and shook his head helplessly.

"Too much to do..."

I went to the convenience store and bought her a bag of popsicles, then pulled one out and handed it to her.

"Why buy so much?"

"Aren't you going to eat when you get home?"

He retorted irritably, and the two walked towards their new home as the sun set.

A cool breeze carried dragonflies past Gu Xixia's ear. Gu Xixia deliberately lagged behind Hu Xiaoyu by half a step, like a child stepping on his shadow.

It's not just boys who act childish in front of people they like; girls do too.

It's simply a matter of how much you like something, versus liking it to the core.

Back home, Hu Xiaoyu checked the duck cages and began contacting suppliers to buy ducklings.

After dinner, as night fell in the courtyard, the river in front of the gate reflected the orange sunset, and the sky was a cool blue.

Wearing denim shorts and a white short-sleeved shirt, Gu Xixia lay on a recliner, her long legs fair and shapely.

Hu Xiaoyu sat to the side, idly rubbing the glass to act as a human mosquito repellent for her.

"Oh right, I remember you said you were going to pee in the back hill."

"Do you need to remind me? I already went there and spilled some around."

When will the ducks arrive?

"It should be in five days."

"Okay, I'll have the fodder supplier schedule it accordingly."

"Actually, there's no need to go to trouble. I see the back hill is full of weeds, I'll take care of it later."

"You've even cut pig feed before?"

"Out of desperation, and to avoid being hunted down, I worked as a laborer for a landlord for a period of time."

Seeing the distorted expression on Hu Xiaoyu's face when he mentioned that memory, Gu Xixia asked curiously.

"Has something bad happened?"

Hu Xiaoyu's facial features contorted in pain, then he sighed helplessly.

"Let's get to the result first: I broke the landlord's leg."

"Huh? Why?"

Looking at Gu Xixia's slightly excited, narrow eyes behind her glasses, Hu Xiaoyu sighed.

"Because he drugged me and made me sleep with his three daughters!"

"what?"

Hu Xiaoyu clutched his forehead in pain.

Seeing his expression, Gu Xixia knew he definitely didn't agree, so she smiled and spoke with relief.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"What a load of rubbish! The eldest of her three daughters is only fourteen!"

"Wasn't that normal in ancient times?"

"I belong to Cao Cao."

Gu Xixia blinked upon hearing this, then looked down at her own figure.

That should be a good fit.
