You Rong's words made Lin Qinghe pause.
Wait a minute?!
Could You Rong have fallen for her?
The thought made Lin Qinghe's heart inexplicably quicken.
She swallowed, gently pushing You Rong, who was nestled in her neck, away. Looking into his eyes, she asked, "You Rong... are you starting to like me a little?"
You Rong's eyes were distant, "...Like?" You Rong pondered for a long time, then shook his head, "I don't know. I've never liked anyone. What does it feel like to like someone?"
Does it feel like this restlessness he felt now? This restlessness that made him want to bite?
Uh... this...
Lin Qinghe didn't know how to explain it to You Rong. But here was a golden opportunity to increase the progress bar. Lin Qinghe gritted her teeth, wrapped her arms around You Rong's neck, pulled him closer, and then kissed him.
It wasn't so much a kiss as their lips touching, then remaining still.
You Rong's pupils constricted, his heart rate gradually increased. He didn't move either, lowering his gaze, his eyes fixed on Lin Qinghe's face, watching her cheeks flush slightly, watching her delicate eyelashes flutter...
After a while, Lin Qinghe pulled away from You Rong's lips, her cheeks flushed, and said, "Liking someone means you can't help but want to be close to them... Do you understand now?"
Will he be unable to control his desire to be close to her?
Lin Qinghe couldn't handle You Rong's gaze and looked away, "You... do you like me a little or not? Say something. Why are you looking at me, I..."
Before she could finish, Lin Qinghe's chin was cupped, her face was turned back, and in the next second, You Rong's mouth was on hers.
You Rong's pupils were blood-red. Unlike the fleeting kiss just now, he urgently pried open her lips and tongue, conquering, dominantly seizing every bit of air in her mouth, a kiss that seemed to devour her completely.
The restlessness and thirst in You Rong's heart were miraculously satisfied the moment he kissed Lin Qinghe.
You Rong, his mind wandering, thought: Is this what it feels like to like someone?
If it's true, he might really have fallen for Lin Qinghe.
As Lin Qinghe was dazed by the kiss, she heard the system's prompt: "Progress bar increased by ten percent, total progress bar is forty-two percent."
After an unknown amount of time, they separated, breathing heavily. Lin Qinghe forced herself to calm down and asked, "Can you... confirm now if you like me?"
You Rong stared at Lin Qinghe's moist red lips, his throat tightening. "I don't know. Let's try again..."
"Let's try again... Mmmph..." Before Lin Qinghe could finish, she was again silenced by a fierce kiss.
You Rong's eyes never left Lin Qinghe beneath him. For some reason, kissing him made him feel more satisfied than eating, it made his restlessness disappear, and even... brought him great pleasure. Sudan Fiction Network.
When they separated again, Lin Qinghe was dizzy from the kiss, but once again heard the system's prompt: "Progress bar increased by five percent, total progress bar is forty-seven percent."
The progress bar had increased twice in a row?!
This had never happened before!
Lin Qinghe looked up and met You Rong's eyes. Seeing his slightly furrowed brow, she swallowed and tentatively asked, "Do you... want to try again?"
If each kiss added to the progress bar, she could spend the entire night devouring You Rong!
Unfortunately, You Rong's brow furrowed even tighter. He suddenly pulled the quilt over and wrapped Lin Qinghe tightly in it, then held her in his arms. You Rong said in a low voice, "We'll continue trying another day. Let's skip it today..."
When he first kissed Lin Qinghe, he felt very satisfied, but gradually... a strange sense of dissatisfaction arose within him, something was building up with nowhere to vent.
He was afraid that if he continued kissing her, he might really lose control and bite her.
"Huh?" Lin Qinghe was bewildered. Why did they stop trying when things were going so well?
And do you like me or not? You kissed me, so say it!
But catching a glimpse of You Rong closing his eyes, Lin Qinghe sighed inwardly.
Forget it, the progress bar increased, so it wasn't a wasted kiss. Haste makes waste, she could ask again tomorrow.
Lin Qinghe comforted herself and closed her eyes to sleep.
Lin Qinghe never imagined that You Rong, in the apocalypse, was completely clueless about romance, had never been in love, and understood nothing of intimacy.
The night passed quietly.
As dawn broke, Lin Qinghe woke up and saw You Rong frowning. She immediately became nervous and anxiously asked, "Why are you frowning? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No... my eyes are uncomfortable," You Rong said, pointing to his eyes, which were still wearing colored contact lenses.
Lin Qinghe suddenly understood.
Right, these cheap daily disposable colored lenses from the supermarket must be uncomfortable to wear for so long.
Lin Qinghe said, "Miss Jiang and the others already know you've had the injection, so there's no need to deliberately hide it from them. Come here... I'll help you take off the colored lenses. From now on, when there are no strangers around, we won't wear them."
You Rong obediently lowered his head, letting Lin Qinghe remove the colored lenses and carefully examine his eyes.
After the examination, Lin Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine. Your eyes are just a little dry from wearing the colored lenses for too long. It's a shame we don't have eye drops, otherwise a drop would feel much better..."
Lin Qinghe looked up after speaking and saw You Rong staring at her. She paused, then suddenly remembered last night. Acting on impulse, she blurted out, "Do you... want to try now?"
You Rong's eyes deepened, his Adam's apple bobbed, as if he had suddenly become hungry.
His voice was low, "Okay, let's try!"
You Rong lowered his head, about to approach Lin Qinghe's soft lips, when Jiang Xun's voice came from outside, "Uh... Brother! Sister! Are you up? Things are bad outside. There are twice as many zombies gathered outside as there were yesterday morning. Come out quickly and see!"
You Rong stopped, just centimeters from Lin Qinghe's lips. Lin Qinghe cursed inwardly and reluctantly pushed You Rong away first, saying, "Let's go out and see!"
Pushed away, You Rong felt a strange sensation, as if he had lost something. He was unhappy, very unhappy.
You Rong showed no outward emotion, his expression remaining calmly "Mm," as he followed Lin Qinghe out of the tent.
Emerging from the warehouse, they saw a dense mass of zombies outside the electric fence. Lin Qinghe's heart sank.
So many zombies had gathered by the fence. If they weren't in the warehouse during the day, the zombies would disperse. It was clear these zombies were all coming for You Rong.
Fortunately, they had the electric fence. Otherwise, with so many zombies, they would have a real headache.
Jiang Xun saw You Rong's red eyes. Although he knew You Rong wouldn't attack people, he was still a little scared and unconsciously moved closer to Lin Qinghe.
As Jiang Xun was almost sticking to Lin Qinghe, Lin Qinghe pushed him away with disdain, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xun said sheepishly, "I'm a little scared... Oh, right! With so many zombies, are we still going out later?"
