Chapter 35: It feels like Mushroom Life has reached its peak.
Not taking medicine won't get better, and taking medicine randomly might cause problems. Under Pei Sinian's watchful gaze, Meng Xiaoyou handed him the medicine box with trembling hands.
The man lifted his eyelids slightly, then his gaze froze.
The air suddenly fell silent. He didn't have much of an expression to begin with, but Meng Xiaoyou still noticed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
After all, they had taken care of her for so long. Meng Xiaoyou coughed lightly, and with some effort, took out a box of medicine from her spatial bubble, saying in a hoarse voice, "I have some here."
It was the last time we went to the hospital, Xiao Moqiong insisted on giving it to her.
Meng Xiaoyou stared at the medicine box, but didn't quite understand the dosage instructions, so she went over to ask Pei Sinian for help.
In an effort to save face, Mr. Zombie nodded stiffly, took out two pills, handed them to her, and gave her some warm water to help her recover.
"Wow, that's amazing! You can even understand this." Meng Xiaoyou praised, instantly boosting her emotional appeal, then raised her hand to put the medicine in her mouth and obediently drank water.
Mr. Zombie was satisfied. After she finished drinking, he took away the water glass and awkwardly covered her with the blanket.
Something about him seems different.
Meng Xiaoyou felt that he was acting strangely today, but she didn't have the energy to think too much. She slumped back into the quilt, tugged at the man's clothes, and closed her eyes again.
When you're sick, you're at your most vulnerable. The timid mushroom, who doesn't usually like sunlight, is actually doing alright now with the bright sunshine streaming into the room and a warm hot water bottle under the covers.
It would be nice if there was something else on my head to touch.
With her eyes closed, she instinctively pulled out something cool and placed it on her forehead, letting out a sigh of relief.
I feel like Mushroom Life has reached its peak.
Pei Sinian, forced to rent out one of his hands: "..."
She seems to have forgotten how timid and cowering she used to be, and now she dares to use someone else's hand without asking.
The little girl sank into the blankets, revealing her delicate face. Perhaps her fever hadn't completely subsided, as her face was rosy. Her curled eyelashes were closed, and her pretty nose occasionally sniffled. She looked as docile as a little animal, which was quite endearing.
Zombies have no hearts, so it's indescribable what it feels like.
He thought, if only time could stand still at this moment.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs... His eyes darkened, and his clumsy hands touched her hair, tucked her in, and sat there until the sun began to set before going downstairs to prepare dinner and feed... the troublesome human.
From now on, she will no longer be a reserve food.
-
Meng Xiaoyou's illness came on quickly but went away slowly. Not counting the incubation period, it took her three whole days to recover. She's back to being a lively, healthy mushroom with arms and legs again.
Through this experience, the timid mushroom discovered that some humans are cold on the outside but warm on the inside, clumsy in their hands but meticulous in their hearts.
Although Pei Sinian's heart was not beating, he took great care of the mushrooms during his illness, including the small white mushrooms of the timid mushroom family, watering them every day.
Pei Sinian even went outside to find some dry leaves to cover the bottom of the mushrooms, trying to help them absorb nutrients.
In just a few days, a row of mushrooms grew to look like small white steamed buns, which was very pleasing to the eye. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't turn back to her original form, Meng Xiaoyou would definitely turn back, stick her white stem in, and stick together with the mushrooms.
Moreover, the zombies had stopped surrounding the library these past few days, which made Meng Xiaoyou extremely happy. Like a wild mushroom released from its reins, she excitedly cleaned the library with Pei Sinian and packed her bags to prepare for their escape.
The cowardly mushroom thought that even if today's zombie horde was gone, there was no guarantee that other zombie hordes wouldn't appear in the future.
In front of Pei Sinian, she had already let go and even became quite dependent on him, clinging to his arm and babbling, "It's better to be safe than sorry. We can't take any chances. We were lucky this time that the zombies left, but if we're surrounded by a horde of zombies next time, neither of us will survive."
The two brothers nudged the man with their elbows, while Pei Sinian was diligently making breakfast.
This time, he not only knew how to cook instant noodles, but also learned how to cook porridge while Meng Xiaoyou was lying on the bed. He would ladle the white porridge into a bowl and occasionally glance at the bold human out of the corner of his eye.
He's forgotten the pain once the wound heals. Last time he hit her twice, she was such a coward. She never learns her lesson and seems to want to cling to him.
Pei Sinian didn't say anything, but silently added half a spoonful of sugar.
"Oh dear, put in more!" Meng Xiaoyou protested immediately upon seeing this.
Why is this person like this? There's so much sugar, what's wrong with giving her more?
Stingy.
She tried to extend her mushroom-shaped claws to help herself, but the man flicked her hand with his finger.
Meng Xiaoyou immediately put on a pitiful act with her eyes welling up with tears.
Unfortunately, Pei Sinian wasn't buying it. Just like when he swallowed ten Fahais, he ignored the cowardly mushroom's pleas, calmly placed the porridge on the table, grabbed her by the back of the neck, lifted her onto a chair, and gestured for her to eat breakfast.
"..." Meng Xiaoyou looked unhappy, but because the man's expression was so bad, she tightened her head and lowered her head to eat. Halfway through her meal, she couldn't help but steal a glance, "Why aren't you eating?"
Pei Sinian shook his head, indicating that he was not hungry.
Meng Xiaoyou, who was at level ten in corpse language, could roughly understand it, and pushed the bowl away with some disapproval.
"No, no, you're not feeling well. Don't skip meals. I'll eat a couple of bites and you can finish the rest."
Actually, the rice porridge wasn't very flavorful, and the sugar wasn't sweet enough, so the timid mushroom wasn't very willing to eat it.
Pei Sinian immediately knew what was going on, pushed it back, and attached a note.
"You're not leaving until you eat."
"You agree?" Meng Xiaoyou's clear black and white eyes lit up, as if they were adorned with tiny sparkles of light.
You should know that Pei Sinian was never very enthusiastic whenever she wanted to leave the library, and would sometimes grumble and sulk.
He was mute, but Meng Xiaoyou was still very sensitive to changes in a person's emotions. Even if he didn't say anything, Meng Xiaoyou could still sense it.
But she still had to leave.
Like this zombie horde, if they were in the plant kingdom, they would have cooperated to resist long ago. Plants are numerous and powerful, so there would be no situation where they would be surrounded by zombies.
This applies to plants, and it applies to humans as well.
Admittedly, Lu Qiang and Liang Mengjiao gave the cowardly mushroom a bad experience last time, but Xiao Moqiong was also involved!
Lu Qiang is wicked, Xiao Moqiong is good!
It's not like all humans are bad. The timid mushroom is simple-minded but won't condemn everyone.
Human bases have always been her obsession.
She wants to survive in the apocalypse and also wants to become a little stronger.
Spending all her time in the library, Meng Xiaoyou had the illusion that she was just sitting around waiting to die.
Of course, it was all Meng Xiaoyou's own idea, but she still had to consider her friends' opinions.
After finishing breakfast, she smiled, her eyes full of anticipation. "When are we leaving? Besides daily necessities, what else do we need to prepare? We need to stock up on some food. I heard that Moonlight Base requires protection fees... Ouch! Why did you hit me?"
Meng Xiaoyou covered her forehead, complaining pitifully, "If you hit me again, I'll make a scene."
Pei Sinian held the note with two fingers and pushed it from the table in front of her. Meng Xiaoyou rubbed her head and looked down at it.
"Three chapters of agreement?"
what?
