Salted Fish Zombie

Ch. 111.1.2

(Part 1)

The deformed people downstairs all jumped up.

Some of them had long tails and were overweight, causing the ground to shake as they walked.

Some of them made strange "dodo" sounds with their mouths, sharp and piercing.

They searched all the rooms for Ning Su, except for the room where Ning Su really was.

"Dodo-"

"Mm."

In another burst of "dodo" sounds, Ling Xiao responded to Ning Su.

At first, he sought him out to take his heart.

Later, he followed him to protect his heart.

To protect his heart, he had to protect Ning Su.

But later, at some unknown point, something replaced his brain and confused his thoughts. It mistook Ning Su for the heart and started protecting him as if he were the heart. Over time, the confusion grew, and it began to truly perceive Ning Su as the heart.

Ling Xiao said, "At some moment today, I couldn't help but think."

Ning Su exclaimed, "Then if you hold me tighter, you can be closer to your heart."

The hand on his back tightened a bit more until it was impossible to distinguish which chest the heartbeat was coming from.

Two pale, thin hands lightly rested on the loose white shirt, first on the folds over the shoulder blades, pausing for a few seconds, then slowly pressing down, tightening on the thin layer of back muscles.

The already straight back stiffened and straightened even more.

Ning Su hugged him tighter. "Like this, doesn't it feel like you're holding your heart?"

Ling Xiao didn't respond, gently patting his back.

The anxious heartbeat gradually calmed down.

Ning Su: "I gave you my heart, so you should give me a little red flower."

But Ling Xiao didn't reach out to give him one.

Ning Su: "Why won't you give me one?"

Ling Xiao: "I did."

Lying in his embrace, it was indeed impossible to see. Just as Ning Su was about to lift his head a little, he looked up and saw the little red flower he wanted.

Ling Xiao was wearing a very loose white shirt today, with the top two buttons undone. In the middle of his cool white collarbone, a blood-red four-petaled flower bloomed.

Ning Su was stunned for a moment.

The cool white collarbone was normal; his skin had always been this way, a cool-toned white.

The blood-red four-petaled flower was also normal, with the flower's color resembling thick, fresh blood.

But the combination of the two was not normal.

Leaning against the window light, Ning Su observed the scene before him in the dim light.

He had originally wanted to eat a lingxiao flower. His eyes would glance at it and then look away, and then glance at it again. He seemed hungrier, but didn't know how to start.

After not seeing Ning Su move for a while, Ling Xiao said, "Do you see it? I currently can't move my hand to give it to you."

He lowered his eyes, just in time to see the young man biting the blood flower off his collarbone.
