42: Chapter 42 Someone's Here

Su Yue slept until dark. After slowly waking up, she sat on the bed and stretched, feeling completely refreshed and having slept exceptionally well.

Just then, Gu Yanchen walked in carrying food. Seeing that she was already awake, a doting smile appeared on the corners of his lips: "You're awake, Baby."

Su Yue smelled the enticing aroma of the food and instantly felt famished, as if she could eat a whole cow.

Her stomach also chimed in with a rumbling sound, as if it were staging a protest.

"Oh my, how embarrassing!" Su Yue blushed, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Watching her shy and adorable appearance, Gu Yanchen couldn't help but chuckle: "I knew that Baby would definitely be hungry after waking up, so I specifically brought the food up for you."

"You really understand me best!" Su Yue was deeply touched, and her heart felt warm.

She impatiently picked up the bowl and started eating in large mouthfuls, her cheeks bulging like a little hamster, looking extremely cute.

[Baby is truly too cute, it's practically tempting me to commit a crime!]

This inner voice clearly entered Su Yue's mind, causing her to almost choke on the soup in her mouth.

"Cough, cough..." Su Yue suddenly started coughing, her face turning bright red as she patted her chest while coughing.

"Baby, did you choke?" Gu Yanchen panicked and quickly stepped forward to rub her back.

Su Yue didn't feel as uncomfortable anymore, so she lifted her head and glared at Gu Yanchen with a mix of shyness and annoyance, thinking to herself, why is this guy so indecent?

Gu Yanchen was bewildered by the glare, not knowing where he had offended her. He stood there obediently, looking just like a primary school student standing in the corner for making a mistake.

Seeing this, Su Yue found it somewhat amusing; all her anger vanished, and she continued eating.

After eating her fill, Su Yue contentedly rubbed her bulging stomach and said to Gu Yanchen with a grin: "Look at me now, do I look like a pregnant woman?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanchen's gaze turned dangerous, and he narrowed his eyes at her.

If it weren't for the fact that the world was currently overrun by zombies, he might truly consider making her stomach grow big.

Seeing him staring fixedly at her stomach, Su Yue knew he must have had impure thoughts, so she pursed her lips and cursed in her heart: 'Scoundrel.'

She stood up, picked up the binoculars from the vanity, and walked to the balcony, intending to observe the situation of the zombies outside.

Through the binoculars, Su Yue saw that those same few zombies were still wandering around, and her brows relaxed quite a bit. She guessed that the other zombies might have already run to the city center to bite other people.

Su Yue turned her head to look at Gu Yanchen and asked: "Do you think these zombies can all be wiped out?"

Gu Yanchen was silent for a moment. After serious consideration, he replied: "Judging by the current situation, it is likely very difficult to completely wipe them out."

Su Yue nodded gently, indicating her agreement with Gu Yanchen's words, but immediately shook her head afterward.

If things were truly that simple, humanity would not have been ruled by zombies for so long in her past life.

If simply developing a vaccine could solve the problem, there wouldn't have been a war between humans and zombies.

Everything sounded wonderful and simple, but in reality, it was far from it.

Su Yue knew deeply the complexity and difficulty of it all; she felt this kind of thinking was too idealistic and completely unrealistic.

Gu Yanchen gripped Su Yue's hand tightly and placed it over his heart, saying with a firm gaze: "Baby, don't worry, I will definitely protect you well; I absolutely will not let those zombies hurt you in the slightest!"

His voice was filled with determination and strength, making one feel incomparably at ease.

Su Yue nodded, moved, her heart full of happiness.

She couldn't help but recall the various events of her past life; how blind she had been back then to actually give up such a good man right before her eyes. Now that she had a second chance at life, she would absolutely not make the same mistake again; she had to cherish this hard-won relationship.

Thinking of this, Su Yue's nose couldn't help but ache, and tears almost spilled from her eyes.

She secretly told herself that she must cherish the person before her, love him well, and not let the regrets of the past repeat themselves.

Suddenly, a mobile phone ringtone sounded in the bedroom, breaking this rare, wonderful time and interrupting the warm atmosphere between the two.

Su Yue suddenly pushed Gu Yanchen away, her face as red as a ripe apple. She felt her face almost burning up, so she hurriedly turned around and left the balcony as if fleeing.

Gu Yanchen looked displeased, muttering to himself that every time he wanted to do something naughty, he would be interrupted; even a god would lose their temper!

Su Yue quickly ran to the bedroom to pick up the phone, and the anxious voice of Uncle Butler immediately came from the other end: "Miss, it's bad, someone has come over here."

Hearing this news, Su Yue's expression instantly turned serious, and she asked in a calm tone: "Uncle Butler, please don't be anxious. Continue watching the surveillance to see what the situation is; I will go to the balcony now to observe the situation outside."

After speaking, she hung up the phone and walked quickly toward the balcony.

Seeing her solemn expression, Gu Yanchen was curious about who the call was from.
