Chapter 210: Boyfriend’s Role
“Let’s go.” Xia Chenge was still staring blankly at her mobile phone. Ling Hanmu walked over, slinging his schoolbag over his shoulder, and snatched her phone. “It’s not work time, don’t focus on things other than studying.”
Xia Chenge looked at him with amusement, “Then why did you look at it?”
“I’m different, I don’t like studying,” Ling Hanmu said with a smile.
Xia Chenge rolled her eyes at him and linked her arm through his as they walked out.
As they walked, they received admiring glances from all directions.
Passing by the bulletin board, Xia Chenge caught sight of the notice for the Student Union’s election. She stopped and read it carefully.
“What, are you interested in the Student Union?” Ling Hanmu followed her gaze.
Xia Chenge shook her head. With no clues from the laboratory currently, she had no mood to participate in such things.
“I was just thinking, why don’t we run for the Student Union?” Ling Hanmu said with a hint of regret.
Xia Chenge raised an eyebrow, “Are you very idle?”
“I’m not idle, but as long as it’s something you want to do, Little Brother, I’ll have time to accompany you,” Ling Hanmu said, his eyes curved like crescent moons, sparkling like stars, bright and captivating.
Xia Chenge’s heart stirred, then she sighed, “As long as Grub is alive in this world, I won’t be able to rest easy for a single day.”
“He won’t get away with it forever,” Ling Hanmu said seriously. “As long as he makes a move, we’ll find him.”
“I hope so,” Xia Chenge was not so optimistic.
Because up to now, they couldn’t even find Grub’s lair. To be honest, she was very worried.
“Little Brother, don’t frown,” Ling Hanmu suddenly reached out and gently stroked her brow. “When you frown, it breaks my heart.”
Xia Chenge was stunned for a moment, then smiled and agreed, “Okay.”
Xia Chenge didn’t know what her future would hold. She only knew that as long as she existed in this world, she wanted to make Ling Hanmu happier.
The humans in the apocalypse were pitiful, but Ling Hanmu, as the Zombie King, was even more pitiful.
Because everything was forced upon him; it wasn’t what he wanted, nor was it something he could choose.
When his spiritual intelligence fully returned, seeing the extinction of the human race, no one felt more regret or pain than him.
“Seeing how diligently you’ve been studying lately, I’m going to reward you today,” Ling Hanmu pulled Xia Chenge towards the school gate. “What do you want to eat? My treat!”
Xia Chenge’s thoughts immediately returned to food. She hadn’t gone out for a proper stroll with Ling Hanmu in a long time.
“I haven’t been to Haicheng’s snack street yet. I heard the snacks there are very famous,” Xia Chenge tilted her head up to look at him.
“Okay, then let’s go to snack street,” Ling Hanmu agreed without hesitation.
“Aren’t you bothered by it?” Xia Chenge was a little surprised.
After all, someone of Ling Hanmu’s status would probably never go to such places in his life.
“I like whatever you like,” Ling Hanmu said earnestly.
Xia Chenge was touched.
It was hard to believe, but Ling Hanmu was so down-to-earth.
The longer she knew him, the more she realized how different he was from his legendary image.
He wasn’t the arrogant, overbearing young master at all; he was clearly a sunny, good-hearted young man.
Ling Hanmu, under the guise of experiencing life, refused to drive to snack street and instead pulled Xia Chenge onto the subway.
When they arrived at snack street, it was incredibly crowded.
Looking at the throng of people, Ling Hanmu’s eyes widened, “Why are there so many people?”
“This is what life is like!” Xia Chenge playfully pulled him and squeezed into the crowd.
Having experienced the apocalypse, any scene of peace and prosperity was incredibly beautiful to Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge led Ling Hanmu from one stall to another.
However, perhaps because she had been in a peaceful era for too long, Xia Chenge didn’t have the same gluttonous spirit as when she was first reborn. After trying about half of the snacks, she was too full to eat anymore.
She patted her stomach, “So useless, I deserve to go hungry.”
Ling Hanmu chuckled at her words, “It’s just adapting to life.”
“There are still so many delicious things,” Xia Chenge said regretfully, looking at the endless snack street.
“If you like it, we’ll come back here again. We’ll eventually be able to eat our way through it all.”
“There are just too many snacks in Haicheng.”
“Of course, our Haicheng is famous nationwide as a city of foodies.”
“It seems I’m quite good at choosing.”
“Don’t you know you have excellent taste?”
“What makes you say that?”
“Look at you choosing such a boyfriend as me, isn’t that proof enough?”
“Where’s your face?” Xia Chenge said exasperatedly, “You’re praising yourself indirectly.”
“I need to boost my confidence in front of you,” Ling Hanmu put his arm around her shoulder.
“Huh? What are they doing up ahead? So many people are gathered,” Xia Chenge suddenly noticed a crowd gathered in the middle of the road. She pulled Ling Hanmu and hurried forward, standing on tiptoe to see inside.
However, her height wasn’t enough, no matter how much she stretched.
Just then, her feet felt light as she lifted off the ground, and her view widened.
She looked down to see that Ling Hanmu, who was 185 cm tall, had directly picked her up.
Ling Hanmu looked up at her and smiled, “At times like this, you should let your boyfriend play his role.”
“Wow…” A collective gasp went through the crowd, and all eyes turned to the couple.
“I want that too!”
“Look at other people’s boyfriends.”
“Sob sob sob, so happy.”
……
While the girls around Xia Chenge were envious, they looked at their own boyfriends with resentment.
Those boyfriends were enraged and glared at Ling Hanmu: “Brother, don’t show off in public, you’re pushing me to my death! Your girlfriend’s weight is one thing, but my girlfriend is a whole ton!”
Ling Hanmu remained unperturbed and maliciously fanned the flames, “As a boyfriend, you should always act as a mode of transport, a stepping stone, an ATM, and a porter!”
Upon hearing this, the girls with boyfriends once again looked at their boyfriends with longing.
The men who were not single dogs wept tears of blood. Brother, you’re not just pushing us to our death, you’re annihilating us completely…
And so, within a radius of several meters centered on Xia Chenge and Ling Hanmu, scenes of boyfriends picking up their girlfriends to watch the commotion began to appear.
Unlike Ling Hanmu’s calm demeanor, many of them gritted their teeth and their faces turned red. Their girlfriends were pampered into being overweight by them, and they had to carry them even if it killed them…
Many single dogs among the onlookers were brutally fed dog food and uploaded videos to Weibo, denouncing their inhumane treatment of animals.
Then, Xia Chenge and Ling Hanmu, with their outstanding and eye-catching appearances, were immediately recognized by netizens:
“Holy crap, this dog-abusing CP thinks the internet isn’t stimulating enough and came to snack street to abuse dogs? What to do, I love to see it, hahaha!”
“Finally, it’s not us fat otaku eating dog food. May I ask the audience present, do we need to scoop the dog food with a spoon?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, Young Master Ling’s way of doting on his girlfriend is probably going to get him stabbed by many men.”
“Look, other people’s boyfriends never disappoint me. I’m eating this dog food with tears in my eyes, even though I came to the street myself, hahaha.”
