So, the survivors began to fend for themselves. The male lead intentionally left Jianyi behind, while Jianyi comforted the female lead. The female lead insisted on bringing her good friend along, and for the first time since their ambiguous relationship began, there was a conflict between the male and female leads.
In any case, after various misunderstandings and conflicts, Jianyi and the female lead parted ways.
Returning to the plot, Jianyi was surprised to find that Chen Junsheng was completely absent. But does he really not exist?
No, he doesn't! Except for the time in school, he had been by her side after leaving school. It's just that she had been focused on Mo Xiaoxiao and Huo Chengzhang, thinking that she could rely on them for protection and didn't pay attention to Chen Junsheng beside her.
However, the truth was that after separating from the female lead's group, she was able to safely reach the Hope Base because of Chen Junsheng's protection. It was at that time she noticed that this unassuming little brother was actually not weaker than Huo Chengzhang and might even be stronger. Because he had awakened his spatial abilities long before the apocalypse.
His ability was completely different from Mo Xiaoxiao's storage space. It didn't have storage capabilities but could teleport, control space, create spatial black holes, and more. During the dark times when Jianyi was abandoned by the main group, Chen Junsheng was like an extraordinary existence.
However, when she reunited with Mo Xiaoxiao and others at the Hope Base, during an outing, she pushed her little brother out to block the zombie horde for her own safety, and then she ran away.
After that, she never heard from Chen Junsheng again. It seemed like he might have died. Anyway, after pushing Chen Junsheng away, less than a year later, Mo Xiaoxiao, who was already the girlfriend of the base leader, discovered that she had killed her own father. They fell out, and she was expelled from the Hope Base.
In the following two years, Jianyi lived a chaotic life, taking care of her loyal lackeys and carving out a territory. Her life was okay, but her mental state grew increasingly depressed. At that time, Jianyi didn't know why she, who had always enjoyed the beauty of life, would live through these two years in such a daze.
Now, looking at it from a god's perspective, it was simply because her presence wasn't needed in the plot during those two years, so she wandered aimlessly.
Her last memory was encountering Mo Xiaoxiao and being killed by her. She knew nothing about the fates of Mo Xiaoxiao or Huo Chengzhang after that. Whether Chen Junsheng was alive or not, she had no way of knowing.
But these events were enough for her to survive in the early chaos of this world.
In this second life, Jianyi had no extreme thoughts. She didn't want to rush to the school to kill the female lead, didn't want to claim the male lead, and didn't want to dominate the world. All she wanted now was to be the protagonist of her own life. She wasn't interested in whitewashing her image as a malicious supporting female character. She just wanted to live according to her own will, live wonderfully, and live beautifully.
...
Buzz, buzz, buzz~
Her phone in her pocket vibrated intensely, pulling Jianyi back from her memories of the plot. She took out her phone and was somewhat surprised to see that it was a voice call from Mo Xiaoxiao.
But considering their close relationship now, it seemed normal.
After a moment's thought, she answered the call.
"Yiyi, where are you? Why didn't you come to the evening self-study session? Is something wrong?"
Listening to Mo Xiaoxiao's worried inquiries on the phone, Jianyi couldn't help but curl her lips in a mocking smile. When she had killed her, there was no hesitation on Mo Xiaoxiao's part. Or was it because without her to set off her gentleness and innocence, Mo Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable?
Jianyi could see through the little thoughts of girls. She knew that without her, Mo Xiaoxiao could easily find other replacements.
But after some thought, she still replied, "I'm fine," and then hung up the phone. After all, they were still good sisters. How could she let her sister worry?
With silence in her ears, Jianyi tossed her phone onto the bed and rolled around in the comfortable and cozy space, feeling like she was in a dream.
Seven years after the apocalypse, she was finally smelling such fresh air, without the smell of blood, the stench of corpses, or the nauseating smell of decaying human hearts. This world was still beautiful.
Unfortunately, there were only three days left.
Jianyi hugged the soft, white pillow, took a light sniff of the pleasant scent, and frowned slightly. Her gaze fell on the phone that was placed nearby.
After a pause, she picked up her phone, opened her contacts, and dialed Chen Junsheng's number.
The call was answered almost immediately, as if he had been waiting for her call for a long time. A hint of surprise crept onto Jianyi's lips.
"Chen Junsheng, I'm at the Golden Crown Hotel, room number 555."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, got up, removed her school uniform, and walked into the bathroom. She turned on the shower, feeling the clean and warm water flow over her body...
With slightly damp hair hanging down her snowy back, her trembling eyelashes carried a misty haze, and her lips were moistened by the steam, making them appear luscious and tempting.
She looked like a rosebud waiting to bloom, wrapped in a loose bathrobe, leaning lazily against the wall, playfully gazing at the person in front of her.
When Chen Junsheng knocked on the door and was faced with this scene, his heart skipped a beat for a moment and then raced faster than ever before... Thump, thump, thump!
Could she hear this rapid heartbeat of his?
"What are you looking at? Come in," she knowingly asked, her face showing a curious expression.
The young man's gaze flickered, and his eyelashes quickly drooped. His ears turned red in an instant.
He quietly exhaled a breath, barely suppressing the dizzying sensation.
He had thought the torment had ended, but suddenly, he saw her stepping on the crimson carpet in front of him. His breath caught!
The hand on the strap of his backpack tightened, and he almost used up all his reason to move his gaze from her to the unattractive carpet next to her.
He could hear the rustling sound of the carpet being stepped on, and he couldn't help but hold his breath, his eyes fixed on the captivating rustling sound. He couldn't help but think, how could this ugly carpet be fortunate enough to be stepped on by her?
Chen Junsheng entered the room, closed the door, and a look of hostility flashed in his eyes. He really wanted to throw away the room key, lock his sister in here forever, and let her stay with him forever!
His hand paused as he closed the door. He couldn't believe he had such a terrifying thought.
But... was it really that terrifying? The young man tilted his head slightly, seriously pondering the question.
"Chen Junsheng, why are you standing there?" With a somewhat impatient "Chen Junsheng," her fierce demeanor instantly suppressed the beastly instincts in him. Chen Junsheng lowered his head and walked in, but he couldn't help following her shadow on the ground with his gaze.
The luxurious decoration and furnishings in the room made the young man, who had never been to a hotel before, feel a little awkward.
Jianyi chuckled and pointed to the sofa in the living room area. "Sit there."
"Did you skip class to come here?" Jianyi, who thought the young man would be obediently back in school, went to the cabinet, opened the refrigerator, and picked a drink for herself. Then she turned around and asked him, "What do you want to drink?"
