Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 103

Chapter 103

“Your younger sister, is her name Xia Qingxue?”

To be precise, it was Xia Weishuang’s cousin, Xia Qingxue. Two months ago, she had gone to the B City survivor base with her family. She was three years younger than Xia Weishuang and had a precious spatial ability.

When she first heard this name, Xia Weishuang was subconsciously scared for a moment. But she quickly realized that if something had happened to Qingxue, Zheng Boqiang would not have been so calm as to use her as a bargaining chip.

“Yes. You know her? The base already knows about her esper identity?” Xia Weishuang asked back.

“Of course. A rare spatial esper is very useful,” Zheng Boqiang said. “Not only do I know her, but basically all the espers in the base know her, and of course, that includes Gu Minzhi.”

Whether Little Xue chose to join the base as an esper or to hide and live a low-key life, Xia Weishuang would support her. Not being in that environment, it was difficult to decide for the other person which path was the best.

Seeing that Xia Weishuang was still calm and composed, Zheng Boqiang couldn’t help but smile. “Aren’t you worried about her?”

Xia Weishuang said, “I’m worried, but not to the point of treating her like a three-year-old child. Besides, with her ability, she will definitely be cherished as long as it’s not a dime a dozen. If I’m not mistaken, there must be a lot of people protecting her.”

Even if Gu Minzhi hated her and took it out on Xia Qingxue, she couldn’t just do whatever she wanted.

Zheng Boqiang nodded and smiled. “Yes, that’s right. By the way, your younger sister is very concerned about you. At the beginning, she even sent someone to save you…”

Zheng Boqiang did not know the specific content of the conversation between Xia Qingxue and Gu Minzhi that day, but she knew that Xia Qingxue had asked Gu Minzhi to help search for and rescue Xia Weishuang. Today, she had relayed this matter to Xia Weishuang. Seeing Xia Weishuang’s complicated expression, she couldn’t help but ask curiously:

“Your younger sister is really worried that you’ll be killed by Sang Lu, but now it seems that this worry is a bit unfounded. Actually, I’m also very curious. How did you control Sang Lu? Her current state is really… wonderful.”

At the end, Zheng Boqiang couldn’t help but smile and said, “It is said that you have no ability, and there is a child by your side who has some kind of purification ability… that child is Mi Lele. Regarding the information about the two of you, she was lying, right?”

Xia Weishuang coughed lightly and said, “Yes, Qingxue is sometimes quite smart.”

Living together day and night, the fact that Mi Lele’s ability was not purification might be able to be hidden from a simple-minded person, but it would definitely not be able to be hidden from an old hand who had been around the block.

“What Lele and the others’ abilities are, they have to be willing to tell you themselves,” Xia Weishuang shrugged. “These are not important for the time being.”

“What about you?” Zheng Boqiang asked. “Do you have an ability?”

Her own ability was not something that could be seen just by looking at the surface. Xia Weishuang smiled and said, “You can guess. If you guess right, I’ll tell you.”

Zheng Boqiang said, “I guess you have an ability, not an attack type, but it should be related to intelligence or luck. I don’t know what it is specifically.”

Xia Weishuang’s face did not show it, but she clicked her tongue in her heart. She thought, this Zheng Boqiang is really sharp-eyed.

She did not respond directly, nor did she refute. She just said, “You mentioned Qingxue. What does it have to do with Gu Minzhi? Is Gu Minzhi targeting Qingxue?”

Zheng Boqiang said, “I know you have confidence in Xia Qingxue’s ability, but there’s something you should know. Gu Minzhi is her superior and is in charge of managing the espers. This also means that she doesn’t have to act herself at all. As long as she secretly has someone trip her up, Xia Qingxue might die for no reason.”

Gu Minzhi and Xia Qingxue have such a relationship?

The matter suddenly became serious. Xia Weishuang said anxiously, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Is Gu Minzhi Qingxue’s direct superior? Can she directly order Qingxue? She…”

Zheng Boqiang raised her hand to signal Xia Weishuang to calm down. “Don’t be in a hurry. I’ll tell you slowly. I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid that you would immediately run to the base after you knew the news. In that case, I wouldn’t have gone back with you. I need to recover from my injuries and have the ability to protect myself.”

Xia Weishuang took a deep breath and said, “Okay. You can tell me slowly.”

The whole matter was very simple. Xia Qingxue’s current situation was both difficult and easy. Although Gu Minzhi could directly command and control the espers, above her, there was a regular minister who was not on good terms with the Gu family’s faction and was used to check her.

Xia Qingxue was not sure what the relationship between Gu Minzhi and Xia Weishuang was, but her intuition made her choose to stand on the regular minister’s side. This way, she could try to avoid contact with Gu Minzhi as much as possible.

But even so, if Gu Minzhi really wanted to act against Xia Qingxue, she had plenty of ways to make her a wrongly killed ghost.

“But you don’t have to worry too much now,” Zheng Boqiang said. “Before I and Gu Minzhi came out, Qingxue had already gone on a long-term business trip with some of the espers.”

She said, “The destination is D City. It seems that a survivor base has also been established there. It will take a month or two for a round trip.”

Xia Weishuang’s voice was low. “Plans can’t keep up with changes. Who knows what’s going on with Little Xue. Since you’ve said this, you should know that I won’t be at ease until I see Little Xue.”

Zheng Boqiang said steadily, “But I know you won’t be impulsive. You have to be patient. You have to wait until Sang Lu’s ability to move has recovered a little before you act.”

On the day that Gu Minzhi had planned to snatch Sang Lu, Sang Lu had had a major outbreak and had scared the people away. Gu Minzhi would not come again for a while, and Xia Weishuang and the others had gotten a respite.

Xia Weishuang had thought that she could slowly wait until the weather was warmer before she acted, but she had not expected that she would suddenly learn that Xia Qingxue was in danger today.

She was in a dilemma. For a moment, Xia Weishuang did not know what to do.

She had to be patient, and she should be patient. Xia Weishuang sighed softly and said, “I know.”

It was just that her reason knew that she had to be patient, but her heart was still troubled and in pain.

“Besides these, is there anything else?” Xia Weishuang asked.

“Anything else…” Zheng Boqiang lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said, “Not for now. When I remember, I’ll tell you.”

Xia Weishuang looked at her thoughtfully, nodded, and said, “Okay, I know.”

Before she left, Xia Weishuang left a meaningful sentence, “Help me pay more attention to Qingxue.”

Zheng Boqiang’s lips curled into a smile and she agreed. She returned to the sixth floor, but happened to see Coal Ball running out of her room as if its tail were on fire.

Behind her, a long-haired woman said irritably, “You, stop!”

Coal Ball: “Meow!”

The black cat that was in an emergency escape suddenly braked hard and stopped in front of Zheng Boqiang. It lowered its body and let out a threatening roar.

Zheng Boqiang unhurriedly walked around it and went forward. In front, Bai Qian was looking at her with an embarrassed expression.

“I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying attention, and Coal Ball messed up your room again.”

Because there was no electricity, the electronic lock on the room was already useless. Unless it was bolted from the inside, anyone could enter.

“It’s okay,” Zheng Boqiang went to the door and took a look, and said calmly. “It’ll be fine after I tidy it up.”

“Then I’ll help you,” being caught in the act, Bai Qian was too embarrassed to pretend not to see, and could only have the cat’s owner pay the debt.

Who knew that she wanted to help Zheng Boqiang tidy up the room, but Coal Ball was not happy. It wanted to punish this bad woman, not to let Bai Qian be her servant!

Coal Ball rushed forward and pounced into Bai Qian’s arms, and refused to get down.

With a soft little cat in her arms, how could she have her hands to help tidy up? Bai Qian pulled Coal Ball and said angrily, “You little bastard, get down!”

Coal Ball: “Meow~”

By the time Bai Qian had finally torn Coal Ball from her arms, not only was her hair a mess, but the collar of her clothes had also been pulled open by Coal Ball’s claws. When she looked up again, Zheng Boqiang was sitting at the table, looking at her with a faint smile.

“Do you want some tea?” Zheng Boqiang extended her hand and asked considerately.

“…” To be so embarrassed in front of a woman who was younger than her, Bai Qian was almost about to die of embarrassment. “No… you seem to have finished tidying up?”

“Yes,” Zheng Boqiang said. “I have to thank you, Sister Qian, for coming in time and not letting it destroy too much.”

Bai Qian: “…”

She coughed dryly, picked up Coal Ball again, turned around, and walked towards the door. “In that case, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

The woman’s departing back had a hint of fleeing in panic. Zheng Boqiang smiled as she watched her leave, then got up and closed the door, and only then did she walk to the cabinet.

In the cabinet, there were several pieces of clothes neatly folded and placed. Most of them were provided by Xia Weishuang’s side, and they were of all kinds of styles. Because of Zheng Boqiang’s height, the clothes were basically all men’s clothes, and the men’s clothes here were all of Wei Yunlang’s favorite style.

To be honest, if Zheng Boqiang were to change out of these few pieces of clothes, she could go and try Wei Yunlang’s favorite hip-hop style.

She reached into the deepest part of the wardrobe and felt for something, and only then did she feel at ease.

At night, Zheng Boqiang took out the things from the wardrobe, placed them by her pillow, and covered them with a mattress. She would do this almost every night, because she was waiting, waiting for a message from her companions.

The cold season and the lack of water made even taking a bath a luxury.

After sweating all day, at night, Xia Weishuang took a basin of hot water and wiped her body. After she was done, she changed to a basin of hot water, and was about to wipe Sang Lu as well.

Although Sang Lu’s whole body was cold and she didn’t move much, it was impossible to say that she was sweating. But many times, Xia Weishuang liked to treat her in the way of an ordinary person.

Besides, Sang Lu didn’t seem to be very happy.

Sometimes, Xia Weishuang thought that this was her own illusion. How could Sang Lu be unhappy? She was so sleepy every day, and when she was a little more awake, she would only want to kiss and rub against her. It seemed that she had no other thoughts at all.

In her extremely distorted spiritual world, would there really be things that she didn’t need and didn’t have to care about? Or was it that the complicated-minded human was being too arrogant and thought that she could completely figure out the monster’s mind?

In the afternoon, Xia Weishuang had returned to 612 alone.

At that time, Sang Lu was sitting by the window in the living room. She was leaning against the radiator, looking out the window, and leaving Xia Weishuang with a lazy but lonely back.

Outside the window was a cold and desolate world, a mess, and lifeless.

For a moment, Xia Weishuang felt that Sang Lu seemed to have merged with the window into a painting.

She took a few steps forward, and only then did Sang Lu slowly turn her head. She had often been so sleepy that she had forgotten things, but she had not forgotten to show her sharp, white teeth and a happy smile when she saw Xia Weishuang.

At this time, Xia Weishuang would feel that the previous loneliness was all an illusion.

How should she treat her? Sang Lu was a disaster in her life, a variable that she could never control. She had thought that she would slowly teach her to grow up, but Sang Lu had fallen into a semi-hibernation state again.

She would always unreasonably interrupt Xia Weishuang’s plans and pull her into her own rhythm.

Thinking of this, Xia Weishuang was a little annoyed and reached out to pinch Sang Lu’s cheek.

“How long are you going to sleep?” Xia Weishuang had another question she wanted to ask, but the words had been chewed in her mouth for a long time, and she still hadn’t thought of how to express them.

Should I just ask her if she’s happy or not recently? Not good. Can Sang Lu understand what I mean?

Why not ask her what she’s been thinking about recently.

Thinking of this, just as Xia Weishuang was about to ask, Sang Lu slowly answered the previous question. “I’m not sleeping, ah.”

Xia Weishuang was so amused that she laughed. After laughing for a while, she immediately felt that it was not good, so she became serious again.

What’s going on? I clearly didn’t plan to completely make up with her before she had changed for the better. The previous kiss was only because the situation was urgent and I had no choice.

What’s so funny?

Xia Weishuang’s expression turned cold again. While wiping Sang Lu’s neck with a hot towel, she asked, “What have you been thinking about recently? You’ve been in a daze all day.”

Sang Lu narrowed her eyes, and obediently raised her snow-white, slender neck. It was fragile, slender, and charming, as if it were a toy that could be completely controlled.

“I’m thinking…”

Her expression was also so innocent and dazed. “I’m thinking, what does Shuangshuang want?”
