Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 53

Chapter 53

When Sang Lu said she remembered a lot, Xia Weishuang was a little surprised, because this seemed to mean that Sang Lu’s connection to the past was more than she had imagined.

Sang Lu’s situation was too complicated. She herself seemed to be unaware of the process of her transformation, which made people unable to help but worry whether the current Sang Lu was the original body affected by the “seed” and the ability, or a brand-new monster that had devoured Sang Lu’s remains and the residual memories in her cells.

This was a question that probably even Sang Lu herself could not distinguish.

But now she told herself that she still retained a lot of her memories, so did this mean that Sang Lu’s situation was the former?

If it was the former… Xia Weishuang was a little excited and accidentally pulled Sang Lu’s hair.

Sang Lu did not show any pain. After Xia Weishuang realized what she had done, she was startled herself. She quickly and gently rubbed her scalp.

However, since Sang Lu’s memory was not missing too much, but her mental state was what it was now, was it a mental illness or a psychological illness?

Xia Weishuang continued to dry her wet hair, and her thoughts had already flown beyond the clouds. She went through the possible illnesses that Sang Lu might have in her mind, such as bipolar disorder, mental disorder, bipolar affective disorder…

She also wanted to ask Sang Lu how much she remembered. If she recalled the past with her, she didn’t know if it would help her regain a little bit of her humanity.

Before Xia Weishuang could ask, Sang Lu suddenly snatched the wet towel from her hand, put it on Xia Weishuang’s hair in return, and then took a basin of water and splashed it on Xia Weishuang.

“Shuangshuang should wash too,” Sang Lu said with great seriousness, rubbing Xia Weishuang’s body with her hands. She said seriously, “I don’t like the smell.”

She had been scared by Sang Lu before, so Xia Weishuang had sprayed some more mosquito repellent on herself. Before, it was to cover her scent. Now, it was to hope that Sang Lu would not have an appetite.

Xia Weishuang coughed dryly and said, “You go out first. I’ll wash myself.”

It was hot in the summer, and it was easy to sweat. Even if she stayed in the room and didn’t move much, she would inevitably have sweat stains and an unpleasant smell on her body. Before, her body had been corroded by Sang Lu’s mucus, and her skin was damaged and became sensitive. Xia Weishuang had deliberately let it heal. Now it was almost healed, and she also wanted to wash.

Sang Lu looked at her calmly, as if she had not heard the two words “go out.”

Xia Weishuang reached out and pushed her towards the bathroom door. Sang Lu didn’t react, so she boldly pushed her again.

Sang Lu was reluctantly pushed out by her.

After Xia Weishuang had washed and dried herself, she returned to the front of the shop and saw Sang Lu holding the mosquito repellent that she had placed on the small round table, opening the window, and throwing it out with a whoosh.

Xia Weishuang: “…”

Forget it. I’m too lazy to argue with her. I don’t want to tell her that besides this one, I have several more, so she doesn’t throw them all away.

To prevent her skin from not being completely healed and getting infected from the water, Xia Weishuang dried her body and then sprayed herself with alcohol spray again. When Sang Lu saw this, she seemed to be not well, but she didn’t say anything, just stared at Xia Weishuang with a look that was hard to ignore.

Xia Weishuang was so stared at by her that she almost thought she had done something unforgivable.

After she had disinfected herself, Xia Weishuang held up the alcohol spray and emphasized, “You can’t throw it away. I need it, you know?”

Sang Lu sat by the window, depressed, bathing in the night, as quiet as a lady who had been hurt by love.

Xia Weishuang lowered her head and smiled, not comforting her. She was afraid that Sang Lu would take the opportunity to ask her to throw away the alcohol spray.

Xia Weishuang remembered that there was a fully charged power bank in her car. It was charged when she was at the gas station and was kept in Xia Qingxue’s space. Later, it seemed that everyone had forgotten about it. It wasn’t until Xia Weishuang was leaving Green Mountain Village that Xia Qingxue had randomly taken things out and had taken it out as well.

She had just used this power bank to charge the new phone. The charging cable was right next to the phone, and she had brought it back with her.

This phone was brand new and had not been used, so there was no password and it could be opened directly. The original battery was not very full, and there was no SIM card, so it seemed that it could not do anything.

Xia Weishuang was a little disappointed. If there was a SIM card, maybe she could call Little Xue to let her know she was safe. But thinking that Second Uncle and Second Aunt’s phones might not be usable either, she was not so disappointed.

After charging the new phone, Xia Weishuang turned on the power-saving mode, then set an alarm for four in the morning.

This was her estimated time. Coal Ball should have arrived between 4:30 and 5:00 in the morning. It should have been with Bai Qian. Was it just passing by, or was there something else?

Xia Weishuang was not sure. She was just afraid that Coal Ball had come because something had happened to Bai Qian. In fact, she could have taken Sang Lu to another place and directly avoided Coal Ball.

Xia Weishuang hesitated for a while between the possibility that something had happened to Coal Ball and letting it avoid Sang Lu first and talking about it later. She still leaned towards the latter and proposed to Sang Lu the idea of changing places to live.

Sang Lu actually refused. Sang Lu, who had no special requirements for such things, shook her head and said very innocently, “I think this place, is very good.”

She didn’t know why she suddenly had requirements for the place she lived. Xia Weishuang couldn’t force her to leave, so she gently coaxed her a few words.

“We can go to a hotel. Don’t you like water? Some hotels have their own swimming pools. Otherwise, we can go to a bathhouse.”

It was obvious that Sang Lu liked water. When she was in Green Mountain Village, she would soak in the water all day. Xia Weishuang was tempting her with this. It should have been a one-hit kill.

But Sang Lu still refused.

Xia Weishuang was a little puzzled. “Don’t you like water anymore?”

Sang Lu said, “I like water, but I like, Shuangshuang more.”

What does that mean? Even if we change places, I will definitely go with her. Just as Xia Weishuang looked at Sang Lu with a puzzled look and was about to ask, Sang Lu seemed to have let it slip and tightly closed her mouth, turned her face to the window, and began to admire the moon.

Xia Weishuang had no choice but to give up the idea of changing places. At night, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. It was almost two in the morning. She couldn’t sleep peacefully because she was worried about Coal Ball.

Sang Lu was still sitting by the bed, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky through the glass window.

In the past, Xia Weishuang felt that only when she was by her side could she sleep peacefully in the moonlight, without worrying about zombies, without worrying about anything. Now, Xia Weishuang was afraid of her, but she had to admit that she still needed to be by Sang Lu’s side to sleep in the moonlight.

Perhaps because the moonlight was too beautiful tonight, Xia Weishuang suddenly stretched out her toes and touched Sang Lu’s leg.

Sang Lu slowly turned her head to look at Xia Weishuang. The moonlight came from behind her, casting a shadow on her face. At first, she was not smiling. When she turned her head and saw Xia Weishuang, she suddenly reacted and put the smile back on her face.

She said she would change, and she was really changing.

Xia Weishuang knew how strong her possessiveness was. Perhaps her recent “change for the better” was only based on the situation where there were only the two of them. But, Coal Ball might come over, and she couldn’t change places. She had to test if Sang Lu could accept her connection with others.

Xia Weishuang sat up, supporting herself on the headboard, and said to Sang Lu, “If a mutated beast comes over, will you kill it?”

Sang Lu nodded.

Xia Weishuang asked again, “Then if that mutated beast is my friend, can you not kill it?”

Sang Lu thought for a moment and nodded.

Xia Weishuang was overjoyed and continued to ask, “Then my mutated beast friend is the one who took me away a few days ago. Can you not attack it either?”

This time, Sang Lu was silent for a longer time. Her curved eyes narrowed, and she nodded.

Xia Weishuang almost suspected that Sang Lu had been bewitched. But Sang Lu’s cooperation still made her feel very good—but it only made her feel a little relieved. She still couldn’t trust her 100%. After all, she couldn’t afford the price of wrongly believing her.

In this complicated mood, Xia Weishuang dozed off and was then woken up by the phone alarm. When she woke up, her heartbeat was irregular due to lack of rest, and Xia Weishuang almost thought she would die suddenly.

She leaned against the headboard and drank a can of eight-treasure congee. The cool, soft, and sweet congee made her feel much more comfortable. This was also left by Bai Qian.

But that day, Xia Weishuang did not wait for Coal Ball. After dawn, she closed her eyes and tried to catch up on sleep, but she couldn’t sleep. It was not until around ten o’clock that she felt sleepy, but after a while, she was woken up by the high temperature of the summer.

This summer was really hot and long. The temperature was particularly high today. Xia Weishuang folded a fan from a piece of cardboard and fanned herself, but she was still sweating.

Sang Lu looked at her, then suddenly rushed out of the shop. She didn’t know where she had gone. About half an hour later, Sang Lu came back with a shower head.

A rubber hose was connected to the back of the shower head, which extended to the bathroom. Sang Lu’s hand was covering the shower head. Then she sat next to Xia Weishuang, moved her tightly sealed hand, and the water sprayed out, spraying both of them.

Xia Weishuang: “…”

She endured and endured, and couldn’t bear it anymore. “The bed is wet.”

Sang Lu sat next to her, slowly fell down, her hand still holding the shower head high. “Very good. I like it.”

Xia Weishuang: “I don’t like it, thank you.”

She ruthlessly left the bed that had been wet by Sang Lu, changed to another one, and after drying herself, she sprayed herself with alcohol spray again. In fact, the alcohol spray no longer hurt when it was sprayed on her body. The damage to her skin had already recovered, but she was just a little angry, so she still sprayed herself again.

Sang Lu looked at her, her eyes slightly regretful, not knowing why Xia Weishuang was not enjoying the cool shower with her.

The second morning, Xia Weishuang set several alarms, afraid that she would not be able to wake up in time, and repeatedly told Sang Lu that if a cat-like mutated beast came over, she should not kill it and should ask for her opinion.

At four in the morning, Xia Weishuang woke up on time. She stuffed a small bottle of alcohol spray into her pants pocket. It was only 50ml, less than the size of a palm.

She got out of bed, sat by the window, and Sang Lu, who was lying behind her, also sat next to her.

“Can I trust you?” Xia Weishuang took the initiative to hold Sang Lu’s hand and said softly, “Do you still remember our first date?”

Sang Lu turned her head slightly. Without the strong light of the day, her beautiful and intimidating features all seemed to soften. When she looked at Xia Weishuang, it suddenly gave people a feeling of returning to the past.

“I was very nervous at that time,” Xia Weishuang didn’t know if she still remembered. She lowered her head and smiled, talking to herself. “It was my first time on a date with an outsider, I mean—not a relative. I had only gone out with Little Xue before.”

Sang Lu’s fingers gently hooked Xia Weishuang’s.

The scene of their first date was still vivid in her mind. Xia Weishuang recalled it and gently told her about it.

In fact, it was not a very perfect date. On the weekend, they went to an amusement park. It should have been very relaxed and happy, but she was too nervous, which was a bit of a letdown.

But Sang Lu did not show it. She did not persuade Xia Weishuang not to be nervous, but was particularly patient. When she asked Xia Weishuang what to play and what to eat, even if she only got a perfunctory answer like “I’m fine with anything,” she still did not change her attitude at all.

But during the date, it was Xia Weishuang who had taken the initiative to hold Sang Lu’s hand. The other party was too gentle. Knowing that she was nervous, she had always kept her distance.

Xia Weishuang hated herself for being like this. She didn’t want Sang Lu to think that she had no interest in the date, so this time she chose to take the initiative.

Sang Lu was a little surprised, but then she chuckled. When she was sending Xia Weishuang back to her dormitory, she asked, “Can I kiss you?”

This time it was Xia Weishuang’s turn to be surprised. She was both surprised and at a loss. This seemed a little too fast, but if she refused directly, she was afraid that Sang Lu would be sad.

Sang Lu saw through her thoughts, gently caught a strand of her hair by her temple, and kissed it lightly.

When Sang Lu was leaving, Xia Weishuang suddenly chased after her and said, “Wait, I’ll walk you back.”

Sang Lu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Then didn’t I just walk you back for nothing?”

The two of them were not in the same dormitory area. The campus was large, and it would take some walking to get to the other side.

Xia Weishuang thought about it and felt that it was true. So the next day, she got up early, took a detour to Sang Lu’s dormitory, and wanted to take her to the teaching building area together. She was afraid of waking Sang Lu up, and she also wanted to give her a surprise, so she didn’t tell her on WeChat.

But that day, Sang Lu had no classes in the first and second periods. She rarely slept in and was lying in bed, reliving yesterday’s date. In fact, she had checked her phone as soon as she woke up, wanting to see if there were any new messages. She was not sad when she didn’t see any, because she remembered that Xia Weishuang had classes, so she didn’t take the initiative to disturb her studies—these were all things that Sang Lu had told Xia Weishuang later.

Sang Lu said that she was a little surprised when she came down and saw Xia Weishuang. She didn’t know how long she had been waiting, sitting in the shade of a tree by the roadside, as pitiful as the little match girl. Sang Lu almost felt that she had become a slag girl who had played with her and then thrown her away, which had made the love debt come to her door.

The pitiful Xia Weishuang’s eyes lit up when she saw Sang Lu. She didn’t mention that she had skipped class at all, not knowing that the other party had already guessed it. When Xia Weishuang saw Sang Lu, she immediately showed a smiling face, took Sang Lu’s hand, and said, “Let’s go. I’ll treat you to bread.”

The cafeteria was no longer selling breakfast at this time. Xia Weishuang hadn’t eaten either. She remembered that the two of them had gone to a small supermarket to buy chocolate bread and sausages that day, and they had also bought strawberry-flavored milk.

“So you also sleep in,” Xia Weishuang and Sang Lu were sitting on the side of the playground, eating and chatting. Xia Weishuang sighed.

Sang Lu, holding the milk bag, was overjoyed and laughed so hard that she bent over, and suddenly choked.

Xia Weishuang quickly held her and patted her back, and said with a slight blush, “Serves you right.”

So Sang Lu would also choke herself.

**

This ordinary memory might not be worth reliving for others. In others’ eyes, it would probably just be boring. But in Xia Weishuang’s eyes, it was very beautiful.

She did not expect Sang Lu to immediately become emotionally rich and regain her humanity just by listening to her memories. She said these things, both for Sang Lu to hear and for herself.

She needed beautiful memories to support herself.

As she was talking, Sang Lu suddenly straightened up, her face suddenly turned to the window, and her eyes flashed with a vigilant light.

This change of face like flipping a book made Xia Weishuang a little discouraged. She didn’t know if Sang Lu had any feelings at all after listening to her boring memories.

But Xia Weishuang quickly composed herself again, because she realized that this was very likely Coal Ball coming.

She quickly grabbed Sang Lu’s hand and emphasized, “If it’s a black cat, don’t hurt it.”

The sound was getting closer and closer. She didn’t know if Sang Lu had heard her or not.

Xia Weishuang stood up and was about to go to the window to take a look, but Sang Lu suddenly moved. Her speed was frighteningly fast. She opened the window and rushed out.

Xia Weishuang was startled by her and couldn’t stop her at all. She also followed her out of the window and called out in Sang Lu’s direction, “Coal Ball!”

“Meow!”

It’s really Coal Ball!

Xia Weishuang quickly said, “Sang Lu, don’t kill it!”

“Meow, meow, meow!”

The black cat, which seemed to be invisible in the night, let out a miserable cry, which scared Xia Weishuang into thinking that it was injured.

But this time, Sang Lu had really listened to her. She did not kill Coal Ball, nor did she let it get seriously injured. Instead, she spent some effort to tie Coal Ball up and hang it in front of Xia Weishuang.

The thing that was tying Coal Ball was naturally Sang Lu’s mutated limbs that had turned into ropes. Coal Ball weakly meowed at Xia Weishuang twice, its ears flattened. It seemed to be asking for help.

Xia Weishuang held Coal Ball, which was equivalent to holding Sang Lu’s tentacles. She said with embarrassment, “Sang Lu, can you let it go first?”

Sang Lu pulled Coal Ball back with a whoosh, brought it in front of her, and sniffed at it with a strange expression, as if she wanted to remember its smell.
