Chapter 228: This Zombie Is under My Protection! 20

After turning into a zombie, Shen Yi had always craved blood. He possessed all the typical zombie instincts, though he managed to suppress them. However, Su Tang's sudden cry amplified the dormant desire within him.

He wanted blood, or more specifically, Su Tang's blood.

But he knew the young woman was delicate. She had already given a tube of blood for the serum last time. If he were to feed on her again, he didn't know how long it would take for her to recover.

She was someone he cherished and protected; he couldn't bear to hurt her.

"No need, I'll just lie down for a bit." He closed his eyes after speaking. However, thinking he rarely feigned illness, he felt he deserved some kind of reward. He grabbed her hand and said stiffly, "Stay with me."

Shen Yi had never acted spoiled. After saying those words, even he couldn't stand it. Before Su Tang could react, he released her hand and burrowed under the covers, giving up on himself.

"Forget it, I'll just sleep for a while."

Su Tang had never seen him like this. She burst out laughing.

Shen Yi's face darkened. He wasn't angry at Su Tang, but at himself. He was someone who had survived countless battles, so why was he acting so melodramatic now? He couldn't even stand himself.

"You go out and eat… " He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering he hadn't cooked for her yet. He sat up again. "I'll go make you something to eat."

Su Tang laughed because she found his earlier behavior rather endearing. Hmm… perhaps "endearing" wasn't the right word to describe him. She just found his reaction amusing. He was like a large dog trying to compete for attention but not knowing how, ending up frustrated with himself.

If Shen Yi knew she was comparing him to a dog, he would definitely show her through actions that he was no mere dog. At the very least, he was a wolf.

Su Tang pushed him back down. "What cooking? You're not well. I'll do it myself."

Shen Yi, remembering a certain someone who had burned themselves twice, looked at her silently.

This look made Su Tang bristle. What did he mean? Did he look down on her? Her cooking skills had been enhanced. As long as she had the ingredients, there was nothing she couldn't make. Even if she couldn't, she had the System, that old dog, which could instantly provide her with hundreds of recipes.

However, Shen Yi still didn't trust her.

"Be good. You can cook next time. I'll watch you."

Su Tang was stubborn. "No, you go rest."

Shen Yi felt a headache coming on. He shouldn't have pretended to be sick in the first place. "I'm not feeling unwell. You go rest; I'll cook."

The two reached a stalemate. Finally, the sole spectator, the System, couldn't take it anymore.

"Someone save me! I'm going to be stuffed to death by this dog food."

Su Tang retorted, "Come on, you old dog, stop playing innocent."

The System felt wronged. Other systems were treated like precious darlings by their hosts, but not it. It was the host's old dog. When she was in a good mood, she'd pat it and call it "darling." When she wasn't, she wished she could bash its head in.

But the System wouldn't complain. It had professional integrity!

"Shen Yi isn't sick. He's faking it. He's perfectly fine. Let him cook. Let's talk about the plot."

Upon hearing this, Su Tang narrowed her eyes. She had thought he was just toughing it out, but it turned out she was the one being played.

"Uncle Shen, is it fun pretending to be sick?"

Shen Yi's eyelids twitched at the address. "I was uncomfortable just now, but I'm much better now."

He would never admit to faking illness, even if it killed him. Otherwise, the girl would get angry.

Su Tang sneered, all her previous concern for him vanishing. "No, you're still unwell. Keep lying down. I'll make this meal myself."

Shen Yi wouldn't allow it, but he knew he was in the wrong. He could only dejectedly follow her. He offered to help with whatever she was doing, even though there wasn't much he could do.

The kitchen always had stored water. Su Tang washed the rice and was about to put it in the pot when she suddenly realized a very serious problem.

She didn't have a fire. How could she cook without fire?

She stared blankly at the washed rice. Seeing this, Shen Yi immediately activated his fire ability. "I'll do it. You just sit and eat an apple." He placed the apple from earlier into her hand.

Su Tang hadn't eaten fruit in a long time. She took a large bite of the apple. It had to be said, the apple grown by the male lead was crisp and delicious. Before long, she had gnawed it down to the core.

Shen Yi finished cooking and turned around to see her holding the core. "Shen Yi, grow another apple?"

Having eaten his food, Su Tang had lost her earlier anger. Her soft voice sounded strangely alluring to Shen Yi.

"Okay." He took the apple core, not minding the saliva on it. But after regenerating the apple, he suddenly thought of a very serious problem. "I took a bite of this apple just now."

Su Tang replied, "Yeah, I don't mind."

It was the apocalypse. Being picky about food would lead to starvation.

But Shen Yi became anxious. "I bit that apple. It has my saliva on it. I'm a zombie!" After saying this, he tossed the apple into the kitchen without a second thought and looked nervously at Su Tang. "Lin Yang, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

By the end of his sentence, his eyes were red with anxiety. If Lin Yang turned into a zombie, he would never forgive himself.

Su Tang was also startled. Their usual interactions had made her forget that he was actually a zombie.

"I don't feel anything unusual for now." She then asked the System.

The System sighed. "The ancients were right. Love truly lowers one's intelligence."

Su Tang's lips twitched, speechless for once.

Indeed, if she were going to turn into a zombie, the System would have warned her when she ate the apple, not now when they were both panicking.

However, she still needed to clarify. "Dog, Shen Yi doesn't have the ability to turn people into zombies?"

The System replied, "He's the male lead, the Child of Destiny. Things only happen when he wants them to. If he doesn't want it, it won't happen."

If she were truly going to turn into a zombie, the transformation would have started by now. But currently, she was perfectly fine, with no signs of mutation.

"I'm fine." Looking at the remorseful Shen Yi, she sighed. "Really, I'm fine. If you're still worried, can you wait until I finish eating? That apple wasn't enough to fill me up."

Although she said this, Shen Yi still didn't relax. He watched her with his whole body tense, as if ready to take action the moment she showed any signs of change.

While eating, Su Tang suddenly became curious. "If I really did turn into a zombie, what would you do with me?"

Shen Yi replied, "Tie you up and hide you."

Su Tang paused, then said with a smile, "Don't bother. Just shoot me. Living like that, undead and without reason, is worse than a dignified death."
