Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

"Oh, if I knew that sooner, I would have never asked. I apologize for that.."

As Li Zhen apologized, Yueyue felt a little guilty for pushing so hard. Especially when Li Zhen helped her a lot when she was still a police officer.

"It's fine... Also, Yuqi called me a few minutes ago to assist you in guarding the restricted zone. Let's talk outside and discuss how to prevent this from happening again."

With the two walking away from the scene and the SWAT team cleaning up the aftermath, Kate and Tianci returned to Xiaoyun's room.

Just as they stood in front of Xiaoyun's door, Kate stopped.

"Tianci, can you stay and watch guard for today? I'll be back tomorrow for the morning shift." Kate suddenly asked.

"Sure." Tianci nodded in agreement.

As Kate walked away from the door, Tianci opened it and walked inside.

Xiaoyun was closing his eyes as he imagined himself fully healed, but to Tianci, it looked like Xiaoyun was asleep.

Tianci slowly walked over to the bedside and sat beside it.

"Why does my heart beat so fast when I get near him? I need to calm down." Tianci thought to herself.

"He looks so peaceful when he's asleep... He's so kind and gentle... Only if he doesn't already have six wives." Tianci's heartbeat slowed as she recalled Wuli and Shuli's wedding.

"I wonder why they all love him so much? Why would anyone share a husband in the twenty-first century? It can't be because he's kind to others, right?"

"Or maybe it is the sole reason. Just like how he's kind to me... He's the only one that accepted me... No one else will ever want to be with a monster like me..."

Tianci's mind started favoring Xiaoyun's side as she stared at Xiaoyun's face.

"Tianci, stop thinking about this kind of stuff. I have to keep it professional. I'm his bodyguard now."

Tianci shifted her attention to the window as she looked toward the outside.

She could see the leaves rustling through the window as the wind gently blew towards the trees.

"It's August already... I have been in the town for over a month now, right?"

After looking outside for a while, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Tianci got up from her seat and approached the door to answer.

It was a young man standing outside the door.

"Hello, is this Mr.Xiaoyun's room? Are you the bodyguard for him?" The man asked Tianci.

"Um, yes. You are?" Tianci looked back with suspicion on her face.

"Someone sent me to deliver this mail to him. Here it is."

The young man took out the mail and handed it to Tianci. Then immediately left the area before Tianci could ask anything.

As Tianci closed the door and examined the mail, her face displayed confusion by the mail cover.

"Renqin? Who is that?" Tianci couldn't remember the name but felt she had heard it before.

After sitting back down, she decided not to open it and put it on the table.

Two hours later...

Just as the moon rose and the sunlight disappeared in the distance, Xiaoyun finally opened his eyes again.

"I can finally feel like legs!" Xiaoyun excitedly announced out loud as he could feel the weight of the blanket and the fabric of his clothes touching his skin.

Unfortunately, Xiaoyun still can't move his leg yet.

"Shit... I haven't used the restroom for so long." Xiaoyun could feel a slight urge to use the restroom, but he was too embarrassed to call in the nurse.

Xiaoyun looked around the room but found nothing useful to help him move.

With no other options left, Xiaoyun used his upper body strength to attempt to reach his phone.

But it was just slightly out of reach as he sat on the edge of the bed. So he had to lift himself a little to go over the edge.

Just as Xiaoyun was about to reach the phone, the door suddenly opened.

"Xiaoyun, I brought you dinner—— what are you doing?"

It was Nami's voice as she looked confused by Xiaoyun's action.

"I was just trying to get my phone." Xiaoyun moved back to the bed as he explained himself.

"Oh, let me help you get it."

Nami grabbed onto his phone and handed it over.

"Thanks... What's for dinner?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as Nami put the bag on the chair.

"They closed the kitchen door when I wanted to see it. I don't know why they are being so secretive about it." Nami replied as she took the lunchbox out of the bag.

As Nami opened the lunch box, the two noticed it was just a water bottle.

"What is the lunch in a bottle like this?" Nami looked completely confused by it as she took it out.

Xiaoyun immediately grabbed it away from Nami's hand as he understood what it was.

"It's probably just chicken soup. I'll drink it later. I'm actually kind of full right now." Xiaoyun replied as he put the bottle to the side.

"Oh, okay." Nami didn't think much of it, although she felt a chicken soup water bottle was odd.

As the two looked at each other silently, Xiaoyun decided to speak up.

"Nami, is your pregnancy going okay?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he noticed her belly had become much more noticeable.

Not to mention, her tiny body frame and height make it much more apparent.

"I thought I would never hear the day you ask that. Yes, it's going fine. I haven't really gone to work for the past few days, though..."

Nami's face looked a little sad as she missed working in the office with Yuqi and Shuli.

"I can ask Yuqi to make some adjustments if you want. I'm sure she doesn't mind moving the office——"

"It's fine. I don't want to bother her too much. She has been already overwhelmed lately dealing with the newcomers." Nami replied.

"Okay."

As the room fell silent again, Xiaoyun finally noticed Nami looked a little down. So he suddenly decided to lift Nami to the bed.

"Nami, have you thought of our baby's name yet?" Xiaoyun asked as he put Nami on his lap.

"Um... I haven't thought of that yet. Anyway, I'm only in the second trimester. There is still a long way to go." Nami reminded Xiaoyun.

"Still, you can start thinking of a name now if you want sweetie." Xiaoyun gently rubbed Nami's stomach.

"Yeah, I guess... I'll tell you when I get an idea for it."

As the Nami sat inside Xiaoyun's embrace, the two could feel each other's heartbeat and temperature.

"Xiaoyun... if... just if okay?" Nami hesitated for a second, then continued.

"If you have to choose between the baby or me, which one would——?"

"I would choose you no matter what. Come on, silly, when did you start watching drama shows?" Xiaoyun interrupted Nami before she could finish.

"I'm being serious... I know I don't really have a body like mom, and even the doctor told me I might have a difficult time." Nami looked a little down again as she looked down at her belly.

"The doctor said the same thing for Yuqi, and she was still able to do it... Don't let others doubt you, Nami. I believe in you."

Xiaoyun turned Nami around as he stared into Nami's eyes with a serious face.

"Okay, okay... I was just asking." Nami shyly turned her head to the side.

"Also, I wasn't joking earlier. I will choose you no matter what."

"Yeah, yeah, I already know you are going to say——"

Just as Nami was about to finish her sentence, Xiaoyun kissed her on the lips.

As Nami looked surprised by Xiaoyun's kiss, he took a step further and started moving his tongue to open up Nami's mouth.

Nami opened her mouth happily as their tongue began to mingle with each other.

After what felt like forever, the two finally separated.

"Nami, I love you," Xiaoyun said as he stared into Nami's eyes.

"I love you too," Nami replied as she stared back into Xiaoyun's eyes.

Just as Xiaoyun slowly moved his hand underneath Nami's cloth. Someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Nami, I finished the dinner you brought." Tianci's voice could be heard by the two of them.

Nami immediately jumped down the bed as her face was still blushing red from earlier.

"Wait until we get back home, okay? You're still injured." Nami reminded Xiaoyun.

"Fine, I guess you're right." Xiaoyun looked down in defeat as Nami fixed her clothes back to normal.

"Anyway, I'm going home now. See you tomorrow."

Nami rushed out of the room before Xiaoyun could even say goodbye

As Xiaoyun was back to being alone in the room, he picked up the water bottle back up.

Just as Xiaoyun expected, the bottle inside was full of milk.

"Did all three of them mix their milk?" Xiaoyun mumbled as the amount was more than what one of them could produce.

On top of that, the taste was much more thick and sweeter than any of the three.
