So, in the next couple of days, Wu Chengyue watched Lin Hao come to Lin Qiao's room five times a day with great concern and touch her body right in front of him! Lin Hao called that 'check-ups', but Wu Chengyue didn't believe him.
Wu Chengyue felt like he was going to explode. He wasn't able to maintain the smile on his face. Once Lin Hao showed up, his smile faded.
Lin Hao felt great to see that grumpy look on Wu Chengyue's face, so he smiled delightedly.
How could Lin Qiao not notice the change of the atmosphere between those two men? She rolled her eyes in her heart a thousand times, but still cooperated with her little brother. She wanted Wu Chengyue to keep misunderstanding her and Lin Hao. She hoped that he would think of her as a sl*tty woman and give up on pursuing her!
Mildly, she smiled at Lin Hao and said, "Thank you, Doctor Lin. You're so nice!"
She made the words 'Doctor Lin' sound very soft and gentle. Lin Hao shivered when he heard that, such that his hair even stood up. But still, he acted calmly and responded with laughter, "You're welcome! If you really want to thank me, maybe we should have dinner together tonight. You are discharged today, so let's celebrate."
The two of them had dinner together all the time, but Wu Chengyue didn't know about that.
"No!" He disagreed without thinking.
Lin Hao wasn't afraid of him at all. He looked at Wu Chengyue with a sneer and said, "Eh? Chief Wu, what right do you have to say no? Everyone knows that you're pursing our Chief, but our Chief didn't accept you, did she? She can have dinner with anyone she wants, and doesn't need your permission for it."
Wu Chengyue's face darkened instantly, yet he had nothing to say. He stared at Lin Hao's smiling face cheerlessly, then turned to the zombie lady, who was also wearing a warm smile. He felt as if something was stuck in his chest. He couldn't press it down or let it out, and that made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Alright, Chief Wu. Doctor Lin is right. It's my business," Lin Qiao joined the conversation, helped her brother to give Wu Chengyue a heavy strike.
"Chief, I'll be expecting the dinner tonight," Lin Hao turned up his lips corners and said a few words to Lin Hao, then turned and left.
Duan Juan and Shen Yujen were both standing by the door expressionlessly. At that moment, one of them had burst in laughter on the inside while the other felt pity for Wu Chengyue.
Neither of them could hear the conversation that happened in the room, but they had guessed something out based on the scene in the room and the looks on the faces of the three.
Duan Juan knew who Lin Qiao really was. So, seeing the interactions between her and Lin Hao, she immediately figured out what kind of show they had been putting up. Judging by Chief Wu's dark face, Lin Qiao and her brother were definitely doing that on purpose. Poor Chief Wu!
Meanwhile, Shen Yujen was seriously feeling sorry for Chief Wu, her precious leader. The woman that he liked was now with another man, and they acted intimately right in front of him. He must be so frustrated!
"You're right! I have no right to decide who you'll have dinner with. You can do whatever you want," Wu Chengyue eased the anger in his heart and then said coldly. After that, he turned to Wu Yueling and said, "Ling Ling, we're going home."
Wu Yueling looked at her father's face and felt that he was quite angry. With a little frightened heart, she obediently walked to Wu Chengyue's side and held his hand. Meanwhile, she helplessly turned to look at Lin Qiao. She was reluctant to part with her Zombie Mommy, but her Daddy was angry now, so she decided to follow her Daddy home.
Lin Qiao waved goodbye to Wu Yueling with a grin.
At dinner, Lin Hao showed up alone.
Lin Qiao was a zombie now. She no longer ate human food, but still remembered how to cook. She wasn't able to tell if the food she made tasted good or bad though.
"Try this. I haven't cooked for a long time, so I don't know if I flavored it well," Lin Qiao put a dish of vegetable on the table and then said to Lin Hao, who had already started eating.
"A bit too salty…" Lin Hao put some vegetables in his mouth and chewed before he said.
"Have you told him about my condition?" Lin Qiao poured herself a glass of water, then sat down in front of him and asked.
Lin Hao glanced at her, then nodded and said, "Since he's the father of your baby, he does have the right to know. We're not counting on him for help, but can't risk letting him accidentally affect you and the baby either."
Lin Qiao nodded silently.
Lin Hao took a sip of the soup, then looked at her and continued with, "So, since you guys have… slept with each other, why is he still good and healthy? Are you a fake zombie?"
Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and responded with, "Would you like to try it yourself with a zombie girl? I'll help you."
Lin Hao nearly spouted the soup. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't want that. I'm only curious! After all, you're the least zombie-like zombie I've ever seen!"
Lin Qiao said to him with a wicked smile, "Girls are rare now. I'm worried that you may never find a girlfriend!"
She was only kidding. She didn't have the guts to let Lin Hao be with a zombie girl for real. Shen Yujen and Chen Yuting still didn't dare to touch each other at the moment. Life was hard for them!
Shen Yujen was now able to hide her sharp nails, so they might be able to hold hands. However, neither of them had the courage to kiss each other.
Lin Hao was right, though. Not every zombie had the same kind of body condition as Lin Qiao did. If it weren't for the energy in the lake, Wu Chengyue might have died already.
"Sister, just tell me how did you… eh, how did you do it? It's not scientifically explicable, but I can study at it, and that might become a new possibility!" Lin Hao looked at Lin Qiao with glowing eyes.
"You can't study everything! Isn't my baby enough for you to study? Do you also want to study that? Or, would you like to try it yourself?" Lin Qiao rolled her eyes, then changed the topic again.
"Oi, I'm serious! Can't you talk seriously?" Lin Hao glared at her with discontentment.
Lin Qiao slapped on his head and said, "Why are you so interested in your sister's sex life? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Damn! I asked the question very seriously, yet you responded in a dirty way! How am I supposed to study without you telling me how it happened? If I found an answer about that, I might be able to help Chen Yuting and his wife, as well as the other zombies!" Lin Hao was a little angry as his sister slapped his head. "Why don't you understand?" He added.
Lin Qiao was only joking with him. As he seemed to lose his temper, she laughed, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you. We were at the bottom of the lake in my space. I think it had something to do with the energy in the lake.
Lin Hao held his chopsticks with one hand and his rice bowl with the other. After hearing what Lin Qiao said, he thought for a moment and then murmured, "In the water? Do you both have to be in the water to do it safely?"
Lin Qiao nodded and said, "That's probably true."
