Chapter 224 – Professor, Please Don’t Raise Zombies (14)
Yan Luo glanced at Yan Che, then tilted her head, her gaze following the crystal core that was in his hand.
She wants to eat it.
Since it was promised to her, eating it now shouldn’t be a problem, right?
She quickly reached out, snatched it, and popped it into her mouth.
Her movements were much faster than before.
Yan Che was momentarily stunned, his eyes slightly widening, and then he quickly reached to her small mouth, pressing her lips together to stop her from chewing.
With a crunch, the crystal wasn’t fully chewed, and Yan Che’s hand tried to pry it out, but she grabbed onto his hand, absolutely refusing to take out the crystal core she already stuffed into her mouth.
—No, no! You said it was mine! I won’t give it to you!
She was very stubborn.
Yan Che couldn’t help but smile as he struggled with her in a tug-of-war that was starting to get out of control.
If it weren’t for the fact that the crystal had to be chewed before it could be absorbed, the little girl might have just swallowed it whole.
With both her hands pressing his, Yan Che could feel her trying to chew from different angles.
“I didn’t see you this fast earlier,” he said as his fingers were rubbed by her little teeth, which hurt him a little.
After some more struggle, she finally lost, watching helplessly as the delicious little crystal was pulled from her mouth.
She pouted, looking like she wanted to scratch him.
“Eat it when we get back,” Yan Che said. “Once we’re at the lab with all the equipment, if you need to level up, I can monitor you closely.”
After all, the virus inside her was special, and who knew if any complications would arise? As he thought this, Yan Che’s eyes held an undeniable gleam, and he cruelly removed the crystal that had just been in her mouth.
She felt wronged, but she sighed quietly.
She closed her lips, smacking them, savoring the taste that almost made it down her throat.
She turned her head away, whined and refused to speak to him.
—You liar, big liar!
“Eat it when we get back, and you can safely find a place to evolve. You don’t want to start evolving here, do you?” Yan Che said as he shook the crystal in his hand, then put it in his pocket.
Seems like it makes sense.
Anyway, it was still hers (✧v✧)
“I really made you greedy to death.” He flicked her on the head, watching her little eyes fill with anticipation, her voice soft as she muttered ‘Yan Che’ from time to time.
He was softening inside.
He stopped looking for experimental materials and gently held the little zombie, whose eyes were still glued to his pocket, close to his chest as they walked back.
He tapped her small head, raising an eyebrow. “Now you’re calling me? Weren’t you chewing away just now?”
With one hand holding her, the other extended to her, Yan Che couldn’t help but notice her impressive bite—she had managed to leave several deep impressions on his fingers despite his strength.
The faint red marks contrasted sharply with his pale skin.
Tilting her head, Yan Che watched her look at his hand, seeing the mischief she had caused, then blinked and murmured.
“Who told you tempt me with it in front of my eyes? It’s all mine, can’t I just enjoy it first?”
Although he couldn’t hear exactly what she murmured, he could tell it was her way of deflecting responsibility.
Yan Che snorted softly, raising an eyebrow, his eyes filled with a hint of threat.
The little girl immediately blinked, obediently staying in his arms, wrapping her hands around his neck, completely ignoring his hand, and leaned close to his ear, calling softly.
“Yan Che, Yan Che.”
