Chapter 56 Frankenstein's Hobby Captivity 8
As Jiang Wan was expecting, Chen Mu looked up at her. His eyes were dark and filled with emotions that Jiang Wan could not understand.
"Thank you for saving me, but you're overthinking it. I haven't thought about you during this time."
Jiang Wan's smile froze, and the curve of his mouth disappeared. "Chen Mu, do you really have to talk to me like this?"
Chen Mu lowered his eyes and didn't want to say more.
Jiang Wan looked at Chen Mu, who was like a wooden lump in front of her. No matter how good her mood was, it disappeared without a trace. She felt suffocated, as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest. Her breathing became heavy and labored.
She was driven crazy!
Why are some people so stubborn? If you like her, just say it clearly. If you don’t like her, then don’t think about her secretly!
Why was she acting like a coward even though she was standing in front of him?
Jiang Wan's breathing was short and rapid, and every breath he took seemed to be searching for the last trace of air.
Good, very good!
You're just being tough with her and playing hard to get with her, right?
Okay, whoever comes crying and begging her to come back is a dog!
Jiang Wan suppressed the swelling in his heart, forced a smile and patted Chen Mu on the shoulder, "Oh, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I'm just joking with you, please don't take it seriously! The rest of our team are outside, can you let them in? Or, do you go out to meet them?"
After hearing this, Chen Mu slowly turned his head away, his jawline tense and his eyes dark and gloomy.
After a long while, he opened his thin lips and said, "Okay, I'll go out and meet them."
Jiang Wan smiled and nodded, pretending not to notice his abnormality.
The two of them went out one after the other. Chu Yu and his group had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Captain, please introduce Chen Mu."
"Chen Mu, this is our captain, Chu Yu."
Chu Yu smiled and wanted to extend his hand to say hello, but then he remembered the genius's quirk and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
With Jiang Wan acting as a middleman, the two groups were able to chat for a while. None of them were professionals. The doctor in the team came out and asked Chen Mu about the latest progress in the drug to suppress the zombie virus.
Jiang Wan stood aside, listening to their conversation and nodding from time to time to show his agreement.
At this moment, Chu Mingsheng walked up to her side, poked her arm, and asked softly: "Jiang Wan, is he your relative?"
Jiang Wan shook his head.
"Your classmate?"
Jiang Wan continued to shake his head and said impatiently: "Checking the household registration? I already said we are friends, are you done yet?"
Chu Mingsheng pouted and muttered softly, "We are all in the same team. What's wrong with me caring more about my teammates?"
It was just a simple sentence, but Jiang Wan was so perceptive that she immediately turned her head and looked up and down at Chu Mingsheng in surprise.
She was in a hurry to get there before, so she didn't pay much attention to the things around her. Now that she has calmed down, she feels that Chu Mingsheng is very strange...
Could it be that he likes her?
However, before Jiang Wan could figure it out, he felt a burning gaze coming from behind him.
When she looked back, she met that pair of dark and deep eyes, like an unfathomable pool of water, revealing a chilling coldness. When she looked at him dimly, she felt inexplicably guilty.
No, why is she feeling guilty? She didn't do anything wrong, why did Chen Mu look at her like that?
Jiang Wan was not willing to be outdone. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him. She smiled innocently, as if she had no idea what was going on.
The air pressure around them dropped by several degrees. Chu Yu and his teammates looked back and forth at Jiang Wan, Chen Mu and Chu Mingsheng, winking at each other as if they were communicating something.
After a moment, Chen Mu looked away and everything returned to normal.
......
There were too many things in Chen Mu's laboratory that could not be moved, so the team members patrolled the surroundings to make sure there were no hidden risks. Finally, Chu Yu and Gu Qingpei decided that the team would settle nearby.
Chen Mu was not used to other people entering his house, and they did not force him. Instead, they each looked for a suitable house to live in nearby, and Jiang Wan was among them.
Jiang Wan had her doubts from the beginning, always wondering if Chu Mingsheng was interested in her. It wasn't until she moved into her new home and Chu Mingsheng was busy helping her clean up that Jiang Wan was about 80% sure.
"Chu Mingsheng, do you like me?"
Chu Mingsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, wiping the floor with his butt sticking out, was startled. He looked up blankly and stammered, "Ah...what are you talking about? How can I..."
"Oh, that's good." Jiang Wan interrupted him directly, "I already have someone I like. If you really like me, then I really don't know how to end it."
Chu Mingsheng thought he was going to face the confession scene head-on, and his heart, which had not moved for many years, was shaking wildly with excitement. But the next moment, a basin of cold water fell from the sky, chilling him to the bone.
Chu Mingsheng pretended to be nothing and said "oh" to Jiang Wan. When he turned around, where Jiang Wan couldn't see, his face fell and he started crying silently on the spot.
After explaining everything to Chu Mingsheng, Jiang Wan no longer had any psychological burden.
But in the following period of time, Chu Mingsheng became more diligent than before. His intention was so obvious that even the other members of the team realized something was wrong. Whenever the two of them appeared, they would look at them with a teasing look.
It’s not that Jiang Wan didn’t tell Chu Mingsheng about it, but he insisted that there was no personal relationship and that he just wanted to repay Jiang Wan for saving his life. Now that things have come to this, Jiang Wan has no way to refuse.
Chu Mingsheng was too nice to her, and she remained unmoved even when Jiang Wan gave her the cold shoulder. Gradually, Jiang Wan felt guilty and always felt that she was a female bully who bullied a good boy.
But a short pain is worse than a long one. Jiang Wan knew very well what his mission was, and he also knew that there was no possibility between him and him. Compared with giving Chu Mingsheng hope now and letting him experience despair in the future, this guilt was nothing.
Chen Mu still stayed in the laboratory all day and Jiang Wan couldn't go looking for him. He could only follow Chu Yu's orders and go out with the team members in groups to collect supplies.
People who have connections with the higher-ups are domineering. When Jiang Wan saw that Chu Mingsheng was assigned to the same group as her, she couldn't help but frown.
There was no other reason, but Chu Mingsheng was too useless. When he encountered zombies, he just hid behind her.
At this time, Chu Yu stood up and said, "Wanwan, there is nothing we can do. You are the best in the team, and he is the weakest one, so you just need to take care of each other. You have worked so hard."
Jiang Wan had no choice but to agree, but her dislike came from the inside out. Soon, Chu Mingsheng decided to learn a lesson and sum up his experience. After returning, he shamelessly asked Jiang Wan to teach him how to exercise.
Even though Chu Yu added diluted spiritual spring water to their daily drinking water, there were still too many impurities in their bodies and they could not awaken their superpowers in the short term. For the time being, they still relied mainly on their physical strength.
With the excuse of wanting to improve himself and not wanting to drag down the team, plus Chu Yu's support, it was difficult for Jiang Wan to refuse.
Looking at Chu Mingsheng's high-spirited face, Jiang Wan smiled instead of getting angry. She wanted her to teach, right? If she didn't train Chu Mingsheng to be afraid of her, she wouldn't be Jiang Wan!
With the intention of making Chu Mingsheng give up, Jiang Wan called everyone out for extra practice at three o'clock in the morning when everyone was sleeping soundly.
Looking at Chu Mingsheng who was squatting in horse stance in front of him, Jiang Wan smiled happily, and helped him adjust his posture with his hands from time to time.
But she never expected that all this was seen by a figure not far away...
