Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You

Chapter 97 Peeping Tom

Su Shanshan chuckled. She did not panic even though she was found out. She jumped down from the tree and walked to the side of the military truck. The military truck was too high. She stood by the car but could not see Gu Jincheng. She knocked on the door and said, “I’m so cold. Let me in.”

“It’s in the middle of the night. It’s not appropriate for a girl like you to knock on my door.” Gu Jincheng did not know why he was so patient with this woman.

“Achoo!” Su Shanshan suddenly sneezed.

​ The next second, the car door opened.

When Su Shanshan looked up, she saw Gu Jincheng’s cold expression. She smiled slightly and quickly climbed into the car. Without looking away, she snuggled into Gu Jincheng’s arms. This kind of warm feeling made Su Shanshan have the urge to cry. After eight years in her previous life and so much hardship in this life, she had finally returned to this embrace.

As soon as Su Shanshan got into the small car, the temperature started to rise. Gu Jincheng felt that his throat was a little dry. He was not against contact with this woman.

“Ms. Su, please conduct yourself respectfully!” Gu Jincheng said with a hoarse voice.

Su Shanshan’s eyes reddened. She buried her face in his chest and rubbed it against him, asking, “Gu Jincheng, do you really not remember me? Will you really be better off if you forget me?” This had been tormenting her these past few days. If Gu Jincheng had forgotten about her, he would not have died for her, and the tragedy of her previous life would not have happened. Is this not what I want? she thought. Is it really right for me to get close to him

again?

Gu Jincheng wanted to say something, but he suddenly felt a dampness in his chest. Is she crying? he wondered.

He did not know what to say. He was already sure that he had forgotten something about this woman, but his body did not forget. For the past year, he had felt empty inside, living like a zombie every day. It was not until he saw this woman that his heart started to beat. Only then did he feel that he was a living person. However, the pain that followed made him unable to control his emotions. He tried his best to recall what had happened previously. The sharp pain in his head made his body tremble lightly.

Su Shanshan sensed that something was wrong. She looked up and realized that Gu Jincheng’s expression was very awful. She asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?” Gu Jincheng’s expression was miserable, and cold sweat kept trickling down his forehead. But his expression was still calm. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Let me think about what happened between us previously.”

These words caused Su Shanshan to break down completely. Tears blurred her eyes as she asked, “What if you remember some bad things? Will you regret it?” Gu Jincheng frowned. He had a subconscious feeling that what he forgot was the most important thing to him. Whether it was good or bad, he had to remember. He hated situations that were out of his control.

He did not answer. He closed his eyes and tried his best to resist the pain coming from his head. When Su Shanshan saw his pained expression, her heart ached as she held his head and said, “Don’t think about it, don’t think about it. We’ll take it slow. You’ll remember eventually. Gu Jincheng… I just want you to be fine.”

These words brought an image into Gu Jincheng’s mind. A woman whose face he could not see clearly was looking at him. There was a zombie’s hand in the woman’s chest. He wanted to save her, but he could only watch helplessly.

“No,” he shouted and instinctively tightened his grip on Su Shanshan’s waist. He felt as if the person who had been pierced by the zombie was him. A sharp pain shot from his heart.

His voice attracted Chen Da’s attention. He walked to the car and saw Gu Jincheng hugging a woman through the open window. This woman seemed to be Su Shanshan.

Su Shanshan! Chen Da thought in horror. He wondered if he had offended the lady boss.

Gu Jincheng calmed down. The suffocating pain in his chest disappeared. He let go of his hands and looked at Su Shanshan, who was sitting on his lap, and said with a calm gaze, “No matter who you are, before the matter is cleared up, you can stay by my side.”

Su Shanshan was about to say something when she heard a rustling sound. It was very soft, and if Su Shanshan had not kept her guard up, she would not have heard it.
