154 That Woman Is a Tigress

At that time, he was too focused on escaping that he did not realize it. After returning to his room, Zhang Zepeng realized that his clothes had been cut open by the dagger, and the flesh under the cut was covered in red blood. Although the wound was not deep, it still scared Zhang Zepeng so much that he was sweating.

The dagger that Du Yue had used to hurt him was extremely sharp. Her actions were also fast and ruthless. If Du Yue had used a little more force just now, even if he could save his life, his bone would probably be visible from the wound on his body.

The more Zhang Zepeng thought about it, the more scared he became. In the end, he could not stop his body from trembling. At this moment, Wu Di came out of his bedroom when he heard footsteps. Seeing that Zhang Zepeng had returned alone, Wu Di’s expression was a little unhappy. “Why did you come back by yourself? Didn’t you tell her that I was about to faint?”

Zhang Zepeng was still trembling uncontrollably. When he heard Wu Di talking to him, his body trembled as he turned his head to look at Wu Di. Seeing Zhang Zepeng’s shocked expression, Wu Di was a little puzzled. “Why are you shaking like that? What just happened?”

“Why didn’t you tell me that the woman was a tigress?” Zhang Zepeng’s eyes were filled with blame.

“Tigress? You mean Du Yue? Did you talk to the wrong person?” Wu Di asked him in return. “Do you think I don’t know Du Yue’s personality? Although her family used to be rich and powerful, and her grades were usually good, she was basically invisible in class. She didn’t like to talk and was weak. And even if it’s the apocalypse, she’s just a fair and tender young girl. How could she be a tigress?”

“Gentle and weak?” Zhang Zepeng could not help but shout, “Wu Di, I treat you like a friend, but you treat me like an idiot! Take a good look at my wound! It was your weak and gentle former classmate who did it!”

Wu Di was stunned. Although he did see the wound on Zhang Zepeng’s body, he still felt that Du Yue could not have done it. “How could this be?” he asked. “She’s just a young lady. How could she have cut you like this?”

“You’ve seen it with your own eyes and you still say it’s impossible? If it wasn’t her, then who else could it be? Do you think I’d randomly cut myself with a knife? If I hadn’t acted so quickly just now, you would have to go out and collect my corpse!”

Zhang Zepeng’s clothes were in a mess, and there was an obvious wound on his body. They were a reminder to Wu Di that everything Zhang Zepeng had said was true. However, Wu Di still could not believe it. “But… we were classmates, after all. How could she be so heartless?”

Zhang Zepeng sneered, “I’m afraid you’re the only one who still feels that there’s a relationship between you two! She said that she didn’t even speak much to you in school! Besides, open your eyes and see what era we’re in! It’s the apocalypse! How many people now would abandon their family and friends for their own survival? You’re just a former classmate of hers who has no relationship with her! You were the one who kept saying that Du Yue was your former classmate and that you two had feelings for each other in the past. You asked me to help you find out more information. You told me to put on an act with you and said that you would share some of the resources you got from her with me when you two got together. Not only did I not get the supplies, but I was also cut to this extent by your former classmate! You have to pay for my medical expenses! I’m injured now, and I need to eat meat to recover as soon as possible! Hurry up and buy two chickens and come back to make soup for me!”

…

Du Yue and He Xing did not go upstairs immediately after seeing Zhang Zepeng run home in fear. Not only did they not go upstairs, but the two of them even stood at the door of their house, listening attentively to the conversation between the two men inside. Du Yue and He Xing went upstairs after they figured out what the two of them were up to.

After passing through the gate and standing in the corridor, Du Yue tilted her head at He Xing. “Your house or mine?”

“Let’s go to your house! You can change into your pajamas in your bedroom. It’ll be more comfortable for you,” He Xing said.

When Du Yue heard this, she could not help but give He Xing an appreciative look. She did not expect an alien like him to be so open-minded. They had not been together for long, but he already knew her preferences.

When they arrived at Du Yue’s house, He Xing did not follow her straight into the bedroom. Instead, he stood in the living room and waited for her to change into her pajamas. After opening the bedroom door, He Xing entered. All the supplies they brought back were kept in Du Yue’s interspace so that the two of them would not have to carry all the bags upstairs.
