AAISBMEBF Chapter 39: Meng Jiangtian's Coldness
| Previous | Table of Contents | Next |
“Brother Jiangtian, could you give me a box of food too? If you're gone for too long, at least I won't be hungry anymore.
And I don’t have anyone to protect me over there. I’m scared. I want to stay with Cui Xisheng. Zhao Jiake can protect us, and I can take care of Cui Xisheng.
I’m a girl. I know how to take care of people better than him, that big guy. Look at Cui Xisheng’s face, it’s worse than yesterday. He definitely doesn’t know how to take care of anyone.”
“You can’t blame me. Cui Xisheng’s face is much better than yesterday. I know how to take care of people. Stop talking nonsense.” Zhao Jiake immediately jumped in to refute.
If Meng Jiangtian truly blamed him for not taking care of Cui Xisheng, Zhao Jiake knew his life would be in danger.
Cui Xisheng also frowned as he listened to Liu Anna’s words. He definitely didn’t want that "white lotus" to take care of him.
According to the usual plot in novels, staying with a "white lotus" would only lead to him being misunderstood by the male protagonist in various ways.
With a baby on the way, he couldn’t afford to be tormented by this "white lotus."
Before he could even refuse, Zhao Jiake had already gotten more agitated than he was. Cui Xisheng couldn’t be bothered to speak anymore. However, Meng Jiangtian’s gaze made him uncomfortable.
Meng Jiangtian looked at Cui Xisheng for a moment. Cui Xisheng had eaten a few more pieces of bread today, and his complexion was indeed better than yesterday.
So, Meng Jiangtian chose to trust Zhao Jiake and said to Liu Anna, “Once you’re done eating, go over. You don’t have food, so no one will target you. Also, they won’t dare have any ill intentions towards you anymore.”
With a grim expression, Meng Jiangtian turned his head, glancing at the three boys still writhing and screaming on the ground.
A cold smile appeared on his face as he addressed the crowd, “No one is allowed to help them. Whether they live or die is up to their own fate.”
“Liu Anna and Cui Xisheng are my friends. Anyone who dares to target them will see these three as their example.”
His cold, harsh tone made everyone shudder. Many were relieved they hadn’t rushed forward earlier, or they would probably be missing their legs now.
Seeing the crowd quiet down, Meng Jiangtian turned back to Zhao Jiake, “Where are the three ability users?”
“They said they were going out to look for food in the morning. They haven’t returned yet.” Zhao Jiake replied, his voice trembling.
Though he had mentally prepared himself for the harshness of the apocalypse, just one day in, he had already witnessed such bloodshed. He had never seen anything like it before.
Zhao Jiake suddenly realized how true the saying "life means nothing in the apocalypse" really was. Meng Jiangtian appeared indifferent, and his attitude toward life seemed to be just as cold.
Zhao Jiake looked at Meng Jiangtian and couldn’t help but feel regret. If he ever accidentally angered Meng Jiangtian, would he also be cut down in an instant?
“Have they been gone for so long? I’ll go take a look. You stay here and keep an eye on him.” Meng Jiangtian glanced at Cui Xisheng and then disappeared in a gust of wind.
Liu Anna stared at Meng Jiangtian’s back, her eyes almost popping out of her head.
Meng Jiangtian had only looked at Cui Xisheng, and only asked Zhao Jiake to protect him. He hadn’t even mentioned her, and he left without sparing her a glance.
Did he even see her? Did he even consider her his girlfriend?
What went wrong? How had their relationship become so cold all of a sudden?
It was all because of Cui Xisheng. Since he arrived, Meng Jiangtian’s attitude toward her had changed.
Liu Anna glared at Cui Xisheng with resentment, but then she realized he was looking directly at her. She quickly shifted her expression, putting on a smile.
Now wasn’t the time to fall out with Cui Xisheng.
