Chapter 6.07 – So round and green… (1)

Editor: DarkNaivety

When Gu Ming heard his words, she trembled and her words grew incoherent. “Do you blame me? For not going back to find you? But at that time, everyone had already left, I was alone… Moreover, I didn’t know where you were. Xiao Meng was also ill…”

Xiao Meng? Ill? They really had a child?

The team members pricked their ears up and listened, turning to look at Xu Yan Ze.

Xu Yan Ze was baffled: Why is everyone looking at me?

They immediately looked away and stared at the watermelon.

“Ah, look at this melon, so big and round. Just like Captain Xu’s head, so round and green…”

“Eat your melon.” Xu Yan Ze swiftly pulled out an ice knife and split the watermelon into half. The fragrant and sweet scent wafted out.

“That’s right, eat, eat.” The team nodded after seeing they knew each other. It was unlikely they’d start a fight, so it’s better to eat and watch.

Xiang Han was stunned. Could this bunch of idiots who only know how to eat be more serious in such a situation?

Forget it. In any case, the female lead can’t kill him at the moment, and eating melon was more important. If he didn’t hurry, that bunch of idiots will finish eating it.

So, Xiang Han simply said, “Xiao Ming, let’s talk about us later. You can do what you need first.” Hurry up and arrange the people on your side while I go eat some melon.

He didn’t wait for Gu Ming to react before squatting down.

Huh? Is that all? The others felt it was a pity while Xu Lele poked him and whispered, “Who is… Xiao Meng?”

Everyone pricked up their ears and even Xu Yan Ze couldn’t resist sparing him a glance.

“Uh…” Xiang Han thought for a bit and awkwardly explained. “She should be Gu Ming’s sister.” Then, he continued, “Gu Ming is my girlfriend.”

Xu Yan Ze’s knife fell ruthlessly. There was a crack and the ice knife broke in two.

Xiang Han immediately shut up. Xu Yan Ze glanced at him expressionlessly as he pulled out another knife.

For some reason, Xiang Han felt a chill.

Xu Lele poked him and whispered, “We know you have a girlfriend, no need to repeat.” Although it was nice to have some cool air in this warm weather, Captain Xu’s expression… tsk, too frightening.

“Speaking of which, are you two fighting? Why don’t you call her over to eat together?” Xu Lele continued to probe.

Once the others heard this, they looked over at her critically. It’s fine if there’s just one, but what if the whole bunch followed along? They only had so few melons…

Xiang Han swept a glance over Gu Ming and lowered his voice to speak when he saw her tremble slightly, “There’s probably… no need. Her side is pretty busy after all.”

Frankly speaking, he also couldn’t understand why she was angry. Wasn’t it great that ‘Wu Han’ didn’t bother her? Or was it because ‘Wu Han’ wasn’t dead? Or probably because he didn’t call her over to eat melon?

Xiang Han felt that the last possibility was unlikely. Gu Ming’s spatial dimension had a spiritual spring, herbs, and although there weren’t any fruits yet, she had begun to plant some. She couldn’t possibly take a fancy to his melon.

So it must be because ‘Wu Han’ wasn’t dead. It looks like the female lead’s grudge ran pretty deep. Xiang Han sucked in a cold breath.

Before this, the original host couldn’t be considered a superb boyfriend but he wasn’t terrible either. At least, when he was escaping, Gu Ming and her family could survive and the amount of money he paid wasn’t low. Such as the off-road vehicle she was driving now, it belonged to the original host and although it was Gu Ming who bought the pair of rings, it was the original host who paid for it.

Even in the previous world, it wasn’t the original host’s intention to hurt her. In terms of emotions, the original host was lacking, but he wasn’t a sicko that would drive his girlfriend to death. He merely wanted to hug more beauties. But Gu Ming hated him for getting together with her sister and never gave him an easy time. After a while, the original host’s feelings for her dulled.

When they were taking a break at Jiang Zhou, the original host only wanted to return home and reach Shuguang base. But his girlfriend refused to elope with him. She believed Jiang Zhou was big enough for them to live in. By then, the original host no longer had her in his heart, so he told her she could stay if she wanted to stay, but he would leave. Later on, not only did he want to leave, he even brought the female lead’s younger sister along, infuriating her.

Gu Ming wondered, if she had been the one to choose that ring, how could Wu Han possibly soar so high? She wasn’t resigned but dared not stay in the base alone. In the end, she was pushed into a horde of zombies by her sister while on the way to Shuguang base.

In his opinion, the female lead’s death resulted from her jealousy of her sister, so the fault ultimately lies with the original host. The female lead’s hatred was justifiable.

But if he looked at it from another angle, he paid for the ring. After her rebirth, she took the ring and schemed to abandon the original host. Wasn’t this considered revenge? The host was just lucky to come across Xu Yan Ze’s party or he would have been dead. There was no second death sentence, and so since there was no chance of them reconciling, it would be better to part amicably. Why did she have to cause them to become irreconcilable adversaries?

Xiang Han couldn’t understand why she refused to live properly after painstakingly coming back to life. The only answer he could come up with was that her grievance in her last life was too great, so she had blackened.

After her rebirth, her personality had become more extreme. Since she saw ‘Wu Han’ alive, she recalled the scene before her death and the hatred in her heart surged once more.

Especially when ‘Wu Han’ ignored her and laughed while talking to the girl beside him. Heh, this was indeed a scum, finding a new lover in the blink of an eye. She must have been blind to date him in the past.

After the rest of her party got out of the car, they saw her standing unsteadily alone and some even went up to ask her what’s wrong.

Among those people present, apart from Gu Ming, there was also Gu Meng and their father. The others were mercenaries and their captain was called Cheng Hai.

Cheng Hai could be considered the male lead but at this point, he was only good friends with Gu Ming and not yet confessed.

When he saw Gu Ming standing there tearfully, Cheng Hai felt an inexplicable heartache. Following her gaze, he saw Xiang Han.

Cheng Hai knew this man usually did not care about Gu Ming. He only thought about returning home yet Gu Ming’s heart only had him. After he disappeared, she wanted to return to look for him but thankfully, Gu Meng was sick without anyone to care for her. So, she could only give up.

Cheng Hai had no goodwill towards ‘Wu Han’, feeling that he wasn’t worthy of Gu Ming. Especially since Gu Ming awakened an ability a few days ago, this pretty boy with nothing but a good family background wasn’t worthy of her at all.

Now, Gu Ming was crying yet ‘Wu Han’ was squatting around and eating melon as if there weren’t other people around. Fury filled his heart.

‘Wu Han’ had disappeared for so many days, causing Gu Ming to worry but look at him! He obviously didn’t put Gu Ming in his eyes at all. In just a few days, he was already fooling around with other people.

He abruptly stepped forward and lifted Xiang Han up.

Xu Yan Ze’s party saw someone rush over and immediately picked up their weapons, thinking he was here to snatch their melon. When Cheng Hai’s party saw this, they too took out their weapons. The atmosphere immediately grew tense.

Cheng Hai hadn’t expected such an outcome, so he could only stifle his feelings for a long time before forcing out a single line. “Are you still a man? You were missing for so long, Gu Ming couldn’t even eat or sleep well. How can you still eat melon while she’s crying like that?

Xiang Han looked at Gu Ming, then turned to Cheng Hai to ask, “How did you know she hasn’t slept well?”

He felt that this person was too strange. It was understandable if Gu Ming hated him but what the heck was Cheng Hai rushing up for? Didn’t you freaking sit in that military vehicle and eat the food left behind by the host?

Cheng Hai choked while Gu Ming began to cry even more terribly. “Wu Han, what are you trying to say? Don’t think that just because you’re always fooling around, everyone’s as filthy as you.”

Sis, the host has not yet fooled around and it’s even more impossible for me to do so! Xiang Han felt a headache. He hadn’t even fooled his wife yet.

Always fooling around? No wonder he was so dishonest since their first meeting. Xu Yan Ze brutally snapped an ice blade without any expression. “Go to the side if you have matters to resolve. Don’t disturb the others from resting.”

Xiang Han heard this and glanced over Cheng Hai once more. Then, he forcefully pried apart his fingers and bent down to take a hold of two pieces of melon.

Cheng Hai thought they were for Gu Ming and reached out a hand to receive it. Unexpectedly, Xiang Han passed it to Xu Lele and whispered, “Help me to take care of them. I’ll be back soon.”

Cheng Hai was standing nearby and felt odd when he heard this.

Gu Ming couldn’t hear it and simply thought Xiang Han had given the melon to Xu Lele for her to eat and felt bitter. ‘Xiang Han’ was a pampered young master with the world revolving around him so he rarely considered others’ feelings. In the last world, they had been together for three years but he never once helped her to take food, let alone a piece of melon. Now, he actually knew how to give a girl melon. Could she have been a joke in her last life?

Just as her thoughts began to run wild, Xiang Han had already walked towards them. At the side, Gu Meng saw him and softly greeted him with a ‘brother-in-law’.

Once Gu Ming heard this, hatred flashed through her eyes, causing Xiang Han more headaches. “Let’s talk under the shade in the tree over there.”

After they went over, Xiang Han was the first to ask. “Why is it only you guys left?”

Half a month ago, the southern base was destroyed and thousands of people fled along with them. Once they reached City X, the female lead left a week earlier than Xu Yan Ze’s party but now, they were actually behind. Moreover, there were only a few people left. It was easy to imagine that they must have met a horde of zombies and ended up separated.

Xiang Han knew but he still asked out of courtesy.

After listening to the female lead’s half-truths and half-lies, he coughed lightly and began to breach the main point. “Xiao Ming, I’ve been thinking about it recently. I realised that we may not be suitable together. Forcing ourselves to stay together won’t make us happy, so it’s better if we broke up.”

Lady, you have already taken your revenge. Let’s part amicably.

Gu Ming was stunned before letting out a cold laugh. “Not suitable? Isn’t it because you found a new lover?”
