What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

Chapter 107 Jiang Yue is a Child Bride

After everyone else left, Lu Yize looked at Jiang Yue, who had been resting for a while, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Jiang Yue remained silent, seemingly unaware of the impact of Sheng Xue's supernatural power flashing through her mind. She appeared dazed and confused.

He was squatting on the ground, clutching his head, seemingly trying to process something.

"Go back inside, it's cold here."

Lu Yize felt that raising zombies was already bizarre enough, and he didn't want to add another strange hobby of raising ice sculptures.

Jiang Yue was already quite cold, and now that it was cold, her body temperature was icy. She looked up at Lu Yize, as if she was sizing him up, or perhaps she was thinking about him.

Jiang Yue stared at Lu Yize for a long time, as if she had finally figured it out, and slowly approached Lu Yize.

She wrapped her arms around him, leaned against his back, and affectionately rubbed her head against his neck.

Lu Yize didn't indulge her. "What are you doing?"

Jiang Yue seemed not to hear him, staring straight at his profile.

After a brief standoff, Lu Yize sighed, got up, and resignedly carried Jiang Yue back on his back, lifting her slightly higher and putting his hands under her knees.

There was some distance between the base center and their accommodation. Jiang Yue remained silent and motionless, maintaining this posture and staring at Lu Yize.

After a long pause, she finally said, "Carry me on your back."

"Ah."

Lu Yize didn't take it seriously. Hadn't he carried Jiang Yue on his back countless times? He couldn't even count how many times he had done so.

Jiang Yue tilted her head, a hint of happiness on her face, and rubbed her cheek against Lu Yize's face, calling out in a coquettish tone, "Brother."

Lu Yize stopped in his tracks, his face dark and his eyes sharp as he retorted, "Who are you calling?"

He hadn't taken Jiang Yue's childhood "brother" seriously, but now... well, it's best if some so-called childhood sweetheart comes along.

Jiang Yue didn't understand why he was suddenly unhappy and even wanted to put her down. Jiang Yue refused and immediately hugged him even tighter.

Lu Yize let go, and in her haste, Jiang Yue called out in a wronged tone, "Brother Hanzi."

Lu Yize, suddenly attacked by his lost memories: ...

Lu Yize had a former name that no one had ever mentioned: Lu Hanzi.

It was his uneducated father who gave him the name, saying that a humble name would make him easier to raise.

Including his past life, no one has called him that for at least several decades, and those who knew his name are all long gone.

But now, as Jiang Yue uttered this name, Lu Yize glanced at the zombie on his back, wondering where she had gotten the information.

Lu Yize's face remained cold and hard, but he did not put Jiang Yue down again. He simply said, "Don't call me that."

Jiang Yue felt that reality overlapped with the images in her mind, and she hummed happily.

Her reaction brought back a long-buried memory for Lu Yize, as if he had indeed carried someone on his back like that before.

Lu Yize had a poor childhood, living in a place deep in the mountains.

Lu Yize's biological father was a rough, uneducated man who knew nothing but how to make a living by farming.

His mother also refused to go out, staying indoors all day, unilaterally isolating the entire village.

From a modern perspective, it's unbelievable that there are such backward and remote places, and such a group of ignorant people.

The distant and hazy memories were deliberately downplayed by Lu Yize, just like his name, Lu Hanzi, which he tried to avoid mentioning.

Lu Yize placed Jiang Yue on the bed and examined her features. Now that he looked at her closely, she did look somewhat familiar.

Lu Yize has a good memory and remembers things from when he was very young, but he deliberately didn't think about them before.

Now that Jiang Yue has reminded him to this extent, he's unlikely to suffer from amnesia.

“We’ve met before.” Lu Yize stood up and looked down at Jiang Yue, who was sitting on the bed, and said confidently.

Jiang Yue had just unexpectedly recalled those memories, remembering them clearly, and nodded happily in response, "Yes!"

Lu Yize touched her earlobe with satisfaction, trying to match the current Jiang Yue with his vague memories.

When Lu Yize was seven years old, he was still called Lu Hanzi.

Two people came to their village that day, acting suspiciously as they carried a shoulder pole, then dropped it and left.

When Lu Hanzi's biological father got up early to work, he opened the container and found a little girl inside, who looked like a doll. She was a few years younger than his son.

He had a sudden thought: it's hard to find a wife these days, so why not just take this little girl home and raise her as a child bride for his son!

Anyway, if he finds it here, it's his!

So when Lu Hanzi got up, he was met with a pair of teary eyes, like fried eggs from crying.

The child is quite cute, with fair skin and chubby cheeks, like freshly picked cotton. He looks very easy to bite. He cries without making a sound, but his face turns a little red from crying.

"Who are you?"

Lu Hanzi has always had a poker face since he was a child, and he never gives anyone a nice look.

The child in front of him immediately buried his face in his short legs, pretending not to see his fierce-looking older brother, and started to whine.

Lu Hanzi grabbed the person and pulled them up, frowning in displeasure, "Why are you crying? I didn't bully you."

Seeing that she was still scared, Lu Hanzi's face turned fierce. "Don't cry. Tell me your name."

The child in front of him was so frightened that he choked, "Yue, Yueyue."

"A cloyingly sweet name, it's awful," Lu Hanzi scoffed.

No wonder Lu Yize thought Jiang Yue looked familiar; it turns out they had met when they were children.

Lu Yize looked at Jiang Yue, who had grown up, and tapped his arm with his arms crossed. So this is what the little girl who only knew how to cry with her bottom sticking out when she was a child looked like when she grew up.

After going around in circles, she still became his wife.

Back when his father brought Jiang Yue back, it seemed like he wanted her to be his child bride.

However, his mother, who still had a conscience, absolutely disagreed, believing that Jiang Yue, whom he had raised so well, must have been abducted, and that her parents must be extremely anxious.

She resolutely refused to do such a heartless thing, which caused a big argument between Lu Yize's parents.

However, these memories are somewhat vague for Lu Yize, after all, his parents have been gone for many years, and he himself has died once.

Seeing Lu Yize sit down, Jiang Yue quietly crawled over and rested her head on his lap.

She couldn't understand Lu Yize's feelings at that moment, but she felt that Lu Yize needed her by his side.

Lu Yize stroked Jiang Yue's hair; the bluish-green bloodstains unique to zombies were gradually fading from her forehead.

However, her still jade-colored skin further emphasized the fact that Jiang Yue was not human.

Once a person turns into a zombie, they can no longer become a human.

Lu Yize fiddled with Jiang Yue's stray hairs, but his eyes were devoid of warmth.

What kind of parents would repeatedly lose their daughters, once when she was little and again now?

Since they don't care, then Jiang Yue will be under his control.
