Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 600 Perfect Wife Candidate

Ji Mu did it on purpose, snitching in a dark manner.

After all, the few boys earlier were too despicable, stealing a female classmate’s car and teasing her.

Fortunately, Gu Yan had a rather special identity, so they only dared to verbally taunt her for a bit. If she had been one of those pretty students without any background, she might truly have been bullied.

Sitting in the back seat, Gu Yan lowered her eyes and said with a hint of melancholy, "It’s because I’m too weak."

If she had been as strong as her two brothers, she wouldn’t have encountered such a situation at all. She wouldn’t have needed Brother Little Mushroom’s intervention; she could have taken care of those bullies in an instant!

The next moment, Gu Yan felt her hand being held, and the warmth startled her slightly.

Looking up, she realized that Bai Li, sitting beside her, still had his eyes lowered, his expression unchanged.

But his hand was gripping Gu Yan’s tightly.

Because they were blocked by the seats in front, Ji Mu and Vivian, who were sitting ahead, wouldn’t notice their subtle movement.

For some reason, Gu Yan suddenly felt a tremor in her heart!

It was just like that time on the rooftop when Brother Little Mushroom had lightly kissed her between the brows...

Bai Li spoke up.

"Xiaoyan, don’t belittle yourself; you have your own unique strengths that are second to none."

Gu Yan had heard Brother Little Mushroom say this before, and she thought he must simply be consoling her.

Meanwhile, Ji Mu, driving in front, glanced at Bai Li in the rearview mirror.

His eyebrows raised.

I hadn’t noticed before, but this kid is pretty good at flirting!

On their way, they encountered more zombies, but they were slow and posed no threat. They also came across several groups of students, but those students were all in groups, the smallest group having four or five members. Since they already had four people, it wouldn’t work to take more, so Ji Mu just floored the accelerator and charged ahead.

Vivian hesitated before speaking up quietly, "Aren’t we going to stop and help the others?"

Ji Mu responded in disbelief, "Each of those groups has more people than us. Do you think stopping will result in them hijacking our car, or them asking for our help?"

Vivian fell silent.

Gu Yan said, "Ji Mu is right; they are in large groups. If one team decides to leave, they will surely want to take my car. If they abandon their teammates to leave in parts, then it shows they don’t care about their teammates, and they will probably care even less about us."

She might have grown up pampered, but she wasn’t overly naive, especially after just having had a close call with car theft.

Impressed, Ji Mu said, "Junior Gu, you are really clear-headed. This assessment matters a lot for each student’s final credits. If the score is too low, there will be penalties. They won’t go as far as to harm a classmate’s life, but stealing a car is still risky enough for some to take that chance."

Bai Li, though silent, cast a displeased look at Ji Mu.

This damn butterfly is still using the mirror to make faces at Xiaoyan!

They finally arrived safely at the entrance to the deserted city. Since they had to cross a bridge, the car couldn’t go any further. Some cars were already parked, and some engines were still warm, indicating those people had left not long ago. Since each major had different mission requirements, and some had difficult tasks that needed to be completed quickly, they might have been rushed.

Gu Yan said, "Bai Li, you go complete your tasks. We’ll find a safe place on the outskirts of the city to stay put for a while."

"No need to rush to separate. I’ll know where you’ll be settling down in the end. If I finish my task and there’s still time, I’ll come find you."

"Hmm."

Watching the two chatting away familiarity, Ji Mu assertively joined the conversation. He said, "Gu Yan, do you guys have enough food with you?"

The task of the College of Humanities was very simple—to stay alive.

But the Space Button that allowed transportation of food had been temporarily disabled, which meant during these 24 hours, they either had to soldier through or find food.

Of course, the difficulty of this task was much smaller compared to that of other majors.

Gu Yan: "We plan to find a safe place and then look for food. Although it’s a deserted city setting, since they require us to survive here, there will surely be food."

As they talked, they entered the city. There were also quite a few zombies shambling around, but their speed was still very slow, and even with Gu Yan’s poor physical abilities, the zombies couldn’t catch up with her.

Just don’t be unlucky enough to get surrounded, that’s all.

Bai Li took a quick look around. There really wasn’t much danger on the periphery. There were just zombies, but they moved slowly, and Xiaoyan would definitely have enough time to run if she detected danger.

It wasn’t until Gu Yan and her group entered a residential area that looked less severely damaged that Bai Li and Ji Mu turned around and headed towards the hospital in the city center.

Once they were at a distance, Ji Mu nudged Bai Li’s shoulder with his arm and said, "You boy, didn’t see it coming, huh? You don’t talk much normally, but you sure know how to flirt. What, you’re thinking of pursuing Gu Yan too?"

Bai Li frowned slightly as he looked at him.

Ji Mu said, "Don’t be shy. Gu Yan is beautiful, has a great personality, and her family background is out there for all to see. Who wouldn’t like her? Not to mention us Insectoids—if you talk about the girls among the new students at Empire University, who doesn’t talk about Gu Yan?"

Bai Li looked at him coldly. "Who all is there?"

Ji Mu speechless, "What do you mean ’who all is there’? Plenty of people, alright? After all, Gu Yan is considered by many as the perfect candidate for a wife! Not to mention, she’s the only daughter of Gu Jue and the only younger sister of Gu Chen. If somebody married her, well, in Landis Star, that would be an instant rise to heaven!"

Bai Li: "..."

At that moment, a zombie suddenly charged out from nearby, its teeth bared and claws flailing, aiming for a bite. In the next instant, its head exploded.

Ji Mu was dumbfounded.

Ah, who was quick on the draw? They didn’t have any weapons, did they?

However, by the time Ji Mu looked up, Bai Li had already strode far ahead.

On the other side, Gu Yan and Vivian had entered the residential area and encountered a few scattered zombies. Now, those zombies merely seemed a little ugly to them; they didn’t provoke any other feelings.

When the two passed by the supermarket of the residential complex, they stopped in their tracks.

The door of the supermarket was already broken, and dried blood stains on the door handle suggested that the people inside either turned into zombies or had long since fled.

Oh, according to the background setting, they didn’t even know whether there were any humans left who hadn’t turned into zombies.

Gu Yan: "Let’s go in and have a look, see if we can find any food, or even just some water would be fine."

In fact, Vivian was a Beastman, and not eating or drinking for 24 hours was not a big issue for her—her spiritual power would only be slightly weakened. But Gu Yan couldn’t afford that.

Gu Yan quickly realized this and said, "You stay outside, find a safe place and wait for me, I’ll go have a look."

If she went without food or water for 24 hours, she might become a burden to Vivian.

And then she wouldn’t even be able to outrun a zombie.
