DOOMSDAY ECSTASY CAVE (348)
348. SAME KIND
Bai Luo looked at Chu Youning with weakness washing all over his body. She was looking at him coldly at this moment, just like the ice cone stuck in the palm of his hand. However, there was a deceptive smile on the corner of her mouth. Her beauty was beyond doubt, but what Bai Luo sees was actually the soul that was shining brightly with a million rays of light.
How can a woman, who was still a plaything for men's entertainment in the last days, be so beautiful and flamboyant to this degree? So beautiful and dazzling with self-confident that people can't look away.
"Actually... we are the same kind!" Bai Luo stated lazily, but his eyes were fixed on Chu Youning without blinking for a moment.
They were both the same kind of people whose bodies were wandering in the world, but their spirits were detached from the outside and looks down on everyone.
In fact, Bai Luo had a precocious mind, and had been able to understand the conflicts of interests in the power circle since he was a child. He was fed up, yet unable to break free. In the end, he could only let himself live in a daze, mingling with those filthy people, and watching their ugly desires with the cool and detached eyes of a bystander.
Just like when his mother killed his father's white-moonlight. He knew about it, but he did not stop it. He was like a spectator, wondering how vile human nature can get while watching their performance with anticipation. Until the end of the world came, and he accidentally met that woman's daughter...
[白月光- Bái yuè guāng- white-moonlight- (m.)it usually refers to the unreachable person or thing in the heart, always loved but unable to touch...Originally from Eileen Chang's novel "Red Rose and White Rose ".]
How should he put it, that girl was very interesting. She was simple minded but was very resilient. She was usually silent, but she was not like the vast majority of women who only knew to cry when they saw the end times' arrival.
The girl was the first person in their group to take up a weapon to resist the zombies. Her movements were not skilled, but she carried a courageous momentum. Although it took some twists and turns, she still killed the zombie in the end.
The girl had awakened the speed ability, which was a very practical ability in the early days of the end times. So it was the girl who protected everyone in the early stage.
Later, Bai Luo also awakened the wood-type supernatural ability. Although the combat power was not strong, the ability had a certain healing effect. Fortunately, he had a good brain; he formulated many brilliant tactics, so he was elected as the captain by everyone.
Wei Ziwei had a lot of troublesome things at that time. Like a princess disease, she insisted to have everyone's attention on her. However, Bai Luo prefers to be close to ordinary-looking and quiet girls.
[公主病- gōng zhǔ bìn- Princess disease- used to describe a condition of narcissism and materialism in women, or "princess" behaviour. It also refers to some women who have too much self-confidence and demand princess-like treatment.]
The girl was a bit withdrawn and didn't like to be in contact with people, but even if she did not fit in with everyone else, she would still lend a helping hand when others were in distress.
To be honest, it's very comfortable to get along with such a person. There's no need to worry that she would do harmful things for the sake of profit, and there's also no need to deal with those useless little thoughts and tricks that were unique to women.
In fact, Bai Luo did not want to be with the girl, because he knew that her mother died at his mother's hands. So he wouldn't make such a move(to kill Wei Ziwei) that would lead to trouble just for that tiny bit of fondness.
However, Wei Ziwei was too annoying. Just because Bai Luo ignored her, she started doing all kinds of things to court disaster, either targeting the girl or seducing him, which made Bai Luo so annoyed by her pestering that he finally revealed in front of everyone that the person he liked was the girl.
But he regretted it when he saw the girl's face blushing suddenly. This was probably an unwise decision.
Bai Luo knows that a marriage without love is destined to be a tragedy, just like his father and mother. His father was a good man and fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and a father, but because there was no love, their family life was like a job, lacking novelty and pleasant surprises.
In fact, his mother did not love his father either. However, the possessiveness of a rich lady was quite perverted. Even if she did not like it, she can't let others take advantage of it cheaply. So she bought the murder of the girl's mother.
