Chapter 32: Sorry, I'm Not a Simp
And she would become lunch for the zombies, torn limb from limb just like the others.
However, just then, the frantic pounding on the iron gate suddenly ceased...
Tang Jingyan wiped away her tears, stood up in surprise, and curiously took a few steps forward. She wanted to peer through the hole in the iron gate to see what had happened outside.
Through the hole, she discovered that the two zombies that had been frantically attacking the gate had vanished. Even all the other ordinary zombies had vanished without a trace.
Only a figure holding a Mo-dao stood outside the gate.
"Open the door." Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside.
This figure and this voice were very familiar. She knew it was the same young man who had rescued Lin Mancha before.
Tang Jingyan hurriedly pushed the exercise equipment aside, then opened the iron gate and let Xiao Yi walk in.
As soon as Xiao Yi entered, he looked around and asked, "Are you the only one left?"
Tang Jingyan nodded. Having watched the people around her die gruesome deaths one by one, her heart had become somewhat numb. "There was another girl who went crazy and fell from upstairs to her death."
After a pause, Tang Jingyan asked nervously, "Thank you for saving me! Did you come specifically to save me? How is Mancha doing at your place now?"
Xiao Yi glanced at the yoga goddess Tang Jingyan, who seemed both relieved and rather confident. She was so beautiful, with delicate features, snow-white tender skin, and a swaying ponytail that gave her an indescribable goddess-like aura.
Combined with her graceful, perfect figure and ineffable noble temperament.
Looking at the goddess before him, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed of his own inferiority.
"Sorry, I didn't come here specifically to save you. I just wanted the corpses of those few zombies from earlier."
"As for whether or not I save you, that depends on your own decision."
Feeling inferior was one thing, but being a simp was something Xiao Yi would absolutely never do.
Tang Jingyan froze for a moment, biting her pink lips tightly. "I know you're a good person. Can you take me to your shelter?"
Giving him a "good guy" card?
Xiao Yi laughed.
When most goddesses want to use a loser, they typically start by giving them the 'good guy' card.
Then they give them a little taste of sweetness, a little hope.
The simp who tastes the sweetness becomes like a dog that's eaten delicious food, slowly sinking into the goddess's radiance, gradually becoming a lapdog.
Then the simp gets used by the goddess again and again, hurt by the goddess again and again. Just when the simp wants to give up, the goddess gives him another glimmer of hope, lets him taste sweetness again, and he continues being a lapdog, giving everything for the goddess.
And in the end, the lucky backup simp becomes a cuckold raising another man's child, while the unlucky simp is hurt and left with nothing.
Sure enough, Tang Jingyan continued, "Your name is Xiao Yi, right? I know you. You had a roommate who used to come watch my performances often. We're kind of friends, and he talked about you a lot."
As she spoke, Tang Jingyan's face reddened slightly, and she said with a hint of shyness, "Actually, I noticed you a long time ago. You're actually quite outstanding..."
Xiao Yi sneered inwardly but said with a faint smile, "Oh, is that so? When did you notice me? Do you remember my roommate's name? What did you find outstanding about me back then?"
If someone said his current self was outstanding, Xiao Yi would admit it.
But if she said he was outstanding before the apocalypse, Xiao Yi himself wouldn't believe it.
Of course, Xiao Yi believed even less that the renowned yoga goddess would notice a completely ordinary loser.
The number of rich and handsome guys pursuing Tang Jingyan could, at the very least, circle the entire track field.
Tang Jingyan froze for a moment, cursing inwardly. Why did this guy kill the conversation the moment they started talking?
He's simply an idiot with zero emotional intelligence, isn't he?
She had just habitually said some polite words.
After a long while, Tang Jingyan really couldn't answer Xiao Yi's questions. She stammered, "I was so scared just now... I... I can't remember his name right now. But I really did notice you. You're a very kind and simple guy. I know you'll definitely help me. I know you like me too. If you can win my heart, we might become boyfriend and girlfriend. After all, it's the apocalypse now, we can rely on each other."
"Sorry, but there seems to be some misunderstanding between us. I'm not kind at all, and I don't want you to be my girlfriend," Xiao Yi said coldly.
He understood Tang Jingyan's meaning very clearly. She wanted him to fawn over her, to be controlled by his feelings for her, to become her simp.
She saw him as just another simp like all the other guys pursuing her.
She was smart. In this apocalypse, the only way a woman could control a man was to play the emotional card.
But unfortunately, Xiao Yi was not a simp.
And he didn't need Tang Jingyan's affection.
To Xiao Yi, women were merely tools for physical pleasure.
"A forced melon isn't sweet, right? Only if you can make the other person fall in love with you can you be happy, that's how it feels better, isn't it? You know, a lot of guys used to pursue me. I need a boyfriend who is good to me, who pampers and loves me, and who can protect me," Tang Jingyan said earnestly.
"Indeed, a forced melon isn't sweet, but I have no intention of forcing anything. As for how many guys pursued you, what does that have to do with me?" Xiao Yi killed the conversation once again. "What kind of boyfriend you want to find, you don't need to tell me, because it's none of my business, and I have absolutely no interest in being your boyfriend."
Tang Jingyan had never encountered such an impenetrable steel man who was immune to all her tactics.
