Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 59

Jin Xuyan wrapped his arms around Jiap Lizhi, burying his head in the crook of her neck. His grip tightened as he whispered, "Ah Zhi, I can't lose you again."

A faint tremor was heard in his voice, showing his vulnerability to her blatantly.

Jiao Lizhi was stunned. It took her a long moment to process his words. Then, she felt something damp as warmth spread across her neck. It was tears.

Her lips parted, and she said, "Jin Xuyan, that person was really you..."

Jin Xuyan's hold on her tightened as he said, "Ah Zhi, I'm sorry I didn't come for you sooner. I thought keeping my distance would keep you safe, but I never expected that because of my cowardice, it would harm you."

His voice trailed off at the end, but she understood. Even though that past life had ended, she could still feel the agonizing pain of being torn apart alive.

From the way he looked at her, she could see his feelings for her clearly.

She wasn't naïve. She had known from the moment she was kissed.

As an orphan, she had always yearned for a family. But in her previous life, she had been betrayed by the one she trusted most.

How could she easily open her heart again?

And yet—she couldn't bring herself to push away the warmth of his embrace.

Slowly, she raised her arms and wrapped them around him.

Jin Xuyan's body tensed for a split second before gradually relaxing.

As she leaned against his chest, a thought surfaced in her mind.

'I will give myself one more chance and take this bet. Maybe this time, I will win this bet.'

After a moment of hugging, they heard a knock on the window. Raising his head, Jin Xuyan saw Zhang Yuan scratching his head outside.

Lowering the window slightly, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Glancing at the woman sitting on his captain's lap, Zhang Yuan immediately realized he had interrupted something. But he braced himself and said, "Captain, we need you to check on something."

Jin Xuyan was annoyed at being interrupted but knew what was more important. He nodded and said, "I will be there in a moment."

"Understood," Zhang Yuan nodded and left.

Once he was gone, Jin Xuyan let out a sigh and said, "Ah Zhi, rest for a while. When we are done loading the supplies, I will let you know. You can take the rest of the supplies with you."

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi nodded and replied, "Okay."

Before opening the door, he leaned down and kissed her forehead. Then, he carried her out of the car and placed her back in the passenger seat. After patting her head, he closed the door.

Watching him walk away, Jiao Lizhi suddenly felt shy. In both her lifetimes, this was the first time she had been so intimate with a man. Although he was her childhood friend, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and awkward.

With a knowing smile, Xiao Qi packed all the crystals into a bag and handed it to Jin Xuyan, saying, "Captain, we don't even know what these crystals are for. If my sister-in-law likes them, she can have them all." _{freēwebnovel.com}
