The Mad Scientist’s Domesticated Little Zombie 46

Chapter 46: A Romantic Relationship, What’s Wrong with That…

Lin Ling felt the stinging pain at the corner of his mouth again and gasped, quickly dodging.

“You’ve already collected it, so why are you still pressing—hiss.”

The moment the little zombie opened his mouth to speak, he pulled at the corner of his mouth again. He immediately wilted, covered his mouth and stopped talking, but the eyes that were glaring at Shi Changyuan were full of “I’m not talking to you.”

“Mm, I was wrong.”

Shi Changyuan was always quick to admit his mistakes, but whether he would change was another matter. He brought some ointment and applied it to the little zombie. The wound at the corner of his mouth was instantly cool and not so painful anymore.

“It seems to be mint-flavored.”

Lin Ling smelled the cool scent and subconsciously wanted to lick it, but his lips were held by Shi Changyuan.

“You can’t lick the ointment.”

“Oh.”

Every time the little zombie agreed to something, he looked extremely obedient. “Is it poisonous?”

“Not poisonous, but if your mouth doesn’t heal, you can’t blame me.”

Shi Changyuan smiled and pinched Lin Ling’s cheek. “The military is probably hosting a dinner tomorrow. Lingling doesn’t want to be unable to eat properly, right?”

Hearing that the military was hosting a dinner tomorrow, a grand banquet with more than a dozen dishes, his eyes instantly lit up, and the corner of his mouth was much better.

“Alright, alright.”

The little zombie’s eyes curved. He immediately prepared to take a shower and go to sleep, looking forward to tomorrow.

He went back to his room to wash up. Everything was the same as before, very familiar. But when he lay back on the bed and hugged his doll, he tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep, and was a bit puzzled.

He could fall asleep in such an environment in the wild. Why couldn’t he sleep well now that he was back?

The little zombie turned on the light again, picked up the doll and looked at it. It was the same as before, and the smell was the same.

He arranged the doll in the position he remembered, fluffed up the cotton in the pillow to make it soft and fluffy again, lifted the quilt and shook it out, smoothed it, and there was the familiar small night light.

“Everything is ready, but you’ve left me out?”

Shi Changyuan stood at the door, watching the little zombie toss and turn.

Originally, he had seen Lin Ling go to take a shower and had taken the opportunity to send the blood sample back to the laboratory. It was only a twenty-minute round trip, but when he came back, he found that the lights in the room were already off.

He had thought that he was tired from the journey and had fallen asleep, but he hadn’t expected that after he had washed up, he would see the lights in Lin Ling’s room on again, and the person inside was like he couldn’t sleep, still making a nest in bed.

Hearing Shi Changyuan’s voice, the little zombie finally looked at the door.

He looked at the human standing at the door, then at his own bed, and immediately had an epiphany.

Before, there was no Shi Changyuan on his bed, but after he left the base, there was. So it was Shi Changyuan’s problem!

After the little zombie figured it out, he pulled Shi Changyuan into his room and said righteously, “From today on, you’re on my bed!”

With that, the little zombie pulled the two-meter-tall bear doll out of his quilt, threw it to the foot of the bed, and made space for Shi Changyuan.

“What do you mean I’m on Lingling’s bed?” Shi Changyuan deliberately pretended not to understand and asked with a smile, “I have my own room.”

“But if you sleep in your own room, I can’t sleep.”

The little zombie’s tone sounded a bit pitiful, but it was more domineering. “What’s wrong with you sleeping with me?”

“You can’t even satisfy this small request. Is this how you’re in a relationship?”

Hearing Lin Ling’s words, Shi Changyuan’s lips curved up. He deliberately put on a very troubled expression. “I can, but it’s not very convenient for me to stay in Lingling’s room.”

“What’s not convenient?”

“My toiletries are all in my own room.”

The great Zombie Emperor waved his hand and said generously, “I’ll just get you a new set!”

Shi Changyuan smiled and pushed his luck. “My clothes are all in my own room. It’s not convenient to go back and forth to change clothes.”

“My wardrobe is still very empty. You can move them over.”

“My other things…”

Before Shi Changyuan could finish, Lin Ling closed his eyes and nodded his head.

“Move them all over.”

“I can give you half of my room. That should be enough, right?”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved so easily, Shi Changyuan stopped bullying him and settled the matter with a smile.

“Then it’s a deal.”

Tomorrow morning, he would have someone come and move the bed from his room. That way, even if the young man changed his mind, it would be too late.

Both sides felt that they had gotten a good deal and lay down with satisfaction.

Feeling the familiar warmth, the little zombie soon became sleepy. He had originally thought that he could sleep until the banquet with more than a dozen dishes began, but he was woken up by Shi Changyuan early in the morning.

“What’s my business?”

The little zombie was very dissatisfied, grumbling with morning temper, hugging the quilt and rolling around in bed, curling himself back into the still-warm quilt.

“The research has nothing to do with Lingling, but did you forget that you still have a work identity?”

Shi Changyuan dangled the little zombie’s work ID in front of his eyes.

“We’re having a meeting today to finalize the list of research group members. This is a confidential project and the permissions will be reset. If Lingling doesn’t show up today, it’ll be troublesome to find me in the lab later.”

The moment Lin Ling heard that he would have to go through layers of reporting and checkpoints to get to Shi Changyuan’s lab later, he sat up.

“Alright.”

Shi Changyuan smiled and carried Lin Ling out, dressed him, washed him up, and comforted him, “It should be a meeting this morning. Lingling can just doze off on the side. We’ll go for a big meal at noon.”

Although he said that, the big meal at the base was not so easy to get. The morning meeting was mostly filled with the smell of gunpowder, and it was so noisy that the little zombie couldn’t even take a nap. It wasn’t until Shi Changyuan gave a very specific plan that it calmed down.

In Shi Changyuan’s unhurried, leisurely tone, and with the incomprehensible biochemical terms, the little zombie suddenly felt as if he had returned to his high school math class, which made his eyes go dizzy.

“Hey, hey.”

“Lingling.”

Miao Xue on the side saw the young man finally wake up and immediately threw another small paper ball, asking him about his current relationship with Shi Changyuan and why even his mouth was broken.

At the very end of the note, there was even a cheeky, winking emoji.

The little zombie looked at the paper ball, reached out and touched the pocket of Shi Changyuan, who was still reporting beside him, took out a pen, and replied.

[It’s a romantic relationship, what’s wrong with that.]

Miao Xue, who saw the answer: !!!

[When did this happen??? How come we don’t know? And why did you two leave the military station behind our backs?]

The little zombie looked at the small paper ball that flew over again, with a bunch of question marks on it. He recalled what Shi Changyuan had said that day, combined the three questions into one, and summarized his answer.

[Oh, it was the day we eloped. He said he liked me.]

Miao Xue didn’t understand but was greatly shocked.

Wait?

He can elope with you just because he says he likes you? What kind of activity is this? Is it still available?

Wait, the base didn’t object to their relationship. What’s the point of eloping! This must be a trick Shi Changyuan used to deceive the innocent young man. Little Lin Ling has been corrupted.

Miao Xue wanted to say something more, but the meeting ended. After half a month of arguing at the military’s high level, and another morning of arguing at the research institute, the matter was finally settled.

Shi Changyuan would be fully in charge, in collaboration with Old Duan. The security level was S, and this area would be completely sealed off and guarded by the military.

And the little zombie, as Shi Changyuan’s family member and assistant, would have shared permissions and could enter and exit the laboratory at any time.

Sometimes, when the laboratory was busy, Shi Changyuan would even forget to eat and sleep, and the little zombie would have to forcefully drag him to rest.

“Although I don’t understand, this sounds very difficult. Why are you in such a hurry? A human’s body is already very fragile.”

Lin Ling was a bit angry. He supervised Shi Changyuan as he ate, and fiercely speared a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Shi Changyuan smiled, also a bit helpless.

“I’m worried that Lingling will feel restricted.”

Because this research was of great importance, almost no one was allowed to go out. One was to prevent the secret from being leaked, and the other was to prevent any accidents to important personnel. The entire research institute was so tightly sealed that not even a fly could get out.

“It’s okay.”

The little zombie didn’t think much of it.

Shi Changyuan’s laboratory was very spacious, and there was still a table and a sofa in the rest area. Although Lin Ling couldn’t help much, Shi Changyuan would rather endure the little zombie’s morning temper and drag him to work with him.

He would just sit in the separate rest area of the laboratory, watch movies, play games, and then eat with Shi Changyuan.

His previous days were also like this. Besides, Shi Changyuan and Auntie Man were both by his side, and even his three meals a day had a familiar taste—

A balanced diet of meat and vegetables, personally made by Auntie Man.

The little zombie skillfully picked out all the vegetables from his bowl and gave them to Shi Changyuan. Then, afraid that Shi Changyuan’s work was too intense and he wasn’t getting enough nutrition, he picked out a few more pieces of meat.

“Anyway, there’s nothing fun to do outside anymore.” Lin Ling thought for a moment. Besides City B, the other wilderness areas were all about the same. The only places he hadn’t been to were the other human bases.

But a round trip to a human base would take at least half a month.

He couldn’t bear to be away from Shi Changyuan for half a month.

“When your work is completely over, we can go and visit the other bases.”

Shi Changyuan never refused Lin Ling’s suggestions, but this time, he was a bit hesitant.

“What’s wrong?”

The little zombie tilted his head and looked at Shi Changyuan, feigning displeasure. “You don’t want to?”

“No.”

The corners of Shi Changyuan’s lips curved up. “I just have other arrangements.”

The little zombie blinked, not satisfied. “What arrangement is more important than taking me out to play?”

“There is.”

“I have to propose to Lingling and prepare a grand wedding.”

Seeing the young man in front of him completely stunned, Shi Changyuan smiled as if he had succeeded. “But if Lingling wants to go and play at other human bases, that’s fine too.”

“Then we’ll have a wedding at every human base we go to.”

“We’ll have a worldwide wedding tour with Lingling…”

Before Shi Changyuan could finish, Lin Ling covered his mouth. His eyelashes fluttered rapidly, and his face was completely red. He stammered, “I-I haven’t agreed yet!”
