Chapter 91: Pure

Zhang ChangHao found the factory in the east. He cleared all the nearby zombies, how he only needs to clean up the inside. But the soldiers are human, and they need to eat and rest. So he went back to the place they settle in for now.

Lin ZiXin was a soldier under Zhang ChangHao, he was a normal human without an ability but he's gifted in guns. Heading back with the crew, he smells a yummy scent, he almost started running if it isn't the apocalypse. It has been so long since he had smelled cooked food. And so was the other soldiers.

Zhang ChangHao stopped the soldiers and walked over first and saw Hui MengYu there. He hug him and felt something cold when he rest he chin on his head.

Zhang ChangHao stopped his action in confusion "???"

Hui MengYu pushed him away and touch the rice that was melting and move it to the other side. He opened his lips and whispered lightly "Ice, I made food, lets eat." while he was talking, he walked back into the kitchen and took out plastic bowls and scope the fried rice in and set it aside.

the soldiers quickly took over the job of serving food from Hui MengYu and pushed him to Zhang ChangHao.

Zhang ChangHao chuckled from the soldiers conduct and let him sit down. He then took a bowl of fried rice, taking a spoon and scoop some fried rice blowing gently. When it don't look to be too hot, he tried to feed Hui MengYu who was still shocked.

Hui MengYu blushed as Zhang ChangHao rush him and snatch his spoon back.

he eat quickly and got up, he was finished and feel full after two bowls. he turn to look at Zhang ChangHao when he got up. Zhang ChangHao had just finished his fourth bowl, seeing that Hui MengYu was looking at him he smiled with his cheeks full of food. He had some rice on his cheeks, he looked like a hamster that is full of nuts in his cheeks.

"pfft-" Hui MengYu stopped his laughter and choke it back it back in when he saw his innocent eyes questioning him with his gaze.

Hui MengYu quickly looked away and coughed. he walked away while looking around. Soldiers were laughing and joking around them selfs, some was quiet while some were choking down food. the air was full of joy and relaxation, some soldiers who finished eating where playing some game while cheerfully mocking each other.

Hui MengYu was happy. Everyone is happy, the atmosphere was merry, seeing this picture, no one would think that the apocalypse had happened.

it was great...

looking back at Zhang ChangHao, who was getting the fifth bowl other soldiers who had just got one bowl howled in pain as he took the last bit. Hui MengYu let out a childish laughed.

Zhang ChangHao who turns to see, Hui MengYu's sliver hair shining under the sunlight, water drips out of the hair as he moves. His eyes shaped into crescent like a beautiful blue moon, his cheeks where red from laughing.

it was a beautiful image, and a memory he won't ever forget. Hui MengYu's childish, pure laughter without any desolation he had before.

-it was him himself. Without the harm from the world. The purest form he ever saw. Like an innocent child who hadn't seen the cruelty of the world.

But he had experience with all the world's cruelty, like a flower that didn't break no matter what. This is why he is unblemished. And an angel in his own way. And in his eye, he would still be pure as the driven snow.

As Wutong-trees, live life as one

As Mandarin ducks, mate til death

As he would be forever his only.

And I, swear in life, to be faithful forever

For a billowing wave cannot stir

A water-like-spirit in a timeless well
