The Zombie I Flirted With After Losing My Memory, Who Was Pretending to be an Alpha, Is Actually My Ex - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: New Grudges and Old Hatreds

“Shi Yun is the person in charge of Section A.”

“And?”

“That’s it.”

“…”

Shi Yun was indeed the person in charge of Section A, but Xie Jinbing had only met her a few times. Those few encounters had left her with a poor impression—especially the last one, which was enough for Xie Jinbing to classify Shi Yun as an enemy.

It could be said that Shi Yun was an extreme “Anti-Alpha” extremist; she gave Xie Jinbing the exact same vibe as that person.

“Don’t you want to talk about yourself?” Xie Jinbing tilted her head slightly, her tongue brushing past Teng Xi’s small Adam’s apple with a moist trace. She watched with satisfaction as Teng Xi’s body shuddered.

Teng Xi chuckled in response. “Didn’t you say I was an ungrateful beast in human clothing?”

Xie Jinbing rolled her eyes.

However, Teng Xi did have a question: “Why am I here? Did I lose my memory because of mental health issues? And then got admitted to the hospital?”

Over the past few days, she had considered countless possibilities regarding her amnesia, but every theory fell apart under scrutiny. This was the only one that seemed somewhat plausible. To her disappointment, Xie Jinbing shook her head.

“A few days before the crisis broke out, I was called back to the hospital for an emergency mission. I didn’t run into you until that day.” Xie Jinbing wasn’t lying; she simply didn’t mention that they hadn’t seen each other for nearly a year. How Teng Xi interpreted that was up to her.

As Xie Jinbing expected, Teng Xi didn’t doubt her. Instead, she frowned. It seemed she would have to find Shi Yun; at the moment, Shi Yun was the only person who might know why she had lost her memory.

“What about my… family?” This was the question Teng Xi had been reluctant to raise.

Xie Jinbing shook her head again. “You only have a grandmother living in the south of the city. The zombie crisis erupted so quickly that I don’t know how she is. I’m sorry.”

After they broke up, Xie Jinbing had visited the grandmother a few times, but every time she went, Teng Xi would hide from her as if she were there to destroy the family. Eventually, Xie Jinbing felt it was pointless and made up a story about being transferred to another city, never visiting again.

It had been nearly a year since they last saw each other. Xie Jinbing didn’t know if the grandmother had survived this ordeal; her gaze dimmed at the thought.

Teng Xi didn’t know the full history and only figured it wasn’t Xie Jinbing’s fault. After asking for the grandmother’s detailed address, she decided she would go find her as soon as she left the hospital. She was her only relative.

Xie Jinbing’s words became more frequent as her limbs draped over Teng Xi. They murmured close to each other’s ears, their hot breaths intertwining. Soon, the ends of her sentences turned into coquettish murmurs.

The second wave of the heat was approaching. Teng Xi coaxed her into drinking some hot cocoa, then lifted her to sit on the laboratory bench, pulling a blanket from their shoulders to pad under her hips.

Xie Jinbing wrapped her arms around Teng Xi’s neck in discomfort. Her arms, smooth as suet jade, were scorching hot. Even knowing this was a normal temperature for a heat, Teng Xi couldn’t help but feel worried.

“Sister Xie, drink a little more.” Teng Xi held the cup to her lips, one hand encircling her waist. Her fingers couldn’t help but knead the indentation of her waist, satisfied to feel her partner shudder as she swallowed the cocoa.

“Good girl.” Teng Xi kissed her chin as a reward, coaxing her to finish the rest.

She reached for a brand-new white lab coat she had found earlier in the supply crate. While they were kissing and Xie Jinbing was dazed, Teng Xi had sneakily slipped it onto her. She hooked a pair of glasses from the side and placed them on Xie Jinbing’s face, unaware that Xie Jinbing’s lips were already curving into a smirk.

The silver half-rims suited her perfectly. The silver edge sat right against the scar on her broken eyebrow. The lenses added a sense of hazy mystery to her unfocused, lingering gaze. The beauty of abstinence and the temptation of passion merged perfectly on this face, making it hard for anyone to stay calm. Teng Xi touched the scar on the eyebrow and deepened the kiss.

Xie Jinbing’s exquisite body was wrapped in the white coat. Because of her height, the coat barely reached the tops of her thighs, making her allure flicker in and out of view. Her long, straight legs were shamelessly exposed to the air.

She instinctively hooked her toes around Teng Xi’s thigh, meeting firm muscle. The throbbing inside her was immense; the overflowing passion was on the verge of collapse. She only wanted to get closer.

Teng Xi was satisfied with her body, which showed signs of training. Her muscle lines were smooth and perfect without being exaggerated, and her female physiology gave her a soft advantage—unlike some weak Alphas, and unlike He Qi’s group of Alpha subordinates whose bodies were entirely stiff.

As Xie Jinbing coiled around her piece by piece, the collar of the white coat slipped from her rounded shoulder, exposing a glimpse of her pride, tempting the person before her to pluck the fruit.

During heat, an Omega’s body becomes exceptionally soft and sensitive, becoming perfectly attuned to an Alpha. Xie Jinbing actually hated this aspect—as if everything were designed solely for conception. It felt like they had returned to a primitive society to fulfill the most basic human desires. Fortunately, the experience Teng Xi provided was not bad at all.

Teng Xi was like a puppy trying her best to please her master, serving her sensitive areas with dedication. This was why Xie Jinbing was willing to cooperate and easily agreed to her various whims.

Such as the medical “play”…

Sitting on the lab bench, Xie Jinbing was pulled close by Teng Xi’s grip on her slender waist. As the kisses fell, they became entangled. Hoarse, low sobs echoed in the room, dampening the blanket on the table.

“Xi Xi, I love you.” I did before, and I do now. Even though I’ve hated you, I can’t help but love you. This time you came to me voluntarily; I won’t let go.

She had plenty of time to make Teng Xi submit completely.

“Sister Xie, I love you too.” The response was an even more intense kiss.

Teng Xi didn’t know what was happening to Xie Jinbing; this heat was far more powerful than the last. In her passion, Xie Jinbing even said things that startled Teng Xi.

She didn’t reject the words; it was just that hearing them from such a face always felt surreal.

Intimacy surged. The thick pheromones made their heads feel heavy and dazed. Xie Jinbing was desperate to prove Teng Xi’s love for her through action.

That night, both were exhausted. They didn’t wake up until the following afternoon.

They lived a completely nocturnal life, sleeping by day and romancing by night. In Teng Xi’s crude words: “No profligacy during the day.”

This lasted for five days, until the heat finally ended.

A normal heat lasts about a week, but Xie Jinbing’s was abnormal. She wasn’t clear on the reasons, but she suspected it was related to her zombification.

The moment the heat ended, Xie Jinbing kicked Teng Xi off the bed without hesitation, as if their five days of intimacy were nothing but a passing cloud.

Teng Xi sat on the floor, naked and covered in red marks. Her shapely body didn’t spark a hint of desire in the post-heat Xie Jinbing. Without a single glance at Teng Xi, Xie Jinbing threw on a lab coat and walked straight to the bathroom. Only the glistening moisture between her legs betrayed their recent passion.

“Sister Xie, you’re loving and leaving me!” Teng Xi stared at her back. Those greyish-white thighs were glaringly visible under the white coat, stimulating her eyes.

The “love-and-leave” Xie Jinbing paused, turned, and gave her a fake smile. “Oh.”

Teng Xi felt like she heard the sound of her own heart breaking. She dramatically clutched her chest, but the Omega, having solved her physiological needs, didn’t look back. The sound of the shower soon followed.

This plot feels a bit off, Teng Xi frowned.

Shouldn’t they be even more heart-to-heart after five days of passion, vowing never to marry anyone else? How did she suddenly become a human tool for solving physical needs?

Unbeknownst to her, Xie Jinbing was in the shower with red eyes, turning the water to maximum to hide her sobs.

Five days! For five whole days, Teng Xi hadn’t given her a permanent mark. Sometimes she had sensed Teng Xi losing control, but she always stopped at the very last step.

It wasn’t that she was obsessed with the permanent mark, but if you truly love someone, how can you hold back like that? A permanent mark means the Omega belongs to the Alpha, but it also means the Alpha can only ever have that one Omega.

When Xie Jinbing finished dressing, she had returned to her dominant, “Alpha-like” elder sister persona. The lenses on her nose seemed even colder…

Teng Xi was still in the same position she had been in before the shower, chin in hand, wondering why.

“Bathe.” Xie Jinbing, covered in moisture, cast a disdainful look. Teng Xi didn’t dare speak up. She scurried into the bathroom, though she tried to look cool by flipping her hair as she passed Xie Jinbing—only to be met with a cold glare.

By the time Teng Xi came out, Xie Jinbing was already cooking food.

Yes, a single serving.

Teng Xi sat pitifully to the side, leaning forward with her hands on the stool, looking politely and miserably at Xie Jinbing and her bowl.

Three minutes later, Xie Jinbing couldn’t stand the look anymore. She glared at Teng Xi but cooked a portion for her anyway.

Teng Xi ate happily once she got the food, thinking secretly: Mm, Sister Xie still loves me.

Having eaten their fill, the two finally took a serious look at the laboratory. The once-neat room was now a mess, with the scent of intimacy lingering everywhere. Teng Xi couldn’t help but wonder: Was Sister Xie angry because I was too rough these past few days?

Xie Jinbing, her face slightly flushed, swept the padding off the data table, wiped the moisture away, and began typing rapidly on the keyboard.

Teng Xi couldn’t understand what she was doing. Xie Jinbing offered a rare explanation: “The systems in each section of the Red House are independent but connected to an internal network. You can view data across sections within the LAN.”

She wanted to search for the data from the lab she was in when the zombie crisis erupted.

Xie Jinbing slowly recounted her zombification: “After being transferred here, I worked in Section A. This area houses patients with dangerous potential, and all the hospital’s experiments are conducted here. When the crisis broke out, I was in Lab 8 on the tenth floor of this building. Suddenly, the whole building’s alarm went off. The lab’s emergency protocol triggered, locking the doors. Then, someone injected me in the neck, and I passed out. I woke up like this.”

“Oh, by the way,” Xie Jinbing gritted her teeth as she spoke the last two words, “the person who ambushed me was your… Shi. Yun.”
