Chapter 2 — The Cowardly Woman Awakens

PART 3 When I was about to finish packing my luggage, Bui Tu returned again.

“Tong Dien, what are you doing?”

His thin lips pursed tightly, his eyes staring at the luggage in my hand. His face was also dark and scary. 【The man walked back and forth in front of the tent door more than ten times without seeing the woman chasing after him, so he had to bow his head once to make up. Unexpectedly, the woman had already finished packing her luggage.】 【If he had gone two more rounds, wouldn't the woman have carried her luggage and chased him? He's still too impatient.】 【I quite like this part. Before, it was always women who bowed their heads to coax him first. I've never seen him coax anyone!】 Seeing that I didn't say anything, Bui Tu directly grabbed the luggage in my hand.

"Didn't I just once fail to set up a barrier for you? Do you need to go to this extent? Besides, you were the one who said there was no need."

After speaking, he suddenly calmed down and put down his luggage.

“Tong Dien, I'm still angry.”

"This time it was my fault, I'm sorry. But next time don't use this method to force me again, I don't like it."

His attitude and tone were like he was certain that I would never leave him. That's not strange either. During a year of the end of the world, he was the only one beside me. He turned me into a dodder that only depends on him to survive. To survive in the apocalypse, I lost myself a long time ago, got used to compromising and bowing my head. But the end result is death at the hands of zombies, and even being pushed to death by the person closest to him. So this time, I don't plan to compromise anymore. I looked straight into Bui Tu's eyes and said seriously:

“I'm not angry. I want to leave.”

He was stunned. A flash of confusion flashed through his eyes, but was quickly replaced by another emotion.

"Tong Dien, there are all zombies outside. A person like you, even low-level zombies can kill. If you leave me, can you still live? Do you think you are Van Thanh?"

I opened my eyes wide in disbelief.

“Are you two still in contact?”

He calmly said:

"No. Don't be suspicious all the time."

【No brother, who taught you to coax people like that?】 【To be honest, if I hadn't read the side story of the male side, I would have thought the female side was his enemy! Is this something a human could say?】 【Oh my God, who said men are so self-conscious? Come and see for yourself, how confident he is.】 【Is there a function to throw rotten eggs with just one click? Why is this man still alive? Also said no contact. There was no contact but the female supporting character just died, did he lead Diep Van Thanh to join the main male team?】 At this moment, my heart completely calmed down. PART 4 Diep Van Thanh is Bui Tu's childhood friend. The two are neighbors, and their family situations are not good. Bui Tu has a father addicted to gambling and a grandmother in poor health. It was very difficult to endure until his father passed away and his grandmother's health took a turn for the worse and she had to be hospitalized. He can only go to school and work many jobs at the same time to earn money for her medical treatment. I don't understand Diep Van Thanh very well. I only know that her family extremely values men and despises women. She hadn't finished middle school yet and had to go out to work to earn money. Half a year ago, Bui Tu saved Diep Van Thanh. A survivor did not awaken her powers, then brought her back. Also starting from then, Bui Tu changed. He started being stingy in setting up a protective barrier for me. Unless I insist on a request, if it's not really necessary, he absolutely will not take the initiative to set it up. But for Diep Van Thanh, he took extremely thoughtful care. I once asked him, the answer I received was:

"Van Thanh is just a survivor, she has no special powers. If she doesn't set up a barrier, she can easily be captured by zombies. Don't think too much."

At that time there were only two tents. Bui Tu and I live in one apartment, Diep Van Thanh lives in another. In the middle of the night, I heard movement next to me. When I opened my eyes sleepily, I was alone in the bed. I was afraid something had happened so I quickly followed. Just in time to hear talking in the remaining tent.

"A Tu, we have witnessed each other's most difficult and painful moments. You and I are people from the same world."

“People like us can never receive love.”

"The girl in my tent, at first glance, I knew she was a rich lady, her ten fingers were not exposed to spring water. Now she is by my side, loving me, absolutely not because she likes me, but because of my superpowers."

“If there appeared to her a supernatural being stronger than you, she would definitely throw it away without hesitation…”

“Sure…”

Bui Tu coldly interrupted:

“I didn't come to you to hear these words.”

But he did not refute what Diep Van Thanh said. He also thinks... I am that kind of person. After Bui Tu returned, he and I had a big argument. I hate that he thinks of me like that, and I hate that he looks down on himself even more. I forced him to take Diep Van Thanh away. I don't want any further relationship between the two of you. He used the excuse that Diep Van Thanh was a normal person and would die if he left to ignore me. The next day, poor Diep Van Thanh ran to apologize to me. Waiting until Bui Tu went out to look for supplies, she changed into a different face.

"Tong Dien, the person I hate the most is people like you."

“When I was born I had everything, from childhood to adulthood it was smooth sailing, never experiencing any suffering or hardship.”

"Now that the world has ended, you still have an S-class ability user to protect you."

“Based on what?”
