“Let go of me!”

Li Zirong struggled a little, but quickly realized she had no chance of escaping the girl’s grip. The girl was unbelievably strong—once those little hands got hold of you, there was practically no getting away.

The girl heard her and broke into a smug smile. She pressed Li Zirong’s little face into her chest, then looked at Fang Chang in triumph. “Total victory!”

Fang Chang watched the absolutely explosive scene, feeling hot blood rush through her head. Her face burned. But she had seen a thing or two, and wasn’t about to give in that easily. She fought down the urge to let her nosebleed and said nothing, simply staring at the two of them.

What a feast for the eyes!

Seeing how solemn Fang Chang looked, the girl couldn’t help holding her breath.

I’m obviously so much better than this little brat. Why isn’t she saying anything?

The thought put her in a bit of a mood, and she hugged Li Zirong even tighter.

Li Zirong could barely breathe. She pounded on the girl’s arm, her legs kicking and struggling nonstop, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t escape the girl’s clutches. Her frantic movements even made the blanket come loose, nearly shaking Fang Chang’s resolve.

“Let go of me…”

Li Zirong felt so wronged. She had no idea what was going on, and now she was being treated like this.

The girl gave a snort and looked at Fang Chang. “Do you still like her?”

Before Fang Chang could react, Li Zirong’s legs jerked as she finally figured out what was going on. She twisted her head around and screamed, “Fang Chang! You set me up!”

Fang Chang jolted. Looks like she couldn’t keep sitting back and watching the yuri unfold. At this rate, the girl was going to smother Li Zirong to death with her chest.

Hearing her, the girl instinctively loosened her hold a little. Li Zirong seized her chance and tried to yank her head free, but the girl reacted even faster. With a soft splat, her soft flesh blocked Li Zirong’s nose again.

The girl looked at Li Zirong struggling, then at Fang Chang, and suddenly understood. “So you’ve got a one-sided crush?”

Even Li Zirong was stunned by the way her mind worked. For a moment, she forgot to keep struggling.

Fang Chang realized she couldn’t keep stringing her along. That would only make things worse, so she hurried to explain. “Actually, I lied to you. Li Zirong is my senior, not my lover.”

The girl’s lips curled into a pout, and she tightened her grip. Fang Chang even heard a sound like bones cracking from Li Zirong’s body. Li Zirong’s scream right after confirmed it.

“Eee-hee-hee-hee… Fang Chang, you set me up…”

The girl didn’t care. Like a sulking child, she demanded, “Why did you lie to me?”

Fang Chang couldn’t think of an excuse, so she told the truth. “Because I… don’t like you. This was the best way to turn you down…”

The girl lifted her chin and puffed out her chest, her eyes shining. “Do you like me now?”

Fang Chang looked at her innocent face and devilish figure, then remembered that she was a zombie. With difficulty, she shook her head. “I don’t like you!”

The girl pressed on. “Why don’t you like me?”

Fang Chang spoke earnestly. “Well, liking someone or not liking them is just how it is. You can’t really explain it—it’s just a feeling. I don’t feel that way about you. Even if you’re gorgeous and have an amazing figure, I still won’t like you.”

The girl dragged Li Zirong closer to Fang Chang. “Then what would make you feel that way about me?”

Fang Chang fell into thought.

How could she comfort the girl and still turn her down?

The girl blinked, tightened her arm a little more, and asked dejectedly, “You don’t know either?”

Fang Chang couldn’t come up with an answer, so she simply followed her lead and shook her head.

“Um…” Li Zirong’s voice wavered as if she were about to cry. She reached out and poked the girl’s cheek. “Whether you two like each other or not has nothing to do with me, right? Could you let me go first?”

The girl loosened her hold, looking dejected. Afraid she might spring another surprise attack, Li Zirong slowly turned onto her back first. Then she saw the blanket had slipped halfway off, leaving a large patch of skin exposed. She let out a startled cry and tried to pull away so she could wrap herself in the blanket.

Just then, the girl’s arm came down again, squeezing Li Zirong until she was half-dead.

“No! You’re my hostage! I’ll let you go when she agrees to be with me!”

Li Zirong stared wide-eyed, then slowly looked at Fang Chang.

Fang Chang felt sorry for what she was going through, but when she saw that hopeful look, she jolted and shook her head like a rattle drum.

Li Zirong immediately kicked her. “Listen to your senior and say yes to her!”

Fang Chang looked horrified. “Say yes to what?”

Li Zirong quickly turned to the girl. “Say yes to what?”

The girl lifted her little face. “Marry me!”

“No way!” Fang Chang objected before Li Zirong could even pass the message along. “I, Fang Chang, am a proper grown man. How could I ever get married? No way!”

The girl immediately changed her wording. “Then I’ll marry you!”

Fang Chang fell silent at once.

Li Zirong kicked her again. “Hurry up and agree to marry her!”

Fang Chang gave her a sideways look. “Senior, are you trying to set me up?”

Li Zirong pointed at the arm around her neck. “Take a good look. Who’s setting up whom here?”

Fang Chang didn’t want to agree, so she put on a tough front despite feeling nervous. She even ignored the bond between senior and junior. “You’re enjoying this, Li Zirong. I’d jump at the chance to trade places with you!”

Li Zirong quickly turned to the girl. “You heard her, right? She really wants you.”

The girl froze for a moment. Then her gaze turned visibly hotter as she looked at Fang Chang.

Li Zirong kept fanning the flames. “I can sense the energy inside you. You must be the legendary Zombie Queen, right? Then you probably don’t know that we humans have a type called a ‘tsundere,’ or an attitude where someone’s mouth says no but their body says yes.”

The girl kept her eyes fixed on Fang Chang, who was instinctively shrinking into the corner of the sofa. She asked casually, “What’s a tsundere? And what does it mean for someone’s mouth to say no while their body says yes?”

Li Zirong gave a scornful laugh. “It means someone like her—she clearly likes you, but keeps turning you down. What she just said gave away what she really thinks!”

The next moment, Li Zirong was finally free.

Because the girl had latched onto Fang Chang.

Li Zirong lowered her head to straighten the blanket around herself, her little face flushed. Then she muttered, “Keep doing bad things and you’ll get what’s coming to you! Serves you right!”
