Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

As Xiaoyun walked back home, Xiaoyun thought about the words the three told him.

”Nami likes me? This sound like a fantasy. She always look at me with disgust. Why would she ever fall in love with me?”

”All the thing she had done for me... she helped me get the three of them? I mean she made me be honest and confess my feeling... But how’s that her liking me?”

”Beside, do I like her? I-I don’t hate her or anything. But love... she so flat and short... No no no, that is so shallow of me to think like that.” Xiaoyun shook his head.

”D-do I really propose and ask her if she like me? That sound so stupid... but they told me to not come back if I don’t get her.” As Xiaoyun unlocked the door, the sun was already rising up.

”Whatever, I will just worry about it later.” Xiaoyun went back to his room to catch up some sleep.

---

When Xiaoyun woken up a little, it was by Nami kicking him in the shin.

”You still have your reform to continue implementing!” Nami kept shaking Xiaoyun on the shoulder.

”Okay okay I’m getting up now.” Xiaoyun got up from the bed.

”I’ll go to the office now, you better get there before I get Lily to school.” Nami left the room.

”The three probably overthinking, how can she like me.” Xiaoyun changed his cloths and then went to the restroom.

After freshening up, Xiaoyun took a slice of bread and ate it on his way to the office.

As Xiaoyun arrived in the office, several of the employee were already there. Including Nami.

”Oh lord.” Xiaoyun sighed as he walked inside.

”You’re late. But I will give you an exemption this time.” Nami let go of it.

”Thank you.” Xiaoyun unlocked the door as both of them went inside and started working.

After working all the way to noon still sorting out the new workload that people are confused in, the two went out for lunch.

Nami dragged Xiaoyun to the hotpot store without asking.

”As punishment for being late in the morning, you going to treat me with a hotpot meal.” Nami demanded.

”Fine fine.” Xiaoyun went to the waiter to order the food for the hotpot.

After a hour, the two finished eating and started walked back to the office.

”Man I’m so full.” Nami complained.

”I’m surprised you can eat that much. Especially when you asked for deserts.” Xiaoyun laughed.

”Hey! I got different stomach for dessert okay? That cake look too delicious to give up.” Nami punched Xiaoyun in the chest.

”Yeah yeah. Sure.” The two joked at each other until they got to the office.

The two went back to work until the end of the shift.

”Finally there should be a lot less work tomorrow. Everyone should understand what to do now.” Xiaoyun stretched his arms.

”Yeah, this job is surprisingly fun to do.” Nami stretched her arm as well.

”You want me to move you as secretary full time?” Xiaoyun suggested.

”Nah, I want to stay home and just watch anime.” Nami rejected Xiaoyun’s suggestion.

”Anyway how do you still have so much to watch when internet is gone?” Xiaoyun curiously asked.

”I downloaded most of it long time ago to my computer. I was worried one day everything was going to stun down like this. Now I just need to connect the TV to my computer wirelessly to watch it.” Nami explained.

”I see... lets go home now.” Xiaoyun stood up from his seat.

”We are not going to see mom first?” Nami looked a little confused.

”Nah, they asked me to not return until... um just imagine they don’t want me to see them until next week.” Xiaoyun made up an excuse.

”Hm? Xiaoyun you sound really suspicious right now. What are you hiding from me?” The vague response only made Nami even more curious.

”You gonna leave or you want me to lock you in?” Xiaoyun was already at the office doorway.

”I’m coming geez.” Nami ran out of the office as Xiaoyun locked the office door.

As the two walked back home, Nami was jumped all around the street.

”You really are a carefree little sister.” Xiaoyun suddenly commented.

”Yeah, I never would want to be you guys, always worried about the next thing in town.” As the two talked, they arrived at the entrance of the house.

”Oh right I almost forgot, where’s Lily?” Xiaoyun realized something missing.

”She’s having a sleepover with her friends from schools.” Nami replied.

”Oh okay.” Xiaoyun didn’t much of it and unlocked the door.

Nami immediately rushed to the TV and started watching anime.

Xiaoyun went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

After thirty minute, Xiaoyun carried the dinner plate to Nami in the living room.

”Here’s dinner.” Xiaoyun sat down next to Nami as he got curious what she was watching

”Thanks.” Nami started eating as she kept watching.

It was a slice of life anime that Xiaoyun was unfamiliar with. To be honest, Xiaoyun had only watched few anime due to Chengyi’s and Pinli’s recommendation.

”It’s always the douche MC who doesn’t realize the best girl was the one support him in secret... why does childhood friend always lose to newcomer!” Nami started sobbing as she kept watching.

”I mean the newcomer had experienced more things with the MC. The author clearly intended to design her to win.” Xiaoyun commented.

”S-shut up, that why all men are bunch of shallow pigs!” Nami argued back as she wiped her tear.

Few minutes later.

”I can’t believe it... why did the MC chose the second newcomer over the two?” Nami sounded extremely frustrated and upset.

”Hm, the author knew what he was doing with that design on her...” Xiaoyun mumbled.

”Xiaoyun, would you pick me or Kate or Anna?” Nami suddenly asked.

”Um uh... y-you obviously.” Xiaoyun nervously replied.

”You wanted to pick the other two don’t you?” Nami looked a little down as she turned off the TV.

”I-I... y-you aren’t wrong.” Xiaoyun admitted it.

”I knew men really are bunch of shallow pigs.” Nami stood up and turned around.

”I-I didn’t mean to hurt your feeling.” Xiaoyun apologized.

”It’s fine. I know I’m not attractive.” Nami slowly walked back upstairs in defeat.

Xiaoyun sat on the sofa not knowing what to do as he felt lost until suddenly Yueyue’s word hit him.

”Being left behind, being left behind... Yueyue and Qiqi both inherited something from Leyan... meanwhile Yuqi got nothing...” Xiaoyun realized as he stood up from the sofa.

”She isn’t as carefree as she appeared... but what does that have to do with me and love?” Xiaoyun stood there frozen.

”Wait... why would Lily stay over a friend’s house today out of all the days? Is Nami trying to signal me something?” Xiaoyun felt like he is close to an answer.

”Me or Kate or Anna... why would she ask that kind of question?” Suddenly Xiaoyun noticed the marked date on the calendar.

”Nami’s birthday is tomorrow...” Xiaoyun didn’t think much of it as relevant.

”S-she ask me that question because she want to test me how much I love her? B-but she already knew how I would responded. Why would she ask it?”

”I need to apologize to her first either way.” Xiaoyun finally calm down his mind as he knocked on the door.

”What you want?” As Nami opened the door and asked, Xiaoyun could see tear marks on Nami’s face.

”I just want to apologize. I would pick you. I’m fully honest this time... Being around you give me a chill atmosphere and always make me feel relaxed.”

”That’s all you want to say?” Despite the depressing tone, Nami looked a little happier.

”Um, I also want ask what birthday cake do you want? I can make it for you for tomorrow.” Xiaoyun remember the calendar he saw earlier.

”Strawberry would be good.” Nami’s voice had finally changed a little.

”Okay I’ll go prepare it right n——” Before Xiaoyun could turn around, Nami suddenly held Xiaoyun’s hand.

”C-can I ask for a b-birthday request? Just an e-early birthday r-request.” Nami nervously asked.

”No problem, what is it?” Xiaoyun looked curious as Nami dragged Xiaoyun into her room and closed the door.

”Y-you said you would pick me over the other two right?” Nami asked.

”Y-yeah.” Xiaoyun suddenly have a bad feeling about this.

”C-can you hold me sleep tonight? I-I just want to feel how it would be like sleeping with a older brother. J-Just sleeping okay?” Nami seem extremely nervous as she asked her request.

”Um... n-no problem.” Xiaoyun couldn’t refuse Nami’s request as Nami’s face look like she was about to cry again.

”W-wait how about we t-take a shower first?” Xiaoyun p-pause for a second.

”It’s fine. Y-You can take off your cloths. L-Let me switch to my pajama.” Nami started taking off her cloths and switched to her pajama.
