Su Yan ignored Takagi Saya's state of 'social death' and turned his gaze toward Miyamoto Rei to ask her a question.
"What?"
Miyamoto Rei toyed with a strand of her hair with her finger. Because of Su Yan's previous answer, she felt a bit awkward.
Could she really be blamed for it?
It was clearly that pink-haired girl with glasses, Takagi Saya, who had misunderstood everything first.
And she had actually wanted to do that kind of thing to Su Yan right in front of her.
What was wrong with her getting a little worked up?
However, upon hearing Su Yan call her name, Miyamoto Rei felt a jolt run through her and she quickly recovered from her awkwardness to respond.
Su Yan followed up curiously. "Don't you want to go back and check on things?"
If he remembered correctly, Miyamoto Rei seemed to be quite family-oriented in the anime, didn't she?
Why was it that Takagi Saya had already asked him to take her home, yet Miyamoto Rei hadn't shown any reaction at all?
"There is no need. I already called home before dinner and let them know I was safe," Miyamoto Rei shook her head as she replied.
After all, the zombie crisis had only broken out for less than half a day. Right now, even the television could receive signals normally, so phones were naturally still working fine.
So, while Su Yan had been busy preparing dinner that evening, the girl had already contacted her family by phone and explained her situation to them.
Regarding her family, Miyamoto Rei's father had been warned in advance by Su Yan through her, so he had taken leave early to stay home with the family.
He hadn't been busy with his professional duties like in the original anime plot, which had led to Miyamoto Rei being unable to contact him for a long time.
Now that she wasn't weighed down by worry for her family, the girl, who had finally put her heart at ease, found it difficult to give up the chance to live under the same roof as the person she liked.
How could she just give that up?
Miyamoto Rei then said somewhat playfully, "Or are you trying to drive me away?"
"That's not it. You can stay as long as you want. It's not like I'm missing a bite of food for you anyway."
Su Yan shook his head. As a man who owned an entire frozen meat locker in the apocalypse, he was full of confidence when he said those words.
"Really?"
With a smile on her lips, Miyamoto Rei told Su Yan her true feelings in the form of a joke. "Then it's a promise. As long as I don't want to leave, you can't drive me away."
Having said that, she didn't wait for Su Yan to answer, but skipped away like a lively rabbit.
Miyamoto Rei expressed her refusal to accept any answer from Su Yan.
As long as she didn't hear an answer, it would be equivalent to tacit consent.
After all, a girl's little selfishness should be used at times like this, shouldn't it?
Su Yan scratched his head. Since Miyamoto Rei didn't need it, the only person left who needed a ride was Takagi Saya.
Immediately, Su Yan turned to look at the pink-haired girl nearby, seeing that she was still maintaining that dazed expression.
He immediately extended his index finger and lightly tapped Takagi Saya's forehead, saying, "Snap out of it, Takagi-san."
"Huh?"
Feeling the sensation on her forehead, Takagi Saya's body retreated several steps.
She reached out to cover the spot Su Yan had just touched, her face looking even redder than before.
Lowering her head, she fixed her gaze on her ten delicate white toes that were fidgeting against each other.
If Su Yan reached out to touch her head again right now, he would find that the pink-haired girl's head was already so hot it was about to start emitting steam.
"Let's go, Takagi-san."
Su Yan walked a few steps, but seeing that Takagi Saya hadn't followed, he turned back and called out to the girl.
"Oh, okay."
Hearing this, the pink-haired girl ignored the shyness in her heart and hurried to walk behind Su Yan.
However, even though Su Yan wasn't facing her directly, the girl only dared to keep her eyes on Su Yan's heels, not daring to lift them even slightly.
She seemed afraid that he would suddenly turn around and meet her gaze.
After changing into his outdoor shoes, Su Yan led Takagi Saya to the house's underground garage.
After all, Takagi Saya's house was quite far from here.
Unless he was out of his mind, he would definitely choose to drive there.
He pulled back one of the dust covers shrouding a vehicle.
A cool-looking motorcycle immediately appeared before the two of them.
Although Su Yan wasn't a motorcycle enthusiast and didn't recognize the brand, the motorcycle's cool design still made his eyes light up.
Su Yan gently stroked the motorcycle's body.
The streamlined body, the cold frame, the pure black leather seat...
It was as if every curve on the vehicle was filled with a sense of power.
It had to be said that Minami Rika's taste was indeed quite good.
"You'll do!"
Su Yan nodded with satisfaction.
He then hopped onto the seat, patted the black cushion behind him, and said to Takagi Saya, "Get on!"
"Um, isn't there another car over there? Why not use that one?"
Takagi Saya breathed a long sigh of relief and finally couldn't help but speak up.
As a young lady from a wealthy family, she had never ridden a vehicle like a motorcycle before.
However, the reason she suggested changing vehicles wasn't because of that.
It was simply because the thought of riding a motorcycle meant she would have to press her body against Su Yan's back the whole time and hold onto him.
Just thinking about it made the pink-haired girl feel a wave of numbness throughout her body.
"Why do you have so many demands?"
Su Yan said irritably, "Get on or don't. Hurry up, or I'm going back to sleep."
While there was indeed an armored vehicle in the garage, now that the zombie crisis had broken out, the road conditions wouldn't be good.
In this situation, how could a four-wheeled vehicle be as convenient as a two-wheeled one?
However, Su Yan didn't feel the need to explain that to her.
"Wait, I'm getting on! I'm getting on!"
Hearing this, Takagi Saya suddenly grew anxious. Ignoring everything else, she quickly got on the bike behind Su Yan.
"That's more like it. Hold on tight, don't fall off in a bit."
Su Yan grabbed Takagi Saya's hands and pulled them firmly, making her lean against his back and then wrapping her hands around his waist.
Su Yan only felt a soft sensation coming from behind him.
He hadn't paid much attention before, but he didn't expect Takagi Saya to have such a good figure. It felt even larger than Busujima Saeko's.
However, he didn't intend to intentionally take advantage of her.
After lingering on the thought for less than a second, he started the vehicle beneath him.
The cold mechanical beast immediately let out a series of roars.
Accompanied by the exhaust pipe spewing bursts of air, the tires also rubbed against the ground at the right time, letting out a subtle hiss.
Su Yan released the brake and twisted the throttle forcefully. The cool-looking motorcycle instantly started, carrying the two of them forward at high speed.
Takagi Saya hugged Su Yan tightly, trying her best to stay close to his body.
No matter how cold the night wind was, it was still unable to blow away the rising heat from the girl's body.
The girl buried her face into Su Yan's back, feeling the warmth coming from him and greedily breathing in his scent.
Suddenly, as if realizing something, Takagi Saya's breathing hitched.
A thought she found unbelievable suddenly popped into her head: 'Could it be that I've fallen for him?'
Su Yan naturally didn't know what the girl was thinking.
After the motorcycle had been driving for a while, a figure also riding a motorcycle suddenly rushed up from behind, cruising side-by-side with Su Yan's bike.
Su Yan turned his head to look, but the other person was wearing a safety helmet, making it impossible to see their face.
He only heard a magnetic female voice coming from beneath the helmet. "Nice taste, young man. I have a similar motorcycle at home. Want to go for a spin with me?"
"I am in a good mood today. If you win, I might consider giving you a little reward!"
