Chapter 211 - 141 Sleep Together_2
Shana was quite excited to get her SC; the gun felt like compensation for the lack of any substantial strength improvement despite working the night shifts with Lin Wu. Moreover, its light and handy build made it her new favorite. Without a zombie in sight to kill, Shana even considered whether to shoot at Lin Wu just to test the feel of the gun.
The downside of the sanctuary was system-controlled fatigue; without a System Bed, you couldn’t enter system sleep. With nothing to do, the two people could only chat in front of the burning fire. Around three in the morning, Shana stepped out of the room and turned back excitedly, "Lin Wu, it’s snowing."
Lin Wu came out too, incredulous at the sight of the snowflakes wafting down from the sky, "Is this how snow falls?" In Lin Wu’s memory, snow fell grain by grain, like small hail. Don’t underestimate small hail; if it gathered into the size of a fist, it could enjoy the treatment of an internet sensation, with passersby coming over to take pictures for keepsakes.
Although Shana also lived in the subtropics, her family was well-off, and they nearly went to the north every year to enjoy the snow and go ice skating. Even so, as she gazed up at the sky, there was always a happy smile on her face, and she couldn’t help but spin circles in the snow.
"Childish."
Shana instantly grabbed Lin Wu, who thought he was about to be hit, but instead, Shana stuffed a snowball down the back of his neck. He might be resistant to cold but not to snow; the sensation made him feel like he had swallowed a box of ice cream whole. He immediately launched a counterattack, with a left sweep and a right cross, knocking Shana to the ground. As she fell, he carefully supported her, gently laying her down.
Shana’s laughter continued as she happily rolled around in the snow. Lin Wu was also infected by her joy, looking up at the heavy snow falling from the sky. But when he came to his senses, he saw Shana sitting in the snow, her head buried in her knees, occasionally wiping her eyes with her fingers.
"What’s the matter, girl, did the cold make you cry?" Lin Wu sat down a few meters away. It was best to maintain manners and be cautious when dealing with an emotional girl, or else the following could happen. One: getting hugged, which could lead to love. Two: getting beaten up. Three: getting cursed out.
Shana lifted her head, touched the tears at the corner of her eye, and smiled, "I miss my mom and dad."
