**Chapter 42: Fourth Morning**
A fragrant smell wafts through the air.
The bodies of the two girls are, for me, like fresh strawberries—sweet and tangy, with a hint of cream, making it almost like strawberry milk.
They dedicated the most beautiful parts of their lives to me during their brightest moments.
Realizing this only makes me want to cherish them even more.
Although I had practiced this in my dreams, actually doing it in reality feels like staying awake while slipping into a dream.
My consciousness blurs as the overly ambiguous atmosphere makes my brain feel as hot and soft as a freshly steamed egg cake.
After it ends, is there really any end to what I want to say?
It seems I won’t be able to participate in today’s activities.
I should go report to Lily.
Thinking that, I told them I was just going to report and would be back soon, but they didn’t want to let me leave.
They didn’t express it with words, but their unwillingness to let me go conveyed the feeling that they didn’t want to part with me, even for a moment.
If I weren’t a zombie, I might suffocate from the intensity.
Ah, that’s right! I can’t forget the antidote.
I mustn’t neglect this important matter. If those two adorable girls suddenly rolled their eyes and turned into zombies, it wouldn’t be a romance story; it’d be a horror film.
To play it safe, I keep the medication on hand. With two hours left before it takes effect, I might as well take it now—taking one and a half pills means I can also take a short nap.
I put one and a half pills of the antidote in my mouth and watched as Lianbing and Lanhua made a wry smile.
I should have realized—they aren’t ordinary, fragile girls; they are dangerous girls.
I should have anticipated what might happen after taking the final step.
The earlier moments were filled with pure love and selfless dedication, wrapped in warmth. Everything they gave me was for my sake, expressing their affection.
But now it’s different. The two of them harbor an obsession for me—madness, fervor, longing, possessiveness—all mixed together. Honestly, it makes me a bit uneasy, yet I can only accept it with a wry smile.
It’s certainly unfair that I alone benefit. I should also give them equal love, accepting both the good and the bad parts.
And to be honest, this isn’t a bad thing for me.
Every inch of my skin feels like it’s melting away, every cell rising, every sense vibrating with pleasure, reaching a state of blissful detachment.
I feel my body slowly relax, becoming lighter and increasingly detached, filled with an unbearable heat swirling with a dying breath.
I really want to open a window to let in some fresh air and have the summer breeze carry away this stuffiness.
Suddenly, I feel tired.
So very fatigued.
Clearly, zombies shouldn’t feel fatigue, yet I find myself exhausted for the first time in ages.
Tired means it’s time to sleep.
I never expected things would develop this way.
It feels too dreamlike.
It’s as if I’m living in a dream.
Ah, could it be that up until now, I’ve actually been dreaming?
The more I think about it, the more plausible it seems. I suddenly remember the scene from the spiral nightmare, where I felt a profound sense of ambiguity, leading me to realize that I may have been immersed in a dream.
The more I ponder this, the more real it seems. Perhaps I miscalculated the timing and took too much of the antidote, resulting in being caught in a prank by the principal after falling asleep.
“Ah, so it was all just a dream.”
“Ah, haha! I kept wondering how that fantastical development could happen—it turns out it was just my dream.”
I suddenly wake up and feel for the first time that reality seems so unreal.
What the heck? Really?
“Hm? What’s wrong?” Lanhua mumbles as she rubs her eyes and leans against me, still groggy. “Isn’t it only five in the morning?”
“Lanhua?!”
“Why are you still calling me Lanhua? Yesterday, you clearly called me Lan! Come on, just call me Lan~ Hoo hoo~”
“Why did I fall asleep?”
“Yesterday, I fed you some water ice. You said you wanted to try that with sleeping you—seriously, can you believe there are such perverse tendencies? You should really stop hanging out with that pervert of a woman.”
“You really did feed me medicine!”
And for that kind of reason!
“Yeah, I went to get the antidote from the class monitor. Even though you’re a zombie, I figured with so much energy consumed, you’d need some rest. I’m glad to see you’re so lively now, hee hee~.”
“Am I the last to wake up? Hehehe, did you sleep well, Juncheng?”
At that moment, Lianbing also woke up, exchanging a glance with Lanhua and nodding in agreement.
Could this be the ultimate strategy?
As long as we’re all in bed together, everything will be fine?
“Ahhhh…”
No, I’m starting to feel overwhelmed.
Looking back, the events of this day and night are just too absurd. My rationality is now screaming in my mind, “Dude, look at all the crazy things you’ve done!”
“This is truly extravagant.”
Just like that, an entire day flew by, skipping to the fourth day of vacation.
It really can be said to be “one day, one night,” haha.
Lianbing and Lanhua kissed my cheek before leaning against my shoulder, whispering in my ear,
“This is all your fault.”
“Please take responsibility.”
Ah, haha…
I might never escape this tender trap.
I… have truly perished.
A zombie, truly lost to loss.
