Boss’s Death Guide-Chapter 8 - Nie Yi's Past

Chapter 8 - Nie Yi’s Past

Qi Jingchen swatted Nie Yi to warn him to not be excessive, then closed his eyes again.

After abruptly realizing that his plans were interrupted by Nie Yi’s rebirth, he had to properly think about what he should do next.

Nie Yi had always displayed an appearance of extreme harmlessness in front of him, but he knew that Nie Yi was, more often than not, actually much more ruthless.

Furthermore, among the people who have experienced the apocalypse, who wasn’t a little problematic psychologically? He only wanted to die, while Nie Yi…… He became completely perverted!

At that time, the ‘righteous’ expert who had mounted a sneak attack on him had his corpse quartered by Nie Yi after he died, broken down until it could not break anymore. He wasn’t sure what would happen after he committed suicide, nor what Qi Yaoyao would encounter.

This being the case, he couldn’t die, for now, so he might as well play it by ear. Speaking of, he still liked the current blue sky and white clouds, and lively people surrounding him.

Wanting him to live was certainly doable, but… since he couldn’t die, then he shouldn’t have to wrong himself again, such as eating… Why did he have to eat those disgusting food just to survive?

Qi Jingchen then made this decision. As for other things, like him unexpectedly being princess carried and such… he wasn’t even afraid of dying, so how could it be possible for him to care about this?

Nie Yi saw that Qi Jingchen unexpectedly didn’t refute after being introduced as ‘the person he likes’ and was immediately in a great mood, but this good mood only persisted for only a very small moment—even if Qi Jingchen liked him that way, it wasn’t possible for him to have no reaction at all. Now that he was unresponsive, the only possibility was that he felt that there was no need to respond because he had no desire to live.

Nie Yi’s expression immediately became ugly, and the surrounding pressure became even lower, forcing the Qi Yaoyao, who had gotten up with great difficulty and wanted to argue strongly against him, to immediately become unable to open her mouth. In the end, she could only hatefully wipe her tears and secretly make a resolution— she must keep a close eye on this person, and absolutely could not let this person bully her brother!

“Boss, this place’s smell isn’t that good, let’s go out first ba,” Ping Shengchao said, but his gaze was always on Qi Jingchen. He could understand his boss liking Yan Zhe. Not only was Yan Zhe good-looking, he was also outstanding in his studies, but this… this person, where on earth did he come from ah?!

His boss indeed had spoken a lot about the person he liked, but every time he described the person he liked, didn’t he always refer to Yan Zhe? Of course, it was a little embellished…

So, it was even more unrelated to the person before him! Those adjectives did not match this person at all!

Not even speaking of other things, for them who had left their home for over half a month during the apocalypse, they had looked down on these people who only knew how to lay in bed and wait for death when the apocalypse came in the first place.

But Nie Yi’s attitude was indeed like he was dearly in love with this person… Ping Shengchao was so confused that he couldn’t process anything right now.

Ping Shengchao’s voice had barely fallen when those two bodyguards had returned. “Young master, we’ve found a place to stay.”

“Let’s go.” Nie Yi picked Qi Jingchen up, then left first.

The two bodyguards found a place that was a floor below Qi Jingchen. The people living there was also a pair of husband and wife. On the day of the apocalypse, they just happened to be away, so now the apartment was clean and neat. This married couple probably didn’t turn on the stove often, as this apartment didn’t have any smell of rotten food. Instead, there was the smell of quite a few snacks.

When Qi Yaoyao followed Nie Yi down, she brought the can of powdered milk and the leftover rice packed into the bag on her back. If it was half a month ago, she probably wouldn’t have cared about this, but she now knew how important food was.

The others were the same. The people by Nie Yi’s side were all carrying bags and their bags basically had just food and water.

“What do you want to eat?” Once Nie Yi arrived, he then hurriedly asked the person in his embrace&#k2014; Qi Jingchen was now in such poor health. It was evident that he’d been starving.

“I want to bathe.” Qi Jingchen opened his eyes. He had been lying down for half a month, and his body was about to grow moldy. Originally he thought he was going to die, so there was no need to wash since he could just jump down from upstairs when the army arrived. Now, since he couldn’t die, he naturally had to allow himself to be more comfortable.

“I’ll help you wash!” Nie Yi immediately said.

“I’ll wash my ge!” Qi Yaoyao grit her teeth as she spoke. This person unexpectedly wanted to take advantage of her ge!

“……” Qi Jingchen was speechless for a time, then finally said, “I’ll wash myself.” Even though he was having a fever and had starved for a long time, it still wasn’t to the point where he was unable to bathe himself.

Nie Yi said with slight regret, “I’ll carry you in first.”

Qi Jingchen was too lazy to move, so naturally he wouldn’t decline. Nie Yi then immediately wanted a foot after being given an inch. “Then I’ll heat up the water beside you ba.”

“Boss, there’s no need for hot water with this weather ba? And do you know how to use the stove?” Ping Shengchao curled his lip. Nie Yi boiling bathing water? Did he see a ghost?

“Senior, we don’t have much water,” Yan Zhe said, his face was also ugly.

“This place’s households probably has someone who stored water, at least a bucketful or so, you go look.” Nie Yi ignored the two of them and directly looking at his two bodyguards. At the same time, he couldn’t help feeling annoyed— why hadn’t his water ability awaken yet? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be this troublesome.

The two bodyguards immediately went out. Nie Yi carried Qi Jingchen like this into the bathroom then put Qi Jingchen in the bathtub, conveniently shutting out the Qi Yaoyao who wanted to follow, so much that Qi Yaoyao could only knock on the door while yelling ‘ge’.

“I’ll help you undress?” Nie Yi spoke again.

“No need,” Qi Jingchen faintly said, then looked at Nie Yi. “When were you reborn?”

“Three days ago,” Nie Yi immediately replied.

“Your luck’s not bad, you still haven’t confessed ba?” Qi Jingchen thought of Yan Zhe’s expression that he saw before as he spoke indifferently.

Nie Yi coughed twice in embarrassment, yet felt a bit glad.

When he died by Qi Jingchen’s side, his heart had hurt for Qi Jingchen’s bitter experience in the beginning of the apocalypse, and when he realized he had reborn, he felt that he was lucky enough to have been reborn before he confessed to Yan Zhe…

The first person Nie Yi liked was Yan Zhe, even to the point that he had really, really liked Yan Zhe that year.

Even though the Nie family wasn’t the best in B city, it was still an influential family. His father was classified as one of those who were immediately escorted to a secure base when the apocalypse came. In this case, he received the best education since his childhood and there was someone always following wherever he went. From childhood until his high school graduation, he had always appeared very dazzling, until his third year in high school when he discovered he liked men.

At that time, he had panicked and firmly rejected staying in B city to study in college. Instead, he went to the south. After he went to the south, he deliberately got to know a few people who ‘played freely’, wanting to understand more of this aspect, even going to the red-light district several times intending to observe and emulate.

And then… He was immediately thrown into the army by his grandfather.

In a family like his, they were most afraid of their children becoming hedonistic children of rich parents. If he looked for a little miss to fall in love with, his grandfather definitely wouldn’t care, but he had contacted those that they saw as unsavoury people, so his grandfather had immediately reacted.

At that time, his heart was a mess and he refused to go to the army. Following after, he spent two whole years in the army, learnt a lot of things and had performed very well. His family saw his performance and wanted him to study in a military school from then on and develop in this area, but he refused.

He was at a loss when he first realized he liked men, but during his stay in the army for two years, contrary to what one might expect, he thought about it thoroughly and understood.

He liked the army very much, but to stay in the army, he feared he might spend a lifetime hiding his inclination, and this wasn’t the life he wanted.

Two years after he joined the army, he re-entered college. Not long after, he started setting up his own company and even started liking a junior, that person was Yan Zhe.

In the beginning, he honestly really, really liked Yan Zhe and was very considerate of Yan Zhe because of this like.

He knew that his family definitely wouldn’t accept him liking men so he had never confessed, but the people by his side, especially Ping Shengchao, had faintly guessed it out.

He had planned on cultivating feelings with Yan Zhe first, then openly be with him after he gained enough authority to speak, so even though he didn’t confess, he had done all sorts of hinting.

Then the apocalypse came.

When the apocalypse arrived, according to reason, he could have waited at home for the army to assist him, but the army would only rescue him and wouldn’t even bother to rescue Yan Zhe, Ping Shengchao and the rest.

Ping Shengchao was his childhood friend, even though he was always behind him serving as a subordinate. It was obvious that no one would save him, because his father had committed a crime and gone to jail many years ago. There was no need to say anymore about Yan Zhe, as he basically had no background. As for Shao Zhenglan, the reason she was following them was because she was unlucky. Too many of her close relatives had become zombies or had lost their lives in the first moments of the apocalypse, to the extent that no one could care for her.

In short, because of these various reasons, he hadn’t sat in the helicopter heading straight to B city when the apocalypse came. Instead, he got some guns and ammunition, then took on an exploration mission from the military while he journeyed and set out with his own team.

When the apocalypse came, a lot of people died at once, and the whole social order had collapsed, so homosexuality seemed to be considered as nothing.

With this in mind, he looked after Yan Zhe increasingly well while they were journeying north. Later, when they were approaching B city, he even confessed…

Thank goodness he was reborn before he had confessed, or else he feared that he would be nauseated again… Nie Yi looked at Qi Jingchen before him, then thought of Yan Zhe outside, and almost immediately made a decision.

Yan Zhe, in short, could not stay.

After he confessed to Yan Zhe in his past life, Yan Zhe didn’t immediately agree, only saying that he wanted to try to get along.

The year he had just discovered his sexuality, it wasn’t long before he was sent to the army, and he didn’t dare do anything at all after he returned because he was worried his parents would find out. It could be said that he had absolutely zero experience in love, and there was a lot going on during the apocalypse, to the extent that he thought that what Yan Zhe said was reasonable, so he started to ‘get along’ with Yan Zhe.

During the apocalypse, they had experienced a lot of things together and had established a battle squadron. But thanks to the rare double-ability user identity he had, he attracted trouble, then his ability began to riot……

To humanity, abilities were an entirely strange and unfamiliar thing. No one knew how it came to be how to cultivate it, even in classifying levels. In the beginning, the military used the form of the ‘ability nucleus’ seen in their brains to rank them after the scanning of the bodies of many ability users. Back then, if an ability user wanted to know their level, they needed to do a brain CT scan on themselves.

Even after this was created, humanity’s ability users had achieved the third level, no one knew how to ascend to the fourth level, and could only allow the ability in their body accumulate. The stronger the ability user, the more impossible it was for them to ascend to the fourth level, thus resulting in the ability riot. For a double-ability user like him, the riot was especially severe.

Quite a few powerful ability users had already died, and he thought that he wouldn’t be able to hold on anymore, so he handed over all the affairs of the team to Yan Zhe and Jiang Huai. He could already be said to be extremely devoted to Yan Zhe, but he never thought that Yan Zhe was unhappy and would unexpectedly betray him to his foe. And then when they were rescuing a secure base, Yan Zhe allowed his abilities to riot on purpose and then threw him into a crowd of zombies.

The secure base he had gone to save, was where Qi Jingchen was kept in captivity at that time, and even the destruction of the secure base had something to do with Qi Jingchen.

Qi Jingchen’s blood appeased the riot of the abilities, and the reason he originally went to save the base was to obtain the ‘miracle panacea’. Of course, at that time, he didn’t know that secured base’s so-called panacea was actually Qi Jingchen’s flesh.

When he was injured by a zombie, all his hopes had turned to dust, but he never thought that he would see a crowd of zombies surrounding a container, and within the container was even a person that didn’t seem like a person……

He thought that since he wouldn’t survive, he might as well stake his life and receive grievous injuries to save that person and send him to a safe area. That person was Qi Jingchen.

The matters after that was that Qi Jingchen suddenly awakened and conversely saved him, then the two of them took revenge together……

To be able to start over again, was really good……

Nie Yi looked at Qi Jingchen in the bathtub, and his gaze was especially soft.

Qi Jingchen, however, felt a little bothered by Nie Yi’s gaze that seemed as if he wanted to strip him bare and took the soap beside him to throw it over. “Get out!”

The soap smacked against Nie Yi’s leg, then tumbled onto the ground, following the glossy and ceramic tiles to slide out of the door.

Nie Yi obediently opened the door and got out, in passing… picked up the soap.
