The Walking Dead TWD

Chapter 172 Zhou Nan's Dream

Looking at the petite Beth in his arms, Zhou Nan didn't know what to do for a moment and could only let Beth cry and vent.

Beth soon got tired of crying. She leaned in Zhou Nan's arms, and the two of them sat in front of the fire.

The flickering firelight revealed the shadows of two people cuddling together.

"My mother's name is Annette. I always remember her as a very gentle person. She was my father Hershel's second wife and my sister Maggie's stepmother. She was very kind to us."

"I have a brother. His name is the same as the big guy in your team, Sean, but he was bitten."

"I was at the scene when my mother and brother died. I know very well that it is impossible for a person to survive with that amount of bleeding, but I still hold out hope that they will come back to life."

Zhou Nan is a qualified listener. When listening to others share their stories, he always listens carefully and never expresses his own opinions.

Beth talked about her deceased mother and brother, herself, her stubborn father Hershel, and finally Jimmy, whom she was about to marry.

There were some things that she felt more and more uncomfortable holding in her stomach, but now that she had found an audience, she was able to let them out and her mood improved a lot, returning to her original innocent and lovely self.

But Beth was still a little angry when discussing Jimmy.

She said that Jimi was a hypocritical person and sometimes even spoke rudely to her, but Jimi had never hit her. But Zhou Nan's arrival today made him seem like a different person.

"He threw me roughly onto the bed and tried to commit adultery, just because I said a few words to you."

"I desperately tried to hold on to my pants, but luckily you and my father came in time and prevented him from succeeding..."

Zhou Nan also knew from Beth's own narration that she was a Protestant. After listening to Beth's story, he quickly expressed his apologies.

"I'm sorry that my arrival has caused you so much trouble."

Beth's face was full of smiles again. "It's not your fault. This has nothing to do with you. Jimmy is just like that. That's his nature. On the contrary, I should thank you."

Zhou Nan asked in confusion, "Thank me for what?"

Beth smoothed her scattered hair. "Your arrival has made me see his true colors. Looking back, he always tried every possible way to prevent us from selling the farm. He has long regarded the farm as his own property."

Beth looked at Zhou Nan and added in her heart: "Besides, your coming made me see clearly that I am an unfaithful woman."

With this dangerous idea in mind, Beth gradually became bolder. She actually poked and touched Zhou Nan's abdominal muscles, which made Zhou Nan angry.

"Let's not talk about these troublesome topics anymore. Let's discuss your muscles."

"Wow, that's amazing, your abdominal muscles are so strong and hard," Beth praised while touching him. Who can resist that?

Zhou Nan quickly responded awkwardly, "It's too late. I'm going to bed. You should get some rest too. I'll just sleep on the floor. You should go back to bed and get some rest."

But although Zhou Nan said that, he had no intention of moving from the bench. He couldn't leave here unless Beth left!

Beth glanced at Zhou Nan in disapproval. "You're a guest, how can I let you sleep on the floor? It's very cold now, what if you catch a cold?"

"Wait for me to make the bed. Just listen to me and sleep on it today. My bed is very spacious and can accommodate the two of us without any problem."

After saying that, Beth got up and went into the house.

When Zhou Nan saw Beth enter the house, he immediately stood up and walked out of the house. It took him a while to evacuate the tent.

Zhou Nan wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, Beth did not see Zhou Nan's embarrassing scene, otherwise Zhou Nan would be ashamed.

After a while, Beth made her bed. Zhou Nan turned his head to look at the hard floor, then looked back at the soft bed.

The bed sheets were a light pink with delicate little flowers on them. There were several soft pillows placed beside the bed, each emitting a faint fragrance.

Except for the occasional whistling of the wind outside the window, everything seemed extremely quiet, but if you listen carefully, you can still catch Beth's soft breathing.

It’s not because there is a cute girl on the bed, but because Zhou Nan has been too busy these days and really needs a good rest.

So Zhou Nan finally chose to sleep on this soft bed.

Zhou Nan lay down on it, as if his whole body sank into it. Beth blushed and used massage to relax Zhou Nan's body.

Beth soon regretted it. She felt that this behavior was inappropriate and the hint she gave to Zhou Nan was too obvious.

She was very upset, then she mustered up the courage to look up at Zhou Nan, but she was surprised to find that Zhou Nan was sleeping comfortably?

This made Beth feel relieved, but at the same time, she felt inexplicably lost.

Outside the window, Jimmy clenched his fists in the cold wind. He was eavesdropping to see if there were any strange noises coming from inside.

After a long time, he loosened his fist and quietly left here, because it seemed that those things did not happen inside.

The next day, Zhou Nan was awakened by the sound of spatulas colliding. He looked around suddenly and found that Beth had disappeared. Instead, the aroma of cooking filled the air.

Looking at the sunlight reflected on the window paper, Zhou Nan realized that he had gotten up late, and he hurriedly put on the clothes Beth had prepared for him.

Beth personally went to the car to get the clothes for Zhou Nan, and Zhou Nan obviously realized this.

Zhou Nan came outside and saw Beth busy. He did not make a sound, but quietly admired the beautiful scenery in front of him, feeling that the years were peaceful.

Beth heated olive oil in a stew pot, then added chopped onion and a pinch of salt, then added garlic cloves, crushed them with a spatula and stir-fried.

She then added bacon, thyme leaves, tomatoes, peppers, salsa, and mustard to the cooked onions, then added the cooked beans and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Zhou Nan looked at the soft, rotten red mucus in Beth's pot and felt a little worried. He didn't know if he could eat it.

Beth propped herself up, her face flushed and her heart beat fast when she thought about what happened last night.

She clearly remembered that she was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by the movement around her. It turned out that the dazed Zhou Nan hugged her, and then gave her a kiss that suffocated her.

"It's one thing for him to be restless in his sleep, but he even talks in his sleep!" Beth muttered. Then she thought, "But who is this woman named Hannah that Zhou Nan mentioned?"

Her woman's intuition told her that this woman, whom Zhou Nan was thinking about even in his dreams, must be very important to him.

Just as she was thinking, Zhou Nan's voice suddenly came from behind her, which scared her so much that she almost jumped up.

"Beth, are you daydreaming? The food is almost burnt!"

Beth exclaimed, "Oh my God, my beans in tomato sauce!"
