The Comments Shipped Him with Her, but He Loved Me Chapter 02

Soon, a pale woman crawled out of the bushes.

Her clothes were torn to shreds by zombies, barely covering her curves—just the perfect level of skin for a female lead…

My gaze snapped to Damon.

He looked flustered, unsure where to look.

Dylan, however, stayed cautious.

“Are you infected?”

“How did you get those injuries?”

The female lead, Fiona, explained pitifully that she wasn’t infected—her wounds came from falling during her escape.

“Can you help me?”

“I can’t survive out here alone.”

“Please take me with you…”

“I’ll do anything if you save me.”

Anything?

While my mind wandered, another wave of comments scrolled by.

[Our poor sweetheart—how much did she suffer to get here?]

[Why won’t the male lead look at her? Is her figure too distracting?]

[Forget the strawberries—take her back to base. She’ll give you all the strawberries you’ll ever want!]

[By ‘strawberries’ you’d better mean the real kind…]

[Straw…]

[Berries…]

I stared wide-eyed, buzzing with anticipation.

Damon hesitated.

I couldn’t hold back anymore—I burst out and yelled at him.

“Damon!”

“Forget the strawberries! It’s too dangerous out here—take her back to base now!”

At the sound of my voice, three faces turned to me in shock.

“Miss, how did you get out here?!”

Damon’s voice was full of worry.

“Whoa—you tailed us the whole way? That’s creepier than a zombie!” Dylan blurted.

He was about to say more, but Damon shut him down with a glare.

“Oh, I was worried about you guys, so I came to check.”

“Enough talk—if the zombies find us now, we’re done for.”

“Let’s get back to base!”

I grinned, trying to look friendly.

Damon nodded and stuck close to guard me.

“That girl looks pretty banged up. Damon, don’t worry about me—carry her back.”

I shot him a meaningful look.

He refused without glancing back.

“Who knows if she’s infected? What if she turns on the way?”

Me: “…”

You idiot!

Why’d you have to say that out loud?

She’s the female lead!

Fine, you’ll be eating your words when you’re groveling at her feet later.

In the end, Dylan carried Fiona back to base and put her in quarantine for observation.

Damon, though, stayed glued to my side all the way to my room.

“Why are you following me?” I asked, annoyed, as I turned around.

My legs were killing me from all that walking.

I dropped onto the couch and started rubbing my calves.

The next second, Damon dropped to his knees in front of me.
