"Brother, stop right now!!"
Yang Yiyi screamed and ran over to grab Yang Shize's arm, "Brother Zhang is my savior and idol! Let go of him!"
Upon hearing this, the young man—no, Yang Shize—released his grip.
Seeing that Yang Yiyi actually wanted to help Zhang Yun herself, he quickly pulled his sister away with one hand, protected her behind him, and extended a hand to Zhang Yun.
Being suddenly disliked by the owner of this face made Zhang Yun feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
He stood up, holding Yang Shize's hand.
"Let's go inside and talk," Yang Yiyi said fearfully, closing the door behind her.
The three went back into the house. Yang Yiyi wanted her brother to wash up and bandage his wounds first, since he was covered in blood and looked rather frightening.
But how could Yang Shize allow his sister to be alone with him without finding out Zhang Yun's background?
Yang Yiyi could only quickly and concisely recount how she met Zhang Yun before looking at Yang Shize and asking, "Brother, what about you? How did you end up in such a terrible state?"
After listening to his sister's explanation, Yang Shize realized that he had misunderstood Zhang Yun.
Ignoring his sister's question, he said to Zhang Yun, "I'm sorry, I apologize for my rudeness just now. If you want to beat me up to vent your anger, I will not fight back."
"It's nothing, I understand how you feel. It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. You should take care of your wounds quickly," Zhang Yun said hurriedly.
Yang Shize nodded, looked at his sister beside him, and then turned his gaze back to Zhang Yun, "Could you do me a favor?"
"..."
Yang Shize sat naked in the room, his back and chest covered in grotesque, crisscrossing wounds.
Zhang Yun was sitting in the chair behind him, disinfecting him with alcohol.
Applying alcohol-soaked cotton swabs to the wound was even more painful than if the wound had reopened. Although Yang Shize didn't utter a sound of pain, his body trembled uncontrollably.
Suddenly, he felt a cool breeze brushing against the wound where he was applying medicine, relieving his pain.
He was blowing air into the wound!
When this thought crossed his mind, Yang Shize's heart started racing.
He opened his mouth to tell him that he didn't need to do that, but his lips moved for a long time without him being able to utter a single word.
"You've awakened too, haven't you?" His wounds were clearly new, yet they healed very quickly.
This phenomenon was definitely not normal, so Zhang Yun stopped pretending to be stupid.
"Awakening?" Yang Shize snapped back to reality. "My body has indeed undergone strange changes. If this is what you call awakening... But I'm curious, how did you know?"
Then he remembered the word "also" in Zhang Yun's words, "Could it be that you are too?"
Zhang Yun said, "That's right. When the apocalypse first came, I hid and was unconscious for a few minutes. When I woke up, I found that I had the ability to have a personal space. According to the novels, I should have awakened a superpower. What about you?"
"I don't have the kind of ability you described. I just have increased strength, speed, a clearer mind, faster wound healing, and I'm less likely to die," Yang Shize said directly.
“It seems we’re on different paths. I’ve only awakened my superpowers; my body is still the same as before. What you’ve done should be called evolution.”
Yang Shize's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to ask him again when he heard Zhang Yun say, "That's enough."
It turned out that Zhang Yun had already disinfected, applied medicine, and bandaged him.
Yang Shize was suddenly surprised to find that the time for applying the medicine had passed so quickly.
It was over before he even started feeling pain!
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
His wound was actually already healing on its own.
Based on the recovery speed of a first-tier evolved being, these external injuries will be completely healed in three days at most.
After the bandage was finished, Zhang Yun and Yang Shize left the room together.
Yang Yiyi sat on the sofa, disgruntled. "Brother, what are you doing? Why are you being so secretive? Why can't I see it?"
"..."
A hint of helplessness appeared on Yang Shize's face, but he clearly doted on his younger sister and never refuted her no matter what she said.
Zhang Yun smiled and made an excuse for him, "Yiyi, you're a grown woman now. Your brother's injury requires you to take off your pants to get it treated, so of course you should leave."
"Take off your pants? Bro, you, did you damage your manhood and become impotent?!" Yang Yiyi exclaimed in shock.
"Pfft!" Zhang Yun couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand to suppress his laughter, but his body was trembling uncontrollably.
Yang Shize's handsome face instantly turned ashen with anger. "Where did all this nonsense come from?! I told you to read less online novels!!"
"What's wrong with me reading novels? You leave me alone at home and won't let me go on any trips, so of course I need to read more books and broaden my knowledge, otherwise I'll be taken advantage of and still be helping the seller count the money!"
Yang Yiyi stood with her hands on her hips and argued with Yang Shize. The weak and pitiful obedient girl she had when they first met was completely gone.
Indeed, women always have two faces, no matter how old they are!
Zhang Yun silently wiped the sweat from his brow.
Yang Shize fell silent at the mention of leaving her alone at home.
Yang Shize's sister was a character without even a name in the script generated by the system. She was hastily eliminated as cannon fodder with only the line, "She found no one at home, and thinking that her sister might have been... she was so grief-stricken that she collapsed."
Zhang Yun never imagined that the girl he casually saved would turn out to be the protagonist's only relative.
"Oh right, big brother, weren't you looking for your friend?" Yang Yiyi remembered Zhang Yun's matter.
Zhang Yun originally came here to find Yang Shize. Now that he's been found, although there was a slight mishap, it's not a big problem.
"I just checked my phone and found that he had messaged me a while ago, saying that he was also trapped and couldn't come for the time being, and that I should find a place to hide for a while."
Zhang, the liar, said this.
"But it's so dangerous outside, and the car we came in is totaled. Where can you go?" Yang Yiyi asked with concern.
“I don’t know either. Cars are easy to get; they’re everywhere. It’s just that my old rented apartment is in a busy downtown area, so getting back there might take some effort,” Zhang Yun frowned.
"Then you might as well stay at our house. It's so dangerous outside, you shouldn't go out and take risks," Yang Yiyi said hurriedly.
"this……"
Zhang Yun glanced at Yang Shize, who remained silent and exuded an unwelcoming aura, and shrugged. "Let's forget it. It's too much trouble for you."
"How could this be trouble!"
As Yang Yiyi spoke, she kicked her brother who was sitting next to her.
"You saved my life and even took me home. My brother and I don't know how to repay you. Please stay and let us treat you well!"
Yang Shize was unwilling to let Zhang Yun stay.
Men, when they see their own wife starting to favor someone else, will inevitably feel some resentment towards that "outsider."
Especially the Yang family, who were his only relatives.
But after being reminded by his sister, and remembering that Zhang Yun had saved her life, Yang Shize, though somewhat dissatisfied, could only suppress his anger.
"If you insist on leaving, I'll see you off," Yang Shize said coldly.
This is because they don't want to owe anyone a favor!
Zhang Yun knew that this was his personality. He would cherish and pamper the people he cared about, but he would be as cold as ice to the people he didn't care about, and he would think that saying a single word was too much.
Despite understanding, Zhang Yun still felt uneasy.
It was as if he had just thrown himself out of his heart into the freezing cold.
Zhang Yun was somewhat confused, but on the surface he looked relieved: "In that case, I'll take my leave. Actually, I was just pretending. I'm really afraid to go outside."
"Hahaha... Brother Zhang, you really are something!"
Yang Yiyi laughed loudly, and even Yang Shize's slightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Wanting to treat Zhang Yun well, Yang Yiyi had her brother talk to him while she went to the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal.
But instead of having Yang Shize talk to him, it was better to give him a game console to entertain himself. After Yiyi left, the two sat awkwardly facing each other the whole time.
Later, Zhang Yun couldn't stand it anymore and started a conversation, "Can you still access the internet at your place? If you can, I'll go online and check the news."
"I just tried, there's no signal anymore."
As Yang Shize spoke, he turned on the TV with the remote control, only to find the screen filled with static. "The TV signal is gone too."
Seeing Zhang Yun frown, Yang Shize added, "The phone's text messaging function still works. If you're worried about your family..."
"Oh, I'm an orphan."
Yang Shize tightened his grip on the remote control, his tone softening slightly, "...I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhang Yun sighed, "At least I have enough time to get over my grief. From today onwards, those who are left with only themselves are the ones who need more sympathy."
Upon hearing this, Yang Shize turned and stared at him intently for a long while before finally speaking: "I owe you a life."
"Don't make it so serious. I'll save whoever's on the shelves today, no matter who it is. Don't worry about it, really," Zhang Yun said.
"You may not take it seriously, but I will still remember my promise today."
Okay, if he wasn't stubborn, he wouldn't be the main character!
Zhang Yun gave up arguing with him about the issue and laughed, "Then it's up to you."
What are you talking about?
Yiyi ran over like a little bird.
"Let's just chat." Seeing the cute little girl appear, Zhang Yun smiled. "Is dinner ready?"
Yang Yiyi nodded and said, "Big brother is really amazing! My brother is such a quiet person, it's rare for anyone to talk to him for more than three sentences without getting angry! It's a miracle I'm still alive!"
As she spoke, she glared at Yang Shize and said, "What are you looking at? Get up and eat."
Seeing Yang Shize's face turn pale again, Zhang Yun couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Yang Shize looked at him unhappily.
"No, I just think you two siblings have a really good relationship." Zhang Yun smiled at him.
Yang Shize was taken aback when he saw his smile.
A strange feeling welled up inside him, leaving him momentarily at a loss.
He quickly looked away.
Zhang Yun and Yang Yiyi did not notice anything unusual about him. The two of them had already walked to the dining table and sat down while chatting and laughing.
Yang Yiyi's cooking skills are absolutely top-notch; Zhang Yun thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
Seeing Zhang Yun's eating habits, Yang Shize couldn't help but mock him, "Have you been starving for three days?" He was then silenced by Yang Yiyi's retort, "You're not much better yourself."
Sleeping at night is another problem.
Because the Yang family only has two bedrooms.
"I'll sleep on the sofa," Zhang Yun said readily.
Yang Shize said in a deep voice, "I'll sleep on the sofa, you sleep on the bed."
Yang Yiyi, hands on her hips, stormed off: "Why are you sleeping on the sofa? It won't hurt you two men to sleep in one bed!"
Then he kicked them both into Yang Shize's room and slammed the door shut.
"..."
After an awkward moment of eye contact, Zhang Yun spoke up, "How about I sleep on the floor?"
Yang Shize said quietly, "There's only one quilt."
"That……"
"Let's sleep together."
Before Zhang Yun could say anything more, Yang Shize was already lying on the bed.
Although Zhang Yun's memories were erased, he still vaguely knew that he had turned the protagonists of the two previous worlds gay.
But this world is different; the main characters have official romantic partners!
It's not the kind of harem where the main characters are united for personal gain or responsibility; it's the kind where they truly share life and death, love and companionship.
What if it gets bent again...?
The main character has already lay down, but he's dawdling around here. Yang Shize already doesn't have a good impression of him, and if he misunderstands that he dislikes him, will he end up as cannon fodder when fighting zombies later?
He vaguely remembered that in the ancient mission world, when the protagonist and cannon fodder were the ones who brought those disobedient leaders to join them, this tactic was used very skillfully.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yun went over, lifted the blanket, and lay down next to him.
"Um, I might not be a very quiet sleeper. If I disturb you, just kick me out of bed."
"...Oh." Yang Shize was silent for a moment before replying with this sentence.
“I’m not kidding, seriously, just kick me awake!” Zhang Yun added earnestly.
"I know." Seemingly impatient with him, Yang Shize turned his back to him.
Only after receiving his answer did Zhang Yun close his eyes in relief.
After a moment, when he heard Zhang Yun's steady breathing, Yang Shize couldn't help but turn over and look at Zhang Yun.
Having experienced something like the end of the world, this guy is still able to sleep. Yang Shize has to admire his mentality.
Moreover, his face is really handsome.
During the day, Yang Shize didn't dare to look at him closely, but now that it was late at night and the person next to him was asleep, Yang Shize could finally indulge in admiring him.
With delicate features and a gentle, handsome profile, when he closes his eyes, a gentle and tranquil aura emanates from within.
Thinking back to that fleeting smile during the day, he must be a gentle person.
Yang Shize was stunned without realizing it.
He was engrossed in watching when the person in front of him suddenly turned to face him, their face almost touching, which startled him.
So close!
Seeing that Zhang Yun's eyes were still closed, Yang Shize knew that Zhang Yun had just unconsciously turned over in his sleep, and his heart, which had been in his throat, was finally put at ease again.
Their faces were almost touching; Zhang Yun's long, thick eyelashes were right in front of him, and her warm breath sprayed onto his lips.
Yang Shize suddenly felt a tightness in his throat and a dryness in his mouth, and an inexplicable impulse rose in his heart.
Before he could figure out what that strange feeling was, Zhang Yun suddenly leaned closer, wrapped her arms around his neck, put her legs around his waist, and rubbed her face against his neck.
Yang Shize had slept with men before; in the military academy, there were people who came to stay with him because they didn't bring their own blankets.
When I was living with them, I didn't feel anything at all. No matter how close we were, I just felt annoyed by being squeezed and wanted to kick them off.
But when that soft body with a faint fragrance pressed against him, Yang Shize felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen, and even that rarely reacted area became sensitive.
But the man's thigh, which was draped over him, was restless, rubbing against him and accidentally touching a place he shouldn't have. Yang Shize's mind went blank.
