Xu Nian is currently wearing jeans and a T-shirt, with sneakers on her feet.
The original owner of this body was a simple person, which made it easier for her to escape.
Holding a stick she'd picked up from the roadside, Xu Nian dodged the zombies and slipped into a nearby upscale residential area.
She entered this neighborhood for no other reason than because there were fewer zombies here than in other places.
Xu Nian was running through the stairwell of the apartment building, looking for a room that would be easier to enter.
Suddenly, a door behind her opened, and a large hand grabbed her arm and pulled her into the room.
Xu Nian was terrified and tried to retaliate with her stick, but the man easily caught it. He looked at her unhappily and said, "Are you out of your mind? Running around in the stairwell at a time like this."
Seeing that this person didn't have any bad intentions towards her for the time being, Xu Nian said with a look of panic, "There are all those things outside, I want to find a place to hide."
"With your skinny arms and legs, how are you going to open those doors? Don't make any noise and attract those things to devour you until there's nothing left." The man's contemptuous tone made Xu Nian lower her head.
She clutched her T-shirt, looking down and appearing very sad.
"I wasn't talking about you, I was just stating the facts." The man wanted to explain, but after explaining, he felt it would have been better not to explain at all, so he gave up.
“I know, but we have to try,” Xu Nian said stubbornly.
“No need to try. This building is equipped with security door combination locks. You can’t open it without the key. There are all those things outside. You can stay here for now, and we’ll leave together when the rescue team arrives.” The man explained the predicament she would face if she went out and wandered around, and invited her to stay here temporarily.
"Really? Thank you so much! But I don't have anything of value to give you back, sir." Xu Nian quickly looked up, her grateful gaze startling the man, before she awkwardly turned her head away.
"I didn't take you in for nothing. You'll be responsible for cooking and cleaning these next few days," the man said businesslike as he sat down on the sofa.
"It's what I should do. It's nothing that you took me in." Xu Nian was grateful again. If he hadn't let her do anything, she really would have considered running away.
"You'll be staying in the guest room for the next few days. It's on your left behind you, and there are bedding inside." The man didn't want to be too enthusiastic, lest he scare her away.
"Thank you. I still don't know how to address you?" Xu Nian was a little embarrassed, having only remembered to ask the person's name after being inside for so long!
"My name is Yan Ze, you can just call me by my name." As Yan Ze spoke, he secretly sized up Xu Nian. She was an ordinary girl, but why did she make him unable to take his eyes off her?
Yan Ze didn't understand what was wrong with him. He heard someone running in the corridor and then looked through the peephole.
Even though he could only see the other person's eyes, he instinctively opened the door and pulled the person inside.
When he saw the other person's panicked eyes, his heart started racing and his blood rushed to his head. He longed for those eyes to look at him with teary eyes.
Yan Ze was shocked. He swore that he was not a pervert and had never had any special fetishes.
But today, he actually had such shameful thoughts about a girl he had just met.
The most crucial thing is that, as time went on, his inner thoughts gradually became firmer.
It is clamoring, it is yearning.
It was slowly destroying his sanity.
Yan Ze didn't know when he would lose his composure, but it wasn't realistic to ask the girl to leave at this point.
Putting aside the question of whether he was willing to give them up, the dangers outside alone wouldn't allow him to drive them away.
Seeing Yan Ze staring intently at her, Xu Nian guessed he was still waiting for her to reveal her identity, so she said, "My name is Xu Nian. I work at a furniture store nearby. I came out today to run some business, but I didn't expect such a huge change to happen when I walked down the street."
"Are you all alone?" Yan Ze asked, his eyes flickering.
"I'm all alone." Xu Nian's timid appearance reassured Yan Ze.
It's good that I don't have a boyfriend. If I did, I'd have to consider moral issues, even though it's the end of the world now.
"Go tidy up your room first, then rest for a bit. You don't need to be so reserved." Yan Ze wanted to get the person out of his sight, otherwise he was really afraid that he might do something out of line.
“Okay, Mr. Yan.” Xu Nian entered the guest room Yan Ze had mentioned, opened the wardrobe, and took out bedding to make the bed.
After tidying everything up, Xu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief; at least she now had a place to stay.
Yan Ze seems like a nice person; judging from his manner of speaking, he's more likely a warm-hearted one.
Is it really okay for a single man and woman to live together?
As Xu Nian was thinking this, she looked up and saw a mirror opposite her, and her reflection was really quite ordinary.
Aside from having fair skin, her face is completely unremarkable—a round face with a flat nose; she's the kind of ordinary person you wouldn't notice in a crowd.
Moreover, this body is only about 1.58 meters tall and is fleshy all over, which is completely out of step with the current popular aesthetic standards.
Thinking of Yan Ze's tough face, his height of over 1.8 meters and his muscular body, it's hard to believe he still lives in such an area.
Regardless of his own qualities or the circumstances he developed, this person shouldn't have been interested in her.
It's not that Xu Nian is insecure, but rather that it's really hard for two people who aren't on the same level to come together.
Of course, if someone has ulterior motives from the start, then the answer is different.
It's almost lunchtime.
Since she had promised to take care of cooking and cleaning, Xu Nian didn't refuse and immediately opened the door and went out.
