After finishing the meal, Xu Nian took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and this time Yan Ze did not stop her and let her do it.
When Xu Nian finished cleaning up and came out of the kitchen, she saw Yan Ze slumped on the sofa, and the LCD TV on the wall was showing static.
My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly took out my phone to check. Sure enough, there was no signal.
"It seems we'll have to rely on ourselves," Yan Ze said, resting his chin on his hand in thought.
Xu Nianzhen sincerely said, "Then I'll go with you, Mr. Yan."
Xu Nian's sincere expression made Yan Ze laugh out loud, "Both of them have gone out, who's going to pick me up?"
“It’s too dangerous for Mr. Yan to go alone,” Xu Nian insisted.
"Don't panic, I have enough food stored up for the two of us to eat for half a month. The most important thing now is for you to fill all the pots and pans with water." Yan Ze reassured Xu Nian that even if there was no food, he would go find it himself. He would be more worried if Xu Nian came with him.
"Okay, Mr. Yan, I'll go get some water right away." Xu Nian hurriedly went into the kitchen to get water. After filling all the pots and pans, she found several other containers in the living room that could hold water.
After all that work, we've stored up quite a bit of water, enough for the two of us to use for half a month.
"We have water, and you don't need to worry about electricity. I'm using solar power." Yan Ze was telling Xu Nian that even if the water and electricity were cut off later, they could still cook, drink hot water, and take a shower if they had the means.
"Mr. Yan, I understand. Is there anything else you need me to do?" Xu Nian's straightforwardness made Yan Ze chuckle; this girl was truly honest.
She probably never imagined why he would take her in!
What would she do if she knew that he had ill intentions from the beginning?
Yan Ze found himself actually looking forward to it.
"You handle it, I'm going to take a nap." Yan Ze locked the bedroom door as soon as he entered and strode into the bathroom to take a shower.
Besides the sound of running water, the bathroom was filled with the increasingly heavy breathing of a man.
...
Xu Nian tidied up the living room. Feeling bored, she sat in front of the French windows and watched the zombies wandering outside. After watching for a while, she found that she wasn't so scared, except for the fact that they were ugly.
"Xu Nian, why are you looking at zombies?" Yan Ze, who had just come out of the shower, was full of energy. He followed Xu Nian's gaze but didn't find anything interesting to look at.
“After looking at them for a while, I won’t be afraid of them anymore.” Xu Nian’s honesty made Yan Ze reach out and pat her head.
"That's a good idea," Yan Ze said with a smile.
"Mr. Yan, you're already awake?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
"It's almost five o'clock, I'm going out to make dinner." Yan Ze said and turned to go into the kitchen. Xu Nian sat there without moving. She blinked and thought for a long time before lowering her head.
Yan Ze cooks so well, he must have cooked for himself because he didn't want to eat her cooking!
After a delicious dinner, Yan Ze brought over a glass of milk and said, "This will help you sleep. You were frightened today, so go to bed early tonight."
"Thank you, Mr. Yan." Xu Nian took the milk and looked at Yan Ze with great gratitude. She drank the milk only after it didn't smell strange.
After cleaning up the dishes, Xu Nian felt a bit tired. She said goodnight to Yan Ze and went to her room to take a shower.
However, she encountered a very embarrassing problem: she didn't have any clean clothes to change into.
After washing and hanging up her clothes wrapped in a bath towel, Xu Nian locked the door, climbed into bed, and went to sleep.
Time passed by, and the sky outside grew completely dark. Xu Nian gradually drifted off to sleep.
With a "click," the door that Xu Nian had locked was opened, and Yan Ze walked in openly. He stared at the sleeping person on the bed, a look of struggle flashing in his eyes.
In the end, he followed his heart and climbed up, but he gasped as soon as he touched it.
As he gazed at the sleeping man, the desire in his eyes intensified.
But there was no rush. His hands began to explore purposefully, until...
"You really are an honest and upright kid. I'll let you off the hook for today." Yan Ze withdrew his hand and silently left the room.
He stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette. The scarlet flame flickered, just like his restless heart.
Reason told him he shouldn't do it, but driven by desire, he still did the thing he once despised the most.
As Yan Ze was deep in thought, his satellite phone rang. After answering, the other end said, "Brother, I've started setting up a base here. Do you want to come over?"
"I won't go over there for now." Yan Ze was really reluctant to leave the person inside, and he was also planning to devour them as soon as possible.
The person on the other end of the phone was surprised: "Then I'll come pick you up after my base is built."
"Okay." Yan Ze agreed, thinking that by then he should be able to embrace the person in the room.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Ze extinguished his cigarette and went inside. He took one last deep look at Xu Nian's room before entering his own.
Good boy, don't keep me waiting too long, or I don't even know what I might do.
Xu Nian woke up early the next day and took down the clothes she had hung out to dry the night before. Luckily, the wind was strong at night and the clothes had dried.
As soon as Xu Nian stepped out of the room, her attention was drawn to the people in the living room.
His strong back was immediately noticeable, and the clearly defined muscles seemed to unleash their power with every movement.
With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, Yan Ze still looked incredibly alluring even though he was wearing dress pants.
Damn it, this man is exercising shirtless in the living room early in the morning. Who is he trying to seduce?
Just as Xu Nian finished thinking this, Yan Ze stopped what he was doing.
He turned around as if sensing something, and only when he saw it was Xu Nian did he speak up: "Sorry, I'm usually alone and I'm used to doing whatever I want. I'll go change my clothes right away."
Since that's what they said, Xu Nian could only lower her head and say, "I'm sorry for bothering Mr. Yan."
"Actually, you can call me by my name. You don't have to call me Mr. Yan. It makes me feel old," Yan Ze joked.
"Mr. Yan, I'll go make breakfast." Although Yan Ze told her to call him by his name, Xu Nian still called him Mr. Yan as soon as she spoke.
There's no other reason; she's staying at someone else's house, so she shouldn't be lacking in proper manners. Calling her by her name directly shows she can't tell the difference between a prince and a princess!
Xu Nian went into the kitchen and saw that, wow, he had already made breakfast.
She was supposed to be in charge of cooking and cleaning, but she hasn't even done half of that!
Serve the porridge and take it out, then grab a few steamed buns, and breakfast for the two of them is done.
However, during breakfast, for some reason, Yan Ze kept glancing at her intentionally or unintentionally.
Is there something on her face?
Xu Nian thought about it suspiciously for a moment. She hadn't dried her face after washing it, and her hands hadn't touched anything unclean, so what was Yan Ze looking at?
Could it be because she's still wearing yesterday's clothes?
this...…
The thought that she would only have this one outfit to wear from now on made Xu Nian feel uneasy. "Mr. Yan, if I may ask, do you have any suitable clothes for me to change into?"
"No, but I have a few brand new clothes here, do you want them?" Yan Ze said casually, but his eyes were secretly getting hotter.
She's so small, what would she look like wearing his clothes?
