6: Take off your coat, you're hurting me!
Chapter 6: Take off your jacket, you're hurting me! (Please keep reading)
Lu Zheng didn't look at the message Yu Zihan sent; instead, he was chatting with another girl.
This girl was very sensible. After adding her as a friend, she immediately sent a photo.
"Senior, I want to come to you for refuge. Do you think I'm suitable?"
"Ding! Survivor detected. Scanning..."
"Name: Zheng Jingyi"
"Age: Nineteen"
"Identity: First-year Computer Science student at Canglan University, a well-known cosplay blogger on a certain platform."
"Assessment: Lost her parents at a young age, grew up resilient, maintained her integrity, studied diligently, and was admitted to a top university with the help of villagers. Later, to raise money for a child in her village who needed medical treatment, she became a cosplay blogger, donating ninety percent of her earnings to those in need in her village. She is kind-hearted, reasonable, moral, true to herself, graceful, and charming."
"Conclusion: Meets the three requirements of 'virtuous,' 'beautiful,' and 'intelligent.' Successful protection. You will receive a High-Grade Material Card."
Zheng Jingyi knew exactly what she was doing.
At seven, her mother left. At eight, her father got drunk one night and fell to his death. At nine, her grandmother, who had been taking care of her, also passed away from illness.
But she didn't fall into depravity because she lost her family.
She was born in a remote mountain village. No one took her to an orphanage, so she ate meals from various households in the village.
Because she was sweet-spoken and willing to help with chores, the villagers were also very kind, and they all helped raise her.
And she was very promising. After starting school, her grades were always first in her class, and she later received government subsidies, advancing through her education.
During the summer vacation of her third year of high school, she earned enough money for her tuition and living expenses by working odd jobs.
But not long after she enrolled, she learned that Aunt Chen's youngest son in the village had been diagnosed with leukemia and urgently needed money.
She wanted to make quick money, so she started live-streaming cosplay dances.
With her excellent figure and temperament, she quickly earned enough money, but she continued to be a blogger.
She wanted to help more people in her village!
But now, the apocalypse had arrived.
There were no tall buildings in the mountain village, and the black mist clinging to the ground enveloped the entire village.
The last time she spoke to the villagers on the phone, she knew many people had already died.
Uncle Chen, who she spoke with, urged her to live well, to live well for them!
After running out of supplies in her dorm, she went to other dorms to look for resources, but unfortunately, some dorms wouldn't open, and empty ones couldn't be opened.
Food and water ran out.
Her power bank was dead, and her phone only had two bars of battery left.
She remembered the message she had screenshotted and saved earlier, and immediately sent a friend request to Lu Zheng.
After seeing Zheng Jingyi's photo, Lu Zheng immediately replied.
"Yes, as long as you are willing to be my woman and come here, I will guarantee your food and drink and ensure your survival."
With that, Lu Zheng took a photo of his still abundant supplies and sent it to her.
Almost without hesitation, Zheng Jingyi replied:
"Okay, if I can make it through alive, I'll be your woman!"
She didn't feel any aversion to Lu Zheng's request.
Just as male animals in the animal kingdom want to monopolize more females, and some female animals kill males after reproduction, it all stems from biological instinct.
It was an exchange of benefits, neither right nor wrong.
Lu Zheng could only silently wish her well.
The female dormitory building for the Computer Science department was over seven hundred meters away. The longer the distance, the more likely she was to encounter monsters, and the more dangerous it would be.
But he couldn't risk himself.
After finishing his conversation with Zheng Jingyi, Lu Zheng suddenly heard someone running in the stairwell.
His hearing was a bit better than an ordinary person's.
The footsteps were light, but the person was panting, clearly having just undergone strenuous exercise.
At that moment, Lu Zheng looked at his phone.
Yu Zihan sent a message.
"Which room are you in?"
The information Lu Zheng posted only indicated the building number. Yu Zihan ran all the way to the building without incident, reaching the fifth floor and leaving the black mist.
Looking at the message interval, he didn't expect this woman to run so fast.
It seemed she came up in one breath; no wonder she was so breathless.
At this moment, Yu Zihan was leaning against the wall, her clothes soaked with sweat. She felt as if she had just endured a life-or-death race against time.
Her already weak body became even more exhausted.
All she wanted now was to find Lu Zheng as soon as possible and then get some good rest.
"601"
After sending the message, a knock on the door sounded shortly after.
"Open the door, let me in."
Yu Zihan's voice was trembling slightly.
But Lu Zheng didn't open the door immediately. Even if the other person was a girl, he had to remain vigilant to prevent her from carrying any weapons.
He walked to the door and said:
"Step back a bit, take off your jacket, then turn around twice."
Yu Zihan couldn't help but question him:
"Why are you so timid? I rushed through the black mist to find you, and I'm already this exhausted, yet you're still so wary of me!"
She felt very wronged inside at this moment.
Although she wasn't as ostentatious as Song Yubi, she was still a goddess pursued by boys wherever she went.
Yet, despite her eagerness, her efforts, and her humble demeanor...
This scoundrel of a man was still wary of her!
"Less nonsense. Either do as I say, or don't come in."
Lu Zheng said unceremoniously.
Yu Zihan gritted her teeth. Behind that door was food and water. She had taken such a huge risk and suffered so much; she couldn't let it all be in vain!
She moved away from the door, then, as Lu Zheng requested, took off her jacket, leaving only a short-sleeved top on her upper body and a short skirt on her lower body, revealing a pair of fair, long legs.
After turning around twice, she walked to the door and asked:
"Is this okay now?"
Lu Zheng, however, continued to make demands.
"Open your phone, turn on the rear camera, and let's make a video call. As I tell you, check the hallway to make sure there's no one else. I'll let you in then."
This building was a one-apartment-per-floor type. As long as the hallway was confirmed to be empty, it would be safe.
Yu Zihan gritted her teeth, having no choice but to comply.
When she returned to the door, just as she was about to say something, the door suddenly opened, and she felt a powerful force pull her into the room.
The next moment, the door closed, and she was pressed against it, facing away from him.
"Ah! What are you doing? You're hurting me!"
Yu Zihan instinctively struggled.
Lu Zheng's cold voice sounded in her ear.
"Don't move. I have a knife in my hand."
Yu Zihan was immediately too scared to move.
Lu Zheng's voice softened slightly.
"Don't worry. I'll let you go once I confirm you're not hiding anything on you."
As he spoke, Lu Zheng held Yu Zihan with one hand, while the other began to search places where she might hide something.
Feeling the man's hand moving around on her body, Yu Zihan felt a surge of humiliation and anger.
But she dared not, and could not, resist. She could only silently endure it all.
Finally, Lu Zheng released her.
"Come help me move things first, and barricade the door."
After all this was done, Lu Zheng pushed a freshly prepared cup of instant noodles in front of Yu Zihan.
"Eat it, soup and all!"
Looking at the instant noodles she had obtained after so much hardship, Yu Zihan couldn't help but shed tears.
