12: Chapter 12 The hot-blooded Chen Chen pushes down... Shen Wanxing

The night was deep.

It was time to sleep.

But a problem arose.

There was only one old double mattress in the back of the carriage.

Two meters long, one and a half meters wide.

Usually, one person could roll around on it freely, and two people could barely make do.

Three people? That would be piling people on top of each other.

Chen Chen stood up, walked straight to the mattress, sat right in the middle, and patted the empty spots on his left and right.

"It's getting late, let's rest. Left or right, choose for yourselves."

His skin was extremely thick; he was just like a bandit leader forcibly seizing civilian women.

Shen Wanbing stood where she was, not moving, looking at the space Chen Chen had occupied on most of the mattress, and frowned:

"The bed is too small, it won't fit three people."

"We can squeeze in, and it'll be better for keeping warm."

Chen Chen lay back, hands behind his head, striking a pose of a master.

Shen Wanbing saw through his intentions.

This man said he wouldn't force them, but his body was very honest.

It was clear he wanted to experience the treatment of having a woman on each arm.

She absolutely would not accept this absurd arrangement.

"Wanxing, let's go to the front."

Shen Wanbing turned to grab her sister's wrist, preparing to walk to the driver's cab, "We'll make do on the seats for the night."

"Wait." Chen Chen sat up straight.

"There is no insulation in the front row, the temperature will drop below zero at night. There is only one windbreaker and one blanket in the car, and you two are going to sit there all night in just your thin clothes?"

"We can wear more." Shen Wanbing's attitude was firm.

"Then why don't you go to the front and freeze with your shoulders bare?" Chen Chen pointed to the coat wrapped around Shen Wanxing.

Shen Wanxing subconsciously pulled her collar tighter and shrank back half a step.

Outside, the cold wind was howling; the iron carriage blocked the wind and sand, but the chill was still seeping in through the gaps.

If they really went to the front to sit all night, they would definitely get sick from the cold.

"Chen Chen, this is not appropriate." Shen Wanbing's tone turned cold.

"I am doing this for the sake of the team's combat effectiveness."

Chen Chen looked innocent, "The car is mine, the bed is mine. Either sleep together, or you choose one to come over and sleep, and the other goes to the front to suffer the cold. Choose for yourselves."

This was pure rogue logic.

Shen Wanbing knew the base nature of men all too well.

If three people really squeezed onto one bed, and some physical friction occurred in the middle of the night, no one would be able to explain it clearly then.

She absolutely could not let her sister get involved too.

"I'll go to the front." Shen Wanbing made her decision.

"Sister!"

Shen Wanxing was anxious, "It's too cold in the front, you'll get sick!"

"Be obedient." Shen Wanbing patted the back of her hand and turned to look at Chen Chen.

"I will sit in the passenger seat. Wanxing will stay here. But you'd better remember what you just said, don't get handsy."

Chen Chen raised an eyebrow.

This arrangement hit the spot.

Shen Wanbing was too cold a woman with too strong a sense of caution; even if they really slept together, she would just be an ice cube.

On the contrary, Shen Wanxing was simple and easy to trick; she would definitely be comfortable to hold.

"Fine."

Chen Chen agreed readily, "I promise not to get handsy. If I break the rules, all the supply blind boxes tomorrow will be yours."

Shen Wanbing ignored his glib talk.

She walked to the passenger seat and lowered the backrest.

Chen Chen casually threw the old blanket over.

It landed in Shen Wanbing's arms.

"Cover yourself, don't actually freeze to death."

"Thank you..."

Shen Wanbing held the blanket with its somewhat rough texture, silently covered herself, and closed her eyes.

In the back of the carriage.

Shen Wanxing stood by the old mattress, at a loss.

From childhood to adulthood, she had been protected by management companies and bodyguards, and she hadn't even touched the hand of a male her own age.

Today, not only did she have to escape in a world full of zombies, but she also had to squeeze onto a bed less than one and a half meters wide with a man she had known for less than a day.

"Standing there like a door god?" Chen Chen moved inward, clearing a small area on the outside.

"Come over and lie down. Or do you want to go to the front to keep your sister company and freeze?"

Shen Wanxing bit her lower lip.

She lifted her feet and kicked off the high heels that had tormented her all day.

Her fair, delicate toes were exposed to the air.

The skin, maintained for years, glowed with a fine, moist, pearly white in the dim light, and her toenails were painted with a very light nude pink polish.

Chen Chen's gaze moved downward, lingering for a couple of extra looks.

Shen Wanxing's foot shape was excellent, and the arch of her foot had a beautiful curve.

She lay down fully dressed, her hands clutching the edges of the large black windbreaker tightly.

Her entire body was pressed against the inner iron plating of the carriage, trying her best to put distance between the two of them.

The bed was too narrow.

Chen Chen occupied two-thirds of the space, and most of Shen Wanxing's body was hanging off the edge; if she wasn't careful, she would roll off.

The light on the car roof went out.

In the darkness, hearing and smell were infinitely magnified.

Chen Chen could hear her rapid breathing.

The unique fragrance of the young girl, mixed with the earthy smell remaining on the windbreaker, drilled straight into his nostrils.

Chen Chen turned to his side, facing her.

Shen Wanxing's body tensed up.

"Move inward. Half your body is hanging off; I won't be responsible if you fall." Chen Chen said.

"I... I'm not cold." Her voice was trembling.

Chen Chen couldn't be bothered with nonsense.

With a stretch of his long arm, his palm pressed against her slender waist, and with a little force, he pulled her directly into his arms.

"Ah!" Shen Wanxing exclaimed, her hands pushing against the man's chest, struggling desperately.

"Don't move around." Chen Chen tightened his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head.

"If you keep squirming, I don't mind taking advantage of the situation and doing something else. We said we were going to sleep, so let's sleep."

Stunned by this warning, she dared not move at all.

Time passed.

Outside the car, the wind howled, mixed with the strange roars of wandering monsters.

Inside the car, the body temperature transmitted by the man through the clothing was continuous.

In this cold and dangerous wasteland night, this temperature had a fatal attraction.

Shen Wanxing discovered that she was not only not repulsed by this physical contact, but instead felt an unprecedented sense of security.

She quietly raised her eyes.

Borrowing the faint moonlight filtering in through the window, she could clearly see the man's firm jawline.

Her heartbeat skipped a beat.

【Ding! Detected deepening of the female lead karmic relationship.】

【Shen Wanxing's favorability continues to rise, current progress 50%...】

Listening to the electronic sound in his mind, Chen Chen closed his eyes.

This woman was hooked.

Deep night.

Chen Chen wasn't asleep at all.

The extraordinary physique brought not only energy but also vigorous physiological functions.

Holding such a delicate and precious national idol in his arms, if he could really sleep with a calm heart, that would be truly sick.

He knew Shen Wanxing wasn't fast asleep either.

Her breathing frequency was wrong.

Chen Chen's fingers probed along the hem of the windbreaker.

Touching the edge of the silver backless evening gown, he slowly climbed upward along the smooth fabric.

Shen Wanxing's body trembled uncontrollably.

She bit her lip hard, forcing herself to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.

His fingers brushed over her flat abdomen, and above that was the gown's extremely form-fitting waistline.

The system prompt didn't sound again; the favorability didn't decrease.

This indicated her attitude—tacit consent.

Chen Chen stopped his movements.

"I know you're not asleep." He whispered against her ear, "Let's talk."

Shen Wanxing's eyelashes fluttered twice, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Be my woman." Chen Chen was straightforward, not playing any tricks.

"I will provide for you, and I will protect you both. As long as I have a bite to eat, you will never go hungry. I can also help you upgrade your talent traits."

Shen Wanxing's breathing became rapid.

She understood the weight of these words.

In this world where human life was as cheap as grass, the protection of a strong person was worth more than a mountain of gold or silver.

But for her to just hand herself over like this, she couldn't quite get over that hurdle in her heart.

Seeing her hesitate, Chen Chen threw out his trump card.

"Your sister is in the front row, the temperature is below zero at night, and that thin blanket won't hold up. If you nod, after we're done, I'll go bring her back to sleep with you. I'll go to the front to keep watch."

This condition hit the bullseye.

In the front driver's seat.

Shen Wanbing was curled up on the leather seat.

After the engine was shut off, even with the life-support system running, the temperature at the front of the car dropped extremely quickly.

She wrapped herself tightly in the rough old blanket, her teeth chattering from the cold, her brows furrowed tightly in a half-dreaming, half-waking state.

In the back, Shen Wanxing was having an intense struggle in her mind.

She wanted to survive, and she wanted her sister to survive too.

What's more, this man in front of her didn't make her feel disgusted.

She turned around to face Chen Chen.

"You swear."

Her voice was extremely small, "Your words must count. In the future, no matter what danger we encounter, you will not abandon me and my sister."

"I swear." Chen Chen's tone became a bit more serious.

"As long as you don't cause trouble, there will always be a place for you in this car. If there is real danger, I will take the lead."

Shen Wanxing closed her eyes and nodded very lightly.

Chen Chen rolled over and pinned her beneath him.

The large black windbreaker was casually torn open and thrown to the foot of the bed.

The silver backless evening gown shimmered with faint light in the moonlight.

That perfect face, which constantly topped the trending searches, was now flushed with a deep red.

The gown clung to her proud curves, and a large expanse of delicate, snow-white skin was revealed before his eyes without any defense.

Chen Chen lowered his head and kissed her.

At the same time.

Shen Wanbing in the driver's seat fell into a bizarre dream.

In the dream, she was running on the vast Gobi Desert, the wind and sand cutting her face painfully.

Suddenly, a heavy-duty RV sped toward her, the door opened, and a scorching heat wave enveloped her.

This heat was so hot she had nowhere to hide, and it was mixed with a certain highly aggressive power that completely melted the icy world she was in.

She heard faint sobbing by her ear, which happened to be Wanxing's voice, intermittent, yet revealing a strange sense of ease.

The heat wave became more and more fierce, and the bumpy road made the whole car shake.

...

An hour later.

The back of the carriage returned to silence.

【Ding! Detected that Shen Wanxing's affection for the host has deepened, the link between the two has deepened, and the female lead karmic relationship has deepened.】

【Shen Wanxing: Lv.2 (Progress 95%).】

Shen Wanxing curled up in the blankets.

Tear stains still hung at the corners of her eyes, her cheeks were flushed, and her whole person radiated a soft charm after shedding her innocence.

The silver evening gown had already been crumpled into a ball and dropped in the corner.

Chen Chen lowered his head and kissed her forehead. His large hand patted her shoulder.

"Sleep. Stay here properly."

He rolled off the bed and casually put on his trousers.

Bare-chested, he walked toward the driver's cab.

In the passenger seat, Shen Wanbing was curled into a ball from the cold. Chen Chen bent down and picked her up, blanket and all.

Returning to the back, he tucked Shen Wanbing into the blankets, placing her beside Shen Wanxing.

Afterward, he covered the two sisters tightly with the large windbreaker and the blanket.

After doing all this, Chen Chen turned and walked to the front.

He sat in the driver's seat and reclined the seat back.

The severe cold that would be fatal to ordinary people was, to him, nothing more than a cool night breeze.

The feeling of comfort after his bodily functions were fully released flowed through his whole body.

Chen Chen pillowed his head with his hands and looked at the night outside the window.

This damned escape game didn't seem so bad after all.
