104: Chapter 104 Bai Jie's Advice

Seeing that the girl had already started to believe her, Bai Jie's voice became even softer:

"Little sister, since we're like sisters now, let me scrub your back. Although this bathtub is large, it's always a bit inconvenient to scrub your own back."

Yang Yueqi instinctively wanted to refuse, but the words of refusal reached her lips and were swallowed back down.

"Thank you, Sister Bai Jie."

Yang Yueqi replied softly, revealing her smooth back.

Warm water flowed over her skin. Bai Jie took the body wash from the side, poured it onto a soft bath sponge, gently rubbed it into a rich lather, and then applied it evenly onto Yang Yueqi's delicate back.

An indescribable sense of comfort spread from her back. Yang Yueqi's body, which had been somewhat stiff due to tension, gradually relaxed, and she even let out a barely audible soft moan.

"How is it? Does it feel good?"

Bai Jie was quite proud of this "special skill" of hers.

"I actually learned this massage technique from Song Yang. Don't look at how fierce he is when dealing with those monsters; in truth, he's quite gentle."

Yang Yueqi didn't know how to respond, so she could only lower her head and look at her own reflection.

"Yueqi," Bai Jie said casually while rubbing unhurriedly.

"Song Yang saved you and let you live in such a safe place, even giving you food and water. These things didn't come from nothing.

If you want to survive well here, you must make him feel your value, to make him feel that keeping you is worth it."

"Value?"

Yang Yueqi repeated the word somewhat blankly.

Since she was a child, she had been a princess held in the palms of her parents and sister, never thinking she would have to curry favor with anyone else.

"But I just graduated from high school and don't know how to do anything... I don't know how to please him."

Hearing this, Bai Jie wiped her hands and pulled a phone out of a waterproof bag by the bathtub.

Bai Jie skillfully unlocked the phone, searched for a moment, and then turned the screen toward Yang Yueqi, holding it before her eyes.

"Many things don't need to be taught; you'll understand just by watching."

A video was playing on the phone screen.

Under dim lighting, a man and a woman were kissing passionately. The man's hands wandered over the woman's body, and suppressed gasps came from the woman's mouth.

Although the scale of the scene wasn't particularly excessive, the extreme intimacy and desire hit her through the screen.

Yang Yueqi took only one look, and her face instantly turned beet red, all the way to her ears.

She abruptly turned her head away, her heart pounding like a drum and her breathing becoming rapid.

"Sister Bai Jie, what are you doing?"

She was so embarrassed she could hardly speak. She had only ever caught a glimpse of such things in pop-up ads labeled as "inappropriate content" on the internet; she had never seen them so clearly.

Bai Jie didn't mind, putting the phone away and saying slowly:

"Don't be shy, it's nothing. If you don't learn some things now, you'll suffer later. Only by gaining favor can you ensure your survival and not be abandoned."

Bai Jie's words sent ripples through Yang Yueqi's heart.

Half an hour later, when Yang Yueqi walked out of the bathroom with a nervous heart, the aroma of food greeted her.

Several figures were already seated at the dining table in the living room.

Song Yang sat in the main seat. Beside him, in addition to Bai Jie, were three other women. Yang Yueqi remembered Bai Jie's introduction: one was Zhang Xinmei, a Wealthy Woman; one was Xiao Xue, a Female Streamer who could perform various dances; and the last one, Zhang Yu, was a Beautiful Policewoman who had just graduated from university.

On the dining table were sumptuous dishes: golden roast chicken sizzling with oil, fresh green vegetables, and a plate of steaming braised pork with a rich sauce.

There were even beer and drinks on the side.

These foods, which were commonplace before the apocalypse, now seemed so luxurious, like a dream.

Yang Yueqi swallowed hard. During those days hiding at home, she had barely survived by enduring hunger every day.

"Come and sit."

Bai Jie stood up with a smile, pulled out the empty chair next to Song Yang, and beckoned to Yang Yueqi:

"Come quickly, we're just waiting for you. Today is your welcome feast."

Yang Yueqi felt a bit awkward as she walked to the table and sat down.

"Don't be polite, eat more."

Bai Jie picked up the serving chopsticks, placed a piece of chicken leg into the bowl in front of Yang Yueqi, and said:

"You must have been starving these past few days. Nourish your body first."

"Thank you, Sister Bai."

Yang Yueqi said softly, her cheeks feeling a bit hot.

She remembered Bai Jie's words: "Make Song Yang feel your value."

But she seemed unable to do anything right now.

Yang Yueqi forced a smile and ate in small bites.

The deliciousness of the food was real, but Bai Jie's words in the bathroom and that face-reddening video kept echoing in her mind.

She peeked up and stole a quick glance at Song Yang.

In this broken world, it seemed impossible to rely on others to survive—especially to live as well as this—without giving something in return.

As the tender meat went down, a warm sensation spread through her stomach.

For the first time, a strong desire arose in her heart.

She wanted to stay. She didn't want to go back to those days of fear and hunger.

As for how to demonstrate "value," Bai Jie had already given her "enlightenment" in a very blunt way.

It was just that such "enlightenment" would take her a little time to adapt to.

After finishing the meal and returning to her assigned room, the first thing Yang Yueqi did was throw herself onto the bed and cover her head with the quilt.

In the dimness under the covers, a small space isolated from the outside world was formed.

With trembling hands, she fished the phone Bai Jie had given her out of her pocket.

Her fingertip slid across the screen, unlocked it, found the video from earlier, and clicked play.

At the same time, Song Yang also returned to his bedroom.

A short while later.

The bedroom door was gently pushed open, and a slender figure walked in.

It was Xiao Xue.

Today, Xiao Xue had changed into a teacher OL outfit.

A well-fitting white short-sleeved shirt, a dark Bodycon skirt on her lower half, paired with Shiny black stockings.

A pair of delicate Gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of her nose, adding a touch of intellectual forbidden charm to her look.

Most eye-catching was the slender black Pointer she held in her hand.

Xiao Xue gently closed the door and locked it behind her.

Stepping in her thin-heeled red high heels, she walked toward Song Yang step by step, her heels clicking against the floor.

Reaching Song Yang, she stopped.

Xiao Xue took a deep breath, flicked the Pointer in her hand, making a soft "snap" sound.

"Student Song Yang, class is now in session!"
