Wang Yu rubbed his nose. "Her name is Chen Luoxue, and she's my teacher. This is You Xinci, my girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?"
Chen Luoxue had heard You Xinci call Wang Yu "husband" just moments ago, and now Wang Yu had confirmed their relationship.
Her eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly composed herself and smiled, greeting You Xinci.
You Xinci, who had been observing Chen Luoxue all along, naturally noticed the subtle change in her expression.
"Wang Yu went to such great lengths to save her. It seems there's a story between them," You Xinci mused inwardly. She warmly pulled Chen Luoxue inside, fussing over her.
"Have you eaten, sister? Are you thirsty? Do you want to rest a bit?"
"Alright, alright," Wang Yu interrupted. "Let's head back first. You take her to eat, and I'll go take a shower and change."
"Head back? Eat and shower?" Chen Luoxue's eyes lit up as she looked around.
She clearly had no idea where to go back to, nor how they would eat or shower in this ordinary dormitory.
Wang Yu walked towards the bathroom door. You Xinci didn't answer, merely smiled and took Chen Luoxue's hand, leading her behind Wang Yu…
Wang Yu went upstairs to shower, while You Xinci prepared to take Chen Luoxue for a good meal.
However, upon seeing the available bathing facilities, Chen Luoxue immediately asked You Xinci to take her to shower first.
Beautiful women are very fond of cleanliness, especially when a man is present.
She could skip a meal, but she absolutely had to be clean and presentable.
Since they didn't know when Wang Yu would return to the secret realm, there was more than just Cai Xiao on duty as a cook.
Someone was on duty twenty-four hours a day, waiting for Wang Yu and You Xinci to return and give instructions for meals.
Chen Luoxue washed herself thoroughly for half an hour and changed into a brand-new, crisp white gown with a cinched waist.
It should have looked quite ethereal, but the cinched waist of the dress highlighted her impressive curves.
You Xinci exclaimed, "Wow!"
Is it really good to be this… endowed?
Can the male classmates in the audience concentrate on their lessons?
Fortunately, You Xinci herself was also quite well-endowed, so she wasn't overly envious.
At the same time, she felt a sense of relief.
It was fortunate she had secured Wang Yu first; otherwise, she would have to worry about him facing a choice.
She smiled and sat beside Chen Luoxue, watching her eat and introducing her to the situation in the secret realm.
Being of similar ages, the two naturally hit it off.
After the meal, they had clearly become much more familiar with each other.
Arm in arm, they strolled from the dining room to the living room on the first floor, chatting and laughing.
"Come, sister, sit."
You Xinci sat down on the sofa next to Chen Luoxue, facing Wang Yu.
Chen Luoxue felt much better, but she was still somewhat dazed.
Everything felt like a dream, from hell to heaven in an instant.
Looking at Wang Yu, who was drinking tea and reading, You Xinci asked, "Husband, will sister Luoxue sleep on the second floor?"
Although she had long been prepared for Wang Yu to have multiple wives, she still needed to assert her position.
Calling him "husband" was a clear message to Chen Luoxue: "I was here first."
Wang Yu put down his book. In the apocalypse, there wasn't much entertainment, and no electronic products, so reading had become a habit from his past life.
He glanced at the two of them, his gaze lingering for a moment on Chen Luoxue's white, cinched-waist dress.
"There are still empty rooms on the second floor. She can sleep there."
The first floor was where the maids and cooks lived. The second floor and the floors above were where Wang Yu, You Xinci, and others resided.
This had already been planned by You Xinci.
Besides the living room, study, and two bathrooms, the second floor had six bedrooms.
Wang Yu lived in the master bedroom, which was huge, a full eighty square meters.
The bed alone was four meters long and three meters wide.
Well, this bed wasn't arranged by You Xinci; it was Wang Yu's request.
The reason… well, those who know, know.
Next door was You Xinci's room, although she didn't sleep in her own room anymore.
But she still arranged Chen Luoxue's room on the other side of Wang Yu's, also next door.
Wang Yu accompanied them, remaining silent throughout.
However, seeing You Xinci's arrangements, he couldn't help but give her a look of appreciation. You Xinci rolled her eyes.
Her reproachful look seemed to say, "Me? Don't I know you well enough?"
Indeed, they were very familiar with each other.
You know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know yours.
Often, a single glance was enough to understand each other's intentions.
…
Chen Youting heard the commotion and knew Wang Yu had returned, finally putting his anxious heart at ease.
Although he didn't expect Wang Yu to encounter any trouble, one could never be sure.
Zombies had appeared; who knew what other monsters might emerge.
He walked to Wang Yu's door and knocked gently.
Seeing no response, he turned back.
When his elder brother and sister-in-law were together in their room, which younger brother would dare to keep knocking?
What if he disturbed his elder brother's… activities? Was he tired of living?
Of course, Wang Yu couldn't hear his knocking. He was currently playing with Huniu.
He felt his hands were quite busy.
He had to hold a sword, touch faces, pet Pikachu, and hold hands.
He also had to massage Huniu, stroke its fluffy head, soft belly, and solid tail.
Alas, hands, hands, you've truly worked hard…
You Xinci, on the other hand, was taking Chen Luoxue on a tour of the secret realm.
The houses and roads here were already built, and driving was possible, making the tour quite convenient.
Given that there were only so many buildings and people, the two walked and stopped, finishing their tour in about half an hour.
Along the way, You Xinci not only recounted her experiences meeting Wang Yu but also imparted some ideas and "personal thoughts" about the apocalypse to Chen Luoxue.
Since Chen Luoxue was now staying on the second floor, she was certainly not going anywhere.
Now that it was just the two of them, You Xinci naturally wanted to build a good relationship with Chen Luoxue.
It was better to have one more friend than one more enemy, and besides, she genuinely needed a friend.
For two hours, she felt exhausted every time.
Moreover, she could sense that Wang Yu wasn't fully satisfied, as he always appeared energetic and refreshed afterward.
Unlike herself, who was too tired to lift her legs.
"Sister Luoxue, you know now it's the end of the world, and humans are developing superpowers."
"It's hard to say what the future will hold, but undoubtedly, the only people we can rely on are Wang Yu and ourselves."
"Wang Yu said that zombies will continue to evolve, and we humans can evolve too. I'm currently a Level 1 evolved person, with four to five times the strength of an ordinary person."
Chen Luoxue found it incredible that eating a hundred corpse worms could grant such enhanced strength.
What if she ate more…
She asked eagerly, "Then, sister, I…"
You Xinci smiled. "Of course, you can too. But then…"
"But what?"
"It's nothing. Wang Yu will definitely let you evolve too. You just need to adjust some of your views. You must remember, this is the apocalypse; there are no rules, no order. So, don't worry about what others think, understand?"
Chen Luoxue pondered for a few seconds and then nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand, Sister Xinci. I'll listen to you from now on."
Hearing this, You Xinci beamed and took Chen Luoxue's hand, continuing her tour of the surrounding buildings.
