Women are emotional creatures.
The saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" means that in certain circumstances, people will imbue those they fancy with a halo that doesn't actually exist.
That was how Zhao Ling saw Wang Yu at the moment.
A tall, handsome man, in the dead of night, during a crisis, had played the hero and silently eliminated five thugs.
If it weren't for him, her fate would surely have been...
She couldn't help but squeeze her left hand. Fortunately, it hadn't come to that yet.
"Hey, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Wang Yu touched his face and asked with a smile.
"Ah, you... why are you touching my face?!"
Zhao Ling jumped, took a step back, her pretty face flushing slightly with indignation, though it was too dark to tell.
This guy, always so handsy… Well, given that he saved her, she wouldn't dwell on it this time.
Wang Yu chuckled sheepishly, "You're Zhao Ling, right?"
At the same time, he praised inwardly, "Her skin feels so good, smooth, bouncy, very elastic. I wonder about other places..."
He was very satisfied with Zhao Ling. Not only did she have talent, but she was also beautiful, and her voice was excellent.
Crisp and pleasant, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, with a hint of assertiveness.
Such a voice, on her, was a bonus, further highlighting her police officer demeanor.
In two words, she had character!
If it were on a gentle and weak girl like her sister, while still nice to hear, it would lack that certain something.
Just like how a cute girl's voice being soft and adorable is an absolute plus.
Zhao Ling nodded, "I am Zhao Ling. Did you come specifically to save me?"
His appearance was so timely, not too early, not too late.
As an experienced police officer, she didn't believe it was a coincidence.
It was more likely that he had arrived earlier and was just waiting for the opportune moment.
"That's right." Wang Yu placed his hand on Zhao Ling's head. "After all, your sister has already betrothed you to me."
Zhao Ling: ???
"What the hell?"
She slapped Wang Yu's hand away and glared at him.
"My sister should be at Haixin University. Don't tell me you rushed all the way from Haixin University!"
Wang Yu spread his hands, "Although it's a bit unbelievable, it's true."
"Hmph! Are you kidding me?! Such a distance, with zombies all the way, who do you think you are? At least make your lies believable."
Wang Yu blinked, surprised at how the once-famous Zhao Ling in his past life behaved when arguing...
She was quite cute...
"Oh, right, I have something to ask you."
"Huh??" Zhao Ling didn't quite grasp Wang Yu's train of thought. "What do you want to ask?"
Wang Yu stroked his chin, "If I hadn't arrived, you... you wouldn't have fallen into their hands, would you?"
According to his memories from his past life, Wang Yu had never heard of Zhao Ling being captured by thugs at the police station.
Zhao Ling raised her left hand. In it, she held... a grenade?
"After the zombie outbreak, I hid a grenade on my person."
"If you hadn't come, when they got a few steps closer, I would have thrown the grenade at our feet and hidden in the restroom."
"This way, those three wouldn't have survived, but for those outside, I couldn't do anything..."
Wang Yu glanced at the three bodies on the ground and nodded.
He couldn't help but feel happy for them.
Dying in an explosion would probably be more painful, right?
It seemed Zhao Ling didn't know that these thugs only numbered six.
One at the police station gate, five here. The other survivors were locked up separately.
The men were kept together, the women separately, for their amusement.
According to the plot from his past life, after Zhao Ling blew up these three, she would then go out and deal with the remaining three who were unarmed. That way, the only person able to move freely in the entire police station would be her.
"Ahem..." Wang Yu quickly took the grenade and put it into his storage ring.
"This is too dangerous, let me keep it for you."
Zhao Ling's beautiful eyes widened, "You... how did you do that?"
Wang Yu spread his hands again, "Well, I have a little superpower, so you should believe what I say now."
"Superpower?!" she exclaimed, covering her agape mouth.
There were people with superpowers in this world?
How could she, a police officer, not know about it?
However, she quickly reconsidered. Zombies had already appeared, so superpowers appearing didn't seem too far-fetched.
"Alright, it's safe for now. Have something to eat. You look like you're about to collapse from hunger."
Wang Yu produced a table and chairs, then brought out three dishes, one soup, and a large basin of rice. They were all hot.
There was braised chicken with potatoes, pan-fried prawns, spicy grilled fish, and sea cucumber soup.
The storage ring's space worked like this: whatever was put in came out exactly as it was.
Even though Wang Yu had mentioned his superpower, Zhao Ling couldn't help but tremble with emotion when she saw the hot meals.
She swallowed, "This... is this also your superpower?"
As soon as she spoke, she felt she had said the wrong thing, asking such an intrusive question.
Always digging for information, her professional habit had kicked in.
"You could say that. I have a special space, and things stored inside change very little. These were put in immediately after they were cooked, so they're still hot."
Zhao Ling nodded, somewhat surprised that Wang Yu explained it in such detail.
"Alright, eat up. I know you're very hungry."
Wang Yu gently patted her head again.
Actually, he wanted to touch her high ponytail; it stood up so high, it looked very attractive.
However, they weren't that familiar yet, so he'd just pat her head to get her used to it.
This was the second time her head had been patted. Zhao Ling glanced at Wang Yu again.
Although she was still glaring, her gaze had softened considerably.
It seemed... there was even a hint of shyness?
Zhao Ling sat down and picked up her bowl, first taking a sip of the sea cucumber soup.
"Mmm..."
"This is delicious! I've never had such delicious soup in Nan Hai Island!"
The soup was fresh, sweet, rich in flavor, and had an endless aftertaste. It was truly a delicacy.
After all, it was prepared by a five-star hotel chef.
Zhao Ling felt like she was the happiest person in this apocalypse, actually getting to eat such delicious, hot gourmet food.
Just a small bowl of soup made her mouth water, her mouth secreting saliva non-stop.
The dishes on the table were simply irresistible, perfect in color, aroma, and taste.
Zhao Ling began to eat without regard for her image.
After a full large bowl, she realized Wang Yu was just sitting opposite her, propping his chin with one hand, watching her, and hadn't eaten a single bite.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks a bit bashfully, "You... why aren't you eating?"
"I've already eaten. I eat it every day, so I'm a bit tired of it."
Zhao Ling: "..."
She almost forgot, this guy had superpowers.
Hmph! If you don't eat, I will. What, never seen a beauty eat before!
Zhao Ling scooped another bowl of rice and continued to bury her head in eating.
Police officers tend to eat quickly, and a police beauty was no exception.
However, halfway through her second bowl, she couldn't eat anymore.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks with some frustration, her gaze sweeping over the delicious dishes on the table, most of which were barely touched.
She had been too hungry. She still hadn't eaten as much as she normally did...
Wang Yu smiled and took out a new bowl. "You've been hungry for too long, so don't eat too much. Have some more soup."
Zhao Ling's eyes lit up. She drank another bowl of soup, then let out a satisfied burp.
Looking at the dishes on the table, she said, "Then these dishes..."
"Don't worry, they won't go to waste. You can eat them next time, they'll still be hot anyway."
"You eat so fast, aren't you afraid of choking?"
"You...!" Zhao Ling's pretty face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
"Hmph!" She turned her head slightly, inwardly despising Wang Yu's bluntness.
