“Isn’t sister-in-law going home?”
Wang Tao looked down at Ding Yuqin from above.
There was plenty of food left over from lunch, and he could just reheat it for dinner, so he no longer needed Ding Yuqin.
“I want to rest for a while, I’m a bit tired…”
Ding Yuqin lowered her head, not daring to look into Wang Tao’s eyes.
“Where are you tired?”
Wang Tao took a step forward.
“My legs are sore…”
She had been doing household chores and cooking at Wang Tao’s home all along; if she had known earlier, she would not have worn high heels-it was too tiring…
“Do you want my help, sister-in-law?”
Wang Tao suddenly said with a smile.
“…Yeah.”
Ding Yuqin murmured so quietly that she could barely hear her own voice.
Wang Tao heard her.
Then he casually sat down next to Ding Yuqin.
“Sister-in-law, let me give you a massage…”
(614 characters omitted… Even a foot massage is censored, I give up.) Suddenly, a pair of slender and pale hands grabbed Wang Tao’s large one. Wang Tao looked up and saw a pair of eyes that were shy yet filled with tears. “Wang Tao… you, you won’t ever abandon me, right?
“I have never left sister-in-law behind at any time!”
Wang Tao said, puzzled.
“I… I just want to hear you say it…”
Ding Yuqin did not want to experience that feeling of despair again; the only thing that might still be useful to Wang Tao now was probably herself.
She was unwilling to trade herself, but she had no other choice.
And it wasn’t exactly a pure transaction, either; after these days of post-apocalyptic life, she had developed some fondness for Wang Tao. Especially today, when she was most desperate, the image of Wang Tao, covered in blood, bursting in front of her was something she might never forget in her lifetime…
“Okay! As long as you are obedient, I, Wang Tao, will definitely not abandon you.”
Wang Tao promised.
Although it was just an ordinary verbal promise, Ding Yuqin still felt a surge of overwhelming joy.
She let go of Wang Tao’s hand and hugged him tightly on her own initiative.
“Wang Tao… sob… thank you!”
Feeling the warmth of a fragrant embrace, Wang Tao gently wiped away her tears, and then slowly kissed her.
After a while, when Ding Yuqin started to have difficulty catching her breath, Wang Tao finally released her.
Still feeling the desire for more, Wang Tao licked his lips and said with a smile: “Sister-in-law, have you really made up your mind? After this, you’ll be mine alone!”
“Can you… can you stop calling me sister-in-law…”
Ding Yuqin, with complex emotions, buried her head in Wang Tao’s chest.
Wang Tao chuckled.
“No, I like calling you that.”
An hour later.
Wang Tao walked out of the bedroom, his face full of disbelief.
“I actually gained too points of HP! And my body doesn’t hurt much anymore!”
An hour before, his HP was [69/385], but now it was [169/385]
This… was a bit miraculous!
Was it because of him, or Ding Yuqin, or the combination of the two? Wang Tao didn’t quite understand.
-It seems the experts are right; appropriate exercise is beneficial to one’s health!”
Looking out the window, he saw that it had already gotten dark.
Wang Tao reheated the leftover food from lunch and cooked another portion of porridge. After having a few bites himself, he took the porridge to the bedroom.
Ding Yuqin was already asleep.
Her body had been in a state of weakness these last few days, and her spirit was extremely languid.
Wang Tao forcefully woke Ding Yuqin up.
“Hmm…”
Ding Yuqin was still a little groggy, but as she slowly recognized Wang Tao, a flush spread across her pale little face.
Wang Tao pinched her cheek and said with a smile.
“Sister-in-law, come and eat some dinner, you’re too weak, you need to get
more nutrition.”
“I’m so sleepy…”
Smelling the fragrance of the food, Ding Yuqin wrinkled her little nose, but she was indeed very tired and sleepy.
“It’s okay, I’ll feed you today.”
Wang Tao propped her up and then sat by the bed, spoon-feeding her the porridge.
Ding Yuqin, enjoying Wang Tao’s tenderness, suddenly felt her eyes moisten. After feeding Ding Yuqin, he watched her fall asleep again before Wang Tao quietly left the bedroom.
Now that his HP had recovered somewhat, it was time to continue his daily exercises.
Wang Tao was quite disciplined in this regard.
He exercised until late into the night, and only after feeling his body had grown stronger did he contentedly take a shower and then went to rest.
Early in the morning.
Upon opening her eyes, Ding Yuqin saw the burly figure lying next to her and felt complex emotions.
She was a woman of loyalty; she had only ever dated once, and her partner was her husband, Zhao Yuan.
If she had a choice, she certainly would not want to betray her husband, even though it was very likely that Zhao Yuan was already dead…
But she lacked any ability to survive in a post-apocalyptic world; if she didn’t choose to rely on a man, she would either die or live a life worse than death!
Hence, she had no choice.
She felt gratitude, admiration, and trust towards Wang Tao… but no love-she believed she did not feel it yet.
“Awake?”
Wang Tao’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Yeah…”
Ding Yuqin murmured somewhat unnaturally as she buried her head into Wang Tao’s chest.
“Today I’m going to clear out all the zombies in the yard, but before that, I want to try if I can replenish my blood again!”
‘Hmm? Mm-“
