“Alright then.”
Stumpy Monkey glanced at the beautiful lady in high heels beside the bald, muscular guy, his eyes lingering on her immaculately white legs. A flash of greed flickered in his gaze, but he concealed it well. After a quick call-out, he immediately arranged for tonight’s dinner to be brought up.
After the food was served, the woman by the bald man’s side walked back into the room with several trayfuls of food, obviously for the other women inside. She then returned and sat on the bald man’s lap, cheerfully joining him for the meal.
Suppressing his desire, Stumpy Monkey grinned and began eating with the bald man. As they leisurely finished their meals and retreated to their respective rooms, the cafeteria queue for food began.
First, the men with weapons ate. Only after they finished, the others were served.
Deep within the bed formations, a man let go of his wife and went to get their food without making a sounds. When it was his turn, he stiffly carried back a piece of bread, the only thing left. He handed the bread over to his wife.
His wife ate only half of it, then gave the remainder back to him. The man broke off another half to feed his wife and ate the remaining quarter himself, his face revealing a trace of trance.
Could he really hope for a day when he could free his wonderful wife from this misery?

In Linjiang’s villa district, as darkness fell, a faint light started glowing from a villa in the pitch-black night.
“Phew, finally done.”
In the third-floor bedroom of the villa, Zhang Yuan looked at the neatly made bed and sighed in relief before standing up to cool herself off in front of a fan.
Not until the air conditioner’s cool breeze seeped into her skin through the collar did she finally take a relieved breath.
Concerned about electricity, Zhang Yuan didn’t dare to use the fan for too long. After a final, satisfying look at the clean big bed with freshly changed bedding and mattress, she switched off the light in the bedroom.
Walking to the third-floor hall, she saw a study on the left, a tea room on the right, a card room, a billiard room, and three guest rooms.
All these rooms had been cleaned and tidied by Zhang Yuan. However, since she and Li Ming were mainly staying on the third floor, she mainly cleaned the master bedroom and its bathroom.
From unloading to tidying up the rooms, she was covered in sweat. When she finally finished the tasks, she couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief.
Walking down to the second floor, she saw the lights in the kitchen and living room were still on. Chen Li’s mother was cooking in the kitchen, while Chen Li herself was cleaning their bedroom with her child.
Zhang Yuan went into the kitchen to take a look, held a brief, cheerful conversation with Chen Li’s mother then left the kitchen.
She and Li Ming were occupying the third floor, while Chen Li and her family lived on the second floor. This arrangement, proposed by Li Ming considering safety and power use, was agreed upon without any opposition. It made the vast villa less spacious.
Otherwise, the villa would appear too vast for just two people.
Zhang Yuan wiped the sweat off her cheeks and neck in the bathroom, then took a bottle of mineral water. She wet and wrung out a new towel and, while the water was still running, happily touched the water with her finger before quickly closing the tap.
She then took the towel, walked out of the bathroom and headed towards the storeroom. She wanted to check how Li Ming was progressing with his tidying up, but met him on his way out of the storeroom.
“Honey, have you finished tidying up?”
Zhang Yuan saw a sweaty Li Ming coming out from the storeroom. She handed him the bottle of water and wiped the streaming sweat off him with the wrung-out towel.
“Glub, glub.”
After finishing the bottle of water in one gulp, Li Ming threw the empty bottle in the dustbin before nodding, “Yes, everything has been put away. The storeroom is big enough to hold a truckload of stuff. By the way, who’s cooking dinner? Is it ready?”
As he let her wipe the sweat off his body, he softly asked her. Hungry after a full day without eating properly and having worked all day, he finally spoke of his hunger.
“Auntie is cooking. It should be ready soon from the smell. She’s frying chicken breasts and sausages, along with two plates of greens. There’s also meatball soup.”
Zhang Yuan quickly responded while meticulously wiping the sweat from Li Ming’s neck.
Li Ming raised his eyebrows at hearing that it was Chen Li’s mother cooking, then nodded and said, “Okay. Is the room tidied up?”
“It’s done. Just finished. All the personal stuff has been replaced.”
Zhang Yuan nodded with a smirk, and Li Ming sighed, “That’s a relief. Go freshen up in the bathroom, and then wait for dinner.”
“Mm.”
Zhang Yuan smiled briskly and nodded, gathered up the towel that she had used to wipe Li Ming’s sweat, and dashed into the bathroom to rinse it.
Li Ming followed her inside, washed his hands and arms under the faucet to remove the dirt and sweat. Zhang Yuan handed him the wrung-out towel, and he wiped his face and neck again, drying off the sweat on his chest.
Then he wrung out the towel again over the sink, draining out a stream of dirty water. Suddenly, he felt considerably more comfortable.
“Honey, our en-suite bathroom has a bathtub, I’ve already filled it for you.”
Zhang Yuan gazed at the muscles in his chest as he dried off, smiling brightly. She leaned in close to his ear and whispered.
A bathtub?
A smirk crossed Li Ming’s face as he turned to look at Zhang Yuan with her slim figure and long legs, her tight jeans hugging her perky buttocks. His desire welled up within him, and he opened his arms to pull Zhang Yuan into his embrace, “Make sure you’re clean and fragrant for later. Understood?”
“Okay~”
Zhang Yuan initially went limp, then with a flustered face, she responded, “My trousers are all damp from sweat, uncomfortable. After dinner, once I’ve changed…”
“It’s all right. Your face, your neck, they’re all dry now. And this dampness… it has its own charm.”
Li Ming spoke with a grin. Zhang Yuan didn’t quite understand his peculiar taste, but knowing her trousers were being taken off, she complied obediently.
“Hold on, lock the door…”

“…”
After Chen Li and her daughter had tidied up their new bedroom, they went to organise her mother’s room. Only once both rooms were in order did she finally sit down on a chair at the door to rest.
She looked around the grand house before her, then at her mother, busy cooking in the kitchen, and felt a surge of security washing over her.
Seeing her mother in the kitchen, Chen Li shook her head. She knew that the moment she decided to follow Li Ming from their home to here, her mother could do nothing about it, however unwilling she might be.
Her family was now reliant on their former neighbour, Li Ming.
She couldn’t help but ponder over all her interactions with Li Ming before the apocalypse.
When Li Ming had just moved in, she’d been wearing a black mini skirt and calf-length boots, and they happened to share an elevator ride. She had thought then that he was a fresh graduate struggling to make a living. Then she had taken off with her shopping bags from the supermarket.
Afterward, because it was summer, she occasionally glammed up, even though she didn’t usually like to expose herself. She would still wear attractive clothes like mini-dresses.
Even when she was out shopping with her daughter, she adopted the style of a stylish young mother. Yes, her sexy white legs were often on display, and it seemed Li Ming always took notice of her figure. But he was polite, and she didn’t really mind his attentions.
After all, she knew the allure of her skirt fluttering above her legs for men.
Sometimes, when driving past, she would even wind down the windows and greet him while he was walking.
Of course, their interactions were limited to that since she did have a husband, who earned significantly more than this recent university graduate.
Though she didn’t expect that, at the end of the world, he would become so powerful and… so uncompromising in his desire for her.
When she pleaded with Li Ming for food, he gave her some, but said for more they would have to discuss. Chen Li knew she had only one choice then.
Perhaps because Li Ming had first given her food, showing a conscience, she felt he was a decent man. And so she willingly gave herself to him.
His eagerness, despite knowing she had a child, was married, and that she was already another man’s wife, surprised Chen Li, who had never experienced such fervor before.
However, after the initial shock, she felt more secure knowing that Li Ming was interested in her. It meant he wouldn’t treat her family badly. This gave her a sense of stability.
It seemed it all was almost too good to be true.
Thinking about her status as a wife, Chen Li found her hands unconsciously wringing together. Her mouth curled into a small frown.
