Chapter 85: Zhang Cheng is a Honest Man!

At New Town Bay, below Tang Ying's apartment building.

Right now, there were only a few scattered zombies wandering around.

Zhang Cheng had just parked his car and swiftly got rid of all the zombies.

Li Shengnan followed Zhang Cheng up the stairs.

As Zhang Cheng opened the door, he told Li Shengnan, "This is my wife's house. I have settled them somewhere else."

When Li Shengnan heard that Zhang Cheng was married, she felt a little strange inside.

However, despite Li Shengnan's tomboyish demeanor, she was as delicate as any other woman.

She concluded that wherever Zhang Cheng's wife was, it must be a safer and more comfortable place; otherwise, she wouldn't have moved.

And Zhang Cheng didn't trust her at the moment.

"Come in." Zhang Cheng went in first.

After Li Shengnan entered and closed the door, she saw gas bottles and stoves placed on the coffee table and half a bag of rice on the floor. There were also scattered mineral water, milk, biscuits, instant noodles, etc.

Li Shengnan looked at the family photo on the coffee table and said, "So, this is your wife? She is very beautiful."

She was also quite surprised. Zhang Cheng's wife was unexpectedly beautiful.

While Zhang Cheng wasn't exactly ugly, he was definitely not handsome.

And comparing herself with Tang Ying, Li Shengnan also felt that she fell short.

"Mm." Zhang Cheng nodded.

While, inside, he was pondering how to win this woman over.

Use force?

If she were the gentle and soft type, like Tang Ying, it could work.

But if she were to resist and refuse to the death, like Chen Shiru, then there wouldn't be much pleasure.

Moreover, violence would hardly win her heart.

And any resentment caused would undo all the previous efforts he'd made.

Since the outbreak of the biohazard crisis, Zhang Cheng had been continuously progressing, both in his way of thinking and his understanding of women.

And his heroic rescue of Li Shengnan just now wasn't merely to have a fling with her.

They both sat on the same sofa now. The atmosphere growing somewhat ambiguous as time went on.

Li Shengnan sneaked a glimpse at Zhang Cheng.

He was making noodles for her, but he seemed to be deep in thought.

She wasn't aware that Zhang Cheng was considering how to capture her heart and make her his woman.

And finally, Li Shengnan asked, "Can... I... Can I stay with you?"

However, Zhang Cheng was very direct, "If you follow me, you'd have to be my woman. Sorry, I can't bring strangers home, because I don't trust them."

Zhang Cheng's bluntness startled Li Shengnan. 

But she understood. In these uncertain times, trust was hard to come by.

Zhang Cheng added, "Don't misjudge. I know I'm ordinary-looking and not your type, so I wouldn't force you."

"I wonder... What about your wife...?" Li Shengnan ventured.

Zhang Cheng calmly replied, "She chose it voluntarily. Although she was bothered by my appearance too, she knew she needed to rely on me to survive in this end world."

Indeed, at first there was some coercion, but afterwards, Tang Yin chose it willingly. That wasn't a lie.

Li Shengnan nodded, signifying understanding. The laws of society had changed now.

The strong men naturally could win women's favor.

Zhang Cheng turned off the stove, served the noodles in the bowl and said,

"The rice and water here are for you. Remember to close the door when you leave." 

Just as Zhang Cheng was about to leave, Li Shengnan stopped him.

"Wait." She got up and stopped Zhang Cheng.
