Chapter Ninety-Four: An Qingyu

“Yay, Brother Fang, I adore you.”

Overjoyed, Jing Ru ignored the others’ stares, threw her arms around Fang Xia’s neck, and kissed him hard on the cheek.

The others were used to it by now. Sooner or later, this day would come; no one could be bothered to worry about it anymore.

“How did the cleanup go today on the side closer to the bridge?”

Once the talk turned to business, the sound of eating around the table grew noticeably quieter.

“Though a lot of zombies had piled up over the past few days and hadn’t been cleared yet, today we still managed to reach the bridge. From here on, we just need to spend a little time each day sweeping through again.”

Fang Xia nodded.

This matter was extremely important. Only by sealing off this road could he keep his team’s losses to a minimum.

“Oh, and both the Fat Commander and the Thin Commander came looking for you today. They probably wanted to ask about the zombie assault on the city,” Liu Rui said, as if remembering something.

“Tell them to stay obediently in the territory and follow our arrangements when the time comes.”

“Okay.”

Four dishes were not much. Though each was served in a huge basin, under the fierce assault of eight people they were quickly wiped clean.

Even Jiang, the ever-composed doctor, had unexpectedly joined the scramble today. Her chopsticks never once stopped moving.

That was the allure of stir-fried dishes.

After the meal, cleaning was still Jing Ru’s task, while the others entered a rare period of free rest.

They could chat, read comics, or sleep for a while.

How exactly was she supposed to tell Brother Fang about this? What if he refused? What then?

Fang Xia had originally planned to take Liu Rui along as well and let her experience the charm of that folding camp bed. Suddenly, however, a voice sounded in his head.

“Yun Yun, you look distracted. What are you thinking about?”

The little girl, as Liu Rui’s assistant, had contributed a great deal to the entire team. Any request he could fulfill, Fang Xia would certainly agree to.

“Huh?”

The little girl had not expected Fang Xia to call her so suddenly, and she panicked a little.

“What’s bothering you so much? Tell me, let me hear it too.”

After hesitating for a moment, the little girl finally spoke.

“I have a mentor I was very close to. I always thought she had died long ago, but today I found her in Dawn City.”

A close teacher?

Fang Xia said nothing and listened on.

“She was lucky enough to survive too, hiding in a small group. Since that group’s commander was coveting her body, she didn’t suffer too much.”

“But after the news of the zombie assault spread today, that little commander lost his patience and was preparing to force himself on her. Luckily, my teacher was clever and slipped away.”

“Just happened to run into me today, so I brought her back.”

By this point, Fang Xia understood. It seemed the little girl’s teacher was quite attractive; otherwise, that commander would never have endured so long just to make her yield willingly.

Now that the little girl had come to plead on her behalf, she probably wanted to keep her teacher out of the fighting. That was hardly difficult.

“Then just assign her some logistical work. How about having her help you out?”

The little girl hesitated and faltered, but in the end she still said it.

“I want her to live on the second floor.”

“What?”

That was not Fang Xia questioning her. It was the others on the second floor.

There were already eight people living on the second floor. And now you want to bring another one in?

Brother Fang himself hadn’t even brought a woman in. Even Li Qianwan didn’t get that kind of treatment. And you want to bring in your own woman to help Brother Fang expand his harem?

Although everyone was still proper and aboveboard, the entire team had only one man, Fang Xia, and they all lived on the second floor now.

The young women in the team had long since tacitly accepted that they were all the commander’s women.

Even they themselves sometimes accepted it by default.

Adding more people now would not really be appropriate, would it?

“My teacher is very capable. She has a doctorate from a top university, and she only came to work at our school a few months ago.”

The little girl began to argue earnestly, wanting her friend and teacher to enjoy a better life.

Anyway, Fang Xia was not as terrifying as the rumors made him out to be. At least in this place, among those seven stunning women upstairs, he had only slept with two.

“A female doctor? Can she use ninja techniques?”

Jing Ru suddenly blurted out something entirely out of the blue.

“Adults are talking. Go play somewhere else, child.”

After scolding Jing Ru, Fang Xia looked back at the little girl.

“Since you speak so highly of her, I’d like to meet her and see what kind of person she is.”

Since the little girl was so insistent, Fang Xia was genuinely interested. Besides, it was also a way of giving her some face.

A living doctor with a doctorate—this was his first time seeing one. He wanted to see whether they were truly that different from ordinary people.

“Then should I call her up now?”

The little girl was full of confidence in her teacher. As long as she came upstairs and talked with Brother Fang for a while, she would absolutely make a deep impression on him.

Fang Xia nodded.

The little girl dashed downstairs on her short legs, while the others put down what they were doing. Even Liu Rui took a branded cosmetic case from her spatial storage and applied a light makeup.

It was the competitiveness of women laid bare.

Before long, the little girl returned, with another woman following behind her.

Everyone’s gaze passed over the little girl at once and landed on the unfamiliar woman they were seeing for the first time.

Age: about twenty-five or twenty-six. Very good.

Height: over one hundred sixty-five centimeters. Perfect.

Features: even with exhaustion written all over her face, and with no makeup at all, her beauty still could not be concealed.

Figure: yes, Fang Xia nodded. Quite impressive.

At that moment, he somewhat admired that little commander. In the apocalypse, and he could still hold back from a woman like this? He must have been a perfectionist to the core.

Not that it was me. I already have several beauties of this caliber, and there are even top-tier beauties among the ladies downstairs.

“Brother Fang, this is my teacher, An Qingyu.”

Good name. That earned a few more points. Counting it like this...

Fang Xia stole a glance at Liu Rui beside him.

“Hello, everyone. My name is An Qingyu.”

Her voice was crisp and decisive. Even in her present, shabby state, it could not hide the pride deep in her bones.

“Yun Yun wants you to live on the second floor, but the second floor isn’t a place just anyone can go. What ability do you have that would make me willing to make an exception?”

Fang Xia went straight to the point. If she had ability, it could be considered. If she only had looks, there was already a twin sister here who was beautiful and nothing else.

An Qingyu blinked her bright eyes, but said nothing.

“Let’s do it this way. You know about the zombie assault on the city too, right? What are your thoughts on it?”

If she really was a doctoral graduate, then let her offer some views and let me see what she can do.

Ha. This commander is no different from other men. He keeps so many women upstairs, and the moment I came in he sized me up from head to toe. Not a good person.

And testing me too. Afraid of something as simple as a zombie assault on the city? Do you think I’d say anything?
