"Yellow" Room One.

The final episode of the new anime Demon Slayer was playing on the 32-inch screen.

"Yang Ao!!!"

Shen Jin lay on the electric recliner and shouted.

"Coming!"

Yang Ao walked over with the guilty look of someone caught doing something sneaky.

"Tomorrow, we'll head out again and bring someone back. Don't stay up playing too late."

Shen Jin knew Yang Ao definitely had plans tonight, but he did not stop him. After all, it was consensual.

"Got it, Brother Jin. Um, I'll go grab a few buns."

"Go ahead. You don't need to report something that minor to me."

Yang Ao gave Shen Jin a grateful look and left.

Tonight, I have to set something up for Brother Jin.

Shen Jin continued watching the anime. He had already made up his mind to give Yang Ao a chance.

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

Meanwhile, in Yang Ao's room.

Li Jie and Su Lele had been shocked too many times along the way, and disbelief still lingered on their faces.

"This villa actually has such complicated passageways underground!"

"And there is electricity underground too!"

"Is this the power of a Superhuman? It's terrifying~"

After their exclamations, the two immediately began finding each other unpleasant again. Li Jie spoke first.

"Oh my, Lele, aren't you wearing clothes your boyfriend gave you? When you two parted, you were all sweet talk, saying you'd survive together. So why did you come along too? If your boyfriend found out, wouldn't he be furious?"

Su Lele refused to back down. "Sister, don't talk about me. I wonder who was so excited that she was practically crying. That was hilarious."

"Hmph!"

"Hmph hmph!"

Yang Ao returned from Shen Jin's room. "You two eat first. Afterward, take turns showering."

He placed three plastic bags and the buns he had just heated in the microwave onto the table, then began thinking.

Brother Jin has treated me well. I can't keep all the good stuff to myself; I need to arrange something nice for him.

Though I don't want to say it, Brother Jin is the reserved-and-repressed type.

He might not be able to handle someone too forward.

He looked at the restrained Su Lele. She clearly wanted more, yet she was pretending to be innocent and cute.

Perfect! She's just right for Brother Jin.

Seeing that there was no one else around and that Yang Ao had not made any strange demands for now, the two women began eating.

At first, they were both restrained, taking only two bites.

But... it was so damn delicious!

Seeing Li Jie gradually pick up the pace, Su Lele began chewing faster as well.

Neither of them had eaten a proper meal in a week. By the time Shang Qian left, the group only had enough food left to ration out for one week.

It was barely enough to keep them from starving to death.

As Li Jie ate, large tears rolled down her face.

Then she flung her head back and smiled freely, as if the tears had never appeared.

"I never knew rice could smell this good. I used to think it was flavorless, haha~"

Su Lele gnawed on a warm bun and felt the same way, but she did not want to agree with Li Jie.

"Hmph! That's because you've never been hungry!"

Soon, all the food was gone, and the two women let out satisfied burps.

"Brother Ao, tell us. Are we doing this together, or one at a time?" Li Jie was extremely direct, and her hand had already begun roaming over Yang Ao's leg.

Su Lele spat lightly, silently cursing Li Jie for being shameless.

But she did not say anything. The moment she ate that meal, she had known what might happen.

Now, she could only hope Yang Ao did not have any strange fetishes.

"Su Lele, go take a shower first. Once you're out, I have something for you to do."

Half an hour later, just as Yang Ao was growing impatient from waiting, Su Lele emerged wrapped in a bath towel.

Her tender, fair jade-like arms were exposed, along with her exquisite collarbones. High above, she was like icy branches and white jade; lower down, like snow brimming in silver bowls.

With red lips, white teeth, and bright eyes that were clear and limpid,

she seemed to radiate the unique glow of a young girl.

A lotus rising from clear water, naturally untouched by ornament!

Yang Ao stared, dumbfounded.

He had misjudged her. He had thought Su Lele was merely a minor beauty, with youth being her only advantage.

He had not expected this.

Seeing Yang Ao's gaze, Su Lele secretly rejoiced. At her age, she did not need cosmetics to show her best self.

Clearly, she was exactly his type.

However, Yang Ao's next sentence sent her straight into the abyss.

"All right, not bad. Go get a basin of hot water, then head to the 'Yellow' Room One next door and give the person inside a massage. Just do whatever he tells you the whole time."

Mist gathered in Su Lele's eyes and turned to tears, and she looked ready to cry.

Yang Ao frowned, feeling a little impatient, but he still explained, "You should know the person inside."

Su Lele's frightened heart suddenly became a little curious.

But Yang Ao was already impatiently waving her away, so she kept it to herself.

"Wait, come back!"

Su Lele's emotions rose and fell. Staying here meant facing an unknown person and unknown events. Yang Ao could be fierce sometimes, but at least he still treated her like a person.

"Hm?"

Yang Ao suddenly grinned mischievously. "When you knock, say, 'Sir, the technician you ordered has arrived.' Got it?"

"Ah? Ah, got it."

Twenty-four-year-old Su Lele now stood outside "Yellow" Room One.

Hesitating, pacing, turning in circles.

A moment later, she took a deep breath and knocked gently.

Knock, knock, knock~

"Sir, the technician you ordered has arrived."

In the dim underground corridor, the sound-activated lights suddenly came on.

Having finished the final episode of Demon Slayer, Shen Jin was lamenting that there were no bullet comments in the apocalypse, so he could not enjoy the ridiculous comments from online users.

"Sigh, half the fun of watching anime is gone."

A woman's voice came from outside the door.

"A technician???"

Shen Jin was a little confused. Why was there a woman here?

Yang Ao brought her? Shouldn't she be in his room?

Shen Jin looked at the wall of monitors and spotted Su Lele standing outside the door.

"Huh!? Where did this beauty come from? Why don't I remember her being here?"

Shen Jin checked all the cameras around the house. Only after confirming that nothing was out of place did he open the door.

With a stern face, he asked, "What do you want?"

Su Lele nodded hurriedly. "Do."

"Ahem, I asked what you came here for."

"Yes."

Shen Jin: ∑( ̄□ ̄*|||

Seeing the woman carrying a basin, Shen Jin asked again, "Were you one of the people Wanyu Group rescued? Did Yang Ao send you?"

Shen Jin did not remember seeing her among his former colleagues, but she looked somewhat familiar.

"Ah, yes. Brother Ao told me to come give you a massage."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Shen Jin suddenly found it rather interesting. Besides, this young woman was quite pretty.

Her stubbornness and smile somehow suited his tastes.

"Then come in."

Looking at the fit, mildly handsome man before her, Su Lele seemed to remember something and boldly asked,

"Brother, did we meet somewhere before the apocalypse?"

Shen Jin froze. He suddenly recalled a memory and said incredulously, "You're Lele?"

"Yes, my name is Su Lele."

"I remember now! You graduated last year, right? I saw you when I went to your school for recruitment. You applied for a position at Wanyu Group."

"Ah! I remember now, Senior Shen!"

They had met once before, and Shen Jin had even offered her some words of encouragement.

Unexpectedly, after that campus recruitment event, he resigned, narrowly missing Su Lele, who joined the company later.

After recognizing each other, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Shen Jin thought, Should I still let her massage me?

But Su Lele keenly noticed an opportunity.

An opportunity to climb the social ladder and become someone above others.

"Senior, thank you for saving me. You killed so many Zombies, so you must be exhausted, right? Let me knead your shoulders."

Su Lele smiled as beautifully as a flower, just as lovely as she had been in university, instantly stirring Shen Jin's memories.

"Seems... I am a little tired? Then give me a massage?"
