Dr. Zhou Keren quickly removed her clothes, leaving only a set of pink thermal underwear.
Tossing her disheveled clothes to the ground, she knelt down, gasping for breath.
Tears welled up in her eyes, expressing the excitement within her at that moment.
It was only now that she remembered there was a man in front of her.
Zhang Ye's gun remained aimed at Dr. Zhou Keren.
With a forced smile, Zhou Keren said, "You're really cautious."
She raised her hands, showing them to Zhang Ye. "Look, in this state, I can't possibly hide any dangerous weapons, right?"
Zhang Ye's expression remained indifferent as he casually shook the gun in his hand.
"Continue undressing."
"You must be completely honest with me before I can accept you."
Zhang Ye was an extremely cautious man.
Of course, only he knew if there were any other motives behind his actions.
Upon hearing this, Dr. Zhou Keren bit her lip tightly.
Lowering her head, a blush spread across her face.
Being forced to undress in front of a man she barely knew was a deeply shameful experience for her.
But she also understood that she had no bargaining power at the moment.
Zhang Ye's home was just too warm!
Compared to the environment she had lived in before, it was like heaven.
To obtain something, one must pay an equivalent price. She understood this well.
"Alright, I'll undress."
Summoning her courage, Zhou Keren, with trembling arms, began to take off her pink thermal underwear.
Zhang Ye's eyes remained fixed on her, wary of any sudden moves.
This was purely for safety. Zhang Ye, being a man of integrity, had no other intentions.
However, as she lifted her clothes and revealed her fair abdomen, Zhang Ye felt a slight itch in his throat.
Zhou Keren's skin was extremely fair, comparable to the snow outside the window.
This kind of fairness couldn't be achieved postnatally; it was innate, like ice-white and tender as milk.
Under the soft room lighting, it even emitted a faint, holy halo.
She slowly lifted her clothes over her head, revealing a black lace bra underneath.
Zhang Ye recalled a popular saying on the internet: women who wear black lingerie tend to be mysterious.
After taking off her outer layer, Zhou Keren reached for her waist, bending her body to remove her thermal leggings.
As she regularly engaged in fitness, her figure was excellent—long and well-proportioned.
Where there should be curves, there were curves, and where there should be slenderness, there was slenderness. There was not an ounce of excess fat around her waist.
Any casual bending motion could trigger countless imaginations.
This angle provided Zhang Ye with an excellent view.
Having caught a glimpse of Zhou Keren in a sweater before, he thought her dimensions were impressive.
Little did he expect that now, he had underestimated her figure.
The astonishing dimensions were full and round, captivating the eyes.
Zhou Keren felt Zhang Ye's gaze, and her face turned as red as if it would drip blood.
Yet, she endured the shame in her heart and continued undressing.
Throwing her clothes on the ground, she kicked them aside with her foot, her face filled with shyness.
After all, she hadn't taken a shower for half a month and was worried about any unpleasant odors that might repel Zhang Ye.
"Now... is this acceptable?"
Holding her fair arms around her ample chest, she blushed, unable to meet Zhang Ye's eyes.
Zhang Ye took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Of course—not acceptable! Who can guarantee there's no deadly weapon hidden under those two pieces of clothing!"
Zhang Ye was a gentleman; he would never take advantage of someone in a vulnerable position!
He was just being cautious and making reasonable requests!
Please don't misunderstand.
Zhou Keren's body trembled violently.
After a moment of silence, she ultimately chose to submit.
So, in front of Zhang Ye, she removed her last line of defense.
Fully exposing her flawless body to Zhang Ye.
"You...you can come now."
She closed her eyes, as if resigned.
In the apocalypse, modesty was worth nothing.
She was a smart woman who had already come to terms with it.
But at this moment, Zhang Ye didn't pounce on her like a beast.
He glanced at the medical kit on the ground, then said to Zhou Keren, "I suggest you take a shower first!"
Zhou Keren's face turned even redder. She picked up her clothes and fled into the bathroom like escaping from something.
Zhang Ye found some women's clothes from his spatial dimension and tossed them outside the bathroom.
"Here are some clean clothes. You can change into them later."
"In terms of underwear, I picked one according to your size. Try it on to see if it fits."
Having managed the warehouse for so long, Zhang Ye had developed a keen eye.
At a glance, he could tell that Zhou Keren was a 36D!
Inside the bathroom, Zhou Keren made a soft sound of acknowledgment.
Shortly afterward, the sound of rushing water filled the air.
Zhang Ye sat on the sofa, waiting patiently for Zhou Keren to finish her shower.
In the bathroom, as the hot water sprayed on her head, Zhou Keren's eyes, filled with tears of excitement, reflected her deep emotions.
It was only when you lost something that you realized the meaning of happiness.
In her daily life before the apocalypse, she didn't feel the importance of those things.
But after the apocalypse arrived, she realized the value of those conveniences brought about by thousands of years of human civilization.
The products of human civilization, developed over thousands of years, had become even more precious.
Because she hadn't taken a shower in half a month, Zhou Keren washed herself thoroughly this time.
After about half an hour, she suddenly realized that this was Zhang Ye's home and hastened her shower.
Water resources were also precious now.
However, Zhang Ye didn't express any objections or rush her.
He had a large reserve of water.
Even in extreme situations, there was an abundance of snow and ice outside that could be used.
Human activities had pressed the pause button, and natural snowwater was exceptionally clean, even suitable for drinking.
"Click."
The bathroom door opened.
Zhang Ye looked over and saw a steaming fair arm reaching out, picking up the clothes he had left outside the door.
Not long after, Zhou Keren, wearing pajamas, walked out.
Her wet hair spread out behind her, exuding a breathtaking beauty.
Zhang Ye couldn't help but widen his eyes.
In all the time he had known Zhou Keren, it was the first time he had discovered how beautiful she was.
As the chief physician at the hospital, she was usually very busy and had no time for makeup or hairstyling, at most applying a little light makeup.
After the shower, she looked as fresh and pure as a lotus, truly stunning Zhang Ye.
But that was all there was to it. Zhang Ye's alertness remained.
The only person he trusted was himself.
