Chapter 16: Who’s the More Flirtatious One, Him or the Officer?

Ji Mingchen’s expression was nonchalant, his eyes crinkled with a smile as he said casually, “Sorry, something came up. The mission failed.”

Fei Kewei’s smile was radiant, and she was about to ask something, but before she could speak, her smile froze on her face.

Because the next second, she saw a girl in a white dress slowly getting out of the car: “Something came up?”

As soon as Wen Yao got out of the car, she saw everyone’s eyes fixed on her, and she felt uncomfortable.

After hearing Ji Mingchen’s words, she realized that he had been on a mission in Beizhou and that it seemed like he had failed the mission because he saved her.

“…”

She felt a little embarrassed.

Wen Yao felt a little guilty. Sensing her unease, Ji Mingchen placed his hand on her head and rubbed her hair affectionately, a gesture of reassurance and protection. “Is Doctor Lin here?”

Looking at this action, Fei Kewei’s brows furrowed even deeper: “He’s… in the rest room on the third floor.”

Ji Mingchen smiled at Fei Kewei, then turned to Wen Yao beside him, his voice and actions both gentle beyond compare: “Let’s go.”

Wen Yao straightened her hair, which had been ruffled, and gave him a strange look.

After they left, Fei Kewei turned her gaze to Mei Yasha and Di Dahu, asking: “What’s going on with Officer Ming? He’s ignoring his mission and bringing a girl back?”

Mei Yasha shrugged: “You’ve known the boss for a while now, when has he ever done anything logically?”

Di Dahu also shook his head, looking foolish: “I only follow the boss’s orders.”

Fei Kewei was puzzled. Although Ji Mingchen was naturally carefree and unrestrained, he wasn’t the type to be close to women, and he didn’t have a lot of beautiful women around him like other officers. Why was he suddenly bringing a beautiful girl back?

Out of curiosity, she turned and followed them.

Under the watchful eyes of the guards, Ji Mingchen led Wen Yao into the main building of the luxuriously decorated villa. From walking through the spacious and grand hall to going up the spiral staircase to the second floor, Wen Yao couldn’t help but look around.

It must be said that since the apocalypse, almost all technology has been regressing. In many areas, there wasn’t even water or electricity.

Even if there were some modern facilities, after being ravaged by zombies and left unrepaired, they were quite old and dilapidated. Even inside their District 13 base, there were many damaged buildings.

However, the interior of this ancient castle villa was so brand new that it was eye-catching.

Various ornaments and furnishings in the living room were spotless, red carpets were laid on the corridors and stairs, famous paintings from around the world hung on the walls, and there were even potted plants along the way. It was luxurious beyond anything one would expect to see in the apocalypse.

Most importantly, in the apocalypse where electricity resources were scarce, the entire villa was brightly lit. From the second floor upwards, there were even functioning elevators.

“…”

It had to be said that Officer Ji Mingchen was truly living in luxury and extravagance. No wonder he had such a bad reputation outside…

Ji Mingchen didn’t know what Wen Yao was thinking. Seeing her surprised expression, he smiled with amusement: “Do you like it here?”

Wen Yao’s thoughts were pulled back by the man’s voice. She realized that the elevator had arrived and hurriedly followed him inside.

The elevator reached the east third floor, leading to an office. The doctor inside stood up immediately when he saw Ji Mingchen, respectfully saying: “Officer Ming, you’re back?”

Ji Mingchen nodded: “Give me the key to the medicine room next door.”

Lin Zeren picked up the key chain on the desk: “Officer Ming, what kind of medicine do you need? I’ll get it for you.”

“No need to trouble yourself.” Ji Mingchen winked at Lin Zeren, his eyes twinkling with a captivating smile, his tone also suggestive: “For something personal like contraceptives, it’s better if I get it myself.”

“…”!

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Wen Yao frown at Ji Mingchen, but the people in the corridor outside also paused slightly.

Lin Zeren was momentarily stunned by the man’s smile. When he realized what those words meant, his entire face flushed red, and his startled gaze slowly shifted, landing on the girl beside him.

The girl looked to be in her early twenties, with fair skin, a beautiful face, and a gentle and docile appearance. Even though she was wearing a white dress stained with blood, she looked like a delicate porcelain doll. He didn’t know where he had picked her up from.

It was one thing to pick up a delicate and weak little girl, but he actually brought her here and asked for contraceptives in front of him. Who was the more flirtatious one, him or Ji Mingchen…

Lin Zeren sighed inwardly and handed the key to Ji Mingchen respectfully.

Ji Mingchen took the key and turned to leave.

Wen Yao didn’t know anyone else, so she could only follow his footsteps. When they reached the medicine room, Wen Yao looked at the man’s back, her heart filled with mixed emotions: “…Are you sure that’s what you meant?”

Ji Mingchen moved the medicine cabinet aside, searching for something as he casually replied: “What else?”

Wen Yao was speechless.

He was getting contraceptives.

So he was going to take her to…

It was true that in this apocalypse, the survival rules had returned to the primitive jungle of the law of the jungle. The so-called companions naturally referred to sexual partners who met their physiological needs.

Except for some bases in the Beizhou, where members were forbidden to have private relationships for the sake of management, making them relatively abstinent, people in other places were quite open. When it came to sex, it was a mess…

It was said that many powerful bosses in the Dongzhou, if they liked someone, would directly grab them and force themselves on them, without any regard for reason or logic.

Thinking about it this way, she had agreed to be his companion, and it seemed natural for him to take her to satisfy his physiological needs.

“…”

Ji Mingchen took a small rectangular box and left the room. Then he entered the elevator and took her to the top floor.

This was clearly his private domain. Wen Yao followed him down the narrow corridor, her heart pounding with every step, until her palms were sweating and her heart was about to jump out of her throat…

As she watched the man push open a certain door, she couldn’t help but tug at her skirt and ask: “…Are you going to do it now? Can you wait a little longer?”

Ji Mingchen heard this trembling, sweet voice, turned his head and glanced at her: “Nervous?”

Wen Yao didn’t know how to explain. She didn’t know why she was so nervous.

She wouldn’t be nervous when facing enemies, and she could remain calm when facing zombies. But why was she so flustered and anxious about something that clearly wasn’t a threat to her life?

Ji Mingchen went into the room first. Seeing her standing outside, hesitant to enter, he raised his eyebrows and teased in a drawn-out tone: “Didn’t you agree so readily just now? Now you’re… regretting it?”

“…”
