Chapter 19: Tang Tang Walked into the Trap
Page 1 of 3
Qin Feng was still inside the system space. He lay down on the soft bed and rested for a while.
The AI flight attendant, Xiaoqing, appeared without a sound and cleared away all the dirty dishes from the dining table. The entire space returned to its original spotless condition.
Qin Feng slept for twenty minutes before opening his eyes and waking up.
He felt utterly refreshed.
The sight of the campus beauty’s jet-black hair flying through the air had been breathtakingly beautiful...

[Lin Yuwei’s emotional progress bar: Obedient. (主动，舔狗，究极大舔狗)]
Qin Feng was extremely pleased to see the newly updated items in the system shop.
The shame emotion was especially valuable. It had given him ten thousand points in one stroke.
It was truly a win-win situation, though the items in the shop were becoming more and more expensive.
And Lin Yuwei’s emotional state had changed to “obedient,” which was even better news.
In the future, he would need to recruit more campus beauties... complementing one another and helping one another achieve their goals.
He rose from the bed and walked into the brand-new bathroom.
When he turned on the shower, warm water immediately cascaded down.
In this apocalypse, where the water and power had long since failed, being able to enjoy a hot shower felt like a heavenly luxury.
...
Elsewhere, Lin Yuwei entered Tang Tang’s dormitory room.
Tang Tang found it very strange to see Lin Yuwei’s swollen eyes and tear-streaked face.
“It’s nothing.”

As she spoke, Lin Yuwei rushed straight toward the bathroom on the balcony.
“Can I use your bathroom first?”
She bent over the sink and rinsed her mouth frantically, over and over, as though she wanted to spit something out.
Then she entered the shower room, took off her clothes, turned on the tap, and used the icy water to scour her body.
Tang Tang had no idea what had happened to Lin Yuwei, so she could only wait quietly outside.
She took a clean bath towel from the cabinet and hung it on the bathroom doorknob.
However, she could not tear her eyes away from the few takeaway boxes Lin Yuwei had casually placed on the table.
A rich and overpowering aroma of food seeped through the gaps in the boxes, relentlessly stimulating her taste buds.
To be honest, it was difficult for a girl who had been hungry for three days, surviving on little more than snacks and sheer willpower, not to be tempted upon suddenly seeing several takeaway boxes filled with steaming, fragrant food.
But Tang Tang had been raised with excellent manners.
She would never touch anything that did not belong to her without permission.
At last, Lin Yuwei finished bathing and came out.
Her eyes were dull. Wrapped in a bath towel, she sat on a stool while water dripped from her long, soaking-wet hair.
Lin Yuwei raised her head and surveyed the dormitory.
It was very tidy, with no sign that it had endured any chaos. The other three beds were empty.
“Where are your roommates?” Lin Yuwei asked.
A trace of cold indifference appeared in Tang Tang’s smile.
“They’re all dead.”
“The night before last, they went to the roof to fight over supplies. Several athletes from Room 416 pushed them off the building, and they fell to their deaths.”
Her tone was flat and icy, as though she were talking about some piece of news that had nothing to do with her.
Her three dead roommates seemed no more significant to her than dogs crushed beneath passing cars.
Lin Yuwei felt a chill in her heart.
“You didn’t go fight for supplies?”
Tang Tang shook her head and walked to the window, gazing at the lifeless campus outside.
“Yuwei, beautiful girls like us are usually called campus beauties, but people secretly envy us.”
“Now that the apocalypse has begun and morality has collapsed, the safest thing to do is hide in the dormitory and never go outside.”
“Just endure one day at a time. If you go out, another woman might beat you to death. So you have to hold on, stay in your room, and keep your head down!”
“As for the boys... Heh. They don’t even dare cross a street crawling with zombies. They’re completely useless. They brag so much in ordinary times, but when something actually happens, not one of them dares to step forward.”
Lin Yuwei nodded, deeply agreeing.
“That makes sense. My boyfriend, Wu Changle, is a total coward!”
Lin Yuwei suddenly thought that if Wu Changle had not been so useless, her two roommates would never have forced her to ask Qin Feng for food—and what had just happened would never have occurred.
In truth, she had been driven into prostitution by force, pushed toward Qin Feng by her worthless boyfriend and her detestable roommates.
She simply had not expected Qin Feng to feed her until she was full before consuming her himself...
His method of toying with a woman’s state of mind was truly hateful.
At last, Tang Tang could not restrain herself any longer. She turned around and stared intensely at the takeaway boxes.
“Come to think of it, Yuwei, did you bring back all that delicious food?”
“Where did it come from? It’s the apocalypse already. How could this be possible?”
A kind smile appeared on Lin Yuwei’s face.
But inside her, an evil idea was rapidly taking root.

Why?
Why should I be the only one forced to endure Qin Feng’s humiliation?
Why should you, Tang Tang, be able to hide safely in your dormitory and preserve your purity and pride?
Aren’t we best friends? Didn’t we promise to share everything?
Then you should share half of my suffering as well.
Lin Yuwei looked at Tang Tang’s still pure and flawless face and spoke in a soft, airy voice.
“Tang Tang, don’t worry about where the food came from...”
“Just eat without hesitation.”
“Once you’re full, there’s still...”
Lin Yuwei had originally intended to give the food to her roommates, Geng Xuan and Pan Yu.
But now she thought, Why should I be so kind to them?
Leaving them a little food was enough. As long as they did not starve to death, that would do—so long as they kept quiet and did not tell Wu Changle anything.
Lin Yuwei even had a daring idea.
She wanted to trick Tang Tang into going to Qin Feng’s room, acting as the middlewoman and pocketing the difference...
Hahaha! I really am a genius.
An evil smile appeared on Lin Yuwei’s face.
Seeing that Tang Tang was still hesitating, she eagerly picked up a piece of steak and held it to Tang Tang’s lips.
“Come on, the great campus beauty of the dance department. Don’t overthink it. If I’m giving it to you, then eat.”
Tang Tang hesitated for a moment, but in the end she could not resist her hunger. She opened her mouth and took a small bite.
The instant the meat juices burst across her tongue, she nearly burst into tears.
It was unbelievably delicious. She was a sophisticated rich girl who had seen and experienced the finer things in life.
A steak this delicious could only have been prepared by a Michelin-starred chef.
Tang Tang exclaimed, “Mmm, it’s so good! I haven’t had steak in ages.”
Lin Yuwei gazed at her and said quietly, “Tang Tang, the great campus beauty, I’m so envious of you. You’ve always lived in a greenhouse.”
“Your parents are wealthy, and your boyfriend is a top-tier rich and handsome man.”
“And you’re so beautiful. You’re much prettier than I am.”
“You study dance, so you have such a wonderful figure as well.”
“If I get the chance, I’ll take you somewhere.”
“You can eat plenty of delicious food there just by doing some housework—cleaning, scrubbing toilets, things like that.”
“You’ll be paid according to your labor, earning the food you deserve.”
Tang Tang’s heart began to stir.
The sweetness of the food clouded her judgment.
She widened her beautiful eyes. “Really? They give you food for doing housework? Where is it? Is it in our women’s dormitory building? Did you earn all this food by doing chores?”
Lin Yuwei nodded lightly with a smile.
“That’s right. I cleaned the place where the boys urinate...”
Tang Tang said, “You can just say toilets.”
Lin Yuwei fell silent.
