You call this a love game?

"Okay, then hurry up and wash."

Seeing that the girl refused, Yuri Wakasa had no choice but to continue tidying herself up and prepare to dry off and go back.

"Teacher!" Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao suddenly opened the cubicle door, her wet hair still dripping. "Um... could I borrow your shampoo? The one I got doesn't smell very nice."

Sakura Megumi suddenly turned around, nearly splashing foam onto Ebisu Kurumi's face. "Wait! Why did you come out like that!"

"What does it matter?" Hu Tao tossed her hair nonchalantly. "They're all girls... Wow!"

She suddenly stepped on something and slipped forward. Sakura Ji heard the noise and tried to catch her, but the two of them fell into the cubicle together, with shower gel bottles clattering and rolling all over the floor.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Ebisu Kurumi subconsciously rubbed her knee, which she had bumped, and suddenly realized that her face was pressed against Sakura Megumi's chest. She blinked and said blankly, "Teacher...so soft..."

"Kurumi-kun!" Sakura Megumi's face instantly turned red, and her ahoge (cowlick) stood up like an antenna.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Bai Yu's voice sounded muffled through the door.

"Do you need help? I think I heard a scream."

"No, no need!" Three female voices rang out at the same time.

They were all still naked and taking a bath, how could they let him in to help at a time like this, unless a zombie suddenly crawled out of the sewer?

'patta'

Just as Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao turned off the shower, the crisp sound of Bai Yu gently tapping the tiles with a shovel came from outside the bathroom door.

"Alright, ladies, if we keep washing, it'll be dawn soon. If you're not going to sleep, I'll have to go to sleep first."

Sakura Ji hurriedly grabbed a towel to wrap around her dripping ahoge (cowlick), water still dripping onto her collarbone. "M-almost done!"

Although the zombies had been cleared out, the bloodstains in the corridor were still there and hadn't been washed off. Walking in this blood-stained corridor late at night wearing only thin clothes, with occasional suppressed growls coming from outside, even Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao couldn't help but get goosebumps when the evening breeze blew gently.

However, just as they were wiping their bodies, Takeya Yuki had already picked up her clothes basket, opened the door, and walked out.

The girl was wearing only a pure white T-shirt, the hem of which barely covered her panties up to her thighs, but a hint of pink could still be vaguely seen. The cool outfit added a touch of freshness to the midsummer.

She walked past Bai Yu by the wall with her head down and a listless expression, as if she hadn't seen him at all.

"Aren't you cold wearing so little, Zhangqiang?" Bai Yu asked casually as he leaned against the wall.

Upon hearing the sound, Yuki Takeya stopped, shook her head, and opened her mouth as if she had something to say, but she hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything.

Bai Yu maintained a warm smile, trying to improve the girls' impression of him.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Takeya-kun? Please don't hesitate to ask. We'll be comrades from now on, so there's no need to be so shy."

Yuki Takeya shook her head again, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Perhaps she wasn't thinking about anything at all, and it was best if she didn't. Otherwise, just thinking about the bloody and horrific scene that afternoon made her tremble uncontrollably. She didn't want to become like that, nor did she want her sister Ci to become like that. Those man-eating monsters terrified her...

Just as her body was trembling like a sieve, a light jacket suddenly appeared on her body, enveloping her with a trace of warmth.

She looked up at the man in front of her, who smiled and said, "If you're cold, Zhang Qiang, you should go back to bed and lie down first, so you don't catch a cold."

She tugged at her clothes, and a unique sandalwood scent wafted into her nostrils from the man's body.

After a long silence, she finally spoke.

"Thank you... thank you..."

The voice was so low it was almost inaudible, yet it reached Bai Yu's ears clearly.

"Don't mention it, we're all comrades. Besides, Takeya is very cute. I've always wished I had a little sister like you."

To be honest, just looking at her figure, it was hard for him to associate the little girl in front of him, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, with a high school student, especially since she was a senior high school student who was about to graduate.

If he hadn't developed some thick skin from his previous encounter with Xiaoyuan, he really wouldn't have dared to make a move on such a cute little girl.

Of the female protagonists provided by the system, four have appeared so far. However, just like last time, there is still one whose location he hasn't found yet. He will need to continue his exploration to find her. He just hopes that she is still alive when he finds her.

After all, this is the apocalypse, a world of zombies, where everyone is in danger. How can a little girl like her survive?

He's watched quite a few zombie movies, which is why he's worried about what the world will become in the future.

Whether it's a conspiracy by certain companies or a threat from extraterrestrial objects, the future of humanity will certainly not be easy.

Unless these zombies remain at this level, without evolving or developing special abilities, possessing only their inherent high infectivity and slightly higher strength than ordinary people.

But the refuge facilities at the school made him realize that things were definitely not that simple.

As if they knew from the beginning that this situation would occur, they specifically built these facilities so that they could live a self-sufficient life at school.

There's definitely a conspiracy.

But it's not time to reveal the conspiracy yet. The most important thing is to survive and take care of these girls.

Although he 'heartlessly' said on the rooftop that he would abandon them if they didn't follow, he wouldn't actually abandon them; it was just a way to motivate them.

Even if they don't follow, things will be much easier later. If they want to survive, they have to come to him. He can use this opportunity to make some reasonable requests and get closer to them. It couldn't be better.

It seems that the current relationship is not bad. At least the girls are all nice people and they did not ostracize him because he was an outsider.

They escorted Yuki Takeya back to the classroom that had been used as a bedroom, where their little nest, where they would sleep that night, was neatly made.

There were no students here when the zombie outbreak occurred, so there was no blood on the floor. All that was needed was to mop the floor, tidy up the classroom a bit, and move out any extra things. The room was filled with five beds and there was still some space left.

Back in her room, Yuki Takeya sat directly on her bed, still wearing her white coat, head bowed and silent.

She's been in this state of mind since the afternoon. She doesn't talk much to anyone, doesn't seem very energetic, and didn't eat much for dinner.

As the only male in the team, Bai Yu felt it was necessary to care about the mental state of the team members, as too much pressure was not good.

Taking off his shoes, he slowly walked to Yuki Takeya's side and gently patted the girl who was still in a daze.

"Zhang Qiang, what are you thinking about?"

"Ok?"

Thinking instinctively that he was there to ask for her coat, Takeya Yuki reached out to pull at her clothes, but Shiraha stopped her hand.

"If you're cold, just put this on. But... is it convenient for us to talk now? Takeya, the way you look is making me very worried."

"I'm sorry..." the girl replied softly, her head still bowed.

"Does Zhangqiang have any concerns?"

Shiraha sat cross-legged next to Takeya Yuki's bed, resting her chin on her elbows on her knees.

The girl's knuckles were slightly white as she gripped the edge of her coat, and her eyelashes cast delicate shadows under the warm light.

“Actually…” she suddenly began, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly, “I saw Sato-kun from Class 3-B… being… by them…”

The conversation abruptly ended in mid-air, and Bai Yu noticed that her shoulders twitched sharply, as if unseen teeth were gnawing at her memories.

The girl forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Sato-san said that after she graduated, she would start working and never let her sister go hungry again, but now..."

Sato, who has now become a zombie, will never have the chance to fulfill her wish again, and her sister will most likely no longer go hungry.

They were chatting happily and warmly together that morning, and she even saw a picture of Sato's sister, a very cute girl, almost as cute as Sato herself, but now all of that has vanished.

A disaster destroyed everyone's dreams.

“Takeya, this isn’t your fault. You don’t need to feel guilty or have any other negative emotions.” Bai Yu reached out and gently patted the girl’s back. “Nobody expected this disaster to happen. Everyone has their own destiny. Think about it on the bright side. Maybe Sato and her sister will be reborn into a wealthy family in their next life. If they were still alive, would they still be suffering from this terrible world?”

"So there's no need to be too sad. What's past is past. What we need to do is look forward. The best time to plant a tree is in the past, the second best time is now. We just need to focus on our current life. Your classmates and teachers are here. You don't want to see them turn into man-eating monsters, do you?"

"I don't want to." Yuki Takeya shook her head very seriously this time.

"It's okay not to think about it." Seeing that the talk therapy was effective, Bai Yu continued to comfort her with even greater intensity: "But the way you are right now is not a good state to be in. If you continue like this, everyone will be affected by you."

"So let's cheer up and help our teachers and classmates with their work, so we can all build a better future together, okay?"

Looking up and seeing Shiraha's expectant eyes, Takeya Yuki hesitated for a moment, her mind flashing with familiar images of her classmates dying, but these were immediately replaced by the figure of the man in front of her.

Gradually, her gaze hardened.

"Okay, I promise you."

Chapter 120 Sakura Megumi's Blind Date History

Seeing that Takeya Yuki had agreed, Shiraha immediately gave her a thumbs up and praised, "Great job! Takeya-kun's strength is beyond my expectations."

“But—” Takeya Yuki suddenly became hesitant, deliberately turning her face away, as if she was very embarrassed about what she was about to say.

"You...you said before that you really wanted a younger sister like me, right? Does that...still count?"

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and stared at Bai Yu expectantly, her eyes fixed on him. Her little mouth was also pouting pitifully, trying her best to make herself look even more pitiful.

Having finally taken the initiative, she didn't want to be the clown and be easily rejected.

She couldn't just pick anyone to be her brother; she had seen everything Bai Yu had done today.

Whether it was taking huge risks to clear the monsters in the teaching building at the beginning, or taking the initiative to help collect supplies later, she could do so much even though she had only met them today. In Yuki Takeya's heart, she already regarded Shiraha as a trustworthy companion.

Besides, he also had the added identity of being Sakura Megumi's blind date.

Based on her understanding of Sister Ci, Bai Yu, her blind date, must be a pretty decent person!

So let's try to bring them together! Although she's never been in a relationship, based on her experience, Sister Ci definitely hasn't either! So, from the current perspective, Brother Baiyu is definitely a very good choice.

Becoming a younger sister is just a pretense; her real intention is to bring the two of them together!

You didn't expect that, did you? That was her real purpose!

"Of course...it counts!"

Faced with Yuki Takeya's request, Shiraha readily agreed. How could he possibly turn away a little lamb that had come to him like this? Even if he couldn't win her over in the first playthrough, just raising her affection level would be enough for him. At least he could learn some information about her.

Seeing that Bai Yu had agreed, Yuki Takeya's eyes lit up instantly. She bounced around on the spot like a happy puppy, then suddenly opened her arms and pounced on Bai Yu, "Brother!"

Bai Yu was caught off guard and bumped into, almost losing his balance.

The girl's wet hair brushed against his chest, carrying the lemon scent of shampoo. He chuckled and put his arm around her shoulder. "Why so suddenly?"

"Because from now on you are Yuki's older brother!" Yuki looked up, her previously listless eyes now curving into crescents as she looked at Shiraha with a grin.

“My brother is family, and family should stay together!” Yuki Takeya said with utmost seriousness. “So tonight, Yuki wants to sleep in my brother’s arms, is that okay?”

Seemingly afraid that he would refuse, the girl put on a pitiful expression, her fingers tightly gripping Bai Yu's collar, as if she wouldn't let go until he agreed.

Faced with the girl's sudden clinginess, Bai Yu sighed and said helplessly, "But I'm on night watch tonight, and I might not even get to sleep."

"Woo..."

The girl leaned against Bai Yu's chest and sobbed softly, as if she was about to cry.

"I'm sorry... Yuki just wanted to spend more time with her brother..."

Bai Yu reached out and gently patted the girl's wet head, glancing slightly at his own soaked clothes with a hint of disdain, and tried to comfort her, "Once it's safe, Yuki can stay with me as long as she wants. How about Yuki stays alone for a while tonight?"

"Okay~" Yuki Takeya obediently replied, continuing to lie on Shiraha and refusing to leave.

However, at that moment, the classroom door suddenly opened, and Sakura Megumi walked in, drying her wet hair. When she saw the scene in front of her, she froze on the spot.

All she saw was Takeya Yuki lying disheveled in Shiraha's arms, revealing a glimpse of her youthful, innocent curves. Her shoulders were trembling slightly, as if she were crying, while Shiraha's hand was still on the girl's shoulder, giving off a somewhat coercive impression.

"What are you doing?!" Sakura Megumi's voice suddenly rose, and her ahoge (cowlick) stood up like an antenna.

She rushed forward in three strides, pulled Yuki behind her, and spread her arms like a mother hen protecting her chicks, standing between the two.

Before Bai Yu could explain, he was met with a pair of angry eyes.

Sakura Ji's eyes widened as she stared intently at Shiraha, her gaze filled with anger and panic.

She couldn't understand how someone who was so gentle and refined during the day could suddenly reveal his true colors at night, attempting to harm her student while she was away! It was utterly unforgivable!

As a teacher, she naturally couldn't watch her student being forced to do something she didn't want to do, nor could she stand by and watch her suffer a terrible fate. Even though she didn't think she could beat Bai Yu, she still had to stand up for her!

However, while she was still trying to cheer herself up and find something to defeat this 'beast in human clothing' in front of her, Takeya Yuki poked her head out from behind Sakura Megumi.

"Sister Ci, Mr. Bai Yu is now my brother."

"Brother...brother?" Sakura Megumi's anger froze on her face, her expression becoming quite interesting.

"Yes!" Yuki nodded vigorously, taking the opportunity to slip out from behind Sakura Megumi and hug Shiraha's arm. "Yuki loves her brother the most!"

Hui Feixuzawa Kurumi and Wakasa Yuri returned to their temporary bedroom and were stunned by what they saw.

"what's the situation?"

They seriously doubted whether they had lost a week's worth of memories. The girl who had been so lifeless and gloomy just moments before had suddenly become cheerful and was now so close to this man from outside the school...

Were you hypnotized?

This was the only solution they could think of; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense why Yuki would change her mind so quickly.
