Zhao Yu (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Yu slept for an unknown amount of time. After waking up, he stretched a little and then started exercising.
In this post-apocalyptic world, he knew well that physical fitness was crucial.
After almost an hour of bodyweight training, Zhao Yu stopped and opened his room door to leave.
Walking around the corridor, he realized nobody was there. The three sisters were probably asleep.
Without giving it much thought, Zhao Yu headed to the bathroom to rinse off with cold water.
After finishing his bath, he found Xu Meng Lan was waiting at the door.
“Honey, you’re awake!”
“Mmm.”
“Are you hungry? Do you want me to prepare some food?”
“No need. I’m not hungry yet. If you’re hungry, go ahead and eat.” Zhao Yu replied casually.
Xu Meng Lan sneaked a glance at Zhao Yu’s muscular chest and quickly turned her head away, but she was wondering why Zhao Yu had not been poisoned.
It had almost been a day, and he had not succumbed. Could he be immune to the toxin?
It seemed probable. After all, Zhao Yu had once taken a dose of a genetic potion.
His physical fitness was much stronger than an average person. It was only natural for him to have a high resistance to poison.
Over the next few days, Zhao Yu stayed in the shelter without going out.
Besides eating and exercising, he also helped with chores and pedaled the manual electricity-generating bicycle.
Xu Meng Lan and Xu Xiu Lan, the two sisters, remained the same as before, but Xu S Luan was nowhere to be seen.
According to the sisters’ arrangement, Xu Su Lan’s schedule was the always exact opposite of Zhao Yu’s.
If it were the original Zhao Yu, he might have complained.
After every meal, he instructed the two sisters to leave a portion for Xu Su Lan.
Another day, after Zhao Yu went back to his room to sleep, Xu Xiu Lan went to find her elder sister.
“Sister, brother-in-law seems to be a little off these few days…”
“Something is wrong!”
Xu Meng Lan was also confused. In the past few days, Zhao Yu had been exceptionally kind to them in a way he had never been before.
He not only refrained from beating and scolding them but sometimes even helped with household chores.
Zhao Yu had not called her into his room to abused her.
This left a void in her heart, as if something was missing.
Xu Meng Lan shook her head, “He might be pretending…”
“An act?!” Xu Xiu Lan was a bit confused, “I feel like my brother-in-law has become a different person, very gentle…”
“Don’t be deceived by his appearance!”
Xu Meng Lan suddenly became alert, “He might indeed be pretending, with the sole intention of luring Su Lan out, and then…”
Xu Xiu Lan snapped back to reality. She had already been violated by her brother-in-law and couldn’t let the same happen to her younger sister.
“Sister, he used to call you into his room every day, but he hasn’t done so these past few days…”
In the past, Zhao Yu’s favorite pastime was to torment her. Why was he so well-behaved now?
“I’ll go in and check…” Xu Meng Lan was about to check on Zhao Yu.
“Sis!” Xu Xiu Lan was a bit worried.
“One can’t catch a wolf without risking their lamb. It’s okay; I’m used to it!” Xu Meng Lan reassured her younger sister, patting her hand and heading towards Zhao Yu’s room.
Knock, knock, knock.
She gently knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Zhao Yu, bare-upper body, stood in the doorway asking, “What’s the matter?”
“Honey, may I come in?”
Xu Meng Lan was conflicted but still asked.
Zhao Yu stepped aside.
Xu Meng Lan quickly entered.
Zhao Yu then closed the room door.
Soon after, Xu Xiu Lan sneakily approached the door, pressing her ear against it to eavesdrop.
“What’s up?” Zhao Yu curiously inquired.
Looking at his sweaty face, “Honey, have you been exercising?” Xu Meng Lan asked.
“Yes!”
“The outside world is dangerous. If I don’t keep training, the next time I go out, I might not return.” Zhao Yu nodded.
Xu Meng Lan was even more bewildered. She had thought that once she entered this room, the savage nature within Zhao Yu.
He would emerge, overpowering her. However, contrary to her expectations, Zhao Yu remained polite.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, Xu Meng Lan tried to continue their conversation, “Honey, are your wounds healed?”
“Mostly healed.”
The healing capabilities of this body were truly remarkable, demonstrating the potency of the gene potion.
Yet Xu Meng Lan’s gaze inadvertently drifted to Zhao Yu’s groin area.
Could it be that he got injured there while hunting outside?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be a blessing in disguise?
With that thought, everything seemed to make sense to Xu Meng Lan.
Only if Zhao Yu had lost his capabilities explained why he had not approached her these past few days. Not just for whipping, even their normal intimate life had ceased.
Moreover, he had shown a keen interest in Xiu Lan before, but ever since he returned from outside, he appeared disinterested.
What a great news!
Joy bubbled inside Xu Meng Lan, but she kept her expression neutral, “Honey, is there anything you want me to do?”
Zhao Yu shook his head, “No…”
In the following days, whether it was a misperception or not, Zhao Yu felt that both Xu Meng Lan and Xu Xiu Lan seemed treated him a bit nicer than before..
