Chapter 102 Direct Confession
Watching Zhao Yuting walk straight into Liu Yang's room, He Yushi and the others downstairs stared with wide eyes.
He Yushi said in utter disbelief, "What's going on? Yuting really just walked right in? What was she even doing this past month?"
Zhao Lina added, "Right? She came to our villa area shortly after the apocalypse broke out. I never expected she could hold out this long before finally entering Liu Yang's room! I thought she'd never go find him!"
Wang Siqi asked, "What's the story here? I arrived later, so I don't know what happened before. Has Yuting really never been to Liu Yang's room?"
Su Xiao replied, "She really hasn't. But since she got to eat with us as soon as she arrived, didn't she already do something with Liu Yang somewhere else before coming here?"
Chen Dan chimed in, "Who knows! Maybe she really just went up to chat with him?"
The women exclaimed in unison, "Yeah right! Ghost would believe that!"
...
Inside the room.
Zhao Yuting's delicate face was flushed crimson.
Standing before Liu Yang, she appeared somewhat fidgety and ill at ease.
Her heart pounded with a mix of nervousness and shyness.
Liu Yang found her expression rather baffling.
He had never forced Zhao Yuting to come to his room.
Why had she delivered herself to his door out of nowhere?
And why was she standing there blushing as if he were forcing her into something against her will?
Liu Yang said, "Yuting, you don't need to force yourself to come to me. I treat all of you fairly. Even if we aren't intimate, I still view you the same way I view Yushi and Lina..."
Zhao Yuting bit her lip, her blush deepening as she blurted out, "No... that's not true! You don't treat me fairly at all!"
"Huh?" Liu Yang was stunned.
Ever since Zhao Yuting moved into the villa, he hadn't mistreated her in the slightest.
Why did she sound so full of resentment right now?
Had he done something wrong?
Liu Yang tilted his head, pondering for a good while, but he couldn't figure out how he had supposedly targeted her.
He asked, "I don't think so. I've never targeted you. Is my attitude toward you any different from how I treat the other girls in the villa?"
Zhao Yuting stammered shyly, "It is! It definitely is!"
Even more bewildered, Liu Yang asked directly, "Then tell me, how exactly have I targeted you?"
Flushed red to her ears, Zhao Yuting declared, "You always hint for the other girls to come to your room, but you've never hinted to me even once! Isn't that targeting me? Is it because I'm not pretty enough for your taste, or because my figure isn't good enough to spark your desire?"
"Ah..." Liu Yang was rendered completely speechless.
Just because he hadn't dropped hints to her, she thought he was targeting her?
He had refrained only because Zhao Yuting had helped him in a previous deduction, so he didn't want to coerce her.
Who could have guessed that she would interpret his consideration as deliberate exclusion?
Liu Yang explained, "Yuting, you're very beautiful, and your figure is fantastic. Honestly, your long legs are the prettiest among all the girls here, so it has nothing to do with your looks.
I just didn't want to force you into anything. You're no different from the other girls, so you don't need to feel pressured or worry about what they think."
Zhao Yuting looked at him with sheer exasperation.
Damn it, why was this guy so dense!
After everything she said, how could he still miss the point?!
Unable to hold back any longer, Zhao Yuting burst out, "What coercion? Do you think you're punishing or forcing them? You're rewarding them!
All the girls ever talk about in the villa is what happens when they go into your room!
What about me? I have nothing to contribute and can't even join the conversation! I'm the only one who has never experienced it!
And then there's He Yushi, constantly complaining about how scary it is, saying she still gets chills thinking about going upstairs twice.
She says that with her mouth, but her face is bursting with happiness and pride! She's clearly bragging, yet she pretends it's terrifying!
It drives me crazy listening to her!
Why has she gone twice already while I haven't even gone once?
I want to experience that scary feeling too! I want rewards! Hurry up and reward me!"
Liu Yang stood completely frozen under Zhao Yuting's rapid-fire outburst.
He had never imagined that the women viewed him this way.
He had assumed they were participating unwillingly, yielding only out of necessity for food and shelter in a safe villa.
Who would have thought their true feelings were quite the opposite?
"Not coercion... but a reward?"
Zhao Yuting nodded adamantly, "Exactly! You're so handsome, so strong, and so powerful-what girl wouldn't like you? How is that anything but a reward?! I like you too! So hurry up and give me my reward!"
Facing Zhao Yuting's sudden and passionate confession, Liu Yang was even more stunned.
In his memory, Zhao Yuting was an introverted, almost socially anxious woman.
She was usually quiet in the villa and rarely spoke up.
It was clear now that she had been bottling this up for far too long. For such a fiery confession to come from her lips was truly extraordinary.
And the only reason she had been quiet was simply because she had no common topics to share with the other women?
Well, that was certainly a oversight on his part.
A woman's mind truly was hard to fathom.
He had thought that refraining from hinting was a form of respect and special consideration.
Instead, his actions had made her feel targeted and isolated, leaving her glum for weeks.
In that case...
Since Zhao Yuting had poured her heart out so passionately, Liu Yang decided to open up to her, engage in a deep and intimate exchange, and thoroughly understand her innermost desires!
...
Before long, the two began their intimate exchange.
Downstairs.
He Yushi and the others resumed their discussion.
"Wow, so that's how Yuting 'chats'? Believe a ghost! Didn't she say she was just going up to talk?"
Zhao Lina giggled, "Talk? Once you go into Liu Yang's room, how could it be just talking? Just listen to how loud Yuting is being!"
Zhou Keke smiled, "That sounds like a lively conversation indeed!"
Wang Siqi sighed, "Ah, I want to go up and 'chat' too! Too bad I have to wait at least nine more months before I can!"
Wang Feifei agreed, "Yeah, it's such a pity..."
Chen Xiaojin and Huang Xiuxia exchanged a glance, remaining silent.
One was a doctor and the other a nurse.
Over the past few days, listening to the women's chatter and hearing the sounds from upstairs, they too felt a sense of longing.
However, given their functional roles in the villa, they knew Liu Yang wouldn't summon them for now.
Sometimes they secretly wished they weren't medical staff.
Then they could experience Liu Yang's overwhelming power for themselves!
What a shame, what a shame...
Who knew how long they would have to wait!
