Chapter 17: I Can Please You, But I Have a Condition
"Ling Xueya! Are you really going to be this selfish?"
Du Zhiming's eyes turned cold. He angrily adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said in a sinister voice, "Our water could have lasted us all for several more days! But you, relying on Chen Kun's protection, secretly used the water we saved by drinking urine to wash your face! I'm telling you, there's not a single drop of water left in our storeroom. If Xiao Yi doesn't give us any water, then you can go out and find water for us!"
"So that's what happened! No wonder. When we first got here, we clearly had several bottles of mineral water left. So it was you, you bitch, who used it to wash your face! Damn it! We've been saving water by drinking urine, and you used it to wash your face!"
A female student beside Ling Xueya viciously slapped her across the face, cursing in fury.
A male student smiled sinisterly. "Since Ling Xueya isn't willing to go and accompany Xiao Yi, the rest of us will only last another two or three days at most. We're dead either way, so why don't we drag Ling Xueya over here, have some fun with her, and get a taste of what the school belle is like before we die!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! I've been sick of this bitch for a long time! She always has such a sour look on her face, acting so high and mighty! Like the whole world is supposed to worship her! Fuck her! This is the apocalypse now. No one's protecting you, you bitch, and you're not even worth as much as a dog! We're all going to die anyway, so let's have some fun before we go!"
Another male student, who was ugly and had a black birthmark by his eye, looked at Ling Xueya greedily and said without restraint, "If I can get a taste of the school belle before I die, then my life won't have been a waste!"
"What are you trying to do?" Ling Xueya retreated two steps in a panic, looking at the ferocious faces of her classmates in terror.
These boys, who used to be her sycophants, calling her "Goddess! Goddess!" every day, as if they were worshipping a saint.
And these girls, they used to be her followers!
The one who had just slapped her used to follow her around and call her "Big Sis"!
Never mind how she had cared for and helped them before the apocalypse. Even after the apocalypse, if it weren't for her protecting these girls, they would have been raped by other guys long ago!
How could these sycophants talk to her like this?!
How could these bitches insult her like this?!
Ling Xueya's face began to contort. "You! You wouldn't dare! If you dare hurt me, when Young Master Chen's uncle sends the army, I'll make sure you all die a horrible death!"
"Die a horrible death? Hahaha! I've known for a while that that bastard Chen Kun was lying to us. If the army was still around, they would have already fought their way to the city hall to rescue people! But have you heard any gunfire? Have you seen any planes? There's nothing!"
Du Zhiming laughed maniacally. "Even if they are coming, we won't live long enough for the army to rescue us! We're giving you two choices now. First, you go and serve Xiao Yi well and get us food and water. Second, you let us have some fun with you, and let everyone get a taste of what the school belle is like before we die!"
Ling Xueya kept backing away, her face growing paler and paler. She glanced back at the unconscious Chen Kun, a flicker of guilt in her eyes, which was then replaced by a burst of hysteria. "Xiao Yi! I'm willing to be with you! But I have one condition! If I'm with you, you must save me and Chen Kun!"
"Hmm? What a loving couple. So touching. Is this some epic love story? Are we filming a movie or something? Heh."
Xiao Yi sneered disdainfully, turning his head to look at Ling Xueya. "But are you trying to negotiate terms with me? Do you think you're in any position to? I'm sorry, but I'm not a sycophant, and I'm not moved at all. I'm just giving you a chance to make a deal. If I'm happy, you get the food and water. If I'm not, the deal is off. There are no other conditions to be discussed."
Ling Xueya's face suddenly flushed red, alternating between anger, shame, and unwillingness.
She glanced back at the ferocious crowd behind her, and finally made up her mind!
With a thud, Ling Xueya knelt before Xiao Yi. "Xiao Yi, I can serve you, but... can you not let these disgusting things watch?"
Xiao Yi gave a cold smile and looked up at Du Zhiming and the others.
Du Zhiming's eyes lit up. He quickly nodded and bowed obsequiously to Xiao Yi, then turned to the crowd behind him and said, "All of you, turn your heads around. If anyone dares to look, I'll gouge their eyes out! You two girls, go get a cloth and use it to screen off Benefactor Xiao and our school beauty, Ling Xueya!"
With that, Du Zhiming glanced at Chen Kun again. Remembering Xiao Yi's earlier question, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes. He said with a cold smile to a couple of the boys, "You two, tie Chen Kun up. Then, splash some water on his face to wake him up! Let him watch his girlfriend, Ling Xueya, serve Benefactor Xiao! Consider it his chance for redemption!"
