Chapter 32: Mockery
And she, too, would become a meal for the zombies, torn apart just like the others. However, at that moment, the frantic knocking at the door abruptly stopped...
Tang Jingyan wiped her tears and stood up in surprise, curiously stepping forward to peer through the hole in the iron door to see what had happened outside. Through the breach, she saw that the two zombies that had been furiously attacking the door had vanished, along with all the other ordinary zombies. There was only a figure with a knife standing outside.
"Open the door," a man's voice commanded from outside. The figure and the voice were familiar to her; she recognized them as the young man who had previously rescued Lin Mancha.
Tang Jingyan hurriedly pushed the exercise equipment aside and opened the iron door to welcome Alex in. As Alex entered, he looked around and asked, "Are you the only one left?" Tang Jingyan nodded, her heart somewhat numb from seeing those around her die one after another: "Another girl went mad and fell to her death from the building."
After a pause, Tang Jingyan asked nervously, "Thank you for saving me! Did you come specifically to rescue me? How is Mancha doing with you?"
Alex glanced at the relieved yet self-assured yoga goddess, Tang Jingyan. Her beauty, with delicate features, fair and tender skin, and swaying ponytail, exuded an indescribable goddess-like quality, combined with a graceful figure and an air of elegance.
Looking at the goddess before him, Alex couldn't help feeling somewhat inferior.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't come specifically to rescue you. I just wanted the bodies of those zombies just now."
"As for whether or not to save you, that depends on your decision."

While feeling somewhat inferior, Alex had no intention of lowering his head.
Tang Jingyan was momentarily taken aback, and she tightly bit her tender lips. "I know you're a good person. Can you save me and take me to your refuge?"
Giving herself the "good person card" now?
Alex chuckled.
Typically, when goddesses wanted to use a loser, they would first send them a "good person card." Then, they would offer some sweet promises and a glimmer of hope. The loser who tasted the sweetness would be like a dog that had just found delicious food, gradually falling under the goddess's charm and becoming a loyal admirer.
The loser would be used by the goddess repeatedly, hurt by her repeatedly, and when the loser wanted to give up, the goddess would give them a ray of hope again, allowing the loser to taste sweetness once more, continuing to serve as the goddess's loyal admirer, giving everything for her.
In the end, the lucky admirer would become a father, while the unlucky one would be battered and left with nothing.
Indeed, Tang Jingyan continued, "Your name is Alex, right? I know you. Your roommate used to come watch my performances often, and we became friends. He often mentioned you to me."
With a blush on her face, Tang Jingyan continued somewhat shyly, "Actually, I noticed you a long time ago. You're quite outstanding, to be honest..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Alex coldly smiled inwardly, then gave a faint smile and asked, "Oh, really? When did you notice me? Do you remember what my roommate's name was back then? What did you find outstanding about me at the time?"
If someone were to say that he was outstanding now, Alex would agree. But if someone claimed he was outstanding before the apocalypse, even he wouldn't believe it.
Of course, Alex was even more skeptical. How could a renowned yoga goddess notice an utterly ordinary loser like him?
The rich and handsome guys pursuing Tang Jingyan could at least run a lap around the playground.
Tang Jingyan was slightly stunned and silently sighed in her heart, wondering why this guy had to turn the conversation so intense right away. Wasn't he just chatting? He seemed like a complete social idiot, didn't he?
She had only said a few polite words out of habit.
After a moment, Tang Jingyan couldn't come up with an answer to Alex's question. She hesitated and said, "I got really scared just now, and I couldn't... I couldn't remember his name all of a sudden. But I did notice you; you're a kind and simple guy. I know you'll help me. I know you also like me.
If you can win me over, there's still a possibility for us to become boyfriend and girlfriend, especially in this post-apocalyptic world where we can rely on each other."
"Sorry, there might be a misunderstanding between us. I'm not kind at all, and I don't want you to be my girlfriend," Alex said indifferently.
He understood Tang Jingyan's intentions very well. She wanted to please him, control him emotionally, and turn him into her admirer. She saw herself as just another admirer like the other guys pursuing her.
She was clever. In this post-apocalyptic world, the only way for women to control men was to play the emotional card.
However, Alex was sorry to say that he didn't need Tang Jingyan's emotions.
To Alex, women were just tools for relaxation.
"Well, forced love doesn't taste sweet, does it? If you can make the other person fall in love with you, that's when you can be truly happy and feel the excitement, right? You know, I had many guys chasing after me before. What I need is a boyfriend who can treat me well, pamper me, love me, and protect me," Tang Jingyan said seriously.
"Indeed, forced love doesn't taste sweet, but I have no intention of forcing anything. As for how many guys are chasing after you, that's not my concern," Alex continued to push the conversation to the extreme, "What kind of boyfriend you want, you don't have to tell me because it's not my business. I have absolutely no interest in being your boyfriend."
Tang Jingyan had never encountered such an unyielding straight man.
