Chapter 11 The Taciturn man

 Shao Qing followed the man from behind, carefully sizing him up. His waist had a scar around 20cm long. Splitting the area near the spinal column on his back was another scar. From one look, it was clear that this was an old scar. A horizontal one across his spinal column, there was also one on his nape that wasn't too obvious. It seemed to be caused by a bullet directly penetrating his nape. His body really did have a lot of wounds. If these wounds were on an average person's body, they would've already had hemiplegia or lost their lives, yet here he was still in good condition and living.

Struggling with life or death situations for so many years, Shao Qing didn't want to admit, but the scars on her body were also more than most men.

That was how her curiosity was slowly evoked. As they both stepped into the house at the same time, the moment the man placed the sofa down, Shao Qing lightly patted his shoulder. Immediately after, Shao Qing was able to see that man's shoulder muscles tensed up and with force he shot his shoulder backwards.

The force his shoulders carried could have probably directly broken a person's bone. Moreover, the direction it was heading towards was Shao Qing's rib. If that bone was to break it would directly rupture the lungs inside.

Shao Qing's reaction was quick. Holding the man's shoulders, following his arms, she lightly pressed down on his shoulders. Because of the change to her body, with Shao Qing's superhuman strength, it should be easy to stop his movements. Yet, she still felt her hand going numb.

Realizing what he was doing, the man proficiently crouched down and held his head. Not at all sleek and smooth but definitely powerful. His waist became taut as if he was bracing himself for something. From Shao Qing's perspective, the trousers covering the border of his waist was extremely appealing and sexy.

Even the scars, simply enhanced its seductiveness.

If it were not the apocalypse, this would definitely be a man that many women would like.

It's a pity that it was the apocalypse. Even if the man was handsome and strong, in most women's eyes, they still cannot be compared to superhumans.

The taciturn man was still holding his head, waiting for the fist and feet to attack his body. But what arrived was just a somewhat pale hand, holding a cracker within its palm. "Could you help me place the bathtub inside?"

The man silently glanced at Shao Qing, nodded his head, and lifted the tub up to bring it inside. Actually with a bathtub in the apocalypse, there really wasn't too much use for it. After all, most of the water sources have been contaminated by the zombies so drinking it will most likely lead to a misfortune, let alone taking a bath.

After arranging the tub in place, the man silently stood to the side. He used his glances to ask Shao Qing if there was anything else she needed help with.

"Could you help me move the sofa so it's facing that direction?" Shao Qing softly asked. When the man bent forward to move the sofa, Shao Qing gently placed her palm on his lower back.

Even though once again the man tensed up his muscles, this time, he didn't attack. Rather, he forcefully restrained himself.

Feeling the muscles underneath her palm containing such force from tensing up, Shao Qing quickly took back her hand. But she unconsciously noticed that the man's earlobe had turned red.

At the beginning Shao Qing had thought that he was tired, but now she discovered that although his usual expression hasn't changed, within his eyes a little bashfulness can be seen.

She has never seen such an easily embarrassed mature man. He is such a tall big man too, but unexpectedly he contrasted from his demeanour.

"This time, I really have to thank you" Shao Qing smiled. "If I ever need anymore help in the future, I'll definitely come find you." After, Shao Qing once again saw this man's earlobe turn red.
