Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 604 - 593: The Otaku Gets "Stripped" (Part 1)

"Bang bang!" Unconsciously swallowing, Wang Qiang felt his heart pounding wildly: "You're going to my room?"

"Yeah! Don't want me to?" As if it were a matter of course, Yang Xue's eyes fluttered for a moment. A few seconds later, she seemed to realize something, frowned slightly, tapped Wang Qiang's forehead with her finger, and feigned anger: "Eww~ what are you thinking? Such impure thoughts!"

Wang Qiang was speechless at Yang Xue's words. What does she mean by saying my thoughts are impure?

Clearly, it was your actions and words just now that were too flippant. Weren't you implying something to me? Though I am a homebody, I'm not stupid. I'm a progressive young man.

Though I've never had real experience, through systematic research on island love action movies, I can discern your intent.

Convinced of his interpretation of Yang Xue's words, Wang Qiang dared not express it and continued with a cautious tone: "Ugh~ what do you take me for? I just wanted to confirm since there's really nothing fun in my room."

"Hmph, you don't dare let me see it, there must be some unspeakable secret!"

"How could that be, you go look, go ahead, there's absolutely nothing unspeakable there!"

"Haha, alright then, what are we waiting for, let's go!" Having said that, Yang Xue unabashedly pulled Wang Qiang by the arm and walked forward.

It wasn't until now that Wang Qiang realized he had fallen into her trap. In the past, he would have already yelled by now.

But now, faced with the enigmatic Yang Xue, he could only sigh and admit defeat.

The two weren't far from Wang Qiang's room, and it was only a few steps before they were in front of the door.

Seeing Wang Qiang not making any move to open the door, Yang Xue curiously leaned in and said, "Hey, what are you thinking about? Open the door!"

It wasn't that Wang Qiang didn't want to open the door; he just felt his head swell at the thought of the pile of dirty clothes and smelly socks inside being exposed to the woman beside him.

However, for the sake of face, Wang Qiang cleared his throat and pretended to be calm: "Uh, Xiao Yang, my room is a bit messy, why don't you wait outside for two minutes, let me tidy up a bit, okay?"

"Messy is messy, it's fine, open it up!"

Yang Xue's nonchalant expression left Wang Qiang feeling even more helpless: "No, really, just wait a moment, okay?"

Despite his pleading tone, it had no effect. Yang Xue seemed immune to it as she suddenly pressed up against Wang Qiang, grinned evilly and said: "You don't dare let me in, seems like you really have something impure to hide! Hmph!"

At this moment, Wang Qiang didn't dare breathe. The proximity made him acutely aware of her breath and the refreshing scent emanating from her.

Wang Qiang had an impulse, really wanting to lean in because those fiery red lips were about to break his fragile defenses.

Temptation, it was sheer temptation.

"No, I need to control myself, I'm a real man, how can I have such sordid thoughts!" The other self in his heart constantly reminded Wang Qiang of his moral bottom line.

"Hmph! Not saying anything means you admit it, fine, if you won't show me, then whatever, it's not like it's anything special." Seeing Wang Qiang's lack of response for a long time, Yang Xue said and turned to leave.

Those words immediately snapped Wang Qiang out of his conflicting mindset, and he quickly grabbed her: "I'll open, I'll open, okay?"

"OK, that's more like it, hehe!"

What the heck! Is this woman transformed by Sun Wukong or something? How can her attitude change so quickly?

As Wang Qiang marveled at her speed of changing face, he also worried inside about how his messy room was about to be seen by her. It seems his reputation in this life is about to end here.

"Click!" As the key gently turned, the wooden door opened.

Wang Qiang helplessly reminded Yang Xue once again to be mentally prepared: "Um, Yang Xue, it's really messy inside, I think maybe we should still..."

"Oh come on, I've said I don't mind, what's there to make a big fuss about? You're really acting like a woman."

With that, Yang Xue stepped into the room. Who would've thought that as soon as she said she didn't mind, upon entering, she immediately covered her nose and yelled: "Oh my god, how many days have your socks gone unwashed? It really stinks."

In response, Wang Qiang took a strong whiff of the air, nonchalantly saying: "Stinks, I don't smell anything!"

"Sigh~ you've really defeated me."

Pinching her nose, struggling against the feeling of suffocation, Yang Xue hurriedly ran to the window, opened the tightly closed window, stuck her head outside, and took a few deep breaths.

"I can't..." The words he was about to say got swallowed back. He was planning to remind Yang Xue that opening the window was dangerous.

But upon thinking it over, if he insists on not letting her open the window, then the smell in his room... Sigh, oh well, compared to his lifelong reputation, it's better to let it be.

Besides, by now, the criminals should be on the run.

"Now I finally know what you meant by messy!"

After a few more exaggerated breaths of fresh air, Yang Xue turned around and surveyed the dirty clothes scattered around the room and the garbage casually thrown about: "How do you live in an environment like this? My admiration for you is immense!"

To which Wang Qiang could only 'proudly' nod in response to such "praise": "Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, I'm used to it!"

"Sigh~ your girlfriend hasn't groomed you well!"

"What girlfriend, I don't even have a girlfriend yet!"

"Ah! No way, you don't have a girlfriend yet? Really! How old are you?"

"23!" Wang Qiang really did not want to reveal his real age because he knew well that being single at his age was somewhat embarrassing.

Sure enough, Yang Xue's reaction to his answer was quite dramatic:

"Oh my goodness! 23 and still single! Aren't your parents worried? Haha, you aren't... you know, are you?"

Oh come on, what do you mean, you know? You're the you know, your whole family is the you know!

Wang Qiang almost blew up immediately, but when he faced Yang Xue's bright eyes, he instantly deflated like a punctured ball: "Not really, it's just that there's no suitable person around! As for my parents, you know some things happen only if they're meant to be, even if they're anxious, it's of no use!"

"Haha, just teasing you, I know you're not, it's a pity though, such a nice guy like you."

These words did hit quite close to Wang Qiang's appetite, and he finally revealed a slightly smug smile.

"Alright then! If that's the case!" Yang Xue rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let me show you what having a woman around feels like!"

Yang Xue playfully winked at Wang Qiang, her charming demeanor almost made him faint. By the time he regained his composure, she had already started working.

"Wow! Xiao Yang, what are you doing, how can I let you do this kind of work!"

Without turning her head, Yang Xue was picking up the trash Wang Qiang left behind: "Alright, alright, no need to be polite with me. I can't stand others' dirty rooms. Today you got lucky, I'll clean up for you, so you can know the benefits of having a woman around. Hehe!"

"Ah, this... is really embarrassing!" Seeing that he couldn't resist, Wang Qiang could only step up and help out.

Yet, unexpectedly, Yang Xue pushed him aside with her hands on her hips: "Alright! Just stand aside like a good boy, if you do it, it'll be even messier!"

His good intentions were doused like cold water by her, leaving Wang Qiang to obediently stand aside and watch Yang Xue clean up his pigsty.

At the same time, an inexplicable throbbing began to sprout in Wang Qiang's heart. (To be continued. If you like this story, please vote for it with recommendation tickets or monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
