Chapter 227 – Professor, Please Don’t Raise Zombies (17)
Too much.
—He’s being too much! Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮
Yan Che looked at the little one in front of him.
A thousand possibilities had run through his mind, yet no matter how he calculated, he hadn’t expected this outcome.
Seeing Yan Luo puffing her cheeks in dissatisfaction, Yan Che’s expression froze for a moment before he suddenly burst into laughter.
Maybe he had raised a fake zombie.
So after all that worrying, this little one simply refused to go outside because she thought the zombies out there looked too scary?
She was afraid of their appearance? Then how had she hunted and evolved before?
Besides…
Little cutie, aren’t you a zombie too?
As much as he wanted to ask this little girl that question, he had a feeling that if he did, she’d get even more riled up.
Suppressing the curve of his lips, he held back the words. Instead, he patted her hair with a smile. “Be good, you’ll have to get used to it eventually.”
No way, she couldn’t get used to it. She would not get used to it! QAQ
Couldn’t he just let her off the hook?
“Go take a bath first. I’ll find you some clothes.” He patted her little head and pushed her toward the room with the warm water pool.
Reluctantly, she stepped inside.
In front of her was the very same warm water pool where Yan Che had once forced her to bathe. Since it used a circulating water system with heating and filtration, there was no need to worry about any harmful viruses.
The water temperature wasn’t high, but it was just right for steam to rise, filling the air with a hazy white mist.
Yan Luo let out a soft breath, unbuttoned a few buttons, and walked to the pool’s edge.
Dipping her fingers in, she felt the warm water against her skin and curled her lips slightly.
After evolving into a Level 6 zombie, not only had her mental processing become much faster, but her physical senses had also grown sharper.
Refusing to think about what she would have to do later, she focused on rinsing off the dust and grime clinging to her skin.
Then, suddenly—
The door swung open.
Yan Luo, in the middle of splashing water over herself, froze.
Her eyes met Yan Che’s, who had just stepped in and stopped dead in his tracks.
The girl looked small, but she had all the right curves in all the right places. Her well-developed, delicate figure was partially veiled by the mist.
Her long black hair clung to her body like seaweed, forming a stark contrast against her milky-white skin.
At that moment, she was flicking water onto herself. The moment she noticed him, she seemed startled, staring at him in wide-eyed surprise.
In those slightly misted-over eyes, his reflection was clearly visible.
Yan Che’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice. He could feel something was off.
He had bathed her before, plenty of times.
But back then, she had only been a Level 5 zombie. Her skin had been almost human, but those soft, feminine curves had barely existed.
Unlike now.
Just from looking at her, he felt his throat go dry.
For the first time, he had the realization that he had been raising a young girl all along.
Back when she hadn’t evolved, he never had these kinds of thoughts.
“I left your clothes here.” Yan Che took a few steps forward, placed a fresh set of lab clothes on the table, and quickly turned to leave.
Much faster than before.
“Oh my~” Yan Luo propped her chin on her hand, watching the closed door with a smirk.
Even though his face had remained neutral, she had definitely caught that faint tinge of red.
Did he just… blush?
