People who don’t know Deng Shentong, after seeing his cold face and domineering temperament, will subconsciously think that this is a man who is difficult to get along with.

Zhou Keer thought so at first.

But after taking care of Deng Shentong for these few days, she found that he was actually quite easy to talk to, and could even be described as easy-going.

Because she was so bored, she would sometimes chat with Deng Shentong casually. From his words and actions, he was a gentleman with elegant conversation and a sense of humor.

She had to admit that this man was perfect and extremely charming. He was simply the prince charming in the dreams of many naive girls.

How could such a person make Zhang Yi so crazy?

While thinking about it, Zhou Keer brought the prepared breakfast to Deng Shentong.

"Thank you." Deng Shentong thanked politely. He looked no different from usual.

Zhou Ke'er hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Um...can I ask you something?"

Deng Shentong looked up at her, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded.

"What is the relationship between you and Zhang Yi?" Zhou Keer asked courageously.

Deng Shentong's hand holding the spoon paused for a moment, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Miss Zhou, are you so curious about this question?"

"This is a long story, and I don't really want to mention him." Deng Shentong put down the spoon and sighed softly.

Zhou Ke'er was a little disappointed, but she still respected Deng Shentong's wishes. After all, a forced melon is not sweet.

"However, what happened between Zhang Yi and I is not what you imagined." Deng Shentong looked at Zhou Ke'er with cold eyes.

Zhou Keer frowned slightly. She didn't understand what Deng Shentong meant.

"Anyway," Deng Shentong said with a smile, "thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I'm very grateful."

Zhou Ke'er nodded, but her heart was still full of doubts.

She always felt that Deng Shentong was hiding something, and from what he said, it seemed that he and Zhang Yi were not in that kind of relationship.

Things have come to this point. Could it be that Deng Shentong never gave Zhang Yi any hope from the beginning to the end, and was everything just his wishful thinking?

Perhaps, only when Deng Shentong is willing to tell the truth on his own initiative can she truly understand the whole story.

But who is Zhou Ke'er? As a woman who was able to stay with Zhang Yi, she also has a way of manipulating people's hearts.

Judging from Deng Shentong's tone, he wasn't too tight-lipped. As long as he was willing to reveal it, Zhou Ke'er would have the patience to coax him into slowly letting down his guard.

In the following days, she chatted with Deng Shentong more frequently. Occasionally, when he asked about the situation in the outside world, Zhou Ke'er would tell him some irrelevant things.

Gradually, Deng Shentong became familiar with her and began to tell her some interesting stories that he had experienced.

Human nature in the end times is always fragile and lonely. In such an environment, people always develop a sense of dependence on the trustworthy people around them.

Especially since Deng Shentong is in such a depressing environment, he has no place to vent his emotions, so he will definitely look for a breakthrough to express himself.

Zhou Ke'er tried to act as if she was defenseless towards him. The moment she opened the muscle relaxant and put it back into the medical box, she clearly saw gratitude in the man's eyes.

Zhang Yi crushed his dignity, so Zhou Ke'er gave it back to him. For such a proud person, it was like a life-saving straw.

As Deng Shentong's gratitude towards her grows deeper, it will gradually turn into trust.

Zhou Keer's opportunity soon came.

One night, with a scream, Deng Shentong woke up from a nightmare, covered in cold sweat and his heart beating rapidly.

He stared at the dark ceiling with wide eyes. The horrifying scene just now kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

This nightmare made Deng Shentong relive the unbearable past, and made him realize that the trauma deep in his heart had not yet fully healed.

Although his physical injuries have recovered, the shadow of Zhang Yi's brutal assault still lingers on his mind.

With lingering fear, he began to struggle subconsciously, pulling at the iron chain on his ankle without any control, making a clanging sound.

In order to take care of the one who moved next door more easily, Zhou Keer heard the noise and hurried over to check.

"Are you having a nightmare?" Zhou Ke'er asked softly, looking at his pale face.

Deng Shentong nodded silently, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

"It's okay, it's just a dream." Zhou Ke'er comforted him, and she patted Deng Shentong's shoulder gently.

Deng Shentong looked at Zhou Keer, his eyes trembled for a moment, and suddenly he had an urge to talk.

"Actually...the situation between Zhang Yi and I is much more complicated than you think," he said slowly.

Zhou Ke'er was extremely excited, but she remained listening quietly, waiting for Deng Shentong to continue.

"We used to be best friends, but then...some things happened that made us take different paths." Deng Shentong's voice was a little bitter.

Zhou Keer felt the pain deep in his heart. She thought it was time to guide Deng Shentong to tell her everything. "If speaking out will make you feel better, why not tell me everything."

One step away! She was only one step away from the truth!

Deng Shentong took a deep breath, and his voice sounded a little trembling, as if the story behind him was about to overwhelm him: "Miss Zhou, can you go get me a glass of water? I will tell you slowly."

Zhou Ke'er hurriedly stood up and agreed. Now even if Deng Shentong wanted stars or the moon, she would have to try to pick them.

However, the moment she turned around, a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air resounded throughout the space.

Then, a sharp pain hit her from the back of her head, as if she had been hit hard by a hammer. She felt the world in front of her gradually become blurry, and her body began to shake uncontrollably.

Before she completely lost consciousness, her mind was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

She had no idea what had happened, why she was suddenly attacked like this? A look of confusion appeared on her face, and then she slowly fell to the cold, hard ground.

Endless darkness enveloped the surroundings, as if it was going to swallow up everything.

Deng Shentong tightly grasped the heavy iron chain in his hand, his expression had long been replaced by determination and indifference, without any trace of fragility.

His eyes were as cold as the stars, like a high and mighty god who could not be desecrated.

His eyes lightly swept over the unconscious woman lying on the ground, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile full of contempt.

As the effects of the muscle relaxants in his body gradually dissipated, Deng Shentong felt a powerful force surging into his body.

The body that had originally seemed weak and powerless due to the medicine now began to show vitality.

Zhou Ke'er complacently thought that she had completely controlled Deng Shentong, but she had no idea that all of this was actually part of Deng Shentong's plan.

The moonlight, as cool and soft as water, passed through the narrow slit of the window and fell on Deng Shentong's silvery snow-like hair, as if covering his entire body with a layer of mysterious and holy glow.

At this moment, his pair of eyes that were so bright that it made people's heart frightened were hidden in the endless darkness, exuding an aura that was both beautiful and extremely dangerous.

The best hunters often appear dressed as their prey.
