Zhang Yi went on a long trip again.

He has been missing recently and only comes back every few days. Zhou Ke'er is the only one left in the huge shelter to look after Deng Shentong.

Although Deng Shentong had attacked her before, she did not dare to complain and did her job conscientiously.

After all, her mission is to take care of Deng Shentong. Zhang Yi holds the power of life and death over her, and Zhou Keer dare not disobey.

But what happened last time did serve as a reminder for her that she must never be fooled by this man’s handsome appearance again!

This guy is indeed very handsome, but his heart is as sinister, cunning and cruel as a poisonous snake.

Beneath that seemingly weak disguise, there are endless dangers and conspiracies.

Zhou Keer learned from the last lesson and injected him with muscle relaxants without fail, making him unable to resist.

Then, she found a stronger chain and tied him tightly in the room. As long as Deng Shentong had not recovered his superpowers, he would definitely not be able to escape.

As a result, Zhou Keer breathed a sigh of relief and felt that she had finally gained some initiative.

However, she knew in her heart that the battle was far from over.

Deng Shentong is definitely not a person who will submit to fate. Maybe he is planning some other plan to escape, but Zhou Keer will never let him succeed.

Deng Shentong's escape once was an accident, but if he ran away again, she couldn't think of how to explain it to Zhang Yi.

Although she had previously felt deep sympathy for Deng Shentong's miserable situation, before she felt sorry for others, she knew that protecting her own safety was of vital importance.

She pushed open the door of Deng Shentong's room with ease and brought the carefully prepared meal to him.

At this moment, after hearing the sound of the door opening, the silver-haired man's eyes, which had been calm before, suddenly rippled a little, and then he began to look at Zhou Ke'er carefully.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a captivating smile: "Miss Zhou, you have worked so hard."

His extremely handsome face and magnetic and gentle voice seemed to exude a kind of bewitching magic, enough to make countless women in the world crazy about him.

However, Zhou Ke'er had already developed immunity to this. She quickly turned her head away, deliberately avoiding his sight.

Whenever Zhou Ke'er saw Deng Shentong's beautiful and enchanting smile, she felt a dull pain in the back of her head.

She could be described as a very smart woman, but she still fell into the hands of this man who was good at disguising himself.

No matter how beautiful a rose is, if it is covered with sharp thorns, it may cause stabbing and bleeding if touched, which will make people afraid and stay away from it.

Zhou Ke'er looked calm and put the food on the table in a businesslike manner. She did not intend to continue Deng Shentong's conversation so as not to reveal any flaws.

Deng Shentong seemed a little disappointed when he saw her. His delicate eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes showed a bit of fragility: "I had no choice but to do what happened last time, but I still want to apologize to you."

Zhou Keer stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, shook her hair, and said calmly: "It's okay, this is my job, you just need to stay here honestly, that's all."

Deng Shentong saw that Zhou Keer didn't buy it. After a moment's pause, he didn't get angry and smiled softly: "You're joking."

He sat up slowly, stretched his body which had become stiff from lying down for so long, then picked up the spoon and began to enjoy the exquisite meal.

Seeing Zhou Ke'er standing calmly aside waiting for the table to be cleared, Deng Shentong looked at the food on the table, a barely perceptible cunning flashing in his eyes.

While eating, Deng Shentong suddenly stopped. He licked the remaining soup at the corner of his mouth like a noble cat, and then said casually: "Miss Zhou, can we cooperate?"

Zhou Ke'er didn't know what tricks he was going to play, and said expressionlessly: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Look, didn't Zhang Yi leave you here just to let you monitor me?"

Deng Shentong smiled faintly, "As his former girlfriend, you must feel very uncomfortable to take care of another man for him, right?"

Zhou Ke'er frowned. She didn't know how Deng Shentong knew about her relationship with Zhang Yi, but he was right. At first, she felt really uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter. This is my job."

Zhou Keer didn't fall for his trick. "As long as you cooperate with my work and don't run away, it will be the best cooperation with me."

Deng Shentong's slender fingers tapped on the table intermittently, as if he was playing a disturbing piece of music.

"You know, I have no feelings for him, and it's not my intention to stay here.

"If you tell my subordinates about this, they will come to rescue me."

"Even if I run away, you can always put the blame on me. This way, I can be free and you can continue to be by his side."

The silver-haired man smiled, his eyes as clear as moonlight, yet he seemed unfathomable: "Don't you want to do such a win-win deal, Miss Zhou?"

Zhou Ke'er glanced at him indifferently, knowing that this man had completely given up on hiding his true colors and was simply negotiating openly.

She curled her lips: "Sorry, I'm not really interested."

Deng Shentong stood up, walked to Zhou Keer, and looked directly into her eyes.

"But you are Zhang Yi's girlfriend, aren't you? Don't you want him to stay with you? He has already submitted his resignation to Blizzard City. As long as I break up with him completely, you can still resume your original life."

"My old life?" Zhou Ke'er was silent for a moment, then looked up at the ceiling, as if she was reminiscing: "It feels like a long time has passed..."

Just when Deng Shentong thought he had convinced her, Zhou Keer tilted her head and showed a sarcastic smile: "Mr. Deng, I admit that you are very smart and the conditions you put forward are very tempting."

"But you seem to have misunderstood something." She shook her head and said jokingly, "Zhang Yi and I are not in that kind of relationship."

Deng Shentong's calm face showed a hint of surprise: "What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid you're the only one who thinks he's an easy person to get along with, Mr. Deng?"

Zhou Keer sneered and continued, "That's right. Zhang Yi always acts tender and affectionate when he is with you, but we are different."

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "He is an absolute killer who treats human life as if it were pigs or dogs. Do you think that if you leave, what good will happen to me?"

Deng Shentong frowned: "No matter how bad it is, you are still his woman. He can't do anything to you."

"Woman?" Zhou Ke'er smiled. "If I hadn't been obedient enough and had medical skills, I wouldn't have been able to survive among so many women begging for mercy."

Deng Shentong raised his eyebrows. Indeed, in the end times, relying on the strong to survive has become the norm, but Zhou Keer has followed Zhang Yi for so long, so it is naturally different.

Zhou Keer sighed: "The token of my loyalty to his family was that I killed several people for him. At that time, the social order had just collapsed."

Then she added sarcastically, "Do you think I was treated better than you? He treated me like a pet, locking me in the house all day and asking me to do all the servant's work for him."

"However, this did buy me a chance to survive, so I won't comment on it anymore."

"We are with him not because of affection, but because we are still useful to him and happen to be obedient."

After saying these words, Zhou Ke'er looked at Deng Shentong's beautiful face and smiled slightly with some sadness: "Now, don't you understand that you are the only special one."

"If it were me, I would have been dead when I first resisted him."
