Ren Anhua’s Lost Feeling

Dragged and pulled along, Ren Anhua was taken into a small dark room by Chen Yi.

Well, to be exact, Chen Yi had just brought her to her own residence.

At first, Ren Anhua thought this girl had simply rushed out recklessly to feed the dog, but she hadn’t expected her to be prepared.

Clearly, the escape route had already been planned. Without hesitation, Chen Yi darted into a narrow alley, stacked a few wooden boxes, and leapt onto a plank that bridged to the top of a wall. Once Ren Anhua followed and jumped up, Chen Yi quickly kicked over the stacked boxes.

The zombies roared beneath the wall, but they didn’t have the intelligence to restack the boxes. Standing on the suspended passageways that connected the houses, Chen Yi finally brought Ren Anhua to a safe place.

“Come on, my dad will bring people to handle these guys later, no need to worry.”

Chen Yi pulled Ren Anhua down from the wall. What came into view was a small courtyard, inside it a two-story concrete house.

Ren Anhua had heard of this place, Liyfeng County. It seemed to be a town developed from the countryside, with such simple and rough design that carried a kind of unrestrained village atmosphere. Ren Anhua recalled the look of the Youth Palace—it didn’t seem too different from here: a small courtyard with a house.

Only, the Youth Palace’s building had been the tallest in the neighborhood, rising to five stories. The surrounding homes were generally one or two stories, and their architectural style gave off the impression of self-built rural houses.

But in the apocalypse, such houses counted as good places: both a relatively safe open outdoor space and a hidden indoor environment. The somewhat dense arrangement of buildings, which before the apocalypse would have been considered an eyesore, now provided convenient and safe passageways—the planks laid across the walls.

Those powerful figures who had once planned to demolish this place before the apocalypse would probably be envious of this living environment now.

“Our resource collection teams are all led by my dad, so everyone usually stays pretty close. That’s why we live together too. Of course, sister Liu Shi shouldn’t be at home right now, she and my dad are usually busy with a lot of things. Normally, if there’s no outside task, it’s just me and Tang Yunxuan staying home.”

Chen Yi, who had just brought home a super cute little loli, was now rather excited.

“Oh, right, there’s also someone you don’t know. A powered person named Shen Dinghui also lives here.”

Shen Dinghui. Ren Anhua naturally remembered.

She still recalled Liu Shi’s words: “That person’s a lolicon. You’ll have to pay a price.”

So, what was the price, Liu Shi?

To think such a dangerous person lived here—it made Ren Anhua nervous. Right then she even felt like leaving. She hadn’t expected Chen Yi’s enthusiasm to push her into danger.

“Little sister-in-law!”

A shadow rushed out from inside the house and pounced on Chen Yi at astonishing speed.

“You’re as beautiful as ever today!”

“Stop messing around, Dinghui. We have a guest.” From Chen Yi’s attitude, this clearly wasn’t the first time this had happened.

But… Dinghui? Was that person Shen Dinghui?

Ren Anhua looked at the girl clinging to Chen Yi. She seemed about the same age as Chen Yi. That term “little sister-in-law” must have been some kind of intimate nickname.

So this was the so-called lolicon Shen Dinghui Liu Shi had mentioned?

Ren Anhua had thought it would be some sleazy middle-aged man, an image she couldn’t get rid of from her mind.

But this youthful girl? A lolicon?

Ren Anhua felt cheated.

Yet what happened next proved Liu Shi hadn’t lied.

“Wow, what’s this adorable creature! Where did you find her?”

Shen Dinghui suddenly hugged Ren Anhua, cradling her like a kitten, laying her across her lap. Sitting down on the sofa, she began stroking Ren Anhua’s hair.

Pink hair, pink eyes, pale skin, beautiful face, petite build, with a mature curve.

Like a character stepped straight out of an anime, a loli body type that shouldn’t exist in the real world.

Shen Dinghui felt she had discovered a treasure of the world, her attention completely absorbed by those unique cross-shaped pupils.

“Come on, say something about stockings for me.”

“What kind of demand is that!”

Ren Anhua struggled free from Shen Dinghui’s embrace. Though the thighs of a youthful beauty were tempting, she couldn’t shake the feeling she hadn’t gained anything from the contact.

Seriously, why did all these people love to grope so much? Didn’t they know to be more reserved around strangers?

“Uh… Xiao An, sorry about that. She’s always like this.”

Chen Yi quickly held back Shen Dinghui, looking embarrassed.

“No need to apologize, just don’t pick me up like that, alright? I don’t like it.”

For a certain troublesome reason, Ren Anhua had to keep her anti-gravity field active lately. If someone held her so casually, wouldn’t that risk exposing her secret?

If people started asking, explaining the anti-gravity field itself would be fine. But if they asked why it was always on, what was she supposed to say? That she couldn’t stand up anymore? Then they’d ask, “Xiao An, why can’t you stand?” Could she ever explain that? Absolutely not.

So better not let it even get started.

“I’ll go check out your living conditions here.”

Taking advantage of Chen Yi holding Shen Dinghui back, Ren Anhua wandered upstairs.

Watching the pretty pink-haired loli leave her sight, Shen Dinghui regretfully scratched her hands.

“Chen Yi, what’s her name? You haven’t introduced me yet.”

“You didn’t give me the chance. She’s Ren Xiao’an, just joined the Mutual Aid Association today. She’s pretty cute, but…”

Chen Yi lowered her voice, as if afraid of being overheard.

“My dad just told me not to get too close to her. But when I asked why, he wouldn’t explain.”

“Uncle Chen’s usually a good person. He wouldn’t say something like that without reason.”

Shen Dinghui herself was puzzled. Through that brief contact just now, she’d noticed something off about the pink-haired girl’s figure. The curves were too perfect. Normal development wouldn’t create a body like that.

From her years of experience, a true loli absolutely wouldn’t have curves like that. Pink hair could be explained as dye, but pink eyes?

With cross-shaped pupils? No normal human could look like that. Of course, in this age, supernatural powers could explain almost anything unreasonable. But she felt not the slightest energy fluctuation from this pink-haired girl.

This girl seemed to be a secret from inside out.

And her body had been so light, Shen Dinghui felt like she’d been holding a cat.

“I don’t know either, and my dad just won’t explain.”

“I think you’re worrying too much. Xiao An’s so cute, she can’t be a bad person. At worst, it’s not like she could actually be that gangster leader Ren Anhua.”

At the mention of Ren Anhua, both of them fell silent.

The Mutual Aid Association had always lived in the shadow of the survivor camp. Because of those bastards, many from the Mutual Aid Association had died—the old director among them.

And what that group had done wasn’t just simple killing.

Ren Anhua didn’t know about the silence of the two girls downstairs. She was currently doing something that made her quite nostalgic—watching adult videos.

She was quietly standing behind Tang Yunxuan, her soft-soled dance shoes making no sound at all. The high school boy hadn’t noticed her presence in the slightest. He was sitting with a tablet in his hands, watching all sorts of videos of teachers demonstrating positions.

What was the difference between men and women watching adult videos?

That question was hard to answer, because the issue wasn’t men or women, but the difference itself.

At first, Ren Anhua didn’t think there was much difference. She felt a little reaction starting.

But it was different from before. Now her lower abdomen felt warm in a strange way. The familiar swelling wasn’t there. She reached her hand down—but found nothing.

The pink-haired girl stood there with a sense of loss, watching the ordinary high school boy in front of her grow increasingly excited, and she felt a little unbalanced inside.

“You think this is good?”

“Holy—!”

Tang Yunxuan nearly jumped out of his skin.

“Why so shocked? It’s not like I haven’t watched before. Keep it playing.”

Ren Anhua tapped open the folder Tang Yunxuan had reflexively closed, scrolling through the videos.

“Ren… it’s you, Ren-ge. Scared me to death. How did you get in here?”

“Through the window.”

Tang Yunxuan glanced at the wide-open window. To avoid weird smells inside, he usually left it open in situations like this. The window faced an empty space, no one lived nearby, and zombies didn’t peek through windows, so he wasn’t worried about privacy.

But how had this pink-haired girl gotten in? This was the second floor.

Of course, Ren Anhua had floated in with her anti-gravity field. When she reached the second floor, she had caught the faint sound of suppressed moaning. It was a familiar sound, and with her experience she quickly recognized who it belonged to.

Teacher Ju!

So she’d followed the sound to a tightly shut door. The door had been closed, but it wasn’t the only way into the room. With her floating ability, Ren Anhua easily found another path.

But naturally, she didn’t plan on answering Tang Yunxuan’s deeper doubts. She flipped through the videos, searching fruitlessly for that nostalgic feeling she missed.

The room’s atmosphere quickly turned strange. A pink-haired loli holding a tablet, watching adult clips nonstop, while the serious male high school student had gone quiet. In his mind, Ren Anhua was a guy, sure—but showing up in this form made him too embarrassed to… continue.

“Ren-bro, um… was there something you needed me for?”

Tang Yunxuan zipped up awkwardly, asking.

“Nothing in particular. Just bored, bird-watching and sun-gazing.”

Ren Anhua slid the screen, fast-forwarding.

“You’re not watching anymore? Oh hey, you’ve got this one too. Nice taste. This part with Takahashi, I really like it. The expressions are on point. Highly recommend this one.”

She held the screen toward Tang Yunxuan like a shop clerk making recommendations.

Seeing him so flustered gave her immense satisfaction. A moment ago she’d been upset at her own lack of reaction, but now watching Tang Yunxuan frustrated at being unable to move, she didn’t feel so bad.

Tang Yunxuan looked from the screen to Ren Anhua’s small face. He thought, if Ren Anhua were a real girl, today might have been the peak of his life.

Her sparkling cross-shaped pupils bore down on him, and he couldn’t handle it. He lowered his head to avoid her earnest gaze.

But what filled his vision were her irresistibly attractive legs, making it impossible to look away.

Those legs… incredible.

The boy tugged his loose jacket lower, blushing like a shy little girl.
