Ye Minzhe had found out a room that was left unlocked. The zombies were hot on their heels, so as soon as all of them entered, they hurriedly locked the door.
Bam!
The heavy weight of the zombies slammed against the door with alarming force, startling a shocked shout out of Song Jia. Ye Minzhe and Gu Yuan started dragging a large cabinet towards the door, pushing it forward and making sure the door stayed shut.
The heavy banging didn't stop until nearly a quarter of an hour passed. When they couldn't hear anything anymore but silence outside, all of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Minzhe grabbed Song Jia's arm. "Stay with him, don't go anywhere yet. I haven't checked the whole room, there might be more of them hiding in here."
"Alright," Song Jia nodded.
She watched as Ye Minzhe tightly gripped the baseball bat and entered the bathroom to check it. Surprisingly, he was very thorough at doing a sweep of their surroundings. He even checked underneath the bed and the closet where a small enough person could hide.
As soon as he was done, Ye Minzhe slid down the wall and sat there, waiting for his heartbeat to slow down. He felt a sense of relief wash over him as he relaxed his hold on his baseball bat.
"It's clear," he told Song Jia, the corners of his lips slightly turned upwards.
Gu Yuan's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed on the floor. "I thought we were going to die."
Song Jia also took in a deep breath, before walking towards the bed and sitting down. She also thought that they were going to die.
"Sorry."
The almost inaudible voice made Song Jia look towards Ye Minzhe. His look of absolute chagrin surprised her. He cleared his throat and crossed his long legs, his hands resting on his lap. He raised his face and solemnly repeated his words again.
"I'm sorry. A man should readily admit his mistakes, I know that. So I'm sorry. That was my fault. I shouldn't have exposed our position to them."
Song Jia was stunned. That arrogant young master actually knew how to apologize for his mistakes?
Ye Minzhe picked up his baseball bat and stood up. He then walked over to Song Jia and handed it to her.
"Our father always said that a true man wouldn't put his comrades in danger. Today, I broke this rule. Ye Jia, as a member of the Ye family, you have the right to punish me."
He knelt in front of her and bowed his head.
"A man should always keep his word. You can beat me as many times as you like."
Song Jia, "..."
Was their father truly a gangster, or was he a knighted warrior? What kind of backward family rule was this?
Song Jia hesitated, then adopted a solemn expression. She raised the baseball bat high in the air. Gu Yuan looked at them nervously.
"Since you said this, then Ye Minzhe, better prepare yourself well. I won't go easy on you."
Ye Minzhe closed his eyes. "I have already accepted my fate."
Song Jia adjusted her grip on the baseball bat...
And then used her free hand to deck him.
"Ye Minzhe, are you an idiot? Why would I go and commit animal abuse?"
