56: Chapter 56 Never Lies

"Ah!"

Chu Ximo let out a soft gasp of surprise, a strange look appearing on her face.

A strange look also appeared on Chu Xiyan's face; she quickly glanced at Li Hao but said nothing.

For the two of them, having worked in this foot bath shop for so long, they naturally understood some of the rules.

They naturally knew what was actually going on on the third floor.

"No, what's with those expressions on your faces!" Li Hao said loudly, looking embarrassed as he saw the two sisters, Chu Xiyan and Chu Ximo, looking at him with strange expressions.

"No, it's nothing. No wonder we've never seen you before!" Chu Xiyan quickly replied.

Ye Fan looked at the three of them with a smile. "Oh, it seems this shop of yours has quite a reputation, doesn't it?"

"Th-this has nothing to do with us. We are completely legitimate; please don't misunderstand." A blush appeared on Chu Xiyan's face as she quickly explained.

"Hey, I know, I know!" Ye Fan quickly said, smiling as he looked the two women over.

Seeing Ye Fan like this, the two sisters, Chu Xiyan and Chu Ximo, felt a complex mix of emotions. They stood frozen in place, their gazes fixed on Ye Fan, studying him carefully.

Immediately after, Ye Fan slowly spoke again: "Why don't you two sisters just leave here with us?"

After hearing this, the two were stunned for a few seconds before quickly refusing: "No, we sisters are doing just fine staying here."

"Doing just fine? What's good about this? The air is filled with a stench of rot everywhere, and with just the two of you weak women staying here, what if more zombies come? Wouldn't that be..." Ye Fan said quickly.

"You two don't need to worry about that. We sisters don't want to live under someone else's roof."

"Hmm, quite ambitious. I like your personality." Ye Fan said with a smile, nodding quickly, his gaze landing on the speaker, Chu Xiyan.

"You two should leave quickly! We won't go with you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan let out a soft "tsk" sound. This made things a bit difficult for him.

He quickly scanned the room, then slowly said: "If I'm not mistaken, you two have run out of food, haven't you?"

"Whether we have food or not doesn't seem to have anything to do with you!"

"Hmph! Doesn't have anything to do with me? How could it not? As long as you two leave with us, I guarantee that you sisters will never have to worry about food again, and I can even have someone protect your safety."

Ye Fan said to the two women with a wide smile.

The woman in front of him was truly too stubborn; he had no choice but to dangle some bait to keep them interested.

If it still didn't work in the end, he would really have to consider whether he needed to use force. Regardless, Ye Fan was determined to take these two sisters with him.

To him, these two sisters were living system rewards! He absolutely could not let them go.

That said, he could have used force from the very beginning, but that might damage their relationship, and if that happened, it wouldn't be very good.

Besides, he still needed these two to help him obtain system rewards!

If he solved it with force and they did something rash, like taking their own lives, wouldn't all his hard work be for nothing? That would be too big of a loss.

You have to know that now that the apocalypse has descended, there aren't many survivors to begin with, let alone good-looking female survivors.

After hearing Ye Fan's words, the two sisters, Chu Xiyan and Chu Ximo, were indeed moved.

However, at this very moment, a rumbling sound slowly echoed through the room.

Chu Ximo, the younger sister whom Chu Xiyan was protecting behind her, showed a look of embarrassment on her face. Her complexion was a bit pale, and she quickly reached out to touch her stomach.

Then, she quickly glanced at her sister in front of her.

Chu Xiyan quickly turned to look at her sister behind her, her face full of dilemma as she clenched her fists tightly.

"Sister Xiyan... I..."

At this moment, Ye Fan's attention was also drawn by this sound, and he quickly looked toward the direction it came from.

Ye Fan's gaze held a hint of a smile as he looked at the delicate and touching Chu Ximo behind Chu Xiyan.

Although the two sisters, Chu Xiyan and Chu Ximo, looked somewhat similar, their personalities were completely different.

Chu Ximo gave people a feeling of being well-behaved and cute, while Chu Xiyan gave Ye Fan the feeling of a cold and aloof older sister.

Chu Ximo noticed Ye Fan's gaze fixed on her, and a blush suddenly appeared on her pale face.

Her face was full of embarrassment, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Ye Fan's gaze.

Seeing this, Ye Fan suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Ye Fan smiled calmly. The next moment, a loaf of bread instantly appeared in his hand. He held it and slowly said: "You must be starving! Why don't you eat something first to fill your stomach."

Upon hearing Ye Fan's voice, Chu Ximo slowly raised her head, her gaze landing on the bag of bread in Ye Fan's hand.

When she saw the bread in Ye Fan's hand, her eyes stared straight at it, and she couldn't help but quickly swallow her saliva.

At this moment, she really wanted to go forward and take the bread from Ye Fan's hand.

But she didn't dare to; she could only quickly sweep her gaze to her sister's face in front of her, observing her sister's expression.

Chu Xiyan was also staring blankly at Ye Fan, frozen in place, not knowing what she was thinking, without saying a word.

However, seeing that her sister made no move, Chu Ximo also didn't dare to step forward and could only stand there blankly.

At this moment, the entire room suddenly became quiet.

Ye Fan, holding the bread, quickly exchanged a glance with Li Hao behind him, then stared blankly at the two sisters who remained silent.

"What? Aren't you hungry?" Ye Fan spoke first.

Chu Ximo quickly swallowed her saliva, wanting to say something, but couldn't get the words out. "I..."

"Is everything you said just now true?" Just then, Chu Xiyan, who had been silent and thinking for a long time, quickly came back to her senses and looked at Ye Fan.

"What?" Ye Fan asked, looking at the woman in front of him with some confusion.

"It's just... what you said earlier, that as long as we go back with you..."

"Oh! That!" Ye Fan instantly realized, then patted his chest and guaranteed: "Of course it's true. I, Ye Fan, never lie."

"Are... are there any conditions?" Chu Xiyan's gaze met Ye Fan's.

In her eyes, it was as if the light had faded, becoming somewhat dim.
