After what felt like an eternity, Ruan Qing was nearly dozing off when the sound of the room door being opened echoed through the air.
Upon hearing the sound, Ruan Qing instantly snapped awake, his eyes clear and alert.
Not knowing who was entering, Ruan Qing quieted his breath, striving to diminish his presence to avoid being noticed.
There was a slight gap in the wardrobe door, allowing a faint ray of light to filter in. Though it wasn’t enough to illuminate the wardrobe, it provided a glimpse of the outside through that tiny crack.
Ruan Qing leaned slightly closer to the gap in the door and peered into the room.
The person who entered the room was... the man wearing the white lab coat.
Ruan Qing lowered his gaze slightly. A doctor who needed so many people to protect him probably wasn’t as vigilant as those bodyguards in suits.
It seemed that fate still favored him.
The man didn’t know that there was one more person in the room, and he didn’t think anyone would dare to enter his room without permission.
After putting the tablet and notebook on the table by the bed, he went into the bathroom.
He then proceeded to leisurely clean the bloodstains and remnants of medication from his hands, with a hint of excitement and satisfaction in his eyes.
The young man was truly a surprise. Even his blood was so special, special enough to be as enchanting as the young man himself.
No, the young man wasn’t just a surprise; he was more like a gift from heaven to him.
The phrase “gift to him” added a few more degrees of pleasure to the man’s mood, making his happiness evident to anyone.
The man took out a tissue and wiped the water droplets from his hands. Then, he removed his non-prescription glasses, fully revealing his indifferent and unwavering eyes, filled with indifference.
The sense of oppression and aggression could no longer be concealed, appearing very dangerous.
The man placed his glasses on the tablet beside the bed, then walked slowly towards the dressing room.
Although Ruan Qing judged that the man’s vigilance was not as high as that of the group of men in suits, he remained cautious.
As he heard the approaching footsteps, his whole body tensed up. He quieted his breath and listened intently to the sounds outside.
The footsteps grew closer and closer, causing an increasing sense of tension.
Did the man discover him? Or was he coming to change clothes?
Ruan Qing’s heart felt as though it were being squeezed by a hand, and when the footsteps stopped at the entrance to the dressing room, he held his breath, afraid to make a sound.
The man had come to change clothes.
He leisurely removed his white lab coat and slowly unbuttoned his shirt.
Although the man spent years in the laboratory, his physique was not frail. Under the shirt were muscles and abs, exuding strength, appearing strong and powerful.
He didn’t look like a researcher; he looked more like someone who worked out regularly.
Moreover, the usually formal man had his shirt unbuttoned, revealing a hint of sensuality and allure.
But at this moment, there was no one to appreciate it.
After taking off his shirt, the man intended to grab a towel casually, but hesitated when he saw the clothes and towel exposed outside.
Although the clothes in his room were undoubtedly new, since he rarely visited, it was difficult to ensure that they didn’t accumulate dust.
Normally, someone would clean, but after the zombie outbreak, nothing was certain.
The man withdrew his hand and walked to the wardrobe in the corner.
At least the clothes in the wardrobe were shielded, minimizing the chance of gathering dust; they were surely much cleaner.
He opened the wardrobe, glanced inside casually, then grabbed a towel and entered the bathroom.
When the man opened the wardrobe, Ruan Qing’s nerves were completely taut. He held the syringe tightly in his hand, his slender fingers turning white with the pressure, thinking he had been discovered.
Fortunately, the man only came to get the towel.
Because the towel was large, it occupied quite a bit of space. After taking it away, there was a slight gap in the wardrobe, allowing more light to shine through that gap.
Even a ray of light fell on Ruan Qing’s trouser leg.
Although it was just a tiny sliver, barely the size of chopsticks, there was still a risk of exposure. After all, his pants were black, standing out from the colors in the entire wardrobe.
Ruan Qing stiffened his body, not daring to move.
Fortunately, the man seemed not to have noticed, as he took the towel and left.
Due to holding his breath just now, Ruan Qing was now experiencing oxygen deprivation. His face and the corners of his eyes reddened slightly, and his eyes became misty.
But Ruan Qing dared not breathe. Instead, he waited for the man to enter the bathroom with the towel and only started to breathe slowly in small breaths when he heard the sound of water dripping in the bathroom.
As Ruan Qing breathed, he also struggled to swallow mouthfuls of saliva. He couldn’t stay in this wardrobe any longer.
The man might come over to change clothes after taking a shower.
He must find another place to hide.
But the problem was that the bathroom was directly facing this dressing room, leaving Ruan Qing with no opportunity to leave.
Ruan Qing looked at the blurry figure on the glass door of the bathroom, planning to leave the dressing room when the man turned away.
However, the man had finished washing up and was still facing the door, making it easy for him to catch any movement in the direction of the dressing room.
Ruan Qing had no opportunity at all. He could only curl his feet and huddle completely into the corner.
After the man finished showering, he wrapped the towel around key parts of his body, dried his damp hair with a towel, and then walked back to the dressing room.
After drying himself off, the man took out a clean set of pajamas from the wardrobe and put them on.
The pajamas were not in the man’s preferred color, but since he was not in his usual place, he couldn’t expect much.
After changing into the pajamas, the man returned to the bed and lay down diagonally.
It was already very late, but the man felt no hint of sleepiness. In fact, he was quite alert and even seemed to be energized.
He picked up the tablet on the table, pulled up the surveillance video of the young man, and started watching it carefully again.
Even though the man had watched this video countless times, he showed no signs of boredom. Every time he watched, there was a hint of amazement and pleasure in his eyes.
However, this time, the man only glanced at it for a few minutes before his gaze suddenly stopped.
In the wardrobe just now... the colors seemed a bit off?
The man’s memory was naturally good. He remembered that when he first took the towel, there seemed to be a hint of black in the corner, which seemed abrupt and not a color that should appear in his wardrobe.
However, when he stood up, blocking the light, it was normal for other colors to appear black in backlit conditions, so he didn’t pay attention.
But when he came back from his shower, that hint of black seemed to be gone?
Come to think of it, he just smelled a hint of perfume in the dressing room, much like the fragrance of jasmine.
He originally thought it was one of his subordinates who didn’t understand his preferences, unaware that he disliked the scent of perfume, so they sprayed it in the room.
But upon careful consideration, without his permission, no one would dare to enter his room.
Even though he didn’t often come to this villa.
In the wardrobe... someone was there.
For a moment, the man’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly. He set down the tablet and slowly walked towards the dressing room.
Ah ah ah!!!!!!! im ready!!!!
