Chapter 64 You might as well give me a few crystal cores instead.

The next day, everyone saw Qin Zhuo off at the base gate.

Around the gate, staff members were busy working in an orderly manner, but there was no sign of other rescue team members who had come to assemble.

Chen Yunfei craned his neck and looked around.

"Where's nobody? We were supposed to meet here at eight o'clock."

His eyes were full of doubt.

Qin Zhuo lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on the watch on his wrist. "It's still ten minutes until eight o'clock. The person will probably be here soon."

As he spoke, he gently patted Chen Yunfei's shoulder to comfort him.

However, this wait felt like an eternity.

It was almost nine o'clock when I saw a few men walking over, arms around each other's shoulders, swaying leisurely.

One of the men was named Li Hai. He clearly recognized Qin Zhuo and greeted her casually as soon as he saw her.

"Qin Zhuo, you've joined the rescue team too! Hey, from now on we'll be doing missions together."

Qin Zhuo nodded politely, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Li Hai looked Qin Zhuo and the others up and down, then frowned.

“You all look like you’ve been here for a long time.”

"We arrived before eight o'clock and have been waiting here for over an hour!"

Chen Yunfei's face flushed red, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

Li Hai scratched his head, looking puzzled, and said, "Why are you here so early? We're supposed to meet at nine. You don't need to arrive an hour early. Your sense of time is too strong."

Qiao Yue, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, exclaimed, "Nine o'clock? Isn't it eight o'clock?"

Li Hai smiled awkwardly, "Yesterday, Young Master Ye told me it was nine o'clock."

Chen Yunfei stomped his feet in anger, "That Ye Yufan must have done it on purpose."

Yu Xiang chimed in, "Yes, it was intentional. He's a big bad guy who wanted to bully Zhuo Zhuo."

Her little face puffed up with anger, like a little steamed bun.

Seeing this, Li Hai roughly understood the reason behind it.

Young Master Ye and Qin Zhuo don't get along. I don't know what Qin Zhuo thought of offending Young Master Ye. He's in for a world of hurt now.

So, Li Hai and the people who had just been arm in arm with him quietly distanced themselves from Qin Zhuo and the others, standing aside with distant looks in their eyes.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Yue gave a disgruntled snort, her tone laced with sarcasm.

"They are all people who seek profit and avoid harm. As soon as they see that something is wrong, they quickly run far away."

Seeing Qiao Yue's angry expression, Qiao Yan gently patted her shoulder, "Why get angry with them? It doesn't really matter anyway."

It was already nine o'clock, and the sunlight had become quite intense.

Ye Yufan and Li Ruoyan arrived late, side by side, with the two bodyguards still following behind them.

Chen Yunfei leaned close to Qin Zhuo's ear, lowered his voice, and whispered with a puzzled look, "How did these two end up together? Ye Yufan and Li Ruoyan are both troublemakers; there's nothing good going on when they get together."

Ye Yufan swaggered up to Qin Zhuo, a faint, fake smile on his face, and said lightly, "Sorry, I changed the meeting time after notifying you yesterday, but I forgot to tell you. You must have been waiting for a long time. I'm really sorry!"

But his tone was as if he were talking about a trivial matter, without the slightest bit of apology.

Li Ruoyan's lips curled up slightly, "Young Master Ye didn't do it on purpose. It's normal to forget when you're busy. I'm sure Brother Qin won't mind, right?"

The voice was so sweet it could make you sick, but there was a hint of meanness in her words.

Yu Xiang stood in front of Qin Zhuo, hands on her hips, and said angrily, "I don't know if Zhuo Zhuo minds, but I mind a lot! I've been in the sun for so long, I'm almost dried out, and an apology isn't enough!"

Qin Zhuo looked at Youxiang's back in front of him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a faint, doting smile.

Ye Yufan then noticed that Youxiang was also there, and his eyes lit up instantly. He immediately smiled and said, "It's my fault. To express my apology, I'd like to invite you to dinner."

Qin Zhuo frowned, his eyes instantly turning cold. He quickly pulled Youxiang behind him, saying, "Young Master Ye, it's not necessary. She doesn't like it."

Yu Xiang peeked out from behind Qin Zhuo and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I don't like it. You might as well give me a few crystal cores."

Why would a zombie like her eat human food? It has no flavor, nothing compares to the satisfying taste of crystal cores.

Li Ruoyan shrieked, "You greedy woman! Do you know how valuable crystal cores are now? Do you think crystal cores are like cabbages, something you can just get whenever you want them?!"

Ye Yufan glanced at Li Ruoyan and said, "Shut up!"

Li Ruoyan was both angry and annoyed, but dared not utter another word.

A man driven mad by lust!

I really don't understand why Qin Zhuo and Young Master Ye both like someone who has absolutely no femininity. What does she lack compared to this stupid woman?

But Young Master Ye's affections are not something that can be easily concealed.

Thinking this, a hint of malice flashed in Li Ruoyan's eyes.

Ye Yufan's eyes were fixed on Youxiang behind Qin Zhuo, and a smile he thought was charming appeared on his lips. "My name is Ye Yufan, and I know your name is Youxiang. You want a crystal core, and I can give it to you."

As he spoke, he slowly took out two crystal cores from his pocket and handed them towards Yuxiang.

Qin Zhuo stared sharply at Ye Yufan, "We don't want the crystal core."

Ye Yufan, however, paid no attention to Qin Zhuo's cold face. The hypocritical smile still lingered on his lips as he raised an eyebrow. "But I don't think Miss Youxiang thinks that way."

Qin Zhuo turned his head slightly and saw Youxiang staring longingly at the two crystal cores.

Qin Zhuo was immediately displeased and frowned, saying, "You're not allowed to take it."

He had given her so many crystal cores before, so why were these two tiny crystal cores so coveted by her?

Yu Xiang glanced at the two crystal cores one last time, then looked away.

Two crystal cores are nothing compared to the crystal cores Qin Zhuo keeps giving her.

Even if she were stupid, she would know what to choose, but she couldn't help feeling regretful, since the crystal core was clearly compensation that the other party should give.

Seeing that Youxiang was obedient, Qin Zhuo withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Yufan with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Ye Yufan showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he stretched his hand towards Youxiang again and deliberately dragged out his words, "Really don't want it?"

Just then, Qiao Yue rushed over.

"Oh, I'll accept it on behalf of Xiaoyouzi, so stop dawdling here."

As she spoke, she snatched the crystal core directly from Ye Yufan's hand, her movements swift and decisive, giving Ye Yufan no chance to react.

Qiao Yue's action stunned everyone present, as if time had stood still at that moment.
