Chapter 14 Chapter 14

Seeing her firm attitude, Bai Xiaoyan asked her in a low voice: "I heard that Brother Chen didn't even let you into the tent?" It seemed that Brother Chen rejected her proposal to break up.

Qiao Yanrou nodded: "He is very defensive against me now."

Bai Xiaoyan knew that Brother Chen would not agree to break up: "Or you can just... stop thinking about breaking up."

Qiao Yanrou remained silent. She was no longer thinking about breaking up, but about how to leave the base.

Bai Xiaoyan didn't hear her response and thought she had finally compromised. She never thought that she would want to leave the base.

Ever since she regained her freedom in the base, people in the base no longer dared to tease Shen Luohan and Zhang Keqing, and Qiu Te became much more obedient.

But...how could Zhang Keqing be willing to accept this? She fell in love with Chen Luohan, and there was nothing she wanted that she couldn't get since she was a child.

What's more, her love rival is just a beginner psychic, and she is a mid-level dual-system psychic. No matter what, Shen Luohan will not treat her too harshly.

However, what Zhang Keqing didn't expect was that Qiao Yanrou, who always disliked being in the crowd, especially when mid- and high-level psychics sat together, Qiao Yanrou always avoided them.

Now she ate with them.

At the dining table, Qiao Yanrou took the initiative to sit next to Chen Luohan, with a face so beautiful that it could shame the moon and flowers, and her eyes were smiling and her brows were relaxed.

The psychics sitting around cast curious glances at her, but were unconsciously immersed in her beauty. She rarely smiled as much as she did today. She was usually gentle but cold, making people feel distant.

Ji Yuanchen watched her silently, his eyebrows slightly raised, looking at her thoughtfully.

Chen Luohan's heart and eyes were filled with Qiao Yanrou, and he forked a piece of watermelon for her as usual.

She took it and ate it in small bites, while he watched her eat, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.

Zhang Keqing couldn't keep the smile on her face, her expression looked very bad, even for a second. Shen Luohan had never looked at her the same way he looked at Qiao Yanrou.

Qiao Yanrou seemed to have accepted the fact that Chen Luohan and Zhang Keqing had been close some time ago.

She began to show her affection with Chen Luohan in front of everyone without any reservation.

This move caught the eyes of many people with special abilities, who thought she was asserting her sovereignty and began to become jealous.

After dinner, Qiao Yanrou hugged Shen Luohan's left arm, her almond eyes and white teeth smiling beautifully. When she was talking to Bai Xiaoyan, her delicate face would occasionally stick to Shen Luohan's arm. This unintentional action was too lethal.

Shen Luohan, who usually had a serious face, stared at her with a slight smile on his lips, as if he could dig out his heart and let her play with it.

Ji Yuanchen looked at the scene in front of him with a frown on his face. The idea of plundering was spreading like crazy, eroding his sanity bit by bit.

In the lobby on the first floor, when Shen Luohan picked up a piece of fruit and handed it to Qiao Yanrou.

Zhang Keqing said to him coquettishly, "Brother Chen hasn't picked up any fruit for me in a long time."

Shen Luohan's handsome face visibly darkened: "How many times are you going to bring up that apple you peeled that time?"

He handed the piece of fruit he had forked to Qiao Yanrou, who took it in her hand.

Zhang Keqing was used to turning awkwardness into familiarity: "I was just showing off. Sister Yanrou, please don't misunderstand me. Brother Chen was so nice to me back then that I got carried away."

After hearing these words, the psychics sitting around dared not say a word. A few days ago, Qiao Yanrou and Boss Shen broke up, and Boss Shen was in a bad mood for several days. Except for Ji Yuanchen, no one else dared to say a word in front of him.

Bai Xiaoyan was furious! Who couldn't hear the meaning behind her words? Yanrou and Brother Shen had just reconciled not long ago, and she wanted to stir up trouble again.

Just when everyone thought Qiao Yanrou would be angry with Chen Luohan, Qiao Yanrou's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

She smiled at Zhang Keqing and said, "Let's forget about what happened before. Now, as long as Luo Han is happy, I will support him in whatever he wants to do."

Zhang Keqing was surprised by her magnanimity and wondered whether she was telling the truth or not.

Shen Luohan showed no interest at all, and his expression became even more gloomy.

"You guys take your time chatting, I'll go and help." Qiao Yanrou said politely to the psychic sitting there, then stood up to help Sister Lan.

That night, Shen Luohan asked her why she suddenly didn't mind, and whether she had other thoughts.

Qiao Yanrou bit her lip and said in broken words that she didn't. He didn't believe her and questioned her several times, but she denied having any other thoughts.

Facts have proved that she did what she said. She often smiled and watched Zhang Keqing and Shen Luohan talking in a coquettish manner. Not only was she not angry, she also gave them both space.

At first, Chen Luohan was always worried that Qiao Yanrou would leave him, but gradually he realized that she really didn't want to interfere with his conversations with the opposite sex and showed no signs of leaving him.

The search team that went out from the base returned to its original track.

Zhang Keqing returned to Shen Luohan's team as she wished and went out with him to search for supplies.

As time went by, Chen Luohan no longer avoided Zhang Keqing, and Qiao Yanrou no longer minded their contact and never exchanged glances with Chen Luohan again.

Once, Qiao Yanrou brought the cut fruits to the table in the hall. Zhang Keqing grabbed the corner of Shen Luohan's clothes and acted coquettishly. When she saw her come out, she stuck out her tongue mischievously and let go of her hand.

Qiao Yan had a dazzlingly soft face, smiled gently, and placed the fruit plate on the table.

“Sister Yanrou, I was just talking to Brother Chen about going out to search, please don’t mind.”

Qiao Yanrou smiled and said, "I don't mind. As long as you are happy."

Shen Luohan gently stroked her hair to comfort her.

Although Bai Xiaoyan looked angry, she didn't want Yanrou to be separated from Brother Chen, so she could only swallow her anger.

After a while, several psychics talked about going out to search, and Qiao Yanrou said tentatively: "I also want to contribute to the base. Can you take me with you?"

The man stopped stroking her black hair, and the psychics sitting around him all looked surprised. It was safest to stay in the base, so why did she take the initiative to follow him out to search?

Qiao Yanrou felt the gaze of Shen Luohan next to her, and she said sadly, "I also want to be like Keqing, staying by Luohan's side. That way I don't have to worry about him at the base every day, waiting for him to come back."

When the others heard her say this, they all laughed. It turned out that they were envious of Zhang Keqing.

Zhang Keqing looked at Chen Luohan with starry eyes. This was where Qiao Yanrou could not replace her.

"It's dangerous outside, wait for me in the base." Shen Luohan hugged her slender shoulders tightly and looked at her lovingly.

Qiao Yanrou had no choice but to nod and lean on his shoulder. She knew in her heart that there was no room for negotiation in front of Shen Luohan about her going out to search.

She needed to find another team to take her out to search for supplies. The only one with the say and power in the base, besides Chen Luohan, was... Ji Yuanchen.
