Chapter 41

Fu Chuqing didn't leave with them. He asked the psychics at Xue Yu's base, "Can we stay overnight?"

The psychics at Xue Yu's base looked at each other, and one of them nodded: "Of course." They were so powerful, if they could join Xue Yu's base, Mr. Xue would surely welcome them.

But judging from their situation, they probably just want to find someone.

The people at Xueyu Base brought them deeper into the base and arranged for them to live in the best houses.

In the cornfield of the base, Qiao Yanrou mixed in with the crowd and picked corn quickly and silently.

A male psychic came over and waved to the older woman in charge of the cornfield. The older woman smiled and walked over: "What can I do for you?"

"Are there any newcomers today?" The male mutant looked into the cornfield. The corn and the unevenly distributed people made it impossible for him to distinguish which was a strange face. The key point was that he had never seen the person the group was looking for, let alone knew what she looked like.

The older sister in the cornfield hesitated for a moment. She wanted to say that there was one, but then she remembered that the girl just now said that she entered the base yesterday.

"No, we have it from yesterday." The elder sister told him truthfully.

The male psychic left after hearing this. They had not discovered the existence of those villas yesterday.

Qiao Yanrou had been observing silently and could not hear their conversation clearly, but after seeing the male psychic who came over to ask her elder sister leave, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Fu Chuqing came faster and more carefully than she expected. Qiao Yanrou didn't want to be caught and "squeezed dry" by him. Although she enjoyed it, she couldn't stand such high intensity.

She was picking corns with great effort. The older sister who came over saw that she worked so hard despite her thin arms and legs, so she nodded in praise and said she would give her an extra egg for dinner later.

She stayed there smoothly until dark, and followed a group of people to the dining area. The people picking corn with her were too tired to talk, and no one paid attention to whether the person next to them was a new face. Even if it was a new face, it was normal, as people came to this base almost every day.

Qiao Yanrou followed them and came to a very empty house. There were many people standing inside with lunch boxes in their hands. The eldest sister took them to a window for getting food. There was no one at that window. It seemed that it was a window specially set up for people in the cornfield.

She took out a lunch box from the storage space, cleaned it with her water ability, and joined the queue for food. After all, every meal saved counts, not to mention there was meat and eggs to eat.

When it was time to serve her food, the elder sister told the person at the window, "Give her an extra fried egg."

Qiao Yanrou looked surprised and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, big sister."

She walked out with the lunch box in her hand, feeling satisfied. She sat on the stone bench outside and started to eat. She was always alert and kept observing her surroundings while eating, wondering if Fu Chuqing and the others had left.

She ate in small bites and the food was soon finished. After all, she had worked for half a day and was already hungry and tired.

The crowd at the place where she had just gotten her meal had dispersed, and she began to wonder where to stay tonight.

Just when the eldest sister was about to go back to rest, she saw her sitting alone on a stone bench, which seemed out of place with the surrounding night.

The elder sister felt a little soft-hearted when she saw her. It was not easy for a girl. She walked over and asked her, "Don't we have a place to stay for you?"

Qiao Yanrou hesitated for a few seconds and shook her head: "No."

The eldest sister probably guessed that she must have been arranged to sleep in the same bed with someone else last night. Looking at her thin and weak appearance, the other party probably didn't let her sleep with him. This kind of thing often happens in the base.

"There is an empty room that is currently unoccupied. You can stay there first," the elder sister said to her.

Qiao Yanrou was flattered and happily stood up and shook her elder sister's hand: "Thank you, elder sister!"

"Don't be polite to me." The eldest sister laughed heartily.

Qiao Yanrou followed her to an old building and went up to the fifth floor with her elder sister. She was a little out of breath after climbing the stairs.

"You can live here." The elder sister opened the door and handed her the key.

Qiao Yanrou thanked her again. This elder sister was a pleasant surprise to her. If it weren't for this elder sister, she might have been caught by Fu Chuqing in the cornfield and eaten dry.

"Live well here. I'm leaving first." The elder sister waved to her and went downstairs.

Qiao Yanrou watched her go downstairs before turning around and walking into the room. The room was simply furnished with only a bed and a table, a bathroom but no kitchen.

She took out the sheets and quilt covers from the storage space and spread them on the bed. She was already tired after a day, so she quickly took a shower. After the shower, she lay comfortably on the bed and prepared to fall asleep.

Qiao Yanrou opened her eyes and looked at the cracked ceiling. It felt like she was back to the time before she met Fu Chuqing.

Recalling some scenes in her mind, she gradually felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, Fu Chuqing's tall body held her on the table, his clothes were neatly arranged, and the gold-rimmed glasses he wore reflected a faint light.

She leaned her back in his arms, her open lips were kissed by him as he turned his face to the side, and her whimpers were stifled by him.

Her dream was like being immersed in spring water, and when she woke up her forehead was covered with sweat.

Qiao Yanrou stared at the ceiling in a daze. The light coming in from outside indicated that it was already dawn.

She dreamed all night, dreaming that she and Fu Chuqing were being intimate in a strange place. It was so real that she felt exhausted and weak when she woke up.

Qiao Yanrou didn't care, but her legs felt a little weak and sore when she got out of bed. She thought it was because of picking corn yesterday, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

After washing up, she stood in front of the window with a piece of bread in her hand, eating while looking at the deserted corridor downstairs.

There are more people in this base than she imagined. Xue Yu Base... a very unfamiliar base, one she had never heard of before.

As long as no one in the base came up to ask her to do something, Qiao Yanrou decided not to go out and stay here. No matter whether Fu Chuqing left the base or not, he would not go looking for her room by room. After all, this was not the place he was in charge of.

Seeing the sun rising high in the sky, Qiao Yanrou did not go out all day. She just ate a little lunch and dinner to fill her stomach.

It was not until noon on the third day that someone knocked on her door. Qiao Yanrou calmly put on her black-framed glasses and hat and opened the door. It was the older sister who had helped her two days ago.

The eldest sister told her the good news: "I found a job for you. It's easy and the meals are provided."

Qiao Yanrou didn't want to go, but she couldn't refuse. She couldn't act too abnormally. Normally, who doesn't want to have a good job? If she showed her unwillingness or refused, it would definitely arouse her elder sister's suspicion.

"Thank you, sister. What kind of work is it?" She tried her best to cheer up.

The eldest sister didn't notice the subtle change in her expression: "This job is easy, you just need to change the water in Mr. Xue's swimming pool every day." The eldest sister had asked about her special abilities before and knew that she had water-related special abilities, so it just so happened that she could do this job.

Qiao Yanrou's expression showed surprise. A swimming pool? Mr. Xue was the one in charge of this base, right? Xue Yu Base... If she guessed correctly, Mr. Xue should be called Xue Yu.

So cozy? And there's a swimming pool?

"Thank you, sister. Should I go now or tomorrow?" she asked her sister.

The eldest sister said, "Let's go tomorrow. It's so late today. I'll take you there tomorrow."

"I'm really sorry to bother you, big sister." She didn't have anything to give her, so she took out a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of conditioner from the storage space and handed them to her big sister.

When she searched the supermarket before, she took a lot of shampoo, conditioner and other things, but she couldn't give up the food. After all, her ultimate goal was not here, and she would need to survive on her own in the future.

The elder sister was very pleased and did not refuse the gift from her. She took it in her hand and smiled happily.

"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."

"Okay, go slowly." Qiao Yanrou watched her go downstairs.

Late that night, Qiao Yanrou began to dream again, and it was still a dream that she found difficult to talk about. Even in the dream, Fu Chuqing could still make her indulge in intimacy with him.

She seemed reluctant to let go until she passed out in her dream.

Qiao Yanrou woke up immediately. She sat up and gasped for breath, as if she had really experienced a satisfying intimacy with Fu Chuqing.

The feeling of numbness that permeated her body and mind was so clear and real, as if she had felt it herself, but she knew it was just a dream.
