Ruan Tian told the two of them to get dressed before they started talking.

But Zhang San and Li Si didn't have any extra clothes!

In the end, they could only make do with the remaining curtains to wrap themselves up as clothes.

The two men knelt obediently in front of Ruan Tian, ​​answering all her questions.

"Tell me more about the situation in City B."

The mere mention of City B instantly ignited the excitement in Zhang San and Li Si, like a surging river.

Before the apocalypse, the two were considered relatively wealthy small business owners in City B, and they knew some inside information.

"Before B City, researchers seemed to be working on AI robots, trying to make robots learn human emotions."

But what if robots learn emotions and try to enslave humans? It's quite dangerous anyway.

When the plan first came out, it faced significant obstacles, as it had already been explicitly prohibited.

But who would have thought that a group of people were secretly conducting research behind the scenes?

At this point, Zhang San gasped and continued somewhat nervously:

"I now suspect that after the apocalypse, AI might be invaded by a zombie virus and completely awaken its self-awareness!"

There wasn't a single living person in City B. Even if there were any surviving humans, they were all killed by sentient machines.

We finally escaped from City B and never want to go back. You guys don't want to go to City B, do you?

My advice is this: humans aren't welcome there. If you want to live, don't go!

After learning about the basic situation in City B, Ruan Tian and Bai Chulan asked a few more questions.

But Zhang San and Li Si knew very little, and after they had told everything they could, they were no longer of any use to them.

They had no ill intentions and no desire to kill.

So Ruan Tian decided to let the two of them go.

Zhang San and Li Si were extremely grateful. After thanking the two men, they ran away without looking back!

Bai Chulan looked at Ruan Tian deep in thought, stared at her for a while, and then suddenly asked:

Are you leaving?

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian was still in a daze.

"ah?"

Bai Chulan repeated it again:

"I said, are you leaving?"

Ruan Tian finally realized what was happening and scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

"Yes."

Upon hearing Ruan Tian's reply, Bai Chulan fell silent, suddenly becoming quiet.

The crimson moonlight shone through the window, staining the ground a blood-red hue.

Bai Chulan's upper body was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

The atmosphere fell silent.

Ruan Tian keenly noticed the negative emotions emanating from Bai Chulan.

He didn't say a word, yet the atmosphere in the entire space became oppressive.

Ruan Tian didn't take it to heart at first; she simply summoned Snow White and diligently prepared delicious food for Bai Chulan.

She was about to leave Bai Chulan, so she wanted to make him lots of cream cakes.

Before doing so, Ruan Tian took out 30,000 crystal cores and upgraded the little cart to level 15 in one go.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Level 11 recipe: Sugar-Roasted Chestnuts.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a level 12 recipe: Braised Pork Belly in Soy Sauce.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a level 13 recipe: Northeastern Three Delicacies.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a level 14 recipe: Garlic Mashed Potatoes.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a level 15 recipe: Charcoal Grilled Lamb Chops.]

To Ruan Tian's disappointment, the upgrade of the level 15 electric tricycle did not bring about significant changes.

Aside from slightly better battery life and faster speed, the only other improvement is that the "skin" has become whiter.

Ruan Tian couldn't help but ask the system, "Aren't there any other rewards?"

System: [With such a beautiful complexion, what other reward would you like, host?]

Ruan Tian: "I am human, I don't like machine-to-machine relationships."

System: [This is an aesthetic you don't understand, host. I suggest you spend more time with princesses; you might then understand their charm.]

Ruan Tian: "...Thank you, but I can't appreciate it at all."

Although Snow White didn't see any major improvements after her upgrade, there was one thing that made Ruan Tian very satisfied.

The food she makes has a built-in preservation property.

The food I make is always the freshest, no matter when you eat it!

So Ruan Tian wanted to take advantage of the time she was still by Bai Chulan's side to cook him lots of delicious food.

This way, Bai Chulan can eat fresh food while traveling.

Ruan Tian was immersed in the joy of having a new menu, humming a song as she buried herself in making food for Bai Chulan.

Bai Chulan didn't say a word the whole time, but just huddled in the shadows, staring intently at Ruan Tian.

After Ruan Tian had huffed and puffed her way through making over a hundred small cakes for Bai Chulan, she finally stopped and let out a long sigh.

Who knew that as soon as she turned around, she bumped into Bai Chulan's chest.

Unbeknownst to them, Bai Chulan, who had been lurking in the shadows, had silently appeared behind Ruan Tian.

"Hey, when did you get here? I didn't hear your footsteps at all."

Ruan Tian covered her nose and continued to complain to Bai Chulan.

But Bai Chulan didn't say a word, he just looked down at Ruan Tian.

Now, even if Ruan Tian is oblivious, she can still sense that something is wrong with Bai Chulan.

What's wrong with you?

Ruan Tian asked subconsciously, then suddenly realized that Bai Chulan was probably in this state because she said she was leaving immediately.

"Let me explain!"

To prevent Bai Chulan from overthinking, Ruan Tian quickly spoke up to explain:

"I have my reasons for leaving you! You have to believe me, if possible, I'd like to travel around with you, right?"

Ruan Tian felt like she was coaxing a child, but Bai Chulan wasn't buying it at all.

He suddenly raised his hand and gripped Ruan Tian's wrist tightly, staring at her with a dark look in his eyes, his gaze carrying a certain inexplicable tremor.

The relationship between Bai Chulan and Ruan Tian had finally taken a step further.

He has always been sensitive and suspicious, and Ruan Tian is the first person he truly trusts.

Bai Chulan has very few possessions; Ruan Tian is the most precious one.

"Can we stay?"

For the first time, Bai Chulan revealed his vulnerable side in front of Ruan Tian.

He suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ruan Tian tightly.

Bai Chulan buried his face in Ruan Tian's neck, gently inhaling her scent.

His slender, fair fingers gripped Ruan Tian's shoulders tightly. The young master, who was used to living a life of luxury and never asking for favors, now looked like a child afraid of being abandoned.

His voice trembled, even carrying a hint of a sob, as he said with utmost humility:

"Please, please don't leave me."

When has Bai Chulan ever been so humble?

He has always been noble, and his superpower is a unique light-based superpower. Where would he ask for help from others?

Ruan Tian was also feeling bad; she didn't know what to say.

Sigh, first there was Ye Mofeng, and now there's Bai Chulan.

She suddenly realized how much she resembled... a scumbag woman!
