Part 1v1, part 1vN.
After Ye Jiu died, she was inexplicably chosen by a system. However, this system seemed to have a poor signal, giving her only four words, 'Save the Villain,' befo...
Pei Zhiyu paused in his steps as he was about to leave.
Ye Jiu wasn't surprised, since his mental confusion had affected his spirit, and it was impossible for it to be resolved instantly.
He rubbed his head against Ye Jiu's shoulder like a dog, saying, "I missed you so much, I missed you so much. I behaved very well just now, will I get a reward?"
Ye Jiu smiled weakly and said to Pei Zhiyu, "Can you help me drag him away?"
Pei Zhiyu was naturally overjoyed. It was perfect that she took the initiative to let him take Su Huo away. He was still restraining himself when Su Huo actually made his move.
Someone as reckless as him is destined to be disliked. Pei Zhiyu remained indifferent and with a single chop, Su Huo was knocked unconscious.
Pei Zhiyu grabbed his arms and pulled him outside, apologizing to Ye Jiu, "I'm sorry, he couldn't control himself."
Ye Jiu stared at the calm Pei Zhiyu. Hmm, he had also been treated, so why was he fine while Su Huo remained the same?
Could it be... that there are individual differences?
Ye Jiu's gaze made Pei Zhiyu's ears turn red, but the corridor lights were dim, so Ye Jiu didn't notice.
"Get some rest. I'll talk to you again tomorrow."
Pei Zhiyu nodded. "Good night."
After closing the door, Ye Jiu pounced on the bed. The bed was soft and comfortable, and she even forgot about waiting for the delivery, quickly falling asleep.
Before going to sleep, Ye Jiu thought sluggishly that she seemed to have forgotten something... Oh well, she'd think about it tomorrow.
——
Coincidentally, Ye Jiu's other neighbor is Pei Zhiyu, and Su Huo lives next door to Pei Zhiyu.
Pei Zhiyu grabbed Su Huo by the collar, threw him inside, and then ignored him.
Back in his room, he pressed his hand against the wall next to Ye Jiu's room, hoping to hear something, but naturally, he heard nothing.
He sat down with his back against the wall, recalling the way Ye Jiu had looked at him just now. It was really strange; it was difficult to stay rational in front of her.
Pei Zhiyu's mental energy, which had just calmed down, began to stir again. He relaxed and decided not to resist. His mental energy leaked out, passed through the wall, and reached Ye Jiu's side.
He couldn't do anything clearly; he could only sense her presence using his mental power. But he felt at ease, and in that relaxed state, he fell asleep.
——
Huai Jin waited for Ye Jiu to video call him, afraid of missing it. He didn't dare to sleep all night. Not getting a reply made him feel like an ant on a hot pan. He could do nothing but feel anxious.
He sent a message every hour, but received no response for a long time.
The news about Moonfrost Star on the StarNet is a mix of truth and falsehood, but one thing is certain—the military sanatorium has been attacked.
Fortunately, there are no reports of casualties so far, which put Huaijin at ease a little, but he couldn't help but worry that someone might be suppressing the news.
I couldn't sleep all night, and the more I thought about it, the more terrified I became.
Yan An was woken up at five in the morning.
"Arrange for a spaceship to go to Moonfrost Star."
Huai Jin was extremely anxious, while Ye Jiu... was fast asleep.
Ye Jiu was woken up by the hotel's food delivery robot in the morning.
She opened the door and found that there were more than just robots outside. First, there was the deliveryman, and then Su Huo, who was squatting at the door.
Ye Jiu looked puzzled. "Huh? Is something wrong? If so, why didn't you knock?"
She picked up the breakfast the robot had given her and opened the door, gesturing for Su Huo to come in.
Su Huo was also very perceptive. He carried Ye Jiu's package inside and then closed the door with his leg.
Ye Jiu pulled out two chairs and sat down facing Su Huo. "So, what do you want so early in the morning?"
Seemingly finding it difficult to speak, Su Huo pursed his lips, wanting to say something but then stopped.
Ye Jiu took a bite of the steamed bun. Luxury hotels are indeed different; breakfast is served with food instead of nutritional drinks.
The taste is just not very appealing...
Ye Jiu, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, forced herself to finish her meal, while waiting for Su Huo to mentally prepare herself before speaking.
"I...I last night..."
Ye Jiu paused in her eating of the steamed bun. "I know you're not mentally stable."
Su Huo shook his head. "No, no, I was acting strangely yesterday, and it was the same last time... and only with you. Is it because... you treated me before...?"
Ye Jiu licked the crumbs from the corner of her mouth. "Maybe? I don't know, I haven't treated that many people."
Su Huo's heart tightened. "Besides us, have you treated anyone else?"
Ye Jiu didn't care at all and casually said, "I also have a younger brother, and he's much harder to treat than you guys."
Su Huo's mouth was dry, and he replied stiltedly, "Yes, really? Will he be like me?"
"What kind of feeling?" Ye Jiu thought for a moment. "Maybe? I grew up with him, so I can't sense it."
Su Huo forced a smile, which was truly enviable.
"But speaking of which, Pei Zhiyu is fine, so there are probably individual differences." Ye Jiu nodded. It's not necessarily because she helped with mental processing; who can say for sure about mental strength?
Su Huo didn't want to continue the topic, so he asked, "So, does that mean I'm cured?"
"Of course, why would you have such a question? Did you feel pain yesterday using your mental power?"
"No, it's just a bit unbelievable... So many people at the research institute couldn't figure out this disease... and you cured it in just a few minutes..."
Ye Jiu's eyes darted around. "I'm just naturally gifted, there's nothing I can do about it."
Remembering something, Ye Jiu stared directly at Su Huo, her eyes like sharp blades. "But remember to keep your word. If I'm betrayed, I'll destroy you before I get caught."
“Pei Zhiyu is the same.” Ye Jiu slightly curled the corners of her mouth. “Maybe you couldn’t sense it yesterday? In any case, I am invincible in the field of mental power.”
Su Huo shook his head. "No. I'm not that kind of person, and Pei Zhiyu is even less so."
Ye Jiu shrugged. "That would be best, of course."
"Oh right, it seems like your use of mechs is trending online. Someone will definitely come to check your mental abilities, right? You two can make up an excuse and communicate with each other to cover it up."
Su Huo hadn't had a chance to check the StarNet yet, and he was still a little stunned to be trending again after a year's absence. After realizing what was happening, he nodded and said, "I'll talk to Pei Zhiyu about it."
Ye Jiu wiped her hands with a tissue, lowered her head, and stopped looking at him. "Then everything's alright, right? You can go now."
Ye Jiu's cold expression made him feel choked up, though he couldn't explain why. He just felt a little wronged, but he didn't know what he felt wronged about.
Su Huo stood up, took a step to leave, and suddenly asked, "Do you still want to go to the Federal Military Academy's mecha soldier major?"
Ye Jiu raised an eyebrow, "You're going to write me a letter of recommendation?"
"If you still want to go, I'd be happy to write it for you."
Su Huo thought that if she entered the Federal Military Academy, he could apply to become a teacher there, and they would meet again, and more than once.
"Of course I still want to go. But you suggested it, so it's not like I'm repaying a favor."
Su Huo laughed out loud, "Of course, I offered to do it myself. I still owe you a favor."
Ye Jiu nodded, "Then bye-bye, see you another day."
Su Huo opened the door and met Huai Jin's gaze. Both of them froze.
