Chapter 29 Awakening

Jiang Zhan stepped out of the room and first looked at Cheng Sinian. Seeing that Cheng Sinian was still asleep, he took two more boxes of fried rice from the space and placed them on the bedside table in Cheng Sinian's room, then returned to the room to continue guarding Qiao Yu.

Jiang Zhan glanced out the window. There was no trace of the red rain. The sky was gloomy. There was no one outside, no other creatures. He just felt that the trees around him seemed to have grown taller. Jiang Zhan's head still hurt, so he didn't look any further. He returned to the bed, gently hugged Qiao Yu, and placed her head on the crook of her neck. He kissed her contentedly, and then fell asleep again.

Jiang Zhan woke up again at eight o'clock in the evening. He opened his eyes when the temperature in the room began to drop. He touched Qiao Yu's forehead and found that the fever had indeed subsided.

The temperature inside the room was so low that a thin layer of frost formed on the floor. Jiang Zhan had assumed Qiao Yu's body would also be hypothermic due to her ice-based abilities, but when he reached out and touched her, he discovered her hands and feet were actually warmer than his.

"Hmm..." The sleeping beauty in my arms let out a moan and slowly opened her eyes.

Jiang Zhan leaned forward and kissed her eyes, "Baby, you're awake."

"Yeah." Qiao Yu rubbed his chin, his voice a little hoarse, "When did you wake up?"

"In the afternoon." Jiang Zhan replied.

The frost in the room quietly dissipated, and the temperature rose again. Qiao Yu was very hungry. After lying down for a while, he struggled to sit up and took out the food from the space. He first stuffed a box into Jiang Zhan's hand, and then started eating.

Jiang Zhan didn't say anything, he just sat beside the bed and ate with her.

Jiang Zhan kept glancing at Qiao Yu while he ate. Seeing Qiao Yu wolfing down her food with puffy cheeks, he thought she was so adorable that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at! I'm hungry..." Qiao Yu blushed at his laughter and felt a little aggrieved, thinking that he was laughing at her ability to eat.

Jiang Zhan leaned over and kissed her shiny lips again, "I didn't laugh at you. When I first woke up, I ate two big boxes of fried rice."

Qiao Yu smiled when he heard that, then continued to eat. He ate a pie and two bowls of noodle soup in one breath before stopping.

"Are you full?" Jiang Zhan wiped her mouth with a tissue.

"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded and looked at him, "Where's Cheng Sinian? Is he awake?"

Jiang Zhan shook his head and gently stroked her hand. "When I went to see him this afternoon, he wasn't awake yet. I don't know now."

Qiao Yu nodded and was about to continue speaking when he heard a loud "bang".

Jiang Zhan heard the noise and told Qiao Yu to get some rest, intending to go over and take a look. Qiao Yu shook his head, took his hand and got out of bed. Although he knew that the loud noise was caused by Cheng Sinian's ability, Qiao Yu was really curious about what it looked like when the fire ability was just awakened, so he had to go over and take a look.

As Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu stepped out of the room, they smelled a very strong burnt smell. Cheng Sinian's door was closed, but black smoke was coming out from the gap.

Jiang Zhan held Qiao Yu in his arms. Wherever they passed, a breeze blew away the black smoke, and it didn't touch the two of them at all.

Jiang Zhan walked over and pushed open the door, but didn't go in. He just stood at the door with his arm around Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but laugh when she saw the state of the house. The room was ablaze with charred remains, and most of the furniture was destroyed. Even the bed had been burned in two. The loud noise must have come from the bed breaking apart. Fortunately, the fire didn't reach the roof and beams, otherwise she and Jiang Zhan would have been searching for Cheng Sinian in the rubble.

Cheng Sinian himself was in a state of disgrace that Qiao Yu had never seen before. His clothes were pierced with several large burn holes, and his exposed skin looked like a blazing iron, a fiery red. He was standing in front of the wardrobe, putting out the remaining flames with his hands, trying to save his clothes.

Qiao Yu had long guessed that the fire-type alien might be in a miserable state when it first awakened, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable.

Cheng Sinian finally put out the fire and took out a piece of clothing to put on. Then he heard Qiao Yu's increasingly unbridled laughter. He sighed and said helplessly, "Stop laughing. It's already this late, and you're still gloating!" Then he glanced at the two boxes of fried rice on the bedside table, which had been completely burnt beyond recognition. He felt powerless and said, "One of you two can give me something to eat. I'm starving..."

Qiao Yu took out three boxes of buns from the space and gave them to him. Cheng Sinian immediately opened the lid and stuffed them into his mouth like a hungry wolf.

Qiao Yu took out a few bottles of fruit water from the space and placed them on the half-burned table. "Remember to drink this after dinner. This is the fruit water I mentioned. It's good for your body, but there will be excrement. Don't worry, just wash it off."

Cheng Sinian wolfed down his bun, barely managing to take a look, then nodded vaguely, "Okay, got it."

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Jiang Zhan took Qiao Yu in his arms and prepared to go back to the room. Before leaving, he said lightly: "Change your room and have a good rest. You will be busy tomorrow."

The two returned to the room, and Qiao Yu was carried back to the bed by him. She looked up and asked him, "What are you going to do tomorrow?"

Jiang Zhan kissed her forehead and explained, "There seem to be a few alien species at the door."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "You do have psychic abilities!" Although Jiang Zhan, as a wind-type psychic, could indeed sense distant situations through the wind, as a newly awakened wind-type psychic, his abilities were not yet sufficient to support such detection. Therefore, this perception could only be the mental detection unique to psychic psychics.

Jiang Zhan smiled and didn't refute. He just looked at her and asked softly, "Baby? How are you feeling? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Qiao Yu shook his head, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable. Well... I'm a little happy. I feel much more at ease after my superpowers came back." After all, these were the things he relied on for survival in his previous life. Now that he had them again, Qiao Yu felt only familiarity and happiness.

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, she saw Jiang Zhan staring at her without saying a word, his eyes dark and filled with pain. Suddenly feeling uneasy, she touched his face and asked in a trembling voice, "Zhan... what's wrong with you?" Could something have gone wrong during his awakening?

Jiang Zhan continued to stare at her, but suddenly he moved closer, his tall nose touching hers, his hot breath blowing on her face.

Qiao Yu felt the heat of his breath and instinctively flinched. But when she looked into Jiang Zhan's eyes again, they were no longer filled with the emotion she had just felt, only with burning desire. Qiao Yu blushed and stammered, "I haven't showered yet."

Jiang Zhan chuckled and stepped forward, "Wash later."

He reached out and tore open the thin cloth on her body, attacking her full body, which soon made her unable to resist. She could only cling to his strong arms weakly and let him take advantage of her.
