In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 88 Conditions
After hearing Yu Qingchuan's question, Qiao Yu first glanced at Lin Han in the distance, then suddenly smiled and said, "Everything can be discussed, but it's not convenient to talk here. Come to our car this afternoon and we can discuss it in detail."
Seeing Qiao Yu's kind smile, Yu Qingchuan suddenly shuddered and subconsciously refused, "No...it's not necessary. It's not a big deal anyway...it's okay if I don't do the research."
"Hey, don't be so quick to refuse." Qiao Yu smiled more "friendly", "We can talk about cooperation. After all, I also want to study it."
Yu Qingchuan is indeed a mutant, his beast-like instinct tells him that things are definitely not that simple.
He was talking to Qiao Yu last night, and there was no smile on Qiao Yu's face. Jiang Zhan looked like he wanted to tear him apart.
But now, Qiao Yu smiled at him so friendly, but Jiang Zhan didn't show any reaction at all!
There is a problem, absolutely there is a problem!
And Qiao Yu just said she wanted to study, but she didn't mention the object! She didn't say what she wanted to study!
This...isn't it that you want to study him?
Yu Qingchuan was screaming like a groundhog in his heart, and a drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead, but he still smiled warmly and said, "Uh... maybe not... After all, I can't just leave my car here, right?"
"That's easy." Cheng Sinian didn't give him a chance to refuse. He held Luo Zhenzhen with one hand and stretched out his other arm, putting it directly on his shoulder. He held him like a brother and walked towards the RV. "Why don't we ask the Lin family to send someone to drive your car later?"
Cheng Sinian also smiled with an "understanding" look on his face, but the strength in his hands did not allow him to break free at all.
Qiao Yu picked up the injured wolf cub and quickly followed Jiang Zhan.
Jiang Zhan glanced dimly at the wolf cub curled up in Qiao Yu's arms, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.
But considering that the wolf was a female, he finally said nothing and followed Qiao Yu back to the car in silence.
The Lin family was a little confused when they saw this scene.
But adhering to the principle that "whatever Boss Jiang and Boss Qiao do is reasonable", everyone quickly went about their business.
Without even Cheng Sinian's instructions, Deng Minglang very tactfully went over and asked Cheng Sinian if he needed them to help Yu Qingchuan drive.
Finally, I got a positive response from Cheng Sinian, plus a word of thanks.
The two sides reached a consensus.
Deng Minglang was very happy, Cheng Sinian was also very satisfied, only Yu Qingchuan was very depressed.
After the convoy finished chopping firewood and got back on the road, Yu Qingchuan was surrounded by Jiang Zhan, Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen and put on a "three-court trial".
Cheng Sinian expressed deep regret that he could not participate in the "interrogation" because he had to drive, but he could only try his best to listen.
"Mr. Yu, I believe you also know why we pulled you here?" Qiao Yu asked Yu Qingchuan softly while applying medicine to the wolf cub.
"You...want to ask about that smell?"
He who knows the current situation is a hero. When you are under someone else's roof, you should bow your head when you should.
"That's right." Qiao Yu said straight to the point with a serious expression, "Tell me, what kind of smell do you smell? What's so special about it?"
Jiang Zhan had set up a mental barrier when he first got in the car, so Qiao Yu had no concerns about speaking now.
Yu Qingchuan had no intention of hiding it from them. He frowned upon hearing this and tried to think of how to describe it. "It's just a delicate fragrance, actually. But how should I put it... It feels like when you're injured and smell the disinfectant in the hospital, it makes you feel at ease."
"I smelled it outside your house when we first met. But at that time I thought it was the scent of someone in the team, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
But later on the road, that smell disappeared.
Only when Qiao Yu planted the plant next to the car could he smell the faint fragrance.
"That's why I told you those things last night." Yu Qingchuan's brain was working rapidly. "If you can't smell it, then it means that only mutant beasts and mutants who have become half-mutated beasts can smell this smell."
"Maybe... this plant might be something like the tranquilizing grass from the mutant beast world."
Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
If it was just to calm the nerves it wouldn't be too bad.
As long as it doesn't smell like some delicious food.
Yu Qingchuan was actually really curious about the origin of this plant.
You know, after the end of the world, he has seen so many plants, and they only make him feel dangerous.
He hadn't felt this kind of peace and security for a long time.
But after opening his mouth, Yu Qingchuan still didn't dare to ask the question.
Forget it, life is more important.
These people are not good people, not to mention Jiang Zhan is staring at him with a covetous look.
Who knows if he would get into trouble with Qiao Yu again if he talked to him again.
Yu Qingchuan sighed silently in his heart.
He admitted that Qiao Yu was indeed very pretty, but he really couldn't afford such a "dominant flower".
Qiao Yu noticed that he was hesitant to speak, but did not say anything immediately.
She first carefully applied medicine to both of the wolf cub's hind legs and bandaged them up, then looked up at Yu Qingchuan, "I do have a lot of those vines here, it's not impossible to give you one to study..."
Yu Qingchuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
But before he could be happy for long, he heard Qiao Yu say, "But I have three conditions."
A trace of caution flashed across Yu Qingchuan's eyes. "What are the conditions?"
"First, you must never tell anyone about our affairs. Even if someone asks, you have to keep it secret for us."
Yu Qingchuan nodded. "That's easy. I can promise you. I promised before that I would not reveal your special abilities to anyone. Not even my parents knew about it. So you can rest assured on this point. As long as I have promised something, I will never break my promise."
"Um."
Qiao Yu had no doubt about this.
Putting aside his personality, just talking about the principle of keeping his word, Yu Qingchuan is indeed a gentleman.
"What about the other two conditions?" Yu Qingchuan asked impatiently.
"The second condition is that you cannot harm the vine while studying it, and you must carry it with you." Qiao Yu smiled slightly. "In other words, you can only quietly nurture it and observe it."
"..." Yu Qingchuan did not agree to this point immediately, but continued to ask: "What about the third point?"
"The third point is that no matter where you are in the future, I hope you can work for us and share all your research results with us."
“…”What’s the difference between this and selling yourself?
He sold himself to study a vine. Does he look that stupid?
Qiao Yu noticed the silence on his face and added, "But don't worry, in return, we will try our best to meet all your reasonable needs in the future. Even after arriving at the survivor base in City G and completing Dr. Yu's commission, we will still do our best to protect your safety."
"What do you think?"
When Yu Qingchuan heard this, his eyebrows twitched slightly.
This reward... sounds very tempting.
