In the laboratory

Jia Renyi is showing Leng Fengmei his research findings.

"Amei, look at this. These are the two buckets of water you brought back. After I purified them, this is all that's left!"

Leng Fengmei looked at the glass bottle, which was only 500ml, but the liquid inside was gleaming. "What's the purpose of this?"

"Active cells, to put it simply, are for delaying aging and beautifying the skin! And the effects are amazing. Taking them internally can even enhance physical fitness!" After saying this, Jia Renyi looked deeply at Leng Fengmei and lowered his voice, saying, "If someone with the right intentions discovers something like this, they'll probably go crazy fighting over it!"

Leng Fengmei also knew how precious this thing was. Thinking about that unpolluted place, it was like being isolated from the world. "Ayi, tell me, how many places in this world are still unaffected by meteorites?"

"It is said that 80 percent of our Great Dasha Kingdom has been affected, while less than 50 percent of the world has remained unaffected!" Jia Renyi said leisurely.

"And the mutated tree root you gave me last time, it clearly showed signs of life, just like a human limb. It also had veins, only they were thin and not very obvious!"

Seeing that Leng Feng was listening intently, she continued, "And the mutated beast crystal core you gave me yesterday, I discovered that it actually contains an extra substance that can alter genes!"

Sometimes I wonder, at this rate of development, will they one day evolve into humans, or other highly intelligent life forms?

"Ah Yi, do you think that everyone is relying on crystal cores for healing now? If they use them too much, won't they turn into something else?"

Looking at the woman in front of him, Jia Renyi couldn't help but chuckle at her wildly imaginative expression. "If she's going to change, it'll be for the better. She definitely won't turn into an animal!" He then gently pinched her cheek.

Leng Fengmei blushed, whether from being pinched or... was unclear.

"Ayi, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. You should get some rest too!" With that, he ran off.

Jia Renyi looked at the woman who seemed to be fleeing in panic and sighed inwardly. Who would have thought that the fearsome Commander Leng would be afraid to face his own feelings?

It seems I still need to work harder for my own happiness!

He thought to himself: How can I temporarily block out divine sense perception? It seems I'll have to make Xiao Zhiqiang suffer again...

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. Now he thought this person wasn't bad either, at least he had a strong will to live!

Since returning home, Xiao Zhiqiang's ears have been burning, and he has no choice but to apply cold water to them.

Jia Yi got angry when he saw his boss like this. "Boss," he said, "why did you provoke Professor Jia? Don't you know he's... well, he's someone else's favorite now!" His eyes flickered.

"What nonsense are you spouting? He's not worthy of my master. You're just deluding yourself!" Xiao Zhiqiang said indignantly.

"No matter what, it can't withstand constant dripping!" Jia Yi said with a knowing look.

Xiao Zhiqiang clearly disagreed with Jia Yi's statement, since only the two of them knew that their master could not be moved by emotions.

But he's right about one thing: for my own safety, I should take the initiative to make amends. Ugh! What a frustrating life!

The next morning, Leng Fengmei got up and took the child to Zhou Zhan's place. Before she could even say anything, Zhou Zhan took the child and left in a great hurry!

Knowing they wouldn't finish training for a while, she wanted to go back and figure out how to block divine sense...

Just as Leng Fengmei was meditating peacefully, Xiao Zhiqiang's urgent voice rang in her mind—

"Master, Song Chengyang has arrived. He's in the reception room and says he wants to see you."

"Oh, I see," I thought to myself: They're probably here to see the kids.

When Leng Fengmei saw Song Chengyang again, she was surprised to find that he had changed so much. He used to be gentle and honest, and his first impression was that he was not fond of interacting with people.

But the Song Chengyang before me, though his face was etched with the marks of hardship, had an even sharper and more resolute look in his eyes!

"The children have gone for their morning exercise with Commander Zhou. You'll have to wait a while." Leng Fengmei was surprised to find herself so calm when facing this man again!

"I... I didn't just come to see the child, I also wanted to see you," Song Chengyang quickly said.

"I'm fine, thank you!" Leng Fengmei said with a smile.

Song Chengyang stared at Leng Fengmei, speechless for a long time. "She has changed. She has become someone she doesn't even recognize. Before, when she was angry, she would get angry at me, but it was always full of concern!"

Now, however, there was a greater sense of politeness and distance, and Song Chengyang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"Chengyang, what's wrong with you?" Leng Fengmei noticed something was wrong with him at a glance.

"I'm fine. I wanted to tell you that I've joined the superhuman team in the survivor settlement, and I... I'm now the captain." Song Chengyang said, feeling a little ashamed. Although his position was insignificant compared to hers, he still wanted to tell her.

"Oh! Congratulations! I heard that people with superpowers are treated quite well over there!" Leng Fengmei was genuinely happy for him. After all, he was the father of her children.

"I should be the one thanking you. I did something wrong to you all, yet you still helped me without holding a grudge," Song Chengyang said, lowering his head.

"Chengyang, it's all in the past, don't take it to heart!" Leng Fengmei sincerely advised.

For some reason, Song Chengyang particularly missed the old days. Back then, he thought she had a bad temper and would often lose her temper over trivial matters. But now he realized that it was because she shouldered everything at home by herself, and he had taken it for granted!

Just like myself right now...

"Mei, I..." He came to Leng Fengmei's side and knelt on one knee. "I know we can never be together again. I'm not worthy. I'm sorry!"
