Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Pretending to be pitiful
Three o'clock in the morning.
Ye Ning immediately looked at the bracelet.
There were indeed several more messages from Hou Lin. It was obvious that he had been very restrained, only daring to send her a message every half hour.
Ye Ning replied as she said, "I came out secretly. No one knows I'm in the ocean. I'd better take them back directly."
"Go back now, it's morning."
Silos took a step forward, his tall body leaning forward slightly, closer to her, and his slender fingers gently hooked her fingers and shook them.
"We'll be coming to the ocean in a few days, and since Long Qi is awake, we might as well just stay here."
"I told you I had something urgent to do, so I brought you here overnight." Silos' eyes were filled with longing and reluctance, his voice low and gentle, "I also want to stay with you for a while."
His long, dark blue hair, as thick as seaweed, spread out behind him, making his skin look even more crystal clear.
Silos has always been extremely concerned about his image. Whenever you see him, he is always in the most perfect state, and every move he makes seems to be carefully crafted.
But he now looked exhausted and couldn't hide it. His eyes, which were once as bright as stars, were now bloodshot, and a hint of fatigue could be seen at the corners of his eyes.
Ye Ning suddenly felt a little guilty.
He had been busy with Long Qi's affairs for a while now, and because he couldn't let anyone else know, he had to do a lot of things himself. Tonight, he had even spent several hours picking her up.
Ye Ning knew that Xilos was willing to do this because she was the one who asked him to do it.
In any case, she was very grateful to him for his great help.
Ye Ning quickly found the seeds of the red apple rose in the mall. She turned her palm over, and a pure red, gorgeous red apple rose immediately appeared in her hand.
She infused the rose with her own special powers and handed it to Siros. "Here you go."
She probably knew that Silos liked these bright colors.
Even though he often changes his accessories, the ones he wears most are various red coral products.
He also really suits the warm red.
Xilos looked at the rose, then looked up at Ye Ning, his eyes full of surprise and joy.
"This flower is very beautiful, I like it very much." His fingers gently touched the petals, as if he was touching an extremely precious treasure.
Ye Ning: "Thank you so much for Long Qi's matter. But I still have some things to deal with in Gaojiang District. I will come to you after I finish them."
Silos's expression paused slightly, the joy on his face froze, and his expression seemed a little hurt.
He looked at Ye Ning and said, "This is the first time you gave me flowers."
"Is it because of Long Qi that you gave it to me?"
The originally pleasant voice now had a hint of pity in it.
Long Qi's eyes had been fixed on Xiluo Si's fingers hooked around Ye Ning's. Hearing this, he slowly raised his eyes and looked towards Xiluo Si.
The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, but the expression on Siros's face remained unchanged.
Long Qi stood there quietly, and the atmosphere around him became colder.
The comradeship that the two had developed a few days ago while working together to kill pollutants dissipated a lot in an instant.
Ye Ning didn't notice their eye contact and responded, "It's to thank you for helping me."
Long Qi looked at Xiluo Si and said in a cold tone: "No need to thank him, we have discussed the terms before."
As early as when he and Xilos came to the ocean, Long Qi had renegotiated the terms with Xilos.
They all knew that with Ye Ning's character, once Xilos helped without regrets, Ye Ning would definitely take his help to heart and compensate him in other ways.
Ye Ning is such a person. As long as others are kind to her sincerely, she will reciprocate with double sincerity and kindness.
Siros nodded and held Ye Ning's hand again. "Long Qi's affairs have nothing to do with you. I am willing to help him in this way because I have negotiated the terms with him in advance."
"So you don't need to thank me for what happened to him."
Of course, if Ye Ning hadn't come to talk to him, he would definitely not agree.
After all, Long Qi’s strength should not be underestimated, and now it seems that his strength is even more unfathomable.
If it weren't for Ye Ning, he would never do such a thing that would put himself in potential danger.
Ye Ning didn't know what other agreement there was between them.
But this did make her feel a little relieved.
She looked at the two of them, then let go of Silos's hand, "Okay, we should go back."
Xiluos looked at her again with affection, "Ye Ning."
Ye Ning walked directly to the hatch and said, "Let's go. I've been busy all day and cultivating phytoplankton at night. I'm really tired now."
Not to mention that she herself had forgotten that she hadn't stopped the entire day.
Thinking of this, Ye Ning suddenly felt physically tired.
She yawned, and her eyes showed deep fatigue.
"I'll hold you."
They both spoke at the same time.
Ye Ning thought about it and decided to choose Xilos, after all, he swam faster.
In fact, although Xilos looked pitiful, Ye Ning knew very well that Xilos was pretending to be pitiful in front of her, because everyone now knew that she would only respond to soft words and not to hard ones.
But she really bought into it.
But if she doesn't want to, soft or hard is the same to her.
Xilos carefully locked the rose in the water ball, pinned it to his waist, and then picked up Ye Ning.
On the way back, Xilos was in a very happy mood and talked to Ye Ning from time to time.
His voice was so nice that Ye Ning became more and more sleepy. At first, she could still respond to him simply, but later she lost consciousness.
In the last moment before she lost consciousness, Ye Ning was thinking that Silos must have the effect of helping her sleep...
When everyone returned to the warship, Hou Lin and Cang Chen saw them holding Ye Ning and immediately rushed over.
"Ye Ning, what's wrong with her? Why is she holding—"
Xilos and Long Qi signaled them to keep quiet, and Long Qi even used his mental power to seal Ye Ning's ears.
Siros whispered, "She's asleep."
Hou Lin and Cang Chen came over and looked at Ye Ning carefully. They confirmed that she was unharmed and was really just asleep, then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Xilos put Ye Ning into the room, pulled the quilt for her, and covered her with a layer of his mental power before closing the door and walking out.
His mental powers had a calming and soothing effect, which helped her sleep better.
By the time he closed the door and came out, Hou Lin could no longer hold it in.
"What on earth is going on that you have to call her over in the middle of the night?"
"Do you know what time she gets up every day? She's busy all day, and when you told her something urgent happened at night, she spent a few hours cultivating plants and preparing a few boxes of green stones for you. The only time she can rest during this time is when she eats..."
Hou Lin grew angrier as he spoke, but he didn't dare raise his voice. He just spoke a long string of words in a low voice.
In fact, Hou Lin felt more helpless and distressed than angry. He watched Ye Ning work so hard every day, but he couldn't help. This feeling was like cutting flesh with a blunt knife.
Long Qi: "It's my fault."
Siros did not argue. He listened patiently to Hou Lin's words before saying, "I'll have someone send you back now. Let her have a good rest tomorrow."
Hou Lin's anger immediately dissipated. "That's not what I meant. I just want you to tell her in advance if you have anything to do next time. This way, she can take a break during the day."
After saying this, Hou Lin felt like he was forcing someone to do something against their will. After all, the situation was so sudden that no one could have predicted it.
He added, "Forget it, what nonsense am I talking about. Let's try to plant more plants so that she can worry less."
Silos just stood there, and only after the warship completely disappeared from his sight did he lower his head and touch the red rose at his waist.
The petals of the rose have a velvety texture and are soft to the touch, but most importantly, they are filled with the plant scent of lemon. Silos picked up the rose and sniffed it gently at the tip of his nose.
Inside the warship, Hou Lin's mind was originally on Ye Ning, and he didn't pay much attention to Long Qi.
But now, Ye Ning was sleeping in the room, and they were all guarding the door. His attention finally fell on Long Qi.
Hou Lin didn't dare to look too obviously, and just glanced at him from time to time.
Long Qi didn't say anything, but in the next moment, he met Hou Lin's eyes.
Hou Lin smiled awkwardly, "Maybe it's been a while since we last met, but I feel like you seem a little different."
"Cangchen, what do you think?"
Cang Chen also nodded.
He discovered it earlier than Hou Lin, and Long Qi's temperament had changed a lot.
He couldn't explain the reason for this change, but he always felt the urge to surrender inadvertently.
Although I was afraid of Long Qi before, I only felt this way when he deliberately released his pressure.
Hou Lin scratched his head, and finally looked at Long Qi openly, "Have you improved your mental strength?"
Long Qi: "Yeah."
Hou Lin: "Is it because of those pollutants?"
Long Qi: "Yes."
It was indeed because of this reason. Come to think of it, they cleaned up so many pollutants, so you can imagine how fierce the battle was.
There is no more pollution tide now, but Long Qi can still improve his mental strength, which must have cost him a huge price and made great efforts.
If we really talk about model workers, Long Qi is not much behind.
But now that Long Qi has become stronger, they can feel more at ease.
Ye Ning had a good sleep, and even her punctual biological clock did not disturb her rest.
So when she opened her eyes and found that she was back in the familiar room and it was already afternoon, she was a little surprised.
She sat up from the bed contentedly, stretched herself, and felt the relaxation of her body and the return of her strength.
After a good sleep, your mood will become very good and you will feel the tranquility and peace of your body.
Ye Ning thought of Long Qi's transparent golden egg again.
Little Mushroom said that it must be an unhatched spirit. Spirits not only improve the host's physical strength, intelligence, and perception, but also assist in defense and attack, and some can even evolve continuously.
It always wants to get close to her because it wants to absorb her supernatural powers?
Ye Ning always felt that the appearance of Long Qi's spirit body had a lot to do with her supernatural power. After all, she really spent a lot of supernatural power on it.
Does that mean that if she gives it a little more supernatural power, it will be able to break out of its shell?
