He knew how powerful the explosives Xin Xin made were, and he knew she wanted to improve them, but he never thought that Xin Xin would also be in danger.
How could he be so confident that Xin Xin could succeed? Xin Xin is a person, not a god. How could she possibly be able to handle everything with ease?
She will also be in danger, and she will also be afraid! It was his arrogance that ruined Xin Xin.
Li Xiaochen was immersed in severe self-blame, his eyes constantly searching for someone in the room filled with black smoke, afraid of seeing a scene that would cause him unbearable pain.
But he didn't see Xin Xin after looking through everything, which made him even sadder.
"Xin Xin! Where...where are you? Come back!"
Li Xiaochen stumbled and fell to the ground, heartbroken. His Xin Xin…!
Li Xiaochen thought Lin Yuxin had been blown up, and that her body had been completely destroyed. He sat on the ground and cried his heart out.
"Ah Chen? Cough cough! What are you doing?"
A crisp sound rang out, followed by a few coughs.
Li Xiaochen paused in his crying, a hint of surprise appearing on his handsome face, his tears shining brightly.
Is it...a hallucination? How could he hear Xin Xin's voice?
Li Xiaochen was only confused for a moment. He wasn't a brainless person. He immediately realized that Xin Xin might be alright. She really had been speaking just now, so he quickly raised his head and looked towards the direction of the sound.
There, crouching in the corner, was a figure completely black, even its face was black. Only its two eyes were white, and it was blinking, looking at him with a puzzled expression!
"Xin Xin?"
Li Xiaochen took a cautious step forward and spoke carefully.
"Waaaaah! Ah Chen!! Please help me check if I'm disfigured! I'm so scared!! Waaaaah!"
When Lin Yuxin saw Li Xiaochen walking towards her, she immediately burst into tears, feeling wronged.
Tears streamed down his cheeks, mixing with the black ash on his face, making him look utterly wretched.
Seeing this, Li Xiaochen, who should have been able to regain what he had lost, hesitated to approach. But when he heard Xin Xin crying, his heart ached, fearing that she might actually get hurt.
Finally, Li Xiaochen sighed helplessly, walked forward, helped Lin Yuxin up, held her in his arms, and comforted her softly. The trembling in his hands betrayed his fear just now.
"Alright! Stop crying. You're not disfigured, you're perfectly fine. Even if you were, I'd still want you!"
"Waaaaah!! My face is ruined! I can still feel a blurry mess on my face, and it hurts a little!!!"
Lin Yuxin touched her face and said aggrievedly.
As she touched it, it became even harder to distinguish whether the face had a nose or a mouth.
Just now, at the last moment, she thought she had succeeded, so during the final experiment, she deliberately stayed far away.
As it turned out, the newly upgraded grenade exploded, filling the entire room with black smoke. In no time, it was completely dark, and she suddenly couldn't see anything. She could only crouch in a corner to hide.
She initially thought her research had failed, but now she strongly suspects that what just exploded wasn't a grenade, but a smoke grenade! Or rather, a modified version of a smoke grenade.
A regular smoke grenade releases smoke when you pull the pin, but this one requires a dramatic explosion – it's really a disgrace to the world of explosives!
"Alright, sweetie, stop crying, come with me!"
Li Xiaochen couldn't bear to see her cry anymore, so he coaxed her, took her hand, and led her out the door. They walked to the newly appeared riverbank, and after looking at her, he suppressed a smile and said softly:
"If Xin Xin doesn't believe me, she can see for herself!"
Lin Yuxin, with her head of jet-black hair, glanced at him questioningly. Just as she was about to look down, Zhizhi ran over and excitedly circled around her.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Wow! Woman, you've been working in a coal mine?! You've gotten so dark! You look ugly!!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's expression changed. No, even if Lin Yuxin's expression were to change to a different color palette, no one would be able to tell the difference.
She quickly looked down at the river and saw that the woman in the river had a dark face, with only her eyes showing.
Her eyes blinked rapidly, and just as Lin Yuxin was about to open her mouth, her white teeth made it impossible for her to open her eyes wide.
"Ah!! Who is this person?"
Lin Yuxin cried out in disbelief, but when she turned around, she saw Li Xiaochen's "you guessed it" expression and knew that the dark figure was her!
Waaaaah!! Her image is completely ruined!!!
Lin Yuxin was on the verge of tears!
Zizi was still mercilessly mocking her from the side, which made Lin Yuxin so angry that she wanted to throw it out of the space. This was also what she was threatening.
"You stinking bug, how dare you laugh at me! If you laugh at me again, I'll throw you out of this space! I'll banish you!"
Lin Yuxin was already in a bad mood, and being bullied and mocked by a bug made her even more angry. She stood up and yelled at the bug.
"Squeak!"
Woman, you're getting angry!
As Zhizhi spoke, he ran off and disappeared in no time.
Lin Yuxin was left looking at Li Xiaochen's pitiful appearance, and then she cried out:
"Ah Chen, my image is ruined! I look so ugly now!! I'm too ashamed to show my face to anyone! Waaah!"
"No, the Prince will love you no matter what. Alright, go take a shower first, then check if you're injured anywhere else! When you come out, you'll be the lovely and beautiful Regent's Consort, Princess Pingning Lin Yuxin again!"
Li Xiaochen patted her head, not minding the dirt, and comforted her before urging her to wash up.
"oh!"
Lin Yuxin nodded with a wronged expression, thinking that Li Xiaochen was right. She wasn't someone who cared much about her appearance, so she stopped dawdling and went straight to the hot springs on the mountain.
