On the other side, Luo Xing, who had said goodbye to Ye Nianzhen and the others and left, felt something was off, as if he had forgotten something.
He thought and thought, and finally remembered that he had attacked the person's wrist with ice-type abilities!
That person's wrist must be frostbitten... It's all his fault for being so impulsive.
Feeling uneasy, Luo Xing turned back and bought some frostbite ointment at the pharmacy on the way, intending to apologize.
Although he disliked the other party, he wouldn't have gone so far as to injure them. Luo Xing was a person with principles, and he wouldn't have done that if he hadn't thought the other party was going to hurt Ye Nianzhen.
After walking a few steps back, thinking that Ye Nianzhen and the others might have already left, I found the two of them in a small garden nearby.
They were discussing something, and they were quite close together, so Luo Xing couldn't hear their conversation from that distance.
He felt a pang of jealousy. Ye Nianzhen's friends abroad seemed closer to him than someone he'd only known for a month! How infuriating!
But he still stepped forward and handed over the ointment.
Ye Nianzhen and Qin Shi were both a little surprised to see him return.
Luo Xing said somewhat awkwardly, "Look, didn't I hurt your hand? I bought you some ointment as an apology."
Qin Shi looked at his wrist in confusion, but there was no mark or pain there.
Luo Xing followed his gaze and was immediately stunned: "What? Are you made of iron?"
Qin Shi didn't understand, but still answered, "I have a good physique. I've been strong since I was a child and I'm not afraid of pain."
Luo Xing was speechless. Was this something that required no fear of pain?
He had already experimented with it before. The ice he could condense was extremely cold, reaching minus thirty or fifty degrees Celsius in an instant. Even a brief touch would leave some red marks.
Ye Nianzhen also examined Qin Shi's arm. The tentacles were hard and had a very high muscle density. Considering that Luo Xing seemed to have also gained some of his superpowers from the apocalypse, it was possible that Qin Shi, or Qin Qiu, had also awakened some of his physical enhancements.
That explains why being hit by Luo Xing's ice didn't hurt or itch.
As for Luo Xing not telling her about his abilities, she didn't think it was a big deal. Perhaps he hadn't found the right opportunity yet, or maybe he had other considerations.
But with her keen senses and understanding of Luo Xing, she had already guessed it.
So now, she can completely understand the incomprehensible exchanges between the two of them.
This might be a case of those involved being confused while bystanders see things clearly!
It was almost dinnertime, and Ye Nianzhen thought that since Luo Xing had come over, everyone should have dinner together. It just so happened that Qin Shi came from a wealthy family and was quite particular about food, having been influenced by his parents' tastes. So everyone agreed that Qin Shi should find a place to treat them.
Qin Shi had no objections. He had originally planned to invite Ye Nianzhen to dinner, and now that Luo Xing was also there, it didn't matter.
So the three of them left the small garden together, and Qin Shi led them to a restaurant with rather exquisite decor.
The restaurant had an elegant ambiance and attentive service, so the three of them found a seat by the window.
When ordering, Qin Shi generously ordered a large table of dishes, all of which were the restaurant's signature dishes.
Looking at the table full of delicacies, Luo Xing couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He hadn't expected Qin Shi to be so rich and so generous.
However, he didn't think much of it. Since they were treating him, he decided to eat to his heart's content.
During the meal, the three ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was fairly harmonious.
There was just a small incident: just as they were finishing their meal, someone walked into the restaurant and immediately noticed their table.
The person seemed to recognize one of them and walked straight over. Ye Nianzhen raised an eyebrow when she saw the person's appearance. Isn't that Lei Lang?
The man stopped over to Qin Shi and greeted him, saying, "You said you were coming to ask me about someone, and I waited for you all afternoon, only to find you eating here!"
He glanced at Ye Nianzhen and Luo Xing, and became even more furious: "You even have good friends with you!"
Qin Shi felt somewhat helpless, but it was the truth, and he couldn't argue with it, so he simply nodded and said, "Yes, I've already found it, so there's no need to bother you."
Lei Lang was furious, but he just laughed and said, "Fine, fine, you're such a difficult young master to please. I won't say anything else, you're treating me to this meal!"
Qin Shi agreed: "No problem."
Then Lei Lang looked at Ye Nianzhen and Luo Xing, his eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny: "Who are these two?"
Qin Shi quickly introduced them: "This is Ye Nianzhen, and this is Luo Xing. They are both my friends."
Upon hearing this, Lei Lang nodded as a greeting. Then, he looked at Qin Shi with a hint of mockery and whispered, "I didn't expect that, Young Master Qin, you've already made new friends since you came back from abroad, and they're so beautiful."
Qin Shi said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, we're just ordinary friends."
Lei Lang didn't believe his nonsense: "Alright, alright, I won't disturb your meal anymore, but Qin Shi, don't forget what you promised me."
Qin Shi could only nod in agreement and then saw Lei Lang off.
After Lei Lang left, Luo Xing asked curiously, "Who was this person?"
Qin Shi explained, "He is a friend of mine. His family is also in business and has some dealings with my family."
Ye Nianzhen seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that Lei Lang had not been affected by those memories.
Or was he less affected? After all, everyone's attachment to the past is different.
