Chapter 15, Take good care of her
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran missed her original world more and more - although she was an orphan in that world and had no relatives, everyone in the orphanage where she grew up was very gentle... It was a very warm world, completely different from here.
Si Xu, who was very sensitive to emotions, naturally felt Jiang Ran's sudden low mood, but since the girl didn't say anything, he had no intention of asking further questions.
After walking along the flat road for a while, a convoy parked on the side of the road came into view.
"Professor Si!" The team members who stayed behind to keep watch also saw him and immediately came over to him. "Why are you here?"
"Come and take a look." Si Xu glanced at the night watchmen and said, "Will there be a shift change in the second half of the night?"
"Yes, Captain Gu has already arranged it."
"Okay." There was a slight noise behind him. Si Xu frowned slightly and lowered his voice, "Be careful at night..."
Si Xu came over specifically to remind them to be careful... Everyone in the team was smart and they immediately understood what he meant.
"Understood, Professor Si."
…
"The man named Si Xu took the girl to the motorcade, and then wandered around the village." The speaker was a boy with dyed blond hair. He was not very old, but he spoke with a mature manner. "Boss, I saw that girl. She's really beautiful... But the girls in their team are all pretty..."
As he said this, he showed a lewd smile.
"Several of them are psychics." Lei Tang sneered, "I heard they came from Xiling Base. They must be a professionally trained psychic team."
"Isn't it difficult to deal with?"
"Haha, you're scared already?" Lei Tang stood up and patted the boy's shoulder, saying proudly, "Have you forgotten how many psychics we've dealt with? So what if we're a trained psychic team? A packet of knockout drugs and they're lying there, ready to be slaughtered."
"That's true." Huang Mao finished speaking, and recalled Jiang Ran's appearance again. He suddenly stood up and said, "Boss, I think that man is from the Space Department and has no fighting ability. Otherwise, I will go and kill him first..."
"What's the rush?!" Lei Tang slapped the boy on the back of the head and clicked his tongue. "They're already in the trap, are you still afraid they'll run away? If we're not careful, I think that Gu Yunqing is a formidable figure. Even if we combine our forces, we might not be his match."
“…”
"Don't take unnecessary risks, okay?"
Huangmao said "Oh" reluctantly.
"Okay, dinner is almost ready, let's go and greet the guests!"
…
After walking around the village, Si Xu got a general understanding of the situation and took Jiang Ran back to the villa.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw women of different appearances gathered together chatting and laughing.
Seeing these people, Jiang Ran finally understood where that sense of disharmony came from.
——In this village, except for this villa, all other houses are only occupied by men or children...
"He, they keep all the women by their side..." Jiang Ran found it unbelievable and couldn't help complaining in his heart: Do those men want to imitate the emperors of the past who had three thousand beauties in their harem?
However, Jiang Ran soon noticed that those who were chatting and laughing were all young women with outstanding looks or good figures, while those who were working were all older.
Seeing someone coming in, the women gathered together looked at them. After seeing Si Xu, they all smiled warmly and came forward to greet him.
"Is the little brother also with Captain Gu?" The woman smiled charmingly and reached out to pull Si Xu's hand, "Come in quickly~"
"Don't touch him." Jiang Ran was one step faster than the woman and slapped her hand away, saying unhappily, "I don't like the smell of your perfume."
"Oh?" The back of her hand turned red. The woman rubbed her hand, glanced at Jiang Ran, and giggled, "It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. As long as men like it, that's fine."
"If I don't like it, then he won't like it either." Jiang Ran put on a tough attitude, protecting Si Xu from the women's dirty hands. "We'll go in by ourselves. We don't need you to lead the way."
Passively following the girl inside, Si Xu didn't resist or show any displeasure. He just raised his eyebrows and chuckled softly: "Are you angry?"
"Really?" Jiang Ran blushed and let go of the young man, mumbling, "I just... don't like the smell of their perfume."
Is it annoying? I can’t really say.
Those girls are ordinary people. In today's world, it is not easy to live a stable life - they just made the best choice they thought, just like her.
I don't hate it, but... I don't like it either.
"Oh, I don't like it either." Si Xu said in a cold tone, "That kind of thing is like a moving piece of meat. It makes me feel sick."
If that woman's hand had touched him, he would probably be a corpse now.
It was that tone again... Jiang Ran pursed her lips and whispered softly, "Let's go in, Si Xu."
…
The team was already waiting in the restaurant. Gu Yunqing was chatting with Lei Tang, and judging from their expressions, they seemed to be getting along quite well.
Seeing Si Xu, Lei Tang exclaimed and said to the woman standing next to him: "Didn't you see there are two more guests? Add two chairs!"
"Yes, yes." The woman responded hurriedly and quickly left the restaurant to move a chair.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the two added chairs were placed separately on both sides.
"We men are just chatting, women should stay out of it and let them have fun on their own." Without waiting for Si Xu to speak, Lei Tang laughed heartily and said, "She probably wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her here."
Gu Yunqing twitched his lips, supported his chin with one hand and waited for Si Xu's reply.
Si Xu didn't sit down immediately. He looked at Jiang Ran beside him and asked her in a low voice: "Do you want to go over there?"
Jiang Ran glanced at the added chair—it was right between Luo Rui and Yi Xi.
She hesitated: "Can I stay here?"
"Can."
Si Xu replied with two words and glanced at Song Rong who was standing next to the empty seat. Song Rong quickly squeezed to the side and made room for him: "Move over! Can't you see Professor Si and Ranran standing there?"
Si Xu sat down next to Gu Yunqing. Jiang Ran thanked Song Rong and sat down next to Si Xu.
Lei Tang: "..."
The man curled his lips and teased, "It looks like it's a new toy. Why do you love it so much?"
Knowing that the man was evaluating her, Jiang Ran frowned a little uncomfortably when she heard the word "toy" - so, in the apocalypse, girls who haven't awakened superpowers can only be regarded as toys in the eyes of such men?
"Not a toy."
Si Xu replied indifferently, picked up the water cup in front of him, took a sip, and placed it in front of Jiang Ran.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Lei Tang was displeased when he saw Si Xu's little action. "Are you suspecting that I poisoned the tea?!"
Ever since the two of them came in, they have been the focus of everyone's attention. Naturally, many people noticed Si Xu's action.
Luo Rui is no exception.
She was still wondering about the deeper meaning of the man's action, but when she heard Lei Tang's question, she suddenly understood.
Is Si Xu testing poison for Jiang Ran?
"It's not suspicion." Si Xu poured himself another glass and drank it without changing his expression. "She's not a superpower. There are some things superpowers can touch, but she can't."
Just like the zombie virus, people with special abilities won’t have any problems after coming into contact with it, but ordinary people will mutate into zombies.
Therefore, he had to isolate anything that might hurt Jiang Ran intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, this woman belongs to him, and he has to take good care of her.
