Chapter 16, How are you okay?
The plan went smoothly, and Lei Tang didn't bother to argue with Si Xu. He clapped his hands, and soon the girls filed in and began serving the dishes.
Just like the emperors of ancient times. Jiang Ran sighed softly as he watched the girls' methodical movements.
She should feel lucky, at least the person she met after traveling through time was Si Xu. If it was someone else, what would be waiting for her?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the people around her again.
Si Xu did not join Lei Tang and the others in their conversation, but ate quietly.
Noticing her gaze, he silently picked the fish from the plate and put it into her bowl.
"Why?"
"You need to eat more." He said as a matter of course, "You're too thin. Your previous team didn't take good care of you."
If he had a little more flesh, it would be much more comfortable to hold him.
Si Xu's voice was not loud, just loud enough for Luo Rui and Xie Chengzhi to hear.
Xie Chengzhi put down his chopsticks heavily with a gloomy face and stood up: "I'm done eating, thank you Brother Lei for your hospitality."
After saying that, he left the restaurant and walked towards the arranged room.
Luo Rui greeted Gu Yunqing and Lei Tang awkwardly, then chased after Xie Chengzhi out.
Not realizing that his words had inadvertently angered others, and not even noticing the two people leaving, Si Xu continued to serve Jiang Ran food: "This beef brisket with potatoes tastes good."
Jiang Ran: "...Thank you."
…
Back in the room, Xie Chengzhi kicked the wall and felt that the anger in his chest was about to burst out of his nose.
That damn man, not only did he take his woman away, he also mocked him in front of so many people!
Didn't raise her well? Haha, why should the team raise Jiang Ranran for free? They were already very kind by not throwing her into the zombie swarm, okay?
Damn it!
"Chengzhi." Luo Rui saw the boy scratching the wall angrily when she entered the room. She frowned, walked over, held the boy's hand, and said softly, "Don't be angry, Chengzhi—it's not worth getting angry with that kind of person."
"I'm not angry about what that man said." Not wanting Luo Rui to misunderstand that he still had feelings for Jiang Ranran, Xie Chengzhi made up an excuse, "Ruirui, along the way, at least we protected Jiang Ranran's safety. But now you see, she's gone to another team, and it's like we treated her so badly in the past—what an ungrateful villain!"
"Yeah, ungrateful." Luo Rui continued, "So, you shouldn't let people like that ruin your mood, right?"
“…”
"Besides, there's still a long way to go, and it's still unknown who will make it to the end." Luo Rui's voice was filled with undisguised resentment. "Let them laugh today, but there will always be a day when they will cry."
"Rui Rui..." His kind girlfriend said such a heartless remark to comfort him. Xie Chengzhi's anger dissipated and he hugged Luo Rui tightly into his arms, "Don't say such things. I know you don't want this."
Luo Rui is the kind of person who can give everything for the team. Even if she and Jiang Ranran are entangled, even if Jiang Ranran has not awakened any superpowers, she is still willing to take Jiang Ranran with her... Such a kind-hearted Ruirui should not be affected by his negative emotions.
…
Not interested in the content of Lei Tang Gu Yunqing's conversation, and seeing that Jiang Ran was full, Si Xu took Jiang Ran away first.
"Hey, Brother Gu, your friend is really arrogant." After a few drinks, Lei Tang said with a thick tongue, "It must be tiring to travel with someone like that?"
"Not bad." Gu Yunqing's voice was unclear, as if he was drunk, but his eyes were clear. "Si Xu is just not good at expressing himself. He is actually a nice person."
"I think he seems to be a space-based psychic?"
"Yeah, space-type—just like Doraemon, you can get whatever you want."
"We also have a space system at our base, but it's not of a high enough level to store anything."
"You can't rush this kind of thing. With time, as your ability level increases, it will be useful."
"That's true—what's Si Xu's ability level?"
"Him?" Gu Yunqing frowned and thought for a long time before muttering, "I don't know either. Anyway, the auxiliary space is quite durable."
Lei Tang nodded. "So, that man's spatial ability should be quite high. However, no matter how powerful he is, he can't reach the third level in half a year... Even if he is a genius, a third-level spatial ability user would be easy to deal with, after all, he has no combat power."
…
When he returned to the room, a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the balcony. After taking a shower, Jiang Ran wrapped himself in a coat and ran to the balcony, leaving two footprints.
Well, it is said that the first person to leave footprints in the snow will have good luck.
She closed the balcony glass door contentedly, turned around and bumped into the young man, and was immediately picked up by him.
"Eh?" Jiang Ran felt delicate skin when she touched him. She looked at the collar that was accidentally pulled open during his movement and turned her head to the other side with a red face.
Wait... Last night was a night watch, so she didn't think too much about it. Today, when she arrived at the room with the bed... she couldn't help but think - what was Si Xu going to do? He wouldn't...
Thinking about what might happen next, Jiang Ran tensed up, all kinds of thoughts racing through his mind.
If Si Xu really wanted to... She wasn't against him, but she couldn't say she liked him either... In her opinion, at least from her current perspective, doing that kind of thing with someone she didn't like was impossible.
"Um, Si Xu, I..."
"What?"
"Um, what are you going to do? Want to take a break?"
"Um."
When they got to the bed, the young man had no intention of letting her go. He held her in his arms like a doll, feeling very satisfied.
The young man did not make any further moves, and Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that Si Xu is just interested in her, and it hasn't reached that stage yet.
Just as she was thinking this, she felt slender fingers pinching her waist through the thin material of her pajamas. Jiang Ran's whole body suddenly stiffened and she almost jumped out of bed.
"You're still too thin..." She heard the man sigh softly, "You need to gain some weight."
Jiang Ran: “…”
The man buried his face in her neck, his hot breath falling on her skin, causing a slight shiver. But unlike her trembling, Si Xu quickly fell asleep with her in his arms.
Fell asleep?
Jiang Ran tried to move her body, and with a slight movement, the hand around her waist immediately tightened a little.
Jiang Ran didn't dare to move.
But being held like this, she really couldn't sleep at all!
…
At night, the wind blew snowflakes against the windows, making a crackling sound. There were light footsteps crossing the corridor and heading straight for the room.
After listening to Lei Tang's instructions, Huangmao opened the door of the room with the spare key and walked to the bed quietly.
On the bed, a young girl was curled up in the quilt, sound asleep. In the dim light, one could see the delicate contours of her face and the graceful lines of her neck...
Dazzled by the beauty for a moment, Huangmao quickly recovered and was stunned: Why is there only a woman? Where is the space-based psychic with her?
"Are you looking for me?" A faint voice with a hint of laziness and impatience came from behind. The yellow-haired man jumped up and took two steps back like a frightened cat, raising the dagger in his hand and pointing it at the man.
On the balcony, Si Xu threw the cigarette butt onto the ground and crushed it with his toes. He pulled his coat tighter and looked up at the young man who had sneaked in: "What's the matter with you coming here so late?"
"You..." Huang Mao's eyes widened in surprise, "How come you're okay?!"
All the dishes were drugged, and he had personally watched the man eat them. Logically, he should be unconscious by now, so how, how come he's fine?!
