Chapter 17: Don’t Get Up Before Me
"What should I do?" Si Xu seemed puzzled. He walked into the room from the balcony and closed the balcony door. "I want to rest. Why don't you go out? If you don't go out..."
"Huh?" Is this guy not in his right mind? Huang Mao was amused by his words, but then he realized that this guy was a space-based psychic and he wasn't afraid of him, so he straightened his back and said, "Brother Lei said you're quite arrogant. Today, I'm..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a crisp sound next to his ears, like the sound of a broken bone. His vision was spinning and when he came to his senses, he could only see the door that was originally behind him.
Beside my ear, the man calmly added to the interrupted words.
"If you don't get out, you'll die."
"Ah, ah ah..." He wanted to refute him and scold him. He had a lot of curse words in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, he could only utter unconscious single sounds.
The door opened and his body was thrown out of the room uncontrollably, landing heavily in the corridor.
When he finally lost consciousness, he saw the young man walk to the door, look at him one last time, and then close the door.
It was a cold gaze that he had never seen in his twenty years of life, without a trace of human emotion - as if what he was taking away at this moment was not a human but the insignificant life of an ant.
Ah, is he going to die? That guy, why couldn't he finish his cool talk? The psychics that Brother Lei had invited into the base before, knocked unconscious by drugs and unable to move, would turn pale with fear after hearing him say that.
He thought today would be no exception - he had already dealt with so many people with special abilities, one more wouldn't make much difference, he was used to it.
But why was this man okay? Why was he so calm... so calm as to break his neck?
monster……
…
After Si Xu closed the door, the door of another room opened, and the man's sturdy body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, lying in a row with his good brother.
Gu Yunqing walked to the door, yawned, and looked down at the terrified Lei Tang. He smiled and said, "Brother Lei, I treat you as a brother. It's really not kind of you to plot against me like this."
"You, you, you, you can actually still move?!" Lei Tang stammered, his body suppressed by the invisible airflow and unable to move, "You're not poisoned?!"
That's impossible! He clearly ate those dishes and drank some wine!
"You said you put drugs in the food?" Gu Yunqing smiled narrowed his eyes, "You are also a psychic, don't you know that ordinary drugs are useless to psychics?"
"Impossible!" All those superpowered people who passed by here before...
"Of course it's possible, it's just that your ability can't reach that level yet." Gu Yunqing laughed sarcastically, glanced at the corpse not far away, and clicked his tongue twice, "You let that guy go to Si Xu's room? How tragic."
After being reminded by him, Lei Tang turned his head to look at the other side of the corridor and blurted out: "Ah, A Xiang!" Impossible, impossible, A Xiang, a second-level psychic, actually fell into the hands of a space-based psychic?
"Hey, be thankful it wasn't you who went to Si Xu's room, otherwise you would be lying there right now." Gu Yunqing said with a smile, clapping his hands. "Alright, alright, Song Rong, arrange for two people to clean them up. Those who need to take shifts can take shifts, and those who need to rest can rest. It's rare to have such a good environment, don't waste it."
…
The next morning, Jiang Ran woke up from his sleep. With a slight movement, he noticed something strange around him.
Si Xuzheng had one hand on her waist, his eyes closed, and was breathing slowly.
She stared at him blankly for a long time, carefully took his hand away, climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
I slept very well last night, without any dreams, but my head hurt a little when I woke up. Could it be that I slept too deeply?
…
Hearing a slight noise, Si Xu opened his eyes and slowly sat up.
The person in my arms disappeared...
I feel unhappy.
He looked around but didn't see any girl.
The dissatisfaction became more and more obvious.
Without thinking about the reason for his unhappiness, the man lazily got up and changed his clothes.
When Jiang Ran came in with the breakfast prepared in the kitchen, she happened to see Si Xu taking off his pajamas and getting ready to get dressed.
Hearing the noise, he turned around to look at her and casually threw the pajamas in his hand onto the sofa...
Jiang Ran: “…”
Jiang Ran calmly looked away, placed the tray on the table, cupped his hands to his mouth and blew out a breath: "The snow has stopped, but it's very cold outside, even colder than yesterday."
"Um."
"That's really strange. When I went to the kitchen, the aunt preparing breakfast told me that several of Lei Tang's friends were missing..."
"Oh." He responded without any emotion.
This person never asked too many questions about things he wasn't interested in. Jiang Ran also put the news he heard in the morning behind his mind and asked him, "I don't know what you like to eat. Auntie prepared some buns, flower rolls, and millet porridge. I took some of each."
Si Xu sat down at the table: "I'm not picky about food."
"Yeah." Jiang Ran served him millet porridge and placed the plate with buns in front of him.
"You don't want to eat?"
"I ate in the kitchen," the girl said, her eyes curved with a smile. "I even took a walk outside. The first footprints in the snow were mine—it'll bring good luck!"
Not knowing what this meant, Si Xu ate quietly without saying a word.
Thinking he wasn't interested in such a topic, Jiang Ran changed the subject: "Si Xu, have you encountered any other survivors in Shenmu City?"
"No."
"That's right. After all, it's been half a year already. There's no base there. Anyone with special abilities would have left long ago. As for ordinary people... there's no chance they would have survived."
"Um."
"Actually, if it weren't for Xie Chengzhi and Luo Rui, I would have died a long time ago." Jiang Ran held his chin with both hands, looked at Si Xu, and said to himself, "Looking back now, I am still a little grateful to them..."
Hearing her say this, Si Xu frowned. So, what did she want to express? Was she trying to tell him how good those two mentally ill people were to her? Or was she thinking that he wasn't good enough to her... or that she wasn't good enough to her...?
Just as the man was doubting himself, Jiang Ran continued to mutter: "After all, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet you..."
Si Xu: “…” That’s true—from this point of view, those two idiots did something that pleased him.
However, did this woman not realize that she had done something wrong? It was quite interesting to listen to her nagging like this, but he still had to remind her of the things that made him unhappy.
"Jiang Ran."
Jiang Ran was suddenly called by his name, and he was puzzled: "Huh?"
"From now on..." After a pause, Si Xu put down the spoon, looked into the girl's dark eyes, and said bluntly, "You are not allowed to get up before me."
"Ah..." Jiang Ran blinked, even more confused, "Why?" If he slept until noon, did she have to stay in bed until noon too?
"Because I'm very unhappy." Yes, he was very unhappy when he woke up and found that the hand warmer in his arms was gone.
Jiang Ran: “…”
Si Xu: “…”
Jiang Ran nodded in understanding and accepted his request: "Oh, I understand."
Si Xu was a possessive pervert—Jiang Ranran's assessment was probably correct. This guy even controlled her bedtimes and waking times. It was really... no wonder he didn't win over Jiang Ranran in the end.
On second thought, that wasn't right. Si Xu had never pursued Jiang Ranran at all. Jiang Ranran was probably just a little toy for him to pass the time. As long as she didn't touch his bottom line, he wouldn't bother with her. Once she really angered him, he would beat her up and throw her into the pile of zombies without mercy.
Gifts and red beans for the cute crabs, muah
Because I am busy with work on weekdays, I should maintain 2000+ updates every day before the release, and there will be a high probability of a burst of updates on the day of release.
If you think the updates are slow, you can save it and wait for it to be updated before reading it.
Thanks again, bow~
