Chapter 7: Ranran has a bad temper
The next morning, when Gu Yunqing's team began to pack up supplies and prepare to set off, the members of Luo Rui's team came down from upstairs in twos and threes.
Seeing the team members regain their spirits, Luo Rui went to thank Gu Yunqing in person.
"Thank you, Captain Gu, for your understanding last night. Our team members have recovered well," Luo Rui said politely, then added with a wry smile, "It's been a rare good night's sleep since the disaster."
"Haha, no need to be so polite." Gu Yunqing laughed nonchalantly, "If you want to thank someone, thank Si Xu. He was on duty last night."
By arranging space-related psychics to be on duty, aren't you afraid of any accidents happening during the process?
Luo Rui's smile remained unchanged, but her brain was working rapidly.
Could it be that Professor Si has some secret weapon that they don’t know about that makes Gu Yunqing so confident in him?
"Where is Professor Si? I want to go and thank him in person."
She is not a timid person. When she encounters a problem she doesn't understand, her first choice is to seek the answer. And if you want to understand a person thoroughly, necessary contact is inevitable.
"Si Xu?" Gu Yunqing replied nonchalantly after instructing his team to once again check the cargo on the five large trucks. "He should still be in the living room. I didn't see him come out."
In the living room? Luo Rui thanked him and turned to walk towards the living room.
Si Xu is in the living room? But when she came out just now, she didn't notice that there was anyone in the living room.
…
Jiang Ran, who couldn't hold on any longer in the second half of last night, was thrown back to the room by Si Xu to rest. Perhaps it was because it was a rare opportunity for her body to relax, and when she woke up, it was already bright outside.
Jiang Ran stared at the ceiling for a moment before realizing that he was not in the dormitory.
She could faintly hear the sound of people talking downstairs, and her tense heart slowly relaxed. Looking out the window, she could see the team loading the truck and getting ready to set off.
Jiang Ran quickly got up from the bed, washed up quickly, and went downstairs to find Si Xu.
Judging from the current situation, she can only choose to follow Si Xu for the time being. As for Si Xu... it seems that his personality is a little different from what she originally thought. As long as they can get to Xiling Base and the Shen family safely, Jiang Ranran will have someone to rely on.
As for what happens next... forget it, forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. It’s still unknown whether I can make it to Xiling Base alive!
…
Luo Rui walked into the living room and saw Si Xu sitting on the sofa, reading a book.
He stayed here like this all night yesterday?
"Professor Si."
"..." Hearing someone calling him, Si Xu looked up at the girl who was talking, then continued to read, "What's the matter?"
The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you for last night."
"Thank me for what?" Si Xu was puzzled.
"Captain Gu told me that you were on guard yesterday..."
"No need to thank me." The girl's gentle words of thanks were interrupted, and Si Xu explained, "I didn't do this for you."
"Hmm?" She knew he hadn't been keeping watch specifically for her team, but since she had come to thank him, shouldn't he have been polite? What was the point of denying it outright?
"Do you have anything else to do?" Seeing that the girl had no intention of leaving, Si Xu reminded her, "Gu Yunqing's team is about to leave. If you want to go together, you'd better pack up quickly."
Si Xu spoke in a flat tone, which was like an order to leave.
This was the first time she had been humiliated in front of a man since the end of the world.
Luo Rui is a person who becomes more courageous when faced with setbacks. Moreover, she came to Si Xu not just to express her gratitude.
Thinking of her secret thoughts, she bit her lip and whispered: "Professor Si, let's dye her..."
When Jiang Ran was mentioned, Si Xu finally looked her in the eye: "Hmm?"
As expected, this man cared deeply about Jiang Ranran. Luo Rui's eyes flickered with an unconscious smile as she feigned concern. "Ranran doesn't have a very good temper. She must have been spoiled by her parents since she was little. She used to get angry a lot when she was with Chengzhi. From now on... I'll have to trouble you to be more tolerant. If she does anything that makes you angry, you can tell me and I'll talk to her properly..."
The girl's words were gentle and considerate. In addition to directly revealing that Jiang Ranran had a bad temper, she also tactfully told Si Xu that Jiang Ranran and Xie Chengzhi had been a couple.
Any man would not tolerate his woman thinking about another man, right?
As she expected, Si Xu looked thoughtful after hearing this.
Very good. Professor Si is obviously a smart man. From what he said, he will definitely be able to guess that Jiang Ranran still has Xie Chengzhi in her heart - he is just a space ability user, so she is not worried that he will hurt Xie Chengzhi, but Jiang Ranran is an ordinary person. Whether she can withstand his anger is an unknown.
After waiting for a moment, Si Xu finally spoke, saying in a deep voice: "Does Jiang Ran have a bad temper?"
Hmm? Is that his main point?
"It's actually not that bad." Being too obviously disparaging would cause a backlash, so Luo Rui stopped while she was ahead. "She's a little girl from a wealthy family, so it's quite cute if she has a bit of a princess-like temper."
Is it cute? Si Xu nodded and smiled: "It is quite cute."
Luo Rui: "..." Why did this man react like this? That's right, after all, she is a new woman, so it's normal to pamper her.
Jiang Ran was completely devoted to Xie Chengzhi. Forced by herself to follow this guy, how could she possibly treat him well? With just a little provocation, that stupid woman would explode like a bomb—and by then, would this guy still call her cute? Ha.
"Your name is Luo Rui?"
While she was lost in thought, she heard the man's deep voice and nodded: "Yes."
"Why do you care about Jiang Ran?"
This question... Luo Rui frowned and asked in return: "Ranran is my teammate. As the vice-captain, isn't it my responsibility to care about her?"
"She's no longer your teammate, and you're rivals in love."
"The two girls are rivals in love" was what Gu Yunqing told him last night - that guy usually loves to spread all kinds of nonsense in the team.
Although he couldn't quite understand the complicated relationship between girls, since they were enemies, there was no need for him to show concern for them.
Si Xu said, "You gave Jiang Ran to me because you hated her, and now you have to pretend to care about her and ask about her news. Aren't you tired of forcing yourself like this?"
What is this person talking about? It's something like this that everyone should know in their hearts. Why should they say it so casually?
No one would ever say such a thing to her face!
Luo Rui stood there blankly, and for the first time she felt the shame of being stripped naked.
She really wanted to refute the man's words - she had countless reasons to refute him, but for some reason, she couldn't say a word.
In the end, the girl just glared at the young man in anger, said, "How can you be like this?" and turned and ran out of the living room.
Si Xu: “…”
The man, who thought he was just telling the truth, didn't understand why the girl felt wronged and felt a little unhappy: that woman named Luo Rui seemed to be having trouble with her brain, and Jiang Ran had to stay away from her in the future.
