"What did you say?"
This time, it was Jiang Nian'an's turn to be stunned.
In contrast, Shen Nanxing felt much more relaxed after saying what was on his mind.
I said, I like you.
He looked directly at her, and the suppressed emotions in his eyes finally poured out without any concealment.
"In the darkness of night, under the moonlight, I was instantly captivated."
"But...but don't you have someone you like?"
It's wrong to have your cake and eat it too.
Jiang Nian'an stammered, her eyes looking lost and darting around aimlessly.
I am not two-timing.
Shen Nanxing gripped Jiang Nian'an's shoulders, forcing her to look him in the eye, his gaze unwavering. "I only like you."
Jiang Nian'an bit her lip, her voice tinged with grievance, "Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me misunderstand for so long."
Shen Nanxing was taken aback. Details that he had previously overlooked, whether intentionally or unintentionally, suddenly connected into a line.
"So, from last night until just now, you've been upset because... I said I have someone I like?"
"Um."
Jiang Nian'an's lips drooped, and she nodded sullenly.
Shen Nanxing suddenly started laughing, from a light laugh to a loud laugh, until he pulled at his wound and groaned in pain before stopping.
When he met Jiang Nian'an's worried gaze, he couldn't help but smile. He finally had the courage to ask the question he hadn't been able to ask before.
"Then, An'an...who is the person you like?"
Jiang Nian'an suddenly lowered her head, but couldn't help but look up again to steal a glance.
Suddenly meeting Shen Nanxing's smiling gaze, she immediately blushed and stood up abruptly, "Guess!"
I guess...
Shen Nanxing wore a confident smile, but inside he was terrified. "It's me!"
Jiang Nian'an's blush deepened, and she muttered, "You already know, why ask?"
After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen.
Her steps were light and her mood cheerful, a stark contrast to her earlier sullen state.
Shen Nanxing stared intently at her retreating figure, a look of intense joy in his eyes, but still couldn't believe it and asked again, "An'an, are you telling the truth?"
It wasn't a one-sided love between him and An'an; it was a mutual pursuit.
Is he dreaming?
Happiness came so suddenly?
What was the purpose of his previous pain, struggle, and anxiety?
Jiang Nian'an stopped and turned to look at him, smiling brightly, "I might lie to you about other things, but it's true that I like you."
Upon hearing Jiang Nian'an affirm that she liked him, Shen Nanxing was so excited that he stood up abruptly.
The movements were swift and fierce, making Jiang Nian'an's heart clench.
"Sit down!"
Jiang Nian'an roared, stopping Shen Nanxing, who seemed to want to continue practicing his boxing moves on the spot.
Shen Nanxing immediately became obedient and sat back on the sofa, but his eyes still followed Jiang Nian'an eagerly.
For some reason, Jiang Nian'an was reminded of a certain obedient and cute large dog.
"Sit still and don't move around. I'm going to make lunch."
A moment later, Jiang Nian'an gave Shen Nanxing a helpless instruction and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Before long, bursts of silly laughter filled the living room.
So, does being in love turn you into a fool?
Jiang Nian'an threw the ribs into the pot, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on her lips.
'Knock knock knock~'
Just as the two were immersed in the sweet feeling of 'he/she likes me', there was a knock on the door.
Both of them composed themselves.
"who?"
Shen Nanxing called out towards the door.
Jiang Nian'an put all the ingredients, cooking utensils, and the soup that was only half-cooked into her space.
Then he quickly walked out.
"Hello, we are from the Ning City base."
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing exchanged a glance, and began to guess the purpose of the person outside the door.
She walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.
There were four people outside the door, two men and two women, all of whom were fully armed.
Apart from the middle-aged man in the lead, the three young men behind him all looked somewhat impatient.
But the moment Jiang Nian'an opened the door, he immediately switched to a friendly expression.
The speed was so fast that Jiang Nian'an was amazed.
"Is there something you need?"
She looked at the four of them with a distant expression on her face.
The middle-aged man at the head of the group had a big smile on his face and pulled a small green notebook out of his shirt pocket.
"I am Gu Shan, the captain of the second base team of Ning City Base."
He opened the notebook, which contained the seal of the Ning City base and Gu Shan's personal information.
The most prominent thing is the words "Ning City Base Second Base Team".
"So, is there something you need?"
Jiang Nian'an only opened the door halfway, firmly keeping the four people outside.
A number of people had already gathered in the hallway, peeking and looking in their direction.
Gu Shan looked around, as if he had something difficult to say. "Can we go inside and talk?"
Jiang Nian'an didn't want to stand at the door like a monkey, letting people stare at her, so she nodded.
She let go of the door and turned to walk away.
Gu Shan hurriedly led the three people behind him into the room.
Jiang Nian'an had already put a loose sweatshirt on Shen Nanxing, covering his perfect figure.
However, his outstanding appearance still attracted one of the girls to steal glances at him frequently.
"cough--"
Jiang Nian'an coughed lightly and calmly reached out to hug Shen Nanxing's arm.
This gesture of asserting sovereignty delighted Shen Nanxing, who couldn't help but reach out and pat her head, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
That's great. Now that they've confessed their feelings to each other, he can finally openly and legitimately do these intimate things to her.
Gu Shan glanced back, his eyes filled with warning, and the girl quickly averted her gaze.
"I wonder if either of you would be interested in finding a base to settle down in?"
Gu Shan smiled and looked at Jiang Nian'an and the other person, "For example, our base team in Ning City..."
Jiang Nian'an shook her head decisively, "No interest."
Gu Shan's smile faltered for a moment, but he still forced himself to continue speaking.
"There are many benefits to having superhumans join the base."
First, accommodation fees are discounted by 30%, and meal fees by 50%. Second, when the base has missions, members of the base team will be given priority in selection. Third—”
"unnecessary."
Before Gu Shan could elaborate, Jiang Nian'an interrupted him.
She is no longer the same person she was in her previous life.
No more worrying about accommodation fees, and no more struggling to find food while desperately completing missions in a base.
