Chapter 224 Affection Value
Shen Qianqian carefully observed his expression, and only after confirming that it contained worry for her and annoyance towards Qiao Xi did she feel a little relieved. She nestled into his arms and softened her voice, saying, "You're still the best to me."
Qin Feng gently patted her back, a tender smile on his face, but his gaze swept over her head, coldly glancing at the teammates beside him who were also looking at Shen Qianqian with admiration.
A bunch of idiots, all they can see is this woman's superficial pretense.
Once he has squeezed all the value out of them, they won't need to live anymore.
Shen Qianqian leaned against Qin Feng's chest, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she immediately and urgently called out to the system in her mind: "System! Quickly check how many points of affection Qin Feng has for me now?"
A cold, mechanical voice quickly responded: [Target 'Qin Feng' currently has an affection level of 20% for the host.]
"Why is it still only 20%?" Shen Qianqian almost screamed. "It hasn't increased at all? How is that possible! I've been so good to him these past few days, practically obeying his every word!"
[Host, please unleash your charm, find a breakthrough, and persevere. Successfully completing the mission will earn you a large amount of points, which can be exchanged for high-level items.]
Upon hearing about the reward, Shen Qianqian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anxiety in her heart and a trace of unease about Qin Feng's elusive nature.
In order to secure the generous rewards that would allow her to gain a foothold in this apocalyptic world, she decided to be patient a little longer, treat Qin Feng even better, and put more effort into "winning him over."
She looked up, her sweet, dependent smile returning, and hugged Qin Feng's arm tightly, her voice soft and sweet: "Qin Feng, they won't let us in here, what do we do now? I'm so scared to spend the night outside..."
Qin Feng withdrew his deep gaze from the city wall, lowered his head, and gave her a flawless, gentle smile.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The night was as dark as ink, and the air was filled with the unique silence and tension of the apocalypse.
The conference room lights stayed on very late.
Feng Ye, Fu Jinxing, Shen Han, Lu Yuyang, and several other high-level ability users sat around a metal table covered in scratches.
“We must take turns on duty, and the guards must be the most trusted people, along with at least two high-level ability users.” Fu Jinxing’s gaze swept over the men in front of him. “We cannot give them any opportunity to ‘plunder’.”
Feng Ye leaned back in his chair, his strong jawline slightly raised: "Hmm, that's fine."
The men in the conference room discussed the matter until late at night.
Meanwhile, Josie was also busy at the base all day.
It was past nine o'clock at night when I got back to my place.
I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time, and my body unconsciously started to feel sleepy.
She quickly took a hot shower to wash away her fatigue and grime, and fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.
It was late at night.
After an unknown amount of time, Josie unconsciously furrowed her brow in her sleep.
A strange yet comfortable feeling made her confused consciousness begin to struggle.
It seems like... something is nearby.
It wasn't an aura of danger, but rather carried an undeniable presence and... a burning aggressiveness.
She instinctively tensed her body, and then gradually regained consciousness.
"XiXi, it's me."
A familiar voice rang out, deep and husky, carrying an intense, overwhelming desire, like rough sandpaper rubbing against her eardrums, instantly shattering all her defenses.
It is Fu Jinxing.
My tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and even a strange, indescribable longing welled up inside me.
She had been away for several days and really missed him.
Josie instinctively raised her soft arm, hooked it around the man's neck, and pressed herself against his slightly cool chest, which was still warm from the night air.
Without a word, Fu Jinxing's burning lips had already captured hers precisely.
The kiss was filled with an unprecedented urgency and greed, as if it had been suppressed for far too long.
Josie was so dizzy from the kisses that she felt like she was being robbed of her oxygen.
The room temperature suddenly rose.
The blanket had been pulled off and was lying on the floor at some point.
In the dim light, the senses become exceptionally sharp.
The shivers that came from the calluses on his fingertips brushing against her skin, the heavy, hot breath on her neck, and the way he hugged her tightly as if he wanted to crush her and embed her into his very bones.
Qiao Xi quickly crumbled, going limp like a puddle of water, and could only weakly plead, "Brother Jinxing... I can't take it anymore... I'm so tired..."
Fu Jinxing took a deep breath, suppressing his almost uncontrollable impulse, and pulled the soft, limp person into his arms tightly.
Their hearts were pounding so hard they were pounding against each other's chests.
His breathing was still erratic. He leaned close to her ear, his voice hoarse, "Xixi... I have to go out tomorrow... Can I hug you again?"
Hearing that he was leaving, Josie's heart tightened for no reason, and the last bit of weariness was dispelled.
She stopped complaining of being tired and instead snuggled closer to him, even tilting her head back to respond to him.
"Go out? Where are we going?" she asked in a trembling voice, her tone carrying a languid sweetness born of passion and a hint of barely perceptible worry.
Fu Jinxing leaned in, his burning lips lingering on her earlobe and neck, and whispered, "The energy pool that Shen Han mentioned when he came back last time... it might have a breakthrough effect on my ongoing project. I sent people to search for it, and a couple of days ago... um... news came that they found another energy pool..."
His explanations were fragmented, and he could only try his best to remain rational and talk to her.
But suddenly, his breath caught in his throat, and the string of reason snapped completely!
He practically gritted his teeth as he forced her name out from deep in his throat: "Xixi...you really are..."
Knowing that he was about to leave and his return was uncertain, Josie abandoned all her reserve and used all her strength, even actively guiding her superpowers, to completely surrender herself to him.
Fu Jinxing then went completely mad, as if he had become a different person altogether.
Shedding his usual refined and gentle scholarly facade, he revealed his inner strength, domineering nature, and even a bit of ferocity.
He was like an insatiable beast, possessing and demanding again and again, as if he wanted to overdraw all the weight of future separations in this one night.
Josie was eventually tortured to the point of fainting.
Before her consciousness completely sank into darkness, she only vaguely felt a gentle and precious kiss fall on her sweaty forehead.
Fu Jinxing, however, was refreshed and his fatigue and tension from the past few days had vanished.
He held the sleeping woman in his arms, his gaze lingering on her serene yet flushed face with a complex mix of emotions.
His Xixi always brought him the ultimate beauty and surprise. This kind of pleasure, in which both body and mind ascend to the peak, is incomparable to any successful experiment.
But then he thought, perhaps he wasn't the only one who had experienced such a surprise...
That suppressed, dark possessiveness and jealousy surged up again, burning his heart.
He closed his eyes and used immense willpower to suppress that anger deep within his heart.
