Chapter 23 "It seems I'm not working hard enough."
In the early morning, the warm yellow sunlight shone into the car through the window, and the rain curtain under the dark clouds of last night was no longer visible outside.
Lin Mian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes. In his sight, he saw a handsome face with eyes closed and sleeping. He was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
His chaotic mind couldn't quite recall what the situation was. He frowned and moved his body.
"woke up."
A low voice sounded in my ears, but it didn't sound as hoarse as when I first woke up.
The man next to him opened his eyes, his gaze was very clear, and it seemed that he had woken up a long time ago.
Lin Mian looked at him and nodded blankly.
The next second, a warm palm landed on his forehead.
"Yeah, the fever's gone."
Did he have a fever? Lin Mian felt his consciousness was still a little confused. He opened his mouth and said, "I..."
His voice was so hoarse that he suddenly closed his mouth again.
Jiang Yan laughed, reached out to take the bottle of mineral water beside the bed, unscrewed the cap, reached under his neck to lift his head, and put the bottle to his lips, "Drink some water before we talk."
Lin Mian raised his head and drank a few sips of water, feeling that the pain in his throat was relieved a lot.
But he also felt a lot of pain, accompanied by a feeling of weakness, as if he had gone hiking in the middle of the night, and...
He lifted the blanket a little and looked down, and found that he was really not wearing any clothes!
He quickly pulled the blanket back over his shoulders and glanced at the person next to him.
Jiang Yan, who had been watching his movements, had a smile on his face. When he met his gaze, he deliberately reached into the blanket and touched his waist with his palm, "Does it still hurt?"
Lin Mian froze when he touched him, and the memory of last night came into his mind: the entanglement, the panting, and the red corners of the man's eyes when he pressed him down.
He closed his eyes as if to escape.
Jiang Yan didn't let him go, he leaned close to his ear, and rubbed his earlobe with his lips, "Do you remember?"
He remembered everything, deeply and clearly. Lin Mian shrank his head and buried his face in the blanket.
Although he wanted to tease him again, Jiang Jie was also more concerned about his physical condition. He reached out and pulled the blanket off his face. "You had a fever last night. How are you now?"
Fever? Lin Mian blinked blankly. He didn't remember this at all. He raised his hand and touched his forehead. The temperature was normal.
He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly heard a violent cough.
But he didn't, and neither did Jiang Jie.
And that feeling was also very strange. He could hear it clearly, but he knew in his heart that it was far away and it was not the sound from their car.
There was also a low conversation afterwards. I couldn't hear the specific content clearly, but I knew it was two people talking.
What the hell? He couldn't help but touch his ears.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Yan knew that his guess was correct. The sound came from the car behind and ordinary people could not hear it.
He pulled the other person's hand away from touching his ear and asked, "Do you feel anything else in your body, like anything that can be released?"
"Release?" Lin Mian couldn't quite feel it, and was a little confused about what the other party meant.
But he moved his body to continue feeling it, and in a trance, his consciousness seemed to see something.
He turned his face to the side in confusion, and according to his subconscious instinct, he reached out and grabbed the mineral water that had been casually thrown on the pillow.
A magical thing happened, the half bottle of water disappeared.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and there was surprise in each other's eyes.
"I, I just..." Lin Mian looked at his hands a little helplessly.
Jiang Yan's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly grabbed his wrist and said, "Try again, can you take out the bottle of water?"
After being caught by him, Lin Mian felt a little relieved, and vaguely seemed to guess what changes had taken place in his body.
He calmed himself down and continued to capture the feeling he had just had with a little nervousness.
The next second, the water that had just disappeared appeared in his hands again.
Lin Mian's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Brother Jie, I saw it!"
"What?" Jiang Jie asked patiently.
"It's a small space," Lin Mian described it to him as detailed as possible. "It's not very big, probably only about... five square meters. It's surrounded by fog, so it's hard to see clearly."
"That's normal," Jiang Yan said after listening to his story, "The newly awakened supernatural power is the weakest. Just because the area is small now doesn't mean it will be so small in the future."
Lin Mian was stunned when he heard this. "Brother Ji, are you saying that I really do have that ability?"
"Yeah." Jiang Jie nodded.
"But why is it different from yours, Brother Jie?" Lin Mian looked at his own hands again. The few he had seen seemed quite powerful, able to fight those alien creatures. "Mine is just a space..."
"Space is very useful in the apocalypse," Jiang Jie rubbed his head with his hand, "This way we can store more supplies, and it's safer."
That’s right, Lin Mianyou was comforted. Many of the supplies found before could not be taken away due to limited space in the car. If there was extra space, more supplies could be carried.
Five square meters is equivalent to a small room, which can hold a lot of things, and according to the other party's wishes, it can be made bigger.
He raised his head, his eyes sparkling, "This way, I can help Brother Sae."
Jiang Jie's heart was moved by his gaze, and he lowered his head and kissed him on the mouth that said nice things to him.
Lin Mian was stunned by the sudden kiss. When the soft kiss tried to penetrate his lips and teeth, he pulled back and dodged. He said awkwardly, "No, I didn't brush my teeth."
Jiang Yan chuckled and raised his hand to rub his red earlobe, "Then I'll carry you there."
Lin Mian quickly huddled under the blanket and said, "I should be able to do it myself. Brother Sakai, help me take off my clothes..."
He is still naked now.
If he continued teasing, he would probably get angry again. Jiang Yan followed his lead and got out of bed. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say something flirtatious, "It seems I'm not trying hard enough."
I still have the energy to get out of bed.
Lin Mian understood the implication of his words. The feeling of being unable to break free from last night seemed to come back again. He couldn't help but rub his waist and muttered softly, "I tried really hard..."
Jiang Jie returned with the clothes, bent down and handed them to him, and asked knowingly, "What are you talking about?"
Lin Mian quickly shook his head, reached out to take the clothes and snuggled into the blanket.
I've seen everything I should have seen, so what's there to be embarrassed about? I'm afraid that a certain rabbit will get angry. Jiang Jie kept this in his heart and didn't say it out loud.
After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Lin Mian felt his legs were still a little weak. He took a moment to adjust before standing up. Under the man's teasing gaze, he walked into the bathroom.
Although there were some annoying incidents last night, Jiang Jie, who was "full of food and drink", was in a good mood overall.
So I went to prepare breakfast.
When Lin Mian came out of the bathroom, he had already cooked the porridge and was standing in front of the chopping board cutting luncheon meat.
He walked over and stood next to the man, "Let me do it."
Jiang Yan put the knife aside, avoiding his hand, and said, "No need, it will be done soon."
He made me suffer so much yesterday that I had a fever in the middle of the night, and now he wants me to work early in the morning. He is a real beast.
"If you're bored, why not study your own abilities?"
After hearing what he said, Lin Mian withdrew his hand. He was indeed still very curious about his special ability.
He clenched his hands, picked up a metal bowl from the table, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
And in the empty space that only he could perceive, there was an extra bowl.
With the novelty of exploring supernatural powers, he touched another plate and put it away, then took out both things.
Jiang Jie watched him play twice while cutting luncheon meat, and asked casually, "Do you have to touch the object to put it in?"
After being pointed out by him, Lin Mian realized that he had to get things in his hands before trying to put them into that space. What if he didn't touch them?
Just like when he took something out, it came out as soon as he thought about it.
He blinked, turned his head and stared at the dishes he had just taken out. This time he did not reach out to touch them, but tried to control the collection of the items with his mind alone.
Jiang Jie also stopped and looked at him.
The dishes on the table really disappeared in the next second, but at the same time, Lin Mian's consciousness became confused and his feet staggered, and he was about to fall.
Fortunately, Jiang Jie was right next to him and reached out to support him. "What's wrong?"
Lin Mian leaned on him and shook his head, "Head, dizzy."
Jiang Jie helped him sit on the sofa, and seeing him raise his hand to rub his solar plexus, he said, "It seems that telekinesis consumes more energy."
Lin Mian, feeling a little relieved, put down his hand and nodded, looking a little depressed. "I'm too weak."
It's obvious that the other party was able to use that ability very well when he just awakened.
Seeing him dejected, Jiang Jie, who was like using a cheat, reached out and hooked his chin, "Don't worry, take your time."
It was a pleasant surprise that the little rabbit could awaken his spatial ability.
He thought about it, walked away and took out a bag from the storage cabinet. Inside were the crystals he had collected during this period.
He took out one and placed it in Lin Mian's palm, "Hold it and try to see if you can absorb its energy."
"Absorb energy?" Lin Mian looked at the beautiful crystal in his hand in confusion. Although he had doubts about his words, he still closed his palm obediently.
He didn't know how to absorb the energy inside as the other party said, so he could only close his eyes and try to capture it as if he had supernatural powers.
It seems to be really useful. The crystal that seemed ordinary to him before, now it seems that he can really feel the subtle energy fluctuations inside it.
That bit of energy was captured by his own special energy, and then was hooked and entered into his body. His head, which had been a little dizzy just now, seemed to be a little clearer.
He opened his eyes unexpectedly, spread out his hands, and was surprised to find that the beautiful white crystal had become gray and lost its original luster.
"Brother Ji, this..." He looked up in surprise.
"You absorbed the energy inside," Jiang Jie picked up the ugly crystal in his hand, "and now it's just an ordinary stone."
"It's really amazing..." Lin Mian couldn't help but sigh again. The scientific world he had lived in for nearly twenty years suddenly became mysterious.
He raised his eyes to look at the man, "Brother, how do you know?"
"I absorbed it accidentally before," Jiang Jie had already thought of an excuse. He handed the bag of crystals to him, "Absorb all of these. It will help your superpowers."
"Ah?" Lin Mian took it in a daze, "What about Brother Jie? What should I do if I absorb Brother Jie?"
These were collected by the other party through hard work in dealing with the alien creatures. How could they all be given to him?
Jiang Jie raised his hand and patted his head, ruffling his soft hair. "My ability is relatively stable at the moment, so I won't be using it for now. I'll also absorb it when I go out to deal with the mutants. You don't have to worry about it."
As the little rabbits' space becomes bigger, they can store more supplies. In addition, the space of the psychics is also a state of time stillness. Although it cannot store living things, it can keep food fresh.
With material supplies guaranteed, they can survive more comfortably in the apocalypse.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to enhance his supernatural powers as soon as possible.
