Chapter 34 "It's still early, let's celebrate."
The deep night enveloped the service area without power, and it was completely dark. Without the interference of lights, the stars in the night sky became clearer and clearer.
In the parked RV, the sound of the air conditioner was minimal, and the whole environment seemed very quiet.
In the dim light, only the camping lamp placed beside the bed emitted a warm yellow light, enveloping the two people sleeping on the bed.
Lin Mian's brows suddenly frowned slightly, his long eyelashes trembled, and the next moment, his eyes slowly opened.
After being in a coma for a long time, he was a little uncomfortable with the dim light. He closed his eyes again and relaxed for a few seconds before tentatively opening them again.
He blinked, saw the familiar roof, and realized that he should be lying on the bed of the RV.
Turning my head, I saw the sleeping face of a man beside me, his outline looking very soft in the dim light.
Lin Mian felt relieved immediately. He raised his hand to rub his forehead to relieve the dizziness in his head, and tried to get up by supporting himself on the bed.
An arm suddenly stretched out across his waist, pulling him back and rubbing him in his arms. "Awake."
Although his eyes were still closed, there was no trace of sleepiness in his voice. It seemed that he woke up as soon as Lin Mian moved.
"Yeah, I'm awake." Lin Mian's voice was a little hoarse.
He coughed to clear his throat and moved to stand up.
Jiang Yan tightened his grip around his arm and leaned his face against his neck. "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
Lin Mian was held by him and couldn't get up. He paused and said embarrassedly: "I want to go to the toilet, it's a bit urgent..."
Having slept from the afternoon until the early morning, it was indeed time to go. Jiang Yan chuckled and nuzzled his cheek, then mercifully let go of his hand, "Go ahead."
Lin Mian climbed out of bed as if he had been rescued, got out of bed and ran into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, he came out, shaking the water droplets off his hands, wiped his hands with the towel hanging by the door, and looked much more relaxed.
Jiang Jie was lying on the bed, his head supported by his hand, one leg bent, his eyes fixed on him.
Lin Mian returned to the bed with a bit of excitement, squatted down, held his face with his hands and looked at him, saying: "Brother Jian, my space has expanded a lot this time."
"Really?" Jiang Yan reached out and twirled the hair beside his face, which had grown longer recently. "How much has it expanded?"
Lin Mian leaned forward and put his arms on the bed. "It's almost as big as a basketball court. It can hold a lot of supplies!"
Jiang Jie paused, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was a little surprised. It was just a B-level crystal core, and the little rabbit's ability was still in its early stages.
He originally thought that it would be great if his space could be expanded by dozens of square meters this time, but he didn't expect that it would be expanded to almost four hundred square meters in one go.
You know, the space ability user in their safe zone in the previous life could only create a space this large in the later period, and it was difficult for him to advance any further.
If the little rabbit's space can be expanded to this extent now, then later on...
Jiang Jie couldn't help but think of the official space ability user in his previous life. Perhaps, he could also reach that level.
The corners of his lips curved up. It really was a treasure.
He patted the bed and said, "Come up."
Lin Mian obediently got up and returned to bed.
Jiang Yan lowered his eyes to look at him, raised his hand and cupped his cheek, caressing it gently, "Don't let anyone else know that you have spatial abilities."
Lin Mian blinked in confusion.
Jiang Jie's fingertips landed on the tip of his nose and tapped it twice, "It's a crime to possess a treasure."
Lin Mian was stunned and suddenly realized.
Yes, at this time, if you know that a person can carry a large amount of supplies, you will definitely become greedy. You will either trap the person by your side or kill him and gamble on the possibility of getting those supplies.
Even if it is not so extreme, it will always attract some malicious covetousness.
After figuring it out, he immediately nodded seriously, "I know."
Jiang Yan saw his serious expression and pinched his cheek. "Don't be too nervous. There will definitely be other spatial ability users appearing one after another. Scarcity makes things valuable. When there are more of them, it won't be so exaggerated. You just need to be on guard against others."
Lin Mian is not a stupid man, he understands all this.
Jiang Jie continued, "You fainted earlier, was it because of the expansion of space?"
"That should be it," Lin Mian remembered that when he first absorbed the B-level crystal, the energy inside did make him feel a little uncomfortable, but it was also within the tolerable range. However, soon, his body began to feel torn apart, and he fainted from the pain. "It's probably a form of self-protection. The space expanded too quickly, and falling asleep reduced the loss, which can alleviate the pain."
This makes sense. Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows in understanding. The energy impact of the B-level crystal was not enough to cause fainting. It was not that there was anything wrong with the other party's body.
This time it was truly a pleasant surprise. He lowered his eyes to look at the little rabbit who seemed to have little idea of his own abilities, bent his head and kissed him, "Lin Xiaotu, you've slept for so long, you shouldn't be sleepy now, right?"
Lin Mian didn't know the deep meaning of his words yet, and nodded naively, "I'm really not too sleepy. Brother Ji probably still needs some rest. It's only two o'clock, you should go to sleep."
Jiang Yan smiled upon hearing this, "I can't sleep either. Since it's still early, why don't we celebrate?"
Celebrate? How to celebrate in the middle of the night?
Before Lin Mian could figure it out, the man leaned over and when the kiss came, his hand also slid into his clothes.
His eyes widened slightly, then quickly drooped a little bit. As his eyelashes trembled, his eyes gradually became watery.

Early in the morning, Liang Nan came out of the service area, stood in the open air, and stretched in the sunlight.
Although there were some accidents yesterday evening, the night was calm and I had a good sleep. I feel refreshed now.
Liang Qun also came over from behind and saw his sister stretching and then stretching her legs, full of energy. He smiled, ignored her, turned around and went back to the car.
There was a sound of the RV door opening. Liang Nan turned around and saw the boss getting out of the car. She raised her hand and waved happily, "Brother Jiang, good morning!"
Jiang Jie glanced at her, and in a rare good mood, he raised his hand in response.
Liang Nan, who had already prepared herself for the other party to ignore her, was flattered. She immediately ran over and looked into the car behind him. When she didn't see anyone else coming out, she was a little disappointed. "Brother Jiang, he's not awake yet?"
Of course Jiang Jie wouldn't tell her that he'd kept her awake until almost dawn, and had just fallen asleep. He casually said, "Yeah."
Liang Nan frowned when he heard this. "What's wrong with his body? I didn't see any injuries yesterday. Is he sick?"
This time Jiang Jie glanced at her in silence.
Liang Nan pursed her lips when she was looked at, knowing that the other party was warning her not to ask questions that she shouldn't ask.
"Mr. Jiang, good morning." Afraid that his sister would say something thoughtless and upset him, Liang Yun also came over. He handed over the compressed biscuits he had taken from the car. "Would you like something to eat?"
Jiang Jie lowered his eyes and glanced at it, then did not answer. "No need."
After he said that, he turned around and went to the storage room outside the RV to get gasoline. He saw that there was not much gas left in the RV yesterday.
Seeing that he was busy, Liang Qun tactfully pulled her sister away.
Returning to the car, he stuffed the compressed biscuits in his hand to the other person and said, "After eating and resting, we should leave soon."
"Oh." Liang Nan responded, then turned to look at the RV in the distance, rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, do you think we should ask Brother Jiang if we can go together?"
Liang Qun was silent for a moment. If it were before yesterday, he would have kept his distance from Jiang Jie, who looked difficult to get along with.
But after what happened in the evening and seeing the other party's strength, he was a little shaken about this proposal.
Although men may seem unkind, as long as you don't provoke them and don't really annoy them, they will actually be fine.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have saved him and his sister yesterday.
Although he was cruel to those people, in this kind of world, one cannot survive long without being cruel. Moreover, it was those people who plotted against them first, and they brought such a result upon themselves.
If I could travel with someone like him, perhaps the future journey would be safer.
"Brother? Brother? What are you thinking about?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Liang Nan called him a few times and waved his hand in front of him.
Liang Qun came back to his senses, paused, and said, "We can go ask later, but remember, if Mr. Jiang doesn't agree, then don't say anything more."
Even if you can't go together, don't make others angry.
On the other side, Jiang Jie filled up the car with gas, stroked the black stain on his hands, and went back to the car to wash his hands.
As soon as he got up, he saw the person who was supposed to be sleeping. He didn't know when he got up and was removing the sheets beside the bed. "Why aren't you sleeping anymore?"
Lin Mian, who had just rolled up the bed sheet that was stained with something, heard him speak and rolled it up even tighter out of embarrassment. "I'm not sleepy anymore."
After sleeping for so long, his energy has been replenished, and his physical fitness is much stronger than before after waking up. Now he doesn’t feel particularly tired, except for a little sore waist.
Jiang Yan, who had washed his hands, walked up behind him, bent down and placed his chin on his shoulder. "You look so energetic. It seems I let you go too early."
It was getting late, and he really couldn't hold on any longer... Lin Mian didn't know how to refute him, so he had to change the subject, "I heard you talking to someone before, and the voice sounded familiar."
"Yeah," Jiang Jie put his arm around him, "It's the brother and sister we met before. We ran into them again at the service area here."
Lin Mian still remembered them and had a pretty good impression of those two people.
Now it seems that the man has some connection with them. After spending some time together, I have a certain understanding of his character. He is too lazy to say a word to people he doesn't like.
While he was lost in thought, Jiang Jie took the balled-up bed sheet from his hand and said, "I'm going to put the washing machine in. You wash up first."
His hands were empty, and Lin Mian subconsciously stretched out his hand, but the other party had already turned and left, so he had to retract it.
Forget it, he has a share of the things above anyway.
Lin Mian raised his hand to touch his nose, then turned and went into the bathroom.
