Chapter 57 You don't trust me?
The car slowly drove up to a two-story villa.
Qin Zhuo brought the car to a steady stop, quickly pulled out the keys, got out of the car first, and said to everyone, "This is it."
Everyone followed Qin Zhuo and filed into the house.
As soon as the door opened, Yu Xiang felt a moment of disappointment.
"It looks so nice from the outside, how come it's like this inside?"
The villa was deserted, with only a few simple pieces of furniture. These pieces were scattered about, with different styles and colors, clearly not matching, and looked out of place in this spacious and grand villa.
This was obviously set up later by the base staff.
Qiao Yue crossed her arms and said, "This is already pretty good. There aren't many people left who can still live in a villa in the apocalypse. Let's be content."
Qin Zhuo kicked Chen Yunfei, who had collapsed on the sofa as soon as he entered the room, and said irritably, "Get up. We haven't tidied up the things in the room yet. We still need to move those over."
Chen Yunfei was comfortably nestled on the sofa when he heard what Qin Zhuo said. He reluctantly pouted and slowly stood up.
"I thought I could finally rest, but we haven't had a moment's rest since we got back to base."
Qin Zhuo then turned his gaze to Youxiang, "Little Youzi, let's go help."
Let Little Pomelo put the things into the space, and it won't take long to move everything.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yue immediately perked up, "I'll go too."
Just as Qiao Yan was about to call out to Qiao Yue to stop her from going, Qin Zhuo's gaze fell on Qiao Yan, signaling her to be quiet.
"Okay, let's go together. Then Qiao Yan will stay behind alone."
Qin Zhuo agreed to Qiao Yue's request.
Qiao Yan was stunned for a moment.
If he sends his sister over, wouldn't that mean she'll discover Xiaoyouzi's spatial ability? Is Qin Zhuo planning to tell his sister?
Qiao Yue didn't think too much about it; she happily took Youxiang's hand and walked outside.
I wonder what the residential buildings in the base are like. It's a good opportunity to go and take a look.
Qiao Yan watched Qiao Yue's cheerful figure, her eyes filled with worry, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Chen Yunfei seemed to see through Qiao Yan's thoughts and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Brother Qin won't make things difficult for your sister. I'll keep an eye on her for you, and I'll definitely protect her if anything happens."
Qiao Yan finally felt a little relieved. "Thank you!"
Chen Yunfei scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled sheepishly, "You're welcome."
Afterwards, Chen Yunfei drove everyone to the residential building where they had stayed before.
The group went to Qin Zhuo's house first.
As soon as she entered the house, Qiao Yue couldn't help but widen her eyes. "Qin Zhuo, I didn't expect that a boy like you could decorate his house so warmly. It's not like your style at all. I thought boys' houses were all messy."
When Youxiang heard Qiao Yue praise the house for being well-decorated, her eyes sparkled. "Yueyue, I decorated all of this!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yue cupped Youxiang's face in her hands and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Little Youzi. That explains it. The arrangement is really nice."
Yu Xiang was overjoyed by the compliment, revealing two adorable little tiger teeth and smiling so hard her eyes narrowed into slits.
Qiao Yue frowned as she looked at all the things in the room. "There's so much stuff. It looks like I'll have to make several trips to get it all done."
After saying that, she deftly rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair but strong forearms, looking ready to get down to business.
Then, she turned her head and found that the others were still standing there like wooden stakes, not moving at all.
Qiao Yue looked puzzled. "Why aren't you all starting to work? What are you doing standing there like statues?"
Qin Zhuo looked at Youxiang, "Little Youzi, pack up everything you can take. Oh, and don't touch the basic furniture; that was already in the house, it's not ours."
Yuxiang nodded, stretched out her little hand, and prepared to put away the soft beanbag chair first.
Seeing this, Qiao Yue grabbed Youxiang's hand and glared at Qin Zhuo with dissatisfaction, "How could you let Xiao Youzi do it all by herself! Isn't this blatant bullying of Xiao Youzi? It's too much!"
After saying that, she turned her attention to Chen Yunfei, pointed her finger at his nose, and said angrily, "And you, you just stood there watching the show, not helping at all."
Yu Xiang quickly waved her hand, "Yueyue, Zhuozhuo didn't bully me."
Qiao Yue didn't believe it. "Isn't this bullying? Xiao Youzi, don't speak up for him. He's a big bad guy."
Yuka hurriedly explained, "I can move everything with just a flick of my finger, it's so convenient."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yue's eyes widened. "Huh? What did you say? How is that possible?"
Yu Xiang stopped explaining and simply reached out and gently tapped the beanbag chair.
The beanbag chair vanished without a trace in an instant.
Qiao Yue stared at the incredible scene before her, her mouth agape. "This, this could be..."
Qin Zhuo calmly explained from the side, "Xiao Youzi has spatial abilities."
Qiao Yue was taken aback at first, then her eyes sparkled with excitement. She happily hugged Youxiang and said, "Little Youzi, I didn't expect you to be so amazing! Besides water-based abilities, you also have spatial abilities. I'll be relying on you to protect me from now on."
Yu Xiang blushed with delight at the praise, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she nodded happily, "Yes, yes, I'll protect Yueyue."
Qin Zhuo stared at this scene, stunned for a moment.
Qiao Yue's reaction was quite different from what he had expected.
Qiao Yue suddenly seemed to realize something and asked in confusion, "Huh? That's not right. Why didn't you tell me before that Xiao Youzi has spatial abilities? Does my sister know?"
Chen Yunfei replied, "Your sister knows."
Qiao Yue immediately turned a suspicious look to Qin Zhuo, "Did you stop my sister from telling me?"
Qin Zhuo thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
“It’s me. The fewer people who know about Xiaoyou’s spatial ability, the safer she will be.”
Although he didn't tell Qiao Yan not to tell Qiao Yue, there were indeed reasons why Qiao Yan didn't tell Qiao Yue.
Qiao Yue raised her eyebrows and stared at Qin Zhuo with displeasure. "Although I'm a little angry that you don't trust me and didn't tell me that Xiao Youzi has spatial abilities, I think you did the right thing when you think about it carefully."
"People with spatial abilities are extremely rare. This ability is both an enviable stroke of luck and a dangerous thing that attracts covetous eyes. Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone."
Qin Zhuo's deep eyes were fixed on Qiao Yue, his gaze scrutinizing her. His lips were slightly pursed, and he didn't say a word, as if he were assessing Qiao Yue's credibility.
Seeing that Qin Zhuo remained silent, Qiao Yue felt a surge of anger. "What? You don't trust me? What I, Qiao Yue, say is what I mean, I will always keep my word!"
