Jiang Qingwan held Gu Ningyue's hand and gently removed her soft, boneless hand from her body.
After organizing his thoughts, he slowly began, "I don't agree because I feel the risks along the way are unknown."
Gu Ningyue interrupted anxiously, "It's okay, I'm not afraid. Passionate comic artists are born with the spirit of adventurers."
Jiang Qingwan said solemnly, "I'm not sure if I can protect your safety. You seem like a very nice person."
Gu Ningyue retorted, "Adults are responsible for their own actions, and I will protect myself."
Jiang Qingwan lowered her head and smiled faintly: "Really? Take care of yourself. You think you can protect me? You're overestimating yourself."
"I can ensure my safety when I go out alone."
"But the thing you did just now, trying to stop the grenade, felt like you were doing something pointless."
"You're a very loyal person. I don't want you to pay any price because of me."
Gu Ningyue jumped up from the sofa, her voice tinged with anger: "What do you mean by futile efforts? This is my own affection. I did it willingly."
Why is it said in such a worthless way?
"And can friendship and the cost be compared?"
“I feel that saving you is more meaningful than my own survival.”
"You yourself said that I'm willing to pay the price, so why aren't you willing to take me with you?"
Gu Ningyue never expected that her instinctive action would put pressure on Jiang Qingwan.
This shows that Jiang Qingwan is a very responsible person.
But these kinds of people are also annoying.
There's a sense that I'm doing this for your own good.
"Why don't you consider my thoughts?" Gu Ningyue asked again, posing a probing question.
Jiang Qingwan also sat up straight and sighed slowly.
"I can tell you're very loyal and affectionate. That's why I'm afraid of losing you."
Gu Ningyue shook her head, her gaze resolute: "Afraid of losing me, so you abandoned me first, is that it?"
Jiang Qingwan found it hard to resist such sincere and passionate feelings.
Looking back.
They are all parents and sisters; they are blood relatives.
But he was the first to abandon her.
Now some people are actually questioning her, saying: Is she going to abandon someone?
In her previous life, when she was the team leader, no one ever said that she would abandon others.
That's a really fresh and interesting question.
Jiang Qingwan gently tapped the tassels on the sofa cushion with her fingers. When she came to her senses, she found a piece of yarn stuck to her finger.
Gu Ningyue remained silent, waiting for Jiang Qingwan's reply.
“But we’ve only known each other for two days. Strictly speaking, it’s only been one day,” Jiang Qingwan said hesitantly.
"Don't you know? Some people click instantly. I've decided on you." Gu Ningyue explained earnestly.
Jiang Qingwan had no concerns about Gu Ningyue's character.
This was witnessed by everyone in the previous life.
In this life, she wanted to save herself when she was still insignificant.
This further confirms that Gu Ningyue is a good person.
Fine, since the metal-type superpower master from my past life wants to follow me so much.
Refusing this kindness time and time again would make me seem ungrateful.
Jiang Qingwan stood up, grabbed Gu Ningyue, who was still angry, by the shoulder, and pulled her to the sofa to sit down together.
Looking directly at Gu Ningyue, he spoke gently yet firmly, "Then I'll agree for now. I'll tell you about some things later."
Gu Ningyue calmed down a bit. "Okay. Remember, friendship and cost are not on opposite ends of a scale. They cannot be compared."
Jiang Qingwan forced a smile and squeezed Gu Ningyue's fingers to comfort her.
"Okay, I understand. Then I also want to tell you the most important thing: always prioritize your own safety."
"When faced with life and death, how can one think about so much?" Gu Ningyue pouted.
“Then try learning it.” Jiang Qingwan’s tone was uncompromising.
The power outage came so quietly.
There was still electricity when I left in the morning, but it completely went out of control when I came back in the afternoon.
The air conditioner cannot be turned on, and the room feels like an icebox.
The dim outdoor light couldn't illuminate anything.
"Why don't you stay here tonight?" Jiang Qingwan invited.
“That suits me perfectly. Anyway, it doesn’t make any difference whether the water or electricity is cut off.” Gu Ningyue agreed immediately.
“There is a difference. Because the people living here are different.” After saying this, Jiang Qingwan held a flashlight in her left hand and a small flame in her right.
The flames emitted a soft, non-glaring light, radiating a gentle warmth.
"Look. A miniature artificial sun." Jiang Qingwan threw out a fireball.
The fireball slowly rose into the air and hung in the center of the living room.
"Here's a flashlight for you. You can use it for lighting." Jiang Qingwan then handed the flashlight to Gu Ningyue for everyday use.
"You're amazing, you even have a spatial ability." Gu Ningyue took the flashlight, her face full of envy.
“From now on, my space is your space.” Jiang Qingwan considered Gu Ningyue as one of her own, so she naturally wouldn’t hesitate to offer her help.
“Okay. My space. Then pack these things up.” Gu Ningyue pointed to the shopping cart and several stacks of supplies on the ground.
Following the direction of her finger, Gu Ningyue saw the pile of condom boxes again.
"You've really gone too far. You even left me with condoms before you left."
Jiang Qingwan smiled gently: "How can you get pregnant in the apocalypse? It's too dangerous."
Gu Ningyue threw herself into Jiang Qingwan's arms, clenched her fists, and gently punched her shoulders and neck, burying her face in her hands as she said, "Hey, is this pregnancy? Whether you can find a man or not is another matter."
Jiang Qingwan felt the warm breath in her arms and stroked Gu Ningyue's soft hair, like a fluffy little animal.
"You just don't want to find one, don't you? How could you not find a man? What do you think of Xia Mang and Wang Chengcheng?" Jiang Qingwan retorted with a wicked sense of humor.
Gu Ningyue slapped away Jiang Qingwan's hand that was messing with her hair, propped herself up, and looked dissatisfied.
"That's going too far. How can you steal someone else's love? You're too late to know, these two are really gigolos! The rich woman put them here."
"Are they the same rich woman?" Jiang Qingwan wondered, watching the drama unfold.
"No, it's just that they happen to live close by. They got to know each other after a while," Gu Ningyue explained.
"Oh, I see. I thought the rich woman was going all out, letting two people live together." Jiang Qingwan said with some regret, this wasn't exciting enough.
"That's a bit of a pity," Gu Ningyue agreed.
Jiang Qingwan put all the supplies into her spatial storage and said with a grin, "Follow me, and I won't let you follow me for nothing. I'll make sure you eat nine meals in three days."
Gu Ningyue does math problems, and eats nine meals in three days, which means she eats three meals a day.
"Wow, this is just normal life. I've been with you all this time, haven't I had any extra meals?"
Jiang Qingwan chimed in, "Fried chicken, beer, and barbecue?"
