"I feel I can do it myself, you go do the mission." Ye Qi didn't want to be a burden to Jiang Qingwan.
“You definitely can.” Jiang Qingwan pouted. “You’re just looking weak right now. Actually, your physical strength is already at the next level.”
"My precious spring. It's so magical. You're so lucky."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qi tried to lift his hand and found that his whole body felt relaxed.
The pain I felt earlier is gone.
Ye Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tidied himself up.
With a hint of surprise in his voice, he said, "It really is. My superpower reserves have returned."
Jiang Qingwan stroked her chin, pondering, "I feel like your demeanor has changed."
It's not just the spiritual spring that enhances one's appearance.
Its aura is indescribable, like the aurora borealis hanging in the dark night of the cold polar regions—splendid, dangerous, and mysterious.
Ye Qi lowered his eyes, concealing all his emotions. When he looked up again, his expression was much gentler. He said softly, "How could that be? I've been here the whole time."
Jiang Qingwan looked at it again and muttered, "Strange."
Ye Qi pretended not to hear and urged, "The time to prove my strength is coming soon. Let's see what it means to make zombies tremble in fear."
Jiang Qingwan shrugged. "You should never say a man is weak."
Ye Qi glanced at Jiang Qingwan, his tone speechless: "So you knew too. What man can accept being told he's weak?"
The first time you said I was delicate. The second time you said I looked frail.
That's why I'm so eager to prove myself.
Jiang Qingwan opened the back door and said, "Until you prove your abilities, you should just be my driver."
Ye Qi got out of the car and walked to the driver's seat. His steps were no longer like lead, as if there was an invisible air cushion under his feet, making him feel much more relaxed.
"Are you just going to let Jiang Si off like this?" Ye Qi asked casually, stepping on the gas.
"Do I look that kind?" Jiang Qingwan asked back.
"You are indeed very kind. You saved me." Ye Qi's voice was gentle and sincere.
"Are you biased? I saved you because I was paid." Jiang Qingwan conjured up a few crystal cores and tossed them around in her hand.
“No. You are indeed kind,” Ye Qi reiterated his opinion.

In my previous life.
He almost died in the underground warehouse.
Because he was bitten on the leg by a zombie, his heartless companions abandoned him in the basement.
He didn't turn into a zombie.
He also unexpectedly awakened dual abilities related to time and space.
It was simply because his leg injury was too severe.
They had no way to find food and water to replenish their energy.
As he lay dying, Jiang Qingwan, who was passing by, found him.
Holding a water bottle with a dented ink-wash print, I fed him a few sips of water and left him a bag of frozen, hard pieces of bread.
He drank a few mouthfuls of water and slowly chewed the bits of steamed bun.
Later, it happened that Jiang Si had the same water bottle at the Qingshan base.
The dents are in the exact same position.
He stayed at the Qingshan base, silently repaying his savior and even establishing a friendship with her, allowing her free access to his laboratory.
Ironically, Jiang Qingwan was enslaved and exploited by her parents and sister, and was constantly forced to go out on missions.
I mostly stay at the base to conduct research.
I've never encountered it even once.
Sometimes I don’t think Jiang Si is my savior, but the kettle is definitely in Jiang Si’s hands.
Whenever this thought arises, I extinguish it myself.
It must be because he was hovering on the edge of life and death and didn't see things clearly.
Until someone died in the lab next door.
The moment I saw her face clearly, my throat tightened and tears involuntarily streamed down my face.
I just realized that.
It turns out I had never misremembered.
"Dr. Ye, why are you crying?" a colleague asked with concern.
Make up a random excuse: "It's nothing. I just got a bit of a smell from the experimental gas."
The truth came to light after the investigation.
The kettle was given to Jiang Si because she thought Jiang Qingwan's kettle kept the water warmer, and she begged her parents to give it to her.
Ye Qi felt like a joke.
They are undeniably accomplices.
They suffered a crushing defeat.
