Chapter 14: Testing



Xi Chunzhi had already let go of Tu Ran's hand.

While Tu Ran was looking at the outside world, Xi Chunzhi was also looking at her.

"Tu Ran." Xi Chunzhi suddenly called out her name.

"Hmm?" Tu Ran turned around and looked at her.

Xi Chunzhi's eyes were unusually calm, like the cold sea water, so strange that it was frightening.

Tu Ran's pupils shrank and she had a bad feeling.

In an instant, a dagger came towards him.

Tu Ran's heart once again jumped to her throat, but unlike every time she faced danger before, this time her body did not dodge, but instead began to actively fight back.

Following her body's muscle memory, she turned around quickly and grabbed Xi Chunzhi's wrist at a speed that even Tu Ran herself couldn't believe.

The blade scraped across her neck, leaving a shallow trail of blood.

An alarm sounded in the elevator and red lights flashed.

"Junior pioneer Tu Ran, junior pioneer Xi Chunzhi, please abide by federal laws. Fighting is prohibited. Fighting is prohibited."

"What are you doing?!" Tu Ran couldn't believe it.

Under the illumination of the red alarm light, the bright red bloodstain on Tu Ran's neck was extremely eye-catching.

Xi Chunzhi saw it and his gaze fell on Tu Ran's face. On that familiar face, there was vigilance and coldness.

This was the impression she had of Tu Ran.

It was completely different from the woman who had previously acted pitiful and weak.

"I didn't do anything." Shaking off Tu Ran's hand, Xi Chunzhi sheathed the sharp blade.

She stood back in her original position, leaning against the transparent glass, with no intention of explaining.

The shrill alarm in the elevator space has stopped.

However, Tu Ran no longer dared to turn her back to Xi Chunzhi. She took a step back, and the two stood face to face diagonally.

Tu Ran felt a stinging pain in her neck. She raised her hand and touched it. Looking at the bright red blood on her fingertips, she suddenly had some guesses. Could it be that Xi Chunzhi had begun to doubt her?

Maybe he was testing her just now.

If she was an alien, it would have been difficult for her to continue hiding in the human body in such a dangerous situation.

After figuring this out, Tu Ran relaxed her tense nerves a little.

Xi Chunzhi and the original body were good friends, and it was only a matter of time before she would notice something was wrong with the original body.

Tu Ran never thought that she could hide forever, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

Tu Ran smiled bitterly inwardly, not knowing whether it was because her acting skills were too poor or she was too alert.

It seems that we have no choice but to show our cards.

If she was lucky, Xi Chunzhi would still treat her as a friend. It would be even better if he could give her some help. After all, it would be a bit difficult for her to survive in this completely unfamiliar world.

But Tu Ran did not choose to say it directly in the elevator.

She still remembered the alarm just now.

The fact that they could be identified and that they were fighting showed that the elevator was not a hidden place.

Xi Chunzhi just called her name without saying anything else to express doubt. He must have realized that the elevator was not hidden.

The two remained silent.

"bite"

The elevator door opened.

Xi Chunzhi walked out first, followed closely by Tu Ran.

I was originally curious as to why Xi Chunzhi went upstairs instead of downstairs when he said he wanted to take her home.

It wasn't until she saw the scene in front of her that Tu Ran understood.

A suspended track was erected in front of me, with things like bus stops standing on both sides. Many people were already standing under the signs waiting for the bus.
