Xu Neng finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time:
"Last time I asked you why you risked your life to save Chen Nian, and you said it was to repay his kindness. What exactly was his kindness to you that made you risk your life for him?"
Looking at Xu Neng's reddened eyes, Wang Feifei realized the reason for his anger: was he jealous?
She quickly explained:
"You misunderstood. I brought the grenade just to scare Chu Xiang. It wouldn't explode. It was really just to intimidate him."
Xu Neng looked at Wang Feifei with heartache, his hand unconsciously stroking her cheek, and said in a hoarse voice:
"From now on, please don't risk your life anymore, okay? If there's someone who absolutely needs to be saved..."
At this point, Xu Neng felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He no longer wanted to dwell on Chen Nian's past with her, fearing that the answer would be too much to bear.
He took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice:
"If there's someone who absolutely needs to be saved... tell me, let me go, okay?"
Wang Feifei was deeply shocked. Her eyes trembled as she stared at Xu Neng, repeatedly asking herself:
Was he worried that I was in danger?
Xu Neng's eyes were filled with deep affection, making Wang Feifei unable to look away. Smelling the sandalwood scent on him, Wang Feifei's mind went blank for a moment.
At this moment, his warm palms were still gently stroking her face, but Wang Feifei felt no aversion at all; on the contrary, she was completely absorbed in it...
Reason told her that if things continued like this, she would succumb!
Wang Feifei composed herself, took a step back, and increased the distance between them.
Xu Neng's hand hovered in mid-air for a few seconds before finally lowering it.
Wang Feifei said somewhat distantly:
"Okay, don't worry, I won't put myself in danger again. I'll live my life peacefully here."
Xu Neng paused for two seconds, then lowered his eyelashes, perfectly concealing the bitterness in his heart, before casually changing the subject, saying:
"Okay, I'll teach you how to use this weapon. With diligent training, taking down three people in a long-range combo shouldn't be a big problem."
Wang Feifei's attention was quickly drawn to the crossbow in her hand:
"It's so powerful, is it a repeating crossbow?"
"Um."
Xu Neng took out a stack of short arrows from his bag:
"The only drawback is that there are only sixty short arrows that match this crossbow, so we should use them sparingly. Also, training will wear down the arrowheads, so we should only use six for daily training."
Wang Feifei lovingly stroked the crossbow; its exquisite and meticulous craftsmanship made her adore every detail.
The size is perfect for me, and it's absolutely perfect as a weapon.
She was so excited that she hugged Xu Neng tightly and jumped up and down several times:
"Thank you, I really like it!"
This was the first time Xu Neng had been so close to Wang Feifei. He froze, standing there stiffly, not daring to move, letting Wang Feifei rub against him...
Wang Feifei didn't notice the change in Xu Neng's body. After getting off him, she continued to play with the crossbow and even took an arrow and stuck it into the arrow hole.
"is that so?"
After teasing her, she tossed him aside, leaving Xu Neng both amused and exasperated. Seeing her serious expression, he couldn't help but lean down, embrace Wang Feifei, grab her hand, and insert the short arrow:
"This is how it's installed, you know?"
"Should arrows be inserted into the other two arrow holes as well?"
Wang Feifei pointed to the center of the crossbow, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Yes, you'll need to install it if you want to fire in rapid succession."
The air was still filled with her sweet fragrance. Xu Neng didn't want to leave. He bent down, drew two short arrows, and handed them to Wang Feifei, who was still fiddling with her crossbow in her arms, saying affectionately:
"Give it a try."
With Xu Neng's personal demonstration, Wang Feifei quickly learned how to attach the short arrow. She excitedly said:
"Can I try it?"
Xu Neng stopped her:
"No, the cows are still here, it's a bit dangerous."
Xu Neng was so thoughtful. Wang Feifei turned to look at him and found him hugging her from behind. She blushed and walked away a few steps, whispering:
"Let's practice on another floor."
"Okay, I've taught you today. You need to practice diligently from now on."
"Um."
As they spoke, they put on their clothes and went up to the 27th floor. There were many shelves and large boilers there. Boilers cannot withstand any risk, so it won't work.
So they went down another floor, to the 26th floor, which was basically filled with all kinds of supplies, but it was also risky, so they decided against it.
Furthermore, the walls on both floors are insulated to prevent the room temperature from getting too low. If the insulation layer is damaged by arrows or crossbows, it cannot be repaired.
After this screening process, only 25 layers are left to act recklessly.
Xu Neng was a little shocked when he looked at the supplies on the two floors. Although he knew that Wang Feifei had stockpiled a lot of supplies, he did not expect it to be so large.
He looked at the shelves that reached the ceiling and filled the entire house. He was filled with lingering fear. What would have happened to Wang Feifei if the "Ice Society" had taken over last time?
Xu Neng pulled Wang Feifei aside and asked worriedly:
"Does Xiao Liu know about these things?"
“He doesn’t know that last time I cut off the power to the elevator, he couldn’t go anywhere; he just sat in the living room for a while.”
Xu Neng recalled Xiao Liu's state of mind; he certainly didn't seem confident. It was fortunate that they survived this crisis.
Seeing Xu Neng deep in thought with his brows furrowed, Wang Feifei couldn't help but ask:
What are you thinking about?
Xu Neng's gaze towards Wang Feifei was filled with tenderness:
"If there's any danger in the future, please let me know immediately, okay?"
"No, I'm safe here, unless... unless I encounter the 'Frost Society'."
