However, he quickly calmed down and, like everyone else, looked on with surprise and envy.
"So tell me, what should we do now?" Li Gangtie asked.
Li Sikai frowned and said, "Don't worry about her. As long as it doesn't affect everyone's work, let her do whatever she wants."
Li Gangtie nodded. When he went out, he found that Sun Sainan had already left, but she had explained Yuan Ruoxi's identity to the other guards before leaving.
"Well, Li Sikai is busy inside. Find a place to stay by yourself. We still have a lot of work to do." Li Gangtie looked at the delicate young girl in front of him. Although he wasn't used to it, he still unconsciously softened his voice a lot.
"Can I go in and take a look?" Yuan Ruoxi asked somewhat timidly.
"Whatever you want, as long as it doesn't disturb other people's work."
Having received an affirmative answer, Yuan Ruoxi smiled. She walked in with light steps, and the moment she saw the pit full of wheat, her eyes once again gleamed with greed.
"Yuan Ruoxi, you're practically drooling!" Li Sikai teased with a smile.
"Huh?" Yuan Ruoxi snapped out of her daze, wiped her mouth with her finger, but found it dry and there was nothing there. She unconsciously pouted and said, "No way, you're lying!"
Everyone witnessed this scene and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Yuan Ruoxi's face turned bright red again amidst the laughter.
Afterwards, everyone resumed their work, and Yuan Ruoxi found a corner to sit down, watching everyone come and go.
Ah, it's been so long since I've been this close to people. This place has such a lively atmosphere, I love it!
Yuan Ruoxi felt a surge of joy, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the men, some with delicate features, others with rugged looks, and still others with strong, masculine features.
Although Shen Yanming's hands were constantly moving, he was keeping a close eye on the so-called spatial ability user. In just a few minutes, he made a basic guess about her situation.
First of all, the wolfish glint in her eyes when she saw the wheat pit was unmistakable, indicating that her space was most likely just a storage space and had no planting function.
Furthermore, their obsession with food suggests that their space was discovered after the apocalypse, though the exact time is unclear, but they certainly did not have a large stockpile of supplies.
Secondly, judging from her undisguised expression and the fact that she was protected by a guard team, it can be inferred that she was likely discovered to possess spatial abilities because she did not know how to conceal her presence and thus revealed her whereabouts.
Moreover, she was extremely lucky to be discovered by the authorities, so she was only used as a mobile warehouse and supply vehicle, lacking freedom but with a stable life.
Finally, judging from the way she kept glancing at her teammates, it can be inferred that the girl is not a well-behaved person and is very likely to be attracted to men.
With this in mind, Shen Yanming walked silently to the edge of the wheat pit, scooped up some black ash from the wall, and then, without anyone noticing, smeared it hard on his face twice.
Haha, I'm being too cautious, actually. But it's probably for the best; a dark face is unappealing, so I guess I won't attract anyone's attention and cause unnecessary trouble.
Time flew by, and finally, the supply truck was full. Given the gravity of the situation, Zhou Qi decided to personally lead a team back to Qin Yuncheng.
After they left, everyone saw that there was no more transportation, so they sat down to rest.
Because everyone was very curious about spatial abilities, they couldn't help but steal glances at Yuan Ruoxi.
At first, this little girl was sitting there fanning herself without a care in the world, but with so many eager eyes staring at her, even someone as slow to react as her noticed something was amiss.
She asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No, no, I'm just curious about what spatial abilities are like!" The guard closest to Yuan Ruoxi stammered, his face burning.
Yuan Ruoxi didn't expect the handsome young man opposite her to be so shy. She chuckled and said, "If you want to know, you can just say so. Why are you sneaking around looking at me? Do you think I'm pretty?"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that the other person's face turned even redder. Li Sikai was afraid that she would cause another incident like Tao Jianian, so he quickly interrupted, "Stop messing around. It's normal for people to be curious. If you want to show it, then show it. If you don't want to, then don't tease her."
Yuan Ruoxi rolled her eyes and said to Li Sikai, "Mind your own business!"
Then, with a grin, she looked at the handsome young man opposite her and said, "Hey bro, shall I show you a magic trick?" With that, she placed her hand on a rock next to her, and with a thought, the rock disappeared.
Shen Yanming paid attention throughout and did not sense any spatial fluctuations. It seems that even if both parties have spatial abilities, as long as the other party does not discover the storage or storage of items, this disguise can still be worn.
Then, looking at the guard who had asked the question, and seeing the genuine surprise and joy on his face, Shen Yanming revealed a meaningful smile, thinking to himself, "This is going to be interesting."
That's right, the innocent-looking young man opposite Yuan Ruoxi is Tong Xianbao. The same Tong Xianbao who once coveted the space, even feigning illness to gather information, and later, after learning of the existence of the Fairy of Nancheng, returned to the guard team to dig for resources.
However, his heart was never in his work; he slacked off every day, taking every opportunity to be lazy. Although he worked more than twelve hours a day, just like the other guards, his dedication was far less than that of the others.
So look at all these guards, their clothes are dirty and their faces are black, but Tong Xianbao is clean and his face is fair and tender. He doesn't look like someone who has been tormented by the scorching sun for so long at all.
That's how he stood out; among a group of rough, old men, he was like a crane among chickens.
Watching the two flirting so openly, oblivious to everyone else, Li Sikai could only shake his head helplessly. He had tried to stop them, but what could he do with such blatant "mutual affection"? Forcefully stop them? Forget it, he didn't have the time or inclination.
Anyway, things have already been made clear. Even if another "Tao Jianian" comes along, the consequences will have to be borne by that person alone.
Meanwhile, Tong Xianbao was overjoyed. He never imagined that he would make contact with a space-age ability user like this. After all, Lu Nanfang was still going out early and returning late every day to inquire about information.
Therefore, under Yuan Ruoxi's unintentional boasting and Tong Xianbao's deliberate flattery, the two, each with their own thoughts, quickly established a revolutionary friendship.
Shen Yanming quietly ate his melon on the side, and even secretly put some grain into the wheat pit for five minutes to verify his guess. However, he did so very slowly, so the total amount increased only slightly.
While secretly releasing the grain, he was also observing Yuan Ruoxi's expression. Seeing her chatting happily with Tong Xianbao, he understood what was going on.
