Ruan Tian's face stiffened, and if you looked closely, you could see a hint of guilt in her expression.
This shocked Bai Chulan. He looked at Ruan Tian, still shaken, and said with a skeptical attitude:
"No way... there's a fourth person, right?"
“…Um,” Ruan Tian coughed, silently shifting her gaze away, “No, how could there be a fourth person?”
Ruan Tian didn't dare to look Bai Chulan in the eye at all. She was actually not used to lying, and every time she lied, her eyes would subconsciously shift to one side.
"Ruan Tian, could you look me in the eye when you say that?"
“Haha,” Ruan Tian swallowed hard, then bravely looked Bai Chulan in the eye.
Unfortunately, they hadn't even made eye contact for a few seconds before she gave up and stared timidly at the ground.
Bai Chulan asked that question at first simply to test Ruan Tian and see how many people were around her.
I originally thought that having three people would be the best I could do.
But when Ruan Tian showed this guilty look, Bai Chulan instantly realized that there might not just be the four of them.
There are likely to be even more people in the future!
"Oh, I did it because I had some unavoidable reasons, didn't I!"
Ruan Tian looked at Bai Chulan, carefully raised her arm, grabbed Bai Chulan's sleeve, and gently shook it twice.
Seeing Ruan Tian's pitiful appearance, Bai Chulan forcibly suppressed the bitterness in his heart. In fact, he knew very well that Ruan Tian's matter had nothing to do with him.
However, the two of them had only had some contact before due to some other matters.
But Ruan Tian is a genuine person, and her relationship with him was only due to a previous dispute over interests.
Therefore, this does not mean that Ruan Tian's affairs are his affairs.
And what is Bai Chulan's relationship with Ruan Tian?
He has no official status, and now, taking advantage of Ruan Tian's good temper, he has already crossed the line by questioning her a few times.
Bai Chulan had no right to question Ruan Tian's decision. As for who Ruan Tian wanted to see and what kind of relationship she wanted to develop with whom, those were all Ruan Tian's own business.
There is absolutely no relationship between him and Bai Chulan.
How could someone as intelligent as Bai Chulan not know this principle?
But he couldn't control himself; he couldn't control his thoughts at all.
Every time I see Ruan Tian, I wish I could hide her away, hide her in a place where only I can see her.
He wanted Ruan Tian to belong only to him, to completely transform this glimmer of light that everyone desired into something that belonged entirely to him.
If I were to tell Ruan Tian such a dark idea, it would definitely scare her to death.
Bai Chulan knew that she could only keep this feeling hidden in her heart and could never tell anyone.
"I'm sorry, Ruan Tian, I was too demanding of you. You didn't do anything wrong."
Ruan Tian stared in disbelief at Bai Chulan's sudden softening, unsure of what to say.
"Did something happen to you?"
Ruan Tian stretched out her hand in front of Bai Chulan and gently shook it twice, wanting to see what Bai Chulan was thinking.
"Nothing's wrong, I'm fine right now."
Hearing Bai Chulan repeat himself with emphasis, Ruan Tian immediately realized that he must be hiding something.
However, for some reason, Bai Chulan was unwilling to tell him about this.
Ruan Tian thought about it for a moment and felt that everyone has secrets to some extent. Since Bai Chulan didn't want to talk about it, then so be it.
"I see. Well then, take a look at these two people. Is there any hope for them?"
Ruan Tian pointed at Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng on the ground, her expression showing some worry.
Although Bai Chulan had convinced herself that everyone has secrets, she still felt very uncomfortable when Ruan Tian showed her special feelings for others.
"What exactly is your relationship with these two people?"
Bai Chulan's face was hidden in darkness, and when Ruan Tian turned around, she couldn't see the expression on Bai Chulan's face at all.
"Huh? How should I put it, these two people are my saviors?"
From a certain perspective, Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng were indeed Ruan Tian's saviors; without their gratitude, Ruan Tian would definitely be dead.
Bai Chulan was silent for three seconds, then continued to ask:
"And what about this egg? What's its relationship to you?"
He could sense that this egg was definitely not simple; Bai Chulan had actually detected the aura of a fellow being on an egg.
Ruan Tian honestly explained where the egg came from. After listening, Bai Chulan seemed to be thinking and said:
"It seems that this egg is indeed extraordinary. It belongs to the element of light, which gives me a strong sense of resonance."
He actually knew that Ruan Tian's special ability was that she could rely on external energy to infinitely expand her own ability.
This kind of superpower would be invincible if possessed by anyone.
Now that Ruan Tian can obtain this magical egg through this amazing ability, Bai Chulan is not surprised.
"How about I give you this egg to take with you for now?"
Ruan Tian thought to herself that it would be a waste to have this egg on her, as it wouldn't be of much use.
Why not just give it to Bai Chulan? Both of them are light-attribute, which could help strengthen their bond and power.
Upon hearing that Ruan Tian was actually going to give him the egg, Bai Chulan frowned for a moment, but quickly relaxed.
"Ruan Tian, do you trust me that much? You just gave me the egg?"
"Of course, I trust you completely! Entrusting the egg to you is an excellent decision."
Looking at Ruan Tian's bright eyes, Bai Chulan ultimately did not refuse and accepted the egg.
"Okay, I'll try to incubate it for you and see if it can hatch."
"Thank you for your help!"
"As for these two people," Bai Chulan crouched down and looked closely at Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng.
"If it were before, when my superpowers hadn't been fully developed, it wouldn't have been an easy task to completely save these two people."
However, during the time he was separated from Ruan Tian, Bai Chulan's superpowers were well developed, and his healing ability was absolutely unique in the apocalypse!
“In the past, I could only heal a person’s physical wounds, but now I can also heal a person’s emotional trauma.”
Compared to before, Bai Chulan's ability level is indeed much stronger.
If it were anyone else, it would be virtually impossible for Bai Chulan to save their life. Whether Bai Chulan wants to do it or not depends entirely on his mood.
If Ruan Tian becomes the person who seeks his help, then Bai Chulan would give his life for Ruan Tian.
"Is there any hope for these two people now?"
Sensing Ruan Tian's anxiety, Bai Chulan reached out and gently rubbed her head.
"Don't worry, I will save these two people."
