Then she thought of Cao Cao, who came to her door at night.
He Xiaobei opened the door and looked at Qing Yuansi standing outside and the two bodyguards behind him, feeling a little bit of a toothache:
"Old man, why are you here? No, how did you know I live here?"
Qing Yuansi was also surprised to see He Xiaobei. He was returning to his residence at night, and his neighbor, Old Man Zheng, came to him to play chess, and then told him about what happened to his grandson Zheng Xiao today.
He immediately became suspicious and investigated the residents around Zheng Xiao.
When he took He Xiaobei's information, he was stunned. This was the girl who saved him outside the laboratory.
So he stopped playing chess and hurried over regardless of the bodyguards' attempts to stop him.
Seeing the door in front of him open, he immediately glanced at the two people behind him, then signaled to He Xiaobei with his eyes.
He Xiaobei understood immediately. The old man was saying that the follower was so annoying that it was inconvenient to chat with him:
"Come in, it's hot outside, let's talk inside."
After saying that, He Xiaobei stepped aside and let Qing Yuansi and his group into the yard.
Qing Yuansi put his hand to his mouth and coughed:
"Ahem, you two just wait for me in the yard for a while. I'll go in and chat with the little girl and then come out."
The two looked at each other and finally nodded. He Xiaobei took Qing Siyuan into the house alone.
As soon as he entered the room, Qing Yuansi's expression changed:
"Zheng Xiao, uh, was it you who did what happened to your neighbor this morning? Did you use the potion to awaken yourself?"
He Xiaobei had no intention of hiding anything. Anyway, the old man already knew a lot, and she couldn't hide this matter.
She also felt that it was not bad to have someone she could trust temporarily and who knew her secrets. This feeling made her feel like she was no longer lonely.
So she took the old man to sit on the sofa and said:
"Yes, old man, you don't know, he tosses and turns for a long time every night. I do this for his health."
"You, you, you awakened and you did something like making people's gums bleed? You're so useless..."
The old man's tone was unfriendly, but He Xiaobei didn't mind. Although this was only the second time she and Qing Yuansi had met, she felt that she knew the old man had no ill intentions.
So she smiled happily:
"Applying skills to life is the correct way to use superpowers. I don't like fighting and killing."
After hearing this, the old man rolled his eyes without caring about his image:
"You don't like fighting? Do you believe that?"
He actually liked He Xiaobei very much. He felt that this little girl was annoying, but it was easy and natural for him to get along with her. Unlike other people, they approached him with a purpose:
"What superpower did you awaken?"
"Water."
After saying that, He Xiaobei took out a cup of iced fruit tea from the space and placed it in front of the old man. Qing Yuansi's eyes suddenly lit up. The last time he drank what she gave him, he felt that this water was unusual. Although he only took a sip:
"Is it the same ginger soup you gave me last time?"
He Xiaobei of course knew what he meant and continued to smile:
"Yes, drinking it will strengthen your body. This drink is my treat, and I won't charge you any points."
Qing Yuansi took the cup and drank the water. For a while, neither of them spoke. After a while, he looked at He Xiaobei with a serious expression.
"Thank you."
He Xiaobei naturally knew what he was thanking for:
"Just thanking you? No actual gesture?"
"What do you want in return? Should I report you to my superiors and ask for your commendation?"
The originally serious atmosphere became relaxed after the two of them spoke one by one.
"No, I was just joking. It doesn't matter if you don't express your feelings. But you promised not to expose me. You can't go back on your word."
"Have you ever thought about joining the official government? Up to now, there is only one awakened person besides you in our government. If you join the official government now, the treatment will be very good."
He Xiaobei was stunned. There was only one other person besides her? Then she would have to be more careful when using her supernatural powers from now on.
In order to completely dispel the old man's idea, she started to lie and pretended to be depressed:
"It's not that I don't want to join, but I may not be able to join."
Qing Yuansi frowned and said seriously:
"Can't join? Do you have any difficulties? Tell me, I might be able to help you solve it."
He Xiaobei sighed, then continued slowly:
"My father was a thief and was imprisoned when I was very young. Later, my mother stopped caring about me and left me alone at home every day. Then I would watch TV at home alone every night. At that time, I especially liked watching astronomy documentaries. I felt that the universe was vast like a painting, some places were dotted with bright stars, while other places were dark and boundless, containing endless mysteries. Gradually, I began to feel very insignificant, so insignificant that no matter what I did, I would eventually become a speck of dust. I began to think about the meaning of life, but later I still felt it was meaningless, so I chose to commit suicide."
She paused for a moment, as if trying to sort out her emotions.
"Of course I didn't die. I was sent to the hospital to see a psychiatrist. The doctor didn't even know if my condition was caused by the environment or the documentary. After seeing the doctor several times without any improvement, the hospital changed my doctor. The new doctor only said one sentence to me, and it is because of this sentence that I am still alive today."
"What?"
"Since you feel that no matter what you do, you will eventually become a speck of dust, why not take a good look at the world?"
Qing Yuansi's area of expertise is biology, and he really knows nothing about psychology. However, after listening to what He Xiaobei said, he felt a little touched, and the two fell silent again.
He Xiaobei looked at Qing Yuansi's expression and thought:
Is this old man so easy to fool? Oh, I'm just a timid, shy, introverted, socially anxious, quiet, beautiful girl, and yet you want me to risk my life for you? You can't blame me.
Feeling that the atmosphere was almost set, she put on a strong smile again:
"It's this sentence that has kept me alive until now. You don't have to feel sad for me. You see, I'm living a good life now. My goal in life is to travel around and enjoy life."
Qing Yuansi sighed:
"Yes, if you find a purpose in life, you can live a good life. Did you know that there was a physicist abroad who invited time travelers to a party?"
He Xiaobei shook her head. Actually, she knew it, but she just thought it was very boring. She just took a quick look at it at the time and didn't think much about it. She felt that the stage at this time could be left to Qing Yuansi to satisfy his desire to express himself.
