Being stared at by He Sizhao's cold gaze, he swallowed subconsciously.
He was very familiar with the boss's look. Whenever he encountered an enemy or a zombie and wanted to kill it with one blow, he would show this look.
This is not just coldness, it is clearly full of murderous intent!
Wu Yi was so panicked that he instinctively wanted to turn around and run away, but he glanced into the tent and saw Jiang Chuyi's confused and innocent look, and suddenly a fearless look appeared on his face.
He closed his eyes, rushed to Jiang Chuyi, and opened his arms to block her.
He didn't even open his eyes, but just howled at the top of his lungs.
"Boss, boss, boss! Even though you're the person I admire the most, I have to say something to you about this!" If it weren't for the fear on his face, one would have believed his righteous words. "Even if we all know you like Xiaoyi, you can't treat her like this regardless of her physical condition! You're doing the wrong thing!"
Even when facing two second-level zombies at the same time, He Sizhao had never shown such an ugly expression as he did now.
Jiang Chuyi stretched his neck and poked his head out from behind Wuyi, just in time to see He Sizhao's face.
A layer of dark clouds covered those extremely handsome eyebrows and eyes. Although there was not much change in expression, it made people feel murderous for no reason.
If there is a word that can describe it, it is black as the bottom of a pot.
Jiang Chuyi looked at him and suddenly laughed.
At this moment, there was silence inside and outside the tent. The girl's soft and gentle laughter sounded, like a string of wind chimes hanging on the ruins, filled with a dreamlike beauty that made people reluctant to touch it.
Hearing her laughter, He Shizhao and Wuyi were both stunned.
Wuyi opened his eyes and both of them looked at the girl behind them.
The girl sat on the ground, wearing a small combat uniform undershirt that still exposed most of the neckline and round, slender shoulders. Her black and white eyes were curved, and she smiled without restraint, yet with a childlike purity and innocence.
"Xiaoyi... smiled?" Wuyi said blankly, "This is the first time I've seen Xiaoyi smile."
They have seen all kinds of Jiang Chuyi: spoiled, willful, angry, and indifferent.
But I have never seen her smile so pure and innocently.
He Sizhao didn't say anything, but the murderous intent that filled the tent and wanted to devour anyone gradually spread in the air.
"Although I don't understand what you're saying, He Sizhao's expression is so funny." Jiang Chuyi played with a strand of her black hair and tilted her head to ask Wuyi, "What did you mean just now? What do you mean by attacking me? What's wrong with my physical condition? And what else?"
She glanced at He Sizhao casually: "He Sizhao likes me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became tense again.
Wuyi was about to speak when he immediately felt a sharp and cold gaze falling on him, full of warning.
He shuddered subconsciously and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
He Sizhao walked forward and half-knelt down so that his eyes were at eye level with Jiang Chuyi.
"Wu Yi has a misunderstanding about us. Don't worry, I'll explain it to him later. There's nothing wrong with your body. After the apocalypse, you'll live a life like any other ordinary girl. And, yes," he said in a mellow voice. "I like Xiao Yi."
Wuyi's eyes widened, and he desperately pinched his own neck to prevent himself from speaking at such an important moment.
He Sizhao observed Jiang Chuyi's face carefully, and saw that her expression did not change at all. She was still looking at him with her head tilted. He sighed in his heart with understanding.
"Su Heng, Wen Xi, Wu Yi, Su Mo, many people like Xiao Yi. We don't expect to get anything from you, we just like you because of who you are."
He Sizhao looked at Jiang Chuyi's dark eyes gently, and seeing the clear confusion emerging in them, he couldn't help but reach out his hand, and his slender fingertips gently brushed a strand of black hair in front of her eyes.
"Xiaoyi, do you have someone or something you like?"
"I like white dresses." Jiang Chuyi said without hesitation. She tilted her head to avoid He Sizhao's fingers. "Itchy."
He Sizhao's eyes flashed and he smiled, "Just like you like white dresses, just seeing you makes us feel happy. This is the meaning of love itself."
Jiang Chuyi looked at him intently, then turned his head away: "I don't understand."
He Sizhao's eyes showed a bit of helplessness: "Xiaoyi, just rest here for a while. I'll ask someone to help you change your sleeping bag."
Jiang Chuyi reached out and grabbed his collar: "How long are you going to be gone? It's so boring here."
"soon."
He Sizhao gently shook Jiang Chuyi's hand, then stood up and turned to face Wu Yi, his expression had returned to coldness.
Wuyi only felt two strong winds cutting across his cheeks, making him want to hold his head and cry.
He...he seemed to have done something terribly wrong.
"Get out here!" He Sizhao shouted.
Wuyi clasped his hands together and bowed to Jiang Chuyi, not knowing whether he was asking her to bless him. Then he walked out of the tent with He Sizhao with a fearless expression.
As soon as they came out, the other people surrounding the tent scattered like birds and beasts. Some pretended to cough, some pretended to look at the sky, and everyone was very busy.
One by one, those strange eyes kept drifting towards He Sizhao.
He Sizhao's expression remained unchanged: "It's a misunderstanding."
The others immediately lowered their heads.
He Sizhao glanced at Wuyi coldly, and Wuyi followed him with tears in her eyes.
In the tent, Jiang Chuyi sat on the ground with her legs hugged as usual, her big dark eyes unfocused.
She was thinking about what He Shizhao had just said.
Given how useful this mount was, she had become somewhat accustomed to listening to his words instead of simply ignoring them.
Like her as much as she liked white dresses? That sounded weird, she couldn't wear them, and it wouldn't make them look prettier.
And there are issues with her physical condition...
Jiang Chuyi's eyes darkened. She didn't think her energy could be detected by humans, but just in case, if she wanted to ensure she wasn't discovered, it would be better to use as little energy as possible.
She also wants to follow He Sizhao to see what impact he will have on the plot.
Before she knew it, she no longer had any intention of killing He Sizhao.
Thinking that she couldn't quite understand what these humans were saying, Jiang Chuyi rarely showed a hint of distress.
It seems that the world outside is indeed very complicated, and she has many things to deal with again.
Thinking of this, she felt a little thirsty and reached for the water bottle.
However, this poor mineral water bottle had been flattened by her in anger before, so naturally there was no water in it now.
Jiang Chuyi leaned forward on the ground, but couldn't pour anything out. Thinking that He Sizhao might come back at any time, he made an impatient sound, got up and left the tent.
"Wait." She grabbed a passing team member and stuffed the trash into his hand. "Go get me a new bottle of water."
The team member who was caught looked at the garbage that suddenly fell into his hands, was stunned for a moment, and then saw Jiang Chuyi's face, and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Chuyi keenly sensed this displeasure. Considering that this person was He Sizhao's subordinate, she condescended to ask, "What's the problem?"
"Miss Jiang, even if you're the boss's person, you don't have the authority to order us around like that." Seeing her actually bring this up, the team member's expression darkened. Thinking of her previous actions, his tone became somewhat sarcastic. "The boss gave you all the water. Don't you know if there's any left?"
Jiang Chuyi frowned: "He gave me all his water?"
"Yeah, didn't you use all that water for your shower?" The team member said with a look of displeasure, "Where else do you want me to get water from? I gave you the boss's water, but not the others."
He just feels resentful.
In the end times, everyone knows how precious clean water resources are. This girl is willful and ignorant. For some reason, He Sizhao lets her do what she wants, as if she has been drugged. He not only holds her in his arms but also lets her do whatever she wants.
They were talking in front of the tent, which had attracted the attention of others. Someone pulled the team member's arm and signaled him to talk less.
"What's going on? Look at what she did, and she won't let anyone talk about it?" The team member's voice became even louder. "Even if the boss was here, I can say he's no longer himself because of this woman."
"What did I do?" Jiang Chuyi asked doubtfully. She really didn't think that using mineral water to wash one's body was something that deserved the wrath of heaven and man.
"You!" The team member thought she was arguing with him, and his expression, which had been controlled, suddenly turned angry.
Jiang Chuyi was too impatient to argue with him. She waved her hand and said, "If you don't know where the water is, ask He Sizhao to find it. Stop nagging."
After hearing her words, the team members who were just watching around her also showed angry expressions.
Only a few senior team members knew about Jiang Chuyi's affairs, and it was not publicized.
Therefore, in the eyes of these team members, she was just showing off her power by relying on He Sizhao's favor.
They were all tough warriors, and they didn't want to deliberately embarrass a little girl, but Jiang Chuyi's tone and words were too infuriating, so they didn't move and just looked at her angrily.
"Miss Jiang, I don't want to embarrass you." Another team member suppressed his anger and tried to reason with Jiang Chuyi. "Water resources are so scarce right now. You know our captain has already given you all his water. Even though he just replenished some yesterday, he can't stop you from wasting it like this. If you care about him at all, don't do this."
Jiang Chuyi listened to his long speech and only grasped one key point: "Is water scarce now?"
Everyone looked puzzled, obviously thinking that she was deliberately making fun of them.
Seeing their reactions, Jiang Chuyi confirmed the authenticity of the news.
Not to mention her previous life, even since the end of this world, she had never experienced a water shortage crisis, so she never thought that water would be such a scarce thing.
How is this possible? We need water for everything from bathing to drinking and cooking.
Jiang Chuyi stopped talking and began to frantically type in the system in her mind.
"Hey, where's the water nearby?"
The system, GPS, and system diligently confirm the need: "Is river water okay?"
Jiang Chuyi looked up and asked, "Is the river water clean?"
The team members were originally still angry, but when they heard her ask this question out of the blue, they were so angry that they were at a loss whether to swallow it or not.
"Why are you asking this?" asked the team member who got the bottle first suspiciously.
"Just answer." Jiang Chuyi hated it most when people asked her questions in return. This world was full of people like that. "Can you use the river water? Can you drink it?"
"That's possible..." another team member said hesitantly, looking confused.
Jiang Chuyi ordered in his mind: "Tell me where it is."
Soon, a route map emerged in her mind.
At this moment, a slightly tense voice sounded outside: "What happened?"
Upon hearing this voice, the team members' faces changed, and they turned around and called out the identity of the person.
"Boss."
"team leader."
He Sizhao had just finished exchanging information with others when he remembered that Jiang Chuyi had not eaten yet. Since it was time to eat, he got rid of Wen Xi and went to help Jiang Chuyi make something to eat.
He was worried about Jiang Chuyi staying alone in the tent, so he was anxious to come back and check on her.
Unexpectedly, before he returned here, he saw a large group of people gathered in front of his tent. Seeing how they surrounded him, he immediately had a bad feeling.
When the crowd dispersed, he saw that the person surrounded in the center was indeed Jiang Chuyi.
The girl stood there alone, her figure so weak and pitiful to the other members of the Bit Team.
The author has something to say:
I tried so hard to prevent Xiaoyi from killing Zhaozhao (wipes sweat)
