Ruan Ning pursed her lips, frowned, looked flustered, and the resistance in her eyes was obvious.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yicheng reached out and touched her head. He smiled softly and said in a gentle voice, "There is no reason to take back a gift once it has been given. Since these crystal cores have been given to you, they are yours."

Ruan Ning was devastated when she heard that the male protagonist insisted on giving her the whole bag of crystal cores. She refused dryly, "Brother, I really don't need it."

Gu Yicheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes teasing: "Did I just say something that scared Ningning?"

"No." Ruan Ning shook his head aggrievedly.

Seeing this aggrieved look, Gu Yicheng felt inexplicably happier, and the anger in his heart dissipated. "Ning Ning said before that you can help your brother if you have super powers. Now that your super powers have been upgraded, it is the most important thing in your heart."

"But I still can't have it..." Ruan Ning said gloomily.

Her space ability was originally disguised as space, and although the two seem to have similar effects, hers cannot be upgraded. And even if she is a real space ability user, she cannot just accept the hero's crystal core without knowing why.

Gu Yicheng has never been a person who can bear losses. She thinks that she has never brought any value to the male protagonist these days. If she unknowingly accepts such a valuable gift this time, she will not know whether she will be so happy that she will fall from heaven to hell.

Gu Yicheng frowned: "Why?"

"Since this thing can enhance superpowers, then it should all be given to my brother." Ruan Ning made up an excuse.

so……

Boss, please take it back! I beg you!!

Ruan Ning felt for the first time that refusing gifts was such a difficult thing. She thought that the male protagonist with a lukewarm attitude was difficult enough to deal with, but she didn't expect that the male protagonist suddenly came back from killing a group of zombies outside and his personality became even worse.

Ruan Ning thought... maybe it was because the smell of blood stimulated him.

If the male protagonist just became moody, it would be fine. At most, she would just not provoke him. But why did the male protagonist pick on her every time he was in a bad mood?

Don't bully the weak like this!!

If this continues, even his own sister will go on strike and will not be able to continue working, not to mention that she and he are not biological siblings.

Gu Yicheng's lips curled up slightly, "I didn't expect Ningning to think about her brother so much."

Gu Yicheng's lightning ability has already risen to the second level and is about to enter the third level. At his level, the crystal core of an ordinary zombie that has just evolved can no longer play a big role in improving his ability.

However, when Gu Yicheng was killing zombies in the factory this morning, he thought of Ruan Ning, whose supernatural powers had just been activated, and he came up with the idea of ​​giving her the collected crystal cores.

The old man himself was so disgusting, but he never expected that the daughter he raised would be so pleasing to his eyes.

Gu Yicheng was reborn and had been bored for too long. Now suddenly a "sister" who looked pretty nice and interesting appeared in front of him.

It feels pretty good?

Although this person has a relationship with the old man, as long as she can always please him and not make him feel bored, he might really be willing to send her all the way to the imperial capital safely and make the old man happy for once.

Just when Ruan Ning was in agony and about to give up, someone finally came to rescue her.

The person who came was Xue Chen.

The material preparation has now entered the final stage. He came to call the two of them, of course mainly to call the male protagonist over to discuss their next route to the imperial capital. Ruan Ning is very self-aware, she is just an auditor.

"Okay, Captain Xue, no problem. My brother and I will go there now!" Before the male protagonist on the side could say anything, Ruan Ning quickly agreed, fearing that something unexpected would happen if he said it a second later.

Anyway, she couldn't stay in this place anymore, and she didn't want to be alone with the male protagonist in the same place anymore.

Gu Yicheng glanced at the girl indifferently, without exposing her little thoughts, but the curve of his lips became a little shallow.

Ruan Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the male lead getting up and preparing to leave, not forcing her to accept the bag of crystal cores. Captain Xue Chen was simply her little angel, saving her from danger.

If there were no gender difference, she really wanted to give him a big hug to express her gratitude to him.

****

When Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng walked into the living room, everyone else had already arrived.

Ruan Ning had just found an empty seat and sat down when Lin Yang came over with a smile and asked her about her space ability. Firstly, he was really curious about the little beauty's ability, and secondly, he had seen too many zombies this morning and he urgently needed the beauty of the little beauty to refresh his eyes.

Ruan Ning chatted with him in a random manner. When Lin Yang told a joke, she also laughed, with her almond-shaped eyes curved, looking particularly pleasing.

Gu Yicheng had been listening inattentively at first, his attention was on Ruan Ning, so he naturally noticed that the girl suddenly smiled so happily.

"Ningning, come and sit here with me." He said in a deep voice, his eyes turning cold.

Ruan Ning was happily chatting with Lin Yang when they were suddenly called out like that. They let out a cry and then looked in the direction of the male protagonist with a confused look on their faces.

Lin Yang was also very carefree, and hadn't realized anything was wrong yet. He smiled and said, "Brother Gu, it's fine for Sister Ruan Ning to sit here. You don't have to go over there."

When Ruan Ning heard Lin Yang say what she wanted to say, she couldn't help but want to praise Lin Yang. It turned out that the friendship they had just established during the chat was not in vain.

Gu Yicheng frowned, looked at the girl quietly with a calm gaze, and said in a low voice: "Ningning, why don't you come over?" This time his tone was much more dangerous.

Ruan Ning was still holding a grudge against Gu Yicheng for what happened just now, but when she saw Gu Yicheng's deep and profound eyes, she finally shuddered shamefully and obediently stood up and sat next to the male protagonist.

However, after sitting down, Ruan Ning's mental state was not very good. He hung his head and looked disgusted.

Nonsense!!

How can the poor little thing, who was frightened by someone with just a glance, be happy when it is next to the culprit? !

Ruan Ning could only pray in her heart that the male protagonist's abnormal mood would pass quickly. Otherwise, she might not be able to hold on until he became normal and would collapse.

OMG, the male lead is so scary qaq

"Ningning, are you angry? Brother didn't mean to scare you just now." Gu Yicheng's clear and magnetic voice approached.

The male protagonist should be talking about the time when they were alone together before, when he deliberately scared her by telling her how to dig the crystal core out of the zombie's head...

However, Ruan Ning didn't dare to be openly angry with the big man next to him, so he curled his lips and said, "No, I'm not angry."

Gu Yicheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why did Ningning sit so far away from me just now?"

"I, I... there just happened to be a vacant seat at that place."

Ruan Ning wanted to cry but had no tears. The male protagonist himself did not think about the fact that he had just treated her like that. Was she crazy to take the initiative to sit next to him? ?

It is also written that the male protagonist really doesn't like people getting close to him.

Ruan Ning hugged the male lead the first time they met because she was forced to do so. Her heart was beating in her throat at that time, fearing that the male lead would get angry and throw her out. She didn't want to go through this state of physical and mental torture again.

"Then sit here with me and listen carefully to Captain Xue's analysis." Gu Yicheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't be distracted by chatting."

Ruan Ning: “…” She is innocent. It was Lin Yang who approached her to chat first!

The male protagonist is indeed partial, and you can tell at a glance whether he is close or distant. She and Lin Yang were chatting together, and he didn't say anything to her, but just kept grabbing her little braid.
