Li Ke's hand was very steady, and the tip of the knife did not yield an inch. Xiao Yi felt a slight sting and a red dot on the tip of the knife. He stopped and then gently deflected the bayonet.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "You're being too formal. We're all neighbors. We'll get to know each other after discussing things a few more times."
Unless absolutely necessary, Li Ke never considered killing Xiao Yi. Firstly, she wasn't confident in her abilities, and secondly, although Xiao Yi wasn't outwardly prominent, she knew he was a pillar of stability that China had placed in N City, and he couldn't afford to be harmed at the moment.
Another reason why Li Ke could never bring herself to kill Xiao Yi was that in her previous life, if he hadn't pulled her back from Tanaka's clutches at the last moment, she might have been tortured to death by Tanaka early on, just like the other girls.
Later, although Xiao Yi always thought she was stupid and clumsy, he still taught her a lot of life-saving techniques. It can be said that without Xiao Yi's training during that period, Li Ke would not have survived for so long.
She had once been attracted to this man and almost fell for him, but in the end, he suddenly left without saying goodbye and abandoned her, which brought Li Ke back to her senses.
However, in her previous life, Li Ke did not know that Tian Zhongsheng was Japanese. She did not recognize the person who returned and told Xiao Yi that he had left with his teammates. At first, Li Ke wondered if there was some inside story, but later, when it was difficult to even survive, she gradually stopped caring about these things.
Not wanting to listen to Xiao Yi's nagging, Li Ke went to the kitchen and turned on the stove. She had just seen a box of instant noodles on Jian Ye's table and suddenly felt a bit hungry. Now she planned to make two packs of instant noodles to solve her dinner problem.
After placing the kettle on the stove, Li Ke turned around and saw Xiao Yi's tall figure blocking the kitchen doorway, which startled her.
Li Ke frowned slightly, her displeasure evident in her eyes. She said rudely, "What do you want? If not, please leave."
Xiao Yi seemed not to hear her and said to Li Ke earnestly and gently, "Don't take that woman's words to heart. You've finally gained the ability to protect yourself and fight back. It's not that they've become better, it's that you've become stronger. You did well, you're a good girl."
Li Ke's voice sounded somewhat human at first, but when Xiao Yi uttered the words "good girl," her heart skipped a beat!
"You're just trying to pick me up. I'm not interested in an old man like you. Please leave my house immediately," Li Ke said coldly, trying to shoo Xiao Yi away.
This jerk was always dissatisfied with her in his past life. He always talked about disciplining her and loved to whisper "good girl" in her ear when he was aroused.
Some distant memories flashed through Li Ke's mind, and in her lucid state, she felt both ashamed and angry.
Xiao Yi disagreed with Li Ke's words and said to her, "You are a loner, and so am I. You like to be alone, and so do I. People like us are a perfect match. Besides, although I am already thirty years old, I have good living habits, a clean reputation, and excellent physical health. I can live a little longer for you without any problem."
Li Ke sneered, "You're just lusting after her looks. I have absolutely no interest in you. If there's nothing else, please leave."
“You’re wrong. I’m not that shallow. If you don’t believe me, you can try.” Xiao Yi looked directly into Li Ke’s eyes and replied very seriously and profoundly.
Li Ke dodged his eyes and threw a vicious flying knife at him. This man loved to flirt with his eyes; he was a complete scoundrel.
Xiao Yi easily caught the knife hilt by turning to the side, a hint of doubt on his face: "Your technique seems to be something I taught you."
Li Ke sneered and ignored him. This guy was still very skilled. How come the change in air quality didn't seem to affect him at all? It was the same in his past life and it was the same in this life. Jealousy makes people twisted!
Xiao Yi gave a barely perceptible smile. Seeing Li Ke take out instant noodles from the cupboard, he said to her, "I haven't eaten either, so I'll just have dinner here. Could you please order ten packs of instant noodles for me?"
"Ten packs, that'll keep you from dying!" Li Ke cursed inwardly. Hearing Xiao Yi's impolite words, he took the whole box of instant noodles off the table and put it aside.
"Pour as much as you want, and leave immediately after you finish!"
"Why do you always seem so hostile towards me? Have I ever hurt you? Or have you fallen for me and are afraid of losing me?" Xiao Yi asked Li Ke with a playful yet seemingly serious tone.
Li Ke reacted as if she had heard a joke, her breath turning to ice as she coldly said to Xiao Yi, "Are all men this narcissistic? My hostility isn't directed at you, but at everyone who harbors ill intentions towards me! As a single woman, of course I don't want strange men in my room! If you continue to be so shameless and spout nonsense, please leave now!"
"Don't be angry, I was rude to you, I'm sorry. I really came to discuss something with you, how about joining the law enforcement team? A group of people of unknown origin have appeared on the outskirts of the city, some of whom are disaster victims, and some are very armed."
As far as I know, your stepfather and his sister's family are also there; I think you might be interested in them. And joining the law enforcement team means you'll get 150 work points every month, even if you do nothing.
"With the identity of a member of the law enforcement team, you can completely ignore many people you don't want to deal with, and you'll be the first to know about any new information in the shelter." Xiao Yi changed his attitude, apologized to Li Ke very seriously, and then followed up with his suggestion.
When Li Ke heard the latest news provided by Xiao Yi, she was slightly taken aback. She did not expect that Chen Ziyue and the others would arrive here so quickly. In her previous life, the Jin family went to other shelters and did not escape with Chen Niansheng and the others.
