Qin Nuan thought of the life-saving grace she owed Jiang Sinian.
Jiang Sinian realized that Qin Nuan not only saved his life, but her spatial abilities were also very useful.
This is why, although he always kept his distance from Qin Nuan to avoid giving her the wrong impression, he never treated her coldly or ruthlessly.
Seeing the grim expressions on the faces of the two people in the back row, and noticing that Jiang Sinian seemed about to say something, Qin Wan spoke first.
"Drive carefully, didn't you see those zombies lurking up ahead?"
At Qin Wan's prompting, Gu Shaoyan wisely shut up and focused on driving, successfully avoiding the zombies time and time again by turning the steering wheel.
Their eyes met...
Seeing the faint smile in Qin Wan's eyes, Jiang Sinian fell silent.
He knew that Qin Wan was protecting Gu Shaoyan.
In the end, Jiang Sinian did not speak.
Compared to Qin Nuan, Qin Wan is clearly more clear-headed and reliable.
In this apocalyptic world, cooperating with Qin Wan is far more reliable than cooperating with Qin Nuan.
Qin Nuan is too unreliable and unstable; she could explode at the slightest mistake.
This is why he didn't say anything when Qin Wan took all the supplies from the warehouse at the gas station.
Qin Nuan already has enough supplies in her space.
He couldn't put all his hopes and chips on Qin Nuan alone.
Moreover, Qin Wan has combat capabilities and the ability to protect herself in the apocalypse, so her chances of survival are far greater than Qin Nuan's.
"Si Nian?"
Is he telling the truth?
Just as Jiang Sinian was lost in thought, Qin Nuan's questioning voice suddenly rang out.
Jiang Sinian frowned and looked at her.
The moment their eyes met, Qin Nuan's eyes turned red, and her face was filled with disbelief.
Jiang Sinian: "..."
For a moment, Jiang Sinian truly couldn't understand, and couldn't figure out when he had given Qin Nuan the wrong impression.
He knew very well that Qin Nuan was now clearly acting like her "girlfriend".
But he clearly never said anything inappropriate to Qin Nuan, nor did he ever do anything inappropriate to her.
she……
Jiang Sinian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then pushed Qin Nuan, who was clinging to him and refusing to leave, away.
"Qin Nuan, I hope you can be more rational and clear-headed."
"boom!"
Jiang Sinian's words were like a bolt from the blue striking Qin Nuan.
Her eyes widened, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she stared at the man in front of her in disbelief, her eyes red-rimmed.
It wasn't like this before...
Si Nian had been so good to her before...
Previously, no matter what she said or did, Si Nian was very tolerant of her.
Why has it changed now?
Is it because of Qin Wan?
Thinking of this, Qin Nuan's sharp gaze turned towards Qin Wan in the passenger seat.
Qin Wan rested her chin on her hand, watching the show. Facing the "fierce" gaze directed at her, Qin Wan showed no anger whatsoever, and even gave her a faint smile.
"You guys continue, I won't join in or disturb you. I'll just quietly enjoy the show."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Wan seemed to think that the stimulation wasn't enough, and with a flick of her wrist, several red apples actually appeared in her palm.
She handed one to Gu Shaoyan, who was driving, one to Jiang Sinian in the back seat, and the other she held in her own hand, chewing on it intermittently.
Although Gu Shaoyan was focused on driving, eating an apple wouldn't be a problem, so he naturally accepted it.
Jiang Sinian, however, looked at the apple handed to him and then at Qin Nuan's "unspeakable" expression. After a brief moment of silence, he chose to accept the apple.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." Upon hearing this, Qin Wan smiled, the corners of her mouth curving upwards.
Qin Nuan: "!!!"
“Si Nian…” Qin Nuan subconsciously grabbed Jiang Si Nian’s hand, stopping him from putting the apple in his mouth.
Jiang Sinian frowned and looked at her.
"I..." Qin Nuan opened her mouth, wanting to explain.
Just as she was wondering how to start the conversation, Jiang Sinian handed her the apple he was holding.
"Want to eat?"
He still considered her feelings after all.
Whether it's for the sake of saving a life or for the sake of harmonious coexistence along the way.
"...I have some in my space." Qin Nuan was determined not to accept Qin Wan's charity, so her first reaction was to refuse.
But she also knew that Jiang Sinian wanted to share the apple with her because he meant well.
Thinking of this, Qin Nuan suddenly spoke up, "I remember you don't seem to like eating apples."
As she spoke, to the astonishment of the three people in the car, Qin Nuan mimicked Qin Wan and conjured two pears out of thin air, handing one of them to Jiang Sinian.
"Eat some pears, they're good for cooling down, and they're one of your favorites."
Jiang Sinian: "..."
At this moment, Jiang Sinian's feelings were extremely complicated.
He didn't know whether to say Qin Nuan lacked emotional intelligence, or brains, or both.
“Food is scarce in the apocalypse, so please save this pear for me. I’ll eat it tomorrow.” Jiang Sinian thought for a moment and decided to follow his truest feelings.
By politely declining this time, he subtly reminded Qin Nuan that he really had no ulterior motives or any so-called favoritism towards her.
After being rejected by Jiang Sinian, Qin Nuan's face froze, and her fingers tightened around Xue Li.
"Si Nian, could you... not refuse me?" Qin Nuan asked, her eyes red and her voice trembling.
Jiang Sinian: "..."
Qin Wan paused in her apple-eating motion, the corners of her mouth curving upwards, her eyes brimming with amusement at the spectacle.
Gu Shaoyan was even more outrageous, his face beaming with an undisguised, blatantly mocking smile.
"It's a shame that someone with your acting skills isn't pursuing a career in the entertainment industry," Gu Shaoyan suddenly said.
Qin Nuan's face turned deathly pale in an instant. Her eyes were red, and she stared intently at Gu Shaoyan's smiling face reflected in the rearview mirror.
"Gu Shaoyan, I advise you to mind your own business!!!"
When facing Jiang Sinian, Qin Nuan could still be humble and submissive.
Because of Jiang Sinian and Qin Wan's martial prowess, she had no choice but to endure Qin Wan's hatred, even though she hated her to death.
But Qin Nuan wasn't so good-natured with Gu Shaoyan.
He's just a piece of trash.
Without any special abilities, he was just a pretty boy who made a living off his looks before the apocalypse.
If Qin Wanfei hadn't taken him along, Jiang Sinian would never have agreed to let him join the team.
Making him a driver is already doing him a favor!
Thinking of this, Qin Nuan's expression grew increasingly hostile as she stared at Gu Shaoyan.
"I know I'm handsome, and it's normal for you to want to take a second look. But President Jiang is sitting right next to you. Have you considered how President Jiang feels with such blatant eye contact?"
Before Qin Wan could speak, Gu Shaoyan retorted on his own.
Qin Nuan was so angry that she froze and subconsciously turned to look at Jiang Sinian beside her.
"Si Nian, let me explain, things aren't as they seem..."
"Gu Shaoyan is talking nonsense. I don't think it's because of his looks at all..."
Qin Nuan looked at Jiang Sinian with a face full of anxiety and helplessness, and explained incoherently.
