As soon as Gu Shaoyan and Qin Wan approached, the old locust tree spat out a large pile of crystal cores and nudged Qin Wan's hand with its vines in a flattering gesture.
Gu Shaoyan: "!!!"
"Good girl." Qin Wan smiled and touched the vines of the old locust tree.
The next second, the old locust tree contentedly transformed back into a wooden bracelet and returned to Gu Shaoyan's wrist.
"Those crystal cores, were they for Qin Wan?" Gu Shaoyan couldn't help but ask.
A verdant vine sprouted from the wooden bracelet transformed from the old locust tree and nodded towards Gu Shaoyan.
"Between me and Qin Wan, who is your master?" Gu Shaoyan suddenly became extremely jealous.
Unexpectedly, the old locust tree controlled the vines and pointed them at Qin Wan without hesitation.
Gu Shaoyan: "..."
"Since Qin Wan is your master, why are you still bothering me?" With that, Gu Shaoyan reached for the wooden bracelet on his wrist and threw it on the ground with a look of disgust.
The old locust tree blankly transformed back into its massive form. It looked at Gu Shaoyan blankly, then at Qin Wan.
"Change back," Qin Wan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the old locust tree did not hesitate at all, and transformed back into a wooden bracelet, appearing on Gu Shaoyan's wrist.
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyan reached out to pull it away again, but Qin Wan suddenly stopped him.
Gu Shaoyan frowned, looking at Qin Wan with accusatory eyes.
Under his puzzled gaze, Qin Wan gently tapped the wooden bracelet with her fingertips, reminding him, "Make it look better."
Upon hearing this, the old locust tree paused, sprouted a vine, and tilted its lone leaf at the top, seemingly looking at Qin Wan with puzzlement.
"You turn green first."
Although the old locust tree didn't understand, it obediently did as instructed.
The wooden bracelet turned a vibrant, luscious emerald green, a far cry from its previous dull, dark brown.
"Make it a little thinner."
As soon as Qin Wan finished speaking, Gu Shaoyan seemed to have discovered something, and with surprise in his eyes, he began to trample on the old locust tree.
"Green doesn't seem to look very nice..."
"Why don't you try turning silver again?"
"My special ability is fire-based. Why don't you try turning red again?"
"It still feels a bit abrupt..."
Seeing Gu Shaoyan's excited expression as he tirelessly tinkered with the old locust tree, a faint hint of doting smile flashed in Qin Wan's eyes.
"You knew all along that the old locust tree could change color?" Seeing Qin Wan turn and leave, Gu Shaoyan quickly chased after her.
Qin Wan shook her head, "It didn't work before, but its ability just advanced."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoyan's smile deepened.
The old locust tree had just leveled up and developed a new skill, and Qin Wan immediately thought of it...
Knowing that he was particular about appearances and disliked the ugly appearance of the old locust tree after it was turned into a wooden bracelet, she immediately had the old locust tree change its shape.
[Gu Shaoyan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 77.]
She still cared about him after all.
It seems that he is truly important to her.
He's far more important than Jiang Sinian!
Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyan glanced smugly at Jiang Sinian beside him.
Jiang Sinian: "..."
Along the way, Gu Shaoyan changed the old locust tree to different colors and shapes each day according to his outfit.
Gradually, he stopped disliking the old locust tree and even began to accept it.
Finally, he extended his affection to the old tree, and in his mind, he regarded the old locust tree as a "betrothal gift" given to him by Qin Wan.
This is one of a kind!
Even Jiang Sinian didn't receive such treatment!
Qin Wan gained a cat and a tree. She gave the old locust tree to him and kept the kitten for herself. Jiang Sinian didn't get any benefit at all.
Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyan felt even better.
[Gu Shaoyan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 79.]
In order to make Jiang Sinian realize his own position, and also to let Jiang Sinian know that Qin Wan treats him differently.
Over the next few days, Gu Shaoyan would show Jiang Sinian the old locust tree's "new look" every day, gently asking Jiang Sinian if it looked good...
At first, Jiang Sinian didn't understand his purpose, and would cooperate by glancing at him indifferently, giving a soft "hmm", and occasionally replying with "not bad".
Later, as Gu Shaoyan asked more and more questions, Jiang Sinian began to get impatient.
At these times, Gu Shaoyan would in a particularly annoying way take out a bunch of crystal cores and push them in front of Jiang Sinian, then look at Jiang Sinian with expectant eyes.
“…I don’t lack crystal cores.” Jiang Sinian’s lips twitched involuntarily.
At these times, Gu Shaoyan would look at Qin Wan with accusatory eyes, his gaze filled with grievance.
"It looks great."
"It matches your outfit perfectly today."
"You have excellent taste."
Whether Jiang Sinian praised him or not is not important; what is important is that Qin Wan praised him, and Qin Wan is clearly biased towards him.
Therefore, after receiving Qin Wan's response and praise, Gu Shaoyan's lips couldn't help but curve upwards, upwards, and upwards again.
[Gu Shaoyan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 81.]
"Since President Jiang doesn't want them, then I'll trouble you, Wanwan, to keep these crystal cores for me for now." With that, Gu Shaoyan pushed the crystal cores in front of Qin Wanwan.
Qin Wan smiled and put him into her spatial storage, indulging him to the extreme.
She knew perfectly well that the old locust tree could temporarily store these crystal cores and provide them whenever he needed them.
But Qin Wan showed no displeasure whatsoever in the face of his unreasonable demands.
Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyan felt a sweet warmth in his heart and was extremely happy.
[Gu Shaoyan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 83.]
"It looks like there's a car following us," Jiang Sinian's sudden warning broke the ambiguous atmosphere inside the car.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoyan and Qin Wan turned to look at the same time.
After squinting at the car for a few seconds, Qin Wan suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"acquaintance."
"What?" Gu Shaoyan was taken aback and looked at her in confusion.
Jiang Sinian, on the other hand, seemed to have realized something, his expression changed slightly, and he looked rather unpleasant.
acquaintance?
The two cars stopped at a hot spring resort in the suburbs for a temporary rest. When Gu Shaoyan saw Qin Nuan getting out of the back car, he frowned and his eyes were full of impatience.
"Qin Nuan?"
"Why is she so persistent?"
"She doesn't have any superpowers, so how dare she come out of the base?"
At this moment, Qin Wan got out of the car, "because she had found a new backer."
As soon as Qin Wan finished speaking, several more men got out of the car.
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyan frowned even more deeply. "These people seem to be superhumans."
“Be more confident, and remove the ‘seems’,” Qin Wan said.
"Qin Nuan doesn't have any special abilities, so why are these people taking her along?"
“If you’re so interested, you can go and ask.” Qin Wan raised an eyebrow.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoyan assumed she was jealous and unhappy, and quickly explained, "I'm not interested in her. I'm just annoyed by her haunting me."
Seeing Gu Shaoyan's nervous and anxious expression as he tried to explain, Qin Wan couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, I know."
After speaking, Qin Wan handed Gu Shaoyan a gift box.
"What is this?" Gu Shaoyan asked, taking the item with a puzzled look.
"Open it and take a look..."
Gu Shaoyan looked at her with some doubt, but did as she said.
[Gu Shaoyan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 85.]
