Li Xiao was still very happy; she hadn't found many seasonings. Every little bit counts, so how could she not be happy to have found some?
She happily put it away, but just as he was happily putting it away, he seemed to sense something and turned to look in the direction he came from.
(⊙_☉)
!
It’s over!
It's not Cheng Shaolin!
Li Xiao stared blankly, while Xiao Peng, whom she was staring at, also stared intently at her.
The two stared at each other, Li Xiao's hand still on the shelf, her head turned away.
Xiao Peng didn't say anything, turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened, and walked out of the supermarket again.
Li Xiao also withdrew her gaze, slowly turned around, and continued to put away the soap and shampoo on the shelf.
She only used the map when she came out, and hasn't opened it since.
She had always assumed that Cheng Shaolin was following not far behind her, but to her surprise, Cheng Shaolin didn't come in, but Xiao Peng did.
She didn't know what Xiao Peng would do, and she couldn't control him right now. She should just finish what she was doing first. She'd deal with the rest later.
After collecting what was at hand, Li Xiao looked around again. There was nothing useful left; all that was left was trash.
She looked around and realized there really wasn't anything to eat; food was the fastest thing to be chosen.
She stopped looking and walked out of the supermarket, where she saw Xiao Peng and Yu Yanbin standing in front of the shop across the street. Xiao Peng was talking to Yu Yanbin, his head down in thought.
It seemed that she knew Li Xiao had come out; she looked up at her briefly and then went to talk to Yu Yanbin.
Li Xiao looked around and saw that Cheng Shaolin was ahead. There was a pile of zombies lying on the ground, all of which were emitting thick black smoke.
Without those messy zombies on the ground, it definitely looks much better.
When Cheng Shaolin saw Li Xiao come out, he waved for her to come over.
Li Xiao ran over to Cheng Shaolin. It turned out that the area was full of shops. Cheng Shaolin had cleared out all the zombies outside and then let Li Xiao go in to take a look.
Li Xiao didn't know if Cheng Shaolin knew that her space had been exposed, so she didn't say anything at this time and went along with him into the tea shop next to her.
Soon, Li Xiao visited all the shops in the area; it was good that there were no zombies.
Li Xiao acted quickly, and the other companies across the street finished quickly as well.
Yu Yanbin had already gone back, driving his car with some potatoes and rice that hadn't been taken away during the search.
Li Xiao saw that Xiao Peng hadn't left yet and was helping Cheng Shaolin pile the zombies together.
Xiao Peng also noticed that Li Xiao was staring at him without saying a word. When he looked at Li Xiao, she turned and left.
After this happened several times, Xiao Peng couldn't hold back any longer. He walked over to Cheng Shaolin, looking hesitant to speak.
Cheng Shaolin looked at him as if he had something to say to him, but didn't know how to say it.
"What's wrong? What do you want to say?" Cheng Shaolin finally spoke.
Xiao Peng frowned and said in a low voice, "Could you please ask Li Xiao to stop looking at me like that? I really didn't say anything, really, but her gaze is making me feel uneasy." He then looked annoyed.
Cheng Shaolin also found it amusing; what could be making him so nervous that he couldn't tell anyone?
"What's wrong?"
“Exactly,” Xiao Peng scratched his head, looking somewhat annoyed, and continued, “I didn’t say anything, really.”
"What did you say?" Cheng Shaolin asked curiously; Xiao Peng had never been this nervous before.
"You...you didn't know?" Xiao Pengzhen's eyes widened in shock. It was all over...
"What do I know? You're just making things up, what can't you say?"
"Well, you just said Li Xiao was in the supermarket, so I was thinking of going to see if I needed any help." She said, looking at Cheng Shaolin.
Cheng Shaolin immediately understood. What could make Xiao Peng so uneasy? It must be something serious. And what could possibly be serious about Li Xiao? Even a fool could tell.
"Hmm, and then?" Cheng Shaolin raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.
Xiao Peng continued, "Then, before I even got close, I saw Li Xiao's hand on the shelf, and the items on it were gone. She just stared at me like that. So, I came out." As his voice rose, "Really, I didn't tell anyone."
Cheng Shaolin immediately understood that he must have seen this. "But you told me."
"I'm telling you, you already know, right? Can you please stop looking at me like that? I really haven't told anyone else."
"What do I know?" Cheng Shaolin found Xiao Peng's expression quite amusing. Tall and imposing, he now looked utterly frustrated, his anxiety written all over his face.
I didn't expect him to be able to hold back and not say anything when he saw Li Xiao using her spatial storage to collect things. He seems to have a tight tongue.
Xiao Peng's eyes widened like a bull's. "Ah, you, you can't? It's over..."
Seeing Xiao Peng's "I'm so stupid" expression, Cheng Shaolin found it amusing. Despite Xiao Peng's tall, muscular build and seemingly simple-minded demeanor, he was actually quite perceptive.
"I thought you knew, but you didn't. I... I didn't expect to tell anyone, really."
Seeing him so remorseful he wanted to pull his hair out, Cheng Shaolin stopped him, looked into his eyes and said, "It's okay. I didn't know about what happened earlier. But I do know about what you said."
Xiao Peng stared intently at Cheng Shaolin's face, only to see Cheng Shaolin smile and say, "There are still some unstable factors within the team, which is why we haven't let anyone know."
Xiao Peng understood immediately after hearing what Cheng Shaolin said.
