Chapter 13: The Heartthrob Cannon Fodder in the Apocalyptic Literature 12
They acted quickly and found Qi Yan and others that night.
When they approached Qi Yan and his friends, they were having dinner. Upon hearing their intentions, a hint of amusement flashed across the eyes of the three boys.
"You mean, you plan to leave with us?" Lu Feng repeated with a bit of amusement, but he didn't stop picking up food for the girl.
"Yes, classmate Lu, I heard that you also want to go to the survivor base in City B. We have the same destination, so why not go together and take care of each other." Kong Yu looked straight at Lu Feng, not daring to look at the girl who made his heart waver.
"Take care? Sorry, I don't think we need any care." Lu Feng chuckled, with sarcasm in his words.
They were not kind-hearted people. They brought Tian Hao and others with them because they were persistent and followed them. They followed them because they were alumni and did not kill them.
Don't think that they can't see what the man in front of them is thinking. He stared at Qiao Qiao with wide eyes at the beginning, and now he talks about traveling together, it seems that he has no good intentions.
Kong Yu was not angered by Lu Feng's words. Before he came, he knew that it would not be easy to get them to agree to travel together.
His eyes then shifted to Qi Yan, who was silently peeling shrimp for the girl. Kong Yun, who was standing by, saw Qi Yan's attentiveness to the girl, but his eyes were filled with sadness.
"President Qi, what do you mean? We have three psychics in our team, and they're all quite powerful. If we all go to City B together, it will be safer."
"President, in the end times, if humans want to survive, they can only help each other. Every extra person we have means one more strength to resist danger and one more hope of survival." Kong Jun looked at Qi Yan and couldn't wait to speak.
"We are all compatriots. Since we all have the same destination, isn't it a good idea to travel together? We will find supplies on our own along the way and will not hold you back."
She looked at Qi Yan eagerly with expectation in her almond-shaped eyes, and her whole body showed a pitiful posture of silent pleading.
Qi Yan still didn't say anything, as if he didn't see the pleading look of his schoolmate in front of him, and continued to slowly process the shrimp shells for the girl.
The girl loved eating shrimp, but she hated peeling them because it was too much trouble. If no one peeled them, she wouldn't eat them. After he discovered this little habit of hers, he would always peel the shrimp first when they were on the table and place them on a clean plate so that she could enjoy them more easily.
Not until all the shrimps on the plate were peeled clean did he push the plate of shrimps in front of the girl, picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped his fingertips, then raised his eyes with a slight reaction.
"I'm sorry, as my companions said, we really don't need any help. Besides," Qi Yan paused and continued, "the living environment in the apocalypse is so harsh, and people's hearts are unpredictable. We really don't feel comfortable letting us go to City B with a group of complete strangers."
He was neither anxious nor impatient, and expressed his concerns in a few words.
Kong Yu was a little speechless. They understood the concerns Qi Yan mentioned. If he were in Qi Yan's position, he would also have concerns. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable in the last days, and it is easy to be calculated if you are not careful.
Kong Yun was a little anxious, but Qi Yanxin was as cold as a rock. No matter how she begged, things could not be changed after they were decided.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade them, Kong Jun felt a little unwilling. Glancing at the beautiful figure sitting at the table, enjoying dinner carefree, she felt even more unwilling. She thought for a moment and said, "Miss Nan, can you help me ask the seniors to go to City B together? It will be a good companion for us on the way."
Nan Qiao, who was earnestly eating the shrimps that Qi Yan had peeled for her, looked up in confusion when she heard the voice of "Miss Nan". Before she could say anything, the three men around her became angry instantly.
When the three boys at the table heard the woman in front of them turn the topic to Nan Qiao, their faces darkened at the same time.
"Ms. Kong, since you couldn't persuade us, you came to Qiao Qiao? Do you think Qiao Qiao is soft-hearted and easy to bully?" Yan Chuanhao's face was indifferent, and his words were particularly cold.
"Ms. Kong is such a smart person. Logically speaking, your team has three people with superpowers, and the safety on the way to City B is not low. You are so determined to go with us that I have to doubt your intentions." Lu Feng's face, which was originally smiling, completely gloomy. He stared into Kong Jun's eyes and sneered mercilessly.
Kong Jun felt choked up when she heard what they said. She felt a little aggrieved and lowered her eyes uneasily. She didn't have any bad intentions. She just wanted to take the opportunity to... She glanced at Qi Yan and her cheeks blushed. She did have selfish motives, but she just wanted to take this opportunity to get along well with the senior she admired.
Lu Feng and Yan Chuanhao, observing Kong Yun's demeanor, immediately understood. Tsk, it turned out that Qi Yan had provoked this unpleasant romance. Well, since he provoked it, let him handle it himself.
"Ayan, this junior schoolmate seems to be quite familiar with you. Why don't you decide whether we should cooperate and go to City B together." Lu Feng lowered his head and completely threw the question to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan's face darkened for a rare moment. He glanced anxiously at the girl's face, as if he was afraid that she had misunderstood something.
"Mr. Kong, I'm sorry. My answer to your request is no. We are having a meal and don't like being disturbed by outsiders. Please leave, Mr. Kong." Qi Yan didn't have time to play Tai Chi with them anymore and directly ordered them to leave.
"But, senior..." Kong Jun was frightened by Qi Yan's ruthless order to expel her. She wanted to say something to make amends, but was pulled away by her brother.
Now that the irrelevant people had left, they could finally eat their meal in peace.
Qi Yan lowered his eyes, watching the girl, seemingly unfazed as she continued to eat and drink, feeling a little amused. Curious, he asked, "Qiao Qiao, when that classmate Kong asked you for help just now, what were you thinking?" "Did you think we were too cold to refuse them?" Qi Yan pursed his lips, ultimately not asking the question deep in his heart.
In fact, if the girl wasn't present, they would have said something even more extreme and ruthless. The polite refusal just now was only because the girl was present and they didn't want her to witness their ruthlessness, so they made up a random excuse to get away with it.
"Hmm?" Nan Qiao raised her head, still chewing food, her eyes as dark as ink filled with confusion. "It's just a little strange. What's the point of her asking me?"
"Why didn't it work, Qiao Qiao?" Lu Feng asked curiously. The girl was soft-hearted and soft-hearted, and they thought Kong Jun's plea for help would soften her heart and she would plead for her.
"Because you are the powerful ones, not me. The ones they seek protection from are you, not me." Nan Qiao said with some self-awareness. She has no special abilities, is weak, and is only in a dependent position.
Only three boys, not her, are qualified to decide whether Kong Yu and his group stay or go. She is just a weak person who depends on the strong. Even if she enjoys the boys' meticulous care, she cannot be generous to others.
"So I'm a little confused as to why she asked me to plead for her." The girl's face was filled with genuine confusion.
After hearing the girl's answer, the boys' smiles froze on their faces. They never thought that the girl would position herself as a weak dependent.
The three boys were all excited. They put down their chopsticks and sat in the seat closest to the girl.
Qi Yan was the most eloquent of the three. He composed his words in his mind, then asked gently, "Qiao Qiao, do you really not know why Kong Jun chose to plead with you?"
Seeing the three boys with serious expressions, Nan Qiao also sat up straight. When she heard Qi Yan's question, she shook her head with some doubt.
"That's because, Kong Yun knows that if you plead for them, we will most likely agree to their request." Qi Yan patiently answered the girl's doubts.
The girl widened her eyes slightly when she heard the answer, her eyes full of disbelief: "How is it possible? How could they think I can sway your decision?" It was simply unbelievable, and the girl found it a little funny.
"How is it impossible? Qiao Qiao, why do you think it's impossible?" Lu Feng was an impatient person and couldn't help asking anxiously.
"Qiao Qiao, Kong Yun and the others are right. You can indeed interfere with our decision." Qi Yan said in a deep voice without hesitation.
"I don't know if our actions have made you misunderstand. You have never been a weak and dependent person around us." He continued hesitantly: "You are our supreme... treasure." The last two words were so low that they could not be heard.
"All of your opinions have the potential to influence our decision." Yan Chuanhao added, "Qiao Qiao, we don't want you to consider yourself a dependent. You are very important to us."
After all, with the girl's charm, she can easily find a stronger protector in the end times. The reason why they can stay with the girl is that they met the girl earlier than most people and protected the girl under their wings first.
Nan Qiao was obviously shocked by the successive confessions of love from several boys. Surprise was revealed in her watery eyes, and a blush quickly spread across her fair cheeks. Her delicate fingertips were twisting the corner of her clothes in a somewhat helpless manner, which was so pitiful and charming.
The three boys stared at the girl's delicate appearance with burning eyes, their cherishment clearly visible in their eyes.
She looked away in panic, stood up quickly, and wanted to leave this uneasy place immediately.
But this time, the boys did not allow her to escape. Lu Feng, who was closest to the girl, stretched out his hand, grasped the girl's snow-white wrist, and with a little force, the girl fell back to her position.
