Chapter 74: Is he... shy?
Seeing that Li Xingye's expression finally got rid of that faint sense of death, Chi Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.
She stopped joking and continued, "However, if my guess is correct, then why can the energy in the crystal core be used as a separate energy source...
"Oh, it's too complicated and beyond my intelligence. Maybe, as you said before, as long as we figure out the secret of the power exchange between the crystal core and the psychic, we can know the truth of the end of the world, right?"
Chi Wan stood up, stretched hard, and looked at Li Xingye with vigor: "But no matter what, there is no need to doubt yourself, Brother Xingye. No matter what the truth of the end of the world is, you should be thankful.
"Fortunately, it is you who possesses this ability and power, rather than those bad guys you dealt with. Perhaps, the fact that we can be connected through space is also an extension of your ability?
"But what I want to tell you is that I have always been very fortunate that the person connected to my space is you."
Chi Wan's voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder to Li Xingye's ears.
At this moment, it seemed that what was pumping out of his heart was not blood, but streams of hot magma, which instantly burned through his whole body and burned his brain.
He finally gave up resisting completely and allowed himself to be drowned in the warmth.
Li Xingye said softly: "I am indeed the one who should be most thankful."
The ups and downs of his emotions made Li Xingye's voice a little hoarse. Chi Wan didn't hear what he said clearly: "What?"
He shook his head, his expression finally returning to its usual calmness: "You're right, Wanwan, maybe there's something unusual going on, and that's the real breakthrough point. I'm just being too picky."
Chi Wan had no idea what his words meant to Li Xingye. He was happy at first, but soon became worried and said, "But Brother Xingye, the zombie just now said that you were targeted by people from the Imperial Capital... Are they the crazy researchers from the Imperial Capital that the people who attacked you before mentioned?"
Li Xingye calmed down his emotions, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chi Wan showed something more than usual. He really didn't expect that Chi Wan not only did not feel disgusted with him because of all this, but instead deduced a closed-loop logic through those few words.
Although it may not be completely correct due to information bias, it also provides some direction for Li Xingye's subsequent actions.
He smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I also considered this aspect when moving the base. Wanwan, Duan Qianyu and the others have made new achievements in the crystal core energy we talked about before, but they need a lot of equipment, so I may need to trouble you to find a way to exchange them."
Chi Wan waved his hand: "It's not a problem between us. But this matter is indeed a bit troublesome... I'm still waiting for a suitable opportunity to send the crystal core matter directly to the most suitable person."
Although Chi Wan is not sure how big the impact of crystal core energy will be, if we make an analogy, it is roughly the same as digging out oil from a mountain?
Chi Wan understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure, so he still had to be cautious.
Li Xingye naturally knew Chi Wan's concerns: "Your own safety is the most important thing. I'm not in a hurry for now. By the way, your family... are Song Yangming and the others bothering you again?"
Chi Wan was also a little surprised when she talked about this: "Come to think of it, when Brother Huai'an sent me the test results yesterday, he also told me that Song Yangming... seemed to have disappeared. But my grandparents didn't come to visit us either. I wonder what they are doing now."
In fact, she had a vague guess in her heart that Song Yangming’s disappearance might have something to do with the He family.
But Zhou Huaian told her that if the previous incident against Chi Wan's family was caused by the two younger generations of the He family, then the situation should have been much quieter during this period, but he did not say why.
In the past two days, Chi Wan also asked his parents, and those who had urged them to get back on their feet never came to them again after being rejected.
No matter what the reason was, Chi Wan was happy and relaxed.
Besides, school was about to start, so after this batch of fruits was processed, she would let Chi Yuanshan and his wife leave here and go out to relax. Anyway, the orchard is guarded by Li Xingye's vines, so there is no need to worry about anyone trying to do bad things secretly.
Hearing Chi Wan say this, Li Xingye also had an idea in his mind: "I will prepare to move the base here during this period, but you can always tell me if you need anything. The orchard at home should be harvested by now, right?"
Chi Wan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: People like Li Xingye probably have so many stubborn things to worry about because their moral standards are too high.
Even though he has a lot of troubles, he still keeps thinking about her.
Be it orchids or orchards, including helping her deal with those who came to cause trouble, these were clearly not within the scope of their "transactions", but he always helped her silently without waiting for her to speak.
Chi Wan looked at Li Xingye, who seemed a little uncomfortable when she stared at him for too long, and a thought flashed through her mind: Is he... shy?
Li Xingye looked at Chi Wan's burning eyes and always felt that she seemed a little different from before.
Subconsciously looking away, Li Xingye coughed softly with his ears burning, "By the way, Wanwan, was there anything you wanted to talk to me about?"
Chi Wan narrowed his eyes: Sure enough, every time I look at Li Xingye like this, he looks like this.
Although he looks steady, Li Xingye is only 20 years old. So is he simply shy because he has little contact with girls, or does he... like her too?
Chi Wan couldn't be sure whether this was an "illusion" because he liked Li Xingye and hoped that he liked him too, but if he remembered correctly, Li Xingye seemed to be quite repulsive to Xiahou Yu before.
She chuckled and had an idea in mind.
"Yes, because Grandpa Xu had agreed with me before that he would give me the piece of wood that might contain the ghost orchid to take care of.
“That’s why Grandpa Xu and Xiahou Yu specially sent the wood here today. Although Grandpa Xu said that he can accept it regardless of success or failure, if it can really be grown artificially, it will be a first.
"I don't want to ask you for help~"
However, Li Xingye's first reaction after hearing this was: "What does Zhang... Chang Lanhua'er's matter have to do with Xia Houyu? Didn't his grandfather come here by himself? Why did he follow him?"
Chi Wan thought: I said so much, but you only heard Xiahou Yu's name, right?
Something is really wrong!
Her eyes flashed, and she said innocently, "I don't know about this either. Maybe he thought the greenhouse you built for me was too exquisite? He kept praising the beautiful layout today~"
"Oh, by the way, he also brought me a gift, saying that he felt a little rude last time. But, it was obviously me who was rude..."
