Chapter 15: Gaining Three Superpowers in One Day
"I can only... repay you with my body."
Mountain dye? ? ?
She swallowed hard, staring at the man in front of her in disbelief. "What did you say?"
Meng Xin also lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering her face, her face was deathly pale, and water dripped from her hair, making her look pitiful.
The red mole at the corner of her eye was also wet, which surprisingly added a touch of allure.
She felt that Meng Xin was a bit like a newly hatched chick, who opened its mouth wide and cried out for its mother as soon as it saw the first person in front of it.
Shan Ran glanced forward. Although she had seen his body before, seeing it now while she was awake made it even more obvious.
Meng Xinye's skin is very fair, not the cool, aloof white inherited from her family like Rhine's, but a pinkish white.
He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He has worked various part-time jobs for many years to make a living, which has given him a muscular physique.
Water droplets slid down his chest, past his firm abdominal muscles, down the veins, dripping into his V-line, and further down...
You can't see it any further down.
Shan Ran blinked, withdrew her gaze from below, turned her head, and coughed lightly.
Meng Xin also said softly, "I said, if I were to repay you with my body, only I can give you myself."
He was about to look up when a towel covered his head.
"Go take a shower and change your clothes first!"
Meng Xin also: ......
While everyone else went upstairs to shower and change, Shanran sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
She was racking her brains trying to figure out how to obtain Meng Xinye's special ability, but he just handed it to her like that. Isn't that too easy?
Can her body handle gaining two superpowers in one day?
No, they are three superpowers.
Meng Xin is also a dual-elemental ability user.
Moreover, his water-based abilities are extremely valuable in the apocalypse.
Because it will be very difficult to get pure drinking water later on.
In most teams, they would make simple filters to filter the water and then boil it before it was even drinkable.
However, if there are people with water-based abilities, they can remove impurities from the water and extract water that can be drunk directly.
This was one of the reasons that prompted Shan Ran to bring Meng Xin home as well.
She really wanted this superpower.
In particular, he also has two special abilities.
It's like one kiss from her is equivalent to two kisses.
Very cost-effective.
Moreover, it was Meng Xin who first proposed the idea of marrying him, and he was quite clingy to her after he lost his memory.
She wasn't some evil wolf who preyed on the little rabbit while he was suffering from amnesia. She provided him with food and shelter, and even gave him some information in advance to help him survive in the apocalypse.
Just as she was preparing herself mentally, Meng Xin came downstairs.
Shanran heard footsteps and turned around to look.
Meng Xin is two years younger than Shan Ran and just started university today. He is naturally clean-cut and handsome, and after washing up, he looks like a young college student.
He stood somewhat helplessly behind the sofa, pinching his palms together, looking anxiously at Shan Ran.
Like a puppy afraid of being abandoned at any moment.
Shan Ran patted the sofa next to her, gesturing for Meng Xiaogou to sit down.
After Meng Xin sat down, Shan Ran looked her over and realized that the size of the clothes she estimated was quite suitable.
Since he woke up, his hair color has been faintly tinged with dark blue, and the color will gradually lighten until it becomes light blue. At this time, his eyes also have a bluish tint.
Shan Ran looked at him and said seriously, "I agree to your offer of yourself in return."
Meng Xin stared blankly at Shan Ran, unable to react for a long time.
"You...you mean I can..."
“Yes,” Shan Ran reached out and tapped his shoulder, “but only the body, nothing else.”
Meng Xin was also puzzled, "What other?"
"There's nothing else, understand?"
Meng Xin frowned as well, "But if someone offers themselves to another, shouldn't the two of them be together?"
Shan Ran smiled. "I said, it's just about the body, nothing more. If you don't like it, then leave now, turn right, and I won't see you off."
With that, Shanran got up to leave.
But she failed to get up because Meng Xin also grabbed the hem of her clothes.
He lowered his eyes, his eyes were a little moist, he looked aggrieved and nervous, and the mole at the corner of his eye was red and shiny, like a tear with blood on it.
He grabbed Shan Ran's wrist with his other hand and said in a slightly tearful voice, "I understand. It's only your body that matters."
Shanran didn't want to give people unnecessary expectations, so she wanted to make everything clear beforehand. She asked again, "Are you sure there's no problem?"
Meng Xin nodded, let go, grabbed the hem of the clothes, and prepared to pull them up.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Shan Ran stopped the other person's actions.
Meng Xin blinked, looking at Shan Ran with a bewildered expression, her voice slightly shy, "Didn't you say...you wanted my body..."
What body? It's as if she's forcing some respectable young man.
Shan Ran pressed down on his clothes and leaned forward, "It's not that..."
I want this first.
After saying that, she pressed her lips to Meng Xinye's.
This time, Shanran had some experience and wasn't as clumsy as before. She accurately reached in and found the other person.
Meng Xinye's lips were soft, and having just taken a bath, they exuded the same bath scent as Shan Ran, giving the illusion that the two of them had been entangled for a long time.
The other person's breath was hot, yet refreshing.
Perhaps because Meng Xin is also a water element, Shan Ran, who was close to him, felt as if she were being soaked in clean water, feeling refreshed all over.
Just like last night, there was pure energy flowing through my body, but the water element reduced the heat and friction of the energy collisions. It wasn't as intense as last night. It felt like every pore was being washed by the azure water, and I felt refreshed.
By the time she realized what was happening, she was pinned down on the sofa.
Meng Xin, who was above, also closed his eyes and kissed her intently.
He held Shan Ran's waist with one hand and cupped her face with the other, his warm body pressed tightly against hers.
Sweat slid down his forehead, rolled over the red mole, and dripped into her collarbone.
The boy's palms were sweaty, and the clothes he was wearing were also damp with sweat.
My shower was for nothing.
His hand gently caressed Shan Ran's waist on one side. He tried his best to restrain himself, only caressing her without making any other movements.
Feeling that it was about time, Shanran nudged the person above, signaling him to get up.
Meng Xin opened his eyes, his face flushed and his lips red. He was breathing rapidly, his chest heaving, and he let out a soft gasp before straightening up and sitting back down.
Shan Ran suddenly felt a familiar dizziness, and she hurriedly called out, "If I faint, just put me on the bed and don't worry about anything!"
She finished speaking without using a single punctuation mark, then closed her eyes and fainted.
Meng Xin?
He was still immersed in the kiss and hadn't realized what had happened when he saw Shanran close her eyes and fall asleep.
Are you dizzy?
Meng Xin leaned closer, checked her forehead temperature, lifted her eyelids to look at her pupils, and then pressed her pulse to confirm that everything was normal. Moreover, Shan Ran knew about her own physical condition, so Meng Xin wasn't too worried.
He bent down and looked carefully at Shan Ran, who was fast asleep. He noticed her slightly swollen lips, pressed his finger against them, and pressed down hard.
"Shanran, Ranran, I want more than just this..."
——
"call...."
Shanran emerged from the bathtub, wiped the water off her face, and let out a long breath.
She had just held her breath for ten minutes straight. After practicing for so long, this was already her current limit.
When she woke up in the morning, she sensed her inner world and found two orbs of light next to the little horned eagle, one of which contained a drop of clear, azure water.
The other one features a fast-moving little figure, a chibi version of her.
This represents the agility-based superpower obtained from Meng Xinye.
Seeing such a vivid chibi version of herself for the first time, Shanran couldn't help but poke her several times with her mental power, almost making Q-Xiaoran angry.
After that, she tried to condense a water ball, but it was only the size of a fist, much smaller than the one Meng Xin had condensed the first time.
Because of the difference in size between her and Rhine, Yamazaki didn't notice much difference when the wings were smaller.
However, the size of the water sphere was very obvious, which made her realize that the first kiss only granted her superpowers, and she still needed to continue to work hard to improve them.
Even though it's the same kiss, the improvement effect of each subsequent kiss is very slow.
Besides, she can't possibly hug and kiss people all day long.
You still need to practice more.
Occasionally, a kiss can be added as a supplement.
After getting out of the bathtub, Shanran dried herself off, changed her clothes, and prepared to go downstairs.
As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a rich aroma of food.
She hadn't smelled such a wonderful fragrance in a long time.
At this moment, Meng Xin was also busy in the Chinese kitchen. On one stove, mushroom and chicken soup was simmering over a low flame, and on another stove, shredded pork with garlic sauce was being stir-fried. A plate of blanched bok choy and a plate of chive and egg pancakes were already laid out on the dining table.
A light mist hung in the kitchen, spreading gently through the living room and raising the temperature slightly across the entire first floor.
It was the smell of fireworks that Shan Ran hadn't seen in a long time.
Her eyes widened, she leaned closer to the table to take a deep breath, then looked at Meng Xinye and said with surprise, "You can cook? It smells so good!"
Meng Xin tossed the pan, and the fire on the stove suddenly flared up. He put the pan down, glanced back at Shan Ran, smiled, and looked a little shy.
"Although I don't remember anything from before, I know how to cook when I see the ingredients, so I must have cooked a lot before."
Shanran nodded and told him what she had found out, "When I found you, I went to the coffee shop where you worked part-time and asked the staff. They said you were an orphan and used to live alone."
Hearing this, Meng Xinye's expression didn't change, as if she didn't care about it at all. "Oh, really? Maybe it's because I've always lived alone that I have all these skills."
He turned off the stove, put the food on a plate, and brought out bowls and chopsticks after placing it on the table.
"Eat up and try it. I'm just worried that if I lose my memory, my cooking skills will decline."
Shan Ran didn't stand on ceremony at all, and started picking up food from her rice bowl.
"Mmm! Delicious!"
After tasting the first bite, Shanran squinted her eyes in bliss.
It's so delicious!
She found some kind of fairy godmother, no, a fairy godmother.
Meng Xin smiled with relief and ladled a bowl of chicken soup for Shan Ran, saying, "Eat slowly, I'll make more if you're not full."
"What would you like to eat tonight? Let me know in advance so I can prepare."
