Bai Qingqing, curled up in the box, half-closed her eyes, her delicate little face pale and weak, as if a suffering little animal was found by its owner, looking at him with tender and innocent eyes.
Fu Chen reached out his hand to touch her fair face, pushed aside the slightly curly bangs that covered her forehead, and said, "You've been hiding for so long, don't you miss your brother? Huh?"
The tone of his voice was intimate, as if he had found his sister who played hide-and-seek with him, doting and full of sympathy.
Bai Qingqing suppressed her pounding heart, turned her head and lay in the big box unwilling to move, saying, "I don't want to."
In fact, the two hadn't seen each other for a few days, but it seemed like there was a distance in time between them, and they were a little bit unfamiliar.
Seeing her angry look, Fu Chen leaned over and took her out of the box. He held the petite girl in his arms and sat her down on the bed. He pinched her chin with his fingers, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Are you still angry with your brother?"
Bai Qingqing lowered her eyelashes, pursed her lips, and did not answer.
Fu Chen saw that she looked well-behaved but had a dark and resistant look on her face. He felt a little unhappy and said, "Didn't you say you would listen to your brother?"
"I asked you to stay at Yaoyang Base for your safety. You followed Xiaoyang out without saying a word. Do you know that your brother would be very worried?"
Bai Qingqing raised her eyes and said coldly: "If my brother really worried about me, he wouldn't leave me alone."
Fu Chen pinched her chin and rubbed it slowly. The girl's skin was delicate and her pretty face had a faint blush due to anger, which was very attractive.
He couldn't help but lower his head and move closer, and whispered in a low voice with a hint of temptation: "Brother knows he was wrong, can you apologize to Qingqing?"
Bai Qingqing was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the arrogant Fu Chen would be so humble as to apologize to her.
So, she was speechless for a moment.
Fu Chen looked at her dazed look and couldn't help but hold her tighter. He asked in a deep voice, "Whose idea was this?"
"Hmm?" Bai Qingqing asked in confusion.
Fu Chen's eyes were filled with danger as he continued to ask, "You and Xiao Yang, who came up with the idea of hiding in the box and sneaking onto the car?"
"..." Bai Qingqing hesitated.
Fu Chen's eyes were sharp, and his aura was filled with a strong sense of oppression. He uttered one word from his thin lips: "Speak."
Bai Qingqing betrayed Xiao Yang heartlessly, and confessed the truth with her head pulled: "Xiao Yang put me in a box and took me in the car."
She grabbed the man's shirt with both hands and asked nervously, "Brother, you won't do anything to Xiao Yang, right?"
When Fu Chen heard that she was concerned about Xiao Yang, he pursed his lips unhappily, his dark eyes cold, and said, "It seems that I, your brother, am not as important as Xiao Yang in your heart."
"No way." Bai Qingqing immediately said in a flattering tone: "Brother, you are the most important."
After a pause, she stared at his handsome face and asked cautiously, "Brother, you won't abandon me again, right?"
The girl's eyes, as clear as a deer's, were filled with fear and terror. Her little hands tightly grasped his clothes, fearing that she would be abandoned again.
Fu Chen knew that he had hurt her, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He hugged her soft body tightly and promised: "No, never again."
No matter what happened, he would take her with him.
Bai Qingqing leaned in his arms, her long, curled black eyelashes drooping, and a faint smile on the corner of her lips.
"That's good." Her voice was sweet, as if she was deeply attached to him, and she said coquettishly: "If my brother abandons me again, I will run far away and never see you again."
Fu Chen tightened his arms and lowered his eyes to look at her, trying to decipher the expression on the girl's face.
Bai Qingqing raised her eyes and met his dark eyes. Her beautiful pupils were as clear as the mirror on a lake, as if she had never said anything cruel.
Fu Chen pinched her delicate little chin, his thin lips curled into a faint smile, his voice was filled with danger, "If you dare to run, brother will break your legs."
Bai Qingqing immediately felt a pain in her calf, and her body tensed up like a frightened animal, staring at him in disbelief.
Is this the evil boss who breaks your legs when you disagree with him? In the original book, Fu Chen is not so cruel.
Seeing her face turn pale with fear, Fu Chen softened his voice, "Don't be afraid, as long as you stay by my side, I won't hurt you."
hehe.
Bai Qingqing acted obediently: "Brother, I'm a good boy, please don't bully me."
Fu Chen looked at her charming appearance with his eyes gradually becoming deep. In this narrow environment, he really wanted to do something bad. His slender fingers lingered on her face ambiguously and slowly fell to her lips that were as red as petals.
Bai Qingqing sensed something was wrong and quickly pushed him away, trying to get out of his warm embrace.
Fu Chen stood up and grabbed her hand, saying, "Let's go downstairs for dinner."
Bai Qingqing followed him and said, "I wonder if they will be surprised to see me."
Fu Chen smiled faintly and said, "It's more like a shock."
Except for him, no one in the team knew where Bai Qingqing was hiding. It would be strange if they were not scared when they saw her suddenly appear out of nowhere.
The people who were preparing to have dinner in the living room heard footsteps coming downstairs and turned to look.
"Bang!" The cup in Bai Tiantian's hand broke into pieces. She looked at Bai Qingqing who appeared in front of her with Fu Chen in disbelief.
Shen Mingxuan's peach blossom eyes were filled with surprise. He clenched the chopsticks in his hand and stared at that place. Bai Qingqing did not stay in the Yaoyang base. She actually got on the bus. He felt an indescribable complexity in his heart. He didn't know whether it was happiness or other emotions.
Liang Zhiyu's eyes moved slightly and the corners of her lips curled up. It was interesting that she was actually secretly hidden in the car by Xiao Yang.
Bai Qingqing was wearing a casual outfit, her pretty face looked charming. She stuck close to Fu Chen, as if she was a sister who was very dependent on him.
Xiao Yang stared at Fu Chen holding Bai Qingqing's hand and gritted his teeth. In his heart, he angrily cursed Brother Fu for being shameless and doing whatever he wanted by relying on his brother's status. It was really infuriating.
Bai Qingqing greeted with a smile: "Hi, we meet again."
Liang Zhiyu got up and went to the kitchen to get her some bowls and chopsticks, "Sit down and eat."
Bai Qingqing sat down next to Fu Chen, holding her chopsticks and tilting her head slightly, "Aren't you curious about where I'm hiding?"
"Do you still need to guess?" Shen Mingxuan glanced at her and said, "It's in Xiao Yang's room."
Bai Tiantian questioned: "But the captain searched and found that Qingqing was not in Xiaoyang's room."
It was indeed because Fu Chen failed to find Bai Qingqing that everyone thought Bai Qingqing did not get on the bus, and that was why they were so surprised when they saw her.
Bai Qingqing announced the good news: "I can now enter and exit the space freely."
Everyone looked at her, as if they had heard some real news. Being able to enter and exit the space freely meant that one could also enter. In the end times, this was like having a miraculous life-saving power.
When she encounters danger, she hides in a space where no one can detect her presence.
Bai Tiantian showed envy in her eyes. Her current spatial ability was only at the third level, and it had no other functions except for storage.
Liang Zhiyu's eyes were dark. Her ability to hide in space didn't mean that no one could control her.
Xiao Yang said in surprise: "Congratulations, Qingqing, you have gained a life-saving skill."
"Thank you." Bai Qingqing smiled at him.
Xiao Yang thought for a moment and said, "Can other people enter your space?"
Bai Qingqing was about to answer when Fu Chen put a piece of meat in her bowl and said, "Just focus on eating."
"Oh." Bai Qingqing didn't realize that she was interrupted. She took a bite of meat, chewed it slowly and swallowed it, and replied to Xiao Yang: "No."
The only skill that is now open to the space is that the owner can enter and exit freely, and there is a time limit. I should work harder to upgrade it before I can let others in.
She thought to herself, mutated plants can be put in there, but she wondered if mutated animals or zombies can be put in there.
Everyone has different thoughts when eating a meal.
After dinner, everyone rested in the living room. It was still early to go to bed, so Shen Mingxuan and Xiao Yang went out for a walk. Bai Tiantian, holding a cup in her hand, often looked at Bai Qingqing, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
She thought she wouldn't see Bai Qingqing for a long time, but unexpectedly she came to the team again.
Bai Tiantian felt a little guilty and had some other strange emotions in her heart. She blamed it on the fact that everyone's attention was on Bai Qingqing again.
During this period, Xiao Yang always treated her coldly, Liang Zhiyu still had that gentle and distant attitude, Fu Chen was even more indifferent and didn't take her seriously at all, and even Shen Mingxuan, who used to take care of her gently, became inexplicably distant.
Bai Tiantian felt uncomfortable. She knew it was because she almost killed Bai Qingqing last time. This feeling of being excluded was so uncomfortable.
After dinner, Bai Qingqing took out her mobile phone to play games. Fu Chen sat next to her and watched her play. She noticed Bai Tiantian's gaze and deliberately ignored her.
Who can be nice to someone who almost killed them, unless that person is the Virgin Mary?
The world seems to revolve around Bai Tiantian. She causes one disaster after another, and there are always people who suffer for her.
The operation to transform the Virgin Mary was put on hold, and she still wanted to find a way to capture Xiao Yang or others as soon as possible to complete the main mission.
The system progress bar showed that Liang Zhiyu and Shen Mingxuan had also made some progress, but it was less than that of Xiao Yang and Cheng Rui. In order to stay alive, she had to work harder.
"What are you thinking about?" Fu Chen's voice came to my ears.
Bai Qingqing came to her senses and saw the little man in the mobile game jumping off the cliff and dying: "Oh, dead again, when can I break the record?"
"I'll help you." Fu Chen stretched out his hand.
Bai Qingqing held up her phone and refused: "No, I'll live by myself."
Seeing that she was both naive and playful, Fu Chen rubbed her head and said, "You won't be able to play for a hundred years."
Bai Qingqing: “…”
Just when she was about to retort, Bai Tiantian stood in front of them and said timidly and fearfully: "Qingqing, I want to talk to you."
