Chapter 55



They were silent all the way. When Lin Tantan returned to the villa, he felt like he had been reborn. When he went in, he saw that everyone was in the living room.

"You're back!" Mei Bosheng was the first to greet her, and Lin Tantan responded, "Are you all waiting for me?"

Bai Cheng, who was browsing the number of transactions completed today on the computer, said: "Not really, we are discussing how to spend tomorrow." He looked at Ye Xiao, who came in after Lin Tan Tan, slowly closed his umbrella and placed it outside the door, then walked in and closed the door. Alas, looking at him like this, it is obvious that he is not happy at all.

"Tomorrow? How are we going to spend it?"

Jiang Xiaotian gnawed something and said, "I was wondering if you'd forgotten that tomorrow is New Year's Eve!"

Lin Tantan was stunned. Was it actually New Year's Eve? She really didn't know. "So, how are we going to celebrate?" She walked over to Xu Qin. "How's today?"

Xu Qin was lying on the sofa, his face and spirits were not very good. He had been ill for more than ten days and his vitality was seriously damaged. However, at this moment, he was holding a small spoon in his hand. The spoon slowly changed shape in his hand as he pinched it back and forth. Moreover, it was not deformed by force, but by supernatural powers.

His eyes were bright and he was obviously in a good mood.

He said to Lin Tantan, "My superpowers have gotten a little stronger today."

"Let me take a look." Lin Tantan sat down next to him.

Mei Bosheng continued, "Of course we have to have a big meal. Everyone should come back early tomorrow. It would be a shame not to have a New Year's Eve dinner together. Lao Bai, remember to find a chef."

Ye Xiao came to the living room and slowly rolled up his sleeves: "Would you like some fruit?"

"Eat!" Jiang Xiaotian, the foodie, responded first. Ye Xiao turned and went into the kitchen, and then the sound of the faucet being turned on and water flowing could be heard.

Their villa was originally only supplied with 100 liters of water a day, which was not enough for everything, so Bai Cheng bought some water. He didn't want to be so stingy with Jiang Zhongyi and the others, so he directly asked the water-based psychic to go to the water tank upstairs to add water, and then the water in the villa never ran out.

But they won’t waste it if they use it.

As soon as Ye Xiao left, Lin Tan Tan breathed a sigh of relief and helped Xu Qin sort out the supernatural powers that had not yet fully awakened in his body. His supernatural power was gold-based, but not an offensive gold-based power. Instead, it was an ability that could change metal into any form. When this ability became stronger, it could even change the essential structure of matter. It was extremely powerful and also very suitable for Xu Qin, whose main job was to improve weapons and develop supernatural weapons.

This is the same as in history, the only difference is that his supernatural powers awakened a full year earlier.

Because of his existence, he went in the rain without restraint, causing his supernatural powers to be washed out prematurely?

Then it was Cheng Qinan. Cheng Qinan's special ability also awakened. As expected, it was foresight. Lin Tan asked curiously, "What can you predict?"

Cheng Qinan looked at her and thought for a moment: "Maybe we won't be able to have the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Everyone: “…”

I didn't want to hear this, but when I asked him why he couldn't eat it, he couldn't explain it.

Cheng Qinan looked outside the gate and said, "I feel that this base is full of dangers, a danger that is about to erupt." His voice was a little hoarse and gloomy. It felt weird to say this on such a night.

Everyone was terrified by what he said.

Ye Xiao came out with a plate of apples: "Can you tell me what kind of danger it is and when it will break out?"

Cheng Qinan pursed his lips and shook his head. He only had a vague premonition but could not touch anything concrete. If that was the case, his special ability would be useless.

Ye Xiao asked everyone to take the apples, and comforted him: "It's normal to have weak abilities at the beginning."

The fruit plate was handed to Lin Tantan. Lin Tantan took a look and found that the width of each apple slice was exactly the same, just as measured, and the core had been removed. It seemed as if it was cut with something called an apple cutting tool, but the question was, did they have such a thing in the kitchen?

She thought about it and took a piece: "Thank you."

After everyone took a piece, he put the fruit plate on the coffee table and said, "You guys chat, I'll go upstairs first."

The others also dispersed one after another.

Lin Tan Tan was walking behind, and Mei Bosheng quietly pulled him aside: "What happened outside just now? I think the boss doesn't seem very happy."

Lin Tan Tan said with a stiff upper lip, "Really? I think he's a good guy. We didn't have any unpleasant things just now. He came back as soon as we met."

"You came back as soon as we met? But the boss said he was going to look for you before it got dark. We thought you were stuck for something."

"Huh? Really?"

Lin Tantan was feeling confused. She returned to her room and stayed there for a long time before scratching her head in frustration. No way, no way, no way!

But if it was just an ordinary relationship, why would he look at her like that?

Why did he look at Mei Baisheng, Xu Qin and the others with that kind of look?

Complex, yet... yet... a look that is vaguely affectionate.

Lin Tantan was shocked and thought that maybe he had seen it wrong.

But I still feel that something is wrong. Thinking of all the details before, that very bad premonition is becoming clearer and clearer - Ye Xiao, could it be that he has a good impression of me?

Lin Tantan fell on the bed, holding his head.

Although it was not my intention, but if this were the case, I would be unknowingly stealing someone else's love and becoming a mistress!

Well, maybe love hasn't been won yet, but it's already a very bad omen.

Lin Tan Tan rolled around and looked at the room. She felt that she couldn't go on like this. It was not really appropriate for everyone to live under the same roof. However, on the one hand, the conditions were limited, and on the other hand, she wanted to integrate into the team. She had lived like this in the beginning and had no intention of changing it. But now, she might as well move out.

She got up and tried to pack her things, but found that there seemed to be nothing to pack. She didn't need any bottles or jars of skin care products, and she didn't have any jewelry, wallet, or ID. In the end, there was only a little that could be stuffed into her bag.

What could truly be considered belongings were quilts and clothes. When he opened the wardrobe, he saw so many clothes, both thick and thin, hanging inside and outside the wardrobe, both earned by himself and given by Bai Cheng. Before he knew it, the entire wardrobe was full.

She wanted to take all of these with her, but they were too big.

She sighed, grabbed her pillow and held it in her arms. She couldn't bear to part with the fragrant and soft pillow.

She wandered around the room and then walked out. There was no one in the living room, but the small light was still on. There was a room on the first floor that contained a gasoline generator, but it had stopped and it was very quiet.

Lin Tan Tan walked downstairs and heard a squeaking sound. Just then, a fat mouse crawled in from the window, shook its fur, crawled into the nest, kicked away several smaller mice in a domineering manner, and lay down in the most comfortable place.

Lin Tantan squatted beside a cardboard box. Inside, a dozen or so mutant rats were either asleep or gnawing at the tattered clothes beneath their bellies. Lin Tantan usually didn't bother with them much; they went out to forage for food on their own. He'd agreed with them not to eat humans, living or dead, and not to eat the food of the poor, so he let them be. These guys would even climb the mountains connected to the base to catch small animals for themselves, so none of them went hungry.

"Look at you all, eating and sleeping, eating and sleeping, happy, right? Without any worries at all. Isn't this villa great? You don't want to leave, right?" Lin Tan Tan muttered in a low voice, "If I want to leave, should I take you with me? If I do, I'll have to get a bigger house."

Lin Tantan felt someone's gaze falling on him. He turned around suddenly and saw a person standing at the stairs.

“!!!” Lin Tantan almost had a heart attack and jumped up: “Why are you standing there silently?”

Ye Xiao slowly came down the stairs: "I heard you coming downstairs, and thought you might be hungry, so I came to see you."

Lin Tantan felt a little embarrassed.

Ye Xiao's cooking skills weren't very good, but at least he knew how to use those appliances. But she couldn't do that. It wasn't that she couldn't, but she was unfamiliar with them the first time she used them. She put an unpeeled egg in the microwave and it exploded. She spent a lot of time trying to figure out the timer on the rice cooker, and when it was time to eat, there was still a pot of uncooked rice. She opened the sterilizer when it was time to sterilize...

It's just... she doesn't understand very common sense things. There's nothing she can do. These things are too old-fashioned for her, and there are no instructions for her. In fact, she would definitely be able to use them if she tried a few more times, but everyone has already determined that she is an idiot in life and will never let her enter the kitchen alone.

Thinking of everyone's care for him, Lin Tantan felt a little lost.

Ye Xiao walked up to her and looked at the pillow in her arms and the bag on her shoulder. She looked a little listless, as if she had been caught doing something bad. His eyes darkened.

He asked, "What do you want to eat?" as if he didn't notice the equipment she was wearing.

"Uh, no, no, I'm not hungry." He said and wanted to slip upstairs.

"Let's talk." Ye Xiao called her, and after a moment of silence, he smiled helplessly: "You won't be angry with me, will you?"

"Um?"

Ye Xiao turned around and looked at her, and said in a somewhat depressed tone: "Every time you come back late, or every time you are going somewhere, you only tell Bai Cheng and never tell me. Is he closer and more reliable than me in your eyes?"

Lin Tantan was stunned.

Ye Xiao lowered his eyes, looking somewhat forlorn in the dim light. "I know Bai Cheng is more likable than me. It's always easy for him to make friends with anyone he wants. I've known you longer than he has, but now you only tell him everything. I'm not very happy about it."

He raised his eyes and looked at her with clear and straightforward eyes, all his emotions were visible at a glance, like a primary school student accusing, why do you only play with the person behind you, I am obviously your deskmate.

Lin Tan Tan...was surprised and also touched by the cuteness.

Is he acting like a spoiled brat? Damn, my health is plummeting.

Ye Xiao took a step forward, his expression sincere and slightly apologetic: "So I'm not restricting your actions. Go out, go anywhere. No matter how late you come back, don't just tell Bai Cheng, tell me too. That way I'll be at ease."

Ye Xiao finally smiled, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, his eyes full of expectation: "Okay?"

The blood tank was empty, and Lin Tantan's soul fell to the ground, his body nodding blankly: "Okay."

Ye Xiao seemed very satisfied with the assurance: "So, what do you want to eat? Noodles are okay? We have prepared bone broth packets, which taste good."

Lin Tan Tan continued to nod.

"Then sit down and wait for a while." Ye Xiao took her to the dining table and sat her down. He looked at the pillow she was still hugging, smiled slightly, and went into the kitchen to busy himself.

It took Lin Tan a while to react. So, his previous request, unless, was that unless he also reported his whereabouts to him?

The author has something to say: Midnight snack: I woke up in the middle of the night and my wife seemed to be running away from home. It’s time to show my real acting skills!

Bai Cheng: MMP, don’t make a fuss about me!

Talk: Good, cute
