"I, I, I, I'll eat it myself!" Lin Tantan said hurriedly after a moment of extreme embarrassment. Ye Xiao didn't let her reach out: "Open your mouth."
Lin Tantan was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. He looked at the food in front of him and didn't know whether to eat it or not.
Finally, she raised her head pitifully: "Ye Xiao, I was wrong."
Ye Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"I should have listened to you and returned to the villa to rest. Even if I hadn't come back, I shouldn't have been so arrogant." She blinked, looking at my big, sincere eyes! "But I promise, tomorrow, or within two days at the latest, my hand will be healed. Seriously!"
Ye Xiao looked at her for a moment and said, "You are not allowed to go out until your hand recovers."
"Ah? But..." But what should we do with so many patients?
Ye Xiao said, "Saving people is a good thing, but you have to do it within your ability. You're injured now, so you need to rest well. Besides, didn't you say that there are not many critically ill patients left?"
That's right. Lin Tantan thought about it and agreed. The main reason was that if she didn't agree, she would obviously not be able to pass this hurdle.
She looked eagerly again: "Then, can I eat it by myself?"
Ye Xiao reluctantly added chicken soup and shredded chicken, as well as mutton and some vegetables, to the rice bowl. He removed the chopsticks and replaced them with a spoon before placing it in front of her: "Eat."
Lin Tan Tan breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the spoon and started eating obediently, concentrating on eating, for fear that his hands would shake again and offend the big devil beside him.
She lowered her eyes and struggled with the food wholeheartedly, just like a kitten concentrating on eating. Ye Xiao's eyes softened and he couldn't help but reach out and touch her soft hair.
"Hmm?" Lin Tan Tan looked up at him with food in his mouth, his eyes questioning.
"nothing."
Lin Tan Tan felt quite pressured at first, but the food tonight was so delicious and she was really hungry, so she ate happily and forgot about Ye Xiao.
After finishing a bowl of rice, she sighed with contentment. Ye Xiao asked her if she wanted more, and she shook her head, "Then drink some more soup." Then she began to drink the chicken soup spoonful by spoonful.
This mutant chicken had a firmer texture than ordinary chicken, and the chicken soup made from it was very delicious. As she drank it, she asked Ye Xiao, "Have you eaten it?"
"I'll eat in a bit."
"Oh." She finished the soup in two or three gulps. "I'm full."
Ye Xiao stood up to clean up the dishes. Lin Tantan wanted to help but was rejected. She looked at him cautiously: "Are you still angry?"
Ye Xiao paused, looked at her and sighed, "I'm not angry."
Liar, you are obviously angry.
"But," as expected, there was a twist. Lin Tantan pricked up his ears. Ye Xiao said, "You have to promise me that you will take care of yourself. One of your hands is already injured, and now the other is injured too. You should pay more attention to it and not take your body lightly."
Lin Tantan blushed a little and scratched his head: "I didn't take it lightly. Oh, okay, I understand. I'll remember it."
Ye Xiao saw through her perfunctory attitude at a glance and said helplessly: "Don't just talk about it. If there is a next time, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself..." He looked at her shy face under the light and couldn't help but lower his voice and hold back the rest of the words.
Lin Tantan's eyes widened slightly, he was shocked and cautious: "Can't help but hit me?"
Ye Xiao: “…”
I can't help but embrace your mood, I can't help but solve and decide everything for you, I can't help but keep you by my side all the time.
Ye Xiao rubbed her head vigorously in frustration, making her hair a mess, then picked up the tray and left: "Go to sleep."
"Hey!" Lin Tantan opened his mouth and covered his head for a moment. What on earth did he mean? Never mind, just go to sleep.
She released a ball of faint flame to warm her mattress and quilt, making them cozy. She crawled in and sighed comfortably. After a while, she fell asleep.
After Ye Xiao went downstairs, the others had already finished their meal. They were very tactful and did not ask any more questions. Ye Xiao did not tell them anything either. He started eating and finished all the leftover dishes from Lin Tan Tan.
At night, someone came to the villa.
The people who came were Xu Tianjin and Jiang Zhongyi. Jiang Zhongyi accompanied Xu Tianjin. They were wandering back and forth outside and were discovered by the mutant plants. Then soon the mutant rats also discovered them. They treated them as suspicious elements and surrounded them, squeaking and scratching them.
Xu Tianjin was so frightened by a group of rats jumping up and down and pulling at his trouser legs that his face turned pale. Fortunately, someone in the villa heard the noise and came out to see what was happening. He hurriedly said, "I'm here to see Doctor Lin."
"Go down." Ye Xiao called the jubilant mutant plants and mutant rats down and said to Xu Tianjin, "Tan Tan is asleep. Tell me what you want to say."
This was Xu Tianjin's first time facing this legendary figure up close, and he felt a little nervous: "Ah, this..."
Ye Xiao frowned: "Is it urgent? If not, talk to her tomorrow."
"Not really. I don't know either." Xu Tianjin thought for a moment. "Actually, it was like this. After Doctor Lin was taken away that afternoon, Wen Zi came to see me. He was my best friend from when I was with Zhou Yan. He wanted to talk to me, so I followed him. But he didn't come to see me on his own; he brought Zhou Yan with him. Zhou Yan asked me a question, and then my consciousness blurred. When I came to my senses, he had already asked me a second question, but I don't remember whether I answered the first question at all. Judging from Zhou Yan's reaction, I should have answered it, but I don't remember at all."
Xu Tianjin spoke in a confused manner, but Ye Xiao understood: "Do you think he has some kind of hypnotic ability that can make people lose consciousness and answer his questions?"
"That's true, but history... ahem." Xu Tianjin said, "I mean, I don't think he has such special abilities. What he did in the past has nothing to do with hypnosis. I don't know what's wrong with him."
In history, Zhou Yan had superpowers, which were fire-related. They were not very strong, but he could barely rank among the top in the late apocalypse. Of course, it is also possible that he tampered with history and flattered himself. In any case, history has not recorded that he had any superpowers that could hypnotize or interrogate people. But if it was not a superpower, Xu Tianjin felt that his condition at the time was too strange.
He was very afraid that Zhou Yan would find another opportunity to ask him something. It would be terrible if he accidentally revealed the secret between him and Lin Tantan. So after thinking it over again and again, he couldn't wait even for one night and ran to find Lin Tantan to talk about this matter.
Ye Xiao asked: "Do you have a secret that absolutely cannot be known to others?"
Xu Tianjin scratched his head: "Hmm."
Ye Xiao: "Is this secret related to Tan Tan?"
Xu Tianjin was shocked and didn't dare to say anything.
Ye Xiao asked again: "What question did he ask you?"
"The first question was whether Doctor Lin had any earth-related abilities. I don't know what I answered. The second question was what was the relationship between Doctor Lin and me? I was already conscious by then, so I didn't answer and ran away."
Ye Xiao nodded: "I understand, I will handle this matter, I will take care of it, I will send you back." As he said that, he went back to change his clothes, and really sent Xu Tianjin back personally.
Xu Tianjin didn't dare to breathe heavily along the way, and Jiang Zhongyi didn't dare to act rashly in front of Ye Xiao. The two of them had a very hard time walking along the way. Fortunately, their residences were not far away. Ye Xiao sent them downstairs and stopped, with no intention of going upstairs.
The two of them were still feeling apprehensive as they walked down the hallway. Xu Tianjin said, "Captain Ye is quite imposing."
"That's right, when Sister Lin isn't around, I don't dare talk to him."
Xu Tianjin was curious: "Will he be different if Dr. Lin is present?"
"Of course. I can't really put my finger on what's different, but it's not that scary anyway."
Xu Tianjin seemed to be lost in thought.
…
On the other side, after Ye Xiao sent them there, he did not return to the villa, but went to another place in the night.
Zhou Li.
When Zhou Li first got into trouble, Li Qun wanted to make a fuss about him and acted extremely nervous and concerned about him. However, he failed to make a fuss about him, and when he learned that Lin Tantan was a three-series mutant, he became discouraged and no longer cared about Zhou Li. He just had him carried back to his residence.
Zhou Li only woke up at night.
Lin Tantan's last punch was too powerful, just like a hammer weighing dozens of kilograms hitting him on the head. If he wasn't a psychic with strong endurance, he might have been beaten to death.
But even though he was not stupid or dead, he was still dizzy after waking up. When he was asked about what happened after he fell unconscious, he learned that Lin Tantan had actually announced on her own initiative that she had earth-related abilities. He was speechless for a long time, and then smiled bitterly. He suddenly felt like a jumping clown, thinking that he had something on her, but he didn't know that the other party didn't take it seriously at all.
She wasn't afraid or worried at all.
He sighed, knowing he was totally wrong, and asked the person next to him, "Where's Zhou Yan?"
"He seems to be in a bad mood and has locked himself in his room."
Zhou Li's gaze deepened: "Has he come to see me?"
The man hesitated and said, "I've been here."
Just came to see him? Given his brother's attentiveness and concern for him, shouldn't he have been by his bedside the entire time? Zhou Li was at his most sensitive point at this moment, and couldn't help but wonder if Zhou Yan also thought his actions were ridiculous, or if his obedience was all just an act?
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by. No one took it seriously at first, including Zhou Li. But after a few seconds, he seemed to realize something, his face changed, and he was about to shout when he felt a chill in his throat, as if someone was holding a cold knife against his neck.
At this moment, the two confidants in his room knelt on the ground, as if they were suppressed by some terrifying force and could not move at all. They also covered their necks with their hands, as if their necks were strangled by ropes. Their eyes were filled with fear, their faces were flushed, and they were whimpering but could not utter a word.
Zhou Li was awed, his heart sinking to the bottom. He looked up at the door. The door lock clicked and was violently cut open. The door was pushed open and a man walked in.
Zhou Li looked at the person who walked in, his pupils trembled and he smiled bitterly: "It's you, only you can come so quietly." He couldn't even notice it a second earlier. He looked down at his neck, there was nothing, but he knew that there was an invisible blade condensed from air. As long as he dared to act rashly, his throat would be cut mercilessly.
Ye Xiao waved his hand gently, and the door behind him closed silently. He looked at Zhou Li, who was staring at a large purple lump on his forehead. His face was expressionless, and his voice was even colder than his face: "You are not as strong as you think you are. There are many people in this world who can take your life silently."
