Chapter 51 Can I be friends with you?

"The dormitory code of conduct is written at the end of the contract. Take your time to read it. I have other things to do. Please do as you please." Jiang Ning handed the contract in his hand to her and turned to walk towards the back garden.

"Do you hate me?" Wei Shengyu looked down at the contract in his hand with a gleam in his eyes.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning paused and slowly turned back to look at her: "At least I can't say I like you now."

Frankly speaking, she had no feelings for Wei Shengyu.

Although her use of puppetry behind her back did disgust her, there was nothing else.

And the time they spent together was not long, so she couldn't say she liked Wei Shengyu very much at the moment, but she didn't hate him to the point of it either.

Wei Shengyu kept her head down, her hair covered her eyes, and she chuckled in self-mockery.

Sure enough, no one wanted to be friends with her.

Jiang Ning waited quietly for a while, and when Wei Shengyu didn't say anything, she continued to walk to the back garden.

Wei Shengyu stood at the door without moving.

Xia Shi helped her move the luggage several times.

When she came back, Xia Shi was holding several cute Q-version dolls in her hands: "Student Weisheng, there are so many dolls in your luggage!"

"Don't touch them!" Wei Shengyu came to his senses and shouted loudly.

Xia Shi was startled by the sound, and a doll fell to the ground.

Wei Shengyu hurried over, picked them up from the ground, patted them clean, then carefully took the dolls from his hands, and put them into the bedroom quietly.

Xia Shi was stunned for a while, he couldn't sit still, and wanted to move the remaining luggage.

Wei Shengyu walked out of the bedroom and saw Xia Shi holding her dolls in his hand again. She frowned and walked over quickly to stop him: "These are not allowed either!"

Xia Shi pursed his lips and was forced to retract his hands: "Okay, classmate Weisheng, I won't touch them."

"It's getting late, this is the girls' dormitory, how long are you going to stay here, classmate Xia Shi?" Wei Shengyu said coldly.

"Ah!? Yes, it's late." Xia Shi laughed awkwardly, "Then I'll go back first. The fruits and vegetables on the table are grown by me. You can eat them without worry."

"Goodbye, classmate Xia Shi." Wei Shengyu made a gesture of invitation.

"Good night." Xia Shi smiled shyly, "classmate Wei Sheng."

Wei Shengyu closed the door.

After seeing Xia Shi off, she returned to the bedroom on the first floor alone.

The villa returned to silence.

In the backyard.

Jiang Ning was busy until about ten o'clock in the evening, then she straightened her back and hammered lightly on her waist.

Since the last time the store was overwhelmed with orders, she hasn't used her supernatural powers so intensively for a long time, and her body felt tired for the first time in a long time.

Jiang Ning put away her tools and planned to go upstairs to wash up and go to bed.

There is another day of class tomorrow.

When she passed by the first floor, she saw that the light was on in Wei Shengyu's bedroom. There were shadows swaying in the room, and people were moving around quite frequently.

She took a quick look and went straight upstairs.

When she arrived at her own door and was about to open it, she habitually glanced at the room next door and saw that the light in Simon's room was still off.

Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows.

Simon didn't seem like the type of person who would stay out all night, and what kind of class meeting would take so long?

The roads around the Botanical Department were deserted, and Jiang Ning was worried that Simon would be scared to walk at night, so she called her.

The call was connected, and Simon's voice came out from Xing's head.

"Jiang Ning? What's the matter?" Simon asked.

Simon's voice was very noisy on the phone.

Jiang Ning said, "You haven't come back yet so late. I'm worried that something has happened to you, so I'm calling to ask."

"Thank you for your concern." Simon was very touched. She said, "But I probably won't be back tonight. I'm in the city for a class party."

"Okay, be safe." After making sure Simon was calm and that nothing was wrong, Jiang Ning hung up the phone.

Just as she was about to go back to her room, Wei Shengyu suddenly came out. She looked up and asked, "Will you worry about me if I don't come home at night?"

Jiang Ning was startled by her sudden voice. She turned her head to look at Wei Shengyu and said simply, "No."

Even though she had expected Jiang Ning to give this answer, Wei Shengyu's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Jiang Ning wondered why Wei Shengyu asked that.

She is a 3S and very powerful, is there any need for her to worry?

Wei Shengyu's mood is a little bit wrong tonight, but she doesn't have time to think too much.

Jiang Ning turned around and went back to the room, closing the door. She

was sweating all over, sticky and uncomfortable.

She just wanted to take a shower and go to bed.

...

At night, Jiang Ning was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from downstairs.

There was also the sound of someone talking.

She woke up from her sleep and carefully identified the source of the sound. It was said that the voice came from the first floor.

But Wei Shengyu was the only one living on the first floor. Who could she chat with late at night?

Jiang Ning sat up from the bed, put on her shoes, walked to the window, and looked down.

The light in Wei Shengyu's bedroom was off, but under the moonlight, there were several standing shadows in the room that were stretched out very long.

Jiang Ning swallowed.

Is there a ghost in the villa?

Xia Shi mentioned earlier that there was something unusual in the back mountain.

She had only moved in for a few days, and she ran into it?

Jiang Ning turned on the light in the room, opened the door, and walked downstairs.

At this time, the door of Wei Shengyu's room was open.

As soon as she went downstairs, she could see the whole picture of her house.

Wei Shengyu was lying on her side on the bed, her hands still moving, and she looked like she was not asleep yet.

Beside her bed were the group of dolls she brought with her.

At this moment, the dolls seemed to come alive, all surrounding Wei Shengyu.

Some were lying on her, shaking their furry little feet, some were standing by the window doing all kinds of funny movements, and some were even holding a book and telling stories from the book.

Wei Shengyu was amused by them and giggled.

The picture was very warm, but somehow, Jiang Ning saw a sense of loneliness in Wei Shengyu.

Jiang Ning's perception was very sharp, and Wei Shengyu's room was always filled with her perception.

Presumably, these dolls were controlled by her using puppetry, just so that they could accompany her.

Dolls have no vitality, cannot speak, and have no thoughts.

All actions were limited by the limits given to them by Wei Shengyu.

Seeing this, Wei Shengyu's abnormal behavior at night could be explained.

Wei Shengyu longed for company and attention.

Jiang Ning watched quietly for a while, and now she understood where the voices and shadows came from.

She moved gently and prepared to go back to her room to continue sleeping.

Suddenly a little teddy bear appeared downstairs.

When it saw Jiang Ning, it immediately covered its face with its hands, and the water cup in its hand fell to the ground.

"Bang--"

The glass fell to the ground and shattered.

The sound disturbed Wei Shengyu in the room.

Her puppetry was interrupted, and all the dolls lost their traction in an instant and fell to the ground.

"Who?" Wei Shengyu sat up from the bed.

Jiang Ning paused on her way upstairs, sighed, and leaned out: "It's me."

"Jiang Ning?!" Wei Shengyu was shocked.

"You, you saw everything?"

"Yeah." She nodded.

"......"

"Do you also think I'm a freak?" Wei Shengyu was embarrassed, she looked at Jiang Ning sarcastically.

Puppetry, just use it to control a group of dolls that can't talk, Jiang Ning will laugh at her.

Jiang Ning didn't answer directly, she asked: "Are these your friends?"

"What friends, just a group of broken dolls." Wei Shengyu turned his head, "I don't have any friends at all."

Jiang Ning went downstairs and picked up the little bear next to the water cup.

Fortunately, the spilled water did not gradually fall on the little bear.

She handed the bear to Wei Shengyu: "If you think like that, the bear will be sad."

At that time, she was very nervous when Xia Shi touched her doll.

Wei Shengyu refused to take it.

Jiang Ning had to put the bear next to the bed.

"You are 3S, you are beautiful, and there are people chasing you to be friends." Jiang Ning said, "Isn't Xia Shi an example?"

"Those people want to be friends with me, but they just think I'm awesome." Wei Shengyu said disdainfully.

She lacked the company of her parents since she was a child, and her personality was a little withdrawn. One day, she found that she suddenly awakened her supernatural powers, so she began to use puppetry to control those dolls and let them accompany her.

Later, when she went to school, she introduced her doll friends to others, but those people just thought she was abnormal and gradually stayed away from her. It was not

until she was tested to be at the 3S level that more and more people took the initiative to make friends with her.

But these are just people's admiration for the strong, not out of sincerity. If she was not a 3S, would others still pay attention to her like they do now?

Wei Shengyu only believes in her puppetry. Whoever she wants to make friends with must obey her orders.

Until Jiang Ning appeared.

She is an exception. Her puppetry cannot fully control a 3S+ superpower.

Jiang Ning looked at Wei Shengyu for a long time with a complicated look. She said seriously: "Everyone makes friends with some purpose to a certain extent, or feels that they have similar personalities, or perhaps they feel that friends are beneficial to themselves, or perhaps it is just a stage-by-stage mutual need. Do you want to make friends purely without any purpose? Almost none."

"Then do you and Simon need each other as well?" Wei Shengyu raised his eyes.

Jiang Ning nodded: "We are both from M412, and we are on a foreign planet. What we need from each other is a little friendship from fellow countrymen."

"What about me? Can we be friends too?" Wei Shengyu looked at her expectantly.

"Okay." Jiang Ning said, "but you can't use your puppetry on me anymore."

"I don't like the feeling of being imprisoned." Jiang Ning said frankly.

Wei Shengyu lowered her eyes: "I know."

Seeing her like this, Jiang Ning felt that she didn't really hear him.

However, it was completely impossible for Wei Shengyu to let down her guard all of a sudden.

"It's getting late, go to bed." Jiang Ning patted her stuffed bear.

"Good night, Wei Shengyu."

Wei Shengyu looked up and gave her a sincere smile.

"Good night, Jiang Ning."
