Ma Mengjia's words did remind Pei Xiqing.
She and Duan Xiaolin are indeed not a real couple.
Although Ma Mengjia's tone made people feel uncomfortable when she said that, what she said was indeed the truth.
She took Xiaobai's hand and walked slowly back.
Ying came over and said, "We've made arrangements. We've put her in a dormitory and assigned people to keep watch over her. We've also found the man named 'Lin' she mentioned."
"What's going on?"
"It's pretty much what Miss Pei guessed. That man is currently entertaining guests at the restaurant, and he sent those people."
"Then don't worry about it." Pei Xiqing said, "I have done what I can do."
"yes."
Meeting Ma Mengjia was simply an accident.
However, this also reminded her that even if there was no enforced marriage like in modern times between herself and Duan Xiaolin, they should still have a sense of ritual that belonged only to them and that they both knew and recognized.
Pei Xiqing stayed at home for the next few days.
During this period, Tingying said that Ma Mengjia seemed to have looked for her several times, but no one paid attention to her, so she ran out of the dormitory and went back to the man's residence.
She didn't care and took a crystal core and carefully carved it.
The crystal cores on hand were too valuable, so she had been looking for the lowest-grade, unwanted crystal cores to experiment with. She tried more than ten times, but only succeeded once.
She is not very skilled and has never learned anything, so she can only rely on her intuition.
As long as you succeed once, there is always a second chance.
Time was running out. Outside, both zombies and parasites were making a great commotion, and it seemed that they had surrounded the shore. She then took out a high-level crystal core and calmed down to carve it.
Fortunately, she didn't make it too complicated.
He simply ground a crystal core the size of a fist and shaped like green agate into the shape of a heart.
It took two days and it was finally finished.
Duan Xiaolin probably saw it and just said, "Don't waste too much."
I didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Pei Xiqing finally managed to get the crystal core ready before the headquarters was completely surrounded by zombies and parasites.
After carefully packing it, I handed the box to him as if it were an ordinary item on a calm yet stormy evening.
Duan Xiaolin was busy arranging things for Fu Yan.
It seemed that he agreed to his current conditions.
So the documents in the man's hand gradually changed from the initial files to a thick stack of death reports and parasite research reports.
When she pushed open the door of the study and came in, she leaned against the door, thinking that Duan Xiaolin might not be sure about the parasite, but he could remain calm no matter what the situation was and handle it with the most professional means.
Even if the arrow is really on the string, he will not be helpless.
Duan Xiaolin signed a document and happened to have a report from the base next to him. He read it and asked, "Is it finally done?"
"It took five days, and it was finally completed."
This is no different from doing something petty in front of him.
She didn't care and felt no guilt at all for committing the crime against the law.
He smiled and opened the box she handed him.
He took out the heart-shaped crystal core from inside, held it in his palm, weighed it, and asked, "Why are you suddenly giving me something?"
"I want to confirm something with Brother Duan."
"you say."
"If you take this, you'll be mine." She blurted out suddenly.
Her hook-like eyes stared at the man, as if telling him that there was no way to escape.
Duan Xiaolin snorted and laughed: "Really? The effects are mutual. The same applies to you."
