Chapter 343: The Favorite of the End Times (23)
It is said that people should keep their distance from others.
If this person simply had malicious intentions and didn't do anything to her, Qiao Xi would just turn a blind eye. After all, he was just following orders.
but……
Now the man had the dagger pressed to her neck.
This directly threatens her personal safety. Under normal circumstances, she could go through the legal process and be handed over to the law, but now is the end of the world. In such a special situation, only strength can prevail.
Since the other party is so rude.
Then she had no choice but to fight back in her own way.
"Why? ...Don't I even have the right to live? Or did Brother Xuanye ask you to kill me?"
Qiao Xi lowered her eyelids, her beautiful eyes dim and distraught.
She bit her lips lightly, her pretty cheeks pale and shocked, obviously she had not expected that someone so close to her would do such a thing.
"The base commander asked me to protect you."
Guan Zhiyuan glanced at her, and the disgust in his pupils was not concealed.
The dagger at Qiao Xi's neck moved closer again, the sharp blade close to the girl's delicate white skin. Soon, a bloody mark was drawn, and the bloody red blood began to seep out.
"Then why are you..."
"I hate you."
The girl's lips trembled as she stammered, and before she could even finish her words, she was interrupted impatiently by the young man.
"There is no reason. You must disappear. Remember, the person who killed you is Guan Zhiyuan."
His patience seemed to be running out.
The slight struggle in his eyes finally became firm in an instant. Working under Gu Xuanye, his own hands were stained with blood and were not necessarily clean.
This woman's presence would threaten the base commander.
So it must be eradicated.
The special nature of his ability allows him to make Qiao Xi disappear completely without anyone noticing.
It won't leave any trace.
A fierce look flashed across Guan Zhiyuan's brows, and the strength in his arms suddenly increased, ready to cut the girl's neck cleanly and decisively. But just as he was about to do so, a huge force suddenly pulled him back.
Guan Zhiyuan was shocked.
He reacted quickly, but Qiao Xi was faster than him.
In the brief moment of shock, the man was pulled away, and the dagger he held was exposed. Qiao Xi grabbed his wrist and twisted it, quickly snatching the dagger from Guan Zhiyuan's hand.
The two people swapped positions.
Originally, the young man had pushed her against the wall with a dagger, but now Qiao Xi was grabbing Guan Zhiyuan's wrist and pressing him against the wall.
Very close.
Qiao Xi was a petite woman, so the scene of her holding the young man back was a bit awkward. Guan Zhiyuan frowned and tried to break free from her grasp, but he discovered that Qiao Xi was incredibly strong.
Those slender, white little hands.
He just held his wrist tightly and refused to budge no matter how hard he struggled.
Vines appeared from nowhere.
She slowly moved over from behind and instinctively took over Qiao Xi's job, lifting Guan Zhiyuan's hands and tying them up.
"You... have special abilities?"
Guan Zhiyuan's voice was still a little surprised. He was very sensitive to superpowers, but he didn't even know when Qiao Xi used them.
I just pulled him from behind.
Is this the vine?
Qiao Xi didn't answer him, but bent down to pick up the dagger on the ground. The young man used his invisibility ability on her through contact. As long as there was no contact, Qiao Xi and he were both invisible.
"Guan Zhiyuan, is that right?"
The girl examined the dagger in her hand. When she looked up at him again, her bright red lips curved slightly. Her crescent eyes curved slightly, and she smiled.
He changed his previous fearful look.
"I originally thought that since you were Brother Xuanye's man, I could just do my job and ignore you. But why did you have to be so blind and pick a fight with me?"
Qiao Xi seemed to be distressed.
He stroked his chin with his fair hands and sighed. The childish innocence in his clear and bright eyes was now filled with deep doubts and confusion.
It's not easy to make a living.
Qiao Xi could also understand that it was a job for him to monitor her after receiving orders.
Just don't do anything unnecessary.
She turned a blind eye to this little follower, but now this guy is restless.
Qiao Xi touched her neck.
Her delicate fingers were soon stained with blood. She closed her beautiful eyes slightly, looked at the blood on her fingertips, and then raised her eyes to look at the young man in front of her.
"You want to kill me?"
Qiao Xi asked this as if she was casually chatting about a topic. She clamped Guan Zhiyuan's chin to prevent the young man from turning his head away from her, while Qiao Xi was stared at by the man with strong hatred.
She smeared the blood from her fingertips on his lips.
The soft fingertips touched the warm lips, and every touch made Guan Zhiyuan feel more disgusted with Qiao Xi.
He did nothing wrong.
This annoying woman only causes trouble for the base commander.
There was still a little blood of Qiao Xi on the dagger. She took it in her hand and turned it lightly half a circle, then put it back into the sheath on Guan Zhiyuan's waist.
"you……"
Guan Zhiyuan's eyes were blank. He had already made up his mind to die. But Qiao Xi returned the dagger to him? How could she be so soft-hearted?
How foolish and naive it is to be able to——
Just as this thought arose in his mind, Qiao Xi leaned over and tiptoed to kiss his lips, taking advantage of Guan Zhiyuan's unpreparedness. The soft and moist unfamiliar touch instantly invaded him.
This also made Guan Zhiyuan's eyes widen in disbelief.
Never been so offended.
His hands were bound by Qiao Xi's vines and he couldn't break free. When Qiao Xi teased him like this, he wanted to kick her away.
However, Qiao Xi seemed to see through his thoughts.
When Guan Zhiyuan wanted to raise his leg to kick her away, Qiao Xi had already raised her knee and forcefully squeezed it between the man's legs, thrusting hard with just the right amount of force.
Not too heavy, not too light.
But it can immediately attract Guan Zhiyuan's attention.
Originally, his presence wasn't that strong, but after being teased by Qiao Xi, his body's instincts were quickly awakened. Furthermore, the girl's hands were restless, and she lifted the hem of his clothes and slipped away.
Soon it moved to his chest.
"Um……"
Guan Zhiyuan was blocked by her red lips in the kiss, and could only make such short and incomplete syllables from the gaps in the kiss.
It's just that this voice just came out.
Even he himself felt shocked and ashamed, but Qiao Xi kept trying different methods as if she was using him as an experiment.
There is a slight weakness in the lower legs.
"Don't……"
Guan Zhiyuan finally managed to avoid her lips a little, but the hot and ambiguous kiss came again, making his next voice melt into it.
It should have been a look of hatred.
As Qiao Xi's words gradually became hazy, his face took on an unnatural color. His ears were burning red, accompanied by an extremely honest instinct.
The feeling of shame multiplied.
He hated himself for being teased like this, powerless to fight back. When he accidentally met the girl's beautiful, clear eyes, filled with curiosity and inquiry, his self-loathing became even stronger.
The elegant fragrance of the girl lingers in the breath.
It's like the best catalyst.
Stirring up his hot and restless instincts, a voice in his head seemed to be urging him to give in quickly, causing the defenses of his rationality to completely collapse from the inside out.
Qiao Xi was just in a spur of the moment situation.
She had never tried such an active approach, so she took the initiative to kiss Guan Zhiyuan and do this.
The temperature on my knees was too hot to ignore.
She even noticed that Guan Zhiyuan was trembling slightly. Qiao Xi left the young man's lips thoughtfully and stopped kissing him. She just missed Guan Zhiyuan's slightly confused and somewhat dejected expression.
"...are you done yet?"
He asked in a low voice with trembling lips and hoarse voice.
Qiao Xi only separated her lips from his, but she was busy the rest of the time. She looked more like she was leaning against Guan Zhiyuan's arms, but the young man was so tormented by her that he closed his eyes, his thick eyelashes trembling slightly.
Quite embarrassing.
The feeling of self-loathing, coupled with the inappropriate feeling of strangeness, had completely overturned his worldview. He had never imagined that he would be teased by such a disgusting person.
He hates Qiao Xi.
I think it was Qiao Xi's appearance that made the powerful base commander vulnerable.
but……
"You want to kill me, but you can't bear this?"
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and chuckled.
The girl's fingertips tapped his chest intentionally or unintentionally, and occasionally she would use a little force out of spite, which immediately made Guan Zhiyuan tense.
"That's enough. I won't kill you..."
Guan Zhiyuan was really annoyed by her teasing behavior. He softened his attitude and lowered his voice, with a hint of pleading in his words.
"That's all? Not even an apology?"
Qiao Xi looked at him doubtfully.
Can a matter that threatens someone's life be so easily dismissed?
If he wanted to kill an ordinary girl who had no power to resist, the scene now would probably be Guan Zhiyuan cleaning up the blood and collecting the girl's body.
Is it his turn to soften his attitude and beg?
"No, it seems it's still too light."
Qiao Xi sighed softly, but did not stop this time.
The light at her fingertips flashed slightly, and the vines that bound Guan Zhiyuan's hands extended downwards and slipped into the crotch of his pants.
Qiao Xi never likes to use violence to punish people.
This is probably her little bit of bad taste.
The vines were controlled by her fingertips, while Qiao Xi stood a little further away from Guan Zhiyuan with her arms folded, leisurely observing his expression and adjusting the vines.
"sorry……"
Guan Zhiyuan clenched his fists and tried to struggle free, but the deadly vines became more ferocious every time they sensed his intentions, and the rapid and violent movement of the vines attacked him almost like a madman.
His sanity collapsed again and again.
But was pulled back to the edge.
This was like being in the torture of hell between extreme cold and extreme heat, constantly pulling at his proud self-esteem and trampling it into the mud.
Guan Zhiyuan was sweating profusely.
He was tortured by Qiao Xi to the point of being neither down nor up. Every time he was on the verge of collapse, he was forcibly pulled back. He did not completely break down and go crazy, nor did he completely lose his mind.
Qiao Xi took out her room card and swiped the door open.
Hearing a clear "beep," Guan Zhiyuan reluctantly raised his eyelids and looked at her. His sweat-soaked shirt stuck to his back, and he looked rather disheveled.
"Take a shower and change your clothes, they're all dirty."
Qiao Xi's eyebrows were curved and she was smiling.
Guan Zhiyuan shuddered subconsciously. The strong strange feeling brought by his instinct was neither released nor suppressed. He opened his lips and seemed to want to say something but stopped.
"Can you still walk?"
The vines loosened his hands and untied them. Guan Zhiyuan's weightless body staggered and was about to fall. Qiao Xi helped him up.
"……able."
He clenched his hands into fists and then unclenched them, his legs weak from the torture, and with every step he took he could feel a strong strange sensation in front of him, which was very uncomfortable.
Qiao Xi pretended not to hear.
He helped the person straight into the bathroom and closed the door. Guan Zhiyuan glanced sideways and saw that Qiao Xi had no intention of leaving, and was stunned.
I felt a little bit of anticipation in my heart.
Yet, I feel disgusted with myself for being so miserable.
"You... aren't going out?" He frowned and asked tentatively. He looked really embarrassed now.
The one who responded to him was Qiao Xi with a pleasant expression.
"No, there's something else I want to do."
***
It's another round of revenge.
By the time this torture was over, Guan Zhiyuan had been tormented to exhaustion by her. In the end, he begged her with a hoarse voice, and Qiao Xi reluctantly stopped and let him go.
In the end, people come out in a daze.
He fell asleep as soon as Qiao Xi put a bathrobe on him. He looked really tired.
Qiao Xi didn't have any feelings.
But she felt refreshed after having fun, so she left Guan Zhiyuan to sleep here and went to Base A to visit the night market and eat barbecue.
It's so lively in this apocalyptic era.
It was also the first time for Qiao Xi to see her walking around with a bunch of food in her arms.
However, she didn't expect to meet someone from the official team of Base A here. In the noisy crowd, the older sister holding the captain's arm saw Qiao Xi and immediately smiled and waved to say hello.
"What a coincidence, you're here too?"
This beautiful older sister was the one who had spoken to Qiao Xi on the way back. The captain she was holding was also her boyfriend, who had personally sent Qiao Xi to Gu Xuanye.
"What a coincidence, Captain Chen and Sister Yan."
Qiao Xi greeted them politely and calmly.
The official team at Base A is treated very well, and they can have a day off every time they come back from a mission.
"The base commander hasn't returned yet. Wouldn't it be boring to wander around by yourself? How about joining us?"
Sister Yan covered her lips and smiled.
When she knew that Qiao Xi had a close relationship with Gu Xuanye, she wanted to build a good relationship with this little girl.
More friends, more paths.
Even if we can't become friends in the future, it's better than having more enemies.
"Is that okay? I won't be a third wheel and bother you guys, will I?"
The little girl widened her beautiful eyes in surprise, and her gaze rolled around in a mischievous manner.
"Of course you can. What's the big deal? Let's go play."
Sister Yan immediately left her beloved boyfriend behind.
She came over and took Qiao Xi's arm. When she got closer, she lowered her voice and spoke to Qiao Xi quietly.
"I heard the base commander even sent someone to protect you. How does it feel to be so pampered?"
The base commander wants to tell this pampered person the news.
Everyone who works there knows about it. The women are of course extremely envious and sometimes talk about the base commander in private conversations.
Some even joked about it.
If they had known that the base commander liked someone so young, they would have been paired up with him a few years later.
No one had any objection to Qiao Xi's age.
After all, the base commander wasn't much older than them, so the two of them looked quite compatible standing together. Furthermore, they were both young people, so their pursuit of love would surely be vigorous and they couldn't wait for the whole world to know about it.
Most of them just wanted to watch the show.
Watching the base chief come to the fancy pet.
When Sister Yan talked about this, her eyes were full of ridicule, but Qiao Xi just smiled and said nothing. Occasionally, she nodded in agreement, but didn't say anything more.
Captain Chen was carrying things for them from behind.
Qiao Xi was dragged by Sister Yan to visit various stalls to buy things, having a pleasant night life.
