Chapter 21

Sitting on the sofa chair, Chi Ying twisted her fingers tightly.

Gu Chi asked her a question just now, but she was too shocked by the impact, so she couldn’t say a word.

So the place of interrogation changed from the greenhouse to Gu Chi’s room.

She was fidgeting, but Gu Chi was not in a hurry, and even thought about making lemonade.

He sliced ​​two lemons, took an empty glass, threw all the lemon slices straight into it, and added water.

The glass is not big, and it is full of lemon slices. I don’t know whether I am soaking lemons in water or soaking lemons in water.

He handed over the glass.

“thanks.”

Chi Ying took it, thanked her very consciously, and then took a big sip from the cup.

“!”

Her teeth are going to be sore!

“Is it good?” Gu Chi asked ruthlessly.

“…Good drink.”

He twitched the corner of his lower lip, and said lightly, “Another cup?”

Chi Ying immediately put down the glass and shook her head quickly: “It’s so sour.”

Only then did Gu Chi stop.

He sat down opposite Chi Ying, raised his eyebrows coldly, “Wind ability?”

“…Ok.”

“In the supermarket where I saw you for the first time, there were two zombies with obvious wounds.” He raised his eyes, “I thought it was some supernatural being who came here, but it turned out to be you.”

Chi Ying felt guilty: “…um.”

“It’s quite honest.” Gu Chi paused, “The wind ability can be controlled to this extent, your strength should be higher than mine.”

Chi Ying nodded, and said unceremoniously, “Yes.”

It’s not that it should be above him, it must be above him, and it’s far beyond.

Gu Chi: “…”

How immodest.

He rubbed between his brows and said with a headache, “Then what about your spatial ability? Was it awakened before, or after being stabbed by Zhang Bin?”

Chi Ying pursed her lips, knowing that she probably couldn’t hide it, and said frankly, “I had it before.”

“Huh… Then I understand.” Gu Chi let out a long breath.

“In the last days, it’s a good thing to know how to protect yourself. I can understand, and you don’t have to feel guilty.”

He looked at Chi Ying with a calm expression.

“Whether it was discovering Professor Lin or you raised Zhang Bin’s suspicious points, they all helped us a lot. You are not my team member. I am very grateful for being able to do this.”

Chi Ying was silent, and after a while she asked uncertainly, “Really?”

Gu Chi nodded firmly.

“…Then why did you give me that glass of water?”

She was so sour that she almost passed out, and she reasonably suspected that this man was out to retaliate.

“…”

Gu Chi’s gaze drifted away uncomfortably.

“Thank you is one thing, but I should also have the right to be angry.” He had a serious face.

Chi Ying dared not speak out, and dared not refute at all.

She was wrong first, so it’s better to keep silent at this time.

“You go back first, we won’t stay at the headquarters for too long, we should leave in two days. If you still want to go to the B-level area, I will give you a ride, this is the previous promise. But…” He got up, “You have such ability, you will be much more comfortable staying at the headquarters.”

But his thoughts were far from being as peaceful as they seemed. For some reason, he very much hoped that Chi Ying could stay at the headquarters. It was as if he was still looking forward to seeing her again.

“I’m not going to the safe zone, but I want to follow you.” Chi Ying tightened her fingertips, and unconsciously pulled the corner of her clothes, “I’m very strong, and I have space, and I don’t lack supplies…”

Gu Chi raised his head in surprise, but didn’t speak.

“Can I join you?”

“…”

Gu Chi lowered his eyes.

“Sorry, no.”

Chi Ying was stunned.

“You are indeed strong, but my teammates can trust each other.” He looked into Chi Ying’s blank eyes, “You have too many mysteries, I can’t let you join. I need to be responsible to other people.”

He left his seat and turned his back to pick up the small basket of lemons he brought from the greenhouse.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up. Just put a few small fruits in the basket and make a flower? It’s just that he rejected her, and for no reason dared not look at her.

After a long time, just as Gu Chi was holding the basket of lemons that had been turned over twice by him, and was about to be covered with pulp, Chi Ying finally got up.

“Going back?” he asked.

Chi Ying didn’t answer his question. She summoned up her courage and said solemnly, “If trust is needed, I can do it.”

“But… just a confession to you, okay?”

Gu Chi froze in place, his heart was slightly poked by these words.

Before his brain could even react, he nodded involuntarily.

…

ten minutes later.

Gu Chi stared at the five colors of supernatural energy that Chi Ying held on the palm of his hand, his eyes glazed over.

Wind, water, fire, earth, wood…

“How?” Chi Ying stared at him expectantly.

“…um, um. It’s, it’s good, yes.”

It was the first time in Gu Chi’s life that he felt an illusion of doubting his life, even when the zombie virus broke out, he never had this feeling.

[Look, what did you scare the child into? 】The system gloats in Chi Ying’s mind, and the electronic sound can’t stop the chuckle.

Finally, someone can empathize with the shock it felt when it saw Chi Ying’s strength for the first time!

Chi Ying continued inhumanely: “I still have the ability to heal, but it’s useless. It can only heal my own wounds, and I won’t be infected with the zombie virus.”

That’s how it is, Gu Chi thought.

No wonder she was so sure that she would be fine when she was hurt by Zhang Bin.

After explaining all this, Chi Ying said with a sense of relief: “That’s all.”

Gu Chi took a deep breath, closed his eyes and prepared to take a break.

He is someone who has seen the world, calm down!

“All these abilities of yours were awakened together?”

Chi Ying nodded.

Indeed, she had it the moment she was programmed.

Gu Chi tried his best to calm himself down, and said sternly, “You must never tell other people about your abilities.”

“why?”

“The Human Alliance has the record for supernatural beings, the highest is dual-line supernatural powers. It is very difficult for dual-system supernatural powers to increase the level of supernatural powers, such as Mu Yu. She has been stuck in the third-level supernatural power for nearly two years. years.”

“As for the five kinds of abilities, plus the healing system and space abilities you mentioned, there are seven kinds…” Gu Chi took a breath, and when he said these words, his brain ached a little.

He wasn’t even sure he was sober.

“It’s not just about breaking league records.”

He said seriously: “If you don’t want to be taken advantage of by crooked people, you must not let other people discover your secrets.”

Chi Ying nodded, indicating that she remembered.

“So you now agree to me joining your team?”

Gu Chi: “…Well. Tomorrow, I will find an opportunity to tell other people, and you will follow along.”

Chi Ying finally relaxed.

“it is good.”

“Then I’ll go first?” After the matter was settled, it was time for her to go back.

“wait.”

Gu Chi called her to stop, and picked up the basket of bright yellow lemons in his arms again.

Chi Ying’s face suddenly changed.

“No need!”

Gu Chi couldn’t help laughing.

“Salt it with sugar, it will taste much better…”

When he said this, Chi Ying had already opened the door and ran away.

The room suddenly fell silent, only a very light laughter remained.

Nine o’clock the next morning.

Chi Ying tidied herself up early and went to have breakfast. Gu Chi took her there yesterday, and now that he knows the way, there is no need to bother him anymore.

Before entering the gate of the cafeteria, Chi Ying saw a figure with a fairy air all over him from a distance, guarding the door with a dinner plate.

Needless to say, this person is Yun Ling. Because her appearance was too eye-catching, and the position she was standing in was also very eye-catching, which frequently caused passers-by to turn their heads.

[It’s the heroine! 】

Ever since the Holy Mother’s points were wiped out by Chi Ying, the system now sees Yun Ling with green eyes.

As if noticing Chi Ying, Yun Ling turned sideways, looking at her from time to time, but still stood straight in place without turning around.

After Chi Ying approached, she greeted him friendly.

“morning.”

Yun Ling immediately turned sideways and said respectfully, “Morning!”

The voice is loud.

Chi Ying was taken aback by the sudden light in her eyes.

Why does it feel like she’s so excited all of a sudden…

Yun Ling glanced back and asked, “Where’s the person who was with you yesterday? Why didn’t you see him today…”

This is to say that Gu Chi is too late.

“Oh~ he’s not here. I came by myself.”

Inexplicably, Chi Ying seemed to see a secret joy on Yun Ling’s face.

“I happen to be alone, why don’t we go have dinner together?”

Chi Ying readily agreed.

…

While doing vegetables, Chi Ying discovered something. It seemed that Yunling would follow her to order whatever food she wanted.

She hesitated and said, “Do you like all these dishes?”

I remember that yesterday, the hostess still only had a few vegetable leaves on her plate…

“The dishes that can be selected by you must have their own uniqueness!” Yun Ling said firmly.

Chi Ying opened her mouth.

Always feel, is there something wrong?

“Oh…”

Forget it, let her ask for less. The hostess is mainly because she can’t eat and she can help solve it.

Almost all the people at the base were very busy. There were very few people who could leisurely eat breakfast like Chi Ying and the others. Most of them just brought something casually to do their work.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Chi Ying slowly began to eat.

Yun Ling sat opposite her, picked up a corn kernel with her chopsticks, and put it on her lips for a long while before sending it tremblingly into her mouth.

Chi Ying was halfway through eating, and also found that her eating speed was indeed a bit slow.

She raised her head to observe for a long time, Yun Ling had always been immersed in cooking, but after five minutes, three corn kernels fell on the plate…

She couldn’t help but tentatively said: “Well, are you used to eating?”

Yun Ling froze.

I can’t get used to it… She can’t get used to it.

The food here is so unpalatable, it is completely different from the spiritual plants grown in her spiritual spring space.

“I understand…” She clenched the chopsticks in her hand tightly, with a resolute look of death, “The road to becoming a strong person is bound to be bumpy, and you must constantly hone yourself through difficulties. This is the reason why you have reached such a state!”

Chi Ying: “…”

Well…she was sure, something must be wrong.

…

ten minutes later.

Chi Ying emptied the dinner plate and put down the chopsticks silently. Her gaze turned to Yunling whose hands were shaking like Parkinson’s, but the plate was still full.

“…”

She couldn’t bear it and said: “… Otherwise, let me help you eat a little?”

Yun Ling raised her head stiffly, with teary eyes open.

It seems that it is difficult for her to become strong…
