Chapter 41 : C41
Gu Chi lowered his eyes, “Sorry, no.”
Chi Ying was stunned.
“You are indeed strong, but my teammates trust each other.” He looked into Chi Ying’s blank eyes, “There are too many mysteries about you, I can’t let you join. I need to be responsible to other people.”
Leaving his seat, he turned his back to pick up the small basket of lemons he brought from the greenhouse.
In fact, there was nothing to clean up. He just placed a few small fruits in the basket. It was just that he rejected her, and 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 revealing myself is needed, I can do it. But… I’ll just confess to you, is that okay?”
Before his brain could even react, he nodded.
…
After ten minutes, Gu Chi stared at the five colors of energy that Chi Ying held on the palm of her hand, his eyes glazed over.
Wind, water, fire, earth, wood…
“What do you think?” Chi Ying stared at him expectantly.
“…Um… Um… That’s good.”
For the first time in his life, Gu Chi felt an illusion of doubting his life. Even when the zombie virus broke out, he never felt that feeling.
[Look, you scared the man!] The system gloated in Chi Ying’s mind, and the electronic sound couldn’t stop the chuckle.
Finally, someone could empathize with the shock it felt when it saw Chi Ying’s strength for the first time.
Chi Ying continued inhumanely, “I also 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.”
‘No wonder she was so sure that she would be fine when she was hurt by Zhang Bin,’ Gu Chi thought.
After explaining all of it, Chi Ying said with relief, “That’s all.”
Gu Chi took a deep breath, closed his eyes and prepared to take a break.
He was someone who had seen the world, so he must calm down.
“All these abilities of yours were awakened together?”
Chi Ying nodded.
Indeed, she had them 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 powers.”
“Why?”
“There is only a record for people with two abilities at most. It is very difficult for people with two abilities to increase their levels, such as Mu Yu. She had been stuck in the third-level for nearly two years.”
“As for the five kinds of abilities, plus the healing and space abilities you mentioned. Yes, you really have seven kinds…” Gu Chi took a breath, and when he said those words, his brain ached a little.
He wasn’t even sure if he was sober.
“It’s not just about breaking league records.” (like World record)”
He said seriously, “If you don’t want to be used by crooked people, then you must not let other people discover your secret.”
Chi Ying nodded, “So you agree to me joining your team now?”
“Well, I’ll find an opportunity to inform the others tomorrow, and you can come along.”
Chi Ying finally relaxed, “Okay.”
“Then I’ll leave!” After the matter was settled, it was time for her to go back.
“Wait,” Gu Chi stopped her, 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, “Add some sugar, it will taste much better…”
When he said so, Chi Ying had already pushed open the door and ran away.
The room suddenly fell silent, only a very light laughter remained.
At nine o’clock the next morning, Chi Ying tidied herself up early and went to have breakfast. Gu Chi took her there the day before, and since she knew the way, there was no need to bother him anymore.
Before entering the gate of the cafeteria, Chi Ying saw a figure with fairy air all over from a distance, guarding the door with a plate.
Needless to say, that person was Yun Ling. Because her appearance was too eye-catching, and the place she was standing in was also very noticeable, which frequently caused passers-by to turn their heads.
[It’s the female lead!]
Since the Virgin Mary’s points were emptied out by Chi Ying, the system looked at Yun Ling with greedy 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 turned sideways immediately, and said respectfully with a loud voice, “Morning!”
Chi Ying was taken aback by the sudden light in her eyes.
Why did it feel like she was so excited all of a sudden?
Yun Ling glanced back and asked, “Where’s the person who was with you yesterday? Why isn’t he here today?” She was talking about Gu Chi.
“Oh~ I came by myself.”
Inexplicably, Chi Ying seemed to see a secret joy on Yun Ling’s face.
“I happen to be alone too, why don’t we go have a meal together?”
Chi Ying readily agreed.
…
While adding vegetables on her plate, Chi Ying discovered that Yun Ling would pick the same food she asked for.
She hesitantly asked, “Do you like all these dishes?”
The day before, the female lead had only a few vegetable leaves on her plate…
“The things that you selected must have their uniqueness! “Yun Ling said firmly.
Chi Ying opened her mouth.
There seemed to be something wrong.
“Oh…”
Forget it, let her be. The female lead couldn’t eat.
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 eat before 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.
