The three walked towards the dormitories.
Gu Qing pursed her lips. There were so many handsome guys, and another one was approaching.
Jiang Shuo had just arrived at the base today and was assigned to dorm building E. He was about to ask for directions.
He was stunned by the three incredibly attractive people walking towards him. A young man with silver hair and black eyes exuded a captivating, roguish charm. Another long-haired young man with a baby face looked even softer and cuter than a girl. The girl, dressed in a simple tracksuit, had her hair down, its ends slightly curled. Her black hair, gilded by the sunlight, made her face appear snow-white, like a fairy or an elf, breathtakingly beautiful.
Jiang Shuo's heart trembled slightly. A spark flickered in his eyes as he stared intently at the girl. This was a feeling he had never experienced before, as if something in his heart was pulling him, making him determined to have this girl.
"Hello, could you tell me where building E is?"
He seemed to be asking all three of them, but his eyes were fixed only on Xu Qian.
The familiar voice made Xu Qian's body tremble. She suddenly looked up.
He was tall and upright, with sharp features and deep eyes. The affection in his eyes seemed as intense as when they first met.
The past intimacy and pain flashed before her eyes.
Xu Qian's face turned ashen, and a lump formed in her throat. She couldn't speak a word and turned to run.
Mei Yuebai's expression changed, and she turned to chase after her.
Jiang Shuo frowned, touching his face. Was he that ugly?
In a secluded corner, she squatted down, clutching her head, trembling all over.
Wasn't she supposed to get revenge on him? What was she doing, running away?
"Xu Qian, what's wrong?" Mei Yuebai's expression darkened. She squatted down and gently held Xu Qian's trembling shoulders. Why did she become like this whenever she saw that man?
Xu Qian pinched the flesh of her tiger's mouth forcefully, forcing herself to sober up.
She lifted her pale, colorless face and said in a flat voice, "It's nothing, I suddenly felt like throwing up."
Mei Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, and scooped her into her arms.
"Let's go back."
"Mmm..."
Back at the dormitory, Xu Qian lay on the sofa, her eyes closed. Why had Jiang Shuo arrived at Hope Base early? In her previous life, he had gathered many teammates, but now he had come alone, half a month earlier.
Although he had no teammates then, his persuasive skills were extremely strong, and teammates came quickly. So, she also needed to gather a group of ability users as soon as possible to take on 5-star missions.
This time, she absolutely would not let him snatch the five-star mission.
Her spirits gradually recovered. She opened her eyes, glanced at the two people staring at her, and said, "Someone is coming for dinner tonight. What should we eat?"
Gu Qing looked confused and asked, "Who are we inviting?"
She replied faintly, "It's Mo Tianran, the third-in-command of the base. Getting along with him will be beneficial to us."
Gu Qing nodded. "How about barbecue? Plenty of meat, he'll definitely like it."
"Then barbecue, and a few other dishes."
Mei Yuebai narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "What does he look like? Is he handsome?" He just realized there were quite a few handsome guys at the base. He wanted to hide his little darling well.
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow. It was hard to say if such a person was handsome; she could only say he was upright.
"He's a good person."
She took out the barbecue ingredients and was about to help when Mei Yuebai pulled her and pressed her onto the sofa.
"You're not feeling well. Gu Qing and I will handle it."
Although Xu Qian said she wasn't feeling well, how could he believe it? It must be that man who was causing trouble.
After a flurry of activity, the two finally finished skewering the food. Xu Qian simply prepared three cold dishes: peanuts, smashed cucumber, and mixed wood ear fungus.
After Xu Qian lit the barbecue grill, the other two eagerly started grilling. The aroma gradually wafted into the room. Ye Yunzhou also walked out of his room, drawn by the smell.
"So fragrant." His previously drowsy eyes widened instantly. What was this... they even had meat.
"Dr. Ye, come over and grill."
"No, no, no, you guys grill."
He wasn't her teammate. How could he have the nerve to eat again? He had learned about the prices in the morning and realized that one meal here was more than he could earn from doing missions for half a year.
Xu Qian frowned and said, "Dr. Ye, come here, I want to chat with you for a moment."
They sat on the sofa, and Xu Qian casually picked up a cup and poured him a glass of mineral water.
"Dr. Ye, how about this, I'll cover your dinner from now on, but if my teammates get injured, you'll have to treat them. How about it?"
Xu Qian knew that Ye Yunzhou was a good person, the exceptionally good kind, and wouldn't use other people's things for free. In fact, he was completely unsuited to survive in this dark world.
"But..." Ye Yunzhou still felt something was not right. Was his ability that valuable?
"I originally wanted you to be my teammate, but unfortunately, you've already joined the Whirlwind Team. And my teammates are more than just these two. For your dinner, your future missions will be much more demanding."
Actually, having a healing-type ability user in the team was excellent. If a teammate got injured outside, they could recover immediately with their ability. It was a pity that Ye Yunzhou had already joined another team.
Ye Yunzhou lowered his gaze and said, "Okay, I'll do my best."
So, she wanted him to join her team.
Ding, system reminder, Charlotte's pocket watch is within 10 meters.
Where?
*Giggle, giggle.*
There was a knock on the door.
