Ye Xiao looked really miserable. Even though most of his wounds had healed, his tattered and blood-stained clothes still made him look as if he had suffered a very serious injury. So he didn't stay outside for long and went back first.
After getting in the car, Lin Tantan began to think about where to get the supernatural ingredients.
Although Ye Xiao did not leave the base these days, others did. But Lin Tan basically knew how much they harvested every day. He had never heard of any of them getting anything with super powers - superpowered animals and plants are like superpowered people among humans, they are rare and you have to rely on luck to encounter one.
However, with the rise of hunting, several trading markets have been set up in the base. Every day, people bring what they get outside that they don’t have the channels to deal with here to trade. There is a market quite close to here, and Lin Tantan wants to go and take a look.
Ye Xiao said that he asked others to buy them, but Lin Tan Tan shook his head: "Most people can't tell whether something has superpowers or not." Lu Jianping has a lot of people and a lot of money, so he could buy a lot of mutated animals and plants that flow into the base and then slowly identify and select them, but they can't do that. If they really asked someone to sweep through several markets in the base, they might have spent all their savings before they could buy a few ingredients with superpowers.
So Lin Tantan wants to go and see for himself.
Ye Xiao was silent. It turned out that the human and financial resources were still too insufficient.
He said he wanted to accompany her, Lin Tan Tan asked him to go back and rest first, but Ye Xiao disagreed. She went to buy things for him, so how could he let her go alone? He was also worried.
Ding Jinbo and his group have been dealt with, but it is hard to say whether there are other people with bad intentions in the base. It is also unknown whether Ding Jinbo has other accomplices. Bai Cheng will question Wang Shuo and He Fan separately.
Seeing that he was persisting, Lin Tan asked him, "Can you hold on?"
"It's okay, I'm fine now." Ye Xiao looked at himself. His image was not very good, but it didn't matter. There were spare clothes in the car. He took out the clothes. Lin Tantan immediately turned his face to the window.
Ye Xiao laughed and quickly changed his clothes, but did not change his pants. A girl was sitting next to him, and it would be too rude to change his pants. Fortunately, he had few wounds on his legs, so he could just consider the few holes in his pants as being fashionable. Because they were black, the bloodstains were not very visible.
After changing clothes, we arrived at the nearest market, which was similar to a vegetable market, very large, lively, and chaotic. There were many stalls of various kinds, with paths in the middle for people to walk. People either put their goods directly on the ground, or spread a piece of cloth on the ground first, and the more sophisticated ones would build a platform with wood or adobe.
The more ordinary and low-key things for sale include books, jewelry, clothes, cosmetics, mobile phones, luggage, bedding, tents, large and small furniture and even household appliances. The things that are more in line with the apocalyptic background include various knives, hammers, axes, guns without bullets, compound bows, homemade weapons, etc. The ones that attract the most envious glances and that people look at again and again are the stalls selling food.
After the huge mutant pigs were gutted, their body parts were placed on the chopping board; bald pigeons as big as adult roosters were locked in cages waiting for buyers; ordinary pet cats of various colors that would have been sold at sky-high prices before the end of the world were locked in boxes, looking skinny and dirty, with a sign on the box saying "Sold per piece", one cat for three pounds of fine grain.
There were also people whose shops had all kinds of messy weed-like things, but their stems and leaves were very plump. They should be mutated wild vegetables, but I didn't know if they were edible. There were also people whose stalls had a lot of brown root-like things, some of which looked like yam and some like cassava. There was a stall selling all kinds of mushrooms, some with normal heads and some with super large mushroom-like things.
Among all the things that can be eaten, there is nothing particularly normal that makes people know at first glance that it is edible. That kind of thing can be sold at a high price and everyone is begging for it, so it will naturally not appear in such a chaotic market.
But even if the food was rare or outlandish, there were still a lot of people gathering in front of those stalls. Even if some people couldn't afford to buy it, they still liked to take a few more glances at it. In contrast, the stall owners were also very vigilant, and there were usually several men guarding the stalls.
Lin Tantan and Ye Xiao attracted a lot of attention as soon as they came in. It was because they were too clean, completely different from the majority of people struggling for survival.
The person in charge of managing the order of the market recognized the two people and ran over: "Captain Ye, Miss Lin, why are you here? Tell me what you want to buy."
Lin Tan looked at the man doubtfully, then looked at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao just nodded slightly at him and said, "Let's take a look for ourselves."
The other party was also very tactful. He said a few more words asking him to call him or his subordinates if he needed anything, and then returned to his post.
Lin Tan Tan asked who this person was, and Ye Xiao said, "I don't know him, but he is from Lu Jianping. This market was originally managed by Li Qun's people, but it was only taken over by Lu Jianping's people today."
Lin Tan Tan nodded and went straight to the stall selling food.
It is also very easy to judge whether these things have superpowers. Just touch them and use your superpowers to explore them. Anyone with superpowers will have residual energy in their bodies even if they are dead. This kind of energy may not be felt by ordinary people with superpowers, but Lin Tantan can feel it.
Touching everything will naturally make the stall owners dissatisfied. There was a stall owner who was selling meat of some unknown wild animal and raised his eyebrows and wanted to speak, but Ye Xiao glanced at him indifferently and the other party immediately fell silent.
Lin Tantan suddenly stopped in front of a bright red liver on the stall, touched it with his fingers to confirm that it contained wood energy, and asked, "What animal's liver is this?"
The stall owner hurriedly said that the liver of an ordinary calf is definitely not a mutant species and is absolutely safe to eat.
Lin Tan looked at him, neither agreeing nor denying, just asking how to sell it.
The stall owner saw that she was fair and clean, so he knew she had no worries about food and drink, and wanted to rip her off. However, looking at Ye Xiao's tall and strong figure and his intimidating eyes, he was sweating profusely. He said tentatively, "Two catties of fine grains, rice, millet or flour will do. For coarse grains, I'll give you three catties."
Lin Tantan looked at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was holding a bag in his hand, which happened to contain a bag of rice. He weighed two kilograms of rice in exchange for the beef liver. The little hamster on Lin Tantan's shoulder looked at the rice that was taken away with eager eyes. It's its rice!
Lin Tan Tan pinched it with amusement and put it in his pocket.
After the two left, the stall owner couldn't help but ask if anyone knew who they were. One person said, "You don't know this, but does Ye Xiao know? Ye Xiao doesn't know, but Lin Tantan, the initiator of the free flu clinic, must know, right? She's that girl."
The stall owner was stunned for a moment. That was Lin Tan Tan. Then he remembered something he had heard. A favorite general under Commander Lu was poisoned and had to eat supernatural plants to detoxify. So he specially invited Lin Tan Tan to pick the supernatural plants.
It was then that people learned that plants also have superpowers. Animal superpowers can be determined by the superpowers they release when they attack, but now many mutant plants are not aggressive and just stay in the soil. Whether they are mutated can be roughly determined by their appearance and size, but whether they have superpowers can only be guessed.
But this man who could judge supernatural powers only bought him a piece of beef liver.
He took a breath and said to his partner, "Are you going to feed those two dogs with the offal? Hurry up and stop them. As for the beef, talk to the buyer about whether you can buy it back. Forget it, I'll do it myself!"
Lin Tantan had no idea that she had caused this little episode. She walked for a long time before stopping at a stall. There were a lot of large and small, oddly shaped things that looked like white radishes on the ground. Lin Tantan stared at one of them that was as thick as an arm and looked particularly ugly. It was a local.
"You want this?"
"Yeah." She nodded, so Ye Xiao paid the bill again and put the ugly radish in his pocket.
After walking around again and not encountering any other special ingredients, and seeing that more and more people were coming, they returned to the car and drove towards the villa. The little hamster crawled out of Lin Tantan's pocket and threw itself into the bag of rice, crying loudly.
Lin Tantan was somewhat speechless: "You are a hoarder, okay, just put away the rest."
The little hamster was happy and quickly swallowed the rest of the rice and the ribbon together in one gulp.
This little fellow was not even as big as Lin Tan's fist, but his mouth could open very wide, and in the blink of an eye the bag of rice disappeared.
Yes, this guy has the ability of space, plus the ability to find people, so Lin Tantan carries it with him, but its space is very small, only about half a cubic meter. Considering its size, this space is already very large, and it can store enough food for it to eat for several years, but now most of this space is used by Lin Tantan to store crystal cores, weapons, food and other things.
Lin Tan Tan touched the little guy and said to Ye Xiao, "That piece of beef liver has wood energy, and the white radish has earth energy. I'll cook it right away and you can eat them all to see if it works."
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Okay."
After returning to the villa, Ye Xiao went to wash up thoroughly first, while Lin Tan Tan watched the invited chef prepare the two ingredients.
When the chef heard that this was an ingredient with special powers, he lost his composure and repeatedly asked Lin Tan Tan if he could treat it as a normal ingredient. Lin Tan Tan told him to just cook it boldly as long as it tasted good.
The chef was reassured. The beef liver had a strong fishy smell, so he cut it into thin slices and stir-fried it with garlic slices, added heavy ingredients to suppress the fishy smell, and stewed the local radish with pork into soup.
While Lin Tantan was watching the two ingredients being turned into dishes, Ye Xiao received a message from Bai Cheng upstairs. Bai Cheng said that Wang Shuo and He Fan had been interrogated repeatedly and confirmed that there were only five people in their group and no other accomplices. And after repeated interrogation, He Fan was the first to give up and revealed all their plans.
In fact, there was no plan. It was mainly mentioned that there was a magical plane nearby.
"That 'magic plane' flew all the way from the capital to capture Tan Tan and then fly directly to the capital." Bai Cheng said. He was also a little scared. This place is only a few hours' flight away from the capital. If they really succeeded quietly, and they didn't find anyone in a few hours, Lin Tan Tan should have arrived in the capital, and it would be too late to say anything by then.
Ye Xiao looked at the corner of the construction site in the distance outside the balcony, his face was extremely cold, and he squeezed the intercom-like communicator until it squeaked: "Did he say where that thing is?"
"He doesn't know either. They don't have a direct channel to contact the pilot of the magic plane, so they need to use the capital as an information transfer station." Bai Cheng sighed, "What is certain is that this magic plane is still in Ning City, and it was sent by Min Yande. These five people are indeed hired by Min Yande's side."
Ye Xiao sneered silently, that’s great.
Bai Cheng continued, "He Fan also knows one thing. The capital seems to have discovered that the core of superpowers lies in a certain structure of the brain. First, they want to know the difference between the brain tissues of single-line, dual-line, and triple-line superpowers. Second, they want to transplant that part through surgery so that people without superpowers can have superpowers. It is said that it is theoretically feasible, and clinical experiments have been conducted on dead superpowers and ordinary people."
That's why they were so eager to capture Tan Tan when they heard that she was a triple-line mutant. On the one hand, they could study her brain tissue, of course, that had to be done while ensuring her safety. Secondly, the most important value of a multi-line mutant is probably that she could be the best donor when the transplant surgery technology matures.
Because she is a multi-system psychic with huge potential, it is foreseeable how powerful she will be in the future, so of course the sooner she is captured the better. The sooner she is captured, the weaker she will be.
Ye Xiao's eyes were dark and stormy, and he sneered, "You are just dreaming!"
Then he said, "Don't let He Fan contact outsiders."
"I know." Bai Cheng paused, "He said Tan Tan is a five-element superpower user, is that true?"
Ye Xiao was silent for a moment: "It's true."
Bai Cheng took a breath: "This is really... No wonder Min Yande made such a big move. Ye Xiao, it seems that our development speed is too slow now, and it is completely unworthy of your little girl's level."
Ye Xiao laughed: "I know, notify everyone to have a meeting tomorrow."
"good."
Ye Xiao stood for a moment, then turned around and went downstairs.
At this time, the two dishes were already on the table. Lin Tan Tan hurriedly called him, "Come down, they are ready. Come and eat. It's almost dinner time. Let's eat together."
"Okay." Ye Xiao smiled and sat down opposite her. He ate the two dishes under her expectant gaze. She was so nervous that she forgot to pick up her chopsticks and couldn't help asking, "What do you feel?"
Ye Xiao didn't feel anything, so he ate a little more and felt it: "My body feels warm and comfortable, just like I drank a big pot of hot tonic soup." As for other feelings, there was nothing.
Lin Tantan checked and found that the poison was still in his body, not a bit less, and was a little disappointed.
Ye Xiao smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, come, you eat too."
Since it couldn't be used as an antidote, Lin Tantan also reached out his chopsticks. It tasted really good. Because it was their first time eating supernatural ingredients, they left a lot for others who hadn't returned yet to try.
However, it happened that no one else came back at night.
Bai Cheng also had to take inventory of the items in the armory. Xu Qin was hanging out with the people from the research institute, studying the supernatural power detector. Jiang Xiaotian was installing a comprehensive monitoring system for the construction site. The others also had their own things to do, so when the chef left, only Ye Xiao and Lin Tan were left in the villa.
Oh, and a litter of mutant rats.
But that can be ignored.
For the first time, just the two of them spent the night together in the same house.
Lin Tantan felt that this feeling was a bit strange, and made him nervous and uneasy. He went to look at Ye Xiao, and he seemed very comfortable and took out some wine from the wine cabinet.
Two bottles of Wuliangye, one with 39% alcohol and one with 56% alcohol.
As he took the wine, he said, "Luckily, Bai Cheng thought that the wine cabinet would look ugly if it was empty, so he stuffed a few bottles in. Otherwise, it would be hard to find good wine."
Hearing the name Bai Cheng, the strange tension in Lin Tantan's heart suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by a bit of depression. She was silent for a while, then she said, "It's fine as long as it's wine. It has to be good wine?"
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "I rarely drink. If I drink only low-quality wine, wouldn't that be hard on myself?"
Lin Tantan was a little worried: "Do you rarely drink? How much alcohol can you drink?"
Ye Xiao said confidently: "Don't worry about this."
It seems to be very good. Lin Tan Tan was relieved and suddenly thought of something: "You may need to soak in water at night. Do you need a big container? A big bucket? A bathtub?"
None of the three bathrooms in this villa has a bathtub.
If it was a big barrel, it would be hard to find one that big right away.
The two of them looked at each other, and seemed to realize that this was a serious matter.
Lin Tantan tapped his palm and said, "Let me make one for you!"
So in Ye Xiao's room, the bed was moved to the side and a large enough space was cleared. Lin Tantan used his earth-related abilities to create a hollow cylinder on the open space. It was half a person's height, like a bathtub, but the bottom was connected to the ground and could not be moved. It was made to be extremely round and smooth, without a trace of roughness. Although it was made entirely of mud, it felt as smooth and solid as pottery.
She spent a lot of time on this, and when she finished, she felt that something was missing, so she asked if they needed a place to sit. Then, without waiting for Ye Xiao's answer, she built a step inside so that people could sit inside.
She was worried and a little depressed at first, but her mood improved as she worked on this thing. She even asked Ye Xiao to go in and try it out to see if he could put his arms on the edge of the "bucket" while sitting.
"How is it? Is it more comfortable like this?" After asking, he looked at the round "bathtub" and felt a little dissatisfied. He muttered to himself, "It should be made into a long bathtub shape so you can lie in it."
Ye Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not here to take a bath, you can do whatever you want."
"How can that be possible? We may have to fight a long war, so of course we have to do it in the most labor-saving way." Lin Tan Tan waved his hand and started fiddling with the "bathtub" again.
The long oval shape had to be made to conform to ergonomics. There were no books or pictures to refer to, and the mobile phone could not access the Internet, so Ye Xiao's role was reflected again. She asked him to lie down in it from time to time to try it out, and asked if it was okay and whether he would get hurt.
Ye Xiao felt like he had become a prop.
Of course he also enjoyed the process.
It was getting dark, and the night was getting deeper. The two of them were just fooling around. Finally, at around eight o'clock, Lin Tantan finally made a bathtub that satisfied her. The overall lines were as soft as they could be, and lying in it was as comfortable as she could be. Finally, she put a huge water bag on it and covered it with a few soft blankets. It was done!
She started filling it with water.
There was no need to worry about the water source or the water pipe. She just put her hand in and the water flowed out.
Ye Xiao just watched with a smile, and suddenly reached out to the water she had released and caught a handful of it. The water was crystal clear, just like tap water, but it had a fresh feeling that the water from the pipe did not have, as if it was a clear spring in the mountains.
He turned her hand over with some curiosity, and saw water gushing out of her palm. He was surprised: "So that's how it is. I have always been curious about how water-type psychics release water, but it's hard to watch carefully."
"A wood-type mutant releases vines, and a fire-type mutant releases fireballs. Aren't they the same?"
Ye Xiao shook his head: "No, I am not surprised by those. Some are just illusions created by energy. I am most curious about this because it is real water. It can be eaten and used and can exist for a long time. How can the supernatural power become something like H2O?"
There was a strange sense of innocence when he spoke seriously about his doubts. The slightly frowned and confused look on his face made Lin Tantan feel that he was a little cute. He couldn't help laughing: "You actually have this kind of confusion too!"
Ye Xiao said: "This is normal, most people have the desire for knowledge and curiosity, of course I have it too."
Lin Tantan couldn't stop laughing, and then he said, "Although I have water-related abilities, I can't answer this question. Some things can't be explained by science. All we can do is try to understand the rules and gain greater convenience and benefits."
Ye Xiao looked at her steadily, his eyes shining slightly.
Lin Tantan felt a little uncomfortable: "What are you looking at?"
Ye Xiao came over, put his chin on her shoulder, and said with a sigh: "I was thinking, Tan Tan is really smart, and sees many things clearly and thoroughly."
A breath blew over, and a soft voice sounded beside his ear. Lin Tantan couldn't help but tremble, and his face slowly turned red.
She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but she held back after only a slight movement.
Her eyelashes flickered, and he didn't look at her, focusing on letting go, and whispered, "No way, everyone knows these principles, and don't you blame me for hiding the fact that I'm actually a five-element superpower from you?"
Ye Xiao saw that she was still not used to his touch, so he smiled and sat back, one arm resting on the edge of the "bathtub", looking relaxed and happy: "Everyone has secrets. If you were so careless and told everyone you met that you were a five-element superpower, I would be worried to death. It's good for you to be like this, but I am really ashamed of myself."
Lin Tan looked at him and said with some annoyance: "You have so many superpowers, but I only have one. I must work harder."
Lin Tantan couldn't help rolling her eyes, and saw his expression suddenly changed. She immediately noticed: "What's wrong?" She remembered something and looked at the time. It was nine o'clock. How could he be so punctual
She asked in a low voice: "Has it started?"
Ye Xiao blinked, took a few breaths and then said, "Well, let's start."
"What does it feel like?"
"That's right, I just feel like there are countless ants running around in my body." He spoke slower than usual, as if he was worried that if he spoke faster his tone would change, or that he would reveal a sound that shouldn't be made. His hands were gripping the edge of the bathtub, his veins bulging slightly, and the artery on the side of his neck was swelling with his pulse, several times more obvious than normal.
Lin Tantan was frightened and quickly filled the bathtub: "Go in now."
Ye Xiao shook his head: "Wait a moment, no rush." His speed and tone of voice remained normal, but his expression became increasingly ugly. He took a long breath and exhaled slowly, smiling bitterly: "This is indeed quite powerful."
Lin Tan Tan looked at him worriedly and put his hand on the back of his hand.
Ye Xiao said: "Talk to me to distract me."
"Hmm." Lin Tan thought for a moment, thought of a topic, hesitated and asked, "Why do you like me?"
Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at her, and said thoughtfully: "Why do you like me? This is hard to explain. Do you remember when we first met?"
"I remember." Of course she remembered. She didn't recognize him at first sight, but when she heard him introduce himself, Ye Xiao was almost scared to death.
She would probably never forget how she felt at that time, she felt she was so stupid.
But at this moment, Ye Xiao said: "My first and most profound impression of you should be that I think you are a girl who must be easy to deceive."
"?" Lin Tan Tan, "Ah? Why?"
Although I felt a little silly at the time, it was still different from being easily deceived, right? Lin Tantan puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction.
Ye Xiao couldn't help but pinch her face, but his hand suddenly spasmed and relaxed. He sighed, "Come here and let me hug you, and I'll tell you why."
Lin Tan Tan stared at him, but finally, noticing beads of sweat on his forehead and that he looked very tired, she moved closer with a soft-hearted look.
He reached out and embraced her.
Ye Xiao sighed, "We just met, and you shared your knowledge and experience of supernatural powers with me without reservation. Who can do such a thing? I wonder if you trust strangers too easily? You will be easily deceived, right? I think I have to thank you when I have the chance, and then keep an eye on you to make sure you don't get deceived."
Lin Tantan frowned: "I'm not like that to others. I think you are trustworthy."
"Yeah, let's talk about good vision." Ye Xiao laughed, "After that, we went to Peking University City, and we had a pleasant cooperation. Except for the female soldiers in the army and a few other women, my usual impression of women is that they are a little weak, but you are completely different. You... stay calm in times of crisis and can help a lot. You are amazing, completely different."
Lin Tantan was a little embarrassed: "It's not that exaggerated." But she understood in her heart that she was acting too different. But if she behaved like everyone else, or even acted like a delicate girl who could only shout and scream, she would definitely be disliked. How could she possibly get his approval
She asked: "Is that why you like me?"
Ye Xiao looked down at the girl in his arms. Of course, that was not the case. He knew she was very capable but he just admired her purely. The first time he was really moved was when they retreated from the university town and Xu Qin told him that she was leaving the convoy and was going to look for him. It was the first time a girl turned back to look for him even when she was facing danger from all directions.
During the day and two nights that she treated Mei Bosheng, he was always worried. Seeing how hard she worked, his heart was filled with worry. At that time, he told himself that no matter whether the treatment was successful or failed in the end, he would be grateful to this girl for the rest of his life.
The most shocking thing was finding her with a broken hand, kneeling in a pool of blood but still smiling at him. Thinking of that scene till now still makes him feel heartbroken, gratitude and guilt intertwined. After that, during the day and night on the first floor of the cafeteria, he watched her sleeping peacefully, but his mind was in a mess.
It was around that time that I began to develop a slight affection for her.
But he suppressed these emotions and didn't think about doing anything, at least not in a hurry.
After all, at that time, we had only known each other for about ten days at most.
And there are so many things to do that I have no time to think about anything else.
But Bai Cheng made the matter clear.
Ye Xiao knew that he could not hesitate any longer. He thought calmly and quickly, and then gave Bai Cheng and himself an answer.
He likes Lin Tan Tan. She is decisive and calm, brave and generous. She is capable but not arrogant. She has paid a lot but doesn’t take it seriously. She doesn’t feel sorry for herself when she hurts her hand, and she doesn’t want to trouble others because of it. She is broad-minded and willing to teach and promote other people with special abilities. She is lively and cute, but sometimes a little confused. She is very nice to her own people, but she will still confront those she doesn’t like without hesitation. She...
In short, she is different and lovable in every way. He is curious about her, feels distressed, responsible, and has a deep affection for her. To sum it up, he likes her, the kind of love that wants to pursue her. When he thinks that she might be pursued by someone else, even if that person is his good brother Bai Cheng, he will feel jealous and anxious.
He always decided to accomplish something and would overcome all difficulties to accomplish it, but in this case, he did not dare to act rashly. Facts also proved that he was right. His little girl avoided him very much. If he had directly pointed it out at that time and was clearly rejected, he would probably have given up directly, right
After all, I didn't like her that much at that time.
Fortunately, he chose to suppress it. In the days that followed, the more he interacted with her, the deeper his love for her became, so deep that he was no longer willing to let her go and would rather lie and pretend to keep pressing her.
Shouldn't she be... a little annoying? Fortunately, not only was she not annoying, she actually came to his side as he wished, and now she was leaning quietly and obediently in his arms.
Ye Xiao felt particularly satisfied.
Lin Tan Tan didn't hear what was said next, so he looked up and asked.
He met her gaze with a gentle expression, but his voice unconsciously lowered. He did not continue what he said before, but said: "In fact, from the beginning, I felt very unfamiliar with superpowers. In front of Bai Cheng and the others, I acted calm and confident, but I was actually nervous inside. But I couldn't show it in that situation. If even I panicked, what would everyone do? It wasn't until I met you and you told me about superpowers and shared with me everything you knew that I really began to understand them and stepped into this new field of superpowers, and stepped into it steadily."
I have heard about and seen with my own eyes how others approached the crystal core with great caution and fear, and even lost their lives in it, and how they felt trapped and confused while trying to figure out this thing.
He had never experienced any of these.
Because he met a man named Lin Tan Tan.
He held Lin Tantan's hand with his backhand, interlocking their fingers loosely, his eyes extremely gentle, with gratitude and solemnity: "Tantan, I never told you that it is my life's fortune to meet you."
The light was soft and the water was clear. His face was both enveloped by the light and reflected by the waves of water, giving him a dreamy handsomeness.
Lin Tantan was stunned.
Ye Xiao slowly lowered his head, as if he wanted to kiss her, but paused halfway, and finally turned to put his forehead in the crook of her neck and exhaled heavily.
Lin Tan Tan came back to her senses and heard his heartbeat like a drum, fast and urgent. She asked worriedly, "Can't you bear it?"
"A little bit. I'll hold it in for a while." If someone could see what's going on inside his body, they would discover that tiny pieces of energy, like black hairs, were madly wandering around in him, completely ignoring the resistance of bones, muscles and blood flow, and coming and going completely unhindered.
However, where these energies pass, the bones, muscles, and blood vessels will undergo an almost imperceptible distortion and reshaping. Because the energy moves too quickly, this distortion and reshaping fills the entire body almost all the time, bringing with it a horrible feeling of being bitten by insects and ants, and causing the body temperature to rise steadily.
He endured it until ten o'clock. Ye Xiao felt so burned that his head was a little confused. He couldn't tell whether he was burned or itchy. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he started drinking water. Drinking water did relieve the pain a little. He held on for a long time by drinking water, and finally soaked himself in the water.
At this time, his pulse was over 180 and his body temperature was even higher. He no longer had the strength to speak and even twitched from time to time. He clenched his hands tightly, as if only in this way could he control himself from scratching.
Lin Tan Tan was extremely anxious. She couldn't understand his pain, but just watching him made her anxious. She could only hold his hand to comfort him.
He seemed to feel a little more comfortable after soaking in the water, but after a few minutes he began to feel uneasy again. Lin Tan Tan touched the water, and found that the cold water began to warm up. She thought about it, raised her hand, and led the existing water directly to the balcony, splashed it onto the first floor, and then quickly poured in new water.
The icy water seemed to make Ye Xiao feel more comfortable. Lin Tan asked, "Will it feel better if it's a little colder? Do you want me to find an ice-type psychic?"
"No..." Ye Xiao's voice trembled, "This is good."
Lin Tantan tried to hold back but still couldn't hold back a few tears. She quickly wiped them away and said softly, "Let me talk to you."
But what to say? Her mind was blank. How about telling a story? When she was a child, the five elements of energy tortured her so much that she was in great pain. Her parents told her fairy tales, which really worked. So she recalled and started telling the stories. She continued to change the water while telling the stories. She repeated this over and over again. Ye Xiao actually managed to hold on until three o'clock just by changing the water.
No wine was used.
When the time came, Ye Xiao regained his composure. Lin Tantan immediately leaned over to pick him up from the water and carried him to the bed. At this time, his skin was wrinkled and he was very sleepy. He opened his eyes and looked at Lin Tantan. Lin Tantan's eyes were red and her expression was extremely loving. She used her water power to drain all the water from his body, touched his forehead, and said gently in a voice that was a little hoarse from telling a story: "Go to sleep, it's okay."
Ye Xiao blinked slowly, stretched out his hands to hold her close to him, and buried his face in the crook of her neck. Lin Tan Tan let him hold him, patting his back again and again, and touching his head, like comforting a big child who had been wronged.
Ye Xiao fell asleep quickly. Lin Tantan was also very tired. She had not been much more relaxed than Ye Xiao during these six hours. Her mind was tense and now that she relaxed she felt boundless fatigue and fell asleep.
He slept very deeply, and when the sun shone into the room the next day, Ye Xiao woke up first. As soon as he woke up, he felt that his posture was a little wrong. When he looked up, he saw a sleeping face. Ye Xiao was startled, and thought of what happened last night. His heart felt soft and warm. Then he found that he was actually resting his head on her arm, and she was holding him in a caring posture.
Then more memories came into my mind, such as being held by him like a child, being comforted by her patting my head, and her red eyes filled with heartache and love, and her soft voice telling me one fairy tale after another... Fairy tales
"..." Ye Xiao's expression suddenly became a little strange.
Although he would hug her and comfort her in the same way if they were in the other's situation, he still felt that something was not right.
