The words that Xiao Yi had yet to utter were interrupted, and he choked. However, Lin Jiawen's resolute attitude also made him realize that the other party did not seem to want him to have contact with Ling Mengchen.
Xiao Yi continued to smile, and said nonchalantly, "Okay, let's go first."
However, Xiao Yi suddenly felt that things were getting tricky, because he found that Lin Jiawen's attitude towards Ling Mengchen did not seem to be that he treated him as an ordinary follower, because the other party would definitely not care so much about ordinary followers. If he was not an ordinary follower, would his original plan of first getting closer to him and then looking for an opportunity to switch people over still work
Besides this, Xiao Yi was very concerned that the relationship between this Lin and Ling Mengchen was not just an ordinary follower. So what was the relationship? Relatives? They had different surnames and looked nothing alike. Friends? Ling Mengchen was very popular in school before. All the people who were close to him were exposed. And considering his concern for Ling Mengchen, he definitely didn't have such a friend around him.
Since the relationship between relatives and friends has been ruled out, then what kind of relationship could make Lin Jiawen treat Ling Mengchen specially? Xiao Yi thought of a possibility, a possibility that he was very unwilling to accept. As soon as he thought of that possibility, he felt unspeakable bitterness and jealousy in his heart.
However, no matter how bitter and jealous he felt, Xiao Yi knew that this situation was almost unavoidable. After all, Ling Mengchen was just an ordinary person without superpowers, and he had no ability to survive in the apocalypse. And he looked so good, whether it was a male or female superpower, this situation could happen to him. What's more, he should be thankful. If it weren't for this thing he was unwilling to accept, with the survival rate of ordinary people in the apocalypse, he would definitely not be able to see him again five years later.
He just hated himself, hated why he didn't find him at the beginning of the end of the world, hated why he was not the one who met Ling Mengchen. It's been five years, five years. Thinking that the person he had been thinking about day and night for five years has always been owned by someone else, Xiao Yi felt indescribable pain in his heart. Especially when he knew that the other party was likely to stay in Z City for the past five years, Z City was so close to him. Whenever he thought of this, he regretted more than once that he didn't look more carefully.
But this is the last time, Xiao Yi said to himself in his heart, no matter how cowardly he was before and only dared to have a crush on her, or how he missed her in the past five years, this is the last time. Soon, he will come back to him, and this time, he will never miss him again.
After giving himself some psychological preparation, Xiao Yi's fluctuating heart finally calmed down a little.
After Lin Jiawen directly interrupted Xiao Yi and refused to take Bai Yichen out, he turned back and didn't know how to explain. Fortunately, Bai Yichen was very understanding and smiled at Lin Jiawen and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come back."
Lin Jiawen, who was originally worried about being misunderstood, felt warm in his heart and nodded to Bai Yichen with a smile.
Xiao Yi watched this harmonious scene from the side, but he felt it was a bit dazzling.
Because of Xiao Yi's sudden appearance, Bai Yichen and Lin Jiawen's plan to go out for a stroll together turned into Xiao Yi taking Lin Jiawen out for a stroll. However, after the two of them officially went out, the atmosphere seemed a little strange.
Although Xiao Yi tried his best to appear friendly so as to get closer to them, his mind always involuntarily popped up the glaring scene of Ling Mengchen smiling and saying to Lin Jiawen, "I'll wait for you to come back." Coupled with the fact that the other party had monopolized Ling Mengchen for the past five years, Xiao Yi's outward friendliness and his inner feelings were at two extremes. Even though Xiao Yi tried his best to conceal it, the keen perception of a psychic still made people feel that his attitude was a bit strange.
Lin Jiawen's reaction was even more straightforward. He could feel that this person had intentions towards his beloved. How could he not have any grudges? So even though he came out with him because the other person was the manager of the base, he kept a cold and perfunctory expression.
Just like that, Xiao Yi took Lin Jiawen for a tour around the base, and finally invited Lin Jiawen to have dinner together, but as expected, he was rejected, and finally he could only send him back.
After sending Lin Jiawen back to the villa, Xiao Yi was locked outside the door with a bang before he had a chance to look inside.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but frowned tightly. Is his method really feasible
In the next few days, Xiao Yi still followed the plan and went to see Lin Jiawen every day. However, after a few days, he not only did not feel that their relationship had become closer, but he felt that the atmosphere between them had become even stranger.
Finally, Xiao Yi decided to give up this obviously unworkable path, because these days, he never saw the person he was thinking about again, not even through the crack in the door. It was obvious that Lin Jiawen deliberately isolated himself.
In this case, there is no point in taking this roundabout route. It is a waste of time. It is better to be frank and speak frankly. He directly stated the conditions. As long as it is what Lin Jiawen wants and he can give it, he can use it to exchange for that person.
At the same time, after observing for these days, he knew that Lin Jiawen did like Ling Mengchen, but it was hard to say how deep this liking was. In short, he didn't believe that Lin Jiawen's feelings for Ling Mengchen were as deep as his.
Ling Mengchen had been his fantasy since he was a teenager. Looking at that dazzling boy, it was the first time that he knew his heart could beat so fast, the first time he dreamed of the same person with a dry mouth all night long, and the first time he knew that he liked the same sex...
It was just that at that time, because of the secular perspective, because of the strict family education, and because he knew that Ling Mengchen liked women, he knew that even if he gave up everything to confess his feelings, he would not get anything, and might even cause the other party to be disgusted, so he only dared to watch from afar.
Then, the end of the world came. Even though he went to look for him the first time he realized something was wrong, it was still too late. As if by accident, he found Ling Mengchen's girlfriend and Ling Mengchen's good friend, but did not find the person he wanted to find the most.
But God was not cruel to him after all. Five years had passed, and he finally saw him again. This time, there was no longer any restriction from the secular world. In this world of privilege for superpowers, the so-called girlfriend could no longer stop him. This time, he would be his, no matter what the price was.
He believed that if Lin Jiawen just liked Ling Mengchen, then no matter how much he liked something, he could give it up as long as there was enough benefit. What he had to do now was to take out something with enough weight and sincerity to move Lin Jiawen, in exchange for that person.
He thought that his position as the second-in-command of the base should be enough to impress Lin Jiawen.
Thinking this way, Xiao Yi confidently asked Lin Jiawen out the next day. However, he did not reveal his purpose. Lin Jiawen was just perfunctory in his attitude as he had been in the past few days. When Xiao Yi stated the conditions that he had thought about for a whole night, the temperature around Lin Jiawen dropped sharply, and his good water-based abilities almost turned into ice-based abilities.
Xiao Yi naturally noticed that Lin Jiawen's expression was not right, and knew that things were not going as smoothly as he thought, but he was obviously unwilling to give up easily, and continued to persuade: "Mr. Lin, I know you like Meng Chen too, but compared to a man, I think my position as the second in command of Lingxiao Base should be more important, and in addition to what I promised you, I can also give..."
"Bang!"
Xiao Yi didn't say the rest. Lin Jiawen seemed to have reached the limit of his patience. He stretched out his hand and punched Xiao Yi. However, Xiao Yi's full attention was used to persuade Lin Jiawen. He didn't pay attention and couldn't dodge in time. He was directly punched out of the window of the second-floor room by Lin Jiawen.
Because Xiao Yi was still concerned about Ling Mengchen's feelings, and Lin Jiawen never invited him in, Xiao Yi did not choose to have this conversation in the villa, but in the only restaurant in the base. As the only restaurant in the base, it is naturally the most crowded and prosperous place in the base. When a figure suddenly flew out of the second-floor window, many residents of the base looked around curiously, wondering which unlucky guy was offending the master of superpowers
However, when that figure coughed and got up from the ground, and they saw the face clearly, everyone fell silent instantly. Isn't this the most powerful psychic in their base, Lord Xiao Yi
The next moment, everyone turned their eyes to the window. Sir Xiao Yi was such a powerful psychic, who could have knocked him out
Then, they saw clearly the thin figure jumping down from the second-floor window. The other person had a cold face and was wearing a signature black windbreaker. People on the street recognized him immediately. Wasn't this the powerful supernatural being who joined their base a few days ago
In the end times, the number and strength of the psychics are the biggest issues for a survivor base. There are no stars in the world now. The psychics in the base, because of their lofty status and importance to the survival of the base, are more shining than the stars in the ordinary people of the base. In addition to worrying about the zombies outside, the ordinary people in the base are most concerned about the psychics. If nothing else, remember their appearance and don't accidentally bump into them. So although Lin Jiawen has only been in the base for a few days, the residents in the base have already recognized him.
A few days ago, when Xiao Yi took Lin Jiawen to familiarize himself with the base, everyone's eyes were always on them, and they were even secretly happy. Not only did they have a new powerful psychic in their base, but he also seemed to have a good relationship with Lord Xiao Yi.
But why did these two psychics, who had a good relationship a few days ago, start fighting today
"Cough cough." At the same time, Xiao Yi, who got up from the ground, coughed lightly for a while, then covered his chest and finally caught his breath. Of course, there was no big problem. Although Lin Jiawen's attack was not light, the physical strength of a top-level superpower like Xiao Yi was also terrifying.
"You..." Xiao Yi raised his head, obviously wanting to say something.
However, Xiao Yi had just started talking when Lin Jiawen interrupted him with a cold expression, "You'd better not mention what happened today in front of me again. I will never agree to what you said!"
After saying that, Lin Jiawen turned and left, and Xiao Yi looked at Lin Jiawen's resolute back without any room for maneuver, with an unclear emotion in his eyes.
After leaving, Lin Jiawen walked around the base again, and only went back when he felt that he had barely calmed down his anger.
After returning home, Lin Jiawen did not say a word about what happened today, because he did not want these trivial things to affect Bai Yichen's mood. However, he once again thought of the question he had thought about a few days ago: Should he really keep this survivor base
…
On the other side, Xiao Yi, who had returned, was also in a bad mood. When he thought about the result of today's negotiation with Lin Jiawen, his emotions fluctuated violently.
Refused, he actually refused!
For a moment, Xiao Yi even had the urge to rush over to fight with Lin Jiawen, and then forcibly snatch him away.
However, after this idea had been colliding violently in his mind for a long time, Xiao Yi still managed to suppress it, because he clearly remembered that the most important rule he had set in the survivor base was that the base's psychics were not allowed to fight without reason or rob each other of their property, and followers were obviously included in the scope of property. If he took the lead in violating this rule, then the base for which he had worked so hard to set the rules would undoubtedly be in chaos in an instant.
But was he going to just watch the person he had kept in his heart for so long stay with someone else without any way to save the base? No, there would be a way, there must be a way!
Just as Xiao Yi was lost in thought, an extremely beautiful woman reached out and pushed open the door, and walked in with a tray in her hand.
But Xiao Yi seemed to suddenly remember something. He raised his head and stared at the woman who walked in. Yes, how could he forget about her!
Wasn't it just for this day that he insisted on keeping her by his side
Qi Yuanyuan, who had come to deliver food, was suddenly stared at by Xiao Yi. She was a little at a loss for a moment, but soon, her cheeks slightly blushed under that deep gaze.
Just when her heart was beating wildly, she heard the other person's deep and magnetic voice, "Qi Yuanyuan, you have been with me for five years."
Qi Yuanyuan didn't understand why Xiao Yi suddenly asked this question, but the situation and Xiao Yi's unusual look made her misunderstand. She couldn't help but wonder excitedly, what happened? Could it be that Xiao Yi finally couldn't help it? Thinking that they had been together for five years, he was finally going to confess to her
Qi Yuanyuan forced herself to remain calm, suppressing her rapidly beating heart, and nodded, "Yes."
"Well, help me deliver something to a place tomorrow."
Eh? This sudden and unexpected conversation made Qi Yuanyuan raise her head in surprise, but she would not refuse what Xiao Yi asked her to do, so she nodded without thinking too much.
Xiao Yi looked at Qi Yuanyuan's well-behaved and obedient appearance, and felt a little satisfied in his heart. It has been five years. I have raised you for five years. It is time for you to be of use.
