Qi Yuanyuan stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to come back to her senses. She kept replaying the scene in her mind and felt cold all over.
But this is how she feels now. When she heard that question back then, she just naively thought that Xiao Yi knew Ling Mengchen was her boyfriend, so he asked her this question, asking why her boyfriend didn't stay by her side to protect her. After all, she and Ling Mengchen were a famous couple on campus at the time.
And now she still remembers that when they were on the run, Xiao Yi didn't just give special care to her. In addition to her, Xiao Yi also gave special care to several friends of Ling Mengchen whom they met later. But at that time, she still felt good about herself and thought that Xiao Yi only gave special care to those people because he knew them and they were alumni. Now that she thinks about it, the only thing in common between her and those who were given special care was that she had a close relationship with Ling Mengchen.
At this moment, Qi Yuanyuan felt that she was so stupid. She had only seen the truth now. In the past so many years, she had naively believed that Xiao Yi had a little affection for her, so he always kept her by his side and took special care of her. No matter what danger she encountered, she would be the first one to be saved.
Think about what Xiao Yi has done since Ling Mengchen appeared. Perhaps this is the real purpose of Xiao Yi keeping her by his side. It turns out that she has been just a bait and a tool from the beginning to the end, a bait to attract Ling Mengchen.
Qi Yuanyuan stared blankly at the photo in her hand. Perhaps because it had gone through so many years, the photo paper had turned yellow, but it was obvious how carefully the owner had protected the photo. Apart from the yellowed photo paper, there was not even a trace of scratch on the surface.
You have to know that in the first two years of the apocalypse, Xiao Yi had not yet built this survivor base. They ran around every day, cleaning up zombies. It is not wrong to say that their clothes were sometimes the same as beggars' clothes, but in that case, how could this photo be protected so well...
Qi Yuanyuan turned the photo over and looked at the altered "Meng love Xiao" on the back. Although the word "Xiao" was in a familiar handwriting, it was not written in a strong and vigorous manner, and the handwriting was even a little light, as if the person who wrote this word lacked confidence.
For a moment, Qi Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing out loud with some irony. She seemed to see through the man through these somewhat unfounded words, and all the little thoughts hidden beneath the surface of that man.
She even suddenly had a very strange feeling. That man must have been very jealous of her. After all, seeing how carefully he treasured the photo, he must have liked it very much. It is even possible that he has liked it since college until now.
But what does it matter? Before the end of the world, she was Ling Mengchen's legitimate girlfriend, and this man could only secretly watch her and Ling Mengchen together in some unknown corner. Even in the end of the world, all he could do was pick up the photos she threw away and carefully treasure them.
What a humble person!
But it is such a person, such a humble person, who she has admired and liked so much over the years!
Qi Yuanyuan suddenly realized that she had been a joke all these years. It turned out that the person she liked and admired so much all these years only treated her as a love rival. It was possible that her subtle or explicit flattery and temptation to him all these years seemed like a joke in his eyes!
"Miss Qi...Miss Qi?"
The cautious voice beside her finally reached her ears, and Qi Yuanyuan came back to her senses. She glanced at the thin woman next to her and said, "Hurry up and pack it up. I'll tell you how to put it away. If Master Xiao Yi doesn't find out about this, I won't tell Master Xiao Yi."
When the woman who made the mistake heard Qi Yuanyuan's words, she couldn't help but look at Qi Yuanyuan with gratitude.
And Qi Yuanyuan didn't pay any more attention to the woman after that. Relying on her familiarity with the study, she quickly instructed the woman, and soon put the fallen things back in more or less the same order. After all, when it comes to familiarity with this place, she is number one and no one can be second. Even if Xiao Yi never lets her touch this cabinet, she has no problem restoring it roughly based on the image. Besides, she didn't want to hide it from the public, she just wanted Xiao Yi not to be able to see that the bookcase was moved by someone else for the time being.
After finishing the study, Qi Yuanyuan held her anger and went back downstairs to wait for Xiao Yi to come back.
This time she didn't have to wait long, Xiao Yi came back soon. As soon as she saw the man come in, she stared at him closely, with a hint of coldness on her face, which was rare in front of Xiao Yi.
However, Qi Yuanyuan had a cold face, and Xiao Yi's face was even colder. He didn't even pay too much attention to Qi Yuanyuan's expression. After entering the door, he took off his coat, glanced at the new woman who was responsible for cleaning the stairs, and said to Qi Yuanyuan: "Follow me."
Qi Yuanyuan pursed her lips and followed without saying a word.
After walking into a room and locking the door, Xiao Yi looked at Qi Yuanyuan and asked the question he was most concerned about, "How was the progress today? Did you talk to Ling Mengchen?"
Hearing Xiao Yi asking this question again, Qi Yuanyuan sneered in her heart and said in a hard tone, "No."
Xiao Yi didn't care about Qi Yuanyuan's tone, he only paid attention to the result of her answer. When he heard that there was no progress again, his handsome eyebrows frowned tightly. He paced around the room impatiently for two circles, and then returned to Qi Yuanyuan, his face was ugly and questioning, "How do you do things? Why haven't you made any progress in such a long time? Didn't you listen to me? I asked you to do your best to do this, do your best! No matter what method you use, sneaking in or seducing with other methods, you must achieve your goal for me. There has been no progress for such a long time. Do you take my threat as a lie? Do you want me to send you to the slums of the base now?!"
Xiao Yi's words were harsh and showed no mercy.
Qi Yuanyuan's face turned pale and looked extremely ugly. She didn't know what she was thinking. The hands hanging by her side moved, and then she lowered her head again.
After Xiao Yi vented his anger at Qi Yuanyuan, he took a deep breath and calmed down a bit. He looked at Qi Yuanyuan and said again: "Three days, I will give you three days. I don't want you to give me the same answer after three days. No matter what, you have to give me new progress in these three days, otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."
When saying this, Xiao Yi did not suppress his aura as a psychic, but instead exerted it all on Qi Yuanyuan. The direct consequence was that Qi Yuanyuan stood somewhat shaky.
Seeing that the purpose of deterrence was achieved, Xiao Yi did not stay here for long, but pushed open the door and went out directly.
After Xiao Yi left, Qi Yuanyuan could no longer bear the pain with her hands hanging by her side, and clenched them into fists with such force that she couldn't even help but tremble.
Finally, Qi Yuanyuan, who had been standing with her head down, raised her head. She looked in the direction where Xiao Yi left, her eyes filled with blazing flames, flames with a hint of hatred.
If Qi Yuanyuan still felt a little absurd, a little ridiculous, a little angry, and even wanted to question Xiao Yi when she first learned the truth, then after hearing Xiao Yi's completely merciless words, she also dispelled all her fantasies. Now she only had hatred for Xiao Yi in her heart, hatred that grew from love.
A strong urge suddenly rose in her heart. She wanted to take revenge on Xiao Yi! She wanted to take revenge on Xiao Yi for treating her like this!
But with her power as an ordinary person, how can she take revenge on a powerful person with super powers
Qi Yuanyuan thought for a while, and finally, a twisted smile appeared on her face.
You want me to seduce Ling Mengchen, right
Okay, from today on, I will try to seduce you seriously.
She once had a good hand, but she ended up wasting it.
But now, now that she knows what Xiao Yi really cares about, she will personally take the deck of cards in her hand again.
However, once she got the cards in her hand, she would definitely not do what Xiao Yi wanted.
The author has something to say: Qi Yuanyuan is still as confident as ever today o(n_n)o~
