The Zhou Xingxing in the movie smiled, and Xu Qian followed suit. He was her favorite movie star from childhood, often watched with her father, making it a nostalgic memory.
Mei Yuebai narrowed his eyes, fixated on her smiling face. She was very young, with a childlike appearance up close. Her skin was fair and delicate enough to reveal fine hairs. Her beautiful eyes curved into crescents when she smiled, though her outward demeanor was cool and aloof, seemingly unattainable.
Fiercer than his grandfather when angry.
He tilted his head and gently nibbled her rosy cheek.
Xu Qian immediately shot him a glare.
Her expression clearly conveyed, "Do you want to die?"
Mei Yuebai shook his head and buried himself in her neck, falling asleep.
Ye Yunzhou witnessed this scene, his gaze darkening slightly. He lowered his eyelids.
"That's hilarious, hahahahahaha." Gu Qing laughed so hard tears welled up.
The movie passed by quickly.
Xu Qian unconsciously glanced at her watch. 8 o'clock.
"Let's get some good sleep. After we wake up, we'll go to the mission center to research tasks."
"Okay."
Ye Yunzhou responded reflexively.
Xu Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "Doctor Ye, you're not part of our team. You can go about your own activities."
Ye Yunzhou lowered his eyes and smiled, "It's a habit. I've joined the Whirlwind team. They also live on the 12th floor. I heard they house ability users together, so I was assigned here."
Xu Qian smiled without comment. There was indeed such a regulation. The ordinary 30-story building had floors 1-7 reserved for the elderly and children. While the upper floors were randomly assigned, ability users and normal people were housed separately, not in the same rooms.
Gu Qing blinked his large eyes and asked, "Sister Qian, do you want to fill the tub for a bath?"
"No need, I have enough water."
Her purpose in collecting supplies was to avoid the worry of food and water that plagued her previous life, and to not have to rely on others.
She patted Mei Yuebai's face. "Go back to the room to sleep."
"Mmm~"
He rubbed his face against her neck, reluctant to get up.
"Are you getting up?"
"Don't want to." His voice was low and lingering, the tail end of his words intentionally rising, showcasing his playful coaxing to the extreme.
Gu Qing was speechless. Was this the school bully?
Xu Qian was not swayed by his antics. She reached out and tickled the soft flesh of his waist.
He leaped up from the sofa as if he had been electrocuted and pointed at her nose, scolding, "You cheated."
She shrugged and returned to her room.
Previously.
Upon arriving at the base, her biological clock automatically adjusted, and she woke up precisely at six.
She rubbed her temples. This was truly a seven-year-old biological clock.
Missions began to be released at seven. Each mission had a limited quantity, so everyone wanted to grab the best and newest tasks quickly; otherwise, the good ones would be gone.
After eating bread, they hadn't woken up yet. Xu Qian decided to go down and scout ahead.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a sweet-looking girl holding a bowl coming out of room 1202 next door.
Hua Ying's face lit up upon seeing Xu Qian, her eyes full of excitement. She rushed to Xu Qian and handed her the washed bowl. "You're that beautiful lady from yesterday, right? My name is Hua Ying. The food was too delicious, thank you."
"Xu Qian. No need for thanks, it's just an exchange of goods." Xu Qian didn't reach out. With a thought, the bowl was absorbed into her spatial storage.
Hua Ying was stunned.
She looked at her empty hands and said with a trembling voice, "Xu Qian, you have space abilities?"
"Yes."
Her eyebrows twitched. She raised her arms, devoid of any muscle, "That's great! Do you have a team? How about joining me? I don't have a team yet. I have strength abilities, I'm very strong!"
It was not convincing at all.
Xu Qian curved her lips into a smile. "I already have a team, I'm sorry."
That smile was like a melting iceberg, like spring flowers blooming.
Hua Ying was mesmerized. How could there be such a beautiful girl?
