Chapter 465 - Interaction
"BOSS!!! I am also a level three!" Jenny exclaid after a big wave suddenly swept all the zombies outside the mall, including the others had they not reacted fast and imdiately grabbed onto the vine that Rei tied to a railing, preventing them from being swept by the water.
Xi Kai didn't have any expression but his eyes brightened. "Good!" he said and nodded at her.
Jenny giggled and imdiately helped the others from being swept away by the water. Rei, Lan and Chichi, although didn't beco level three, but it was obvious that they beca stronger. Qi Ying, too. He could already make a wall of water now and Yi Bing would turn it into ice before they would crush the zombies with the wall that they made.
Speaking of Qi Ying… Jenny turned and looked at Xi Kai standing near Qi Ying. Yesterday, Xi Kai requested to have a water ability user beside him. She could've stayed, since she is a water ability user, and even a healer, but Xi Kai nad Qi Ying, who is also a water ability user. If this was before, she would think that Xi Kai is bullying Qi Ying. But…
She looked at Yi Bing and Huo Ling who were present yesterday. Xi Kai felt weak as the aftereffect of breaking through another level, and he must have forgotten that she is a water ability user, and even a healer so she could definitely help him. But, was that really it? And Yi Bing and Huo Ling could've reminded Xi Kai about this fact. Although Xi Ke and Lu Lu don't know that she is also a healer, but they have seen that she is a water ability user, and Xi Kai wanted a water ability user beside him yesterday.
Let's say that Xi Ke and Lu Lu have forgotten the fact that she was qualified because they were worried about their son's condition and this fact must have flown out of their minds, but Yi Bing and Huo
Ling should know and could've reminded Xi Kai about it yesterday, yet they didn't. So… they must also have noticed, right? That Xi Kai, towards Qi Ying…
Yi Bing and Huo Ling indeed have noticed that Xi Kai suddenly beca attentive towards Qi Ying. This started after they found out about what happened to Qi Ying's relative in the Capital. Although there isn't anything strange towards this, since Xi Kai's attentiveness towards Qi Ying could be considered of that attentiveness of an elder brother towards his younger brother. They also guessed that Xi Kai felt sympathy towards Qi Ying, thus he is now looking after Qi Ying.
But…
"Watch out!" they heard Xi Kai called out and imdiately pulled Qi Ying towards him before he threw a fireball towards that zombie that suddenly appeared beside Qi Ying.
The zombie was imdiately burnt to ashes, unlike when Xi Kai was still at level two and could only burn the part where the zombie was hit.
"Are you alright? Were you scratched?" Xi Kai asked as he turned to face Qi Ying towards him and checked Qi Ying's arms and shirt. "Good. You are fine." He said and sighed in relief before he turned to resu killing the zombies, leaving the dumbfounded Qi Ying who was surprised by his actions.
But, Qi Ying imdiately returned to his senses after he heard the zombies growling and shot the zombies with water balls, making their rotten limbs fall off of their bodies.
Jenny, Yi Bing and Huo Ling who was secretly watching them in the second floor. "…" there seed to be nothing wrong, but why do they feel is still seed strange?
They imdiately resud killing zombies before Yi Bing and Huo Ling took only so of the goods in the grocery. They still have to leave the other survivors so foods, and they will also still pass by so other groceries on their way back to the north.
…
"Oh? Our level?" Yi Bing looked at the others while they were eating their lunch. "We are level three." He answered.
Everyone, including Huo Ling. "…" seriously? They thought as they stared at Yi Bing.
"Really?" Lan, who was always indifferent, can't help but ask because she still felt surprised.
Yi Bing nodded. anwhile, Huo Ling. "…" what the hell is this man… ehem, grim reaper planning again? He thought and decided to just focus on eating the canned sausages.
"He's not lying." Chichi, the psychic ability user, spoke.
Silence fell.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Xi Kai finally spoke.
"It is unnecessary." Yi Bing answered.
Everyone. "…" what the hell… can you be any more reliable in this aspect? Can't you look happy? They thought.
Huo Ling decided to play dumb and ignored them while enjoying the canned sausages. So good! He thought as he ate more.
"But, we didn't see…" Rei can't help but mutter.
Yi Bing cut her off, and his words made them all feel more complicated. "We leveled up back in the Capital." He answered.
Everyone fell silent. "…" damn it. Does it feel good to play cool? They thought. Suddenly, they recalled that the ti that they didn't see Yi Bing and Huo Ling when they were in the Capital was when the two saved Qi Ying's relatives.
Thinking this, Xi Kai turned to look at Qi Ying who is sitting beside him and is silently eating a can of corned beef. His expression can't help but soften and he raised his hand to pat Qi Ying's head.
"Hm?" Qi Ying turned to look at him.
anwhile, Jenny and the others. "…" boss really seed to be changing… they all thought.
Xi Ke and Lu Lu, after eating, has already fallen asleep since they are already old and needs more rest. Since Xi Kai has now recovered his strength, Yi Bing and Huo Ling returned to the second car while Chichi, Lan and Rei returned to the first car.
Qi Ying saw the arrangent and was about to move to the second car and follow Yi Bing and Huo Ling when Jenny suddenly stopped him. "Go to the first car." She told him.
Qi Ying still feels afraid towards Jenny, but at least their forr relationship turned better. "Huh?" he muttered, surprised.
Xi Kai who heard her was also surprised, but Chichi, Lan and Rei suddenly looked at each other and aningfully smiled.
"The old boss and the madam looked tired. I can heal them." Jenny explained. She didn't give Qi Ying any ti to react and pushed him towards Xi Kai before she marched towards the second car and went inside, then closed the door of the backseat.
"Ah!" Qi Ying exclaid and his eyes widened when he tripped. He was about to fall when Xi Kai caught him.
"Are you okay? Sorry about that. She suddenly beca ill-tempered." Xi Kai told Qi Ying.
'ill-tempered'? Chichi, Lan and Rei rolled their eyes and entered the backseat of the first car.
"It's okay. Sister Jenny is actually kind." Qi Ying spoke and smiled. Then, he saw that Xi Kai was still holding his arm and he imdiately pulled it back before he took a step back, away from Xi Kai. "S-sorry. And thank you for helping ." He told him.
Xi Kai saw Qi Ying's actions and his eyes imdiately lost their warmth. "En." He nodded. "Let's go back to the car." He told him and then left.
Qi Ying followed behind him, feeling bewildered. Did I do sothing wrong again? He thought and sighed as he sat on the front seat. Although his relationship with Xi Kai beca better, but he still can't help but feel scared towards him. He can actually see that Xi Kai seed to care about him after they left the Capital, but he still feels guilty towards what he did to Xi Kai before.
Although he isn't avoiding him or hiding from him anymore, but he still can't remove the guilt in his heart.
In the second car, Jenny glanced at Yi Bing and Huo Ling at the front while checking Xi Ke's and Lu Lu's bodies with her healing ability. Was it because there is a homosexual couple in the team, that is why boss was influenced? She thought, then shook her head. No. Xi Kai isn't soone who is easily influenced. Or else, he would have already beco a womanizer back in the base in the north. So, the reason that Xi Kai turned from being pansexual to a homosexual is because of Qi Ying?
She already believed that her boss is a homosexual. The emotions in Xi Kai's eyes earlier didn't escape their eyes. Although it seems that Xi Kai still isn't aware yet of his feelings, but they believe that he is almost getting there, because they saw that his eyes dimd earlier after Qi Ying distanced himself from him. It wouldn't take a long ti before Xi Kai admits his feelings, and then confess to Qi Ying!
