Chapter 79: Chapter Seventy-Nine: Jealousy
“This child, now when she sees those zombies outside, she’s completely unafraid. I really don’t know how she’s so brave,” Lin Tianhui said with a laugh. Although her words carried a hint of reproach, her tone was filled with praise.
Liao Yifan chatted with Lin Tianhui for a few more sentences. She really liked this elder, but noticing that Lin Tianhui seed a bit tired after using her healing ability, she said, “Auntie, thank you. Let help you rest for a while!”
“No need, no need, I’ll just lie down in our room,” Lin Tianhui declined. She really wanted to take this opportunity to go back to her room and rest in the space, knowing that one hour of rest in the space was re minutes outside.
Liao Yifan didn’t insist any further but dragged Mao Qiqi away to talk on the side.
Lu Hao was sowhat surprised when he learned that Guo Yang had awakened a Space Elent Ability, whereas Su Jin thought it was actually good. She had planned to reveal her own space ability when it couldn’t be kept secret in the group anymore. In the apocalypse, although Dual-Elent Ability Users were rare, there were still a few. Even if she said she was a Wood Elent and Space Elent Ability User, it wouldn’t be too suspicious.
Now that Guo Yang also had a Space Elent Ability, it wouldn’t seem quite as mysterious to everyone else.
Guo Yang, however, was quite shocked. He hadn’t expected his little sister to also have a Space Elent Ability and to be a Dual-Elent User of wood and space at that. Lucky for him, he hadn’t acted too smug earlier.
Since Su Jin’s grandparents no longer had to sleep outside, the family decided to vacate the two of them from their room. The grandparents’ room was large and even connected to a small living room, so the family turned these two rooms into a suite for Guo Yang, Xue Wanyi, Yin Chengtian, and Shi Jin to live in.
Su Jin then cleared out the original storeroom, taking out a bed from her space that she had kept from when she last moved, and placed it in there.
Liao Yifan didn’t know what to say, never expecting Captain Lu’s wife to be so nice—she even specially fetched a set of pink bedding, a bedside table, decorations, and more. Suddenly, the storeroom transford into a girly bedroom.
Looking at Liao Yifan chattering non-stop with Su Jin, the n were sowhat incredulous. Liao Yifan had never had any female friends around her, but these two seed to hit it off imdiately.
…
That evening, Lu Hao held Su Jin’s slim waist and asked a question that had been pent up for a long ti.
“You know Lian Jiyue.”
His tone wasn’t questioning, but affirmative. Su Jin couldn’t help but worry about her future days; this man was too smart. How would she keep her little secrets in the future?
“I do, but that was in a past life,” Su Jin began to tell Lu Hao about her connection with Lian Jiyue.
It turned out she had t Lian Jiyue on a mission. At that ti, Lian Jiyue was in a pitiful state, seeming to have suffered a significant injury, not just physically. It took almost a month after eting him for Su Jin to learn that he could talk, with no idea what had struck him to end up in that way.
The team’s captain, seeing his valuable ability but serious injury, left him in Su Jin’s care. Eventually, he naturally beca a mber of their group, but he only listened to Su Jin. The team thought he was simple-minded, only Su Jin knew he wasn’t—he was just excessively obstinate or perhaps disdainful of listening to them?
Su Jin always felt that she didn’t quite understand Lian Jiyue, but six months later, it was he who helped Su Jin find Lu Hao. Only then did she discover that Lian Jiyue was originally the leader of Lu Hao’s base. However, she died before she had the chance to thank him for bringing them together.
As Su Jin talked until the end, she still felt a bit lancholic. The regrets of her past life would probably remain regrets forever.
Yet unexpectedly, she had encountered him again here today.
Feeling Lu Hao tightening his hold on her, Su Jin turned her head in confusion to look at him. Because it was dark, she could only discern his silhouette through the moonlight.
“What’s wrong?” Wasn’t he the one who wanted to hear the story? Why did it seem like he was getting angry again?
Lu Hao seed to realize he was holding Su Jin too tightly and relaxed his hold, but his arms remained firmly wrapped around her.
Today, when Lian Jiyue looked at Su Jin, there was a mont when Lu Hao thought he recognized her, and now hearing what Su Jin had said, his worries intensified.
“If you see him again, you don’t have to talk to him,” he said.
“Why?” Su Jin asked in surprise.
“He’s the leader of that base, yet it took him half a year to tell you where I was.”
“Maybe he didn’t recognize you at first,” Su Jin said and imdiately regretted her words. How could the two of them not know each other? She had only discovered today that they had always known each other!
“But why.” At the beginning of their conversations, she had told Lian Jiyue that she was looking for her newly-wedded husband but had never found him.
“So, he has thoughts about you,” Lu Hao stated confidently.
“Thoughts? What kind of thoughts could he have about ?” Su Jin was even more puzzled; she hadn’t offended Lian Jiyue back then.
But Lu Hao had already gently cupped her face, ceaselessly kissing her eyes, nose, chin, lips…
Su Jin, soon unable to think, didn’t realize until the next morning:
Could it be that Lu Hao,
was jealous?
