“Too difficult, wuwuwu,” Bai Qingqing thought. “It’s only two of them, and it’s already so hard. In the future, there’s still the old fox and the dog-like man Shen Mingxuan waiting for her to conquer. The task is arduous and long.”
“What are you guys talking about?” A magnetic male voice came.
Bai Qingqing immediately turned her head and looked at the slender figure walking in from outside. She stood up and ran towards him like a bird.
Fu Chen caught her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Yang knew that their private time together would probably be ruined today. After all, the Captain was not only crazy about doting on his little sister but also obsessed with keeping an eye on her.
He hated it.
“Xiao Yang invited me to watch a movie,” Bai Qingqing answered truthfully.
Fu Chen looked at Cheng Rui first, remembering the conversation they had last night. He saw Xiao Yang’s disappointed expression and felt a slight ripple in his heart.
“How many tickets did you buy?”
Xiao Yang lowered his head and replied, “Two.”
Fu Chen looked at everyone and said, “Does anyone else want to watch a movie? Why don’t we all go together?”
A gleam of light appeared in Bai Qingqing’s eyes. Her brother was reliable after all.
Xiao Yang gritted his teeth but remained silent. Cheng Rui had no expression on his face. It was Liang Zhiyu who smiled lightly and said, “Count me in.”
Bai Tiantian also raised her hand and said, “Captain, I want to go too.” She tugged at Shen Mingxuan’s sleeve and said, “Mingxuan, you should come too.”
Shen Mingxuan didn’t really enjoy watching movies. When he was young, he used to go to the cinema when he went on dates with girls. But later on, he mostly hung out with his friends in private, high-end venues.
Seeing Bai Tiantian’s excited look, he reluctantly said, “Okay.”
Naturally, Xiao Yang wouldn’t let go of this opportunity. He thought to himself that he must sit next to Bai Qingqing later.
Cheng Rui made a phone call to have a movie theater reserved. The group of people got into an off-road vehicle and headed towards the only large cinema in the city center.
Since they had reserved the whole theater, they didn’t need movie tickets anymore. Guided by the staff, they went directly to the movie theater and could choose which movie to watch.
The task of choosing a movie was entrusted to Bai Qingqing. She still chose the same comedy sci-fi film as before. In such a difficult post-apocalyptic world, they needed some light-hearted and funny moments to relieve their sadness.
Fu Chen held her hand and sat in the middle. Xiao Yang quickly squeezed in and sat on her right side, holding popcorn and cola with a toothy grin. “Qingqing, I got the drinks and popcorn for you.”
Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but raise her hand and rub his head, praising, “You’re always considerate.”
This remark drew the attention of several people. Cheng Rui, with his handsome and cold features, had a somewhat displeased expression. He sat silently behind her. If Xiao Yang dared to have any other thoughts, he wouldn’t hesitate to take action.
Bai Tiantian, Shen Mingxuan, Liang Zhiyu, and Cheng Rui sat in the same row. The movie started quickly, and the entire theater dimmed.
The film began with a lot of humor, and Bai Qingqing laughed uncontrollably. Xiao Yang fed her popcorn, whispering, “Qingqing, eat.”
Bai Qingqing was used to being taken care of by a puppy-like guy and ate the sweet popcorn from his hand, her eyes fixed on the screen.
Suddenly, Xiao Yang felt a hint of pain coming from behind. He turned his head and met Cheng Rui’s cold gaze, provocatively showing a smile.
Ice-cold blockhead, do you even know how to please a girl?
Fu Chen wasn’t interested in the movie. He turned his head and saw Bai Qingqing and Xiao Yang whispering and leaning close to each other, looking intimate. His eyebrows furrowed.
Xiao Yang treated her like a girlfriend, constantly feeding her and starting conversations.
Bai Qingqing’s left hand was held by someone, gripping her delicate hand tightly.
She immediately became alert and turned her head to look. Fu Chen’s exceptionally handsome face was hidden in the dim light, and his expression was unclear. The aura around him carried a faint sense of coldness.
What’s going on? Did her brother get jealous because she neglected him too much?
Bai Qingqing squinted her eyes and took the popcorn from Xiao Yang’s hand. He hurriedly said, “Qingqing, let me hold it for you.”
She whispered, “Brother wants some.”
Xiao Yang: “?”
“Does Brother Fu want to eat popcorn? He doesn’t seem like that kind of person.”
Xiao Yang had no reason to compete with Fu Chen for the popcorn. He looked at Bai Qingqing as she stuffed the popcorn into Fu Chen’s left side and leaned towards him.
Fu Chen was caught off guard by the handful of popcorn being stuffed into his arms. He held the snacks and was about to ask when he heard the girl’s voice in his ear, “Brother, hold these for me.”
The girl’s warm breath sprayed against his neck, bringing a slight tingling sensation. His nose caught a faint scent of sweet popcorn.
Suddenly, he felt a bit thirsty, his Adam’s apple rolling up and down. He glanced at the snacks she handed to him in the dim light, wondering if they were really that delicious.
Bai Qingqing’s attention returned to the movie, occasionally reaching out to grab some popcorn and eat.
Fu Chen maintained a still position, completely disinterested in the movie, focusing all his attention on her.
Bai Qingqing completely ignored Xiao Yang beside her and leaned in whenever she found something interesting in the movie to talk to Fu Chen. Her hand, hidden in the dim light, found its way into his arms.
Fu Chen’s expression slightly changed as he grabbed her hand and put it into the popcorn bucket.
In the dim environment, ambiguous situations easily arose. Only halfway through the movie, everyone’s emotions were different.
Xiao Yang looked frustrated as he occasionally glanced at Bai Qingqing talking to Fu Chen. Cheng Rui, sitting behind them, had a tense expression as he also watched her every move.
Bai Tian Tian enjoyed the movie cheerfully. Shen Mingxuan beside her fell sound asleep, and Liang Zhiyu also found it boring, playing with his phone.
Fu Chen felt a bit tortured, especially when Bai Qingqing leaned closer without any reservations. It heightened the strange feeling in his heart.
The dark side within him was like a beast breaking free from its cage, constantly colliding with his restraints, causing his handsome face to turn cold. If someone could see the look in his eyes, they would surely be frightened.
Bai Qingqing ate a popcorn herself and casually stuffed one into Fu Chen’s mouth, her slender fingers touching his icy thin lips.
Fu Chen instinctively opened his mouth and accidentally bit her delicate finger. He froze for a moment.
Bai Qingqing didn’t notice his reaction and withdrew her finger. She leaned closer to his ear and asked, “Brother, is the popcorn sweet?”
Fu Chen chewed twice and swallowed, his gaze deep, and said, “Sweet.”
“Then have some more.” Bai Qingqing fed him again, and this time Fu Chen didn’t accidentally bite her finger.
Unaware of the restlessness in the darkness, Bai Qingqing focused entirely on the movie. She sighed in her heart, thinking that it was better before the apocalypse when they could film all kinds of great movies.
Now the world was full of supernatural beings, and filming didn’t require special effects anymore. However, the themes that could be filmed were probably limited to one—superhumans battling zombies.
Scenes of zombie brains splattering everywhere were disgusting and terrifying. She didn’t like this kind of movie.
The team was enjoying the movie cheerfully, while the atmosphere in the Ye family was tense.
Ye Jiahui had taken the doctor’s medicine and should have been recovering, but in the middle of the night, she suddenly rolled in pain and called the doctor. It was discovered that she had been poisoned.
She felt itchy and painful all over her body and angrily shouted, “It’s her, it must be Bai Qingqing who poisoned me.”
The Ye family had lost their dignity at the banquet because she had attempted to frame Bai Qingqing, but it backfired on her. Now she was claiming to be poisoned.
Seeing the disappointed faces of her father and brother, Ye Jiahui cried out in pain and tears, “This time it’s true, Dad, Brother, believe me.”
She scratched herself frantically, scratching her face and neck, reopening the wounds that Fu Chen had cruelly inflicted upon her. The bloody sight was terrifying.
Ye Jianguo was deeply concerned for his daughter and asked with a stern face, “Is it true that Bai Qingqing poisoned you?”
“It must be her,” Ye Jiahui cursed with resentment. “That bitch wanted to kill me. I feel so itchy and in pain. Dad, please help me.”
The doctor, fearing that he would be blamed, quickly said, “Leader, I injected Miss with the medicine, but it didn’t work.”
“Useless! Get out!” Ye Jianguo roared in anger.
At this point, they could only go to the Cheng family and find Bai Qingqing. Otherwise, Ye Jiahui would have to endure the torture, and the consequences could be severe, even fatal.
Thinking of Fu Chen’s terrifying appearance, both Ye Jianguo and his son felt a sense of fear. They urgently ordered the army and supernatural beings to head towards the Cheng family’s villa.
“What is the leader planning to do? Are they going to attack the Cheng family?”
“Under Cheng Yan, there is a Tier 5 psychic ability user. We would be walking to our deaths if we go there.”
“Where did this powerful person come from? If he wants to become the leader, the Ye family might…”
The supernatural beings were divided into two factions, the Ye family and the Cheng family, and it was only a matter of time before their power struggle erupted into a battle for supremacy.
Cheng Yan had a good reputation in the base, and his prestige in the military was high. The seeds of discontent had already been planted among the soldiers due to the Ye family’s actions against the Cheng family last time.
The Ye family once again aggressively went to trouble the Cheng family. If they didn’t have a good reason, they would likely lose the support of the people.
Hurriedly arriving at the Cheng family’s residence, Ye Jianguo and his son looked at the empty villa and questioned the nanny, “Where did your master’s guests go?”
The nanny’s face turned pale, and she trembled as she replied, “Everyone went to the movies.”
Ye Jianguo’s face instantly turned extremely ugly. The Cheng family had gone too far. His daughter was tormented by poison, yet they were leisurely watching a movie!
He hadn’t forgotten the humiliation from yesterday, and he was determined to get revenge in the future.
The movie theater was only half an hour away from the Cheng family’s residence, so they planned to slowly walk back.
Fu Chen walked behind with Bai Qingqing, feeling some twitching in his expression. She curiously asked, “Brother, do you have something to tell me?”
After dealing with the Ye family, the team would immediately leave Yaoyang Base and head to the Jingzhou Base in the east.
He had already decided to leave her by Cheng Rui’s side.
“Qingqing,” Fu Chen hesitated for half a second and said in a low voice, “the team will leave Yaoyang Base in a few days.”
Bai Qingqing didn’t expect them to leave so soon and pondered, “Then let’s go check the supplies tomorrow and stock up before we leave.”
Fu Chen’s deep ink eyes stared at her, “You stay behind.”
Bai Qingqing felt a moment of dizziness and looked at him blankly, as if she had heard a huge joke.
“Brother, are you abandoning me?”
