Chapter 268: The Evil Woman and the Few Fish in the Pond 29
After Jing Tingxu finished his speech, he returned to his residence. Jiang Zhiyu was overworked last night and was still sleeping. Jing Tingxu looked at the rising sun outside. It was already noon, and his body could not bear not eating for a whole morning. After thinking about it, he decided to wake Jiang Zhiyu up.
"What are you doing?" She had worked hard for a long time yesterday and hadn't had a good rest yet.
"I know you're tired, but your body can't stand not eating. I brought you some pumpkin porridge. Get up and have some."
Jing Tingxu opened the lid, and immediately a faint sweet smell of pumpkin came out. Jiang Zhiyu, who was still sleeping, felt a little hungry after smelling the smell.
"Okay, for the sake of this pumpkin porridge, I'll get up."
The porridge in the insulated lunch box was still warm. Jiang Zhiyu drank the porridge in small sips, and her face without makeup looked particularly cute.
Jing Tingxu watched her drink the porridge and took out a bag of crystal cores from the back. "This is the number of crystal cores I counted yesterday. There are 286 in total, including 6 fourth-level crystal cores, 64 third-level crystal cores, 96 second-level crystal cores, and 120 first-level crystal cores."
Jiang Zhiyu looked over when he heard this and saw the airtight sack filled with bulging crystal cores of various colors.
"Why are you telling me this?" There was a hint of confusion on her face.
"You discovered these things, so they should belong to you." Jing Tingxu said as if it was a matter of course, without any greed for the power contained in them.
Jiang Zhiyu thought that the task required both of them to be ninth-level psychics. Now he was at level two, while Jing Tingxu was only at level one. How long would it take for them to upgrade?
Forget it, she will go out to hunt zombies later to quickly improve her abilities, and take Jing Tingxu with her. She can't be the only one to upgrade while he stays where he is.
"Since there are so many crystal cores, we can each take half. Improving our strength is the most important thing."
Seeing Jiang Zhiyu's serious look, Jing Tingxu didn't object this time. "Okay, half and half then."
After the division, the two began to absorb the crystal core with their eyes closed. Jiang Zhiyu had reached the peak of level five and felt like he was about to break through. Jing Tingxu had just reached level five and still needed time to settle down.
When the two opened their eyes again, a golden light flashed at the same time, and they looked full of strength.
Knock knock knock, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Zhiyu glanced at Jing Tingxu. Both of them were dressed neatly and there was no suspicious sign. Jiang Zhiyu then stood up and checked the peephole on the door.
It was Chen Shu who appeared at the door. He thought that since the two of them had already come to that, and they hadn't seen each other for a whole night, and he was afraid that Jiang Zhiyu would not be able to get up in the morning, so he chose to visit her at noon. With a nervous look on his face, he waited outside the door obediently.
Jing Tingxu suddenly smiled, as if he saw through everything. He deliberately asked, "Who is it?"
Jiang Zhiyu glared at Jing Tingxu, warning him to behave himself with his eyes.
He deliberately raised his voice, and Chen Shu, who was standing outside the door, froze.
He lowered his head, frozen for a moment. Hadn't he known Jiang Zhiyu's true nature? Why did he still feel such a pang of heartache?
When he looked up again, he had adjusted his emotions, his eyes were clear, and his face still had the faint smile he had when he came.
"Hi, Chen Shu." Jiang Zhiyu opened the door with a warm smile on her face.
"Xiao Yu, I came to see you." Chen Shu's voice was very soft, and he looked at Jiang Zhiyu with gentle eyes.
"What's there to talk about between us? Please come in." Jiang Zhiyu let Chen Shu in openly. Since both of them knew of each other's existence, she didn't need to be shy about anything.
Chen Shu discovered Jing Tingxu in the house, and couldn't help but pursed his lips, and didn't talk to Jing Tingxu.
"It was you that day." Jing Tingxu crossed his arms and blurted out suddenly.
Chen Shu was shocked. As expected, he was not able to hide the secret from the base commander that day.
Although both of them understood what was going on, Chen Shu still chose to play dumb to make things less embarrassing.
He frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, and glanced at the lunch box on the table. "I don't understand what Jing Tingxu is talking about. I didn't expect you to care so much about Xiaoyu that you actually brought her food in person."
Jing Tingxu, who had been somewhat confrontational just now, suddenly softened his expression upon hearing this. "Zhiyu is already my fiancée, and as her fiancé, it's my duty to visit her more often."
"Zhiyu, are you right?" Without waiting for Chen Shu to answer, Jing Tingxu looked at Jiang Zhiyu with a sincere face.
Jiang Zhiyu was too lazy to get involved in the dispute between these men, even if it was caused by her. Upon hearing this, she didn't give him any face at all, rolled her eyes at Jing Tingxu and went back to sleep.
