Chapter 261: Lin Qing’s Suspicions
Yun Huan cleaned away the blood on Qin Yi’s hands. Chen Che looked at the pair of delicate and slender hands that were prettier than a girl’s and recalled the same fist that smashed the zombies to death. His lips started to twitch.
Qin Yi’s gaze swept onto the unresigned and unwilling Chuchu, her eyes profound. Her clean face emitted an indifferent suaveness.
“Are you happier?” Yun Huan caressed Qin Yi’s head with a gentle look in his eyes.
“I’m alright.” Qin Yi’s phoenix eyes burned. Heh, she was not going to stop at this. Chuchu wanted her dead. How could she let this go?
Yun Huan smiled and shook his head as his heart softened at Qin Yi’s childish temperament. After all, she had yet to turn 20. But this youth was extremely intelligent. She was clearly just trying to make things difficult for Chuchu, and her righteous words made it so that no one could pick on it.
Who knew what correlation there was between the crystal cores and the recovery of the little furball? But it was what the little brat had casually mentioned.
Chuchu quietly walked over to Lin Qing and whispered, “Fox, does little brother Yiyi dislike me? And isn’t little brother Yiyi slightly wrong in this matter? Let’s not talk about me. But you guys killed zombies as well. Why are you guys digging the crystal cores and not him? This is too unfair.”
Lin Qing looked at Chuchu strangely and it made her feel uncomfortable. She was about to say something when Lin Qing suddenly turned cold. No, he was still smiling, but Chuchu sensed that Lin Qing was suddenly cold to her.
“Chuchu, what’re you talking about, what fairness is there in this world? Isn’t our job the clearest example of it? Alright, don’t overthink it. Quickly dig up the crystal cores.”
With that said, Lin Qing turned around, and his face suddenly turned cold. He did not notice it back in the meeting room but finally realized that Chuchu was constantly against Qin Yi. But the question was why? Could it be that the two had some conflict before?
As to digging the crystal cores, Lin Qing did not feel that it was unfair. The majority of the zombies were handled by Qin Yi and she always split the crystal cores equally after. And Qin Yi was the youngest. All of them were at least five to six years older than her and naturally loved her as older brothers.
Furthermore, Qin Yi possessed the same level of mysophobia as Yun Huan, so they, as elder brothers, could help in place of her.
It could be said that Qin Yi really treated them as brothers while they never trusted her, especially on the matter of Chuchu. He even recalled Qin Yi’s ice-cold phoenix eyes that seemed to have reverted back to when they first met Qin Yi.
He knew that Qin Yi was truly hurt.
He felt that meeting Chuchu again was a different feeling for him. If not for the same appearance and the little red birthmark on her ear, he would even think that this Chuchu was a fake.
Seeing that Lin Qing was ignoring her, Chuchu felt anger and pain. What did he consume for him to treat her, someone who had over a decade worth of feelings, as an outsider?
They worked extremely fast and dug out all the crystal cores in less than 10 minutes. Qin Yi congealed water for them to wash their hands before taking out apples to hand out to them.
The battle with the zombies had exhausted them and Qin Yi wanted to supplement their bodies in the event that more people came.
The apples from the Origin space were extremely sweet and tasty, emitting a sweet fragrance that caused Chuchu’s eyes to tremble. For someone who had not eaten a fresh apple for so long, much less Chuchu, even Qin Hanyu and Chen Che were stunned, but their self-cultivation prevented them from losing their self-control.
