Chapter 135 The Dodder of the Apocalyptic Powerhouse 21
An Shixi instinctively reached for the necklace hidden in her collar, but worried that they would discover she carried it with her, so she raised her hand and pretended to tidy her stray hairs.
Ever since she accidentally discovered that the necklace Ye Shuwan had given her contained a huge space, she had been very careful not to let anyone realize that her so-called spatial ability was actually thanks to this necklace.
Why would Ye Shuwan bring this up now? Did she discover something?
Her eyes were fixed on Ye Shuwan's face, not wanting to miss a single expression.
"That necklace was left to me by my grandmother. I gave it to you because I thought you truly cared for me, but..."
Ye Shuwan spoke with difficulty, each word deliberate, her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at An Shixi.
Hearing Ye Shuwan say that, An Shixi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't discover anything special about the necklace.
As for what happened that day, she insisted it was an accident, but who could know that she did it on purpose?
Moreover, Ye Shuwan is such a fool, so easy to fool. Thinking of this, she became even more self-righteous and interrupted her directly: "Wanwan, what do you mean by that? I believe I have treated you well."
"Have you forgotten that back in school, everyone said you were being kept by someone? I ignored the rumors and stood by you."
“At the very beginning of the apocalypse, I begged Senior He to let them take you along, otherwise you might have become a zombie long ago.”
"And on the way out of S City, wasn't I the one protecting you the whole time?"
……
Upon hearing An Shixi's "accusations," He Yan and his group's eyes instantly turned cold, looking at Ye Shuwan as if she were an ingrate.
Those malicious and hateful gazes followed her like a shadow, tormenting the original owner for nearly half a year, making her afraid to take another step, retreating into her shell and hiding behind An Shixi.
An Shixi rose to power by stepping on the original owner of the body, relying on this upright and righteous demeanor.
He gained both the original owner's gratitude and money, as well as a good reputation.
Ye Shuwan sneered inwardly, but tears slowly welled up in her eyes. She bit her lip tightly, not daring to look at the crowd.
"Shut up."
An Shixi was speaking with great pride when he was suddenly startled by Jiang Yufeng's rebuke. Remembering how Jiang Yufeng had just drawn his gun without hesitation, he quickly stopped talking.
She secretly hoped that if her words made these people think Ye Shuwan was an ungrateful person, they would stop protecting Ye Shuwan.
She secretly glanced behind Ye Shuwan and was surprised to find that the seemingly indifferent man, though still with a cold face, gently pinched Ye Shuwan's chin and uttered two words: "Let go."
These were just two very simple words, yet they inexplicably carried a sense of pity, making An Shixi grit her teeth but dare not say another word.
Ye Shuwan loosened her tightly bitten lip, leaving a bright red tooth mark on her lower lip. Her eyes were still brimming with tears, and she looked pitiful, as if she wanted to cry but couldn't.
Jiang Yufeng's eyes darkened. He gently touched the mark with his fingertips and brushed away the stray hairs from her forehead. A handkerchief appeared out of thin air in his hand, but he hesitated when he was about to wipe her face.
Fortunately, her eyes couldn't hold back so many tears, and soon the teardrops slid down like threads, which were then wiped away by the handkerchief.
Ye Shuwan's eyes trembled, a tear still clinging to the end of her long eyelashes, and she asked softly, "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
"No."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shuwan whimpered like a wronged kitten, secretly burying her head in her hands.
Jiang Yufeng sighed softly, lifted her drooping head, and kissed away the pearl that had not yet fallen: "What she said is irrelevant to me. I only listen to what Wanwan says. If Wanwan is willing to tell me, I will listen attentively."
Ye Shuwan's face flushed instantly, and she buried her head in his chest in embarrassment.
He Sihuai, who hadn't gotten off the bus yet, quietly shrank back, his eyes fixed on the tablet, as if trying to find something interesting in it.
Cheng Yan, standing outside the car, was practically staring wide-eyed, frantically tugging at Shen Yanke's sleeve to show him:
Is this still Brother Yu?
Could Brother Yu have been possessed?!
Shen Yanke pulled his sleeve back and straightened it seriously. Seeing that Cheng Yan was still clinging to him, he finally couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: Stupid.
Cheng Yan glared at him fiercely: You're the stupid one.
"As for the necklace, if Wanwan wants it, we can take it back." Jiang Yufeng embraced Ye Shuwan, his cold gaze shooting towards An Shixi.
He was not a good person by nature, and the reason he was sent to the army was only because Jiang's father wanted to suppress his temper.
In this apocalyptic world, there are no more scruples.
Moreover, this woman's eyes were full of calculation; she had no genuine feelings for the person in her arms and even harbored a hidden murderous intent. Keeping her around would only bring trouble.
But before that, we need to retrieve the necklace.
An Shixi felt a sharp pain in her neck, as if something was pressing against it.
"Xi Xi!"
"Shi Xi!" An Shi Xi's teammate exclaimed.
“Please wait—” He Yan said.
An Shixi is currently the only space-type ability user in the base, and we will need her help to find supplies in the future. It would be a great pity if she were to die here.
He Yan saw Jiang Yufeng's ruthlessness and winked at An Shixi, "Shixi is willing to return the necklace, could you please let her go?"
Ye Shuwan shifted in Jiang Yufeng's arms, wanting to see what had happened, but his hand pressed down on her: "Be good."
A gentle and tender voice entered her ears from above, causing her to blush all the way down to her neck. She stopped moving and stayed obediently in his arms.
Seeing An Shixi still standing there dumbfounded, He Yan frowned and urged, "Shixi!"
An Shixi's lips were pale. The necklace was crucial to her survival in the apocalypse; she absolutely couldn't hand it over. "I... I didn't bring it. Yes, I forgot it. Ouch—"
The blade at the neck went a little deeper into the flesh, seemingly severing an artery, and the bleeding accelerated.
"Shi Xi, hurry up, are you out of your mind!" He Yan urged again.
The feeling of blood loss made An Shixi's vision go black, but with a knife to her neck, she could only try to save her life first. With trembling hands, she took off the necklace and handed it into the car window.
Ye Shuwan struggled to get out of Jiang Yufeng's arms. Seeing An Shixi's miserable state, she quickly pulled Jiang Yufeng's hand, pleading, "No."
It would be too easy for her to die like that.
Jiang Yufeng glanced at the resentment and hatred in An Shixi's eyes, flicked Ye Shuwan's forehead, and finally withdrew his hand, saying helplessly, "Stupid."
Seeing Ye Shuwan softly covering her slightly red forehead and smiling, he felt both amused and tender, and reached out to rub it for her.
Oh well, he'll always be there to protect me.
The moment the knife was removed, An Shixi almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately Chen Yue, who was standing behind her, caught her in time.
Just as Ye Shuwan was about to take the necklace, An Shixi suddenly closed her hand and withdrew it.
The lurking blade vanished again at Ye Shuwan's pleading gaze. Facing the chill in the man's eyes, An Shixi forced herself to speak despite her fear, "Wanwan, you shouldn't have forgotten, right? We exchanged necklaces back then. If, if you really want to go back, can you return the necklace I gave you?"
