Adding Loneliness (Chapter 132)
The dream was within reach.
Unfortunately, Ye Sheng chickened out, like a little mouse seeing a cat, and with a quick "I think I'm particular about beds," she dashed away...
Of course, Ye Sheng absolutely refused to admit she was scared; there was another reason.
The main reason was that when she looked up and saw Gu Luoyu's exceptionally beautiful eyes, so intently focused on her, it felt as if a faint red light was emanating from them, slowly and persistently drifting toward her, determined to envelop her completely.
It was like a special chain, wrapping around her entire body, making it impossible for her to break free easily, losing her freedom.
At that moment, the alarm bells rang.
It made Ye Sheng extremely alert, and she didn't even think about getting close to Gu Luoyu anymore. Her only thought was to escape as quickly as possible!
There would be plenty of opportunities in the future. She suddenly didn't want things to progress so fast... It definitely wasn't because she was timid, but because she was a slow burner!!!
o(´^｀)o
Fortunately, Gu Luoyu didn't stop Ye Sheng from running away. After being freed from the embrace, she casually sat on the bed, her hands supporting her body from behind, her pink hair swaying gently.
Her lazy and leisurely demeanor, with a touch of nonchalance, exuded a deadly allure.
It made people want to stare at her without blinking.
Unable to look away.
As Ye Sheng pushed open the door, she hesitated, her body uncontrollably glancing back, only to see those red eyes filled with a smile.
Her soft, red lips moved slightly, silently saying something.
Just as she finished, the door closed again, hiding everything.
When Ye Sheng "floated" back to her room in a daze and collapsed onto the bed, she lay there with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling, her mind replaying the scene.
She tried hard to "translate" the lip movement.
She was extremely curious about what Gu Luoyu had said!
Every part of Gu Luoyu, even her hair, was exquisitely beautiful, so those alluring lips naturally drew Ye Sheng's attention, distracting her for a moment.
Fortunately, she only froze for two seconds before quickly recovering.
After racking her brains for a while, Ye Sheng finally remembered.
It was just one sentence, not many words, and all of them were easy to distinguish... If Ye Sheng hadn't been distracted, she would have "translated" it immediately.
(Welcome to come again next time~)
Ye Sheng: o(////▽////)o
She didn't know what to say, feeling a little shy.
Even though it was just a very ordinary sentence, Ye Sheng felt like her little thoughts had been seen through.
For example, wearing a loose shirt and knocking on the door for a hug, or her excessive interest in Gu Luoyu's bed... Even her decision to run away when things seemed off was within Gu Luoyu's expectations.
Ahhh, she hugged Gu Luoyu for the lottery, not for anything else!
After a futile internal tantrum, Ye Sheng hugged her pillow and rolled around on the bed. When she finally stopped, her originally smooth black hair was now messy, but her cute face made the disheveled look even more endearing.
At this moment, Ye Sheng's eyes drooped in frustration, and she angrily punched the pillow, muttering, "That annoying person, always teasing me. Just wait, one day I'll... ahem, I'll turn the tables, and then I'll pay you back tenfold."
As she imagined the thrilling scene of her "mischief," Ye Sheng couldn't help but giggle softly.
Luckily, she was alone in the room, or else she might have been mistaken for a lunatic.
After her self-amusement, Ye Sheng looked out the window. Because she had attended the black market auction early in the morning, even though a series of events had occurred, it wasn't completely dark yet.
She checked her super-intelligent wristwatch, which showed it was 5 PM.
There was still time.
The attribute points Ye Sheng had obtained from the surprise gift pack couldn't be tested earlier because Gu Luoyu was present. Now that she was back in her room, the space was too small to test anything properly.
As for the strength attribute point, it was only +1, so there wasn't a noticeable change.
Ye Sheng felt like she was a bit stronger.
But it also felt like nothing had changed...
That left the +9 agility attribute points to test.
Although she could wait until tomorrow, humans can't resist novelty. If Ye Sheng didn't test it out now, she probably wouldn't sleep well tonight.
It was just a matter of going downstairs to an empty place and running a lap!
With that in mind, Ye Sheng quickly changed into casual clothes, tied her hair into a high ponytail, looking fresh and neat, and eagerly left her room.
She stealthily pushed open the front door and tiptoed out.
After taking the elevator downstairs, as soon as she left the lobby, Ye Sheng looked at the community's green square and couldn't help but stretch her limbs, wanting to test her speed.
However, just as she was about to start, she suddenly noticed the surveillance cameras in the community.
She had almost forgotten about those...
Surveillance cameras were a rarity in the outer districts of the safe zone, and most communities didn't even have them. But this didn't apply to some "noble communities," which were fully equipped with all sorts of facilities, including surveillance.
They were directly connected to the super-intelligent network, monitoring the community's safety at all times.
No bad guys would be allowed in.
Seeing the surveillance cameras, Ye Sheng had no choice but to walk out of the community to find a place without cameras.
Fortunately, as soon as she left the community, the surrounding area was immediately free of surveillance.
Ye Sheng randomly chose a small alley, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then focused her mind, ready to test a 100-meter sprint.
In the next second, Ye Sheng quickly left her spot. When she finished the 100-meter sprint, she frowned and stopped, a look of confusion on her face.
Σ( ° △ °|||)
She had completed the 100-meter sprint in 9 seconds.
Compared to her usual 12 seconds in physical education class, this was already quite good, even surpassing the world record... But in this post-apocalyptic world, after the effects of toxic radiation, humans had undergone some changes, and most normal people could achieve this time.
It wasn't particularly special.
Someone like Gu Luoyu, a psychic, could probably finish a 100-meter sprint in one or two seconds...
So, where did her 9 agility points go?
Was it just for show???
Ye Sheng was so angry she wanted to curse. She didn't feel like continuing the test anymore and walked back with a sullen face, ready to go home and sleep, quietly mending her shattered self.
However, before Ye Sheng could take a few steps, when she saw the two people at the other end of the alley, her eyes widened in shock.
Her pupils trembled.
"Hi, Ye Sheng, we meet again."
The scheming man, Sen Lan, greeted her with the same gentlemanly demeanor, the smile on his face looking like the Big Bad Wolf to Ye Sheng. She hadn't expected to meet him here.
Since she had run into Sen Lan, it was certain that Chen Yuan would be with him, inseparable as always.
If she hadn't attended the black market auction, Ye Sheng might have stopped to greet them upon meeting again, but now...
Run!!!
Even though Gu Luoyu's psychic abilities had taken care of the aftermath, perhaps out of guilt, Ye Sheng didn't want to have any further contact with Sen Lan and Chen Yuan.
However, Chen Yuan's ability to manipulate shadows was quite troublesome.
Just as Ye Sheng turned to run, the shadows on the wall began to twist and distort, quickly forming a large black hand that reached out to grab Ye Sheng's waist, trying to restrain her in place.
But what should have been a surefire capture failed in the next second.
Ye Sheng didn't even turn her head; with a twist of her body, she successfully dodged!
