Newly Girlfriend (Chapter 152)
Even though it wasn’t explicitly stated, seeing Ye Sheng grinning foolishly made it clear she hadn’t taken it to heart.
Consideration? That didn’t exist.
Gu Luoyu couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. For once, she had a pang of conscience, but Ye Sheng didn’t care at all.
The poor little fool was truly unlucky to have met her.
Because even if Ye Sheng considered it and refused, Gu Luoyu would never accept it.
It was good that she had a moment of clarity, but it was useless. She would still be locked by Gu Luoyu’s side.
Thus, that pang of conscience was merely a polite gesture. Her softness lasted only a moment before she quickly hardened again, showing no mercy… For someone who had already decided to keep her firmly by her side, invasion, possession, and bondage were the natural psychological shifts.
So, Gu Luoyu was quite satisfied with Ye Sheng’s reaction, which made her very happy.
Such an obedient Ye Sheng meant there was no need for extreme measures. They could maintain their beautiful current state rather than shatter the harmony and face the dark, helpless reality.
It was despair-inducing.
A flurry of thoughts quickly passed through Gu Luoyu’s mind. Her red eyes blinked slightly, her long lashes fluttering to conceal the cold indifference within.
Her lips curled imperceptibly before falling again.
No one noticed.
Unaware that she had narrowly escaped a disaster, Ye Sheng remained immersed in the freshly established “relationship.” Her naturally optimistic nature meant she didn’t overthink things; she was simply thrilled to have gotten her wish.
Heaven knew she had prepared for a long battle, after all, becoming stronger wasn’t something that could be achieved by mere words.
It required time and effort to accomplish step by step.
Although Gu Luoyu had stayed by her side ever since recovering from her severe injuries, the vast difference in their strength meant they operated on entirely different levels…
Especially since Gu Luoyu was an Esper. Even if she hadn’t returned to her original position, she wouldn’t remain idle forever.
If nothing else, the fact that the contaminated creatures were growing stronger year by year and posing a threat to the base was something even Gu Luoyu herself knew. How could the base be unaware?
If they truly didn’t know, they wouldn’t be pushing so hard for the development of conversion serums, preparing in advance.
So that when the time came, they would have a group of capable individuals to deploy.
From this, it was clear that the situation was already quite serious. If it truly reached a critical point, the base would undoubtedly summon the most powerful psychics to fend off the contaminated creatures.
Therefore, Ye Sheng had already guessed that the two of them would eventually part ways…
So, while she appeared cheerful and optimistic on the surface, deep down, she was panicking.
But she didn’t want to confess out of fear of separation. Perhaps it was because Ye Sheng was still young, naive, and romantic. She pursued a pure, singular love, untainted by other thoughts.
She liked Gu Luoyu simply because she liked her, not because she was a psychic.
However, even though Ye Sheng had a cheat ability, giving her a shortcut compared to others, it still required time to develop… What she feared was that something might go wrong during that time!
So, now that she had the chance to confess, Ye Sheng was overjoyed!
Of course, a smart person would seize the opportunity presented to them~
Especially since Gu Luoyu hadn’t outright rejected her, Ye Sheng’s excitement was indescribable. She felt like running a hundred laps outside to vent just a little bit of it!
(^▽^)
Seeing Ye Sheng’s unabashed joy, Gu Luoyu, who had already returned to the driver’s seat, leaned back in a relaxed posture. A few strands of her pale pink hair fell in front of her, accentuating her fair skin and beauty.
She turned her head slightly, her expression one of amusement.
“So happy? It seems you really like me!”
Beautiful people could make any action pleasing to the eye, and Ye Sheng, being a sucker for good looks, was instantly mesmerized. Thinking that they were now in a relationship, she figured it wouldn’t be a problem to hold hands!
As for the question about how much she liked her, Ye Sheng chose to pretend she didn’t hear it.
She was shy!
Better to distract herself by holding hands instead!
Before they were officially together, doing this would’ve been shameless, but now it was mutual affection!!!
⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄
Thinking this, Ye Sheng gave Gu Luoyu a sweet smile, her black eyes sparkling.
Her left hand moved first, easily grabbing Gu Luoyu’s. Holding the obviously larger hand, Ye Sheng curiously compared them.
The result…
Let’s not talk about it.
In the end, she could only comfort herself by thinking she was petite and cute, but she still felt a bit dissatisfied. When she secretly intertwined her fingers with Gu Luoyu’s, her mood finally lifted~
Hehehe!!!
Being the official girlfriend was awesome!
Today, she was going to stick close to her~
Stick to her heart’s content!
…While Ye Sheng was overjoyed by the rapid progress in their relationship, Mo Lin, who had been summoned, stood dumbfounded in front of the other four team leaders. His short stature didn’t invite any disdain.
On the contrary, these well-known team leaders were extremely friendly toward him, to the point where it was almost frightening.
After all, Mo Lin’s main job was being an information broker, so he knew a lot about various factions. With his extensive knowledge, he was well aware that the team leaders standing before him weren’t known for their good tempers.
They had money, power, and people… Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to form their teams so quickly. Unlike Mo Lin’s ragtag group, these teams had capable members.
Any one of them could take on significant responsibilities.
Meanwhile, Mo Lin’s team was made up of the elderly, weak, women, and children…
So, before coming over, Mo Lin had mentally prepared himself. Even if he was mocked or targeted, it wouldn’t matter… He was just trying to make a living. A bit of humiliation was normal, as long as he didn’t suffer any real losses.
However, the reality was the opposite, leaving Mo Lin completely baffled.
But after giving it some thought, Mo Lin guessed the reason.
Although his team was full of weaklings, they had an Esper . One Esper could easily outmatch a hundred ordinary people. At least none of these other teams had an Esper.
Hehe.
Thinking this, Mo Lin immediately perked up. Not only was he not humiliated, but he was also feeling quite smug.
The reason for gathering the five team leaders was indeed to discuss something important. Yao Nana, the leader of the Blazing Fire team, frowned, her voice tinged with concern: “For this mission to transport supplies, besides our five teams, there will also be three espers accompanying us. While they can help defend against attacks from polluted creatures in the wilderness, there’s also an element of unpredictability.”
As for this unpredictability, even without saying it, everyone present understood.
Many Espers had gone mad and committed suicide, so there were often unfortunate casualties caused by them.
Who knew if these three espers were good or bad?
And they would be working together on this mission, leaving no room to avoid them.
After Yao Nana mentioned the espers, everyone turned to look at Mo Lin, wanting to hear his thoughts… Of course, the key question was whether the esper in his team was stable and if they could communicate well to ensure the safety of the five teams.
