There were still people who wanted to object, but Qin Yi’s gaze swept across each one of them and these people shut their mouths.
Qin Yi couldn’t blame the people here for being afraid that Qiu Chuxue might become a monster and wanting to chase her out.
If it were her, she might have acted like that too.
But this girl… Qin Yi couldn’t help but look at Qiu Chuxue’s flushed little face.
At one glance, Qin Yi realized Qiu Chuxue looked very delicate and pretty. She gave off a comfortable feeling.
This girl was too much like her in the previous life, just as dumb and having a death wish. Qin Yi’s heart softened, and she decided to get her out of this predicament.
But this was the first time and also the last. What happened after today would depend on Qiu Chuxue herself.
Qin Yi took the medicine and gave it to Qiu Chuxue.
Sure enough, Qiu Chuxue’s fever went away in the middle of the night and she woke up. She licked her chapped and dry lips, looked earnestly at Qin Yi, and said with a hoarse voice, “Qin Yi, thank you.”
Indeed, although she had been unconscious, she could still hear their conversations.
She didn’t expect that the person who saved her, in the end, would actually be Qin Yi, who looked cold and heartless.
Nobody knew how much despair she felt when she heard them, especially when Zhou Yu wanted to throw her out. She always thought that Zhou Yu merely had a bad temper but was still sincere towards her. However, today…
Qiu Chuxue glanced at Zhou Yu, who was sleeping soundly, and her gaze turned cold.
Qin Yi didn’t open her eyes and seemed to be sleeping. Nobody saw the tiny crack below her long eyelashes.
Qiu Chuxue didn’t speak another word. She closed her eyes and the scenes of her past played in her mind as the corners of her lips curved into a mocking smile.
It was unclear whether it was ridicule or if she was laughing at herself.
The next day, Zhou Yu was stunned when she saw that Qiu Chuxue had recovered. She hugged Qiu Chuxue. “Ah Xue, you scared me to death. Thank god you’re fine.”
Qiu Chuxue’s gaze was cold, but she still patted Zhou Yu’s back lightly and said gently, “Don’t worry, I am fine.”
Qiu Chuxue was really fine. Not only that, she even felt that she was full of energy. Her sight and hearing had become much more sensitive, and she felt warm all over. With that thought, a flame appeared on the tip of Qiu Chuxue’s finger all of a sudden.
Qiu Chuxue got a shock and so did Zhou Yu.
Only Qin Yi knew what was going on. This Qiu Chuxue was a later generation elite indeed. What had awakened was actually the fire ability, which has the second strongest attack power.
Qin Yi said indifferently, “Congratulations.”
Qiu Chuxue returned to her senses, and her face flushed. She had watched movies like Resident Evil and knew that this was a so-called ability user, but she didn’t expect that she would actually become one herself.
This meant that she had one more means to stay alive.
Zhou Yu was surprised too. She didn’t know what this was, but she knew that Qiu Chuxue was formidable, which meant that she would be very safe too.
However, there was jealousy flashing in Zhou Yu’s eyes. Why didn’t this sort of good thing happen to her? Why did it have to go to Qiu Chuxue?
Qiu Chuxue’s eyes sparkled and she smiled. “En, thank you.”
Qin Yi packed her things and held the big knife in her hand as she bid Qiu Chuxue farewell. “I have to go, let’s part ways now.”
Zhou Yu was taken aback when she heard this. “You’re not bringing us along anymore?”
Qin Yi’s lips opened slightly; her rosy lips had a beautiful arch and were obviously very suitable for kissing. But at this moment, she spat out words that shattered Zhou Yu’s heart.
“Since when did I say that I want to be with you guys? Now that you have found a friend, isn’t it great?”
