Chapter 190: Truly Disobedient

Outside the gas station, the black rain continued to pour as Gao Yuan ordered his team members to grab useful objects and move them indoors.

Yun Huan stood in a dark corner, oblivious to everyone else. He remained quiet and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. His slender fingers grabbed onto the cigarette as smoke lingered around him. In the dark, the smoke shrouded his handsome face.

“Heh,” Yun Huan exhaled as his indifferent peach eyes became even colder. He continued to stare out at the black rain as the pitiful and innocent youth’s face, the one that resembled a cat, suddenly appeared in his mind and disrupted his thoughts.

He extinguished the cigarette and recalled the youth’s gentle smile towards Yang Qingtian. He had never seen such a gentle and warm smile before.

Yun Huan suddenly felt annoyed, realizing that the youth had a large influence on him. He had never been affected by a person like this before. It was a simple action, a smile, but it broke his wall of calmness.

He did not like anyone touching him, much less having the youth care for someone else in that way.

He was afraid? What a joke! The Young Emperor of the capital was afraid, it was only natural, and for a joke of a reason. But he was truly afraid that the youth would reveal disgust and fear towards him if he understood his thoughts.

“Really, so disobedient,” Yun Huan’s voice was low and seemed to merge completely with the darkness, giving rise to an increase in the cold intent around him.

‘I promised myself that I would not be overly attached, truly…’

Too disobedient.

Qin Yi held onto the minced meat porridge, her spirits low, the fragrant congee not attracting her attention enough to keep her mind from the person that had yet to come back.

Gao Yuan took large mouthfuls of the minced meat porridge and felt blessed. Having an ice ability user was truly great, he thought as he watched Lin Bai take out the frozen meat. Gao Yuan was once again envious of the team.

Having an ice ability user was like having a movable freezer, meaning that they no longer had to worry about how they would eat meat. Upon thinking about this, Gao Yuan decided to recruit an ice ability user when they returned, but since their numbers were scarce, he was unaware if there were even any present back at base.

Gao Yuan’s worries did not affect his appetite, speaking loudly to Deng Baoping, “Bao’er, get Uncle Yuan another bowl.”

Deng Baoping took Gao Yuan’s bowl as everyone watched hatefully and enviously as Deng Baoping filled up Gao Yuan’s bowl to the brim.

The fragrant and rich porridge caused them all to salivate. They had not eaten hot rice in a long time, as they were focused on running in the past days and could only live on dry biscuits. Since when could they receive such luxury food?

Lan Xiang’s eyes were dark as she looked at Zhang Hui enjoying her biscuit in the corner and sighed inwardly. Now that they had to rely on this group of people, Lan Xiang knew they could not act rashly. The people disliked them and could only act discreetly, as they had no ability users in the group.

Lan Xiang was resigned to her fate, but not Qin Jiaojiao. She looked back and forth at the pot of minced meat porridge and her sandwich, which contained only a bit of meat, and felt extremely unsatisfied.

She had initially thought that the trip would be easy and smooth. Who knew that she would suffer through having to watch others eating well? They were all one group, but she was being excluded. She couldn’t understand why!

Feeling aggrieved, Qin Jiaojiao handed the sandwich over to Qin Hanmo and fumed, “I don’t want to eat this anymore, it isn’t nice.”
