Ji Anran's expression was subtle. "Can I ask, where exactly did you hear from that there is a problem in my relationship with Geng-ge?"
"Didn’t you go look for a renowned metal ability user of the base today? What could that have been for if you weren’t looking for a new backer? The base is also not very safe, so if you still had Geng Yan's supplies and protection, why would you have taken the risks and came out?"
Ji Anran: “......”
Speaking of which, while you may not believe it, Geng Yan went out this time precisely to buy a new house to keep me in[1]! If it wasn’t that I wanted to get back together with, even without touching him, I would still be able to permanently live in his house free of charge~
Seeing that Ji Anran didn’t respond, Pan Weihu thought he must have hit the mark, and so continued to offer himself for the position to Ji Anran.
"Although my reputation in the base is that of a romantic[2], I had treated each of them well while I was still with them, and I had never shortchanged them on supplies. You should really consider me."
Pan Weihu, who kept boasting that he was romantic but not vulgar, appeared very self-confident, making Ji Anran quite speechless.
Ji Anran detoured around Pan Weihu and continued to walk forward. "No need, I’m already taken."
“Although I’m not an ability user, I am still pretty good as a boyfriend. Are you really not going to give it some consideration? While this metal ability user is good-looking, he's not necessarily more considerate than I am.”
The "collecting" enthusiast, Pan Weihu, hurried to catch up.
The corner of Ji Anran’s mouth twitched. "He and I are just friends."
"The two of you had only known each other for a day, then why are you guys already so familiar?" Pan Weihu still didn’t give up. "If you ever come to regret it, you can come find me at any time for a romance. It won’t be a loss."
Wei Yanhua glanced at Pan Weihu coldly. "Stop pestering him. Don't think just because you brought some followers that I won't dare to beat you."
The entrance of the hotel was right in front of them, and Ji Anran directly stepped inside.
“See you tomorrow. At that time, wait at the hotel entrance, I'll come to pick you up.” Wei Yanhua said while still looking at Pan Weihu.
He was obviously worried that Pan Weihu, after being unsuccessful in catching Ji Anran, would do something extreme.
"Okay."
Pan Weihu and Chen Xiaohui: “......”
Pick you up tomorrow...
This really wasn’t a new love?
Chen Xiaohui watched as Ji Anran's back grew distant, secretly gritting his teeth.
He had thought that he would’ve been able to see a play of ‘snatching a man by force’ today, unexpectedly, everything just passed by very smoothly. So hateful!
Wei Yanhua was a metal ability user, who was very seductively bewitching. In the base, his looks were definitely one of the best. But he never liked teaming up with others to go on missions because he didn't like to be looked at by their salivating and covetous eyes.
Ji Anran’s weapon was the crossbow, so his largest problem was that there was no way to retrieve the arrows after they were shot.
And so he went to find a metal ability holder, hoping to cooperate.
A lot of people have tried to rope in Wei Yanhua before as well, so he had not intended to entertain Ji Anran.
But Ji Anran had directly pointed out that it was only because he wanted to reconcile with his ex-boyfriend that he was trying to join the team in order to fight alongside the other. And so suddenly, Wei Yanhua became interested. As he gossiped along the way, he found that he and Ji Anran were very like-minded, immediately hitting it off, becoming good friends.
Wei Yanhua also agreed to join Geng Yan's team of ability users along with Ji Anran, promising he wouldn’t leave until they get back together.
Night fell and the moon hung high in the sky. The silver moonlight poured down, illuminating everything on the ground exceptionally clearly.
Geng Yan was sitting in front of his tent with a small notebook and a pen in hand.
"Anran's physical strength is probably not that good..."
Geng Yan kept adding and deleting, modifying in his notebook. He was customizing a training plan for Ji Anran. Although he planned to settle Anran down inside the base, he still wanted to teach Anran a bit more so that he could feel more assured.
Early the next morning, Ji Anran went out to meet Wei Yanhua according to their appointment.
"I've already thought about the contents of our training. They would all target our tacit understanding, take a look and see if anything else should be added?" Ji Anran pushed the notebook over.
Wei Yanhua took a look. "I don’t see any problems. Let's start the training like this first, then if any problems come up during the training, we can add it later."
And so, in the following two weeks, Ji Anran would go out and train with Wei Yanhua every day.
Meanwhile, Geng Yan, who didn’t know any of this, would take a bit of time every night to improve his training plan for the other.
Ji Anran and Wei Yanhua kept training ceaselessly in the base, allowing their tacit understanding to rise higher and higher.
Geng Yan's good friend, who had stayed in the base, never received any news of Ji Anran asking for help, so after some time, he took the initiative to show some solicitude.
He went to the hotel and asked an acquaintance there about the situation.
This acquaintance, having been entrusted by Geng Yan's friend, would usually keep in mind to pay more attention to Ji Anran.
"No one came to bother Ji Anran, right? I’m just worried that he wouldn’t say anything even after being wronged, making it difficult for me to explain to my brother. After all, he’s a sister-in-law, I have to keep a good watch for my brother."
Not to mention, Geng Yan gave him supplies in reciprocation.
The other man's expression became very profound. “He’s doing very well, no one came to pick a fight, just that… I think there’s a bit of green above your brother’s head.”
As Geng Yan’s friend was drinking, hearing this, a mouthful of alcohol sprayed out with a ‘pu’, and his hand almost even slipped and dropped the bottle.
Three weeks later since Geng Yan left the base, he finally earned the qualification to buy one of the housing units.
In fact, there were several floors in each of the new residential buildings for ability holders, and the difference between the various buildings was the size of their units. Geng Yan was going to buy a unit in the building with the largest living space, and so it took him three weeks.
If he had wanted to buy one in one of the other few buildings, it wouldn't have taken so long.
Geng Yan sat in the car that was heading back while looking at his notebook, there was only a smile on his face.
"Anran likes the large houses on this side. There’s only two of us, so at that time, even if he wanted to grow vegetables in the house, it would be enough."
Geng Yan lowered the notebook and looked out the window at the scenery that was flying by.
Finally, it was time to go back. It’s been a long time since I saw him, I wonder whether Anran had trouble sleeping without anyone accompanying him at night...
The car slowly drove into the base, and as soon as the ability users on board saw that the car had stopped, they immediately got out.
They left one after another to head home, whereas Geng Yan walked towards the direction of Ji Anran's hotel.
It was currently a bit past three o'clock in the afternoon. There were a few clouds floating in the sky that just so happened to be blocking the sun right now, so the ground was shady and cool.
Geng Yan opened the door and softly called out, "Anran, I'm back."
The suite was empty, without a shadow in sight. There wasn’t a sound at all inside the room, making it frighteningly quiet.
"Anran went out?"
Geng Yan’s brows slightly furrowed, then quickly looked through the several rooms but still couldn’t find a trace of Ji Anran.
Everything in the room was still neat and tidy, and there were no traces of any fighting having occurred on the furniture... It seemed that Anran had gone out on his own.
Geng Yan lightly chuckled. “That’s true, Anran wasn’t a person who could stay sitting down, it's quite normal for him to go out and play.“
