Quick Transmigration: Let Me Tell You, I'm a Social Anxiety Person
Chapter 188 Can Zombies Also Have Romantic Minds? (20)
"Thank you, but I haven't been sleeping well lately, and my doctor advised me to drink less coffee," Wen Ying declined.
Rong Qi's smile turned somewhat amused: "I've heard the saying that doctors can't heal themselves, but I didn't expect Miss Ye to have this problem too."
“I’m just an ordinary person, not someone with supernatural powers,” Wen Ying replied.
Her phone rang; it was Zhao Xiyi urging her again. She hung up and texted her, "I'm upstairs."
Zhao Xiyi quickly sent a reprimand, her tone as dissatisfied as ever. Rong Qi, watching from the side, commented: "Miss Ye's self-awareness is not comprehensive enough. She blames her incompetence on others and arrogantly orders you to clean up the mess... That's what you call an ordinary person."
Wen Ying sighed and put away her phone: "It seems I need to go down there again."
“I went through all that trouble to pull you out of that group of people who turn their backs on you, not so you could rush back to them and get pelted with eggs by those arrogant old men and women,” Rong Qi said.
Wen Ying looked at the increasingly surging crowd: "But if this continues, a stampede could easily occur."
“They brought it on themselves. People these days are too easily unable to distinguish right from wrong…” Rong Qi put down his coffee cup, wrapped his arms around himself with a melancholy tone, “A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. We rescued these people from hell, but instead of being grateful, they regarded those who were divinely ordained as aliens.”
Wen Ying was silent for a moment before speaking: "This is inevitable; no one can escape being misunderstood."
“Of course I can understand. There’s an old saying in Z country: ‘Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.’ God-given people and mortals are inherently different.” Rong Qi said, then suddenly moved closer and whispered in Wen Ying’s ear, “Miss Ye is also blessed by heaven.”
"So that's why you said those things just now?" Wen Ying looked up at him. "They're the ones who will be finished, not us."
“Of course.” Rong Qi shrugged and left her. “To be honest, Miss Ye, as a citizen of Z country, may not be aware that headquarters has decided to abandon its asylum program for Z country.”
"...Give up asylum?" Wen Ying was slightly taken aback.
"Your country is neither friendly nor sincere. When you were setting up the branch, you broke the contract in Country Z and changed the original location to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Ah... although the scenery in Shenzhen and Hong Kong is also beautiful, this kind of fickle and defensive attitude is very disheartening, isn't it?"
"I thought headquarters sent you here to provide support..."
This was interrupted by a sneer. Rong Qi looked at her and said, "Perhaps, but we are willing but unable. The annual conversion rate of new recruits in the branch is strictly controlled by the government, and there is also that human monitor who is always arguing with you... I dare say that everyone here lives under surveillance. They are kept in the dark and cannot see the outside world, yet they feel smug about it."
"They've experienced the apocalypse, so of course they'd seek comfort..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a commotion broke out downstairs. Several angry young men broke through the order, and Ye Weiyi hurriedly tried to stop them, but was pushed to the ground. The out-of-control people almost trampled over her.
Rong Qi snapped his fingers, and a wall of fire suddenly erupted around the building, causing the group of people to gasp and retreat.
"Miss Ye, you've worked your way up to where you are today, do you also want to pursue a life of comfort?" Rong Qi asked with a hint of surprise.
Wen Ying didn't immediately say "yes" or "no," but stared at the windowpane as if she was thinking about something.
Rong Qi waited quietly for a while, then smiled and said, "Alright, you're a sentimental person. I know you're worried about those siblings. I heard that the ice-type ability user named Ye Weihan is your successor. Although he doesn't seem qualified yet, I can promise you that he will soon be in the position you desire."
Wen Ying turned her head, and Rong Qi's voice rang out again: "Just do one thing for me."

"Did I do a good job today?" In the hot pot restaurant, Ye Weiyi diligently served food to Wen Ying. "My acting was so realistic that even Ye Weihan was stunned."
"Yeah, I was not only stunned, I was scared to death." Ye Weihan was speechless. "If you really fell, that would be one thing, but couldn't you have fallen somewhere less crowded? You deliberately lay in a crowd, and the sole of my size 43 shoe almost imprinted on your face."
"That's what you call dedication!" Ye Weiyi said, hands on her hips. "Being an actor means you have to be willing to go all out."
Wen Ying put the meat slices back into her bowl and agreed to have an iced drink that night as a way of praising her dedication.
Ye Weihan: "Let her pick it up herself. Doesn't she have hands?"
"I cut my hand." Ye Weiyi rolled up her sleeve, and sure enough, there was a one-centimeter red mark on her wrist.
"Wow, that's a really big wound. It'll be healed in two minutes, right?"
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Ying reached out her chopsticks and placed a piece on Ye Weihan's plate as well: "Eat, young master."
Ye Weihan's displeasure immediately vanished, and she politely said "thank you," then demurely picked up her chopsticks.
He put the piece of luncheon meat in his mouth, but before he could chew it twice, he suddenly felt a gaze coming from somewhere.
The store had air conditioning on, but the view was like it was covered in ice crystals, chilling me to the bone.
Ye Weihan turned her head and looked around, but found nothing. The hot pot restaurant was packed with people, and every diner had a perfectly normal expression.
He faced the dining table and continued eating. Ye Weiyi acted cute and charming, and Wen Ying opened the bottle cap for her.
Ye Weihan didn't take it seriously and scoffed. Wen Ying also handed him a bottle of water: "Drink up, my ancestor."
"Thank you." Ye Weihan picked up the water bottle, and that strange gaze shot over her again.
Is this ever going to end?! He quickly turned his head, but the gaze hadn't disappeared. Moreover, it seemed to have changed its emotion; its left eye burned with rage, while its right eye emitted a chilling aura…
Ye Weihan, water bottle in his mouth, scanned the crowd with piercing eyes. Every diner who met his gaze gave him a puzzled "?", utterly bewildered.
Ye Weiyi didn't know what had suddenly gotten into him, so she raised her hand and slapped him: "Do you want to be reported?"
Ye Weihan turned around abruptly, pulled the chair closer, and frowned: "I feel like I'm being watched."
"You're overthinking it. You're just a little kid. Who would be so bored as to secretly watch you?" Ye Weiyi put the vegetables into the half closest to Wen Ying, then suddenly remembered something. "But speaking of which, Team Leader Zhao has also been followed these past few days."
"How did you know?" Ye Weihan asked.
“She told me that because of this incident, Team Leader Zhao moved to the dormitory last night.” Ye Weiyi rested her chin on her hand. “Maybe it’s because she feels the dormitory is safer. The person who was following Team Leader Zhao is quite perverted. She said, ‘The thought of being watched by someone with binoculars when I go home makes me feel nauseous.’ I thought about it and she’s right. She definitely can’t sleep well under other people’s gaze, and she might even have nightmares.”
"..." Wen Ying didn't say anything, picked up her cup and drank her beverage.
"Team Leader Zhao took the initiative to talk to me, and at first I was quite flattered," Ye Weiyi continued. "But later I found that she had a strong desire to confide in others. Maybe it was because the boss didn't have time to argue with her. Team Leader Zhao talked to me from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. and even treated me to fried chicken."
Ye Weihan suddenly realized: "So that's why you lingered at the entrance of the Supernatural Abilities Bureau for twenty-seven minutes in the middle of the night?"
"Uh, the delivery couldn't come in, so I went out to wait. But the delivery guy got lost, and I waited for ages. Team Leader Zhao felt bad and bought me some chocolate. By the way, how did you know I was loitering at the door? And the measurements were so precise..." Ye Weiyi was saying when she suddenly realized something was wrong. "You installed a surveillance camera on me?!"
