“But I…” An Shixi hesitated.

"What's wrong? Is there something you're worried about?" Xu He thought for a moment and said, "The people in the team are all very easy to get along with, and they will definitely welcome you. If they knew that you, a space ability user, were to join, they would definitely..."

As Xu He was speaking, An Shixi's eyes suddenly filled with tears, which rolled down her cheeks like scattered pearls. She didn't say a word, yet her words spoke volumes.

"Xiaoxi, please don't cry. Did I say something wrong?"

Xu He raised his hands in front of his chest, then suddenly remembered something and slapped his head hard: "Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to say that if you're willing to join us, everyone will welcome you, but not entirely because of your spatial ability. You're so great, even without your spatial ability, they would still like you."

Seeing that An Shixi was still crying, Xu He was at a loss. His hand, which was hanging in the air, clenched and unclenched until he noticed the tissues on the bedside table. He then hurriedly picked them up and held them to her: "What happened? Did someone bully you? Tell me so I can help you."

An Shixi took it, wiped it, then glanced at him with a sob, before lowering her head and whispering, "You can't help me, it's just that, it's just that my space is gone."

As soon as she finished speaking, An Shixi, who had been pretending to cry, thought of the supplies she had painstakingly collected in the necklace and He Yan's attitude towards her after losing the space, and her tears flowed even more genuinely.

Xu He felt both distressed and worried, and asked anxiously, "What happened? Did you overuse your powers? Will it affect your health?"

Xu He's attitude, which differed from He Yan's, greatly comforted An Shixi.

"It won't affect my body." She shook her head slightly, temporarily stopping her tears, her tear-dampened eyelashes trembling. "I... I lied to everyone. Actually, I didn't awaken any special abilities. The space I had before was because I had a special spatial necklace, but now the necklace has been destroyed, so the space..."

He Yan wasn't a talkative person, but with the space gone and all the supplies he had collected lost, he needed to give an explanation to his team members and the base, so his exposure was inevitable.

In that case, it would be better for her to reveal it herself; who knows, it might even draw everyone's attention to Ye Shuwan, who destroyed her necklace.

Xu He was initially confused, but seeing her heartbroken expression, he didn't think she was lying, so he had no choice but to accept the reason. He frowned and thought for a while before asking, "Was it done by the group that hurt you? Where are they now? And how did they know about the special nature of this necklace?"

"This necklace was a gift from my roommate, she..."

An Shixi recounted her story with Ye Shuwan in detail, stripping away the hidden thoughts and dark schemes. With just her narration, the blood-stained gauze around her neck, and her weak and pale face, she vividly portrayed a character who was hurt both physically and mentally after being misunderstood by her friend, yet generously forgave her.

Upon hearing this, Xu He couldn't contain his anger any longer. He jumped up, almost tipping his chair over, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Xiao Xi, don't be afraid, I'll go avenge you right now! She's at the base right now, isn't she?"

"Don't go, Brother He." An Shixi grabbed Xu He's sleeve and pleaded, "Wanwan has several suspected level three superpowered individuals with her. I know Brother He is very powerful, but the other side has a lot of people and I don't want you to see her get hurt."

It wasn't that he didn't want revenge, but the group protecting Ye Shuwan was too strong. If Xu He rushed straight in and angered them, he would not only lose his life but also implicate her, which was really not worth it.

It would be better to plant a seed in Xu He's heart first, and then take revenge later when He Yan recruits that group of people into the base.

An Shixi concealed her barely perceptible hatred and ruthlessness, and understandingly revealed: "Moreover, Captain He plans to recruit them into the base as well. If they enter the base, everyone will be family in the future, and there will definitely be a lot of contact between the various teams. We should not make the relationship too strained."

Xu He seemed to understand something, and his desire for immediate revenge diminished. He sat down again, looking like he was listening to advice: "Okay, I'll listen to Xiaoxi. But don't worry, I'll remember this grudge and make her pay a hundredfold in the future."

Seeing that An Shixi was about to speak, he quickly changed the subject, saying with a smile, "So, Xiaoxi, are you worried about me? You've agreed to join my team?"

An Shixi nodded, then lowered her head shyly, remaining silent, her eyes clear and bright.

Xu He was in a great mood, but he didn't forget to secretly mock He Yan: "Xiao Xi, don't worry, I will definitely protect you well in the future and I won't let you encounter something like today again."

“Yes, I believe in Brother He.” An Shixi looked up and met his gaze, her eyes filled with affection.

Xu He felt that his chance had finally come, and his heart was burning with excitement, but he still managed to suppress the words that were about to slip out. He got up and tucked the blanket around her, saying, "It's getting late. You should get some rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

……

[Oh my god, how did the female lead get involved with the second male lead so quickly?]

In Ye Shuwan's room, after An Shixi woke up, Qi Qi broadcasted her conversation with He Yan and Xu He to Ye Shuwan in real time.

(It's alright; after all, her biggest support is gone now.)

Ye Shuwan had long expected that Xu He liked An Shixi and was willing to stand up for her. The only thing that surprised her was that He Yan would abandon An Shixi so quickly.

So it really is because we ran out of space?

Ye Shuwan stopped thinking about it and saw that Xu He had already left An Shixi's room: (At this distance, I can control her to leave the room on her own. I'll act when no one is around outside.)

[Okay, wait a minute, why is the Zombie King from the future here?!]

Qi Qi was nodding in agreement with Ye Shuwan's plan when she saw Jiang Yufeng openly and brazenly enter An Shixi's room on the screen.

Ye Shuwan was also somewhat surprised. Her mental abilities could indeed sense someone approaching An Shixi's room, but she couldn't see who it was. That's why she thought of waiting for the person to leave before taking action.

But seeing that it was Jiang Yufeng, he immediately felt a sense of relief, as if it were expected.

This is probably why I suddenly moved into the Jiangchuan base today.

Ye Shuwan's lips unconsciously curled up, then she paused, suddenly realizing something, and asked: (If I didn't personally handle An Shixi's situation, will it affect my final score?)

"As long as the original owner is satisfied, that's fine." Qi Qi replied, then realized Ye Shuwan's meaning: "Wanwan, you mean, he's here to solve the female lead's problem for you?"

Ye Shuwan raised an eyebrow. Given Jiang Yufeng's personality, it was highly likely that she wouldn't get a chance to take action against An Shixi.

(Is the original owner still alive?)

[Not really. At most, she's just a wisp of a soul. Only after the mission is completed and her obsession dissipates can she be reincarnated.]
