16 Space Exposure

She and Gu Meng live in the secondary bedroom, facing south, with sunlight during the day. It is about twenty or thirty square meters in size. The furnishings inside are simple, with only one bed. The bed is already covered with a thick quilt, and there are two bedside cabinets on each side. A candle is burning on the bedside cabinet, and the outside is covered with a glass cover to prevent it from burning elsewhere. There is also a wardrobe against the wall, which looks like it can hold a lot of clothes.

 

The window is closed, only a small window inside is open for ventilation. There are also many boxes of water and instant food stacked by the window, covered with a gray cloth.

 

Su Yu took out the commonly used clothes from the suitcase and put them away, and continued to put the rarely used ones and the quilt in the suitcase. The suitcase was placed at the bottom. Her things took up half of the left side of the wardrobe, and the other half was left for Gu Meng.

 

Just as Gu Meng came in, she asked, "Which side do you sleep on?"

 

Gu Meng seemed a little surprised that she let herself choose first. After hesitating for a while, she chose the side by the window.

 

Su Yu nodded, put her backpack on the bedside cabinet next to the wardrobe, and sat down.

 

She watched Gu Meng busy organizing her clothes. The heroine didn't have many things. There were only two sets of replacement cotton jackets. Su Yu looked at it and decided to go to the villa area tomorrow if she had time.

 

This poor child suffers all kinds of grievances, but she won't tell others or complain. In the end, it will only wronged herself. Seeing that she is good to herself, Su Yu decides to help as much as she can. 

Just as she was lost in thought, someone knocked on the door. Su Yu went to open it, and Lin Yiran stood at the door staring at her and whispered, "I want to talk to you."

 

Su Yu nodded, walked out under Gu Meng's curious gaze, closed the door, and followed Lin Yiran to the living room.

 

The living room was very quiet, and Li Zhun also went to his bedroom.

 

Su Yu sat down and waited for Lin Yiran to speak first.

 

" Su Yu, I saw you come out to look for supplies during the rainstorm. "

 

Su Yu nodded.

 

Before the rainstorm, she had bought things many times, and also looked for supplies during the rainstorm. Although I was curious about why she bought so many things, "the boy got closer to her, leaned over and whispered in her ear not far from her, "I'm more curious about where those supplies went..."

 

Su Yu raised her eyes sharply, looking into his deep eyes, and a chill rose from the bottom of her feet. 

 

The male lead is so smart! He actually suspected her, observed her, and even probably guessed her secret just by a little clue!

 

Su Yu bit her lip and her brain spun wildly.

 

She underestimated the male lead! She thought it was just a romance novel. She had always regarded herself as a supporting role and thought that the main character group wouldn't care much about herself. She thought that even if the male lead was smart, he wouldn't threaten her. But she was completely wrong!

 

Should she admit it? If she denies it and says that her supplies were eaten or hidden elsewhere, can she deceive the male lead? Damn, if only this was the period of theextraordinary ability explosion! She could say that she had a space extraordinary ability!

 

That's right! Space extraordinary ability!

 

Su Yu's eyes brightened. She would first see if she could bluff her way through. If not, she could pretend that she had a space extraordinary ability! Anyway, in another month or so, when the zombie virus breaks out, many people will unlock their extraordinary ability. 

 

Thinking of this, Su Yu became more confident. She stared at the male lead and asked coldly, "Why should I tell you? What, do you also want my supplies?"

 

Lin Yiran was stunned, seemingly not expecting her to ask this question, and shook his head immediately, "I don't lack supplies and won't ask for yours. I just want you to do me a favor..."

 

Su Yu snorted, "I don't believe it."

 

Lin Yiran stood up, pulled Su Yu's arm, and directly took her to the kitchen to see the piles of rice and noodles, and then went to their bedroom. He took her to see various supplies in the curious eyes of Li Zhun, pulled her out and closed the door.

 

Su Yu was almost confused by him. Why, showing off how much supplies you have?

 

Lin Yiran looked at her and said, "Now do you see? I also have a lot of supplies, and I won't be greedy for yours. Moreover, I swear that if I have designs on your things, I will not be... " 

 

"Enough!" Su Yu interrupted directly, not wanting to listen to him swear anymore, "I believe you."

 

Su Yu had nothing to say.

 

In the novel, the male lead's character is definitely passable, otherwise he wouldn't have supported a huge base in the later stage and become a hero admired by thousands of people.

 

Lin Yiran continued to whisper, "Actually, I can probably guess that you should have some way to put things away and be easy to carry, similar to the space in the novel?"

 

Su Yu: "..."

 

It's space! He guessed it right! Why be so smart!

 

"I hope you can do me a favor and put these and the supplies found later away. I always feel that this disaster won't end soon, so I need a lot of things. The apartment is not big enough, and there are not enough supplies. I need a backup plan." Saying that, Lin Yiran looked at her, his tone was solemn, "Su Yu, you are my backup plan." 

 

 

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and finally understood. 

 

It seems that the male lead guessed that she had space, so he wanted her to help collect supplies, so he asked Gu Meng to bring her here.

 

Su Yu asked again, "Aren't you afraid that I will swallow all your things?"

 

Lin Yiran looked at her and asked back, "Will you?"

 

Before Su Yu could answer, he said to himself, "I don't think you will."

 

Su Yu: "..."

 

The male lead actually trusts her so much.

 

In any case, it's a good thing for her to be recognized for her ability in the team, so she agreed, "Okay. However, I have to say this beforehand, although I am very grateful that you provided me with accommodation, my use of my ability to help you will cancel each other out. I don't owe you anything. In the future, when going out to find supplies, for the supplies found by everyone together, I will get one-sixth of the reward. For the supplies found separately, I will look for mine, and you will look for yours. I will help you store and keep your share, that's all."

 

Lin Yiran paused and nodded in agreement.

 

"Also, don't tell anyone about my ability. The fewer people who know, the better."

 

"Rest assured, I will handle it well."

 

Su Yu then told him to send Li Zhun and Gu Meng away tomorrow and let herself collect things. 

 

Since Lin Yiran agreed to make the arrangements, Su Yu went straight back to her room. 

 

She went back first and would drag Gu Meng out to wash later. Being in a space alone with the male lead made her too uncomfortable.

 

The boy stood still, looking at her as she opened the door and went in, without blinking, as if imprisoning the person in his eyes.

 

After the door was closed, the living room was extremely quiet. He stood under the light and muttered a sentence.

 

"This is not the main reason why I asked you to come and live..."

 

This sentence, except for him, no one heard.
