Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

When Shen Mingchao lunged at him, given his reflexes, there was no way he couldn't dodge it.

He simply didn't dodge.

Afraid that the girl would fall to the ground, he subconsciously opened his arms and, as he wished, caught her in a tight embrace.

But when he opened his eyes again, everything in sight had changed, as if he had stepped into another world.

He paused for a moment.

He quickly came to his senses and cautiously looked around.

This place is strange.

Apart from the small area where they were located, which contained some daily necessities, when he turned his head and looked around, all he could see was a vast expanse of white, with no end in sight.

In short, it doesn't really resemble Earth.

Zhang Qiyu pondered for a moment, and then an idea came to him.

He was also present when they were talking in the next ward a few days ago. Although he didn't say anything, he listened very carefully.

They talked about how they spend most of their time in a place called [Space].

Before the bracelet, it was Shen Mingchao's consciousness space. After the bracelet was acquired, the consciousness space had an object as its carrier, and they could also materialize into a physical form through it.

Wu Xie was quite excited when he heard this.

They said they had seen this phenomenon several years ago.

There is a bronze tree in the Qinling Mountains, which contains special substances from extraterrestrial meteorites.

It is said that anyone who touches the sacred tree at close range can turn the things in their mind into real objects with strong willpower: from small things like food and tools to large things like complete human figures, they can create them out of thin air. Back then, he saw a clone of his childhood friend Lao Yang.

The bronze bells and bronze trees of the Zhang family share the same origin and have a series of special functions.

Therefore, they speculated that the bracelet might also contain this special substance.

Zhang Haixia and Wang Can said they didn't know, but they had briefly described what the space looked like.

It's similar to the scene before me.

So they've entered the bracelet space?

Just as he thought of this, a wave of heat rushed up on him, abruptly cutting off all his thoughts and leaving him no time to ponder.

A few tender whispers fell beside her ear.

"Hungry......"

"I'm so hungry..."

Are you hungry?

Zhang Qilin blinked.

I think it's reasonable.

Shen Mingchao had been in a coma for half a month. Even though he received intravenous nutrition every day, he hadn't eaten for so long, so it was normal for him to feel hungry when he woke up.

"I see."

As he spoke, he first helped the person to a sofa on the side.

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a tugging at his waist. He looked down and found that Shen Mingchao had grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Hungry."

It's still this word.

It was as if they were urging him on.

He became serious, gently pulled the hem of his shirt out, reached out and patted Shen Mingchao's head reassuringly, then added, "Wait a moment, I'll go look for it."

Zhang Qiyu's movements were extremely fast.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single food item in this vast area.

He searched everywhere and found only an unopened box of lozenges.

Only then did he remember that Zhang Haixia had indeed mentioned that they both had special physical conditions and did not need to eat regularly.

"..."

Looking at the jasmine pattern on the box, Zhang Qiyu experienced for the first time what it meant to be a skilled cook without rice.

But there was no other way.

This is the only thing that can be imported into the space.

better than nothing.

He turned and walked to the sofa, handing over the box of lozenges.

"What?"

"Lozenges." He lowered his eyes. "Sorry, this is all I could find."

Shen Mingchao tilted his head, looking puzzled. "Why are you giving me a lozenge?"

Zhang Qilin was also puzzled: "You said you were hungry."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingchao looked at the lozenges, then at Zhang Qiyu, pursed his lips, shook his head, and pushed the other's hand away from the lozenges: "I don't want this."

Zhang Qilin fell silent again.

Not only was there nothing in the space, but more importantly, he didn't know how to get out of it.

This is a bit tricky.

Seeing Shen Mingchao's displeased face, he finally sighed, squatted down, and placed the lozenge back in Shen Mingchao's hand, his tone softening: "This is delicious."

"……don't want."

I was still rejected.

Zhang Qiyu frowned.

Even the all-powerful Zhang family patriarch had a day when he was at a loss.

He couldn't use the same harsh methods he used on disobedient clansmen.

The standoff lasted for a minute or two.

He was defeated in the end.

"I'll go look again."

He said this with a sliver of hope, and was about to leave when he heard Shen Mingchao mutter, "Wooden head."

wood?

He didn't understand, so he bluntly asked the question that had been bothering him: "You want to eat wood?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Mingchao smiled and nodded at him.

Zhang Qiyu: ? ? ? ?

They don't understand, but they are extremely proactive.

After his initial surprise, he turned his gaze to the double bed not far away, pondering whether he should dismantle it.

After you leave, if those two ask, make Zhang Haike pay them some money.

Yes, that works.

Having made up his mind, he nodded: "I understand."

Before he could even get up, he heard Shen Mingchao utter the longest sentence he'd ever spoken since entering the space: "You clueless blockhead, what I mean is, I want you."

The stress is on the last word.

Zhang Qilin couldn't believe what he had heard. He subconsciously looked up, only to unexpectedly meet Shen Mingchao's gaze.

Her once bright and clear eyes were now misty with tears as she stared at him intently, her gaze filled with a surging, burning obsession.

The heat made him recoil and take a step back.

He wanted to hide.

But Shen Mingchao also stood up and pressed forward relentlessly.

He retreated step by step.

Just as the familiar pulling sensation returned, he was once again gripped by the other person's clothes, and the next second, a wave of heat hit him in the face.

He had nowhere to hide.

It turns out that he was the one being held in someone's arms all along.

Along with this came a series of changing scenes before my eyes and strange sensations in my body.

With a "thump".

His knees were burned and softened.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, and he swallowed hard. Even amidst the flames, a sliver of reason remained.

He saw everything Shen Mingchao said and did, and knew that Shen Mingchao was probably not thinking clearly.

He cannot take advantage of someone's misfortune.

So, with his strong will, he managed to control Shen Mingchao's restless hands, gently pushing him away and keeping a distance from him.

To his surprise, Shen Mingchao was unusually obedient.

After he pushed her away, she stood still, without taking another step forward or making any other movements.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to suggest that they should calm down, Shen Mingchao spoke first.

You pushed me away twice.

"You don't want to?"

He froze, realizing there was a hint of accusation in Shen Mingchao's words.

he…

He was a little unsure how to answer.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, Shen Mingchao didn't give him a chance to think at all. His mood changed drastically, and in a light voice, he said directly, "Okay."

"I don't like forcing people. If you're unwilling, then I'll find some outsiders—"

Before he could finish speaking, and before he could take more than a few steps, he was pulled back by a tremendous force.

Shen Mingchao:?

Her shoulders sank slightly as the person behind her exerted tremendous force, gripping her tightly and preventing her from moving.

A warm breath brushed against his ear, and the man's voice was deep and lingering: "I didn't say I didn't want to."

And the lozenges that we finally managed to find really came in handy.

The scent of jasmine lingers on the lips and teeth.

The snow on Changbai Mountain also melted at this moment.

The space was empty and quiet, with only them there, undisturbed. It was destined to be a very long night.
