Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Captain? What are you doing?"

Good boy, not only did he stop hurling insults, he even called out the captain now. And the tone he used sounded like a frightened little rabbit, making anyone who heard it want to bully him... Wait, why would I have such an idea?!

There was a sudden shock in his mind, and when Zhao Yingcao came back to his senses, his eyes looking at Qian Xin seemed to become much deeper in an instant.

"Crack!"

That was the sound of the door closing. It was only at this moment that Qian Xin seemed to realize that Zhao Yingcao had actually walked in and closed and locked the door. Her brows furrowed even more, and she seemed to want to say something, but this time she was interrupted by Zhao Yingcao:

"You haven't given me an answer to a question from a week ago."

The calm words immediately left Qian Xin bewildered. It seemed like a long time before she remembered what the other party had asked her. Then, without a doubt, it was...

"..."

A blush flashed across her face. Qian Xin obviously didn't dare to make a move since she was not as strong as the other party. So after thinking about it, she could only smile awkwardly and said:

"Um... Captain, let's stop joking. We're all women, and talking about likes and dislikes is really..."

"I'm not kidding. There's no explicit rule prohibiting same-sex relationships. Besides, it's the end times now, and the law isn't as powerful as force. So it's only natural for me to like you!"

"..."

Good guy, the person who said this string of words was stunned. Qian Xin almost thought it was a matter of course.

But of course, Qian Xin quickly came back to her senses. After taking a deep breath, she finally managed to suppress the inexplicable irritation in her heart. She immediately looked straight at Zhao Yingcao. She didn't intend to joke with him, and gave her answer directly:

"Sorry, not to mention that I already have someone I like, just the fact that it's Lily, anyone can do it... but you can't!"

Yes, she is absolutely not acceptable. After all, she is his enemy, the one he must avenge, the one who killed him. He only has hatred for her, so how could he possibly like her?

She was so sure in her heart, but for some reason, when she said this, a flash of pain inexplicably passed through her heart at that moment.

Illusion?

"..."

She received a direct rejection from the other party without any twists and turns. When she heard that the other party had someone he liked, Zhao Yingcao's first reaction was the man she had met before.

Yes, if Qian Xin is really a reborn person, then the only person she likes is the man who makes her feel dangerous.

As she thought so in her heart, Zhao Yingcao couldn't help but frowned... At that moment, she actually had the idea of ​​killing the man directly... Is this jealousy?

It seems that I really like Qian Xin.

The thought in his mind was confirmed once again, but Zhao Yingcao obviously didn't care about Qian Xin's refusal.

After all, the other party's hatred and murderous intentions towards him were not just one or two days old. Even though he liked the other party, he could not guarantee that the other party would like him back. Zhao Yingcao had already clearly understood this point, which made her feel very calm. She was so calm that she just looked at the other party and calmly said a reply to the other party's rejection:

"I understand. I will try my best!"

After saying this, he walked out again without looking back, leaving Qian Xin behind in confusion... Wait, what did you understand? And what are you going to work hard for?!

However, she had such doubts in her mind, but the other party had no intention of giving her an explanation. When Qian Xin reacted, she was the only one left in the room.

"So what the hell is going on here?"

Qian Xin scratched his hair in distress, obviously very confused by this series of events. It took him a long time to finally regain his rationality bit by bit. However, after another period of daze, he finally decided to bury his head under the pillow and act like an ostrich.

Just think of it as a dream, an extremely absurd dream!

I thought so in my heart, but when I actually lay down, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, as if there was something missing around me that could make me sleep peacefully...

"?!"

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Qian Xin, who was still sleeping, suddenly sat up. After being stunned for a long while, he slapped himself in the face without thinking.

"Crack~~"

"Qian Xin, calm down. Don't forget who she is!"

In her mind, the scenes of being eaten by zombies were clearly reflected in her mind again. After a long time, Qian Xin finally calmed down.

This time... I really fell asleep.

Two weeks had passed since the confession, and it seemed that after being rejected by Qian Xin, Zhao Yingcao had really given up and stopped pursuing her. This was undoubtedly a good thing for Qian Xin, but at the same time, it also made Qian Xin feel a little depressed for some reason.

Where's the effort you promised? Is this all?

Humph~~woman!

With her conflicting feelings in her heart, she was clearly relieved, but because of a woman's conflicting feelings, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful. She was the one who rejected others, but when she saw the other party's decisive reaction, she suddenly became even more angry.

Am I really that unattractive?

That’s probably the idea behind raising a child.

More than a month passed after that...

If it weren't for the fact that the favorability level had always remained at 100% without any change, Qian Xin seemed to think that everything that had happened before was just a dream. Whenever she woke up in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but compare the cold face of Zhao Yingcao in her previous life with the other person's face.

The result was not surprising...it turned out that the current Zhao Yingcao was more pleasing to the eye...no wonder!

Who would like that guy? She wanted to kill him right away!

I shook my head vigorously to get rid of the messy thoughts in my mind. I was feeling depressed when a gentle voice suddenly rang in my ears:

"Love? Isn't this the little sister I met by chance that day? Were you originally in this base?"

The sudden voice made Qian Xin stunned. She turned around numbly, but the familiar handsome figure behind her made her heart skip a beat. She was stunned on the spot for a moment.

That is... Ming Chuo? !

Why is he here?

This thought flashed through his mind immediately, but of course it didn't last long. He was attracted by the other party's handsomeness. He almost jumped up and immediately opened his mouth with a nervous voice:

“You you you…I I…I…”

He was speaking incoherently, and it seemed as if he couldn't even utter a word. However, it was at this juncture that he saw the girl in front of him seemed speechless because of his "appearance". In fact, Ming Chuo had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of disapproval.

He had seen this kind of look many times and obviously didn't like it. It wasn't a coincidence that he came up to say hello, but he had other personal purposes.

It was precisely because of his purpose that he was so patient in chatting with the other party, and the result was obvious... Ming Chuo was still very confident in his charm.

After meeting the girl once in the ruined city, Ming Chuo had been secretly thinking about her for some reason. It couldn't be said that he fell in love with her, at most he was a little interested in her.

After that, I went to the ruins many times as if possessed by a ghost, but the imagined coincidence obviously did not happen.

This time, I came to the base to collect supplies and negotiate intelligence with the base. Unexpectedly, I saw Qian Xin sitting on the steps at the door of a villa in a daze.

Thinking of Qian Xin, he naturally thought of the icy beauty at that time. At that moment, Ming Chuo's eyes lit up slightly and he walked up to her.

The other party is a member of her team. Since he appears here, he doesn't seem like an outsider. So that woman... is also here?

179. Relationship

Ming Chuo was not interested in Qian Xin, and was obviously more interested in Zhao Yingcao. However, Qian Xin obviously didn't know this, so when she saw that the other party actually took the initiative to find her, her originally depressed heart was instantly replaced by the feeling called "insane".

She could hardly speak clearly in front of him. After all, the most fundamental reason why she and Zhao Yingcao had an intersection in her previous life was the man in front of him. The infatuation between two people in their past lives was obviously not so easy to erase.

Of course, despite being so infatuated, Qian Xin was obviously able to distinguish some things clearly. For example, the other party seemed to be chatting with her in his words, but every time Qian Xin would intentionally or unintentionally avoid the topic of her own 'captain'.

On the surface, Ming Chuo acted as if he didn't mind at all or didn't even notice it. Regardless of whether he succeeded in deceiving Qian Xin or not, at least under this circumstance, the atmosphere between the two of them was pretty good.

Ming Chuo didn't get the news he wanted in the end. Even though he was infatuated with her, Qian Xin's psychological shadow about Zhao Yingcao was too great. And knowing that the person in front of her was the 'male protagonist', she naturally tried every means to prevent the two from meeting, because only in this way would she have a chance.

Holding this idea in mind, he chatted with Ming Chuo. Ming Chuo himself had many ways to deal with this kind of nymphomaniac. After just a few words, Qian Xin was almost bewildered. In an instant, she almost told all her secrets.

Of course, it stopped at the final moment, and that was the opportunity for Ming Chuo to find time to end the chat.

It was obvious that Qian Xin was unable to come to her senses immediately until she saw the man's back slowly disappear in front of her.

As soon as Qian Xin thought about how Ming Chuo, who had always been rude and even cold to her in her previous life, was now so friendly to her, she buried her head in the quilt in an instant. Even after several hours, the excitement in her heart still did not subside.

However, what Qian Xin obviously did not notice was that at this moment, at the door of the room where she lived, a figure was leaning against the wall, silently listening to the laughter of the girl in love coming from the room from time to time. After more than an hour, he turned around and left with an expressionless face.

"The male protagonist, the female protagonist...that person?"

Qian Xin was obviously not on guard, or perhaps she lowered her guard in excitement, so she didn't notice Zhao Yingcao who was eavesdropping outside. But after she roughly understood the relationship between her, Qian Xin and Ming Chuo from the other party's few words, her originally cold face now had a colder color.

“…You’re not worthy!”

After a long time, he took a deep breath and ended his thinking. Just before Zhao Yingcao left, he glanced at the closed door again, then turned around and walked towards the room.

The words "unworthy" seemed to be spoken to someone, and there seemed to be a hint of murderous intent in the coldness.

The days continued to pass one by one. Perhaps because of the chance encounter with Ming Chuo, Qian Xin's mood was finally relieved by Zhao Yingcao's reckless confession, and she gradually returned to her original state, and even couldn't avoid meeting Zhao Yingcao.

After all, although the other party's confession obviously caused a slight change in her desire for revenge, this not-so-obvious change was quickly overshadowed by her obsession and love for Ming Chuo that had entangled her in two lives. Under such circumstances, she naturally would not be influenced by Zhao Yingcao anymore.

Zhao Yingcao could obviously see this. Qian Xin's attitude towards her returned to the same as before, but this time there was obviously a more unfamiliar feeling, which made her very unhappy... very unhappy.

"I'd better find a time to do it."

After a few years of survival in the last days, anything like simplicity no longer existed. Therefore, even when thinking about such things, Zhao Yingcao's expression was naturally without any doubt.

The only thing that could stop her from taking action...probably is the opponent's strength that is worth fearing.

To this day, Zhao Yingcao still clearly remembers the deep and dangerous impression the other party left on him when they first met.

To be honest, the seemingly deadly danger not only made people afraid to take action, but actually had a unique charm. Even Zhao Yingcao had thought that if he had met the other party before, he might really be attracted by this danger.

However, in this world... there are no ifs!

The choices she made in her previous life had nothing to do with her now. Even though she knew that Qian Xin's current kindness to her was actually for the sake of her own system and the so-called favorability, she didn't care.

Once you fall in love, you fall in love. At least this is Zhao Yingcao's decision today. Therefore, this alone is enough for Zhao Yingcao to ignore the existence of anyone else...including her former 'male protagonist'.

It can be said that the main reason why Zhao Yingcao still pays attention to Ming Chuo is because of Qian Xin. Because the other party is close to Qian Xin, she cares about him and wants to kill him. To put it bluntly, in Zhao Yingcao's heart at this time, the other party is not an ideal husband, but... a love rival!

All the plans will eventually be ruthlessly overturned. After all, no one knows the final result if you are not absolutely sure about it.

Besides that, the most important point is... Qian Xin's attitude!

Qian Xin likes Ming Chuo, and everyone can see it just from his reaction. As for the idea of ​​Ming Chuo... who cares?

This was obviously not a good thing for Zhao Yingcao. After all, during their previous interactions, she was almost certain that although Qian Xin had a strong desire to kill her, she actually had some trust and affection for her in her heart.

The other party is trying to gain favor with him, but isn't Zhao Yingcao also trying to change the other party?

This was a secret contest, but it was precisely during this contest that Zhao Yingcao was able to feel the subtle changes in Qian Xin's feelings towards her.

Although small, it represents a turning point in the matter. However, just when things are going so smoothly, the appearance of a Mingchao may very likely ruin everything... How can this be allowed?!

She took the can of snacks she had just gotten and handed them to Qian Xin, but in return she got a cold snort from her and closed the door after taking the things, without even thinking of letting her in. However, Zhao Yingcao walked downstairs without caring at all, but she was still thinking about Ming Chuo.

In the end, after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a good solution. After thinking about it, Zhao Yingcao suddenly felt that there might be something wrong with the direction of his thinking.

"Why am I so obsessed with killing Ming Chuo? Actually, if Qian Xin agrees, wouldn't the matter between the three of us become between two people?"

It is not unreasonable to think so. Zhao Yingcao knew that Qian Xin met with the other party in the afternoon, and could clearly see Qian Xin's love. At the same time, relying on their respective repulsive attributes, Zhao Yingcao could easily discover the other party's obvious calculation and interest in looking at Qian Xin and talking and laughing.

He didn't like Qian Xin, and seemed to be planning to take advantage of Qian Xin's 'admiration' for him to do something.

This thought came to his mind, and combined with his previous thoughts, Zhao Yingcao stood up from the bed without hesitation. After thinking about it, he opened the door and walked out.

The initial reason Qian Xin and Zhao Yingcao lived together was partly to monitor each other and partly because there were no vacant rooms at the time.

However, now that the relationship between the two has become increasingly ambiguous, it is obviously unnecessary to suspect Qian Xin. In addition, after what happened later, Qian Xin naturally moved out and lived in a room not far next door.

At this moment, Zhao Yingcao came to the room and knocked gently on the door. Soon, the door opened a crack. When Qian Xin saw Zhao Yingcao's figure, she was stunned for a moment, and then she said disdainfully without thinking:

"What's up?"

The bland and cold words, coupled with the slightly childish face, were obviously not suitable, but Zhao Yingcao had long been accustomed to this, so she nodded slightly without saying anything.

Zhao Yingcao's behavior was strange, but upon closer thought, there was nothing strange about it. After all, she was used to it. Qian Xin couldn't help but think about it, but still measured her body and let her in.

Favorability is not fixed. In the current situation, if one is not careful, the favorability may drop, which will obviously have an impact on Qian Xin's mission.

Qian Xin herself wanted to become stronger, and the system gave her the ability she wanted. If her favorability was gone, it would take an unknown time to recover it, so no matter what, she could be rude to Zhao Yingcao, but she still needed to do some basic things.

Zhao Yingcao had clearly grasped this bottom line. After his trusted aide made way for him, he walked into the room and subconsciously took a look around.

There were obviously not many things in the small bedroom, mostly some gun parts and so on. In this room that did not look like a girl's room at all, Qian Xin casually threw a bed in the middle and used it as her bedroom.

How should I put it...isn't it a little too simple?!

180. Like is free

It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a simple score. After all, having such a place to live in the end times is obviously a great fortune.

But compared to people like Zhao Yingcao who have space, when they have strength and plug-ins, they will naturally think about making their lives more comfortable.
