Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Han Weilin's Awakening.
Su Jiyai refused to meet them.
She heard of their grand wedding, later. Turns out they had held their wedding in one of the luxurious hotels. They also offered 6 different types of dishes to the guest!
Su Jiyai regretted her decision. If she had gone, at least she would be able to eat those yummy dishes.
When she told Qin Feng about it, he laughed.
Su Jiyai pouted and said,
"Why are you laughing? Don't you know how luxurious it is for us army people?"
For the past 5 months, Su Jiyai ate only 3 things for every single lunch and dinner: bread, pickles, and water.
Qin Feng paused and made a 'hmm' sound.
That evening Su Jiyai was invited to Qin Feng's personal office.
"You called?" Su Jiyai asked as she peeked inside the office.
"Hm. Come and sit." Qin Feng said.
Su Jiyai was quite familiar with Qin Feng by now.
After that blood infusion, Su Jiyai donated her blood to Qin Feng many times.
The reason was simple.
Blood infusion heals Qin Feng's injuries much faster. Su Jiyai proposed Qin Feng choose blood infusion every time.
George helped Su Jiyai in the task. He started to list down the benefits of blood infusion to Qin Feng.
Even after Qin Feng's repeated refusal, Geroge and Su Jiyai joined hands, and when Qin Feng was unconscious, they would ask the doctor to do a blood infusion.
Each time Qin Feng could only ask Su Jiyai to stay in his office and recuperate.
So Su Jiyai was very familiar with Qin Feng's office by now.
Su Jiyai sat down on the sofa and, Qin Feng called someone,
"Bring it in."
Su Jiyai raised an eyebrow.
What was her dear crush doing?
Wait. Could he still be called a crush, if she wanted to see him all day and night, spend her all time with him, become worried when he goes on a mission even though she is a soldier herself, wait for him to return, become jealous when someone else comes near him...
Was he still her crush? Or...
Su Jiyai stopped herself from thinking any further.
Even though Qin Feng and she have become friends, Su Jiyai never dared to dream of anything more.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, someone knocked on the door and soon few staff with plates entered the room.
One by one they placed the plates on the table and left.
Su Jiyai was in daze.
Was this truly what she was thinking?
Qin Feng smiled and teased her,
"What? Didn't want to have a taste of some other dishes? Now that they are in front of you why aren't you eating."
Su Jiyai's heart skipped a beat and she pointed at the food and asked,
"You asked someone to make this for me?"
"Yes." Qin Feng nodded nonchalantly.
Su Jiyai checked the dishes one by one.
Dumplings, Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Rice, Spring Rolls, and noodles.
These dishes may seem simple, but only survivors of the apocalypse know how expensive and precious these dishes were.
A single plate of dumplings costs 15,000 federal coins, while Kung Pao Chicken costs 30,000 federal coins!
If she wasn't wrong then Qin Feng had at least spent more than 100,000 federal coins on just a single meal!
"You...how could you spend so much money! How can I repay you?" Su Jiyai held her head.
The first thing that came into her mind was the price of the dishes and how difficult it would be to repay the money!
That was 100,000 federal coins!
Even if she saves her army salary every month, she won't be able to pay off 100,000 federal coins even in 10 years!
Qin Feng laughed,
"Aren't you repaying me already? And I did it for you, so don't look at the price and eat to your heart's content."
Su Jiyai paused and suddenly something clicked in her mind.
So the reason why Qin Feng bought all of those dishes was because she had complained that she had only eaten bread for the past 5 months?
Why does he care so much for her?
Does he...
No!
Even though Su Jiyai knew that it was impossible her heart was beating loudly.
What if he, like her... has some feelings for her too?
The mere thought made Su Jiyai's mood bright.
Su Jiyai shifted her gaze to the dishes and said,
"I will repay you someday, I promise."
"Okay." Qin Feng said with a chuckle.
What could she give to him, that he wants? The things he wants are something that could only be given by god.
He didn't want to demotivate Su Jiyai with his thought process and smiled. What he didn't know was...in the future, Su Jiyai would indeed give him what only god could give according to Qin Feng.
"You come and eat too, otherwise I would feel like a pig." Su Jiyai said.
Qin Feng chuckled. This girl doesn't hesitate to berate herself.
"Sure."
Su Jiyai and Qin Feng ate the dishes while chatting. It was another wonderful evening.
"Oh right. I will leave for a mission and this time it may take time." Qin Feng informed.
Su Jiyai suppressed the sadness and asked,
"How long?"
"1 month." Qin Feng said with a serious face.
Su Jiyai was even more sad and this time Qin Feng sensed it too.
He placed his hand on her head and patted her,
"Alright don't be sad, I promise I will try to return soon."
Su Jiyai nodded reluctantly.
After some thought, she decided to take a risk and said,
"Wait for me tomorrow. I want to tell you something."
Qin Feng froze and nodded.
A small smile had appeared on his face.
Su Jiyai happily returned to her dormitory and saw that today the dorm room was particularly lively.
Han Weilin was surrounded by all the dormmates and she was saying something with an excited face.
Su Jiyai didn't want to interrupt, especially when she was finally able to get along with the other dormmates.
However, Han Weilin had different plans. How could she forget her best friend?
"Jiyai!" She called with an excited expression, "Come here!"
Su Jiyai thought for a moment and walked up to her.
"See this." Han Weilin said and suddenly a small fire appeared on her fingertips.
"What!" Su Jiyai was shocked before she was delighted and hugged Han Weilin,
"Congratulations!" Su Jiyai was truly happy for Han Weilin.
Her bestie was trying so hard to awaken a power for the past 2 years and she was finally able to, how couldn't Su Jiyai be not happy for her?
Han Weilin hugged Su Jiyai back with excitement,
"Jiyai, I have finally awakened a superpower! My father would be so proud of me! I will not die as an ordinary human!"
"Hm." Su Jiyai smiled.
"So Weilin will you leave the dorm?" Li Yuan asked in a small voice and everyone fell silent.
Even Han Weilin was stunned.
"What are you saying Yuan, even if Han Weilin awakens a power she has to stay with us. After all, we are friends!" Wang Bao said with confidence.
"Yes! She is our friend. Even if she awakens a superpower she would have to stay with us. In fact, all of us stay together till everyone else awakens a superpower." Li Yuan said with red eyes and a small smile on her face.
She sounded as if she was motivating everyone else.
Han Weilin looked troubled.
Su Jiyai interrupted them and said,
"Why should she stay in the ordinary dorm? She has awakened a superpower, of course, she has to go to the superpower dorm and learn from other ability users and interact with them.
And what do you mean by staying together till we all awaken? I am sure if you and your best friend awaken a superpower, you both will be the first to leave.
You would act as if you want to stay and your best friend will 'convince' you to leave."
"You!" Wang Bao instantly became furious.
"Jiyai I don't mean to force Weilin to stay in the dorm. I just thought that since she is our friend she would stay with us..." Li Yuan said with red eyes.
Xi Ziang couldn't help but defend Li Yuan,
"Hey Jiyai don't be so harsh on Yuan! She only..."
