The system placed its hand on her shoulder.

"I'll answer that question next time. If you don't wake up soon, some people will think you're going to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently pushed her, sending her out of the system space.

As consciousness returned, Xu Wan opened her eyes.

When their eyes met, she was momentarily stunned.

"Who are you?"

Ye Bai didn't speak, but his gaze remained fixed on her, as if trying to determine whether she really didn't remember him.

Just as he was about to tell her his name for the third time, she blinked, as if she had just remembered.

"Ye Bai, you are Ye Bai."

He nodded, placed the roasted meat in his hand on the stone table in front of him, and turned to look at her.

The little female had her eyes closed, but the expression on her face kept changing, as if she was talking to someone.

But apart from her, he couldn't sense the presence of any other living creature here.

"Who are you talking to?"

Xu Wan's heart skipped a beat, and her fingers curled up behind her back.

"Can't you just think about things?"

Ye Bai glanced at her but didn't press further. "Let's eat."

She glanced at the half-eaten, glistening roasted lamb, then at Ye Bai's serious expression. "Should I eat it?"

Seeing him nod, she took a deep breath.

"Ye Bai, my body hasn't recovered yet, so I can't eat barbecue at a time like this."

She made a tearing motion, "Even if you're going to eat it, you should tear the meat into small pieces."

Otherwise, did he want her to perform a scene of a rabbit devouring a sheep?

Even if she were Godzilla Rabbit, she couldn't tear this half-slice of lamb apart.

Ye Bai frowned. Do females need so many steps to eat?

He paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Now that you've recovered, what would you like to eat?"

At least meat should be ruled out first; actually, she'd prefer porridge, but the conditions in Dark Night City...

She looked at Ye Bai, "Do you have any fruit?"

"Fruit?"

The fruit is only juicy and doesn't keep you full at all. She's still weak, how can she only eat this?

"no."

He stepped forward. "You tell me, I'll do it."

Xu Wan understood; as long as she told him what she wanted to eat, he would make it for her.

She thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Lean meat porridge?"

Ye Bai frowned, and was about to ask what it was when the little female in front of him rattled off a bunch of names he had never heard of before.

"Steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose..."

She nearly choked on her words after saying them all in one breath, "Cough cough cough..."

Once she recovered, she looked up at Ye Bai, who was clearly out of commission, and covered her mouth, unable to suppress her laughter.

Being silly, it seems like speaking no more than three words isn't so boring anymore.

Ye Bai, who always thought he was a pretty good cook, finally managed to utter three words after a long pause: "...I can't."

He only understood "bear" and "deer," but the little female... shouldn't eat beastmen.

Seeing her shoulders trembling as she tried to suppress her laughter, he belatedly realized what was happening.

"Intentional?"

Xu Wan smiled and nodded and then shook her head, "I want to eat fruit."

She pointed to her throat, "It doesn't feel good. Eating some fruit will help."

Ye Bai looked at her. "You can heal?"

She didn't know what kind of person the other person was, so she couldn't reveal her identity to him directly.

She nodded, and said ambiguously, "I've studied some shamanic medicine."

"Wait, go find the fruit."

Once Ye Bai's footsteps had faded away, she walked to the door, tentatively reaching out to poke at the barrier in front of her.

A slight, electric shock tingled through my fingertips, but there was no electricity here, so...

"So his special ability is lightning control."

Du Yu's special ability is wind, no wonder, with the two of them working together, Dark Night City is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.

She walked to the window and looked outside.

Du Yu didn't know where he had taken her; it was very high. If she wanted to get out, the only way was to have a flying winged beastman take her.

The only winged beastman she knew was Du Yu, so if she wanted to get out, she had to ask him for help.

They couldn't get out, and they didn't have the strength to run.

She simply rolled the stone stool in the house to the window, sat on it, and closed her eyes to bask in the sun.

The warm sunlight fell on her shoulders, and she brought up the system panel for a glance.

Looking at the remaining seven days of health, she sighed helplessly.

However, seeing that Zhu You and the other two had all recovered to their healthy state, she felt a little better.

Scrolling down further, she discovered that in addition to Du Yu and the three beastmen, there was a new spot.

Name and status unknown; the only visible information is the affinity rating: [6/8].

"Chief, what does 6/8 mean?"

For other people, whether it's favorability or affection, the displayed values ​​are the results; this is the first time she's seen these numerical values.

You'll find out then.

She rolled her eyes. "It's always 'whenever it comes.' Can't you just give me a definite answer?"

At least tell her who this person is.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to see Du Yu now. She can't just stay here and wait for her life points to run out, can she?

The system remained silent for a moment.

[Xu Wan, all I can say is that if you want to unlock more, you have to have physical contact with the other person.]

"Physical contact?"

Since arriving in Dark Night City, she has only seen one living person, Ye Bai; the system practically told her his name.

"How can we have physical contact?"

She didn't think that the physical contact the system referred to meant simple contact like a handshake.

She remembered that before the system notified her that Du Yu was her target, she had grabbed Du Yu by the neck and slapped him, and he seemed to have put his arm around her waist.

So it seems... "a hug should be okay."

When Ye Bai returned, he saw her leaning against the window and a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes, thinking she was trying to escape.

He put the fruit he had picked aside, walked up to her, and looked down at her.

"It's very high, you'll die."

Xu Wan nodded. "I know, I just want to get some sun so I can recover faster."

Convinced that she didn't seem to be lying, he turned to the side and pointed to the fruit he had brought back. "Which one do you want?"

"Let's eat the red one."

Watching her take small bites of the fruit.

Ye Bai wondered if he should cut the fruit into smaller pieces for her next time.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he paused for a moment.

Next time? He actually thought about having a next time with the little female?

Another voice emerged in my mind, tinged with schadenfreude.

[Tsk, Ye Bai, if Du Yu knew you had feelings for his little female, would he...?]

Ye Bai frowned: [Shut up.]

After she finished eating, Xu Wan pointed to the animal skin bed and said, "I want to rest."

Ye Bai nodded, and just as he turned to leave, his finger was hooked.

The little female looked up at him, her sea-blue eyes blinking.

"What's up?"

She suddenly raised her hand, "I'm out of strength, I need you to carry me over."
