Chapter 58: Let Me Tell You a Secret

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It wasn’t easy for Lin Sijia to have the opportunity to move in. How could she leave?

Moreover, although Ye Xingchen’s request was a little overboard, Lin Sijia thought about it and felt that Ye Xingchen’s request was very reasonable. After all, she was just a neighbor that he didn’t know.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” She nodded.

Lin Sijia’s obedient attitude made Ye Xingchen very satisfied.

As expected, Lin Sijia was indeed a smart person. If it were anyone else, they might have jumped up and accused Ye Xingchen of invading her privacy.

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Sijia, and his tone was gentler than before.

“You’re very smart. It’ll be much easier for us to get along in the future. You should also understand that you were the one who drugged them. In the minds of Zhang Yi and the others, you’re already a grasshopper tied to the same rope as me. Even if you have a chance to escape, you might be killed by Zhang Yi and the others.”

“Doctor Lin, you can only rely on me to survive.”

Ye Xingchen’s lips curled up as he curled his finger at Lin Sijia.

“Now, I’m going to tell you a secret.”

Lin Sijia had goosebumps all over her body. She was afraid that Ye Xingchen would kill her the next second after he finished speaking.

“I-should 1 know? I-I don’t have to know either.”

Everyone knew that only dead people could keep secrets for their entire lives. After seeing so many corpses piled up in Zhang Yi’s house and seeing that Zhang Yi’s reward was actually human flesh… Lin Sijia had only one thought.

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Sijia’s expression as if she was facing a great enemy and found it funny. He couldn’t help but chuckle. “Telling you this secret is only to ensure your loyalty to me.”

“I’m not afraid that you’ll leak the secret. After all, no matter who you tell this secret to, they won’t be able to threaten me.”

“No one knows what caused this heavy snow, but 1 know that it will stop after a month.”

“Do you know what rebirth is? Do you believe that there is rebirth in this world?”

Lin Sijia blinked her eyes and looked at Ye Xingchen in confusion. She felt that he was crazy.

Ye Xingchen was too lazy to explain. He stretched his hand into the air and suddenly, a bag of toast appeared in his hand.

“I’ve been reborn and gained the ability to create a space. The bag of bread you see now was taken out of my space with my mind.”

Ye Xingchen pushed the bread in front of Lin Sijia and continued.

“It’s unbelievable, right? 1 thought so too at first.”

“But as you can see, everything I said is true.”

“My space exists independently of this world. All my resources are placed in my space. All the food you can see is only a small part of what I take out from my space.”

“Although my house has seven floors, I don’t store any supplies here.”

“Therefore, if 1 die, my space will disappear with me.”

“As long as I’m alive, you can follow me and enjoy things that others can’t enjoy now, understand?”

Of course, Ye Xingchen knew that Lin Sijia was a kind person. However, this was not enough for Ye Xingchen to trust her completely.

He only believed in benefits, not human nature.

Only by binding their interests could their cooperation continue.

Lin Sijia was stunned. Ye Xingchen’s words had overturned her understanding of more than 20 years.

She stared at the bag of bread in front of her and swallowed her saliva. However, without Ye Xingchen’s permission, she did not dare to touch it.

“Eat, this bag of bread is for you.”

After getting permission, Lin Sijia took the bag of bread with trembling hands and opened it to eat in big bites.

She heard and understood, but she subconsciously felt that it was ridiculous.

There was actually an alternate dimension in this world?

“Is what you said true…? Can I see what the space you’re talking about looks like?”

Lin Sijia almost burst into tears as she chewed on the soft bread. God knows how long it had been since she had eaten such delicious food.

“Not now, but maybe in the future, I will let you experience my space. Alright, eat slowly.”

Ye Xingchen pointed at Lin Sijia again as if he were performing magic. A bottle of milk appeared in front of her out of thin air.

“I don’t trust you, so you have to find a way to gain my trust.”

“In the future, you’ll be in charge of things like washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning. Be more self-aware and don’t make me remind you.”

“I don’t keep idle people. If you can’t provide enough value, I can replace you at any time, understand?”

Lin Sijia’s mouth was full as she nodded at Ye Xingchen.

Lin Sijia swallowed the food in her mouth and suddenly didn’t want to delve into the truth of these things. Even if Ye Xingchen was lying to her for fun, at least she was warm and full now.

After wolfing down the food, Lin Sijia sat there and wiped her mouth in embarrassment. Ye Xingchen had conjured something out of thin air twice in a row. Even if he was lying to her, at least Ye Xingchen was really good to her.

This bag of bread was enough for a family of five to eat for a week.

Ye Xingchen gave her the whole bag and even handed her a bottle of milk.

Seeing Lin Sijia sit up straight after eating her fill, Ye Xingchen slowly spoke.

“Do you know why I only helped you out of so many people who asked me for help?”

Lin Sijia pursed her lips.

“Because I’m a doctor.”

“If what you said is true, then you really don’t lack supplies or medicine.”

“But you can’t guarantee that you won’t get hurt forever, and you can’t guarantee that you won’t get sick forever, so you need me.”

Ye Xingchen nodded. “That’s one of the reasons. You’re right. I can’t guarantee that my body won’t have any problems in this apocalypse.”

Ye Xingchen leaned back and looked at Lin Sijia’s delicate collarbone. “Then do you know what the second reason is?”

Lin Sijia paused. After receiving Ye Xingchen’s gaze, she thought for a few minutes before she reacted.

Lin Sijia understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

“Because I am a woman.”

Ye Xingchen didn’t lack anything, but he was alone after all. He had mental entertainment, but he also needed physical entertainment. Lin Sijia could satisfy this.

Moreover, Lin Sijia’s conditions weren’t bad..
