After Liang Yan was rescued, he immediately recovered his calm.



He had a cordial conversation with the person in charge of the mission team from A Base. Once discussing with the team members, he decided to have each of the X Squadron members turn in ten crystal nuclei to live in A Base for a period of time to improve their ability level. Their team's current strength was still too weak.



This time their trip to the supermarket ended in a full harvest. Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen’er had 86 cores in their bag, while Luo Zi Lin’s dimension had 130 cores. Excluding the 60 nuclei that needed to be handed over to A Base, there were still one hundred and fifty-six crystal nuclei remaining.



According to the contribution of this mission, Liang Yan got 35 crystals, Nie Zhen'er got 30 crystals, Luan Qing Xiao 28 crystals and Luo Zi Lin 28 crystals.



Zhang Yao Xue was responsible for protecting Jiang Yue Bai. After completing his mission, he was divided 25 cores whereas Jiang Yue Bai didn’t participate in the mission and only received ten crystal nuclei.



The people from A Base came by car. When they returned back, they needed to pick up several other people from a few more points, so there was no extra space to carry them.



Fortunately, their squadron also had a car. They followed A Base’s car back to the apartment. Liang Yan announced, "Bring along all useful items. We won't be coming back again, don't leave anything behind."



Liang Yan smiled at the A Base’s people, "Thank you for your help."



The bearded leader of the A Base’s squadron candidly waved his hand, "No need to be so polite"



"Then I’ll head up to pack things first. Brother Hu, you guys take a seat and rest for a bit."



Liang Yan walked up the stairs. Using his peripheral vision, he caught a glimpse of Nie Zhen'er's clothes in Luan Qing Xiao’s room as he passed her door.



Liang Yan's expression froze: When did Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er become so familiar with each other?



Before he could think too much about it, Luo Zi Lin came out of her room. When she saw him, she immediately ran over and hugged his arm, "Ah Yan, were you waiting for me to pack up for you? Let's go, I'm done packing mine up."



《The Apocalypse Leader’s Little Sweetheart》was a rare sweet web novel from the perspective of the male protagonist. The book uses a lot of ink to describe the mental activities of the male protagonist Liang Yan, who appeared masculine while he was still naive and innocent in the love field.



Luo Zi Lin felt Liang Yan's slightly tense body. She smiled and hugged Liang Yan's arms even tighter, "Ah Yan, snap out of your daze. Let's hurry up, we don't want to let them wait too long."



Liang Yan's arm turned numb, and he felt  the soft things attached to his arm were a woman's most powerful weapon. Currently, his mind was in chaos. He couldn't even concentrate on using his abilities, let alone think about Nie Zhen'er and Luan Qing Xiao. He was pushed into the room by Luo Zi Lin in a stupor.



Once Nie Zhen'er and Luan Qing Xiao returned to the room, Nie Zhen'er put her crystal cores and Luan Qing Xiao's crystal cores into a backpack. The weight of more than one hundred crystal nuclei made the bag droop. Nie Zhen'er’s strength was exceptionally strong, and she easily slung it behind her back.



Luan Qing Xiao sorted Nie Zhen'er's clothes into her backpack.



After the two finished packing up, Nie Zhen'er said, "Qing Xiao, you haven't told me why the captain can date with the team members."



Luan Qing Xiao replied in a logical tone, "Captain is the boss of our squadron. The rules of the team are set by him, and have no binding force on him. The captain can not only date, but he can date anyone he wants as long as that person is willing."



"Ah, is that so?" Hearing Luan Qing Xiao speak so eloquently, Nie Zhen'er was rather convinced.



"Then when we get to A Base, can I still live in the same room as you?" Nie Zhen'er asked worriedly.



Last night, she discovered that even if there was no sunshine, she can still sleep comfortably next to Luan Qing Xiao by smelling the fragrance on her body.



Luan Qing Xiao responded, "Don't worry, I’ll find a way."



Walking up to Nie Zhen'er’s front, she stretched out her hand and gently pinched Nie Zhen'er's chin to lift her small porcelain white face up. She slowly leaned into her and chuckled, "You want to sleep with me this badly? Are you starting to like me a little bit? Eh?"



Her sultry voice made Nie Zhen'er's scalp turn numb. She couldn't help but redden her ears, "No-no." Ah, ah, ah, why is Qing Xiao always tempting her? She almost couldn't uphold her resolve.



"Then I have to work harder, and I will treat you twice as nice in the future. Zhen’er, won’t you love me?" Luan Qing Xiao furrowed her brows and said pitifully with watery eyes.



Nie Zhen'er stared at her in a daze and nodded blankly.



"Then I’ll treat this as your answer." Luan Qing Xiao smiled and kissed Nie Zhen'er's nose before releasing the hand holding her chin.



Nie Zhen'er frustratingly touched her itchy nose kissed by Luan Qing Xiao, thinking that she seemed to be unable to refuse Luan Qing Xiao anymore. Every time she would be led by her nose by her.



Moreover, Qing Xiao really is quite touchy towards her. She’ll tell her later that she can’t be like this since they aren’t together yet.



She didn't know why, towards Luan Qing Xiao, she just can't immediately make up her mind to refuse her. Whenever she wanted to say something, she would push it until the next time.



In fact, it was perfectly fine to say right now. However, no matter how she thought about it, she found she liked Luan Qing Xiao's touch very much. What if Luan Qing Xiao stopped touching her?



【Ding! The female lead’s love value is at 10%. Host dada, keep up the good work~】



Luan Qing Xiao cocked her eyebrows: Only ten percent?



Nie Zhen'er's love value has risen only so little after being teased by her so many times.



It seems that she hasn't done enough. She really needs to up her game.



The two of them each carried a bag. When they left the room, they found that they were the fastest pair done. They could only stand in the corridor waiting for their other teammates to finish.



Jiang Yue Bai and Zhang Yao Xue came out two minutes later.



"Zi Lin isn’t done yet?" Jiang Yue Bai questioned.



Because of her space-related power, Luo Zi Lin was usually the first to finish packing up. Today, all four of them have come out, yet there was no movement from her.



"I- I didn't see her." Nie Zhen'er said.



"I'll go check up on her." Luo Zi Lin's room was at the very end of the corridor. Jiang Yue Bai walked up to Luo Zi Lin's door and knocked on the door. She noticed the door opened automatically, since it wasn’t locked at all. She pushed open the door and entered. There was no one inside.



Nie Zhen'er saw the strange expression on Jiang Yue Bai when she came back, and asked, "Yue Bai, is Zi Lin packed up yet?"



Jiang Yue Bai frowned, "Zi Lin isn’t in her room."



"Maybe she’s already downstairs?" Zhang Yao Xue guessed.



At this time, Liang Yan's door opened and Luo Zi Lin's coquettish voice came from inside, "Ah Yan, don’t you think it’s extremely convenient to have me here? How about I help you pack up your things in the future?"



Jiang Yue Bai looked surprised, "So Zi Lin went to help Captain to pack his things up."



Zhang Yao Xue was also puzzled, "When did Zi Lin and Captain develop such a good relationship?"



They have been speculating here for a long time, but never expected Luo Zi Lin to go into Liang Yan's room.



Since Jiang Yue Bai and Zhang Yao Xue had been waiting outside the supermarket the entire time, they didn't know that Luan Qing Xiao and the others saw Liang Yan and Luo Zi Lin hugging each other when they got there to save them.



Luan Qing Xiao exchanged a glance with Nie Zhen'er silently. Suddenly her face turned grim as she walked in front of Liang Yan and Luo Zi Lin, and said coldly, "Everyone has been waiting for you guys for a long time, yet you guys are here flirting..." She turned her gaze at Luo Zi Lin, then she uttered bluntly, "This isn’t the time for you to seduce a man, I hope there won’t be a repeat!"



Luan Qing Xiao's words were unrelenting, causing Luo Zi Lin's face to turn white all of a sudden. She glanced at Liang Yan with tears in her eyes.



Liang Yan quickly peeked at Nie Zhen'er, wondering why he had a guilty conscience, as if he had betrayed Nie Zhen'er. As a matter of fact, the two hadn’t developed any other relationship at all except for being classmates and friends in both worlds.



Liang Yan took his arm out of Luo Zi Lin's embrace. This incident was indeed Luo Zi Lin’s and his fault. Luo Zi Lin did something to him in the room just now, which wasted everybody’s time.



Liang Yan pursed his lips, "There won’t be a next time, but we’ll be fined for this time too. Luo Zi Lin and I will give up five crystal nuclei each. When we get to A Base, if there is any place we need to spend it at, we can use these ten cores."



Luan Qing Xiao nodded, "Then it settled." After speaking, she raised her chin haughty and left downstairs.



Nie Zhen'er and the other two hurriedly followed behind her, only Liang Yan and Luo Zi Lin remained upstairs. Luo Zi Lin stared at Luan Qing Xiao's back bitterly, thinking no matter how arrogant you are, you’ll still be killed by the person you liked in the end.



Liang Yan turned to Luo Zi Lin, whose complexion was shifting, and stated solemnly, "Luo Zi Lin, dating is not allowed within the squadron. Make sure to keep your distance from me in the future. Otherwise, I can only ask you to leave the team."



Luo Zi Lin's eyes widened in astonishment, "When was this a rule? Who said dating was forbidden? I have never heard of this before."



"Right now, I said it." Once Liang Yan finished speaking, he stepped downstairs.
