XG 143 - Do I need to 'die' before my father finally looks at me?

"Do you need my help with anything?" Chen Yibo suddenly thought.

"No. We have enough hands for now. But you haven't had a good rest lately." Chen YiWen rubbed Chen Yibo's head, messing up his sweaty hair. It was getting long and would need to be trimmed again.

Wong Xue Guo grabbed the towel that was moving all over her face. "I can do it myself."

"Get enough rest." Letting go of the towel, Chin Chun stood up and straightened his clothing. "I still have something that needs my attention."

"Sorry for the trouble," Wong Xue Guo apologized.

"You are my Godsister. It's only right for me to be concerned about your wellbeing." Chin Chun smiled. "I will look forward to what extent your ability could do."

From what he had seen, Chin Chun already figured out Wong Xue Guo's ability was not as simple as shadow manipulation.

"Me too. Thank you for coming, elder brother." Smiling with her pale face, Wong Xue Guo truly looks like a pitiable damsel.

After Chin Chun left with Chen YiWen, Chen Yibo helped Wong Xue Guo into her room and let Nana help her to change into her pyjamas. After that was done, Nana and Smoker went to find some food since Wong Xue Guo said she was hungry. The mess from the fallen pineapple can also need to be dealt with.

"I must have frightened you quite a bit today," Wong Xue Guo laughed lightly.

"Can you call me whenever you want to test your ability?"

Wong Xue Guo was surprised at his request. "You are that scared? Alright, I will have you watch whenever I use my ability."

The tightness around his eyebrow loosens. "I apologize for being difficult."

"... I actually like that," Wong Xue Guo admitted, her gaze unable to look straight. Currently, in her weak state filled with languid, she found her mouth was rather honest but made no effort to zip her mouth shut.

Nana came back with plain onigiri with only seaweed wrap as its companion. As they were in Crocus country where many citizens prefer eating rice, they found more rice and noodles.

They could also expect there would be more vegetables and fruits compared to meat in the coming menu contributed by a beta volunteer of the booster shot method. He had the ability to create water that could boost the growth of plants. He quickly became the gardeners' favourite child. But the only disadvantage was he could only produce 600ml every twelve hours.

Despite the limit, it could still shorten their production time, much to the food department's joy.

After she finished eating three onigiris, she forced Chen Yibo to eat the rest. "Do you think I didn't notice you are still hungry? Men have higher metabolism so you should have more appetite than I do."

Yet Chen Yibo always eats the same portion as hers. Did he not think his action would indirectly mock her for having an appetite like a guy?

Not wanting to upset her, not that he knew he already did, Chen Yibo obediently finished the rest of the rice ball.

The three onigiris helped her regain some of her energy, but her head still felt rather heavy. With a night of good sleep, it should disappear, so she did not protest and let Chen Yibo watch her get onto the bed.

"Are you going to start activating your gene tomorrow? I want to watch."

"Okay. I will come to get you tomorrow."
