Chapter 29 Sleep peacefully
The villa had many rooms, and Miao Yin randomly pointed to one for Yan Shuzhou.
The manor's water supply is still running; the solar panels have already prepared hot water for the owners to wash up.
Yan Shuzhou didn't have any clean clothes, but fortunately, Miao Yin had considered this situation when she stocked up on supplies. She found him a large-sized shirt and a cotton coat, as well as two towels, disposable underwear, and a pair of sweatpants, which he could wear for now.
This also reminded Miao Yin that the next time she went out, she should visit a men's clothing store.
After dealing with Yan Shuzhou, she returned to her room, took off her expensive blue dress, which was torn from the continuous battles, and Miao Yin was too lazy to mend it, so she just burned it.
She turned on the tap, and hot water gushed out, the rising steam quickly making the entire bathroom hazy. She poured a packet of hot spring powder into the bathtub and lay down comfortably.
The warm water soaked my whole body, opening up my pores and relaxing all my muscles. My snow-white skin turned a warm pink, dispelling the fatigue of the whole day.
Miao Yin closed her eyes and cleared her mind. She slowly got out of the bathtub when the alarm rang fifteen minutes later.
On a moonlit night in Jingzhou in March, the air was still chilly, with the moonlight soft and the breeze carrying a chill from afar. The small manor was so quiet that only the rustling of the evening wind through the treetops could be heard.
Miao Yin changed into a silk nightgown.
The changes brought about by her special ability have made her body no longer afraid of the cold as before, and she is actually quite comfortable in such temperatures.
Her bed was large, with a snow-white mosquito net hanging above it. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and it smelled faintly of cotton that had been sun-dried.
Miao Yin snuggled into the blankets and turned off the light.
Have a good night's sleep.
……
The next day, she woke up naturally, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, and stretched like a cat before getting up to wash up.
When she came downstairs, Yan Shuzhou had already been sitting in the living room for some time.
"Good morning," she greeted.
"Good morning..." Yan Shuzhou turned his head and saw her in her pajamas. His gaze was caught off guard when he saw her delicate, white collarbone. His face immediately turned red, and he turned his head away in a panic.
Miao Yin didn't laugh at his innocent look. She went straight to the chair that had been pulled out and sat down: "There are ingredients in the refrigerator. Let's make some breakfast."
Yan Shuzhou nodded and got up to go to the kitchen: "Sister, what would you like to eat?"
"A sandwich, please, and a glass of milk."
"it is good."
Yan Shuzhou was also very hungry. He had never been full while trapped in the control room, and he had barely eaten anything yesterday. However, he dared not tell Miao Yin for fear of disturbing her rest, so he had to endure it himself. He did not dare to touch her things on his own when he got up in the morning and waited downstairs.
Fortunately, he often went hungry as a child and is used to it.
He opened the refrigerator and was amazed by the wide variety of ingredients inside.
He hadn't seen so much food in a long time, let alone in this apocalyptic world!
He took out sandwich bread and ham, along with some other ingredients, found a frying pan in the kitchen cabinet, and skillfully began cooking.
Looking at the crackling and popping oil, Yan Shuzhou seemed a little dazed, thinking of his time at the Yan family.
He already knew some basic cooking skills when he was in the orphanage. Later, in order to please his adoptive parents, he secretly studied cooking for a long time, hoping to get a word of praise from them.
That day, he cooked a large meal all by himself, waiting expectantly for their return. It wasn't until sunset that he learned from the housekeeper that they had taken his younger brother to the amusement park that day and had dinner at a high-end restaurant.
That day, Yan Shuzhou sat alone at the dining table for a long time before throwing away all the food, and he never did such a thing again.
Unexpectedly, these are things he will have to do every day today, or even from now on.
He shook his head, no longer wanting to think about those past events.
The sandwiches were ready quickly. Yan Shuzhou brought out Miao Yin's plate and milk, prepared her utensils, and then went to get his own. He was very considerate.
Miao Yin nodded to herself. Not bad, very self-disciplined. Much more obedient than those people in her previous life who would only move when burned. If they could continue to be this diligent and useful in housework, even if their superpowers were a little weak, she could consider keeping them.
The two finished breakfast in a harmonious atmosphere.
Afterwards, Yan Shuzhou also took the initiative to wash the tableware and wipe the table clean.
Miao Yin leaned back on the sofa, her legs crossed, her cascading black hair cascading down, the ends curled into a few lazy waves, making her look casual yet beautiful. The bright sunlight filtering through the gauze window cast a halo around her, making her brown leather stand out even more. She sat there, like a vivid and fragrant classical painting.
"Would you like some tea, sister?" Yan Shuzhou kept in mind what Miao Yin had said at the time.
"The tea is in the cabinet," Miao Yin pointed in the direction.
So Yan Shuzhou diligently brought over the tea set and boiled water to make tea for her.
As the boiling water was poured, a faint aroma of tea wafted out, giving people a sense of tranquility. Miao Yin held the cup in her delicate hand, took a small sip, and the slightly bitter tea soothed her and made her feel much clearer-headed.
After finishing his work, Yan Shuzhou was at a loss for what to do next.
Miao Yin beckoned to him, inviting him to sit next to her.
Yan Shuzhou obediently sat down, but left about two seats behind him.
"Am I a monster?" Miao Yin asked.
“Ah… no…”
Yan Shuzhou dared not say it was because she was wearing pajamas; his snow-white skin was so beautiful that he didn't even dare to look at it. He lowered his head and stammered for a while before moving slightly closer.
Miao Yin didn't press him, and said while swirling her teacup, "Tell me about your special ability."
"My superpower is to summon animals and communicate with them, and command them to do things."
Yan Shuzhou paused, then said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "When I first discovered my superpower, I seemed to sense that it had a name, called the Immortal Kingdom."
The name is quite grand.
"Call your rabbit out so I can see it."
"it is good."
A pink and white rabbit appeared in Yan Shuzhou's palm.
"Is this the same one from yesterday?" Miao Yin lifted the rabbit by its ears, and the little rabbit trembled in the air.
"Yes, as long as the summoned rabbit doesn't die, I can recall it, and it can come out again very quickly next time." Yan Shuzhou was a little nervous.
What capabilities does it have?
"what?"
Yan Shuzhou thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "It... can obey me."
"That's your ability; I'm asking about it."
Yan Shuzhou racked his brains for a while, but couldn't come up with anything. Finally, he managed to come up with the word "eat".
"Are you kidding me?" Miao Yin asked expressionlessly.
Yan Shuzhou dared not speak.
Realizing that the other person truly knew nothing about her superpower, Miao Yin threw the rabbit back into his arms and began to recall her knowledge of summoning abilities from her previous life.
Summoning abilities are generally divided into two main categories: primary control or secondary control.
For example, some people can summon things like weapons or plants. These things do not have their own thoughts and often require subtle control from their master.
Another type is like Yan Shuzhou, whose summoned creatures have their own thoughts and will obey the master's commands. Even without a master, they can act on their own.
In her former team, there was a summoner named Que Song, who was the second type of person. The birds he summoned looked exactly like ordinary birds, and that alone was enough to allow them to share vision and gather intelligence.
This rabbit has a unique appearance, an intelligence like that of a human child, and the ability to communicate. It also possesses its own emotions, so it can't possibly be an ordinary summoned creature. It must have some special abilities.
As the possessor of superpowers, this knowledge should have been directly in Yan Shuzhou's mind, but he is currently completely unaware of it.
Could it be that too many summoned creatures have died, and the resulting death empathy has led to a disorder of superpowers?
Indeed, there have been cases where individuals with special abilities have been unable to use their abilities or have had their abilities damaged due to severe psychological barriers.
Yan Shuzhou lived in an extremely repressive environment for a long time, constantly hiding his true nature and enduring it all. It's not impossible that this resulted in him having incomplete supernatural abilities.
That won't do; it would greatly affect her efficiency in using him.
