"I'm sorry for making you laugh at me," Jiang Wenyu sniffled, her eyes resembling those of a red-eyed rabbit, looking extremely pitiful.
Seeing a lady in such a distressed state, out of courtesy, Yan Qing and Jiang Ming had refrained from watching her through the rearview mirror since she started crying. Even when handing her a tissue, Yan Qing didn't turn around but simply extended his hand.
Yan Qing comforted her, "You know that the age gap between humans and Ability Users is an insurmountable chasm. So why did you fall in love with him? Besides, this man is so fickle; he has married another woman and has children. He probably won't even remember you by the time he dies. Don't waste your emotions on someone who is no longer here; he isn't worth it."
Jiang Wenyu shook her head and said, "You don't understand. I never thought about being with him. I'm just glad he's doing well now, with a happy family and a fulfilling life."
Yan Qing frowned and glanced at her. "If you think he's doing well, then why are you crying? A woman's tears are precious; you shouldn't cry over such a man anymore."
Hearing Yan Qing's words, Jiang Wenyu smiled shyly through her tears. "Thank you for comforting me. I know he's doing well, and I won't cry for him again. This will be the last time."
Jiang Ming had driven into the bustling city center. He looked at the food stalls along the street, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. He turned to Yan Qing and asked, "Want to grab something to eat? You've been driving all night; you must be tired."
"Sure, let's eat something. We need to take a break," Yan Qing nodded in agreement and then turned to Jiang Wenyu in the backseat. "Do you want anything?"
Jiang Wenyu replied, "I'm a Plant-type Ability User; just getting me something to drink will be enough."
"Alright," Jiang Ming said. "We'll go buy some food; you stay in the car for now."
After parking the car, Jiang Ming and Yan Qing got out to buy food. It wasn't that they didn't allow Jiang Wenyu to get out; it was just that in her current state, it wasn't convenient for her to be seen by others.
Soon after, about ten minutes later, Jiang Ming and Yan Qing returned with several bags of takeout.
Yan Qing handed Jiang Wenyu a cup of milk tea. "Try this; it's a new flavor and quite delicious. I think you'll like it."
Jiang Wenyu stared at the milk tea in the bag, momentarily confused. Yan Qing suddenly realized that she might not know how to consume this drink.
In front of Jiang Wenyu, Yan Qing tore open the straw wrapper, inserted it into the milk tea, and held it up to Jiang Ming, who had both hands resting on the dashboard.
Jiang Ming paused for a moment before taking a sip of the milk tea and swallowing it with a satisfied gulp.
Understanding what to do now, Jiang Wenyu mimicked him and took her first sip of milk tea.
Yan Qing and Jiang Ming had rented a car right after work yesterday and drove all night from Z City to N City. Since Jiang Wenyu's identity had not yet been entered into the global information database, they chose the most reliable method to avoid detection: they simply "transported" her directly.
From morning until afternoon, after switching cars several times during their eight-hour journey, they finally brought Jiang Wenyu to Zone Z just in time for the last hour of operations.
Under the resentful gaze of the Human Resources Department, Yan Qing registered information and issued identity IDs for both Jiang Ming and Jiang Wenyu.
Considering Jiang Wenyu's limited understanding of modern society, Yan Qing thought of the "Belt and Road Initiative" policy. He assigned Jiang Wenyu to Drui Feng, hoping he would teach her the basics of modern society and the requirements for the A Rank examination.
Meanwhile, he took Jiang Ming under his wing for training. As a participant with a Double S Rank as an Ability User, Jiang Ming was likely to be the biggest dark horse in this examination. Yan Qing believed that as long as he taught Jiang Ming some offensive techniques and teamwork strategies, their team would surely pass.
However, after just one day of rigorous training, Drui Feng approached Yan Qing to complain that he no longer wanted to train Jiang Wenyu. He felt there was no common ground between him and the girl, and it was too exhausting to communicate.
The main issue was the significant personality gap between them. Drui Feng had a tendency to bombard Jiang Wenyu with modern societal concepts that were quite shocking even by contemporary standards, while she was just a playful child. Yan Qing could see this, but Jiang Wenyu might not have understood it at all.
By the end of the day, she viewed Drui Feng as a frivolous person and refused to engage with him.
In desperation, Yan Qing found some videos that explained the differences between modern society and the early days of nation-building and sent them to Jiang Wenyu that night.
As an agent, Jiang Wenyu was undoubtedly successful in her offensive techniques and combat strategies. Once Yan Qing clarified the importance of teamwork for the team competition, Jiang Wenyu immediately grasped the concept.
In the following days, Jiang Wenyu quickly absorbed knowledge while maintaining a distance between her desk and Drui Feng's with Yan Qing and Jiang Ming acting as buffers.
"Am I really that unlikable?" Drui Feng muttered in disbelief as he watched Jiang Wenyu extend her arm to push her workstation further away from him.
Jiang Wenyu shot him a significant eye roll from where she stood.
Days passed in this manner, with time dwindling before the helicopter was scheduled to pick them up.
One evening, while cooking dinner at home wearing an apron, Jiang Ming received several messages on his phone that buzzed in his pocket.
His gentle expression instantly turned sharp as he coldly retrieved his phone from his apron pocket. Unlocking it, he saw a message from someone.
He Shou Wu: "Boss, we’ve arrived in Z City."
Jiang Ming: "Get lost."
He Shou Wu: "Come on, Boss! We received intel that an Ability User from Cross Society is planning to launch a terrorist attack in Z City."
Jiang Ming: "Where did you get this information?"
He Shou Wu: "From an undercover source. It's absolutely reliable."
Jiang Ming paused for a moment, then said, "Give me the last known location they were seen in Z City."
He Shou Wu replied, "Alright, I’ll check it now."
The sound of the door opening announced Yan Qing's return.
Jiang Ming quickly turned off his phone screen and began to bring out the warm dishes one by one, placing them on the dining table in front of Yan Qing. He greeted him cheerfully, "You’re back! Dinner is ready."
As Yan Qing looked at the table filled with four dishes and a soup, he felt a moment of daze. He sat down at the table and exchanged glances with Jiang Ming, a faint smile appearing on his distinctly featured face.
"Are you the girl from the rice field? You love cooking so much."
Jiang Ming chuckled. With his handsome looks and bright smile, he would have surely attracted quite a few girls if it weren't for the oversized red apron he was wearing.
Unfortunately, that giant apron really spoiled the view.
Jiang Ming wasn’t offended; he raised an eyebrow at Yan Qing’s teasing and playfully responded, "If I’m the girl from the rice field, then what are you? The farmer who saved me?"
A smirk appeared at the corner of Yan Qing's mouth. He realized that Jiang Ming could be quite amusing at times, able to keep up with his banter.
