111: Chapter 111 is not some unscrupulous boss
"I have a driver's license, but I've never actually been on the road."
After Su Miaomiao answered truthfully, Ye Qingqing looked at Li Qingshan again.
"I just got my license..." Li Qingshan felt a bit guilty as he spoke. In truth, he hadn't actually gotten it yet—he was still one subject short. However, he had an intuition that Ye Qingqing was evaluating their usefulness.
Ye Qingqing nodded, thinking it was quite good. If both of them had licenses, things would be much easier; at least she'd have drivers from now on.
It would no longer be just Ye Qingqing driving alone.
Ye Qingqing saw the two of them still standing there in a daze, staring at the two bottles of mineral water at their feet as if their eyes were about to fall out.
She picked up her tea and took another sip.
"Drink up. If you behave yourselves, I can take you with me."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan and Su Miaomiao were somewhat tempted, but their reason told them that this woman, Ye Qingqing, was not simple.
What if... something had been added to the water? They wouldn't know.
Seeing that the two still weren't moving, Ye Qingqing lost her patience.
"Don't worry. You know how precious water is right now; I wouldn't waste it by putting things in it. I drink it myself, too."
After Ye Qingqing finished speaking, a bottle of mineral water appeared in her hand. She opened it and took a sip right in front of them.
Li Qingshan and Su Miaomiao's eyes widened as they watched the scene in disbelief.
Su Miaomiao's eyes immediately welled up with tears from the fright.
It looked as if she was going to burst into tears the next second.
Her legs were also trembling uncontrollably.
Ye Qingqing looked at Su Miaomiao with a hint of disdain.
This girl was too timid; she might not be up to the task.
"Relax, there's nothing wrong with the water. This is my Superpower."
This was the first time Li Qingshan and Su Miaomiao had ever heard of such a thing as a Superpower.
As soon as Ye Qingqing finished speaking, a long saber instantly appeared in her hand, pointed directly at Su Miaomiao's neck.
Su Miaomiao was so terrified she almost lost her voice.
But when she saw the look in Ye Qingqing's eyes, she immediately stifled her sound.
"Like I said, if I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't have lived this long."
Ye Qingqing retracted the long saber into her Space. With her arms crossed and her legs perched up, she looked at the two before her with an arrogant air.
Li Qingshan and Su Miaomiao's hearts were in their throats; Su Miaomiao, in particular, looked as if she had lost her soul.
Just as Ye Qingqing thought the two were about to faint from fear, Li Qingshan unexpectedly reached down and grabbed the mineral water bottle at his feet.
He began to gulp it down.
He downed the entire bottle in one go.
Seeing Li Qingshan's actions, Su Miaomiao followed suit without a second thought.
She always felt that following Li Qingshan's lead could never be wrong.
After finishing, Li Qingshan originally wanted to smash the bottle onto the ground, but he forced himself to refrain. Holding the empty mineral water bottle, he looked at Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow; she now held a higher opinion of Li Qingshan.
"What? Want more?"
Li Qingshan hadn't had a satisfying drink of water in a long time. At this moment, he was still catching his breath, his chest heaving violently.
His face was slightly flushed, and his expression looked very excited.
"Since you have this Ability, Big Boss, you naturally wouldn't deign to kill small fry like us."
"Therefore, I believe you aren't a narrow-minded person. Besides, you even asked if we could drive."
"Big Boss, don't worry. I don't have many other skills, but since I've drunk your water, I'm your man. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."
Standing to the side, Su Miaomiao had just finished her water when she heard Li Qingshan's bold declaration.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say and could only nod vigorously.
"Me too, me too."
Looking at Li Qingshan, Ye Qingqing felt a flicker of interest. This person was smart and observant—at least better than many people in the Post-Apocalyptic World.
This was exactly the kind of partner she needed.
As for Su Miaomiao, she at least knew medical skills; regarding other things, her only virtue was her lack of schemes.
In the Post-Apocalyptic World, a simpleton could also be a good partner, provided she didn't talk or try to think during a fight.
Ye Qingqing clapped her hands. "Fine. Since you've said so, I'll take you two on as my underlings."
"However, let me tell you the hard truth first. If you ever have second thoughts... then I..."
After Ye Qingqing spoke, the long saber appeared in her hand again. Only this time, it wasn't held against Su Miaomiao's neck, but against Li Qingshan's.
Ye Qingqing was incredibly fast. Li Qingshan hadn't even seen how she made her move before he felt a cold sensation against his neck.
Looking at the long saber at his throat, Li Qingshan's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.
"Big Boss, as you can see, the two of us are powerless. Other than following your orders, there's nothing else we can do."
After retracting the long saber, Ye Qingqing looked at Li Qingshan and Su Miaomiao again.
"Go take a shower in that bathroom. You're a bit smelly."
Hearing this, Li Qingshan and Su Miaomiao looked embarrassed, but they couldn't help but feel a secret joy.
They hadn't even had enough water to drink, let alone to bathe.
To be able to shower while following this Big Boss... Li Qingshan and Su Miaomiao were momentarily stunned.
"Su... Su Miaomiao, right? You go first. Don't worry about saving water; get yourself clean."
After Ye Qingqing finished speaking, she handed Su Miaomiao a set of clean clothes.
Looking at the soft fabric in her hands, Su Miaomiao's eyes filled with disbelief.
However, she wasn't slow in heading to the bathroom.
After all, being able to take a proper shower was a dream; Su Miaomiao was a medical student and was usually very fond of cleanliness.
If not for the circumstances, she would have wanted to shower eighty times a day.
Now that there was free bathwater, Su Miaomiao felt that even if it were a trap, she would walk into it willingly.
However, Li Qingshan's thoughts were different from Su Miaomiao's.
After all, it was impossible for a stranger to be so kind to you, especially in the Post-Apocalyptic World.
Although Li Qingshan didn't know what Ye Qingqing was planning, he never let his guard down.
How could Ye Qingqing not know this?
She simply chose to ignore it. After all, her current actions did look very much like a trap.
Only a fool wouldn't be suspicious.
Ye Qingqing was also speechless. If these two knew the stock in her Space, they probably wouldn't think this way.
After all, the supplies in Ye Qingqing's Space were enough for her to live comfortably for this lifetime and even the next.
Therefore, she didn't care at all about this small consumption of resources.
Once the two had finished cleaning up, Ye Qingqing even gave each of them a lunch box.
It was a standard meal of three dishes and a soup. Since she was using their labor, Ye Qingqing wasn't some black-hearted boss.
What should be given, Ye Qingqing could still afford to give.
