Hint

(I vented a bit earlier, and as an author, I shouldn't bring this negativity to the readers. But I found out that many readers still support me, so I'm quite happy. I'll add another chapter at 10 PM as a way of thanking everyone.)

"Finally, I can go home and eat rice made by Little Pufferfish..." Xiao He slumped down in the car like Ge You.

"Hey, move over a bit, there's no room left for me," Ye Wanqing said coquettishly, frowning, then poked his cheek. "You called me 'Little Pufferfish' again..."

However, she was in a great mood now and didn't want to dwell on these minor details. This was not only because Xiao He had fully recovered, but also because of this "Beneficial Virus."

"Hehe, I don't have to worry about gaining weight anymore." Ye Wanqing thought happily to herself, then glanced at Xiao He: "I'm getting thinner and more beautiful, so Old Xiao should like me more and more, right? Then he'll confess to me..."

Thinking of this, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but feel overjoyed: Hmph, I won't rush to agree to him then, I'll keep him in suspense!

"You've really had a hard time this time," Li Zhiqiang said with a wink and a smile from the driver's seat.

"It was really tough; I almost thought I was going to die," Xiao He sighed. "To be precise, I should say I already died once."

Even now, recalling that "afterlife," Xiao He still feels a bit uneasy, but also a little curious: he had already touched that wall; if he had broken through it, would he have been resurrected?

Although he had narrowly escaped death, Xiao He was still very happy that he could contribute to the development of medicine, and he felt that using his abilities in this way was more meaningful.

One day, your parents or your wife will get sick, and that's when the Miracle Factor will come in handy.

"Anyway, go back and relax for a few days. Xiao Man has taken care of everything else for you," Li Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"Sometimes I think Sister Man is quite scary, like she can see through everything..." Ye Wanqing frowned.

"She majored in human behavior and criminal psychology in college and even got a master's degree. She can see right through even psychopaths." Li Zhiqiang laughed. "You naive kids would be exposed in an instant, wouldn't you?"

"No wonder, I always felt that woman must have mind-reading abilities," Xiao He muttered.

As they chatted, the car arrived at their building. Xiao He and Ye Wanqing greeted Li Zhiqiang and watched him leave.

"Finally..." Ye Wanqing put her hands on her hips and looked at the apartment building, laughing happily, "Old Xiao, we're going home."

"Yes, you're finally back..." Xiao He gently patted her head and said, "Let's go, I'm starving."

After going upstairs, Tuantuan waited for security at the door as usual. As soon as the door opened, it frowned and glared fiercely at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing reached out and let it sniff, complaining, "You fierce woman, you scratched the people from the Special Response Department who came to feed you! How can you be so mean?"

Tuantuan frowned at her, then ran to Xiao He's side and wrapped her body around his legs.

"Vixen..." Ye Wanqing glared at it, then changed her shoes and went inside.

Things are finally back to normal. Xiao He breathed a long sigh of relief as he entered the room: These past two days have felt like an eternity.

The Special Response Department made the data on the "Miracle Factor" in his body public to the world. In addition to trying to unite the world and accelerate the research on the Miracle Factor, the real purpose was to give him a "get-out-of-jail-free card." It was a decision made by Cui Man and her superiors after careful consideration.

The fatal weakness of Xiao He's ability is that he can be sniped from a distance without being able to sense the enemy. However, with the "Miracle Factor," which is a get-out-of-jail-free card, others can at most kidnap him or poach his employees; they would never think of killing him.

Currently, Xiao He donates blood once a month, with each donation amounting to approximately 100 to 150 milliliters. A portion of this Miracle Factor is used to treat Xie Haining, while the remainder is used for medical research.

As for which country will be fortunate enough to receive these samples... that depends on their attitude.

"Old Xiao, what would you like to eat?" Ye Wanqing's words brought him back to reality.

"Anything you make will do, anything is fine, but!" Xiao He thought for a moment and added, "No soup, I want a main dish."

"Okay," Ye Wanqing said, barely suppressing a smile. "How about we make spring pancakes? We can stir-fry some side dishes and fry some flatbreads to roll up. But you'll have to help me knead the dough."

"Great!" Xiao He immediately perked up, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I want scallions, and sweet bean sauce too, anything else is fine."

"Then let's stir-fry some chives and eggs, pan-fry some pork tenderloin, then stir-fry some green peppers and shredded pork, with some scallions... That should be about right, right?" Ye Wanqing said, counting on her cute little fingers. Xiao He swallowed hard and pushed her towards the kitchen. "Almost there! Hurry up!"

"Oh dear, don't rush me." Ye Wanqing frowned slightly. "Let me change my clothes first. Go get the flour. It needs to be high-gluten."

After a while, Ye Wanqing came out wearing a light orange short-sleeved nightgown with a cat pattern. The hem of the dress was just past her knees, and it was a loose, casual, and comfortable style. It made Ye Wanqing look especially petite and cute, except that her chest looked a little tight.

Xiao He was immediately captivated: So beautiful, so cute...

"What are you standing there for? Come here." Ye Wanqing waved her little hand at him, frowning slightly, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness.

Xiao He snapped out of his daze and followed her to the kitchen. The two of them busied themselves together; Xiao He kneaded the dough while Ye Wanqing prepared the ingredients for the stir-fry. They worked for over an hour, finally managing to prepare both the stir-fry and the pancakes.

Xiao He spread some sweet bean sauce on the spring pancake, then wrapped it with pork tenderloin, chives and eggs, shredded pork with green peppers, and scallions. One bite, and he was filled with happiness. The different ingredients, different flavors, and different textures created a joyful symphony in his mouth. This spring pancake was much tastier than any Mexican tortilla.

He said with a look of pure bliss, "I could eat these spring pancakes for the rest of my life..."

Ye Wanqing blushed instantly, averting her gaze as she pondered: What did he mean by that? Was he hinting? No, impossible, this idiot wouldn't know what hints were! But what if it was a hint...? What should I say?

"Then... then eat more," Ye Wanqing said as calmly as possible, then turned on the TV, thinking to herself: I'm such a fool, why didn't I tell him, "If you want to eat, then follow me for the rest of your life"? What if he confessed his feelings?

At that moment, the news was playing on TV. Ye Wanqing didn't really want to watch it, so she changed the channel, but it was still the news. She then realized that it seemed all the channels were broadcasting the news, and the content was uniformly about the "Miracle Factor."

However, even something that could benefit all of humanity is difficult to unite the world, as there are always a few scourges interfering.

Currently, hawks and doves have emerged within the political circles of almost every developed country in the world. Hawks believe that China should be pressured to hand over samples of the Miracle Factor, while doves believe that prejudices should be set aside and cooperation should be chosen, since this is a study that can benefit all mankind.

To put it bluntly, everyone wants the Miracle Factor, but not everyone is willing to change their attitude.

"I think it's a good idea," Xiao He replied, eating a spring pancake. "Developing medical care can benefit humanity and the whole world."

What actually gave him this idea was Xie Haining. The scene of Xie Haining holding his hand that day and expressing his gratitude, telling him that he could spend a few more years with his wife and daughter, deeply moved him.

Xiao He believed that the "meaning" of Yinglong's existence lay not in defeating anyone, but in protecting and saving someone.

"It would be better if it weren't so dangerous..." Ye Wanqing muttered. "Compared to that, fighting and killing is much safer than what you've experienced. After all, human Mutant aren't that powerful yet."

"That's true," Xiao He nodded. "However, we probably won't encounter another Mutant this powerful. Even if we did, with the Miracle Factor concentration in my body increased a hundredfold, what disease could possibly breach my immune system? It's quite laughable."

"Don't jinx it... Have you forgotten that you almost died?" Ye Wanqing frowned.

"But don't I have you by my side? You're my solid support." Xiao He joked, then grabbed another spring pancake, slowly spread sweet bean sauce on it, added some scallions, a little of each side dish, and rolled it up carefully.

"Mmm!" Xiao He devoured half of the wrap in one bite, a satisfied expression on his face.

Ye Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of him eating; her heart melted: He's so adorable... Why can he eat with such relish?

Seeing Xiao He wolfing down his food, Ye Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief: his illness was finally cured, so they could eat and take walks together every day like before.

But then Ye Wanqing recalled the words she had spoken to Xiao He while he was unconscious, and her face flushed instantly: If I were to ask him if he wanted to date me...

Ye Wanqing pictured the scene in her mind, and then felt a wave of dizziness: No, no! It would be so embarrassing!

"Why aren't you eating?" Xiao He frowned when he saw her stop.

Ye Wanqing cleared her throat to calm herself down, then held the last bit of her crepe to his lips. "I can't finish this bite, can you eat it for me?"

Xiao He didn't mind and ate it in one bite.

Ye Wanqing felt a warmth in her heart: It's quite nice to be like this every day. Let's take things slowly about dating. As long as I become more and more beautiful, he will confess to me sooner or later. Anyway, we can't be separated because we're bound by the contract.

Thinking of this, Ye Wanqing smiled and said, "Old Xiao, how about we go to the supermarket this afternoon after we finish eating? We need to replenish some things at home."

"Okay," Xiao He replied, his words mumbled. Ye Wanqing paused, then continued, "And... would you like to go see a movie?"
