Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Chapter 133 Alien Invasion 10

Before long, the plate was empty. Su Lan ate while joking, "How could I waste the food you made?" His face was filled with satisfaction.

After they finished eating, he looked at Shen Ying with tender eyes and said gently, "Shen Ying, you've been taking such good care of me these past few days. I remember there are some really delicious ready-to-eat foods that you can just heat up a little and eat. They're very tasty too. That way, you can get some more rest."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying was stunned for a moment. Her lost memories finally flooded back like a tide, and she remembered her terrible "cooking skills"... Shen Ying chuckled dryly twice, then nodded in agreement, silently accepting the other party's thoughtfulness.

When it was time to change the dressing, Shen Ying carefully prepared the medicine and gauze, and gently untied the bandages on Su Lan's body.

Every time the unhealed wound was exposed, her brows would furrow slightly, and her eyes would be filled with heartache.

Her movements became even gentler, as if the slightest force would worsen Su Lan's pain. While changing the dressing, she unconsciously exhaled, "Hoo...hoo...it doesn't hurt! It doesn't hurt!" She looked like she was comforting an injured child.

Su Lan couldn't help but smile at her nervous yet adorable appearance, and her tense expression, which had been strained by the pain of her wound, relaxed considerably.

Afternoon sunlight streamed into the laboratory, its golden glow adding warmth to the otherwise slightly chilly space. Shen Ying gently supported Su Lan, moving step by step through the room.

"You know what? I almost blew up the lab once when I was in school," Shen Ying said softly with a slight smile, her eyes sparkling with reminiscence, trying to convey a relaxed atmosphere to Su Lan.

Su Lan's lips curled up slightly. He could feel Shen Ying's thoughtfulness, and the pain in his wound seemed to lessen a bit with her warm words.

"And then what happened?" Su Lan asked, her voice still a little weak but full of curiosity.

"Later, when my supervisor came in and saw the mess, his face turned black. I thought he was going to give me a good scolding, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. His face was even blacker than Bao Gong's. I even wondered if black smoke was going to come out of his head." Shen Ying said, then laughed out loud, her clear laughter echoing in the laboratory.

At night, the laboratory was so quiet that only Su Lan's even breathing could be heard.

Shen Ying sat on a chair by the bed.

The dim light shone on Su Lan's face, revealing his slightly tired appearance.

Shen Ying would occasionally reach out and pull the blanket up for him to make sure he wouldn't catch a cold.

She stood guard quietly, not daring to blink even once, always ready to deal with any discomfort Su Lan might experience.

As the night deepened, waves of drowsiness washed over Shen Ying, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Finally, exhausted, she closed her eyes slightly in the chair. But her nerves remained taut; the slightest noise would instantly snap her awake, her gaze quickly turning to Su Lan.

When Su Lan woke up, he saw it all and felt a pang of heartache. He couldn't bear to see Shen Ying suffer like this.

He gently tugged at Shen Ying's sleeve and said weakly but firmly, "Don't stay up like this. Come to bed and sleep with me."

Shen Ying hesitated, worried that she might touch his wound. Su Lan smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, just be careful." Shen Ying then carefully lay down next to Su Lan, trying to keep her body a little distance from him, only gently holding his hand, as if that would convey warmth.

In the middle of the night, Shen Ying was half asleep when she suddenly turned over, lost her balance, and fell off the bed with a "bang".

She was startled by the sudden situation and instantly became alert. Her heart pounded, and before she could even feel the pain, she nervously looked at Su Lan on the bed.

But then she saw that Su Lan had also woken up, looking at her with a tense expression, her worry clearly visible in her eyes.

He struggled to sit up and check on Shen Ying's condition, his brows furrowing slightly from the effort, but he also gasped as the movement aggravated his wounds.

"Shen Ying, how are you? Are you hurt?" Su Lan's voice was urgent and distressed, and it was especially clear in the quiet night.

Seeing this, Shen Ying quickly got up from the ground and rushed to the bedside. She pressed down on Su Lan, who was trying to get up, and said softly, "I'm fine. Don't move around. Be careful of your wound." She carefully checked Su Lan's bandage and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no bleeding.

Su Lan looked at Shen Ying with tenderness in his eyes and said softly, "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters." Shen Ying pursed her lips and said earnestly, "You got hurt saving me. Every time I see your wounds, I feel so guilty, so you have to get better quickly." Su Lan reached out and touched Shen Ying's hair, smiling as he said, "Protecting you is the thing I want to do most."

The two lay down again, and this time Shen Ying moved closer to Su Lan. She gently leaned on Su Lan's shoulder and whispered, "Sleep well, you need to get better soon." Su Lan nodded, and with Shen Ying by his side, the two fell asleep again.

The next morning, Shen Ying woke up first. Looking at Su Lan's peaceful sleeping face, those memories flooded back into her mind.

She tiptoed out of bed to prepare a simple breakfast for the two of them.

This time, she decided to follow Su Lan's advice and find some ready-to-eat foods to heat up.

When the steaming hot food was placed on the table, Su Lan woke up, and the two smiled at each other.

Su Lan's health was gradually recovering. On that day, the sunlight sparsely shone into the research institute.

Shen Ying checked the surveillance footage as usual, but suddenly her expression turned serious.

The number of aliens in the scene was greater than before. They moved around in twos and threes among the ruins. Their movements seemed chaotic but carried an unknown threat. The scene made Shen Ying's heart skip a beat, and a sense of unease quickly spread.

Shen Ying frowned, sat there pondering for a moment, then got up to find Su Lan and told him about the increase in the number of aliens.

Upon hearing this, Su Lan's expression also turned serious. After exchanging glances, the two agreed that they needed to go out and investigate.

Shen Ying looked at Su Lan with some concern, her eyes full of worry: "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, I'm afraid you can't handle it."

Su Lan smiled and pulled Shen Ying into his arms, whispering in her ear with a hint of ambiguity, "Want to give it a try?"

Shen Ying's face flushed instantly, her heart pounded, she glared at the other person, and abruptly stood up.

The institute's main gate was covered in rust, yet remained sturdy. They left through a hidden side door.

Outside, everything was desolate. Under the gray sky, rubble, abandoned cars, and wreckage were scattered everywhere. The air was thick with the smell of death, and the dilapidated buildings were covered with traces of the aliens' rampage. Bloodstains were dark red in the sunlight.
