The Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Female Lead is Mine [Transmigration Into a Novel] - Chapter 42.2

It was fine that Xia Fufeng didn’t ask, but now that she did, Xie Zhitian suddenly realized that when she said that sentence just now, “us” only included herself and Luo Yang. It seemed that it had become a very normal thing to include Luo Yang in her future.

It wasn’t that she was excluding Xia Fufeng and Tang Zhuoran, but her brain had subconsciously reacted that way.

But this reaction was also normal. Luo Yang was the person she was closest and most familiar with in this world. Since she came here, Luo Yang had been with her no matter what she did, just like family.

Xie Zhitian thought.

Xia Fufeng ate the potato chips, “How can I accept this? I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously.”

She and Tang Zhuoran were not the kind of people who liked to take advantage of others. They had a good sense of propriety. Even between friends, they wouldn’t be greedy and ask for things repeatedly.

Luo Yang was in a good mood and gave everyone a few pieces of chocolate, her eyes shining brightly. She said, “Since there are so many, I’ll store the supplies I don’t use in there in the future. Will you keep them for me, Tiantian?”

Xie Zhitian smiled at her, “Okay, whatever you say.”

Tang Zhuoran’s gaze lingered on the medicine box for a moment, then she asked, “Miss Xie, since your space can be used for farming and raising animals, it means that people can enter it, not just take things out of thin air, right?”

Xie Zhitian said candidly, “Yes, but there are restrictions on this. I’ve slowly figured out a few rules.”

She briefly introduced the rules she had found to the other three.

First, only she can enter the personal space.

Second, there is a time limit for each entry into the space, with a maximum of three hours.

Third, once she leaves the space, there will be a twelve-hour cooldown period. That is, she can only enter again after twelve hours.

Fourth, when she enters the space, she will disappear from others’ sight, so she usually chooses to enter the space when she is alone. When she comes out, she will stay in the same place and will not be displaced.

Fifth, the time flow in the space is synchronized with the real world.

Xie Zhitian concluded, “I wish I could bring other people in. I could take you on a tour.”

Xia Fufeng looked regretful, “Oh, I really want to see what it’s like inside. Do you have many animals?”

Xie Zhitian replied, “I don’t have any animals or plants now because I don’t have much time, and I have enough ingredients. It’s more convenient to store the things that can be eaten directly.”

Taking care of animals and plants is quite troublesome. A few years ago, she did grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks, accumulating a large amount of ingredients, enough to last for several lifetimes. Later, she stopped.

Tang Zhuoran said, “This space is worth making good use of. It can not only store supplies but also save lives at critical moments.”

Xie Zhitian admired her way of thinking. In the blink of an eye, she had considered all aspects.

She replied, “Indeed. For example, if you encounter an aberration and can’t defeat it, you can hide in it for a while.”

In the apocalypse she used to live in, unexpected events were frequent and much more dangerous than now. She had saved her life several times by relying on her personal space.

Luo Yang was a little confused. She always felt that with Xie Zhitian’s strength, even if she encountered an aberration, it should be the aberration that needs to hide.

She was curious and simply asked, “Can you trap an aberration in there?”

Xie Zhitian said, “No, that’s not possible.”

She had actually done this experiment several times while helping to clear the aberrations. She secretly tried to capture the aberrations using the same method she used to capture chickens and ducks, but it failed every time. She didn’t know why.

The group ate snacks and chatted, and it was already late at night.

Xia Fufeng said, “Zhuoran, don’t leave tonight. There are plenty of empty rooms. You can just go to work tomorrow.”

Tang Zhuoran thought for a moment, “Alright, then I’ll be a bother.”

“No bother at all, don’t be so polite.”

Xia Fufeng said with a smile, “It’s late. Let’s stop here for today and all get some rest.”

Xie Zhitian had the same intention and got up to go back to her room. She stopped after a moment of thought. She reminded them again, “I’ve only told you about this. Please don’t tell anyone else.”

She wasn’t questioning the character of the three of them, otherwise, she wouldn’t have told them in the first place. It was just that Xia Fufeng and Luo Yang were relatively simple, and she was afraid that they might accidentally let something slip, so she reminded them again.

The three of them agreed repeatedly and promised that they would be careful and would not reveal a single detail.

Having been in the apocalypse for so many years, Xie Zhitian had seen every aspect of human nature and had understood it all.

“An innocent man is guilty only for the treasure he possesses.” In such a scarce environment, if others knew about Xie Zhida’s ability, it would attract countless people’s covetousness and could lead to a fatal disaster.

Xie Zhitian told them this out of trust, so they had to live up to that trust.

That night, Xie Zhitian had a little insomnia. She went over everything that had happened since she arrived at the district and then began to consider the details of the next plan.

According to Tang Zhuoran’s arrangement, she and Luo Yang would set off in a few days, disguised as Guards from District 14, and go to District 7 to investigate the internal situation.

Xie Zhitian planned to use these few days to learn more about the background of District 7 so that she would have a better idea of what to expect. Also, before she left, she wanted to go to the research department of the district to ask about the situation of the two animals, Big Black and Little Black, and whether the reason for the anomaly had been found.

She knew the danger of this operation. It was probably the most dangerous one since she transmigrated over a month ago. But she was not afraid. She believed in herself and also in her three excellent partners.

Xie Zhitian turned over and lay on her back, her eyes on the dark ceiling.

“Oh, and there’s Xiao Wen.”

She didn’t know how long this trip would take. She had to find someone to keep an eye on Xiao Wen these days to prevent him from doing anything bad again. Wang Er, Xia Fufeng’s servant, was not very smart, but he was loyal and conscientious, so he was a good candidate.

She would arrange for Wang Er to take Xiao Wen to do some odd jobs in the district. Once a person is busy, they won’t have time to think about so many things. And since the three capture targets would not be around, Xiao Wen wouldn’t be able to get any points no matter how much he tried. There was nothing to worry about.

Just as Xie Zhitian was lost in thought, she heard a soft voice next to her.

“Tiantian, are you asleep?”

Xie Zhitian came back to her senses, “Not yet.”

She turned her head and asked in a gentle voice, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Luo Yang was lying on her side, her cheek resting on her arm. She looked over, “Tiantian, were all the things you gave me before taken out of your personal space?”

Sure enough, Luo Yang was thinking about the personal space. It would be hard for anyone to fall asleep after hearing something like this for the first time.

Xie Zhitian admitted, “Yes, they were basically all taken out of the space.”

Luo Yang laughed, “No wonder. I always thought your backpack was Doraemon’s pocket, with everything in it.”

Xie Zhitian also laughed and turned over to face her. She said, “I’m sorry, I should have told you earlier. It’s not that I don’t trust you. I just never found the right opportunity and didn’t know how to bring it up.”

After getting to know Luo Yang, Xie Zhitian sometimes thought about telling Luo Yang everything. Including her identity, her ability, and the plot and truth about this world.

But Xie Zhitian felt that it was unnecessary. If Luo Yang knew that the world she lived in was just a novel and that she was the tragic female protagonist, it would be of no benefit to her and would only cause her distress.

And since she and Luo Yang got along well, there was no need to mention her identity as a transmigrator. Since she had the original host’s life, she would be the one to decide her future. She would protect Luo Yang and do what she thought was right, and that was enough.

“It’s okay, Tiantian. You don’t need to apologize.”

Luo Yang answered seriously, “I’ve only known you for a little over a month. It was right for you not to tell me. In fact, even if you chose not to say anything just now, it would have been understandable.”

“We are a team, so we should trust each other, of course.”

Xie Zhitian smiled, “And I always feel like we’ve known each other for a long time.”

Luo Yang’s breathing paused slightly, and then she slowly curved her lips in the dark, “Me too.”

“Okay, let’s go to sleep.” Xie Zhitian patted her, her tone gentle, “In the future, just tell me what you want. What’s mine is yours.”
