In the morning, I woke up and stretched my body, my gaze landing on the cheap crystal ornament on the table. It was the so-called token of love that Zhang Hao had given me, something he used to cheer me up in my past life. The transparent crystal refracted light under the sun, and I couldn't help but sneer. This trinket was worth no more than a few dozen yuan, yet he claimed it was a precious item he had spent a month's salary to acquire.
At that time, I had been so moved that I stayed up several nights knitting him a scarf. I picked up the ornament, my fingers gliding over its cold surface, and all those beautiful memories turned into ironic jokes in that moment.
With a loud crash, I smashed the crystal ornament onto the floor, shards flying everywhere. The crisp sound of shattering brought me a sense of satisfaction. In my past life, I had given so much only to receive the cruelest betrayal in return. They enjoyed my protection, feasted on the supplies I gathered, and even had affairs on my bed. When they finally found an opportunity to seize my spatial abilities, they pushed me into a horde of zombies without hesitation.
I stood in front of the mirror, looking at myself. The softness and innocence in my eyes had vanished, replaced by deep-seated hatred. "You want my spatial abilities, do you?" I whispered, my fingers brushing over the silver runes on the inside of my left arm. "Then let your blood be the price."
Footsteps approached from outside the door. A cold smile crept onto my lips as I concealed all my emotions and put on a mask of obedience and charm once more.
The door was gently knocked on as Zhang Hao and Lin Mengyi entered with breakfast in hand. "Qing Qing, look! We bought your favorite meat buns," Lin Mengyi said cheerfully, placing the food on the table while her gaze inadvertently swept over the crystal shards on the floor.
I deliberately feigned a look of panic. "I'm sorry... I accidentally broke the crystal ornament."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Zhang Hao immediately comforted me, "I'll buy you a better one later."
I lowered my head, a hint of a mocking smile playing at the corners of my mouth.
"By the way, Qing Qing, how much can your space hold now?"
Lin Mengyi asked casually.
I feigned innocence, tilting my head, "I'm not really sure. Let me try."
As I spoke, I picked up a steamed bun from the table and, under their eager gazes, placed it into the faint glow emitted by the jade pendant.
Lin Mengyi's eyes lit up. "Is it really that small?"
"It should... be able to hold a bit more?" I deliberately showed a puzzled expression. "But I don't know how to make it bigger."
"That's okay, take your time," Lin Mengyi said, wrapping her arm around my shoulder. "My cousin works at a food wholesale company and can get a lot of cheap goods. Would you like me to help you stock up?"
"Really?" I widened my eyes. "That would be great! With prices so high now, it's always good to stock up on supplies."
Zhang Hao immediately chimed in, "How about this? You give me the money, and I'll help you contact them. I guarantee you'll get the lowest price."
"Sure!" I nodded happily. "But I need to see how much I actually want to stock up first."
Watching them exchange knowing glances, I couldn't help but sneer inwardly. In my past life, they had used this very method to gradually figure out my financial situation and the capacity of my space. This time, I was curious to see what tricks they would pull.
"By the way," I asked curiously, "where is this channel you mentioned?"
"It's at the wholesale market in the western suburbs, but it's quite chaotic there," Zhang Hao replied quickly. "I think it's better if I go ask about the prices for you."
I nodded obediently, "Then I'll leave it to you."
