Reborn As A Doomsday Villainess-Chapter 130: Affection Meter

She stopped in front of the room at the end of the corridor, pressed her code, and the door clicked open.

"Inside. You’re staining the floor."

Yizhou stepped in without complaint.

The suite was exactly what you’d expect from the top floor used by the boss of the facility.

Plush carpet, sleek furniture, soft lighting, and a private bathroom large enough to be its own apartment.

The air still smelled faintly like expensive cologne.

He glanced around, unimpressed.

"That Du Yuan had good taste."

"Yeah..I’ll give him that."

She tossed him a clean towel. "Strip. Shower. Then I’ll deal with that shoulder."

Yizhou caught the towel, gave her a look. "Bossy."

"You like it."

He chuckled, pulling off his blood-soaked shirt and heading to the bathroom. "You’re not wrong."

She waited until the water started running before sitting down on the bed.

"I don’t want to use from my stockpile. Let’s see if this place has a first aid kit."

She checked the cabinet, and found a first aid ket inside the second cabinet.

"Well that was easy.."

Feng Yizhou emerged ten minutes later, towel slung low on his hips, hair damp, shoulder still bleeding slightly.

"Sit."

He sat, like a obedient little dog.

She crouched in front of him, disinfecting the wound in silence.

He watched her work, his eyes never leaving her face.

"You were worried?" he asked, if Qingran didn’t care, she wouldn’t have called.

"I’m always worried when you’re stupid."

"Mm. Then I’ll keep being stupid. I like it when you’re worried."

"..."

Badum. She left her heart race but immediately regained herself.

She looked up, expression flat.

"Say that again after I pour alcohol on this."

He grinned. "Do it. I missed you."

Qingran didn’t bother with a warning. She poured the alcohol directly over his shoulder.

Feng Yizhou flinched.

"Ow—! Qingran, darling, have you always been this violent?"

"Only with stubborn men who think bleeding is fashionable" she said, pressing gauze to the wound.

He hissed again, but grinned. "I knew you missed me. This much passion? You must’ve cried while waiting."

Qingran rolled her eyes.

"I cried, alright. Tears of joy thinking about how quiet the facility was without you."

"Cold. So cold," he murmured dramatically. "You used to be so gentle with me."

She peeled the soaked gauze away.

"No, I wasn’t. In fact I’m even gentle with you now."

"..."

"Fair " he muttered, eyeing her as she reached for fresh bandages. "Still, you came running the second you heard I was back. That’s love."

"I came to see, if you brought Haoyu safe and sound." she said, wrapping the bandage tight, maybe a little tighter than necessary.

He winced.

"Ow. You’re enjoying this."

"I am."

"Sadist..." he murmured.

Qingran stood and walked off, rifling through a drawer. She came back with a clean shirt and tossed it at his face.

"Put this one. You didn’t lose that much blood but still, you need to eat something. The access code is "770057" for this floor."

"..."

"Get it for me. I don’t have the strength to go down 6 floors.."

".."

"It’s not like you’re walking. Geez.."

"Get for me darling...pleasee"

"..."

"You’re lucky you’re injured. What do you want to eat?"

Feng Yizhou stroked his chin "Get me something meaty and savory. Maybe some braised pork belly, roasted lamb skewers, beef noodles, spicy cumin ribs, or pork dumplings."

".."

Qingran gave him a blank explanation "You’re having congee with soft tofu and steamed vegetables instead."

"..."

"Darling...you’re hurting my taste buds.."

Qingran leaned down until she was eye level with him, her voice flat. "Your taste buds didn’t get attacked by zombies. Your shoulder did."

Feng Yizhou stared at her like she’d just committed a war crime. "Soft tofu. Steamed vegetables. And you still call this love?"

She stood upright, arms crossed.

"Do you want to bleed out dramatically on this luxury carpet, or eat your porridge like a good boy?"

"..."

He narrowed his eyes. "I’d rather starve."

"Good. Saves me the trip."

"...You’re heartless."

"You’ll live."

She turned on her heel, but before she walked out, she paused at the door, glancing back over her shoulder.

"And if I do see lamb skewers in the kitchen, I’m eating them myself."

"Qingran!"

The door slid shut in his face.

Left in silence, Feng Yizhou sighed and flopped back onto the bed, one arm thrown dramatically across his eyes.

"Yeah I’m definitely in love with her."

"You did a stupid thing back there, these injuries could have been avoided."

"..."

"They needed to learn. It’s just a flesh wound. Give me the healing pill, I just wanted Qingran to take care of me a little bit. I won’t take off the bandages just yet."

"..."

Ate the pill silently.

"She won’t be happy that you lied. However, on a different matter, let’s go over your mission completion rewards."

Ding!

"As requested, 30,000 stamina points, better tell her to build up stamina points if not she won’t be able to match your freak, brainwashing: basic level unlocked, map reading: basic level unlocked, electro-kinetic surge: basic level. Affection meter: basic level."

Feng Yizhou smiled, he had been anticipating this reward the whole time.

He finally got see how much Qingran liked him.

He had hit the jackpot with these rewards, and it was because of Qingran, if not he would not have to thought to come to lab.

" You can’t use these abilities all at once and they’re all difficult to upgrade. Approximately 6 months to leave the basic level."

".."

"Mhm...just how powerful is the electric surge at basic level?"

"At basic level, electro-kinetic surge can"

"• "Instantly disable all unprotected electronics within a 30-meter radius."

• "Cause full-body paralysis in an average human for up to 10 seconds."

• "Fry internal circuits of low-grade machinery and surveillance systems."

• "Deliver a direct-contact surge capable of stopping a human heart, though precision control is limited."

• "Cooldown: 90 seconds between uses."

• "Current output: 45,000 volts — unstable without training." "

"Side effects may include numbness in fingertips, nerve strain, and temporary hearing loss if discharged too close to the ears. Use responsibly."

"Got it. Not bad. What about the brain washing, map reading and affection meter?"

"Affection Meter: Basic Level"

• "Track emotional fluctuations and general affection level of a designated target."

• "Displays a percentage-based affection score visible only to the host."

• "Score updates in real-time based on actions, words, and shared memories."

• "Warning: sudden drops may indicate emotional damage or distrust."

• "At basic level, only one target may be tracked."

• "Current target: Qingran — Affection: 20%."

Feng Yizhou stared at the number.

"...Only twenty?"

He squinted at the interface, as if glaring hard enough might raise the score. It did not.
