Chapter 128: Gift From A Friend
Zhu Lin noticed that everyone who had close contact with her ice silk cloak was always curious about the cloak. She thought for a while and said, "This cloak is made of a thousand year ice silk cloth."
"Where did you buy the ice silk cloth?" He asked again.
Zhu Lin smiled slightly and said, "I didn’t buy the ice silk cloth. I used to weave it when I was bored in the past. My elder brother helped me pack it when I forgot to bring it with me when I left home."
Hearing her answer, Teng Bai was speechless. He looked at Zhu Lin and thought to himself: ’This Miss Zhu is really impressive in her own way.’
Zhu Lin knew that he didn’t believe what she said, so she just smiled and said nothing. When they reached the tenth floor, Teng Bai said, "Miss Zhu, do you still have any ice silk cloth left?"
She nodded and calmly said, "I still have some with me."
Usually, people would ask the other person if they want the cloth or not, but Zhu Lin only answered Teng Bai’s question and then fell silent again. Teng Bai was a little embarrassed to ask, but he still cleared his throat and asked, "Miss Zhu, are you selling the cloth?"
After hearing what he said, Zhu Lin turned to look at him and asked, "Captain Teng, do you want the ice silk cloth?"
As the captain of the Special Force Division, Teng Bai often goes out to perform secret missions. Although he is a supernatural being and has better endurance than ordinary people, he still suffered a lot due to the hot temperature and lack of water.
If he could make a cloak like Zhu Lin’s, he would suffer less when he goes out to perform his missions. Thinking of the comfort he felt when he stayed closer to the ice silk cloak she was wearing, Teng Bai nodded and said, "Yes."
Noticing the eagerness hidden inside his calm eyes, Zhu Lin thought for a while and took out a roll of ice silk cloth. This roll of cloth was left over after she had made five cloaks and cut some of the cloth for the children.
She handed the ice silk cloth to Teng Bai and said, "Captain Teng, this is the remaining ice silk cloth after I made the cloaks for my team members. If you don’t mind, please accept it."
When Zhu Lin put the roll of ice silk cloth in his arms, Teng Bai felt the temperature drop around him. Feeling the comfortable temperature around him, Teng Bai’s eyes were glued to the ice silk cloth.
Looking at the thickness of the roll of cloth, it was at least more than thirty meters left. With so much fabric, he could make more scarves to save the materials and give them to his team members. As long as the temperature can be lowered a little bit, that is more than enough for them.
After Zhu Lin walked down the stairs, Teng Bai came back to his senses and hurriedly chased after her. He looked at Zhu Lin and asked, "Miss Zhu, how much does this roll of cloth cost?"
"This is a gift. Captain Teng can just accept it with ease." Zhu Lin responded without looking at him.
As a soldier, he never accepted any bribes or gifts from anyone. Although he was very reluctant, he still said firmly: "Miss Zhu, I can’t accept this."
Zhu Lin looked back at him and saw his serious expression. Thinking that Xiu Wu might need Teng Bai’s help and connections to establish their base later, she said calmly: "Captain Teng has helped me before. Just think of this roll of ice silk cloth as a gift from a friend. That’s if Captain Teng regards me as a friend."
Since Zhu Lin already said so, Teng Bai did not insist on returning the ice silk cloth. He looked at her for a moment and then said sincerely: "Thank you, Miss Zhu. If there’s anything you need my help with, please let me know."
Zhu Lin was waiting for these words from him. She nodded to him and said, "All right."
The two of them then left the apartment building and got into the car that had been waiting in front of the building. After driving for more than twenty minutes, they arrived at the warehouse of the Supply Division.
After getting out of the car, Teng Bai said, "Miss Zhu, this way please."
Zhu Lin followed him to the warehouse located at the back area of the Supply Division. When they arrived there, Song Chengsu was already waiting in front of the warehouse with Zheng Yimu.
Because seeds needed to be classified and counted manually, the Supply Division and Support Division worked together with the Special Force Division this time. It is rare for the three captains from different divisions to work together. Looking at the three of them, Zhu Lin raised her eyebrows slightly.
Although she was a little surprised to see three captains at the same time, Zhu Lin’s expression remained as calm as ever. Seeing the two of them coming, Song Chengsu smiled at Zhu Lin and said, "Miss Zhu, long time no see. How are you doing? Are you having a good time living in our base?"
Zhu Lin nodded to him and said politely: "Thank you for your concern. I’m fine."
Noticing that she only answered his first question, Song Chengsu changed the subject and said, "The seeds are all inside the warehouse. Miss Zhu, you can check it first."
After he said that, the soldiers opened the door and they walked into the warehouse. Walking beside her, Zheng Yimu handed her the seed list and said, "This is the seed list. Miss Zhu can check it first."
Zhu Lin couldn’t read the language of this world yet, so she just glanced at the list as a courtesy and gave it back to Zheng Yimu. Seeing her casually scanning the list, the three captains exchanged glances. While the three of them were still confused with her behavior, Zhu Lin had already walked towards the high pile of seed bags.
