“Yao Ji Wang? Haven’t seen that in ages, I used to order it all the time for takeout!”
Lan Mi, smelling the aroma, couldn’t help but swallow.
She was now dirty, smelly, and looked foolish, causing Zi Xing to frown in disgust.
“Who are you? What beggar followed you here?”
“Beggar?”
Zi Xing turned her head coldly. Upon seeing Luo Luo, she was first surprised, then delighted, and finally, a hint of hostility flashed in her eyes.
People are drawn to beauty, and she was no exception.
But Luo Luo was too beautiful. Unlike An Nuan’s cool elegance, she was sweet and playful.
Having such a petite beauty by a great beauty’s side made her uneasy.
Yet, Zi Xing was also overjoyed.
Because she could tell their relationship was extraordinary, much better than with that man.
Eyes never lie!
Luo Luo saw the instantaneous shift in Zi Xing’s gaze, revealing her thoughts at a glance.
Luo Luo looked at An Nuan: Is this person an idiot? We’re just two pure straight girls, how could she interpret it that way?
An Nuan: You called her an idiot, how would I know how an idiot’s brain works.
Seeing them exchange glances, Zi Xing was ecstatic.
As long as the path was winding, she had hope!
From this moment on, Zi Xing considered Luo Luo an enemy.
Zi Xing faked a smile: “Is this your companion? My name is Zi Xing, what’s yours?”
“Big Sister Leader.”
“Big…”
Zi Xing gritted her teeth: “You’re playing with me!”
Luo Luo ignored her, hooking her arm around An Nuan’s shoulder. “I’m tired, let’s go back and rest. Your husband is waiting for us.”
“Mhm, I’m tired too. Please move aside, we need to go home.”
“Then this chicken…”
“You can have it yourself, we don’t need it.”
An Nuan was already cold, but in Zi Xing’s eyes, she exuded an air of sophistication.
And she was very considerate.
Otherwise, why would she refuse the roast chicken!
Zi Xing watched An Nuan’s departing back, her heart fluttering, countless little hearts appearing in her eyes.
Tang Jing, standing nearby, trembled with anger.
Such a good roast chicken was a rare find, and everyone in the team hadn’t even gotten a single drop of its juice, yet she actually gave it away to someone else.
What was most infuriating was that the other party was completely uninterested!
“Tch, acting all high and mighty, doesn’t even care for roast chicken. Does she have piles of it at home, bored of eating it?”
An Nuan wasn’t bored of it, she just wasn’t interested.
All she wanted now was to wash off the smell of blood.
An Nuan told Lan Mi to stay close, lest she trigger any traps.
The moment she opened the door, Chang Kaitong and Chen Wenjing were anxiously waiting at the entrance.
“Boss, you’re back! Are you tired? Thirsty?”
“Nuan Jie, nothing happened, right? Were you in danger? Where’s Luo Luo Jie, are you alright?”
“Neither of us are hurt.”
An Nuan pulled Lan Mi over: “Let me introduce you all, this is our new companion, her name is Lan Mi.”
Lan Mi felt a little shy, she vaguely sensed that these two young people were unusual…
“Lan Mi doesn’t have any powers for now, and we don’t know if she’ll awaken any later. But since she’s joined us, everyone needs to get along well.”
“Nuan Jie, don’t worry, we have no objections to anyone you approve of!”
An Nuan nodded and took Lan Mi to bathe.
With more people at home, bathing became a problem.
Although almost every room was equipped with a bathroom, the water pressure might not be enough if everyone bathed at the same time.
An Nuan, while showering, wondered if they should implement a staggered schedule to avoid peak hours.
She rinsed off quickly and came out.
Lan Mi was still showering in the downstairs bathroom.
“Still washing?”
“Covered in mud, it’ll take ages to scrub off!”
An Nuan didn’t mind the water, she was just worried that Lan Mi hadn’t showered in a long time and hadn’t eaten anything nutritious, and might pass out inside, which would be dangerous.
Bang!
“Oh no!”
The worst had happened.
An Nuan rushed into the bathroom, wrapped Lan Mi in a bathrobe, and quickly carried her out.
Hai Changfeng infused some of his life force into her, and Lan Mi slowly opened her eyes.
“I… Oh dear, this is too embarrassing! I’ve caused you trouble again.”
Lan Mi curled up on the sofa, embarrassed, wishing she could burrow into a sofa crevice.
Hai Changfeng brewed a cup of American ginseng tea, Xiao Long handed her a piece of chocolate, Chang Kaitong covered her with a blanket, and Chen Wenjing brought a cushion to prop her up more comfortably.
Everyone showed kindness to Lan Mi, which made her feel even more self-conscious.
“I’m sorry, I’ve caused everyone trouble.”
“Drink some American ginseng tea with me every day, and eat some warm, nourishing food, and you’ll be fine soon.”
“Long Long’s chocolate is for the pretty sister too!”
Lan Mi scrubbed off the mud, revealing her originally fair, plump, and charming appearance.
She was slightly less stunning than An Nuan and Luo Luo, but still a beauty, and a voluptuous one at that.
Hai Changfeng laughed, “Our family is full of good-looking people, much better than other teams!”
“If it’s about looks, we’d definitely crush everyone else! Lan Mi, just say what you want to eat. Besides being good-looking, we also have plenty of food, don’t be shy.”
“Luo Luo, I just want something warm to drink.”
“Then I’ll make soup today.”
Luo Luo went to the refrigerator and took out some pork ribs. With her vine, she sliced the bones in a few swift motions.
Chen Wenjing was stunned. He had never seen anyone use a vine as a knife before; it was so cool!
An Nuan took out some dried fish from her spatial dimension. Juanzi swallowed it in one gulp, still looking displeased.
Juanzi: With my size, one dried fish barely fills the gaps between my teeth…
“Where’s Daizi? It’s so delicious, why isn’t it coming?”
“I was just about to tell you. Look at Daidai, it seems a bit off.”
Hai Changfeng led her to the guest bedroom downstairs. Daidai had dragged a blanket to a corner and hidden itself under it, leaving only a small triangular space for its nose to breathe.
“Daidai, do you want dried fish?”
“Meow meow…”
Daidai whimpered twice and slowly poked its head out.
“Good heavens, are you running a fever?”
Its fur had even changed color!
An Nuan touched its head; it was burning hot!
Hai Changfeng said, “It started an hour ago. I tried to transfer life force to it, but it wasn’t very effective. Do we need to find a vet?”
“Vets can’t treat异种 (yì zhǒng - mutated species).”
“Then what do we do? It looks like it has a bad fever, and it’s wrapping itself up, refusing to come out. Isn’t that making it even hotter? Silly thing!”
Daizi’s tail wrapped around Hai Changfeng’s neck.
He sweated profusely, “I was wrong, I was wrong. You’re a super genius, okay? Don’t burn me!”
Awoo awoo.
Daidai curled its tail and rubbed it continuously on the ground. An Nuan had a bold guess…
“Juanzi, come here, your wife needs you now!”
Juanzi walked in from outside, carrying a live fish. The two cats’ eyes met, and a scent invisible to humans filled the room…
