Chapter 73 Return
The cool embrace seemed to dispel the scorching air.
Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she reached out to push Chi Lin away, but of course she couldn't push him away. Instead, he hugged her even tighter, and her cheek pressed even closer to his slightly cool chest.
She smirked and said, "Hey, let go."
Chi Lin released her, but bent down and lowered his head, bringing his face close to Jiang Mian's. He lowered his eyelids, his azure eyes misty, and said softly, "Sister, don't you miss me?"
Jiang Mian:......
I really don't want to.
She pushed Chi Lin aside and walked into the house, saying only softly, "I don't want to."
Jiang Mian walked into the house, and Chi Lin followed closely behind her, dragging out his voice, "Sister is so heartless. We kissed just a few days ago, how come you've changed your attitude so quickly?"
Jiang Mian:......
I really want to let it go.
Outside the iron gate, Li Yan slowly walked in, casually pulling the door shut behind him. He slightly raised his eyelids, his dark eyes looking at the woman who was walking upstairs and the scorpion beastman following behind her.
"Sister, choose me if you're looking for a relationship, I'm super sweet."
"No discussion."
"Then what about our passionate kiss that day?"
"It was an accident."
……
Jiang Mian grabbed her clothes and was about to take a shower when she noticed that Chi Lin was still following her.
There is only one bathroom in the house, which is also a shared bathroom.
She paused, turned around, and reminded him, "I'm going to take a shower."
"Yes, I know." Chi Lin's gaze fell lightly on her, and he nodded leisurely.
Jiang Mian:......
Knowing this, why did you still follow her?
"When I take a shower, are you going to squat outside?" Jiang Mian's lips twitched slightly.
Chi Lin's expression flickered slightly: "It's not impossible."
However, the bathroom door is an opaque iron door, so you can't see anything through it.
"I hope I don't see you when I come out." After Jiang Mian went inside, she turned back to look at Chi Lin, said this with a forced smile, and then quickly closed the iron gate with a bang.
After Jiang Mian finished showering and came out, she indeed did not see Chi Lin.
She quickly went back to her room to lie down and rest.
The feeling of lying in bed is naturally different from the feeling of lying on a cold, hard floor.
Jiang Mian slept soundly.
One night passed.
The next day, after Jiang Mian woke up from her nap, Qi Xu seemed to sense the movement and entered her room. Her two pink, droopy rabbit ears drooped slightly, and her eyelids were half-closed. She only dared to stare at Jiang Mian's chin and said softly, "Master, I'm here to help you tidy up your room."
"Mmm." Jiang Mian casually waved her hand, letting him do as he pleased, and went to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Qi Xu quickly helped Jiang Mian make the bed, wipe the floor, take out the trash, and arrange the items neatly.
Jiang Mian glanced at the rabbit boy working. Because of the rabbit boy's diligence, Jiang Mian was always satisfied with the clean and tidy room when she returned.
Nowadays, Qixu's role is only to do housework; she hasn't had the chance to cook yet, since there's no food available.
Even though she picked up her things at the airport yesterday, they only contained ready-made food and nutrient solutions with very long shelf lives; there were no fresh or frozen foods. After all, the logistics would take half a month, and any fresh or frozen food would have lost its freshness by the time it arrived here. Jiang Mian was increasingly determined to develop a purification reagent; otherwise, drinking nutrient solutions every day on this exile planet would make her feel utterly bored.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the amount of nutrient solution she had given the rabbit boy. At the normal rate of drinking nutrient solution, Qixu should be out of nutrient solution now.
"Qixu." Jiang Mian finished washing up and came out, looking at Qixu who had folded the quilt neatly.
The boy was tall and thin, and always wore a white shirt and black pants; the black and white colors always looked clean.
Her exposed wrists and ankles were slender and graceful, and her skin was exceptionally fair and clear.
It was as if it were clean and tidy.
"Master, is there anything you need?" Qi Xu paused slightly as she tidied the bed, then slowly withdrew her hand and let it hang down at her side.
His voice had a youthful quality, yet it was always respectful and obedient.
His height was about the same as Jiang Mian's, but his bones should not have fully grown yet, and he could still grow taller, since the average height of orcs is over 180 cm.
Jiang Mian simply took out another box of nutrient solution from the hub space and handed it over: "You've finished the nutrient solution I gave you before, right? Tell me when you're done, otherwise I sometimes forget."
She doesn't need to support the other beastmen, but she does need to support Qixu, since he's a beastman she employs, and she has to take care of his food, clothing, and shelter.
"Qixu has noted it down." Qixu's pink eyes flickered slightly. In fact, he was saving the remaining nutrient solution and didn't dare to ask his master for more. He would accept whatever his master gave him.
"Thank you, Master." Qi Xu reached out and took the box full of nutrients, and gently said thank you.
He was still wearing a mask, and after finishing his chores, he quietly withdrew.
Jiang Mian plans to return the car to the city lord's house today.
She thought for a moment, wondering who she should ask to go with her.
After that incident at the airport, it's undeniable that Li Yan's sense of security in her heart has increased dramatically, and Li Yan is now the first person she thinks of.
However, considering the other person's injuries, she decided not to trouble him for the time being.
For a moment, she thought of the imperial edict again. The other party could kill the enemy with poison in a second when he used his ultimate move, which seemed to make her feel quite safe.
Jiang Mian was about to go find Zhao Ci when, just as she passed Rong Fei's door, it opened, and Rong Fei appeared in the doorway, looking at her and gently asking, "Mianmian, are you going out?"
For some reason, she always felt that he was deliberately waiting for her to pass by before opening the door.
Jiang Mian paused, then turned to look at him: "Yes, we're getting ready to go out."
"I have nothing to do today, so I'll go out with you." Rong Fei's voice was calm and indifferent, yet he walked out forcefully, closing the door behind him as he did so.
He walked out so calmly and naturally, seemingly giving Jiang Mian no room or opportunity to refuse.
Jiang Mian paused for a moment, then said, "Alright."
After all, he is one of the five future Beast Lords, so he should have some strength.
Moreover, orcs are stronger than ordinary people; at least, ordinary people cannot harm them.
So Jiang Mian happily decided to take Rong Fei out with her.
"Mianmian, does your arm still hurt?" Rong Fei asked gently.
"It's alright, it doesn't hurt much anymore." Jiang Mian smiled faintly.
"That's good." Rong Fei gently patted her head.
He has already used some methods to find the beastmen in the alley that day.
They were all processed once, naturally.
