Reincarnated as her wicked older sister who has been cleansed up, she attracts a swarm of beastly hu

Chapter 42 I didn't care at all
Zhu Yan paused for a moment, then quickly walked towards Wen Li.

With his long legs, he walked to Wen Li in just a few steps.

He didn't look at her; his gaze remained fixed on the stone wall beside him.

"What do you want?" Zhu Yan asked dryly.

Her hands, hanging at her sides, unconsciously clenched slightly.

Wen Li glanced at him cautiously.

The gaze then slid down to Zhu Yan's well-defined abdominal muscles.

Wow, she has a great figure.

Although it's unclear why Zhu Yan returned shirtless, his physique is undeniably impressive.

Wen Li had only ever seen this kind of figure online.

However, she didn't dare to look too closely, glancing at it briefly before looking away and focusing on the ground.

It felt pretty awkward.

Looking closely at Zhu Yan's expression, she noticed he was tense, but she didn't sense any anger from him, which relieved Wen Li slightly.

Zhu Yan is so tall, she looks like a little chick standing in front of him, barely reaching his chest.

If Zhu Yan were to attack her, she would definitely be no match for him.

"Uh... I'm sorry about that just now." Wen Li apologized stiffly, "I misunderstood you."

Zhu Yan turned her head slightly, looking indifferent, "It's nothing, I didn't care at all."

Didn't you notice?
Wen Li was very skeptical of the truthfulness of this statement.

If Zhu Yan really didn't care, why did she leave in such a huff just now? She must have misunderstood.

Wen Li couldn't help but look up at Zhu Yan again.

I wanted to judge the truthfulness of his statement by looking at his expression.

Zhu Yan noticed her gaze, lowered his eyes, and stared directly at Wen Li.

"what?"

Wen Li was startled and quickly looked away, "N-nothing."

Zhu Yan pursed her lips.

During their brief time together, Zhu Yan discovered something—Wen Li was afraid of him.

She was not as relaxed in front of him as she was in front of Xin Yuan.

……snort.

This is not normal, the two of them were not very familiar with each other to begin with, Zhu Yan thought to himself.

But I felt a strange tightness in my chest.

Zhu Yan lowered his head, not wanting to say anything more to Wen Li. "If you have nothing else to say, I'll head back now."

After saying that, he reached out and lifted the curtain.

"Hey, wait a minute." Wen Li subconsciously grabbed Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan had been caught in the rain not long ago, and his arms were soaking wet.

It was very hard, very sturdy, and very thick; her hand could only grasp half of it.

Come to think of it, this was the first time she had touched Zhu Yan since the last time she transmigrated here.

Wen Li quickly regretted it, hurriedly withdrew her hand, and innocently spread her hands out, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

She acted impulsively.

There are still things I haven't given to Zhu Yan.

The sensation of being touched still lingered on her forearm, and Zhu Yan felt a tingling sensation on her scalp for a moment.

He listened to Wen Li's advice and didn't leave.

"Is there anything else?" he asked sullenly, a hint of unease flashing across his face.

Wen Li decided to finish quickly, "I really like the gift you gave me, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

He did all this just to hear this one sentence.

"It's nothing." Zhu Yan's lips unconsciously curved upwards, and her eyes and eyebrows lifted, radiating an indescribable vitality. "You've been cooking all the time, it must be hard work..."

Zhu Yan spoke softer and softer until Wen Li could barely hear him.

However, we can roughly tell that Zhu Yan was praising himself.

I was surprised to hear him speak human language.

Wen Li couldn't help but laugh, and her initial slight hesitation became firm.

“I also have something for you.” Wen Li said, taking out a wooden bracelet and handing it to Zhu Yan.

"What is this?" Zhu Yan stared at the red bracelet in her hand.

"It's a gift for you. It can... um, keep out insects."

Before Zhu Yan could even take it, Wen Li grabbed his hand and placed it in his palm.

"Wearing it has an insect-repelling effect."

After saying that, she didn't even look at Zhu Yan's reaction and hurriedly ran away.

Wen Li redeemed this item from the system shop. She didn't know what to give as a return gift, so she saw a gift pack worth one point in the shop and redeemed it directly.

After opening the gift package, you'll find this insect-repellent bracelet.

This is the origin of Zhu Yan's gift, which is completely different from the one carefully selected for Xin Yuan.

However, Zhu Yan was unaware of these things and was quite happy to receive the gift.

I held it in my hands and played with it for a while, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.

"It looks pretty good," Zhu Yan said softly.

I picked it up and examined it closely, then took a deep sniff. The bracelet had a faint, refreshing fragrance that smelled wonderful.

Zhu Yan put the bracelet on her wrist; the size was just right. Humming a tune, she went into her cave.

This was the first time he had ever received such a proper and respectable gift.

Meanwhile, Xin Yuan was also preparing to return after Zhu Yan left.

Before leaving, Bai Yanci called him back and asked, "Xin Yuan, how is the curse on you?"

"It's almost done," Xin Yuan said with a smile.

Bai Yanci seemed lost in thought.

He hadn't forgotten that the way to break the curse was to drink Wen Li's blood.

It seems that Wen Li has been diligently bleeding Xin Yuan to help him break the curse.

Bai Yanci: "That's good."

He didn't ask any more questions, but waved his hand, telling Xin Yuan to hurry back and check on Zhu Yan.

"Brother Yanci, I'll come see you again when I have time," Xin Yuan said.

"it is good."

Xin Yuan also rushed back quickly.

As soon as I reached the cave entrance, I heard a low humming coming from inside.

Xin Yuan paused for a moment, then lifted the curtain.

Seeing Zhu Yan lying on the bed in a good mood, with his legs crossed and humming something to himself.

It's easy to tell that she's in a good mood.

"Brother," Xin Yuan called out to Zhu Yan.

"You're back." Zhu Yan sat up, shook her right wrist, and gestured to Xin Yuan as if intentionally or unintentionally.

Xin Yuan noticed it and asked, "Brother, what's that?"

Zhu Yan suppressed a smug smile and proudly fiddled with her wrist, saying, "Someone gave it to me."

It's not hard to guess who it is.

Xin Yuan found a seat and sat down. "Wen Li?"

Zhu Yan didn't answer directly, but instead asked Xin Yuan, "Do you have one?"

"Ah."

Xin Yuan reached into his animal skin pouch and took out the amulet that Wen Li had given him.

"Let me see," Zhu Yan said.

Xin Yuan tossed the peace charm in his hand to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan took it and examined it carefully.

It didn't look as good as the one I had, so I returned it.

"That's inconvenient for you to carry around," Zhu Yan commented.

Xin Yuan took his own amulet, carefully put it back, and looked at Zhu Yan for a long while.

He blinked and said, "Brother, are you happy that Wen Li gave you something?"

Zhu Yan's smile froze instantly and quickly disappeared.

"Well, it's alright."

Xin Yuan lowered his eyes to suppress his smile.

He was quite happy to see that the relationship between Zhu Yan and Wen Li was gradually being repaired.

"Let's go, the rain has stopped, let's catch some fish."

Zhu Yan jumped out of bed.

Upon hearing this, Xin Yuan nodded, "Brother, I'll go with you."

After saying goodbye to Wen Li, the two went to the river to catch fish.

Before going into the water to catch fish, Zhu Yan even took off her bracelet and carefully put it away.

Xin Yuan, seeing this, joked, "Brother, you really cherish it."

Zhu Yan frowned, but her ears were burning. She said righteously, "I just think it would be a pity if it got ruined!"

The two reaped great rewards.

In the evening, after dinner, Wen Li checked her points as usual before going to bed.
