Chapter 24, We Are Not Familiar
While the girls were whispering, Jiang Ran was concentrating on eating.
Since the first feeding, Si Xu seemed keen on picking up food for her.
"Si Xu, eat by yourself." Jiang Ran said softly, unable to eat any more. "I'm full."
"You only ate this little?" Si Xu paused with his chopsticks. "Today's food doesn't suit your taste?"
"No, I eat a lot." Does this guy have some misunderstanding about girls' appetite?
"You can eat more. You're too thin—people will think I'm abusing you."
Jiang Ran: “…”
Seeing that he was still trying to pick up some food for her, Jiang Ran made a quick decision and put a piece of beef to his mouth, "Ah..."
More than a dozen pairs of eyes at their table looked over.
Si Xu: “…” He opened his mouth and ate calmly.
Oh, she kept picking up food for her, and he seemed to have not eaten much. Jiang Ran picked up another piece of soft and glutinous potato for him according to her own taste.
Si Xu continued to eat from her hand.
Others at the table: “…”
Gu Yunqing clicked his tongue twice. "Si Xu, Jiang Ran, can you two go back to your rooms to eat next time?"
Can you please consider the public's feelings? There are people like him who are forced to be separated from their girlfriends in long-distance relationships! And there are so many single people who don't even have girlfriends!
"Oh." Si Xu smiled slightly, "I have no objection - you can send the food to my room next time."
Damn it! This guy is getting more and more shameless! Gu Yunqing bared his teeth: "Let Ranran get it from the kitchen herself!"
"Ah." Jiang Ran nodded. "Sure—actually, I'm a pretty good cook. Tomorrow I can..." After following the team for so many days, it seemed like she hadn't done anything at all.
"No." Si Xu interrupted her proposal coldly, "It's not necessary."
Jiang Ran: "Oh."
She didn't take Si Xu's cold tone to heart and continued to pick up food for him.
Gu Yunqing: "..." Why not? Isn't it nice to have a girl cook for you? Look at the dishes made by these rough old men, don't you think they taste bad?!
Glancing at Gu Yunqing who was making faces, Si Xu asked, "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Gu Yunqing: "..."
The man sighed and continued to eat. He Ru watched the interaction between the three of them. When she saw Si Xu scolding Jiang Ran, she took the initiative to speak: "Captain Gu, Si Xu, I can cook too. Why don't you leave this kind of thing to me from now on?"
"Really?" Gu Yunqing's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Then I'll trouble you—I'm almost vomiting from eating Xiao Chen's cooking these past few days."
Xiao Chen, who was suddenly called out, felt aggrieved: Captain, you are going too far. You are about to vomit, but you don’t even do it yourself!
After getting Gu Yunqing's consent, He Ru immediately looked at Si Xu, wanting to know his reaction.
"What are you looking at?" Noticing Jiang Ran's absent-mindedness, Si Xu grabbed her wrist with dissatisfaction.
Taking his eyes away from the girl's disappointed face, Jiang Ran smiled softly: "Nothing."
This He Ru is quite interesting. Ever since she followed them back, it seems like her eyes have never left Si Xu.
She wouldn't look at her boss, would she?
Thinking of what Luo Rui had just whispered to her, Jiang Ran frowned slightly: What would Luo Rui say to He Ru? Would she instigate her to seduce Si Xu?
Unexpectedly, this villain boss is so popular. Jiang Ran looked at Si Xu: Well, just looking at this face is quite pleasing to the eye. If this guy could be more humane, he would surely attract countless girls to come to him.
…
After dinner, He Ru consciously helped to clean up the dishes. During this time, Luo Rui came to her and told her that she and Yi Xi would be temporarily arranged in the same room.
Yi Xi... looked at the tall girl standing next to Luo Rui. He Ru extended her hand in a friendly manner: "Hello."
Yi Xi didn't shake her hand, but nodded: "Hello."
Knowing that the girl was a person with superpowers, He Ru did not get angry even though she was offended.
She naturally withdrew her hand and glanced at the uncleaned dishes: "I still have to clean these things, or you can come to me later and I will go to the room with you..."
Hearing her say this, Xiao Chen beside her hurriedly said: "It's okay here, you and Yi Xi can go back together, and you can also familiarize yourself with the environment here."
Luo Rui continued, "Okay." She looked at Yi Xi, "Yi Xi, make arrangements for her and come to my room to find me."
"I see."
…
Because there weren't many girls on the team, Yi Xi and Zhou Jian shared a room. However, Zhou Jian had another patrol that evening and wasn't back yet.
After briefly introducing the room and the team to He Ru, Yi Xi went out to find Luo Rui.
Watching the girl leave, He Ru casually walked around the room and slipped out quietly.
…
Aside from the night watchmen and patrolmen, there was no one else in the corridor. There was no electricity, and the second-floor corridor was completely dark.
Yi Xi had not walked a few steps out of the room when he saw Jiang Ran coming up from the living room holding a candle.
"Yi Xi?" The girl's figure looked very frail under the dim candlelight. She greeted her with a gentle smile, "I haven't rested yet."
After eating her candy, Yi Xi couldn't ignore her existence, so he nodded stiffly: "I'll go find Luo Rui."
"At this hour?" Jiang Ran said jokingly, "She might be having a sweet time with her boyfriend right now. Aren't you afraid of disturbing them if you go now?"
"Luo Rui asked me to go." Yi Xi looked at her. "You have a man too, aren't you running around outside? It seems that Professor Si is not a man who is impatient for sex."
Jiang Ran was choked and speechless - if she told her that Si Xu had never done anything to her until now, would Yi Xi suspect that there was something wrong with Si Xu?
Since they were on the same route, Jiang Ran and Yi Xi went to Luo Rui's room together.
When I arrived at Luo Rui's room, the door was not completely closed, leaving a small gap. However, because there was no light in the room, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
Yi Xi was about to knock on the door when he heard a noise in the room and stopped abruptly.
Jiang Ran looked at her doubtfully, took two steps closer, and heard the ambiguous sounds of lovemaking coming from the crack of the door.
"No, we have to get up early tomorrow to go into the city..." The soft and sweet voice belonged to Luo Rui.
Xie Chengzhi breathed slightly as he spoke: "Just once."
"No, I'm in a bad mood today..." Saying that she was in a bad mood made it sound more like she was acting like a spoiled child.
"Huh? Who made my Ruirui angry?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's you!"
Xie Chengzhi said innocently: "Me? What did I do?"
"It's all because of you. Yi Xi always targets me. Can't you see? She likes you!"
"Ah?" Xie Chengzhi in the room and Jiang Ran in the corridor asked at the same time.
Yi Xi froze, not daring to look back at Jiang Ran's expression.
"You said Yi Xi likes me?" Xie Chengzhi laughed, "Rui Rui, you're trying to scare me!"
"Someone likes you, how can that be considered as scaring you?"
"Are you trying to scare me? A woman with Yi Xi's personality... I don't want to be liked by her. It's simply a disaster, okay?"
"That's really too much..." Luo Rui chuckled and said slowly, "But it's true that she likes you—she likes you, so she doesn't like me and is targeting me everywhere..."
"Hmm..." Xie Chengzhi mused, "If it's really because of me, I'll go and explain it to her in person."
"say what?"
"Let her give up - I will only love you in this life. I won't even look at other women." The boy said touching words of love, "If her personal feelings affect the harmony of the team, I will ask her to leave the team."
"You are so heartless..."
Luo Rui seemed to be blaming her boyfriend, but there was no anger in her voice, only a satisfied laugh.
Soon, the voices were replaced by other ambiguous sounds.
Jiang Ran naturally knew what the two people in the room were doing. She looked at Yi Xi awkwardly, and also figured out why Luo Rui asked her to come over.
Jiang Ran sighed: The heroine is the heroine, she kills people without being seen, she is so powerful, so scary.
Who would have thought that Yi Xi actually liked Xie Chengzhi? What was there to like about that kind of bastard?
After standing with his hands hanging for a few seconds, Yi Xi turned stiffly and walked downstairs step by step.
Jiang Ran hurriedly chased after him: "Yi Xi, now..." It was already late, it was not suitable to go out.
"Leave me alone!" Yi Xi lowered his voice, a hint of sob could be heard in his cold voice, "Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Jiang Ran stopped and whispered, "Do you want a candle?"
"don't want!"
"oh."
After watching Yi Xi leave the villa, Jiang Ran turned around and walked towards her room. When she passed Luo Rui's door, for some reason, she raised her hand and knocked on the door, then changed her voice to a rough one: "Sorry to bother you, Captain Xie, Captain Gu has something urgent to talk to you about!"
After saying that, he ran to his room.
…
Back in the room, Jiang Ran put down the candle, patted his chest and gasped.
"What's wrong?" Si Xu on the balcony put out his cigarette and walked towards her.
"It's okay." Not wanting to talk about the awkwardness just now, Jiang Ran looked at the approaching man and wrinkled her nose. "Si Xu, why are you wearing so little?"
The young man had just finished taking a shower and was only wearing a bathrobe, without even a coat.
"You'll catch a cold if you go out on the balcony dressed like this." She muttered while holding his hand, "Look, your hands are so cold."
Cold? Si Xu tried to move his fingers: "It's okay, I'm not cold."
"But you're so cold. I'll feel uncomfortable if you hug me." Jiang Ran said seriously, "I might even catch a cold."
"ah."
"So, don't go outside in such thin clothes and blow the cold wind."
Si Xu responded obediently: "Okay."
Jiang Ran was satisfied and let go of his hand: "I'm going to take a shower."
"Um."
…
Not long after Jiang Ran entered the bathroom, someone knocked on the door.
Si Xu, who was hesitating whether to go out for a second cigarette, heard a knock on the door, gave up the idea of smoking, and went to open the door.
"Si Xu." He Ru stood at the door, looking at him with bright eyes, and whispered, "I have something I want to talk to you about. Is it free for you now?"
The girl's cheeks were slightly red, her smile was shy, and her voice was soft, which was quite suggestive - in the past, whenever she showed such an expression in the team, no man had ever been willing to reject her.
Si Xu, who couldn't remember who this woman was, replied expressionlessly: "It's inconvenient."
He Ru: “…”
Seeing the man was about to close the door after answering, He Ru quickly suppressed her smile and put on a serious expression: "It's about some special circumstances in Wuzhong City. I..."
"Oh." Si Xu finally remembered who this woman was.
Thinking he agreed, He Ru smiled again and said: "If you don't mind, I can come into the room and talk, we..."
If she entered the room now, the woman would definitely feel resentful when she saw her - as long as she provoked a conflict between the two of them, she would have more opportunities.
"For information about Wuzhong City, go find Gu Yunqing. He's in the third room on your left." Si Xu thought she didn't understand the team's configuration, so he explained simply, "Gu Yunqing is the team leader."
"But I'm more familiar with you, you..." Why did she look for Gu Yunqing? She didn't want Gu Yunqing!
"We're not familiar with each other." Si Xu interrupted the girl impatiently with a cold face, "Besides, after Jiang Ran takes a shower, we'll go to bed."
Just as Si Xu finished speaking, an embarrassed girl's voice came from the bathroom: "Si Xu, I forgot to take my pajamas. Can you help me get them and just put them at the door? Thank you."
Si Xu: "Oh."
The man turned and went into the room to find pajamas for the girl, closing the door casually.
With a bang, the thick door panel almost hit her nose.
He Ru: “…”
