Chapter 246, Give Her to Me
The two people downstairs didn't notice the lamp holder who was about to explode in the corridor. After Si Xu took two photos, Jiang Ran called him over to take a photo together.
The man put down the camera, slowly adjusted his cuffs, and walked over to the girl.
"How do you take a photo?"
Jiang Ran held up his phone: "Look at my hand, no, look at the phone camera, right, like this."
As she spoke, she leaned forward and placed a kiss on his cheek, quickly pressing the camera button with her thumb.
"OK." The girl touched her lips, looked at the photo, and smiled like a gangster, "Hey, Si Xu, your ears are red."
Si Xu glanced at the silly-looking man with slightly wide eyes on the phone screen and said disdainfully: "Jiang Ran, how could you take such an ugly picture of me?"
Jiang Ran ignored his disdain and set the photo as her screensaver: "What's so ugly about him? He's so handsome, other girls would drool if they saw him."
"Really?" He began to think about who had drooled in front of him.
"Yes, look at you. You have so many little fangirls at Xiling Base, and people like Wei Yage are countless. Oh, the trouble of having a boyfriend who is too handsome."
When she mentioned Wei Ya Ge, Si Xu fell silent.
Upstairs, Jiang Suxin, who felt that she was being used for dog food, spoke expressionlessly, reminding the two that there was a third person here.
"I say, you two, if you want to take pictures, go outside - the lantern tower is a military base, no outsiders are allowed in."
Knowing that the person on the top floor was the old friend that Si Xu wanted to introduce to her, Jiang Ran replied obediently: "Okay, we'll leave after taking the photos."
Jiang Suxin: “…” You’ve already taken the photos, what’s the point of going out?
She snorted and turned back to her room.
The other party was obviously dissatisfied with her answer. Jiang Ran looked at Si Xu blankly: "Si Xu, your friend doesn't seem to like me?"
"Oh, we're not really friends." Si Xu decisively clarified the relationship between the two, "We're just partners in financial transactions."
Well, didn't you say this guy was your old friend? Jiang Ran looked at him suspiciously and followed him upstairs.
Jiang Suxin had already sat down on the sofa again, trying her best to make herself look like a big boss - so as not to be looked down upon by that bastard Si Xu.
Seeing the woman's sitting posture, Si Xu's mouth twitched, but he said nothing.
Jiang Ran peeked over from behind him and asked Si Xu in surprise, "Si Xu, does your friend have a problem with her cervical spine? She looks so tired sitting like this."
Jiang Suxin's forehead veins twitched when she heard the girl's mumbling. She calmly changed to a more comfortable sitting position, raised her chin, and asked Si Xu coldly: "What are you doing back again?"
Si Xu: “…Pfft.”
What is this woman doing? How can she look so stupid?
Jiang Suxin stood up angrily: "Si Xu, I'm asking you a question! What are you laughing at?"
Si Xu suppressed his smile and frowned slightly as he looked at the furious woman.
Being swept by his cold eyes, Jiang Suxin froze up, slowly withdrew her hand, and cleared her throat: "Tell me, what do you want to see me about?"
It's not that she's a coward. The guy in front of her is a big devil who kills without blinking an eye. If she really makes him angry, he can twist her into a dough twist without even using his hands.
This girl's expression changes so quickly. Jiang Ran muttered, and without waiting for Si Xu to introduce herself, she stood up and said, "Hello, I'm Professor Si's girlfriend Jiang Ran. Nice to meet you."
The girl's smile was soft, sweet and non-aggressive. Jiang Suxin felt as if her heart had turned into a pink bubble - she really didn't know how a bastard like Si Xu could find such a lovely girlfriend.
"I know you, Jiang Ranran, the only daughter of Shen Muxin, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and Professor Jiang Yize. You are twenty-one years old this year. Before the apocalypse, you studied at Shenmu University, majoring in journalism. After the apocalypse, you followed Si Xu's team back to Xiling and later worked at the Xiling base's crop laboratory."
Although it was just basic information, the other party was able to explain it in such detail that Jiang Ran couldn't help but exclaim: "Have you investigated me?"
Jiang Suxin showed a slightly smug expression: "Didn't Si Xu tell you what I do?"
Jiang Ran shook his head.
"I am the lamp keeper of this tower—do you know what the duties of a lamp keeper are?"
Lantern bearer? I've never heard of this profession before, but it sounds pretty impressive.
Jiang Ran shook his head again.
Jiang Su's eyes were filled with even greater pride: "The responsibility of a torchbearer is to point the way forward for the lost lambs. Therefore, understanding the lambs' past and seeing the future more clearly than they do is a skill I must possess. Do you understand?"
Jiang Ran seemed to understand but not quite.
Si Xu explained to her: "She is an intelligence dealer, selling the intelligence she obtains to those who need it."
Jiang Ran: "Oh, I see."
It's amazing how this person can make his job sound so noble.
"So, Lantern Bearer - is this the code name you chose yourself?" So childish.
Si Xu continued to answer on behalf of Jiang Suxin: "I guess so - information dealers are usually reluctant to reveal their true identities. The Light Bearer is the name she gave herself."
Jiang Suxin said in a flat tone: "Si Xu, could you please say less?"
Si Xu replied to her: "You talk too much, it's annoying to listen to."
Jiang Su was furious: "Then don't listen! You can go wait outside, you are not welcome here!"
"Oh my, stop arguing." Seeing the woman vomiting blood in anger, Jiang Ran stepped in in time to stop the two from hurting each other, "Aren't you old friends? It's not easy to meet each other--"
"Who is his old friend?" Jiang Suxin sneered, "This guy just saved my life when I was down and out. I have already repaid the favor."
"abjection?"
"Do you still remember what you said about Luo Yuting?" Si Xu pointed at Jiang Suxin. Seeing the woman's expression suddenly change, he did not hesitate to expose her past. "That woman who slept with Luo Yuting and refused to admit it was her."
Jiang Ran: “…”
Thinking she was hallucinating, she took three seconds to react.
Jiang Ran: "Ah?"
The girl Luo Yuting is looking for is the one in front of him?
"You...you are Su Xin?" She remembered that the original novel briefly mentioned the girl's name when writing about the ending of Luo Yuting and the girl.
"You know?" After asking, he realized that he had asked a very stupid question - this woman was with Si Xu, so of course she knew her identity.
"Looks like it's you." As a professional bystander, Jiang Ran hooked Si Xu's fingers and whispered, "Si Xu, since you know Su Xin, why didn't you tell me when I mentioned this?"
Si Xu imitated her, leaning over and whispering in her ear: "When I met her, she was being hunted by the supernatural beings of the Luo family in Nanjun. I originally thought she was an enemy of the Luo family, but after hearing you talk about Luo Yuting, I guessed her true identity."
I see.
Jiang Ran nodded repeatedly and gave him an admiring look: "Si Xu, you are so smart."
Si Xu pursed his lips and suppressed the curve of his mouth: "Well, it's just so-so."
Jiang Suxin, who was left aside, said: "...You two, have you had enough?"
She was provoked: "Si Xu, don't you want to exchange information with me?" With a sinister smile, she pointed at Jiang Ran and said, "Send her to me, and I will give you the information you want."
