Chapter 42, Watching the Show
In silence, feeling the warmth of the girl's fingers on his lips, Si Xu subconsciously moved his lips.
The young man's soft tongue licked his fingers. Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly withdrew his hand and became furious: "Si Si Si Si Xu, you you you..."
She remembered the first time they met, when this guy also licked her palm and then looked at her innocently like now.
Si Xu didn't realize there was anything wrong with his subconscious action just now: "What's wrong?"
Hearing such a righteous question, Jiang Ran's mouth twitched, and he pinched his fingers without saying a word.
This guy... really doesn't understand or is he just pretending not to understand? Such ambiguous actions...
Since she didn't say anything, Si Xu calmly skipped over the topic: "What are you doing out there alone?"
"Nothing." He changed the subject, and Jiang Ran didn't continue to dwell on it. "I just came out to get some fresh air..."
The girl's eyes dodged, Si Xu raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Ran, are you lying to me?"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in his tone, Jiang Ran stuck out her tongue and muttered, "I just... saw someone coming out, felt strange, and followed him out to see..."
"Someone's coming out?" Si Xu looked around. "Who?"
"...He Ru." As soon as she got off the car, she saw He Ru looking around and sneaking out the door. She thought the girl's behavior was a bit strange, so she followed her out to see what was going on.
Who knows...
Not interested in girls, Si Xu casually asked: "Where is she?"
"Uh." Jiang Ran blushed slightly, not knowing what she was thinking of. "It's, it's over there."
Looking in the direction of her finger, Si Xu frowned: "Over there..."
The direction Jiang Ran pointed to was a dense forest, surrounded by low, unknown shrubs with brown stems covered with tiny thorns. At first glance, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.
That kind of dense forest is very dangerous.
"Did that woman go to the woods?" Si Xu walked towards the dense forest. "Did she rush to deliver snacks to the zombies?"
It would be fine if she fed the zombies herself, but if the smell of her flesh and blood attracted more zombies or mutant beasts, it would affect the entire team.
"Um, Si Xu!" The young man moved very quickly. Jiang Ran had no time to stop him and quickly chased after him. "Don't go over there. She's not alone. She and..."
Before she finished speaking, the young man walking in front of her suddenly stopped.
Jiang Ran couldn't stop in time and bumped into his back: "Ugh!"
She rubbed her forehead and muttered: "Si Xu, why did you stop so suddenly? My nose was almost crooked..."
Before she could finish her complaint, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the woods, intermittent and mixed with low voices.
Knowing what the people in the woods were doing, Jiang Ran's face suddenly turned red.
She looked at Si Xu awkwardly, wanting him to stop disturbing her, but she saw the undisguised doubt in the young man's light brown eyes.
"Jiang Ran, is there anyone else in there?" He paused briefly and continued walking forward. "That woman seems to have been bitten by a zombie."
Bitten by a zombie? How do you know she was bitten by a zombie? Jiang Ran thought about it and showed a look of astonishment: No way, this guy thought... thought He Ru made that sound because she was injured?
"Si Xu!" Jiang Ran reached out to grab the young man, forgetting the embarrassment, and pulled him back a few steps. "Don't go over there, He Ru and Jiang Yu are in there—Jiang Yu is a psychic, he will be fine even if he encounters zombies."
Out of caution, she followed He Ru out of the warehouse, watched He Ru avoid the patrolling crowd, and after circling outside the woods twice and making sure that no one saw her, she decisively went into the woods.
Before she could figure out the meaning of the girls' actions, Jiang Yu, who had just returned from patrol, left the team and entered the woods.
Both of them had some grudges against her, so after thinking about it, she decided to follow them to see what was going on.
The two people first chatted with each other for a few trivial words, then started to touch each other, and finally it got out of control.
After hearing the girl's shy laughter, Jiang Ran decisively left the woods and stopped at the door to enjoy the cool breeze and calm his mind.
Those two...had they ever met before? Even if they had, it didn't seem like they were lovers.
Moreover, was He Ru really scared by her? Which man in the Ability Team was not a hundred times stronger than Jiang Yu, and she actually chose to be with Jiang Yu...
If she was still embarrassed by the scene she saw before, now... Jiang Ran held Si Xu's hand and led him back to the gate.
Along the way, she glanced at Si Xu from time to time. The questions on her lips could not be asked after she saw the young man's clear eyes.
"Jiang Ran." She was still struggling. Si Xu stopped, tightened his interlocked hands with hers, and pulled her towards him. "Your face is so red."
He leaned forward slightly as he spoke, getting closer. In the bright moonlight, Jiang Ran could clearly see his light brown eyes and the confusion in them.
"Hmm? Hmmmm..." Having just witnessed what happened, the heat on her face rose uncontrollably again when Si Xu approached her. Jiang Ran wanted to cry but had no tears. "You, say something, don't get so close to me..."
If you get too close, I can't help but want to kiss you.
The sudden thought in her mind made the girl's whole body burn. She shook off Si Xu's hand, jumped a few steps away, and fanned her cheeks with her hands.
After being shaken off, the confusion in Si Xu's eyes turned into dissatisfaction: "Jiang Ran."
When she looked over, he held his hand out in front of her, his meaning obvious.
Did she seem to have upset him? Jiang Ran silently repeated "prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony..." several times in her mind before holding his hand again.
His fingers were a little cold, so Jiang Ran held his hand in her palm: "Why are your hands so cold?"
Her attention finally returned to him. Si Xu narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Maybe it was the cold wind."
If Gu Yunqing were here, he would definitely complain without any hesitation: It's just a breeze, you are becoming more and more pampered!
Of course Jiang Ran wouldn't complain about him. After hearing what he said, she immediately forgot about the man and woman in the woods and what she had just seen, and took Si Xu's hand and walked towards the warehouse.
"The temperature is low at night, let's go inside."
…
Song Rong and his team who were out on patrol caught several wild rabbits from somewhere. Jiang Ran squatted by the fire and watched Gu Yunqing skillfully skin the rabbits.
"Ranran, I remember you said you were a good cook. Would you like to try roasting a rabbit?"
As soon as Gu Yunqing finished asking, Si Xu answered for her: "Don't try."
Jiang Ran, who had just replied with one word, said, "Okay..." and then changed her words to follow Si Xu's lead, "I don't think I'm very good at grilling. I'd better not waste food."
As a shrewd person among shrewd people, Gu Yunqing naturally heard Jiang Ran's abrupt change of words. He did not make things difficult for her. He handed the skinned rabbit to the water-based psychic in the team to clean it, washed his hands by the way, and went to the fire to dry them.
"I'm telling you, Ranran." Seeing that Si Xu's attention wasn't on them, Gu Yunqing grumbled to Jiang Ran, "You can't always indulge Si Xu's bad temper... He's been spoiled by you, and we're the ones who suffer, eh."
"Are you talking about me?" Before Jiang Ran could respond, Si Xu looked at Gu Yunqing and spoke sinisterly.
Gu Yunqing quickly jumped behind Su Qin and stuck half of his head out: "How dare I, how dare I, you heard it wrong, you heard it wrong, haha."
"You, if you're such a coward, don't try to provoke Ranran." Su Qin poked her lover's forehead in disdain and looked at Jiang Ran, "Ranran, don't listen to his nonsense."
Jiang Ran didn't take Gu Yunqing's words to heart, and in this situation, it was clearly Si Xu who was doting on her...
Just as she was thinking, a thick shawl fell on her shoulders. Si Xu sat down beside her and said, "It's drafty here. If you catch a cold, it will delay our trip."
Jiang Ran wrapped herself in the shawl obediently, thought for a moment, moved closer to him, and unfolded the shawl to wrap him up as well.
Through the dancing flames, one could see a young man and woman sitting together. The girl reached out with all her might and put the black shawl over the other shoulder of the young man.
Noticing her movements, the young man raised his hand to catch a corner of the shawl, fiddled with it for a few times, and then simply lifted the girl onto his legs and put her down, shaking out the shawl hanging on his arm and wrapping her tightly.
Feeling like he was being fed dog food again, Gu Yunqing tutted his tongue twice, rubbed against Su Qin, held her hand, and said coquettishly: "Wife, I'm cold."
Su Qin glanced at him with disdain: "Gu Yunqing, has your brain been eaten by zombies?" After saying that, she shook her arms and muttered, "What's wrong with you? You're suddenly so cheesy. Are you going to eat dinner or not..."
Gu Yunqing: “…” I really want to look up to the sky and yell “I’m having such a hard time!”
…
When Si Xu handed the crispy-on-the-outer and tender-on-the-inner roasted rabbit to Jiang Ran, He Ru and Jiang Yu came in from outside one after another.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Ran turned around to look at the two of them, sat down quietly, and continued to finish his dinner.
These two people are really brave. On such a dark and windy night, they dared to hang out in the deserted and pitch-black forest for such a long time.
…
On the other side, Zhou Jian also noticed the two people coming in one after the other. She glanced at Jiang Yu and waited for He Ru to sit next to her. She whispered, "Ruru, why did you come in with Jiang Yu?"
Having never taken Zhou Jian seriously, He Ru casually made up a lie: "I was bored after sitting in the car all day, so I went out for a walk. When I came back, I ran into Jiang Yu, and we came in together."
"Really?" Zhou Jian didn't doubt her words. The girl muttered, "I thought you were together."
"Haha, how could that be? I'm not familiar with him."
"Yeah, that's right." Glancing at Jiang Yu again, Zhou Jian said, "Actually, that guy is quite bad. When Jiang Ranran was around, he often showed his affection to her. Humph, a guy who only cares about appearances..."
Hearing the girl's mumbling, He Ru looked at her in surprise and blurted out, "Zhou Zhou, do you... do you like Jiang Yu?"
"Ah?" Zhou Jian shook his head reflexively. "How could I possibly like that kind of bad guy?! Ruru, stop kidding!"
Seeing such a strong reaction, and considering girls' complaints about men only looking at their faces, He Ru was completely certain of her guess.
Thinking of what had just happened, He Ru smiled smugly - so what if she was a superpower? The man that superpowers could not get fell at her feet and prostrated himself to her.
However, conquering a man like Jiang Yu was not difficult for her at all, so naturally there was no sense of pleasure in conquering him.
The girl touched the pink scar on her cheek and sneered: Jiang Ranran thought that if she destroyed her face, she would accept her fate? Haha, when she arrives at the base, it will be her time to show her skills. By then, will Jiang Ranran regret not killing her directly?
