Chapter 18 Yachts.
Lu Nange took out plates of steaming hot food from her system inventory. The rising steam instantly filled the surrounding area with an enticing aroma.
Chi Yanzhou looked down at Lu Nange: "Put it away. It's best not to tell anyone about it in the future..."
Lu Nange glanced at him, nodded slightly, and obediently put the food back into her system inventory.
However, she wasn't stupid. If Lu Xici and the male lead were planning to take those guys with them and eat the supplies she had painstakingly saved up every day...
She doesn't care if he's the eldest brother or the male lead, to hell with it!
At worst, I'll grit my teeth, steel my resolve, and become a lone wolf.
Fortunately, Lu Xici and Chi Yanzhou were both sensible and didn't try to take her supplies. In this light, it seems that I was the one who was being petty.
Chi Yanzhou looked at the little girl in front of him. Her light chestnut pupils were as clear as amber, and her doe-like eyes were moist as they moved.
I let out a soft sigh...
Forcing himself to look away, he glanced sideways at Lu Xici: "Chi Yi is still downstairs guarding the boat. We'll bring the food up in a bit, rest for two days, and then we'll go back to Beijing."

In the evening, a group of people sat together eating self-heating rice.
Wen An poked at the rice in the bowl with the spoon in his hand, and couldn't help but purse his lips.
She secretly grumbled to herself, thinking that if she had known the journey would be so arduous, she should have stayed in Beijing and waited for them to return.
Throughout the journey, he neither ate nor slept well, and Ji Xian kept a close watch on him like a thief, preventing him from getting close to Chi Yanzhou and Gu Qi.
She has to keep Gu Wan, this androgynous woman, company every day. It's so annoying.
The Ji family and the He family were of similar social standing, but He Zhuo was a heartless playboy, far inferior to Ji Xian.
Lu Xici is good-looking, but with two kids in tow, his family's supermarket is probably flooded. With those conditions, he'd be too good to be a backup option.
Ji Xian sat down next to Wen An and, seeing that his girlfriend hadn't eaten much, whispered in her ear, "Eat a little more. I'll take you out for something delicious when we get back to Beijing in a couple of days."
Wen An pouted slightly and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother Xian is still the best to me!"
Upon hearing this, He Zhuo and Gu Wan, who were engrossed in their meal, simultaneously shuddered as if they had been electrocuted, their skin breaking out in goosebumps.
Lu Nange happened to be sitting opposite Wen An. When she looked up, she met Wen An's pouting lips.
Her head was filled with a 360-degree surround sound, you say "pouting lips," pouting pouting pouting...
It's so catchy, she almost sang along!
...
After the meal, Ji Xian carried a bucket of water in one hand and a thermos in the other, and took Wen An downstairs to wash up.
Lu Nange handed a flashlight and a few candles to Wen An.
As soon as the two left, He Zhuo and Gu Wan seemed to have broken free of their restraints at the same time, letting out a long sigh of relief.
He leaned back and fell heavily onto the sofa.
He Zhuo: "I'm so frustrated! I really didn't know when Ji Xian went blind."
Gu Wan rubbed her temples and chided, "Who says otherwise! She's already in her mid-twenties, and she still talks to me in such a high-pitched voice. I really can't stand it!"
Gu Qi looked at the two of them calmly: "We don't interact often anyway, so just bear with it and it will pass. Don't gossip about others behind their backs."
Upon hearing this, He Zhuo immediately sat up straight, his face full of indignation: "Last time she almost fell into my arms, if I hadn't run fast..."
She almost lost her innocence! She even whispered in Lao Ji's ear, saying that if I had caught her, she wouldn't have fallen to the ground.
If I had known Ji Xian was going to bring her along, I wouldn't have come. But no, if I hadn't come, I would have missed Nan Nan's and A Ye's first meeting.
I should have known better than to travel with her; this journey has been agonizing.
Gu Wan sat up as well, nodding repeatedly: "Me too, she called Nan Nan 'sister' as soon as she came in."
I dug my way out of a three-bedroom apartment with my toes; I technically retreated 800 meters.
The group all turned to look at Lu Nange, who was helping Lu Beiye build Lego.
The gazes were so intense that the two siblings looked up and returned the look.
He Zhuo couldn't contain his curiosity: "Nan Nan, that guy who just left, he stinky... no, no, that's not right."
"That girl with the smirking tone, she called you 'sister'?"
Lu Beiye blinked and replied first, "Yeah, I called her auntie! Her face turned dark, it was so funny."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wan burst out laughing, slapped the sofa next to her, and laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Hahaha, no wonder she looked so constipated back then, turns out she was stunned by you calling her 'Auntie', A Ye."
The others couldn't help but smile, their eyes crinkling and their lips curving upwards.
***
Before leading He Zhuo and Gu Wan downstairs, Gu Qi looked back.
Chi Yanzhou was sitting on a beanbag chair, playing Lego with Lu Nange and her brother.
Gu Qi: "Should we go and relieve Chi Yi in the middle of the night?"
Chi Yanzhou: "No need, you all should get some rest."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qi did not press the matter further.
Chi Yanzhou is always thorough in his work, so if he said that, he must have made arrangements.
So, Gu Qi took the things handed to him by Lu Xici and went downstairs with He Zhuo and Gu Wan.
Lu Xici closed the stairwell door and came back, raising an eyebrow at the three people under the lamp. They seemed quite harmonious!
"Ayan, when are we going?"
Chi Yanzhou looked at Lu Nange: "I wonder if Nan Nan has an air mattress in her space?"
Lu Nange took the air mattress directly out of her system inventory.
Chi Yanzhou got up, drew back the curtains, and glanced out the window: "Let's go?"
Inside the stairwell, Lu Xici carried the short-legged Lu Beiye in one arm and held Lu Nange's hand with the other, walking behind Chi Yanzhou.
He insisted on the four of them traveling together—he was worried that Chi Yanzhou and Nan Nan might encounter danger if they went out alone, but he was also worried about leaving Lu Beiye alone at home.
After much thought, this is the safest approach.
The four men nimbly flipped into the yacht.
Chi Yanzhou handed over the flashlight: "Chi Yi, go wait for us on the sixteenth floor."
Chi Yi took the flashlight and quickly disappeared into the darkness of the stairwell.
The night rain poured down, and large raindrops pounded against the yacht's windows, blurring the outside world.
Chi Yanzhou carefully circled the residential area a few times on his yacht, then turned off the headlights and quietly parked the yacht in a blind spot.
Lu Nange took out the assault boat and threw it onto the water.
After the four people were safely transferred, she raised her hand, and the huge yacht disappeared instantly.
Despite having seen it many times, Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici couldn't help but exchange a glance—this spatial ability seemed unbelievable no matter how they looked at it!
