Qiao Xuejun took the can and said, "Thank you, Lord. I'll make you some roasted rabbit jerky when we get back."
Zhao Xian raised his lips: "Okay, I'll wait."
"Is the seed bank far from here?" Qiao Xuejun asked while sitting at the coffee table.
Zhao Xian sat opposite her: "The financial building is on the ice field, and it's another two hours' walk to the north."
Qiao Xuejun put the can in front of her and completely removed the half-open lid: "Two hours?"
“It takes more time to go around by boat.”
Besides, seeds are not as heavy as steel. You only need a bag to carry them back, so you can just walk there.
The can was hot, and Zhao Xian even brought her a spoon.
The canned braised beef has large chunks of beef and diced potatoes as a side dish. It is steaming hot and has a rich meaty aroma.
Qiao Xuejun scooped a spoonful with a spoon.
"Host, be careful!" Suddenly, the system sounded an alarm, "Host, do you want to eat?"
Qiao Xuejun paused: "What?"
The system was worried: "Is it possible that the villain wants to poison you?"
Qiao Xuejun: “?”
She replied calmly: "Is there some kind of contagious epilepsy in Shen Xingtang's system? Did you absorb any dirty stuff from it?"
The system was anxious: "Host, you know the secret of the villain's killing. Could it be that he has discovered it? What if he wants to silence you? For example, poison you... He gave you canned food for no reason!"
Qiao Xuejun didn't hesitate at all: "Impossible."
System: “Why?”
Qiao Xuejun: "Zhao Xianren is very good and won't harm me."
The system was still a little uneasy: "How do you know he won't? He is very scheming, and even the heroine was killed by him. And he definitely doesn't want outsiders to know about this, but you know it."
Qiao Xuejun couldn't stand it and asked, "Shouldn't Shen Xingtang die? She summoned so many swordfish to cause trouble. How many people would die if something unexpected happened? Shouldn't she die? I don't think there's anything wrong with Zhao Xian."
"Also, what do you mean you don't want outsiders to know? Do we need to make this kind of thing known to the whole world?"
The system still hesitated: "But, host, the database told me that he is a dangerous person. Host, you'd better stay away from him..."
"You're not human, you don't understand. Shut up."
"Are you afraid of the heat?" Seeing that Qiao Xuejun hadn't eaten yet, Zhao Xian reminded her, "Eat it while it's hot. The beef will become hard when it gets cold. Be careful not to choke."
Qiao Xuejun suddenly felt unhappy.
She looked at Zhao Xian: "It seems a little strange that Shen Xingtang fell into that ice pit today."
After she finished speaking, she stared at Zhao Xian intentionally or unintentionally.
"Strange?"
Zhao Xian raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of doubt just right, as if he had no idea what Qiao Xuejun was talking about.
Qiao Xuejun stopped eating and let the spoon cool down. "Well, didn't someone say that she looked like she was shot? And why did she fall into the ice pit out of nowhere?"
The system simply can't stand this stimulation, is that something you can say?
"It's too dangerous! Host, you made it too obvious. If you, an outsider, are exposed for knowing his secret, Zhao Xian will kill you!"
But what surprised the system was that Zhao Xian unexpectedly remained calm and said simply: "The scene was chaotic at the time, and it is not impossible that he was shot."
Zhao Xian did not refute or guide, he just chatted with them whenever they wanted, and there was no sign of anything unusual. It seemed as if the matter really had nothing to do with him.
If Qiao Xuejun hadn't confirmed it, I would have definitely believed his lies.
As expected of the captain of the Mountain Leopard Squadron, he is good at identifying lies and even better at telling lies himself. He acted so conscientiously, who could see through him?
She put the spoon into the can and looked directly at Zhao Xian: "What if I say that I shot and killed Shen Xingtang?"
The system screamed: "Host, what are you doing!" What's the difference between this and self-destruction? It's too dangerous!
Just as the system was preparing to face Zhao Xian's change of expression and to have a serious conversation, Zhao Xian's reaction was still beyond its expectations.
He was surprised for a moment, then seemed to think about it and answered: "No. Teacher Qiao, you are in a position separated from Shen Xingtang by a group of swordfish, so the vision is wrong. If you insist on saying it was a shooting, the conditions on the opposite side of the Whale Gang are more convenient."
It seems like he is analyzing it seriously.
It has come to this point.
Qiao Xuejun laughed angrily: "Zhao Xian, I want to ask, when you act stupid, do you have any facial expression management? Where do your eyebrows move and how many times do you blink your eyes? Are there any rules?"
Zhao Xian finally stopped maintaining that flawless expression and calmed down.
You could hear a pin drop in the room.
He leaned back in his chair, and after a while, he whispered, "You saw it."
Qiao Xuejun responded without thinking, "Yes, I saw it. So, do you want to kill him to silence him?"
Zhao Xian suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Xuejun.
"You... think so?" His eyes changed instantly, and even his voice was wrong.
Qiao Xuejun also realized that she shouldn't have said that, so she changed her words and said, "No. I didn't think so. I just felt that you were already so tired every day, and if you were acting at this time, wouldn't you be even more tired?"
Those words really hurt.
Qiao Xuejun felt a little regretful.
It’s all the system’s fault. Everyone calls me a villain and someone who silences me.
Qiao Xuejun continued to explain: "At least with me, you don't need to act. I know why you did this, and I can understand. I don't want to question you, nor do I want to doubt you. Zhao Xian, aren't we friends?"
"You don't have to act so hard when you're here with me."
She spoke in a lower voice: "I told you everything about my difficulties, didn't I? I didn't treat you as an outsider."
