He jumped back several steps.
"What the hell? It scared me."
When he turned his head, he met Jiang Xuanyan's sinister eyes, and was immediately frightened into silence by those cold eyes.
Sensitively feeling the strong coldness and undisguised murderous intent emanating from him, Huangmao did not dare to provoke him and could only curse softly.
"Grass--"
Then he lowered his head, cursed and left quickly.
"What the hell, wearing this late at night? Is this a real-life version of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?"
The man's depressed voice came from behind. Shen Ningzhu looked down at herself, then at the two people beside her, and couldn't help but twitching the corners of her mouth.
Arriving at the door of the villa, Shen Ningzhu's heartbeat accelerated as she tried to enter the password.
Six digits pressed.
“Crack—”
The door lock made a crisp unlocking sound.
The two best friends were very happy. The combination lock on the villa door had not been changed. It was great.
I entered the house carefully, turned on the lights, walked around the whole room inside and out, and went upstairs to check. I found that no one seemed to have lived here for a long time.
But they looked different from when they left three years ago. It was obvious that someone else had been there.
The two best friends looked at each other and saw affirmation in each other's eyes.
Forget it, let's not worry about it for now, it's good to have a place to stay. They washed up and went to the cloakroom to find modern clothes to change into.
I also found a set for Jiang Xuanyan.
"What are you looking at? I've prepared the water for you. Go clean up yourself. It's getting late. Wash up and sleep in that room."
Shen Ningzhu said unhappily.
Jiang Xuanyan pursed his lips and spoke pitifully with a hint of caution in his tone.
"But I'm injured."
Shen Ningzhu immediately frowned, “Either do as I say, or leave?”
Shen Ningzhu pointed at the door, her face full of impatience and unquestionable attitude.
Jiang Xuanyan touched his nose in disappointment, lowered his head and went into the bathroom obediently.
Shen Ningzhu then rolled her eyes in an indecent manner.
"He's always making trouble. Even after switching time and space, he still doesn't understand the situation. He wants me to be his maid and wait on him. What the hell do you want?"
Liu Zhiyi was almost laughing to death.
"Zhuzhu, you are finally a liberated serf singing."
Chen Ningzhu wiped her nose coolly with her thumb, raised her chin high, and raised her eyebrows.
"No, it feels so fucking good."
The two girlfriends laughed and went to the kitchen hand in hand. They found instant dumplings in the refrigerator, but they were expired. There was also rice and flour in the cupboard, but they were all green.
It seems I will have to go hungry tonight.
The two best friends rubbed their shoulders, looked at each other in silence, and went back to their room to sleep.
On the second day, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear and cloudless.
A gentle warm breeze blew in from the window, and the air carried the unique humidity of Haicheng, which was completely different from the dry climate of Jiangguo’s capital.
Shen Ningzhu had just gotten up and was drowsily walking down the stairs holding the handrail when she saw Liu Zhiyi walking in from the door, holding various breakfast items in her hands.
His eyes widened in shock.
"Xiaoyi, where did you get the money to buy these?"
After one night, Liu Zhiyi seemed to have completely come out of his depressed mood. He now had a happy look on his face, raised the food bag in his hand and raised his eyebrows at her.
As he entered the house, he handed her breakfast and explained while changing into his slippers.
"Isn't it easy to get money?"
"Just the clothes and accessories we three wear, if we sell any one of them, would be enough to buy an apartment in a first-tier city."
"Hey, you know, I used to know some friends from all walks of life. Although they've changed their appearance now, they're reliable. I went to them to do this a long time ago."
Shen Ningzhu was stunned, and when she thought about the fancy clothes and jewelry she had specially changed to keep a low profile, she instantly became emo.
The emotional clown is actually herself?
Liu Zhiyi covered her lips and smiled.
"Stop looking so constipated, okay?"
"Think positively. Plans can't keep up with changes. What you thought before was right. Besides, the thing I used today was the jade hairpin you wore on your head when you came here."
Every piece of her clothing was a wedding item carefully selected for her by Song Hanchuan.
Those things were either made by craftsmen in the palace, or they were made of materials selected by him personally and carved by him one by one according to the drawings she drew.
In order to do those things, his hands with distinct finger bones were covered with scars.
So she was reluctant to sell any of these things.
As for what Jiang Xuanyan was wearing, without exception, they were all made in the palace. Such things would be too eye-catching if they were sold.
The hairpin on Chen Ningzhu's head was very suitable, but it was too worthless, so it was sold for only tens of thousands.
Fortunately, it is enough for the time being.
"Okay, hurry up and get ready for breakfast. We have your favorite fried dough sticks and crab roe soup dumplings."
Shen Ningzhu's eyes lit up instantly.
"Wow, wow, wow, my sisters still love me. Wait for me, I'll go wash up now."
Chen Ningzhu ran back to the second floor. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she screamed in shock and almost fainted.
"Ahhh, this, this, who did this? Didn't turn off the shower?"
When Liu Zhiyi heard the sound, he hurried upstairs. Sure enough, he saw that the bathroom was about to flood. He was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Shen Ningzhu had already tiptoed to turn off the faucet, cursing under her breath.
"It must be that jinx."
"Yesterday, seeing he was injured, I kindly adjusted the water temperature for him before letting him in to take a shower. But he didn't even bother to turn off the tap after he was done."
Liu Zhiyi had a numb expression on his face and pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly.
In order to avoid suspicion, she stayed on the first floor last night.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ningzhu didn't teach Jiang Xuanyan how to use those things in the bathroom.
Jiang Xuanyan was an ancient man and had never seen those things before, so how could he know how to operate them? He probably used them as living water hot springs.
However, when Jiang Xuanyan was mentioned, Liu Zhiyi couldn't help but feel very puzzled:
"Strange, it's already this late, why hasn't he gotten up yet?"
She muttered to herself and looked around, trying to find the familiar figure, but found nothing.
Shen Ningzhu, who was standing aside, was also slightly stunned after hearing this, and then immediately agreed:
"Something's definitely amiss. With all the noise we made, he should have been here by now."
After saying that, the two of them looked puzzled and exchanged glances secretly.
At the same time, she quickly walked to Jiang Xuanyan's door, and Shen Ningzhu raised her hand and knocked on the door gently a few times.
However, the room was silent, without any sound.
Seeing this situation, the two best friends suddenly felt uneasy.
Shen Ningzhu no longer hesitated and turned the doorknob directly.
Fortunately, the door was not locked and opened easily.
Liu Zhiyi stood outside the door waiting for news, while Chen Ningzhu walked in without hesitation.
As soon as she stepped into the room, Shen Ningzhu immediately noticed something was wrong.
