Jiang Li's cold came on quickly and went away quickly. After staying at home for two days, she was mostly recovered. Her back and legs were no longer sore, and she had the energy to cause trouble again.
Rong Mo was kicked out of his house early in the morning to do a mission, ostensibly for the sake of victory. Although he didn't know what his precious wife wanted to win, Rong Mo still gave in.
Before leaving, he repeatedly told Jiang Li to stay home and rest, but as soon as he left, he went to room number 2 to complain to A Ning that Qi Yan had threatened to make him eat vegetarian food last night, which was outrageous.
But I never expected that the world outside would change so drastically in just two days of illness.
Jiang Li watched numbly as Qi Yan, that little devil, clung to A Ning, feeding her left and kissing her right, even more affectionate than when he and A Mo first got together. They were so lovey-dovey it was almost sickening.
Wasn't her only competitor Ah Zhao and her husband? How did a dark horse emerge?
Could it be that his terrible idea somehow ended up helping this guy by sheer luck?
A chill ran down her spine, goosebumps covered her skin, and Jiang Mouli, who had been too clever for her own good, angrily wrapped herself up tighter.
"Ah Li, have some fruit," Luan Yining said considerately.
Qi Yan followed behind, smiling like a virtuous househusband, and said, "Yes, eat more to boost your immunity."
"..." Jiang Li grinned, her smile forced, but a chill ran down her spine.
Qi Yan continued to smile, resting his head on Luan Yining's shoulder like a white lotus flower just emerging from the water: "Wife, this time it's all thanks to Brother Jiang for coming up with the idea."
Jiang Li gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "You're welcome!"
The three words seemed to carry a murderous aura as he spoke them. Their eyes met, and a sense of impending doom flashed between them. Luan Yining sat between the two, helplessly rubbing her forehead.
Fortunately, Tong Zhao, the little savior, arrived just in time. With his arrival, Jiang Li finally had someone to confide in, and Luan Yining was able to bring Qi Yan back to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner.
Ten minutes later, Tong Zhao and Jiang Li nestled together on the sofa, hugging their pillows, watching Luan Yining busy in the kitchen and Qi Yan, the conjoined twins clinging to his back. Their expressions were identically incredulous.
"Ah Zhao, do you think Qi Yan has cast a spell on Ah Ning?"
How can you tolerate not beating him up?
"..." After a moment, Comrade Tong Zhao, a materialist, stood up in a daze: "I'll go call Shan Song over." The magical little brother wanted to watch together.
Jiang Li struggled to extend Er Kang's hand from under the blanket: "You absolutely have to come back!"
Tong Zhao immediately realized what was happening, took over the role, and, holding Jiang Li's hand, said with tears in her eyes, "Definitely!"
They even started acting...
[Wow, they're so cute!]
[So what kind of spell did Qi Yan cast on Professor Luan? He's spoiled this kid like a baby, it's unbearable to watch!]
As soon as Tong Zhao stepped out and got away from the cameras, he immediately took out his phone and started scrolling through clips of live streams from the past few days online, trying to figure out what they had missed in the past two days, and when Qi Yan had learned it all on his own. He had to share this good news with Shan Song.
Just as she was about to walk a few steps faster, she looked up and saw Qin Chong turning from the intersection and standing on the road he had to take to get back. Judging from the direction he was heading, he was also going to Room 2. Tong Zhao, who had been relaxed, immediately frowned. She felt a little annoyed. Why was he here too?
Fortunately, he was alone and was thinking of passing by each other without interfering with each other, when the person suddenly called out to him: "Tong Zhao".
Tong Zhao closed his eyes, exhaled, and said in a cold tone, "Is there something you need?"
Qin Chong looked him up and down for a moment, then said in a strange tone, "You're quite lucky."
Tong Zhao was confused and frowned, glaring at him.
Qin Chong scoffed lightly: "Shan Song has already taken revenge for you before, let's just consider this history over."
Where did you get the nerve?
Qin Chong raised his head slightly, gave him a mocking glance, turned around and walked away arrogantly, as if he had done it just to say those two inexplicable words.
What's wrong with this person?
Tong Zhao watched his retreating figure, a question mark slowly appearing above her head.
When they returned to the cabin, Shan Song was still tidying up firewood in the yard. Bundles of chopped firewood were neatly stacked on one side of the cabin. Perhaps because he felt hot while working, Shan Song was only wearing a high-necked undershirt with the sleeves rolled up slightly. The veins on his arms were bulging, and the taut muscle contours were pressed against the thin layer of fabric as he moved.
Tong Zhao stared at it for a while, her heart pounding twice, and the gloom she had just felt vanished completely.
He sneaked behind the Alpha, ready to hug him, but the Alpha, who had already noticed him, turned around and hugged him tightly: "You ambushed me?"
Tong Zhao smiled shyly, then wrapped her arms around Shan Song's neck. Her wrist touched his neck and she flinched slightly from the warmth of his skin, but then she seemed to find it comfortable and lingered on his arm.
Dan Song wrapped his arms around his thighs, pulling him close to his waist, and said with a smile, "Why have you become so clingy after just one trip? Hmm? Baby?"
Tong Zhao's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously looked for the camera, but Shan Song covered her face and turned her head back. After staring at each other for two seconds, Shan Song narrowed his eyes: "Unhappy?"
"Huh?" You can tell from that?
Tong Zhao's expression was so surprised that it was tantamount to admitting his mistake.
Dan Song raised an eyebrow, her eyes conveying the same message: "Go ahead, you have a husband."
After understanding, Tong Zhao chuckled to herself for a while, then spoke with bright eyes: "I'm not unhappy, it's just that I ran into Qin Chong just now."
Although he felt that Qin Chong's confusing behavior probably wouldn't help Shan Song in dealing with Geng Keli, he still explained everything in detail.
After hearing him finish speaking, Shan Song clicked his tongue and said, "Looks like he's jealous of our Zhaozhao."
Tong Zhao's eyes widened. Is that what you mean?
Why does he feel like he's cutting ties with them? He definitely doesn't believe it if you say you want to be on good terms with them.
Dan Song pondered for a moment: "If these are the only two sentences, I think they represent two things: first, the Qin family's attitude is neutral; second, they do not intend to antagonize us again."
"Can he represent the Qin family? Didn't they say last time that the Qin family was still gathering smaller clans to expand their power? Could it be that they're conserving their strength to make us lower our guard?"
"It's not impossible, so we should be more careful around him, but—"
"But what?" Tong Zhao asked curiously, noticing that Shan Song's smile seemed a little... mischievous.
"Compared to Geng Keli's attempt to sow discord among the Qi brothers, Qin Chong's marriage to Geng Keli seems to be a better opportunity to exploit the loopholes."
"Huh?" A counter-espionage plot? How did they get here?
"Just a gut feeling." Shan Song winked at Tong Zhao, lifted her up slightly with his hand on her waist, and then asked, "Weren't you going to Professor Luan's place? Why are you back?"
"Oh," Tong Zhao remembered, patted Shan Song on the shoulder, and said with delight, "Qi Yan and A Ning are suddenly making rapid progress!"
Words cannot describe it. Shan Song was pulled by Tong Zhao to room number 2, intending to see it for himself.
