Chapter 32: Waste of Nature's Resources
The first thought that Cen Yan had when he woke up the next day was, was last night's dream just a dream, or was it actually the ending of Ji Yunzhan's previous life?
If it was just a dream, there was nothing to worry about.
But if that was the ending of his previous life...
She must stop him from ending up like this again!
…
…
The sky cleared up after the rain.
The sky outside was clear blue, and the fresh and pleasant scent of the forest added a bit of relaxation and comfort to Cen Yan's somewhat gloomy mood.
When she walked out of the house, she saw Ji Yunzhan practicing martial arts in the yard.
He was wearing a moon-white linen shirt with his trouser legs and sleeves rolled up high, revealing his muscular arms and calves.
At this moment, his heroic brows were slightly wrinkled, his expression was very focused and serious, his tall figure stood there straight and upright, and suddenly he moved as nimbly as a white crane, punching and palming gracefully, not only did his posture look good, but his strength was also powerful.
Cen Yan recalled her dream last night, in which Ji Yunzhan was like a sharp sword, beheading the enemy leader with unparalleled bravery.
But even he couldn't avoid being killed by the traitor...
Although she couldn't be sure whether it was just an ordinary dream, she didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, her rebirth, the portable space, and the mysterious book containing a lot of knowledge were so bizarre. What if this was a warning to her?
God allowed her to be reborn and reunited with Ji Yunzhan smoothly, and it must not just be for her own sake.
Cen Yan decided to treat the dream as real and be vigilant about things that would happen in the future.
But what can he do to change his tragic ending?
You know, Ji Yunzhan is not someone who is willing to let others manipulate him.
His destiny must be the one he chooses.
Cen Yan stared at Ji Yunzhan who was practicing martial arts and fell into distressed thought.
After Ji Yunzhan finished practicing a set of boxing, he came to his senses and found Cen Yan standing at the door and staring at him. He was a little surprised that she woke up so early.
When he looked down at his casual outfit, he felt a little embarrassed. He hurried back to the house and changed into clean and tidy clothes before coming out again.
"I've prepared breakfast. Wait until you finish washing up, then we can eat," Ji Yunzhan said as he fetched clean water for Cen Yan and gave her willow branches and green salt for her to brush her teeth and rinse her mouth.
"Thank you." Cen Yan came back to his senses, walked over to wash his face, and was surprised to see green salt.
This is something that people in the mountains cannot afford.
It seems that Ji Yunzhan has lived alone in the forbidden forest for so many years that he has accumulated some financial resources and can even afford to rinse his mouth with green salt!
But she changed her mind and realized that when they talked about the business plan last night, he took charge of all the sales channels, which showed that he had many ways to make money. So it was understandable that he could afford green salt.
After brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth, Cen Yan sat down with Ji Yunzhan at the stone table in the yard to eat.
Breakfast is simple.
A bowl of light rice porridge, strewn with finely chopped naan fruit particles, and a few vegetable cakes placed on the plate on the table, with sesame oil and salt added, the taste was unexpectedly good.
Seeing Ji Yunzhan cut the nai fruit into small pieces and cook them together with the porridge, Cen Yan was quite surprised.
She hadn't expected that he knew how to use ingredients to cook.
I have to say that the rice porridge made in this way has a light sweetness and is very delicious.
But then, she couldn't help but sigh again.
Why did a man like him, who was not only handsome, capable of making money, but also careful and good at cooking, end up with such a miserable end?
God is really good at wasting natural resources!
"What's wrong? Is the breakfast not tasty?" Hearing her sigh, Ji Yunzhan couldn't help but ask nervously.
He usually eats breakfast very casually.
Today, since she was there, he made it with extra care, fearing that she would find it unpalatable.
"No, it's delicious." Cen Yan hurriedly shook his head and made up an excuse to explain, "I think it's too delicious. When I return to Old Cen's house, I won't be able to eat any good food anymore. Every day is like a battle, and I have to find a way to keep breakfast for my father from the table... This contrast is a bit uncomfortable."
“…”
Hearing her depressed words, Ji Yunzhan was silent for a moment.
He was unable to immediately change her current situation, so he could only earnestly promise, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you earn money as soon as possible and get you out of Lao Cen's house!"
"Thank you, but I don't want to put pressure on you. When it comes to making money, you should look at opportunities first. If there are really no opportunities, that's okay." Cen Yan was afraid that he would think she said that on purpose to force him to find ways to make money, so she couldn't help but make up for it.
"It will happen." Ji Yunzhan now regarded her as his only friend and did not care about these things.
After the meal, Cen Yan was really reluctant to leave this dull and peaceful atmosphere at the dinner table.
She insisted on helping with the dishes.
Ji Yunzhan didn't argue with her and went back to his room, not coming out for a long time.
When he finally came out, he handed a sachet to Cen Yan.
"Take this and carry it with you next time you come to the Forbidden Forest. This way, the wild beasts in the Forbidden Forest will not hurt you when they see you," he said.
"What's in it?" Cen Yan took it and sniffed it first. He didn't smell any special fragrance, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's my hair." Ji Yunzhan's cheeks were slightly hot because of her actions, but he still insisted on saying it clearly, "Beasts have a keen sense of smell. When they smell the scent of me, they won't hurt you."
"...Oh." Cen Yan blushed when she heard that it was something as private as hair.
She deeply regretted asking the question.
Really.
If he gives it to you, why don't you just keep it?
Why do you ask so many questions?
Our body and hair are from our parents.
Can hair be given to a woman casually?
Can a woman accept another man's hair at will?
You know, only couples would cut off some of each other's hair and give it to each other intimately...
Cen Yan's thoughts flew further and further away, her cheeks became hotter and hotter, so she had to lower her head desperately, not wanting him to discover her embarrassment.
But Ji Yunzhan had already seen her embarrassment from her red earlobes.
"Ahem." He covered his lips with his fist, cleared his throat loudly, and said seriously, "It's getting late. Shall I take you down the mountain?"
"Oh, okay." Cen Yan nodded quickly.
She went back into the house and put on her backpack.
Ji Yunzhan also put a few leftover naiguo from last night into her backpack and gently reminded her, "Don't forget to take this back with you, or you will be punished again when you go back."
"Yeah." Cen Yan responded.
Thinking of the hypocritical faces of everyone in the Old Cen family, she found it a little ridiculous.
I'm afraid that even if she takes the Naiguo back and proves her innocence, Old Lady Cen will not give her a good face!
