Chapter 16 Xie Family Matters
"Fishing chestnuts from the fire!" Xie Yu was so proud, but when he realized that his expression was too revealing, he quickly coughed twice.
"We didn't eat chestnuts today!" Chu Xu looked confused.
"Pfft..." Tang Jing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Tang Jing, what are you laughing at?" Chu Xu muttered to himself, wondering if there was any special meaning.
Jin Jiamin pushed his glasses and said, "A cunning monkey put chestnuts in the fire to cook, and then tricked the cat into taking them out for him.
The cat burned the hair off its feet, but couldn't eat the chestnuts. Who is the monkey? And who is the cat?
Jin Jiamin looked at Xie Yu, making it clear that the first part of the story was told to Chu Xu, but the latter part of the question was directed to Xie Yu.
Tang Jing also turned her gaze to Xie Yu, obviously wanting to know the answer.
Xie Yu said vaguely, "Chestnuts don't belong to monkeys."
"So cats really exist?" The dancing flames reflected Jin Jiaren's face, which flickered and looked indescribably cunning.
"Let's go! Go to sleep!" Xie Yu patted Chu Xu's shoulder and left in a cool manner.
"So early!" Chu Xu scratched his head, confused.
Jin Jiaren sneered, "Treacherous!"
Yunxiang sat down with his knees bent, placing a book on his knees, and while it was still early, he read to kill some time.
"Snap!" Suddenly I felt something flying into the tent. Like a conditioned reflex, I raised my right hand and grabbed it.
Chestnut! Knowing it was a prank, Yun wanted to throw the chestnut aside and ignore it.
“Snap!” “Snap!”…
Oh, that's enough. Yun wanted to lift up a corner of the tent and walk out. "What's the matter?"
"Why didn't you pay attention to me just now?" You're asking even though you already know the answer. I think you're annoying, Yun Xiang added silently.
"We are, uh, that kind of relationship anyway! Are you trying to be coy?"
"..."What kind of relationship does she have with him?
He has the ability to explain it clearly, but if you really ask him to say it, he will definitely start talking nonsense again.
"What on earth do you want? I need to rest."
"I invite you to watch the fun."
"boring!"
“Guess who the protagonist is?”
“Not interested!”
"Where is the oil gourd?" Yun Xiang's idea moved.
"This cricket looks like it's been covered in oil, and even its chirping sounds like it's dripping with oil. I wonder if it's because it's eaten too many oily plants like peanuts and soybeans."
"Where are they? Let's go!" Peanuts? And soybeans? These are all grains that can be used to extract oil and make soy products... Yun Xiang's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Have a good rest and gather tomorrow!"
"..." It must be intentional, Yun Xiang angrily broke the chestnut and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Xie Yu, why don't you introduce me?" Chu Xu crossed his arms across his chest, a teasing look on his face.
It was her! Jin Jiaren had a good memory and immediately recalled what happened on the spaceship. Didn't Xie Yu dislike her? Could it be that she had pestered him?
"I don't know!" Xie Yu spread his hands. This was the truth. He really didn't know her name.
It turned out that he was the one who got involved, Jin Jiaren made the final conclusion.
"Beauty, what's your name?" The brat has another admirer.
Logically, he was not a bad person, but why was it that whenever he was present, everyone's eyes were on him? Chu Xu looked indignant.
"cloud--"
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Three women came towards them.
Maybe she was just packing up, so she didn't see that the woman who was talking had an arrogant look on her face and was urging them impatiently.
The woman was pretty and had a good temperament. I think she came from a good family, but her manners clearly needed improvement.
"Why are you wasting your time here?" Xie Yuxin looked at Yun Xiang, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked -
A pair of cat-like eyes, short and round, with slightly yellow pupils, which look bright and lively, and there is nothing special about other parts of the body.
Oh, the hair is soft and fine, cream-colored and slightly curly, barely visible.
"Xie Yu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your taste—"
"Shut up! How dare you interrupt others? Have your manners been eaten by a dog?" Xie Yu shouted harshly.
He is always generous with his words to people he dislikes. Being gentle and considerate to women is useless to him. In his opinion, such uncultured people deserve a beating!
"Xie Yu, you--" Xie Yuxin was about to explode with rage. Xie Yu actually dared to speak to her like that and insult her in front of so many people. She would remember this grudge.
"What's wrong with me?" Xie Yu said with a look of disdain and a sly smile.
Xie Yuxin took a deep breath and said, "I will tell Grandpa about this."
Xie Yuxin is the only person with supernatural powers in the direct branch of the Xie family. Her pampered and willful nature is completely the result of being indulged.
"Okay! I was just thinking of talking to my second uncle about how his family disciplines their children. They don't even address my cousin by name when they see him. They just call him by his given name."
"You--" Seeing that things were getting worse and worse, Tang Jing stepped forward to persuade Xie Yuxin, but Xie Yuxin ignored her.
"Okay, Yuxin!" Bai Yan frowned and interrupted impatiently.
She came here because she heard from Xie Yuxin that there were good things. As for Xie Yu, a demoted A-level awakener, she really looked down on him.
Anyone the Xie family could name was better than him. It was strange. What right did he have to be so rebellious?
Even if the Bai family intended to marry into the Xie family, he would not be a candidate for the marriage.
No one will pay attention to a person who cannot even be included in the family name, even if he has been raised in the master's house since childhood.
"I'll listen to you this time." Xie Yuxin agreed reluctantly.
Yun Xiang found it amazing that Xie Yuxin seemed to be listening attentively to the words of the woman named Bai Yan, and there was a hint of flattery in her voice.
As for Tang Jing, they could at most be considered as peers.
Bai Yan is quite pretty, similar to Tang Jing, but each has her own charm. Tang Jing is gentle and virtuous, while Bai Yan is gorgeous and dazzling.
Speaking of dazzling, Yun Xiang felt that no one was more dazzling than the peacock in front of him.
"What did you just say?" Xie Yu forgot about Xie Yuxin and the others in just a moment. Isn't this change too fast?
"Yun Xiang." Xie Yu felt relieved when he saw Yun Xiang's calm face. Damn it, disturbing others so early in the morning, how rude.
Jin Jiaren and Chu Xu were also unhappy. They would not allow others to bully their brothers, but for the sake of their family's reputation, they did not drive the person away directly.
But if they didn't chase them away, there was nothing they could do? The two smiled at each other, as if they had something in common.
So for two or three hours, Xie Yuxin and the others followed Jin Jiaren and Chu Xu in circles. Not to mention getting anything good, they didn't even touch the supplies on the list.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are up to something, but they refuse to admit it. What can you do?
Yun Xiang had a good temper and felt that those who disloyal people should be taught a lesson, so he followed silently without expressing any opinions and took it all as support.
Xie Yuxin was becoming more and more annoyed. If she continued to waste time like this, it would soon be time to gather. She was really unlucky this time.
Almost half of the supplies on the list were missing. If she failed the exam, it would be embarrassing to spend money to get in. After all, she was a level 3 water-based mutant.
So, Xie Yuxin gritted her teeth and said, "Let's leave!"
Bai Yan had wanted to leave a long time ago. She was a level 4 wood-type mutant and the most talented alchemist in the Bai family's future.
No matter whether they are family members or outsiders, no one will not fawn on her and offer her good things when they see her, except them.
Humph, I've let her down like this. I hope I won't have to ask her for anything in the future.
