Xu Yang saw Jiang Ran when he woke up.
She leaned against the doorway of the igloo, facing outside, so she didn't notice that she had woken up behind her.
Bai Zhiyong went out for some unknown reason, and Xu Yang was the only one in the room at this time.
He looked at Jiang Ran who was quietly standing at the door, and suddenly an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart. Then, without making a sound, he walked towards her quietly with cat steps.
After getting closer, Xu Yang suddenly patted Jiang Ran on the back.
Jiang Ran was startled and instinctively placed her laptop on the ice with its back facing up. Her movements were so quick and hasty that the screen made a crisp "click" sound as it hit the ice.
Xu Yang originally just wanted to scare her and didn't even look at her laptop. However, Jiang Ran's panic made her movements a little too big, which allowed Xu Yang to see a corner of the screen.
The specific situation was not seen, but the bright red magma was so eye-catching that it was impossible to ignore it.
"Are you looking at that volcano?" Xu Yang asked.
Jiang Ran knew that he couldn't hide it, so he responded.
Xu Yang casually asked, "Can you estimate when it will erupt?"
Jiang Ran looked at the ice beneath his feet and paused before saying, "It hasn't been very active these past two days. My earlier estimate might have been off... It's probably still some time before it actually erupts."
"That's good. If anything happens, I'll tell everyone."
"That's for sure." Jiang Ran responded.
After asking about the situation, he was speechless for a while.
Seeing that he was awake and nothing was wrong, Jiang Ran was about to say goodbye and go back to his room, but halfway there he was suddenly stopped by Xu Yang.
“You just…”
"Huh?" Jiang Ran turned around.
"...Why are you standing at my door?"
Jiang Ran felt very complicated when he heard this.
Should I tell my financial sponsor that I am helping him keep watch?
But if the sugar daddy knew that his secret had been exposed, would he kill her first?
Seeing her silence, Xu Yang asked again, "If you just want to watch the real-time projection, why do you have to watch it in front of my door?"
"Actually..." Jiang Ran thought quickly, "Oh, I was so startled by you just now that I almost forgot. I wanted to ask you if we should bake the snow in the house. If it melts and freezes again, it will form a hard crust, so it won't fall off when you touch it."
Xu Yang was skeptical: "Really?"
Jiang Ran nodded hard: "Of course, of course!"
However, Xu Yang was not Fu Bo, and he was not so easily fooled. He said "I see," but his steps were faster than anyone else's, and he walked to the other two snow houses while responding.
Jiang Ran secretly felt lucky that he didn't make up a random excuse. At least everyone had really baked the inner wall. Otherwise, he would have been exposed on the spot.
Xu Yang went around in circles and came back. Although he was still hesitant in his heart, at least he had passed the test on the surface.
Jiang Ran immediately breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye and went to his room.
She thought angrily as she walked.
It’s so difficult to cover up for the financial sponsor!
Not only do I have to worry about his secret being exposed, but I also have to worry about him being suspected by me. I'm in a difficult position!
After lunch, when Jiang Ran had nothing to do, he taught everyone how to build a foyer with accumulated snow to make the snow house more comfortable to live in.
Xu Yang was not interested in this. He didn't want anyone to visit him at all, and he had no intention of building a lobby.
While the others were listening attentively, he said hello, took his laptop and went back to his own little room.
Fu Bo looked at his back and sighed, "Mr. Xu is really serious! He carries his laptop with him all the time. He must be taking notes and analyzing things again!"
Ren Xiayang nodded in agreement: "If we keep working this hard, he should be able to figure it out soon! We'll go ask about the situation later!"
The two looked at each other and smiled contentedly.
Jiang Ran covered his face helplessly.
Why do these two people have such a big misunderstanding about Xu Yang?
Unfortunately, Jiang Ran’s thoughts were not successfully conveyed to Fu Bo and Ren Xiayang.
After they finished building the entrance hall, they still hadn't forgotten what they had said before, and walked to Xu Yang's house chatting and laughing.
Jiang Ran tried every possible way to persuade them to leave, and finally succeeded. When he turned around, he found Xu Yang standing behind him.
Xu Yang: "You..."
Jiang Ran: "I..."
Xu Yang: "Being too possessive is not a good thing. If you can control it, try to control it a little bit."
Jiang Ran: “?”
Jiang Ran was confused.
What does this mean?
However, Xu Yang had no intention of explaining. After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the snow house.
Jiang Ran thought this was a bit strange, but her sponsor was slacking off again, so she was too embarrassed to ask. She could only wait until dinner time with a confused heart.
Made cod stew tonight.
During the day, Fu Bo and Ren Xiayang caught a lot of cod together. Bai Zhiyong also went for a walk and brought back a lot of ingredients for eating.
Since everything was ready and it was a good time to change the taste, Jiang Ran chose to stew it. When the meal came out of the pot at dusk, the fish meat was not fishy or loose, and the taste was tender and smooth, with a fragrant aroma that made people's mouths water.
Everyone was happily eating the fish, but Jiang Ran was still confused and kept glancing at where Xu Yang was.
However, before she could speak, Xu Yang moved a little further away imperceptibly. The distance was not very large, and if Jiang Ran had not been paying attention, he might not have noticed it.
Jiang Ran: “?”
What does this mean?
Is the sponsor hiding from her?
Is she some kind of monster?
never mind.
The heart of the sponsor, the rain in June.
Since I can’t guess it, I might as well just ignore it.
In the second half of dinner, Jiang Ran never looked at Xu Yang again, which made Xu Yang very uncomfortable and he began to wonder what she was thinking.
But after a while, they no longer had the energy to think about these trivial matters.
"W-what is that?"
"Jiang Ran... do you know?"
"It looks so, so scary..."
“…”
Just about one or two hundred meters away, a bright green shadow suddenly appeared and was getting closer to everyone.
It was suspended in mid-air, swaying and turning from side to side from time to time. It looked like it had life, but what kind of life would be such a color?
It looks really scary.
"Maybe it's a will-o'-the-wisp?" Jiang Ran guessed.
"Will-o'-the-wisp?" Fu Bo said tremblingly, "It doesn't sound like a good thing."
"Willows often appear among graves, and many people do consider them a bad omen."
After Jiang Ran said this, even those who were not that scared at first became nervous.
Everyone subconsciously gathered together and huddled tightly around the fire, willing to be scorched all over by the heat to wash away the coldness in their hearts.
"However, after scientific research, several new theories about will-o'-the-wisp emerged."
"What do you mean?" Lian Ren Xia Yang was trembling a little. "Can you stop keeping me in suspense?"
"One theory is that will-o'-the-wisp is a chemical reaction between the gases produced by the decomposition of organisms and oxygen, producing phosphine gas; another theory is that will-o'-the-wisp is a cold fire caused by chemiluminescence."
When put this way, it immediately seems reasonable and scientifically reliable.
Fu Bo's trembling also became slightly less intense.
He gave a somewhat stiff smile: "Why didn't you tell us earlier? Why did you have to scare us first? You really are..."
"But will-o'-the-wisp usually appears in the summer, and in the subtropical temperate zone. I've never heard of will-o'-the-wisp appearing on an ice field."
Everyone's hearts, which had finally relaxed a little, immediately became tense again.
Ren Xiayang couldn't stand it anymore: "What else do you have to say? Tell it all at once."
Fu Bo couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Really, please stop testing my heartbeat."
"I've finished talking," Jiang Ran spread his hands. "I don't know what this thing is. It looks a bit like a will-o'-the-wisp, but it doesn't make sense."
"Oh, right," Jiang Ran suddenly thought of something and pointed to the fire nearby. "Since the will-o'-the-wisp is called 'fire', it should look more like a normal fire."
"But this green shadow...it's not clumped together at all. Instead, it's intertwined and branched, with each ray of light acting on its own...I don't know what this thing is."
"this……"
“Could it be…”
"Holy crap! It's coming!"
“…”
Looking around, I saw the green shadow that was originally slowly moving around suddenly rushing towards here.
It was very fast. In just a few seconds, it had rushed forty or fifty meters and would soon reach the campfire where everyone was.
"Run!"
"Help!"
The author has something to say:
【Small Theater】
Jiang Ran: Dad almost got exposed today, luckily I helped him keep the secret.
Xu Yang: She must be interested in me.
Jiang Ran: Dad’s words are so strange. What exactly does he want to say?
Xu Yang: She must be interested in me.
