Chapter 139 Climbing up the roof quietly
"Tong Xu, your language comprehension ability needs improvement." Bai Zhaoyan tried to make him understand in a simple and understandable way. "You are still young and don't understand many things."
"Cheating is not a nice word and should not be used lightly."
"We know each other. I treat you as a friend, not the kind of love between a man and a woman."
"Don't just listen to what others say. Learn to think for yourself. Friends don't need to form a bond to maintain a relationship, just like you and those little fish in the South China Sea."
"Do you understand?"
Tong Xu tilted his head, as if deep in thought. After a moment, he spoke: "I've finished thinking. I don't want to have an affair with you, but I still want to form a bond with you."
Bai Zhaoyan's breathing stagnated, and he felt that he couldn't communicate with him.
Tong Xu has his own unique way of thinking.
She had nothing to say, so she started walking, then stopped after two steps. "By the way, don't tell anyone about what happened between us just now, especially Xiyue."
If Xiyue knew that she accidentally saw Tong Xu's body, she would definitely spread it widely in the Qingyan tribe. That would be disastrous.
Tong Xu nodded, "Okay, then this is a secret between you and me, I won't tell anyone."
Bai Zhaoyan returned home under the cover of night, and the beastmen had just finished discussing the road construction.
Cen Ran was going. He was the only one who was most familiar with the route, and he also wanted to go.
Lang Ye saw Bai Zhaoyan coming back with a bucket. He took the bucket from her and was slightly shocked when he saw the bucket full of fish and shrimp. "Zhao Zhao, you caught so many fish and shrimp by yourself. Why didn't you wait for me to go with you?"
"Are you cold? Let me get you some hot water."
Lang Ye placed the bucket in the corridor and led Bai Zhaoyan into the house. Cen Ran came up to them with a playful smile. Just as he was about to speak, he sniffed and changed the subject, "Sister, you smell like that fish."
"Huh?" Lang Ye took the water cup and sniffed it, and found that in addition to the scent of fish and shrimp, Bai Zhaoyan also had a hint of Tong Xu's scent.
"Zhao Zhao, you guys..."
Bai Zhaoyan couldn't understand. Tong Xu was also a fish, so how was his scent different from that of ordinary fish and shrimp? How could they smell it?
She took the cup and drank the hot water. "No, we just happened to meet by the river and exchanged a few words."
Lang Ye and Cen Ran looked at each other and said nothing.
"How about keeping those fish and shrimp tonight and frying them tomorrow?"
"Okay." Lang Ye nodded and carried the bucket from the corridor into the kitchen.
Cen Ran took Bai Zhaoyan's hand and sat down. "Sister, Ye Zhenglinche and I will start preparing to lead people to start road construction tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"
Bai Zhaoyan played with the teacup and thought for a while, "I'll come look for you when the Mermaids and the Bloods are safe again."
"Okay."
Building a road requires clearing the mountain, which is difficult to do with manpower alone. Lin Che's special ability can move stones, so taking him with us will make the result more efficient.
The two chatted for a while, and when Cen Ran wanted to enter Bai Zhaoyan's room, she pushed him out.
Cen Ran stood at the door and knocked on it, "Sister, sister, don't be angry with me, I'm just too jealous."
Bai Zhaoyan clearly distinguished between public and private matters. Standing behind the door, he smiled and said, "Reflect on yourself."
"Sister." Cen Ran lowered his voice and said coquettishly, "I will be busy with official business starting tomorrow, so please let me in."
"I just hold you while sleeping and do nothing else."
Bai Zhaoyan turned a deaf ear to him, went to bed, covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep.
Cen Ran didn't see her answer, so he put his ear to the door and listened carefully again and again. He knew that there was no way he could make Bai Zhaoyan soften her heart tonight, so he returned to his room embarrassedly.
In the middle of the night, Bai Zhaoyan was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a loud noise.
Bai Yuan's angry voice followed immediately, "Still want to run? Get in here."
Xiyue: "Hey, what are you doing? Is this how you, the Qingyan tribe, treat guests?"
“…”
Bai Zhaoyan woke up in a daze and opened the bedroom door. Mo Wang and Yao Ze also came out of their rooms and lit candles.
The three of them looked at each other, Yaoze went to open the door, and Bai Yuan grabbed Xiyue and stood in the corridor, about to knock on the door.
Yao Ze stepped aside to let the two in, "Be quiet, don't wake up the kids."
Bai Yuan came back to his senses from his rage, shut his mouth tightly, and pushed Xiyue into the door.
Xiyue saw Bai Zhaoyan and shouted at her to make the decision for him.
They said Bai Yuan looked down on their mermaid tribe and bullied him.
Bai Zhaoyan's sweet dream was disturbed. He sat at the table with his head propped up and yawned. "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Bai Yuan glanced at Xiyue, and Xiyue looked away guiltily.
It turned out that Bai Yuan listened to Bai Zhaoyan's words and went to find Yun Qian, wanting to talk to her.
The two of them sat in the main hall of Yun Qian's house, and Zhan Yu was in the bedroom.
Before the two of them could come to a conclusion, Xiyue had quietly climbed onto the roof of Yun Qian's house.
He was bullied by Yun Qian in the afternoon, and if he doesn’t retaliate, he won’t be called Xiyue.
He wanted to create some suspicious noise to lure Yun Qian to come and check, and then suddenly jump down from the roof to scare Yun Qian.
As a result, he kept hearing faint voices in the house, so he hid on the roof and waited.
The tiles were loosened by him, and he fell asleep while waiting on the roof. When he turned over, he fell straight down.
Xiyue fell between Bai Yuan and Yun Qian, which really scared Yun Qian and she screamed immediately.
Zhan Yu in the bedroom thought that two people were fighting outside the house, so he hurried out to take a look and was stunned.
He hadn't met Xiyue yet, but Yun Qian had already talked to him.
Zhan Yu originally agreed, but when he saw Xiyue acting like this, he regretted it on the spot.
Listening to Bai Yuan recount the scene word for word to Bai Zhaoyan, Xi Yue, although feeling guilty, still maintained his composure, "She is allowed to bully me, but I am not allowed to bully her. What kind of logic is this? I am still a guest."
"Bai Zhaoyan, I think you should side with me."
He was so confident and righteous that Bai Yuan wanted to hit him.
Bai Zhaoyan: “…”
Why did you wake her up in the middle of the night to listen to this?
What mistake did she make.
"Xiyue, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but Yun Qian is a female. Females are treated preferentially in our tribe, so you should give in to her."
"What terrible thing did she do that you want to tear the roof off her house?"
"With your personality, you'll never find a wife in your lifetime."
"How is that possible?" Xiyue snorted, "There are so many people of my tribe who like me, it's just that I don't want to."
"Besides, I didn't mean to do that." He rolled his eyes at Bai Yuan, "How would I know they would talk for so long?"
He was so sleepy from waiting that he couldn't even turn over on his own.
Bai Yuan couldn't explain his current mood.
Just when Yun Qian finally agreed to give him a chance, Xiyue's appearance ruined his plans.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiyue was a guest, he would definitely beat him up first.
When will these dead mermaids leave? They are so annoying.
"Okay." Bai Zhaoyan looked at Bai Yuan, "There are still some tiles left in the warehouse. Brother, go help Yun Qian fix the roof first and then rest."
"As for you," she looked at Xiyue, "just go home and take a shower and go to bed."
