Chapter 23 The two people in the family are always entangled...
For the next two days, Shan Ran and the other two spent their time killing nightmare beasts.
However, after killing most of them, they would leave some for the other people in the villa area.
In three days, Shanran felt that her superpowers had improved a lot.
But that's not enough; it's still too slow.
The arrogant attitude of those powerful families on the First Continent made her realize the gap between herself and them.
She wants to be stronger.
On the fourth day, Shanran heard a noise outside the courtyard gate as soon as she got up.
Someone was knocking on the door and calling her name.
When Shanran changed her clothes and went out, she saw that Meng Xin had already opened the lifting iron plate and was standing at the gate of the courtyard.
A group of people stood outside the door, craning their necks to look inside, peering in, wanting to come in.
However, Meng Xin also reached out to stop them. Since Ranran hadn't spoken, he wouldn't let outsiders in.
"Ranran! It's me!"
Rong Shuyao stretched her hand out high in greeting.
She was followed by four men.
"Young man, I've already told you I know Ranran, can you let me in now?"
Rong Shuyao looked at Meng Xinye and smiled very sweetly.
To everyone's surprise, Meng Xin also said impatiently, "Who's the younger brother? I'm not your younger brother."
"Pfft," laughter came from not far behind. Rhine said with a smile, "Xiao Meng, it's okay. You're growing up quickly. In a few years, you'll be a man."
Meng Xin turned around and glared angrily at Rhine, his cheeks puffing out with rage.
Rhine is still as annoying as ever, and this strange woman at the door is even more annoying!
Shan Ran walked to the door, gestured for Meng Xin to withdraw her arm, then looked at Rong Shuyao and said politely with a smile, "Shuyao, what brings you here?"
"Ranran, it's so good to see you! I was so scared when the monster came out a few days ago. I was so worried about you. I'm so relieved to see you're safe and sound!"
As she spoke, Rong Shuyao prepared to give her a hug.
Shan Ran deftly dodged to the side.
Rong Shuyao missed her target. Her hands paused awkwardly in mid-air for a moment before she withdrew them and gently stroked her hair.
"Ranran, how have you been these past few days?"
Shanran's face fell, and she sighed, "How could things possibly get better? We don't have much left at home, and we still have two people to support. I was just about to go out to find supplies."
Two people need to support them?
Rhine and Mengxin: ......
Seeing Rong Shuyao's gaze, the two remained calm and nodded silently.
Rong Shuyao was speechless. Not to mention the boy who had just stopped them, she had seen the man behind them before at the noodle shop. His clothes were obviously not ordinary, and his mannerisms were unlike those of an ordinary person.
Do we need mountain dyeing to cultivate it?
Rong Shuyao clenched her fist, deciding to cut to the chase and skip the formalities.
"Ranran, a fog appeared near my house, and many people died. That place is now hell! We have nowhere to go. We're such good friends, your house is so big, could you take us in?"
Rong Shuyao spoke softly and gently, and with her sweet and lovely appearance, she looked pitiful at the moment.
As she spoke, she tried to grab Shan Ran's hand and act coquettishly. This trick worked on both men and women every time.
However, Meng Xin did not give Rong Shuyao a chance to act coquettishly.
He put his arm around Shanran's shoulder and pulled her into his arms, away from the woman with ill intentions opposite them.
"Just talk, don't get physical."
He could tell that Ranran didn't want to pay attention to the group of people opposite her at all, and was just being hypocritical. He should have known better than to open the door.
So annoying!
Shan Ran simply leaned lazily against Meng Xinye's chest.
He always had a very fresh scent about him, like the morning mist brushing against flowers and grass, which was refreshing and pleasant.
It smells very relaxing.
He squinted comfortably.
Her current carefree and frivolous demeanor really makes it seem like she's keeping ten or eight gigolos at home.
"Shuyao, I can't help it. The two of us at home are always clinging to each other, and we both need our own private space. I can't give you and your partner any space."
Are you constantly pestering me?
Private space?
What kind of insolent and lewd words are these?
Meng Xinye's ears turned red, his thick eyelashes trembled, he tightened his arms around Shan Ran, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
Rhine's ears turned red, his palms burned, and he stared at Shan Ran's back, wanting to pull her out of Meng Xin's arms and hold her tightly, to let her know what it really meant to be entangled.
Rong Shuyao glanced back and looked around at Shan Ran's house.
Although she had never been here before, she roughly knew how big the place was. Even if the three of them went naked every day, they wouldn't need such a big house, right?
She's not ready to give up yet.
Just as Rong Shuyao was about to say something, she saw Shan Ran suddenly being picked up by the man who came from behind.
Shanran had no idea that Rhine would make such a move. She gasped softly and instinctively wrapped her arms around the other's neck.
The man's neck was now flushed crimson, and he uttered even more astonishing words without a trace of emotion.
"We have urgent business to attend to and cannot stay any longer. Our home is limited in resources and we cannot entertain you all. Please leave."
He turned and walked into the house.
Meng Xin was happily embracing Shan Ran when suddenly his hand went empty, and he was furious.
He unleashed all his anger on the person outside the door.
"Still looking! What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen other people doing those things they like? I'm not seeing you again!"
After saying that, he slammed the courtyard gate shut with a loud "bang".
Rong Shuyao was pulled back slightly to avoid hitting her nose on the door.
She was so angry that she clenched her teeth, her face contorted with rage.
She knew that Shan Ran and the other two were making excuses to refuse, but she couldn't say anything about such excuses.
You can't just forcibly separate the three of them and say, "You can't do your addiction in broad daylight!"
I haven't seen Shanran for a few days, what happened to her!
Is this still the same aloof and indifferent little princess she used to be?
Their classmate, Du Cheng, asked, "Shu Yao, what do we do now? Should we wait for Shan Ran to come out?"
Rong Shuyao bit her lip and shook her head. "Forget it, let's go take a look around the neighborhood first. There are so many villas, surely one of them will be a place we can stay."
——
After the door closed, Shanran's legs twitched a few times, signaling Rhine to put her down.
Rhine walked straight to the sofa, then bent down and put Shanran down.
When he bent over, Rhine's movements were a little slow. Shanran leaned on his shoulder, and the two were very close, so close that they could see the downy hairs on Rhine's nose.
His nose is high and very prominent; up close, you can hardly see any pores on it.
I wonder how she took care of her skin before; it's so good.
Rhine turned around at that moment, and their noses touched, causing him to catch his breath.
The girl's breath brushed against his face; it smelled wonderful, and he heard his heart suddenly race.
He placed Shanran on the sofa, but kept his body at that distance, enveloping her between himself and the sofa.
Then I used the tip of my nose to rub the tip of my nose that was dyed.
I want to kiss you.
Just as Rhine's back began to sink, a sudden sound rang out beside him.
"What are you doing! Let go of Ranran!"
Meng Xin also stepped forward, trying to pull Rhein away, but the other party easily dodged his move.
Meng Xin sneered, "Trying to outrun us, huh?"
He used his supernatural abilities to quickly reach Rhine's side, and Rhine blocked his punch. The two then exchanged a few more blows until Shan Ran stopped them.
She had a terrible headache.
After a few days of peace, how did the fighting break out again!
Now that these two have increasingly powerful abilities, what if they break things in the house?
"Alright, alright, we're all on the same side, let's not fight amongst ourselves."
"Who's on his side?" The two of them seemed to be in sync.
Ranran sighed and glanced at the two of them. "Sigh, I thought we were on the same side. Turns out I was just overthinking things."
"No, Ranran, I didn't mean that. I was just talking about him..."
"Ranran, don't be angry. I shouldn't have done that. We..."
Ranran didn't really argue with them; she pushed Mengxin into the kitchen as well.
"I'm hungry, Xin, hurry up and cook some food."
Then they pushed Rhine upstairs.
"Rhine, help me see where those people went, whether they're still nearby."
The two nodded obediently and went about their own business.
After leaving Shanran's gate, Rong Shuyao and the others began searching for available resources throughout the villa area.
When Shan Ran was renovating his houses, some people followed suit.
However, they lacked proper blueprints and did not expedite the construction process, so most of the houses were only half-finished when they encountered strong winds.
There are still quite a few renovation materials left, but they've been blown into a mess by the wind, scattered everywhere. There are only a few villas that are still intact and ready to be lived in.
They searched the entire villa area, but found no usable supplies left behind.
Even some of the doors were taken down and their whereabouts are unknown.
After searching for a long time, the group found another complete villa.
They went over and knocked on the courtyard gate.
It took a long time before someone came to open the door.
The person who opened the door was a slender woman with delicate features.
The person who arrived was Wendy.
Wendy opened the gate a crack and looked warily at the people outside.
Rong Shuyao gave a sweet, innocent smile and said softly, "Hello, do you know Shan Ran?"
Upon hearing this, Wendy's expression relaxed somewhat.
Although Shan Ran's attitude remained unchanged, the three of them had accumulated a lot of experience and improved their abilities by fighting the monsters without any danger to their lives over the past few days through their deliberate arrangements.
They saw a lot of news online about how many people had died recently, and how many more had been displaced. Compared to that, they were very lucky.
Therefore, he was even more grateful to Shan Ran and wanted to gain her approval so that he could officially regard her as his boss.
"I know you. Is there something you need?" Wendy wasn't completely off guard.
Rong Shuyao continued smiling, "We were classmates with Shan Ran. We lost our home, so we wanted to come and rely on Shan Ran, but..."
At this point, Rong Shuyao choked up a little, "But she has changed a lot. She doesn't talk to us at all. I feel that she is afraid of the two men in her family, so she doesn't dare to talk to me much."
