Chapter 73 Back
The slightly cool embrace seemed to dispel the scorching air.
Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses and reached out to push Chi Lin away, but of course she failed to do so. Instead, he hugged her tighter, and her cheek was pressed even closer to his slightly cool chest.
She twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Hey, let go."
Chi Lin let her go, but bent down with his head lowered, and put his cheek in front of Jiang Mian. He half-closed his eyes, his mountain-green pupils like mist, and said softly: "Sister, don't you miss me?"
Jiang Mian:......
I really don’t want to.
She pushed Chi Lin aside and walked into the house, saying leisurely, "I don't want to."
Jiang Mian walked into the house, and Chi Lin followed closely behind her. He spoke in a dragging voice, "Sister is so heartless. We kissed a few days ago, and how come your face changed so suddenly?"
Jiang Mian:......
I really want to uncover the past.
Outside the iron gate, Li Yan walked in slowly, closed the door behind him, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked with his dark eyes at the woman who was walking upstairs and the scorpion orc following behind her.
"Sister, choose me for love. I'm super sweet."
"No."
"Then what about our passionate kiss that day?"
"It was an accident."
…
Jiang Mian took her clothes and prepared to take a shower, but she found Chi Lin still following her.
There is only one bathroom in the house, and it is a shared bathroom.
She paused and turned back, reminding him, "I'm going to take a shower."
"Yeah, I know." Chi Lin's eyes fell lightly on her and he nodded leisurely.
Jiang Mian:......
You know that and still follow her?
"Do you want to squat outside while I take a shower?" Jiang Mian twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.
Chi Lin's expression flickered slightly: "It's not impossible."
However, the bathroom door is an opaque iron door, so you can't see anything.
"I hope I won't see you when I come out." After Jiang Mian walked in, he turned around and looked at Chi Lin. He said this with a forced smile, then quickly closed the iron door with a bang.
When Jiang Mian came out of the shower, he indeed did not see Chi Lin.
She also quickly returned to her room and lay down to rest.
The feeling of lying on the bed is naturally different from lying on the cold, hard ground.
Jiang Mian fell into a comfortable sleep.
One night passed.
The next day, after Jiang Mian woke up from her sleep, Qi Xu seemed to sense some movement and entered her room. His two pink lop-eared rabbit ears drooped slightly, and his eyes were half-closed. He only dared to stare at her chin and said softly, "Master, I'm coming in to help you clean up your room."
"Yeah." Jiang Mian casually waved her hand, letting him do as he pleased, and went to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Qixu quickly helped Jiang Mian make the bed, mop the floor, take out the trash, and put the items in order.
Jiang Mian glanced at the rabbit boy who was working. Because of the rabbit boy's hard work, every time Jiang Mian returned to the room, she saw it was clean and tidy, and she was very satisfied.
Now Qixu’s role is just to do housework. He has no chance to cook because there are no ingredients.
Even though she went to the airport to pick up some things yesterday, there were only instant foods and nutrient solutions with a very long shelf life, and no fresh or frozen foods. After all, logistics would take half a month, and the fresh and frozen foods would have lost their freshness by the time they arrived here.
Jiang Mian is increasingly determined to research a purification reagent, otherwise, if she keeps drinking nutrient solution every day on this exile planet, won’t she become obsolete?
When she thought of this, she suddenly remembered the amount of nutrient solution she had given to the rabbit boy. According to the normal rate of drinking nutrient solution, Qixu should have run out of nutrient solution now.
"Qixu." Jiang Mian finished washing up, walked out, and looked at Qixu who had folded the quilt neatly.
The boy is tall and thin, and always wears a white shirt and black pants. The black and white colors always look clean.
The exposed wrists and ankles are long and slender, and the skin is particularly white and clear.
It seems clear, cold and clean.
"Master, do you have any instructions?" Qixu's white wrist, which was making the bed, paused slightly, then slowly retracted and dropped to his side.
His voice has a boyish quality but is always respectful and well-behaved.
He was about the same height as Jiang Mian, but his bones probably hadn't fully grown yet, so he could still grow taller. After all, orcs were generally over 180cm tall.
Jiang Mian simply took out another box of nutrient solution from the hub space and handed it over: "Have you finished the nutrient solution I gave you before? Tell me when you finish it next time, otherwise I might forget."
She doesn't need to support other orcs, but she needs to support Qixu. After all, he is an orc she hired, and she is responsible for his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Qixu has noted it." Qixu's pink eyes flashed slightly. In fact, he was saving the remaining few bottles of nutrient solution. He didn't dare to ask the master for more nutrient solution. He would accept whatever the master gave him.
"Thank you, Master." Qixu reached out and took the box full of nutrients, and said thank you softly.
He was still wearing a mask and quietly left after finishing his housework.
Jiang Mian plans to return the car to the city lord's house today.
She thought about it and wondered who to ask to go with her.
After that time at the airport, it was undeniable that Li Yan's sense of security rose sharply in her heart, and the first person she thought of now was Li Yan.
But thinking of the other person's injuries, she thought it would be better not to trouble him for the time being.
For a moment, she thought of Zhao Ci again. The other party's ultimate move could poison the enemy to death in one second, and it seemed quite safe.
Jiang Mian thought about going to find Zhao Ci, but just as she passed Rong Fei's door, it opened and Rong Fei appeared at the door. He looked at her and said softly, "Mian Mian, do you want to go out?"
For some reason, she always felt that he was waiting for her to pass by and open the door.
Jiang Mian paused, turned his head and looked at him: "Yes, get ready to go out."
"I have nothing to do today, so I'll go out with you." Rong Fei's voice was very calm and flat, but he walked out forcefully and closed the door behind him.
He walked out so calmly and as a matter of course, as if leaving no room or opportunity for Jiang Mian to refuse.
Jiang Mian paused and said, "Okay then."
After all, he is one of the five future beast masters, so he should have some strength.
Moreover, orcs are stronger than ordinary people, at least ordinary people cannot hurt her.
So Jiang Mian happily decided to take Rong Fei out.
"Mianmian, does your arm still hurt?" Rong Fei asked softly.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much anymore." Jiang Mian smiled faintly.
"That's good." Rong Fei gently touched her head.
He had already used some means to find the orcs in the alley that day.
Naturally, they were all processed.
