Hell Island is inherently more chaotic than other places, and most of the time, no one cares when such things happen.
"Even I, the deputy leader, can't believe it. I just went to get my hair washed and I got scammed..."
A man was on the verge of tears, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Everything seemed normal when he went in, and this was the hair salon he frequented most often, so how could he have known?
"Stop talking! I just went to get a milk tea, and when I came out, everything was gone! What's worse, they even took my bracelet! Ugh, it was just a silver bracelet... it wasn't worth much, you know..."
Another woman exclaimed, "I have no idea how they committed the crime!"
It's just horrifying! It's such an insult to her intelligence!
Thinking about this made her want to cry. What had she done wrong? All she wanted was a milk tea.
"Alright, alright, I know you've all been wronged! When the gang leader comes back, he'll definitely get justice for you all. Then you can deal with them however you want!"
This is the kind of heartwarming comfort Ai Xue can offer. Right now, the guild needs her here at all times, and everyone is waiting for Yan Xiluo to return.
Sometimes she felt that she was doing a pretty bad job as the deputy leader, because there were some important matters that she simply couldn't handle well.
Fortunately, her leader is omnipotent and has three heads and six arms! This makes her feel very safe.
"Uh-huh!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and their mood improved somewhat.
On the plane
Yan Xiluo slept for a long time, while Lan Jingyan woke up early.
"Huh? You're awake already?"
The first thing Yan Xiluo did upon waking up was to touch the empty space beside her. Only after feeling insecure did she slowly open her eyes.
"Yes, I woke up a while ago. Seeing that you still looked sleepy, I didn't dare to disturb you."
Lan Jingyan nodded, her hands seemingly writing or drawing something.
"What are you doing?"
Yan Xiluo was a little curious, noticing that his hand holding the pen never stopped, constantly drawing back and forth.
"draw."
Lan Jingyan gave her a deep look, with a faint smile on his face.
"Do you need design drawings?"
She suddenly realized that Lan Jingyan was always more diligent than her; every time she woke up, he was always busy with something.
"no."
He shook his head and continued drawing.
"What is that?"
Seeing him like this piqued her curiosity.
"Why don't you come and see for yourself?"
It was obvious that Lan Jingyan was keeping her in suspense.
"Hmm? So mysterious? Could it be that you're secretly drawing me?"
Yan Xiluo joked and teased.
"Baby, how are you so smart? Congratulations on guessing correctly!"
Lan Jingyan smiled gently; he hadn't expected Yan Xiluo to guess.
Perhaps this is what it means to be in sync.
"real?"
Yan Xiluo looked at him in disbelief, then sat up, put on her slippers, and walked towards him.
She went closer and saw that, sure enough, Lan Jingyan was indeed drawing her... drawing her sleeping, lying on her side.
His drawing skills are excellent; you can tell he has a deep foundation... She had only thought he could draw design sketches before, but she didn't expect him to draw people so well too...
"How did you draw me so beautifully? It almost doesn't look like me anymore..."
Yan Xiluo gently hugged his other arm as she admired the painting. Was she really as beautiful as he painted?
She couldn't believe it; when did she become so beautiful?
You are more beautiful than a painting.
Lan Jingyan turned his head and lightly pecked her lips, staring blankly at her profile.
Even after being together for so long, he can still clearly remember the scene of their first meeting...
He felt a surge of emotion whenever he thought back to that time…
"You're starting to sweet-talk me again, feeding me candy as soon as I woke up?"
Yan Xiluo gently leaned her head on his shoulder. She was still a little groggy and not fully awake, and she was yawning as well.
"I'm telling the truth, baby. Don't you really know how beautiful you are?"
Lan Jingyan looked at her tenderly. Of course, she didn't know that she had been beautiful since she was a child...
"Everyone has a different perception of beauty. You may think I'm beautiful, but I think I'm just average."
On the contrary, she thinks her best friend is prettier, and there are plenty of girls who are prettier than her.
"Baby, I think it looks good, that's all that matters. The most important thing is that I like it, I love it."
Every time he said these words seriously, Yan Xiluo would think he was flirting.
"Are you hungry? It's time to eat."
Lan Jingyan had been waiting for her ever since he woke up. He was hungry, but he only grabbed some pastries to tide him over and didn't eat a proper meal. He wanted to have someone to eat with her when she woke up so she wouldn't be too lonely.
"It seems there really is some truth to that."
Yan Xiluo took out her phone, opened the chat app, and contacted Ai Xue privately to keep her updated on the situation.
"The situation on Hell Island is getting worse. Just as I expected, that hallucinogenic drug, if the dosage is increased, will make people lose their minds... Many people have been controlled, and many others have gone missing."
She had anticipated this outcome, but she hadn't expected the others to act so quickly.
"How's the situation inside?"
Lan Jingyan was also somewhat worried, as he hadn't received any news from Jiang Mo.
But in his opinion, no news is the best news, right?
"Things are fine in the gang. Everyone is staying home and won't be scammed."
This was something she specifically instructed them to do at the time, and she gave them a strict order, all for their safety.
"The whole Hell Island is a mess. I'll drive there myself after I get off the plane. I'll just leave the plane at your place."
Lan Jingyan felt it was better for him to go out; he was worried about her being a girl.
Besides, driving a car shouldn't be a big problem.
"Alright, I'll develop the antidote as soon as possible and have it sent to you. Make sure you wear a mask after you get off the plane. The other party is cunning and treacherous; they might come up with other dirty tricks."
In short, taking all necessary precautions is the most important thing for her.
Before they could figure out what the other party was capable of, they had to be on guard.
"Okay, I understand. I'll do whatever you say."
Lan Jingyan looked so well-behaved, the big wolfhound of the day had turned into a little puppy.
"What did you have the chef prepare?"
Yan Xiluo was a little curious, so she stretched out her hands and leaned on the table. He always put a lot of effort into preparing meals, and he never ate the same thing twice a day, so she was looking forward to it.
"I told him to prepare it according to his preferences. The chef already knows your tastes very well, so don't worry."
Lan Jingyan carefully put away the drawing paper and brushes.
"Wow, so even you don't know what to eat? How interesting!"
She enjoys the feeling of opening blind boxes, and even if the ones prepared now don't suit her taste, she can still eat them because she's really hungry.
