Chapter 420

Xiang Yunduan turned his head to look at Ruan Huacheng and the others, his eyes full of seriousness.
“You guys better not have any ulterior motives.
If it weren’t for Miss Lin, we might not have been able to survive this extreme cold, let alone return to the Rose Base to rescue people.
You all know her and Jiang Xing’s strength. If anyone gets confused again, I will definitely not protect you. Do you hear me?”
“Got it!”
“Don’t worry, Captain, we all understand.”
Seeing his team members all agree, Xiang Yunduan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but sighed heavily when he saw the unconscious Jiang Xiangdong.
He took out a thick hemp rope from the corner and tied Jiang Xiangdong into a dumpling, throwing him directly into the corner of the small cave.
After hesitating for a long time, he covered him with a quilt.
“Lao Jiang is too impulsive, he needs to suffer a bit to learn a lesson.
Alright, it’s getting late, everyone go back to your rooms to rest, we’ll be busy tomorrow.”
The charcoal basin in the center of the cave was extinguished, and the cave was plunged into darkness for a moment, before returning to silence.
The blizzard that night was particularly terrifying, the howling cold wind carrying snowflakes and ice shards, shuttling through the desolate and silent pure white world.
With thick cotton blankets and hot water bottles as protection, Lin Qianhuan slept very comfortably that night.
The light inside the cave was particularly scarce. She yawned wearily and looked at the time displayed on the communication device on her wrist.
10:47 AM.
“Ugh… how is it so late?”
Lin Qianhuan stretched lazily, subconsciously moving closer to the heat source beside her.
Pressing her arms and legs against Jiang Xing’s body, she sighed contentedly.
“It’s so warm, it’s so cold, I don’t want to get out of bed at all.”
Jiang Xing’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down, he hesitated for a long time but didn’t say anything, just silently pushed away the clingy octopus on his body.
His voice was hoarse from just waking up, slightly alluring, like a feather gently scratching at the tip of her heart.
“Get up, we’ll set off after breakfast.”
Jiang Xing sat up and relaxed for a while. After getting dressed, he walked to Lin Qianhuan’s side to help her put on her coat.
Looking at her still dazed eyes, Jiang Xing couldn’t help but smile.
“Didn’t get enough sleep?”
Lin Qianhuan cooperatively raised her arms, letting him button up her cold-proof suit.
“Yeah, it’s too cold, I can’t bear to leave my warm bed.”
Jiang Xing knelt on one knee, helping her put on her socks and shoes, carefully tying her shoelaces.
Just as he was about to say something, a slightly thin figure suddenly appeared in front of the storage room door.
It was Lu Xiaoyan.
Seeing the scene in the storage room, she was stunned, even forgetting her intention.
Until Lin Qianhuan looked at her and coughed lightly as a reminder.
“Miss Lu, is there something?”
Lu Xiaoyan woke up with a start, her face instantly flushed red, and she averted her gaze somewhat at a loss.
“Um… the captain asked me to call you to get up for breakfast.”
Lin Qianhuan nodded and then looked away.
“You can eat, don’t worry about the two of us.”
Lu Xiaoyan pursed her lips, glanced at Jiang Xing somewhat reluctantly, and then ran away in a hurry.
Returning to the small cave in front, she raised her hand to cover her wildly beating heart, a blush appearing on her face.
Zhang Yaru stirred the vegetable soup in the pot with a spoon, looking at Lu Xiaoyan with some confusion.
“What’s wrong, Xiaoyan? Why is your face so red?”
Lu Xiaoyan raised her cold hands and placed them on her face to cool down, cautiously approaching Zhang Yaru’s ear: “Jiang Xing is putting on socks for Lin Qianhuan.”
Zhang Yaru frowned: “So what? They didn’t do anything excessive.
They’re a couple, just helping each other put on socks, what’s the big deal?”
Lu Xiaoyan squatted beside the fire to warm her hands, her expression slightly shy: “Oh, you don’t understand.
I just think that Jiang Xing is so handsome, and he’s so gentle and doting on his woman.”
Zhang Yaru’s hand holding the soup spoon paused abruptly, and she looked at Lu Xiaoyan with great incomprehension, her expression slightly solemn.
“Xiaoyan, what do you mean by this?
You wouldn’t have fallen for that Jiang Xing, would you?”
Lu Xiaoyan seemed to have her secret thoughts exposed, her entire face instantly turned red, like a cooked shrimp.
She waved her hands violently, somewhat disingenuously.
“Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t.
I just think that being Jiang Xing’s woman must be very happy. He’s tall and handsome, and his figure looks good too.
He’s also a super powerful lightning-type Superpower user, and his strength is beyond doubt.
Wouldn’t anyone be able to live as well as Lin Qianhuan if they became his girlfriend?
Alas, I’m actually a little envious of Lin Qianhuan.”
Lu Xiaoyan only felt a sour feeling in her heart, as if there were hundreds of flavors, but she couldn’t express them.
Hearing this, Zhang Yaru immediately became anxious. Ignoring the vegetable soup in the pot, she pulled Lu Xiaoyan to the corner of the cave.
“What are you thinking about!
I’m telling you, this is the The End of the World, not the peaceful era of the past.
Throw out all those romance scenarios in your head!
Taking care of the present and living longer is the most correct thing to do!”
Struck by Zhang Yaru’s words, the smile on Lu Xiaoyan’s face immediately disappeared, turning into dissatisfaction.
“I was just saying, why are you making such a big deal out of it?
Besides, why can Lin Qianhuan have such a handsome boyfriend in the The End of the World to protect herself, but I can’t?”
Zhang Yaru had a headache, but Lu Xiaoyan was her only friend in the The End of the World, and she really didn’t want to see her go astray.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yaru patiently replied: “Xiaoyan, haven’t you noticed that Jiang Xing’s status is lower than Lin Qianhuan’s?
Since entering this cave, it has always been Lin Qianhuan who has been negotiating with our captain.
She sits, and Jiang Xing stands behind her, no different from a bodyguard.
So, Lin Qianhuan has a voice in this relationship with Jiang Xing. She is not a spoiled wife who is unconditionally doted on by a man.
She is not Jiang Xing’s possession, not Jiang Xing’s woman, but a lover who is evenly matched with him.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Yaru sighed heavily: “You can’t just imagine a domineering CEO doting on his wife just because Jiang Xing puts on socks for Lin Qianhuan.
You’re just a healing-type Superpower user, but Lin Qianhuan is a space and spiritual dual-type Superpower user.
Do you think Jiang Xing would abandon her and choose you?”
Listening to these words, Lu Xiaoyan’s expression gradually became gloomy.
She suddenly turned her head to look at Zhang Yaru, her voice slightly sharp: “Do you look down on me so much!
No matter what, I’m still a healing-type Superpower user, much nobler than you earth-type Superpower user, why do you look down on me!”
Zhang Yaru grabbed Lu Xiaoyan’s wrist somewhat helplessly: “Xiaoyan, I didn’t mean that, you misunderstood me.
I just wanted to stop your thoughts, you…”
Before she could finish her words, she was ruthlessly thrown away by Lu Xiaoyan.
“Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? You clearly meant that!”
