Chapter 421
by REX-NOVELISTS“Zhang Yaru, let me tell you, I, Lu Xiaoyan, am not as cheap and worthless as you think. If you look down on me, then don’t bother with me anymore! Don’t ask me to treat your illnesses!”
After saying this, Lu Xiaoyan abruptly got up and left, refusing to look back at Zhang Yaru.
Xiang Yunduan was bumped by the hurriedly departing Lu Xiaoyan and looked at her angrily retreating back with some confusion, “What’s wrong with her?”
Jiang Xiangdong had been reflecting all night, and now that he had figured everything out, he was finally free to move about. He smiled and filled himself a bowl of wild vegetable soup, “The two golden flowers in our team are having a fight. It’s nothing, they’ll make up soon.”
Xiang Yunduan shook his head helplessly, not paying much attention, and continued to do his own things.
After being served by Jiang Xing to wash up and get dressed, Lin Qianhuan finally became more awake, raised her hand and put the large bed in the storage room back into her space. The two walked out along the narrow passage, but were almost bumped into by Lu Xiaoyan, who was rushing in.
Lin Qianhuan dodged quickly, standing aside watching the other’s angry back, and raised her eyebrows with some doubt. However, she hadn’t said a word to this Lu Xiaoyan, wasn’t familiar with her, so she didn’t plan to go forward to ask or comfort her.
Walking to the small cave in front, she felt a lot warmer in an instant. The fire pit and charcoal basin were both burning, the cave was warm, barely considered comfortable.
“You’re up? Come on, come on, taste our craftsmanship.” Xiang Yunduan greeted her with a smile, picked up the wild vegetable soup from the side and handed it to Lin Qianhuan and Jiang Xing. “This is the soup made by our team’s chef, although it’s made with wild vegetables, the taste is very good. You usually can’t taste this, so don’t refuse!”
Lin Qianhuan looked at the wild vegetable soup in her hand, which didn’t look too good, hesitated for a moment, and still lowered her head to take a sip. After all, Xiang Yunduan was too enthusiastic, and they would be traveling together for a while, so being too distant wouldn’t be a good thing.
“Oh! It’s quite good!” After a sip of wild vegetable soup, Lin Qianhuan looked up in surprise, amazed by the taste of the soup. “I’ve never had such delicious wild vegetable soup before, it’s not bitter or astringent, and it’s even a bit fresh?”
Seeing that she was quite satisfied with the drink, Xiang Yunduan pulled out the timid Jiang Xiangdong. “This is our team’s chef, no matter how simple the ingredients are, he can turn them into a rare delicacy. If it weren’t for him, our days in this cave would probably be even harder.”
Saying that, Xiang Yunduan gently pushed Jiang Xiangdong and winked at him.
Jiang Xiangdong scratched his head awkwardly and bowed deeply to Lin Qianhuan. “I’m sorry, Miss Lin! I was blinded by greed last night, that’s why I attacked you. I have deeply realized my mistake, and I will never do it again in the future, I promise!” He clasped his hands nervously, his voice trembling a little.
Lin Qianhuan was amused by his panicked performance and raised her hand to help him up. “Okay, I know. You don’t need to make it so grand, not only are you embarrassed, but I’m also quite embarrassed. But you trying to take my life is indeed unforgivable. You still have to receive the punishment you deserve.”
Jiang Xiangdong lowered his head resignedly, “I understand.”
Lin Qianhuan hooked her lips and gave Jiang Xing a look. The other nodded gently, stepped forward and punched Jiang Xiangdong in the face, hitting him so hard that he retreated repeatedly, eventually hitting the cold stone wall.
Lin Qianhuan knew her character well, she was not a kind person, and she was also very vindictive. If it were in normal times, Jiang Xiangdong’s attempt to kill her in the middle of the night would probably have been met with a counter-kill on the spot. This time, it was because he was indeed for the safety of the Rose Base, and he was a sincere person. In addition, they would be cooperating with his team next, killing him would easily cause friction and be detrimental to the plan.
Xiang Yunduan was also very clear about this, and then stopped while ahead. “Thank you, Miss Lin, for your mercy, we will definitely cooperate with you well in the future, without any second thoughts.”
Lin Qianhuan hooked her lips, lowered her head and drank a sip of wild vegetable soup, as a sign of her attitude. She sat down at the stone table and took out a plate of eggs and sizzling meat pies from her space. “Everyone come and eat, I can’t take advantage of you for nothing. You treat me to wild vegetable soup, and I’ll treat you to eggs and meat pies.”
Lin Qianhuan smiled and pointed to the delicacies on the table, and took a meat pie to eat on her own. Xiang Yunduan was stunned in place, the smell of the meat pie was so fragrant that it quickly spread throughout the cave. He swallowed his saliva, and in the end, he couldn’t say the words of refusal. Not for anything else, it was really that they hadn’t touched meat for a long time.
“Thank you, Miss Lin.” Xiang Yunduan picked up a meat pie and took a bite carefully. The others followed suit and began to stuff meat pies into their mouths. They ate and cried, as if people who had been walking in the darkness had finally seen the light, feeling unbelievable.
Lu Xiaoyan was still lying in the cave inside, crying, thinking that someone would come to coax her back to eat, but she didn’t expect that no one came. Thinking of being angry and not eating breakfast, who would have thought that the aroma of meat pies and eggs kept drilling into her nostrils, tempting her so much that she couldn’t help but walk out with eyes swollen like walnuts.
Breakfast was quickly finished, whether it was eggs, meat pies, or the wild vegetable soup in the pot, they were all swept away. The open space in front of the cave was not small, Lin Qianhuan took out two Wolf Fang helicopters, which were controlled by her and Jiang Xing respectively.
Xiang Yunduan, Yao Qingxuan, Ruan Huacheng, Zhang Yaru and Lin Qianhuan rode in the same plane. The rest got into the helicopter controlled by Jiang Xing. The things in the cave had been cleaned up, the helicopters took off one after another, and at the same time drove towards the distant Xingluo Base.
Zhang Yaru was riding in a helicopter for the first time in her life. She carefully leaned on the glass and looked down, her eyes as bright as stars. “It’s so beautiful, it feels like the whole world is wrapped in white snow, and you can’t see any other colors.”
She was shocked by the beautiful scenery and lost her mind, only feeling that she was extremely small, and couldn’t find the meaning of existence at all.
Xiang Yunduan chatted with Lin Qianhuan, while the other helicopter driven by Jiang Xing was terribly quiet. Jiang Xing was not an enthusiastic person, and Du Yingui and others were not good at words, so they sat awkwardly in the back row, without saying a word.
Lu Xiaoyan nervously clutched the corner of her clothes, carefully observing Jiang Xing’s profile, her heart beating extremely fast. She hesitated for a long time, mustered her courage and said, “Mr. Jiang and Miss Lin’s relationship is very good.”
Hearing Lin Qianhuan’s name, Jiang Xing’s cold face softened. He nodded, “Yes, she is my wife, we have been married for a long time.”
The smile on Lu Xiaoyan’s face almost couldn’t be maintained, “Oh? Did you two get your marriage certificate before the apocalypse? That’s been quite a while.”
