"Yao Ji Wang? I haven't seen that in ages, I used to order takeout from them all the time!"
Lan Mi sniffed the aroma, unable to stop herself from swallowing.
She was currently dirty and smelly, with a foolish look on her face, which made Zi Xing frown with disdain.
"Who are you? What kind of beggar followed us here!"
"Beggar?"
Zi Xing turned her head indifferently, her initial surprise at seeing Luo Luo turning to joy, and finally, a trace of hostility flickered in her eyes.
People naturally gravitated towards beauty, and she was no exception.
However, Luo Luo was too beautiful. Unlike An Nuan's cool elegance, she was a sweet, playful type.
Having such a delicate beauty by the side of a great beauty made her uneasy.
But Zi Xing was also overjoyed.
She could tell that the relationship between the two women was not ordinary, much better than with that man.
Her eyes didn't lie!
Luo Luo saw Zi Xing's gaze change instantaneously, her thoughts laid bare for all to see.
Luo Luo looked at An Nuan: Is this person an idiot? We're just pure, straight women, how did she get that idea?
An Nuan: You called her an idiot, so how would I know how an idiot's mind works?
Seeing them exchange knowing glances, Zi Xing was ecstatic.
As long as the path was winding, she had hope!
From this moment on, Zi Xing considered Luo Luo an enemy.
Zi Xing put on a fake smile: "Is this your companion? My name is Zi Xing, what's yours?"
"Big Sister."
"Big..."
Zi Xing gritted her teeth: "You're playing with me!"
Luo Luo ignored her, slinging an arm around An Nuan's shoulder. "I'm tired, let's go back and rest. Your husband is waiting for us."
"Mm, I'm tired too. Please move aside, we need to go home."
"Then this chicken..."
"You can have it, we don't need it."
An Nuan was already quite cold, but in Zi Xing's eyes, she had an air of sophistication.
And she was also considerate of her.
Otherwise, why would she refuse the roasted chicken!
Zi Xing watched An Nuan's departing back, her heart fluttering, her eyes sparkling with countless little hearts.
Tang Jing, standing beside her, trembled with anger.
Such a good roasted chicken was a rare find, and no one in the team had even gotten a drop of its juices, yet she had actually given it away to others.
What was most infuriating was that the other party wasn't even interested!
"Hmph, acting all high and mighty, not even looking at roasted chicken. Does she have piles of it at home and is tired of eating it?"
An Nuan wasn't tired of eating it, she just wasn't interested.
Right now, all she wanted was to wash off the smell of blood.
An Nuan told Lan Mi to stay close, lest she trigger any traps.
As soon as she opened the door, Chang Kai Tong and Chen Wen Jing were already waiting anxiously at the entrance.
"Boss, you're back! Are you tired? Are you thirsty?"
"Sister Nuan, nothing happened, right? Were you in danger? Where's Sister Luo Luo, are you alright?"
"Neither of us are hurt."
An Nuan pulled Lan Mi over. "Let me introduce you, this is our new companion, her name is Lan Mi."
Lan Mi felt a little embarrassed. She vaguely sensed that these two young people were unusual...
"Lan Mi doesn't have any special abilities for now, and we don't know if she'll awaken any in the future. But since she's joined us, everyone should get along well."
"Don't worry, Sister Nuan, we have no objections to anyone you approve of!"
An Nuan nodded and took Lan Mi to wash up.
With more people in the house, bathing had become a problem.
Although almost every room had a bathroom, the water pressure might not be enough if everyone showered at the same time.
While showering, An Nuan considered implementing a staggered schedule to avoid peak times.
She finished her quick rinse and came out.
Lan Mi was still showering in the downstairs bathroom.
"Still washing?"
"She's covered in mud, it'll take a while to scrub it all off!"
An Nuan didn't begrudge the water, she was just worried that Lan Mi, having not showered for a long time and not eaten nutritious food, might faint in there, which would be dangerous.
Bang!
"Oh no!"
Be careful what you wish for, as they say.
An Nuan rushed into the bathroom, wrapped Lan Mi in a bathrobe, and quickly carried her out.
Hai Chang Feng infused her with some life force, and Lan Mi slowly opened her eyes.
"I... oh, this is so embarrassing! I've caused you trouble again."
Lan Mi curled up on the sofa, embarrassed, wishing she could disappear into a hole in the upholstery.
Hai Chang Feng brewed a cup of American ginseng tea, Xiao Long brought a piece of chocolate, Chang Kai Tong draped a blanket over her, and Chen Wen Jing handed her a cushion to prop herself up more comfortably.
Everyone showed Lan Mi kindness, which made her even more ashamed.
"I'm sorry, I've caused everyone trouble."
"Drink some American ginseng tea with me every day and eat some warming foods, and you'll be fine soon."
"Long Long's chocolate is for the pretty sister too!"
Lan Mi scrubbed off the mud, and her naturally fair and alluring appearance emerged.
She was just a little less stunning than An Nuan and Luo Luo, but she was still a beauty, a voluptuous one at that.
Hai Chang Feng smiled. "We're all good-looking in this house, much better than other teams!"
"If it's about looks, we absolutely crush everyone else! Lan Mi, just say what you want to eat. Besides being good-looking, we have plenty of food, don't be shy."
"Luo Luo, I just want something hot to drink."
"Then I'll make soup today."
Luo Luo took a pork bone from the refrigerator and with a few swift strokes of a rattan vine, chopped the bone into pieces.
Chen Wen Jing was stunned. He had never seen anyone use a rattan vine as a knife before; it was so cool!
An Nuan took out some dried fish from her spatial storage. Juanzi swallowed it in one gulp, looking rather displeased.
Juanzi: For a cat my size, a single dried fish barely fills the gaps between my teeth...
"Where's Daizi? He's so delicious, why isn't he here?"
"I was just about to tell you. Look at Daizi, he seems a bit off."
Hai Chang Feng led her to the guest bedroom downstairs. Daizi had dragged the quilt to a corner and hidden himself inside, leaving only a small triangular space for his nose to breathe.
"Daizi, do you want some dried fish?"
"Meow meow..."
Daizi let out a whimper and slowly poked his head out.
"Good heavens, are you running a fever?"
His fur had changed color!
An Nuan touched his head; it was burning hot!
Hai Chang Feng said, "He's been like this for an hour. I tried to infuse him with life force, but it didn't help. Do we need to find a vet?"
"A vet can't treat a mutated creature."
"Then what do we do? He looks like he has a high fever, and he's wrapping himself up and refusing to come out. Isn't that making things worse? You silly thing!"
Daizi's tail wrapped around Hai Chang Feng's neck.
He was sweating from the heat. "My bad, my bad, you're a genius, alright? Stop burning me!"
Awooo awooo.
Daizi coiled his tail and rubbed it on the ground repeatedly. An Nuan had a bold guess...
"Juanzi, come here. Your wife needs you right now!"
Juanzi walked in from outside, carrying a live fish in his mouth. The two cats met each other's gaze, and a pheromone imperceptible to humans filled the room...
