Chapter 380: Unserious Daily Life (Third Update)
Now they could be certain that this pile of concrete in front of them was their home!
It had only been one day!
How had it turned into this?!
And she had the nerve to ask what happened?
This is how you watch the house?
Xia Yao pounced like a wolf, opening her mouth to bite!
"Xiao Nan! I'm going to bite you to death! Where's the house? Where did the house go?!"
Zhong Yingxue's pretty face also darkened: "What happened? Did a meteor hit our house?"
Where were they supposed to sleep tonight?
Nightingale watched the fun from the sidelines, snickering secretly!
Let's see how you get through this one!
Jiangnan's expression was solemn: "You don't know! The Centaur Galaxy..."
Xia Yao: "You've used that excuse before!"
Zhong Yingxue: "Used it twice!"
Jiangnan: ...
Awkward.
"Actually... our house was hit by a meteor!"
Xia Yao: (￢‸￢)
Zhong Yingxue: (◦`~´◦)
Could you be any more half-hearted?
That excuse was just something I made up!
Jiangnan: "And an alien jumped out of the meteor! I fought it for 300 rounds before subduing it and stuffing it into a sack!"
"I just contacted the Spirit Martial Research Institute, and they said they'd give me 10 million US dollars to buy this alien, which is enough for us to buy a house!"
[From Victoria Sasha's resentment value +1000!]
"Mmm—mmm mmm!"
The sack wriggled.
You're the alien! Your whole family are aliens!
And! It's 30 million! Not 10 million!
Xia Yao covered her mouth with little hands, full of amazement: "Wow~ Xiao Nan is so amazing! He even caught an alien?"
Zhong Yingxue: "This alien is so pitiful..."
Jiangnan: ...
Can you two at least act a little more convincingly?
This really kills my sense of accomplishment!
Even an idiot could tell—
Something big definitely happened at home during the day!
It was a very dangerous situation.
Jiangnan didn't want to say, naturally because he didn't want them to worry.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao knew this in their hearts, so they didn't press further.
Xia Yao: "So now the question is—where are we staying tonight?"
Zhong Yingxue tilted her head: "Let me ask Xiao Yu."
So she dialed a number.
"Hey? Xiao Yu?"
"What's up? Xuexue?"
"Can we crash at your place for the night?"
"Come on over! Sure! How many of you?"
Zhong Yingxue counted: "Uh... five and a half?"
Who knew what was in Jiangnan's sack?!
Yu Qingqing: ???
How is there half a person?
But she didn't care, as long as they could come!
"Then hurry over! I'll ask my mom to make hotpot for us!"
...
On the sidewalk, the group headed straight for Yu Qingqing's house.
Passersby glanced sideways at Jiangnan, faces full of horror.
"Mommy! That big brother is carrying a moving sack!"
"Don't look! He's a bad guy! If you keep staring, he might put you in a sack too!"
"Wahh—Baby doesn't want to be put in a sack!"
"Thugs are so bold these days! They don't even hide what they're doing? At least cover your face!"
"That guy looks really familiar..."
"Hey? Is this 911? There's... there's a kidnapping!"
Xia Yao covered her mouth and giggled: "You scared a little kid into crying! They said you look like a kidnapper..."
Nightingale: "Be confident! Drop the 'like'!"
This guy is a kidnapper, isn't he?
Jiangnan: ...
"I still have sacks! Want to try?"
[From Xia Yao...]
[From Nightingale...]
Zhong Yingxue gently tugged Jiangnan's sleeve, worried: "Are you really okay?"
Jiangnan smiled brightly: "Don't worry!"
...
In front of a luxurious villa, Zhong Yingxue rang the doorbell.
The door opened.
Yu Qingqing smiled sweetly: "Haha! You guys finally came! Nan Shen... uh—"
Not only was Yu Qingqing stunned,
But her mother behind her had a pale face, eyes full of terror.
Why was this man carrying a sack! And it was moving!
From the shape, there was definitely a person inside!
This... this wasn't a fugitive, was it?!
But no one brought up the issue!
Zhong Yingxue smiled: "Where's your dad?"
Yu Qingqing snickered: "Ate some poisonous mushrooms, he's in the room counting little people!"
Yu's mom: "You silly girl! Still laughing at your dad! Come on, come inside, it's cold outside!"
Everyone entered the house, while Yu's mom's eyes kept falling on the sack, in a daze.
Jiangnan scratched his head: "Hehe, sorry to bother you so late, Auntie. Sorry for the trouble."
"I heard Uncle is poisoned? Give this to him to eat, it'll detoxify and nourish the body. Just remember to eat a little at a time!"
With that, he handed Yu's mom two pounds of Detoxifying Soybeans.
Yu's mom snapped out of it and smiled: "You didn't have to bring anything, I feel so embarrassed. Come in quickly!"
Everyone went into Yu Qingqing's room.
Yu's mom quickly pulled Yu Qingqing aside and whispered: "Honey! These... these people aren't kidnappers, are they? You can't help harbor fugitives!"
Yu Qingqing smiled bitterly: "Mom, what are you worrying about? They're all my classmates! Don't worry!"
Yu's mom looked suspicious and went to cook.
As soon as Yu Qingqing entered the room, she saw Jiangnan's sack thrown in the corner.
Five and a half?
Was the half in the sack?
Thinking about that, she started to panic too.
Couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xuexue! What happened to your house?"
Zhong Yingxue: "Hit by a meteor..."
Yu Qingqing: "Huh?"
"Then what's in the sack?"
Xia Yao: "An alien!"
Now Yu Qingqing had a black question mark face!
Are you serious?
I haven't read much, don't lie to me!
Yu Qingqing's room was very girly.
Pink walls, a bed decorated with stars.
In the middle of the room was a kang stove, covered with a quilt.
A bunch of people sat around the kang stove, stuffing their legs under the quilt.
The atmosphere was lively and warm.
Jiangnan wiped his nose. A year ago, he was worrying about next month's rent in a rented room.
But now...
It was really good.
Not long after, Yu's mom brought a steaming hotpot to the table.
All kinds of side dishes were set out, a lavish full table.
"Eat up, don't be shy!"
Jiangnan, who had been hungry all day, couldn't hold back any longer and went straight for the lamb rolls.
The others also grabbed their chopsticks.
"Wow! This broth is way too delicious!"
"Unbeatable!"
"Eeep—"
"Mila, eat slower! It's hot! Let me blow on it for you!"
"Dammit! Nightingale! You eat at light speed even during hotpot? You ate the whole plate of meat yourself!"
"Pfft! You're the one who ate it! This guy is shameless again!"
The room was thick with fragrance, accompanied by the gurgling sound of the hotpot.
Who could resist?
At this moment, Victoria, stuffed inside the sack, had three streams of tears flowing from her eyes and mouth.
(｡꒦ິ﹃꒦ີ｡)
Lord Divine!
Come save me! This man is a devil!
You promised me steamed buns and pickled vegetables, and now I don't even get that!
[From Victoria...]
Meanwhile, Jiangnan was fishing around in the hotpot with a small strainer.
"Mmm—where did the quail eggs I threw in float off to?"
He scooped from the bottom and looked at the contents in the strainer—his face went white in an instant!
Cold sweat poured down!
In the strainer were two star anise, three Sichuan peppercorns, and a cinnamon leaf.
That wasn't the problem!
The problem was—there were seven swollen soybeans in the strainer!
Yu's mom put the soybeans I just gave her in the pot?!
No... don't tell me...
But looking at them, they were clearly his own Detoxifying Soybeans!
Should he say something? Should he tell everyone?
His mind was frantically struggling.
But when he looked up and saw everyone eating happily, Jiangnan swallowed his saliva and silently put the strainer back into the pot.
Yeah... pretend it never happened.
Jiangnan never used to believe in karma or retribution.
But now...
He believed.
The cycle of heaven always comes around.
(Fill in the blank!)
Xia Yao secretly glanced at Jiangnan, a little nervous.
Xiao Nan wouldn't have noticed that I secretly ate his quail eggs, would he?
