Of course, Leader Luo knew that if she dared to take this bribe from Ruan Chanchan, the elders would skin her alive. But—but, the scent of these dumplings was really good. How was she supposed to ignore this tempting scent and turn her head to one side?
"Leader!"
"Alright, alright," Leader Luo placed the package on the side and raised her hands in the air. "Happy now?" In the end, the fear of the elders still won, and she cleverly bypassed the hurdle that Ruan Chanchan had placed in front of her.
Behind an old and thick tree. Xiao Xi looked at the woman who had resolutely put away the package of dumplings on the side and pursed his lips. He then turned to look at Ruan Chanchan and said to her, "Darling, it seems like the chances of winning against that woman are not really good."
Ruan Chanchan curled her lips on one side when she heard Xiao Xi’s response. Straightening up, she said to Xiao Xi, "I will see how long she will be able to ignore those dumplings." Those were not just any dumplings, but juicy pork dumplings with extra spicy sauce. Ruan Chanchan had noticed that the woman didn’t find the als cooked at the tribe appetising. It wasn’t until she found chilli that Leader Luo started to enjoy her als.
Ruan Chanchan knew that, unlike the rest of the tribe, who liked bland at more than the spicy one. Leader Luo was among those who liked eating the spicy at that was prepared for only a few mbers of the tribe who liked to eat sothing more flavourful. And Leader Luo was among these people. So if she could avoid the temptation of these dumplings, then Ruan Chanchan would take her hat off for her!
"You just wait; she won’t be able to hold on for long." Ruan Chanchan sneered. "And if she does manage to hold on, then I will shove those buns down her throat." She was determined to make this woman crumble by hook or by crook.
However, Ruan Chanchan didn’t have to worry about taking such a drastic step.
Because Leader Lu soon returned to the spot where she had placed the package. She looked left and then right before turning to look at the little package that was sitting under the shade of the tree.
I should probably ignore this package, given that the elders will definitely make things difficult for —but if I eat this thing secretly, no one will find out anything.
Leader Luo thought that she was really smart. Not only could she make Ruan Zeqiu suffer as the elders asked her to, but she could also eat these dumplings without being caught. With that thought in her head, she hurriedly shoved one juicy dumpling in her mouth.
Leader Luo: !!!!
Her eyes brightened, and she looked at the dumplings with an air of surprise. She never thought that these tiny things could taste so good. She then looked around once again and took another bite, and then another, and then another, and then—
Her hand reached out to grab another dumpling, but as soon as her fingers brushed against the package, she realised that she couldn’t grab onto anything. Startled, Leader Luo looked down at the package and realised that the dumplings inside had long finished. Her face turned awkward, and she looked at the empty leaf package in her hands. It seed like she ate all the dumplings while lost in the taste as well as her thoughts.
She pursed her lips and looked at the package as if she was waiting for the dumplings to appear in the package right away. However, when they didn’t, Leader Luo could only glare at the package and dump it on the ground. "Humph, who wants to eat more of them?" She scoffed; despite the desire to eat more dumplings, Leader Luo was determined to ignore it. Anyway, she was a strong totem warrior; there was no way she was going to give in to the little bribe of so dumplings.
At least that was what Leader Luo thought until—
"Chanchan?"
It’s showti!
Ruan Chanchan, who had been waiting for Leader Luo’s arrival, raised her head. Her lips curled into a sly smile as she turned to look at the woman behind her.
Xiao Xi: "..."
Darling, you need to be really careful. Watch your expression. Watch your expression.
Only then did Ruan Chanchan change her expression and turn to look at Leader Luo with a pleasant smile on her face, which was similar to that of a saleswoman. Perfect curve of lips along with perfectly aligned teeth. "Leader Luo! What a pleasant surprise. How can I help you?"
Even though Ruan Chanchan knew very well what this woman wanted from her, she still pretended not to understand the situation. She blinked her eyes, dropped the ladle in her hand into the pot, and walked over to where Leader Luo was standing. With a smile on her lips, she said to the woman, "What happened? Did Zeqiu make a mistake?"
Leader Luo’s face flushed red when she heard Ruan Chanchan’s question. What was she supposed to say? That Ruan Zeqiu was doing very well despite the harsh conditions that she had placed in front of him? That she ca here to get so dumplings from her despite causing trouble for Ruan Zeqiu the entire day?
Even though Leader Luo thought that she had thick skin, at that mont, she felt like even her face was feeling a bit warm due to the embarrassnt that she was feeling at that mont.
Even with her thick skin, she couldn’t bring herself to say that she wanted to get so dumplings!
"What’s the matter, Leader Luo?" Ruan Chanchan tilted her head to one side naively and with a hint of innocence asked, "Is sothing the matter, Leader Luo? Why are you silent?" She then clasped her hands over her mouth and gasped, "My brother is alive, right? He didn’t die, did he?"
