Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 143 - 15: The Drama Queen Sister Refuses to Be Canno

It’s rare that we don’t eat from cans today, but instead cook a al. Although most of the ingredients are still from cans, frying them in a pan gives them a different taste, at least it feels like having a proper al.

Gu Han Yan also brought out a bottle of wine.

"Wow, Sister Gu, you only brought this good stuff out now!"

"I was just afraid you drunkards might cause trouble if you drink too much. But since it’s so peaceful today, a little drink won’t hurt."

Jiang Chao didn’t say much either. Seeing this, everyone just opened the bottle of liquor, passing it around for each person to take a swig. Yang Jun is a heavy drinker, and when it got to him, he took several gulps in a row, reluctantly passing the bottle on only after being urged by the others below.

The bonfire was lit, and perhaps because of the wine, the atmosphere tonight was unprecedentedly good. A pair of new additions to the group, a young man and woman, had already taken a liking to each other and gone to rest. Jiang Lai watched them and chuckled secretly, getting caught by Jiang Chao.

"What are you looking at?"

"Bro, what did those two go off to do?"

"They’re sleepy so they went to sleep. You as a kid, don’t ask too much, just eat and then sleep. I’ll keep watch tonight."

Seeing that the bottle was about to reach Jiang Chao, Jiang Lai intercepted it halfway.

"My brother doesn’t drink. None of you should give him any!"

"You’re not his wife, why are you so strict? Even our Sister Gu didn’t say anything!"

An uproarious teasing arose, and both the involved parties remained silent, especially Jiang Chao, who, being caught swallowing nervously, showed his guilt. Jiang Lai couldn’t help but sigh.

Such a disappointnt.

Even like this, those two could still take a liking to each other.

Thankfully, the original character’s temperant was well-established, so whatever Jiang Lai did was taken as a given by everyone. Thus, her sulking and throwing a tantrum was anticipated by Jiang Chao, who quickly shook his head and passed on the drink.

"I can’t drink; you guys go ahead, have more."

At this point, Yang Jun, who always liked to stir things up, suddenly asked.

"If you find yourself a wife in the future, who will you listen to, your wife or your sister?"

That’s when Jiang Chao realized he was sandwiched between two won, and Gu Han Yan raised her eyes to look at him.

"I was just about to ask that myself, everyone wants to know."

Jiang Chao swallowed again, subconsciously moving closer to Jiang Lai.

"I’ll listen to whoever makes sense, plus, I’m a man; can’t I make them both listen to ?"

Yang Jun continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Why don’t you first cheer up your sister before she gets upset and leaves?"

Jiang Chao turned his head, just to see Jiang Lai suddenly get up and leave. From her back, he could see her resentnt and dissatisfaction, making his head ache.

Gu Han Yan asked him.

"Not going to see?"

"It’s fine; she’ll be okay tomorrow."

"Listen to whoever makes sense... Do your words not make you feel guilty?"

Jiang Chao coughed.

The relationship between him and Gu Han Yan was very subtle. Though they were teammates and companions, there was an inexplicable bond between them. However, if there was anything more, neither of them had ever made it clear.

It was like they were silently competing, each waiting for the other to speak first.

As this ambiguous tension was heating up, on the other side, Jiang Lai was busy in the room, leaning down to tap and knock around, carefully listening to each sound.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking for sothing."

Jiang Lai was so engrossed in her search that when a voice sounded in her ear, she thought it was Little Buding speaking and didn’t realize it was soone else.

When she looked up again, she saw a pair of long, straight legs in front of her and, moving further up, Lin Yan’s face with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. The look in his eyes beneath the glasses was so unfathomable it was impossible to read what emotions lay inside.

"This is my room."

"I’m hungry."

"Didn’t you just have freshly cooked rice?"

After ransacking the entire village, Jiang Lai finally found a small bowl of rice. Once cooked, it all went straight into his stomach, and it wasn’t long before he was in front of her again complaining of hunger.

"Co with ."

"Can’t you see I’m busy?"

"Co with , and I’ll help you search later."

Jiang Lai stood up, looking at him suspiciously.

"Do you know what I’m looking for?"

The man nodded, then turned and walked out, giving off an attitude of ’believe it or not,’ and Jiang Lai hurriedly followed to keep up, sidling up to ask.

"Doctor Bai, can you give so more painkillers in exchange for finding you food?"

Jiang Lai extended her hand.

Though her regenerative ability was strong, pain was still pain.

Lin Yan glanced at her.

"Help get the job done; I’ll reward you a bit."

As they walked, Jiang Lai was instructed to take the lead and blaze the trail. The weeds growing wildly often tore at their clothing, but with Jiang Lai leading, Lin Yan was able to stroll leisurely as if on a walk through his own backyard.

After passing through a thicket, Jiang Lai finally understood what they were here for.

Amidst the grassy field in front of them were a few waterlons growing sporadically. Due to the location’s remoteness, they hadn’t been discovered until now.

"How did you discover this place?"

"Saw it on the way, save the chatter."

Grumbling, Jiang Lai walked in to pick the lons for him. The grass was so thick it was like wading through water, completely covering her calves.

One wasn’t enough, Lin Yan wanted two. When Jiang Lai couldn’t hold them, he simply pulled a dical waste bag from his pocket and threw it to her.

Smart guy, ca prepared all along.

He didn’t bother to co over himself for fear of dirt, instead calling in Jiang Lai, the sucker, to help get the job done.

Handing over the waterlon to him.

"Here."

Lin Yan stood motionless, not even stretching out his hand.

In the end, Jiang Lai washed the waterlon, cut it, and arranged it neatly in front of Lin Yan.

The man frowned at the waterlon seeds.

"I’ve never eaten such troubleso things before."

"Then don’t eat."

"I don’t eat seeds."

"You can just spit them out."

Lin Yan looked at Jiang Lai intently, then unhurriedly pulled a box of dicine from his shirt pocket and placed it gently in front of her, soon followed by pulling sothing resembling a laser pointer from another pocket, placing it in front of Jiang Lai as well.

"This is dicine, the reward for picking the waterlons."

Jiang Lai took the dicine, about to leave, when suddenly a slow sentence ca from behind.

"This is an ability detector, capable of precisely detecting activity points within a hundred ters underground. I’m waiting for soone with fate to present it to."

Jiang Lai slamd on the brakes, smoothly turned around, and with a smile spreading across her face, stood obediently by his side.

"Aren’t I the fated person you’re looking for?"

"Remove the waterlon seeds with this."

Lin Yan took a pair of silver tweezers from his personal cutlery box and handed it to Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai took a deep breath.

She didn’t really need to endure this nonsense punishnt, but she didn’t want to benefit Gu Han Yan. For the sake of the detector, she resigned herself to using the tweezers to patiently remove each waterlon seed for him.

Lin Yan had quite the appetite, eating five pieces in a row.

In the end, Jiang Lai’s spoils as the lackey were a box of painkillers, an ability detector, half of an uneaten waterlon, and a pair of silver tweezers that Lin Yan refused to take back after she’d used them.
