Now they were absolutely certain that this pile of concrete rubble in front of them was indeed their home!
It had only been one day!
How on earth had it turned into this?
And he still had the nerve to ask what was wrong?
This is how you looked after the house?
Xia Yao lunged at him like a wolf, mouth wide open, ready to bite!
“Xiao Nan! I’ll bite you to death! The house? Where’s the house gone!”
Zhong Yingxue’s pretty face darkened too. “What happened? Did a meteor smash into our place?”
Where are we supposed to sleep tonight!
Nightingale stood off to the side watching the show, giggling sneakily!
Let’s see how you get out of this one!
Jiang Nan looked solemn. “You don’t know! The Centaurus galaxy…”
Xia Yao: “You’ve used that excuse before!”
Zhong Yingxue: “Twice!”
Jiang Nan: …
Awkward!
“Actually… our house got hit by a meteor!”
Xia Yao: (￢‸￢)
Zhong Yingxue: (◦`~´◦)
Could you be any more half-hearted?
That was the excuse I just came up with!
Jiang Nan: “And an alien jumped out of the meteorite! We fought three hundred rounds before I subdued it and stuffed it in the sack!”
“I just contacted the Spirit Martial Research Institute. They’re willing to pay me ten million dollars for this alien. Enough to buy us a new house!”
[Resentment value from Victoria Sasha +1000!]
“Mmph~ Mmph mmph mmph!”
The sack wriggled furiously!
You’re the alien! Your whole family are aliens!
And another thing! It was thirty million! Not ten million!
Xia Yao covered her mouth, eyes wide with amazement. “Wow~ Xiao Nan is so amazing! He even caught an alien?”
Zhong Yingxue: “This alien looks so pitiful!”
Jiang Nan: …
Could you two act a bit more convincingly?
This is making me feel like I achieved nothing!
Even an idiot could tell!
There had definitely been a huge battle at home during the day!
A very dangerous situation!
Since Jiang Nan didn’t want to talk about it, it was naturally because he didn’t want them to worry!
Zhong Yingxue and the others understood perfectly, so they didn’t press further!
Xia Yao: “So now the problem is! Where do we sleep tonight!”
Zhong Yingxue tilted her head. “I’ll ask Xiao Yu!”
She made a quick call!
“Hello? Xiao Yu?”
“What’s up, Xuexue?”
“Can a few of us crash at your place for the night?”
“Come, come! Hehe! How many of you?”
Zhong Yingxue counted. “Um… five and a half?”
God knows what Jiang Nan has in that sack!
Yu Qingqing: ???
How is there a half?
But she didn’t care. As long as they came!
“Hurry over then! I’ll get my mum to make hotpot for us!”
…
On the pavement, the group headed straight for Yu Qingqing’s house!
Passers-by kept turning to stare at Jiang Nan, faces full of terror!
“Mummy! That big brother is carrying a moving sack!”
“Don’t look! He’s a bad guy! If you keep looking, he’ll stuff you in a sack too!”
“Waa~ Baby doesn’t want to be put in a sack!”
“Kidnappers these days are so bold! They don’t even hide anymore! At least cover your face!”
“This guy looks kind of familiar…”
“Hello? 110? There’s… there’s a kidnapping!”
Xia Yao covered her mouth, giggling. “You’ve made little kids cry! They say you look like a kidnapper…”
Nightingale: “Have some confidence! Remove the ‘like’!”
He literally is one, okay?
Jiang Nan: …
“I have more sacks! Want to try them out?”
[From Xia Yao…]
[From Nightingale…]
Zhong Yingxue gently tugged Jiang Nan’s sleeve, worried. “Really okay?”
Jiang Nan beamed. “Don’t worry!”
…
In front of a luxurious villa, Zhong Yingxue rang the doorbell!
The door opened!
Yu Qingqing smiled super sweetly. “Haha! You finally made it, Nan God… uh!”
Not only Yu Qingqing froze!
Her mum behind her went pale, eyes filled with horror!
Why is this guy carrying a moving sack!
From the shape, it’s definitely a person inside!
Th-this can’t be a fugitive, right!
Yet nobody mentioned it!
Zhong Yingxue smiled. “Where’s uncle?”
Yu Qingqing snickered. “Mushroom poisoning. He’s in his room counting little people!”
Mum: “Silly girl! Stop laughing at your dad! Quick, quick, everyone come in, it’s cold outside!”
They all went inside, but Mum’s eyes stayed glued to the sack, totally zoned out!
Jiang Nan scratched his head. “Hehe, sorry for bothering you so late, Auntie! Here’s some trouble for you!”
“I heard uncle got poisoned? Give him these. Detox and health-boosting. Remember, just a little!”
He handed Mum two catties of little yellow beans!
Only then did Mum snap out of it, smiling. “No need to bring anything, makes me feel bad. Come in!”
Everyone went into Yu Qingqing’s room!
Mum quickly pulled Yu Qingqing aside, whispering. “Daughter! These… these people aren’t robbers, right? You can’t harbour fugitives!”
Yu Qingqing smiled bitterly. “Mum, what are you worrying about? They’re all my classmates! Relax!”
Mum went off to cook, still suspicious!
The moment Yu Qingqing entered the room, she spotted the sack Jiang Nan had tossed in the corner!
Five and a half?
The half must be whatever’s in the bag!
Thinking this, she got scared too!
Unable to hold back her curiosity. “Xuexue! What happened to your house?”
Zhong Yingxue: “Got hit by a meteor…”
Yu Qingqing: “Ha?”
“And what’s in that sack?”
Xia Yao: “Alien!”
Yu Qingqing now had a full-on black-person question mark face!
Are you serious?
I didn’t study much, don’t lie to me!
Yu Qingqing’s room was very girly!
Pink walls, bed hung with stars!
In the middle of the room was a heated kang table with a quilt over it!
Everyone sat around the kang, legs tucked under the quilt!
The atmosphere was lively and warm!
Jiang Nan wiped his nose. A year ago he was still worrying about next month’s rent in a tiny flat!
But now…
Life was really pretty good!
Before long, Mum brought in a steaming hotpot and placed it on the table!
All kinds of ingredients were laid out, a table overflowing with abundance!
“Eat up, don’t be shy!”
Jiang Nan, starving all day, couldn’t hold back anymore. He went straight for the lamb rolls!
Everyone else started eating too!
“Wow! This broth is way too delicious!”
“Invincible!”
“Eee~”
“Mila, slow down! It’s hot, let me blow on it for you!”
“Oi! Nightingale! Even hotpot you eat at light speed? You finished a whole plate of meat!”
“Pah! It was clearly you! This guy is being shameless again!”
The room filled with rich aromas, accompanied by the bubbling sounds!
Who could resist?
At this moment, Victoria, stuffed in the sack, had three lines of tears streaming from her eyes and mouth!
(｡꒦ິ﹃꒦ີ｡)
Lord God King!
Come save me! This guy is the devil!
He won’t even give me the promised steamed buns and pickled veg!
[From Victoria…]
Right now Jiang Nan was fishing around in the hotpot with a small strainer!
“Mmm~ Where did the quail eggs I threw in go?”
He scooped from the bottom, looked at what was in the strainer, and his face went white!
Cold sweat poured down!
In the strainer: two star anise, three Sichuan peppercorns, one bay leaf!
That wasn’t the problem!
The problem was seven swollen cooked yellow beans!
Did Mum put in the yellow beans I just gave her?
N-no way?
But one look, they were clearly his detox little yellow beans!
Should he say something? Tell everyone?
His mind was in turmoil!
But he looked up. Everyone was eating happily. Jiang Nan swallowed hard, quietly put the strainer back in the pot!
Yeah… just pretend nothing happened!
In the past, Jiang Nan never believed in karma or retribution!
Now…
He believed!
The heavens always cycle!
(Blank to fill: Cang Tian Rao Guo Shei / Heaven spares none!)
Xia Yao sneaked a glance at Jiang Nan, a little nervous!
Xiao Nan definitely didn’t notice I secretly ate his quail eggs, right?
