Xia Yao bared her cute little tiger teeth, “Argh! I’m so mad!”
She tackled Zhong Yingxue onto the bed, and Zhong’s surprised yelps echoed through the phone.
Along with Xia Yao’s mischievous giggles.
“Go on, scream! No one’s coming to save you!”
The phone screen shook as the two girls playfully wrestled.
“Xiao Yao! Stop it! Quit… quit it!”
“Hehe! Nope! I won’t! Tickle, tickle, tickle!”
Jiang Nan was speechless.
To save Xuexue from this torment, he had to give in.
“Fine, I’ll give you candy!”
Xia Yao perked up instantly.
“Deal?”
Jiang Nan raised an eyebrow, “Still saying I used a beauty filter?”
Xia Yao shook her head like a rattle, “No way, no way! Xiao Nan’s the handsomest!”
“Sister Xia Yao loves you so much, I’d die if I didn’t see you for a day!”
“Still locking my throat?”
“No locking! How could I? I’ll give you a shoulder massage, pound your legs, and pass you sunflower seeds!”
Xia Yao was impossibly obedient, even deliberately showing her fluffy wolf ears.
Even with Jiang Nan’s iron will, he couldn’t resist this scene.
Love it, love it!
“Hmm… I’ll get you one when I’m back!”
“Yay! Xiao Nan’s the best!”
She hung up the video call lightning-fast.
Jiang Nan’s face froze.
Hmph!
Women!
Pushing open the door, Jiang Nan wondered if he should try a couple of ten-draws to test his luck.
But then…
He saw a blonde beauty in a loose white T-shirt standing in his room.
Wearing his Pikachu T-shirt, though it was stretched quite a bit!
Most importantly!
Katerina was munching on a huge cabbage, eating with gusto.
Both Jiang Nan and Katerina froze for a moment.
Her mouth was stuffed with cabbage…
An awkward atmosphere filled the air.
Jiang Nan scratched his head, “Oh… oops! Wrong house! How strange today!”
He turned to close the door and leave.
Katerina’s eyes widened, and she hurled the cabbage at Jiang Nan.
He spun around, teleported, and bolted.
Damn!
Why’s this blonde beauty in my house?
Where’s the Dark Night Legion?
Weren’t you supposed to catch her?
Come get her! She’s in my house!
“If you run or call the police, I’ll kill all your neighbors!”
Jiang Nan’s face stiffened.
He stopped at the door, turning back.
Katerina leaned against the doorway, smiling at him.
Jiang Nan said, “Big sister! What do you want? You didn’t lose out yesterday. You stabbed me, so why’re you clinging to me?”
Katerina recalled yesterday, fuming, but said, “I told you! Dead or alive, you’re mine!”
“You can’t escape!”
“Now! Come back! Immediately!”
Her gaze grew dangerous.
Her pupils slowly turned into snake slits.
Jiang Nan felt a pang of guilt.
This beauty’s at least Gold level, right? How can my scrawny arms compete with her?
He obediently returned to the room.
His eyes darted around.
Katerina sat on the bed, her posture odd.
Her combat suit lay discarded by the bedside.
She pointed at it, “Wash it. I need it tomorrow.”
Jiang Nan: ???
What the hell!
You eat my cabbage, fine!
Now I have to wash your clothes?
Katerina tapped the bed frame lightly.
Purple mist spread.
A small hole corroded in the iron pipe…
Jiang Nan turned to grab a basin and washing powder.
“Big sister! Want some Bizhen? Smells great!”
Katerina tilted her head, “What’s Bizhen?”
Jiang Nan: …
Sitting on a small stool, Jiang Nan washed the clothes, looking aggrieved.
Lynx, please!
Dark Night Legion, come quick!
I can’t hold on!
I’m so done!
Katerina sat on the bed, watching Jiang Nan’s back, feeling conflicted.
Her organization wouldn’t send backup for two days.
Though the Blood Burn reagent was gone, taking Jiang Nan would suffice.
Last night, out of options, she’d resorted to drastic measures.
But under the Dark Night Legion’s tight net, taking Jiang Nan alone was impossible.
She had to get word out and organize a mission to extract him.
The problem was surviving two days in Jiang City.
With no one else to turn to, she came to Jiang Nan, the only person she knew.
Plus, the reagent was still in his body.
She had to keep an eye on him.
Thinking this, her stomach growled again.
She picked up the cabbage she’d found in the kitchen, ready to keep eating.
Jiang Nan, finishing the washing, said, “A fine lady like you! Eating that at night?”
“I’ll cook for you!”
Ignoring Katerina, he rushed to the kitchen and started cooking.
Katerina looked suspicious. Why’s this guy suddenly so eager?
Watching Jiang Nan skillfully cook in the kitchen, the smell of homecooked food filled the air.
Katerina felt a twinge of warmth.
This annoying little brother wasn’t so bad.
Soon, a lavish meal was on the table.
A plate of leek and egg stir-fry.
A plate of bean sprout and pork stir-fry.
A pot of steamed rice.
It looked and smelled amazing.
Katerina’s stomach growled at the aroma.
Jiang Nan, full of anticipation, said, “Try it! My cooking’s not bad!”
Katerina licked her lips and started eating.
She took some egg and pork, while Jiang Nan watched nervously.
“Have some leeks! They’re delicious!”
Katerina ignored him, eating only egg and pork.
“The bean sprouts are great too, try some?”
She glared at him, still silent.
Jiang Nan grew anxious.
Why’s this girl so picky?
“You can’t be picky! Think of your health!”
Katerina rolled her eyes, “Mind your own business! Why aren’t you eating?”
Jiang Nan scratched his head, chuckling, “Me? I ate outside!”
Nonsense!
I wouldn’t dare eat either!
The leeks in the stir-fry were spiritual leeks!
The bean sprouts were from antidote soybeans!
Enough to knock you out!
Then I’d tip off the Dark Night Legion!
Hehe?
Perfect plan!
But Jiang Nan never expected this blonde beauty to be so picky.
What did vegetables do to you?
Give them a chance, take a bite!
In the end, Katerina ate only three pieces of egg, two pieces of pork, and a bowl of rice…
That night, Jiang Nan lay on the bed, conflicted.
Katerina lay beside him.
She stole the blanket and didn’t leave him a pillow…
This night!
So cold, so cold!
