~12 min read 2,337 words

Chen Shu was in a very pleasant mood.

How pleasant?

Probably as pleasant as Zhang Suannai.

After happily closing the Ancient Cultivation Group, Chen Shu opened WeChat.

Chen Banxia: Who? I can't come

Chen Shu:?

Chen Shu: Who wants to play with you?

Chen Banxia: /I'll beat you to death, you unfilial rebel.

Chen Shu closed WeChat.

He studied the Penetration Rune for a while.

Daily Cultivation.

The ninth day of the third lunar month was a bright, sunny day.

Zhang Suannai went to Yujing Academy again; this time, she didn't run into that Sixth Stage Royal Guard. Relying on her unique investigative skills, she obtained the name of the "sand sculpture" vegetable from a classmate in the Literature Academy.

"Tsk tsk!"

Her mood today was truly pleasant.

Zhang Suannai hummed a tune as she returned to the Dormitory.

Both sisters were in the Dormitory, sitting in the living room, seemingly having just returned from outside as well. The things they had bought were piled on the sofa—

A bag of kiwis and a bag of mangoes;

Several one-liter cartons of exotic beast milk;

A bag of snacks consisting of a few packs of potato chips and spicy lotus root;

A large bag of puffed corn tubes. This snack goes by different names in various places, sometimes called rice flowers or popcorn flowers; it is a hollow, long, tubular snack made from rice and corn as raw materials. The ones sold in the city now have other ingredients added, making them colorful and very pretty.

Just looking at their daily habits, one really couldn't tell at all that they possessed the Heavenly Human Bloodline.

But their coldness was truly cold.

Zhang Suannai walked to the sofa and looked at the little girl.

She saw the little girl holding her hand up with her five fingers spread, each finger wearing a different-colored puffed corn tube. She bit them off one by one in order, while staring with full concentration at a popular science documentary playing on the TV, which introduced the history of the rise and fall of the ancient Night Person kingdom.

Beside her, Taozi was also holding a small piece of a puffed corn tube, gnawing on it with great dedication.

Zhang Suannai felt the little girl was inexplicably cute, even if she was a bit infuriating at times, but she was a magnanimous person and wouldn't hold it against the little girl.

At this moment, she sat down next to the little girl again and asked:

"Did you two go out to play too?"

"Mm."

"Where did you buy the puffed corn tubes?"

"Outside."

"Where outside?"

"At the stall that puffs the tubes."

"Where is the stall?"

"Outside."

"......"

Zhang Suannai was in a good mood today and didn't bother arguing with the little girl. Seeing the little girl eating the puffed corn tubes like that, she also opened the bag, took a few, put one on each finger of her left hand, and ate them one by one.

Ning Qing, who was beside her, glanced at her, her tone very flat: "You seem to be in a very good mood today."

"You bet!"

Zhang Suannai admitted it very proudly, subconsciously wanting to share her happiness with her roommate.

But then she thought about it—the Ancient Cultivation Group was, after all, a secret, and if she wanted to make her roommate understand her happiness, she would have to start from the beginning, which would be too long a story. She herself wouldn't mind, but her roommate would probably get up and walk back to her room after hearing at most two sentences.

She wasn't even as polite as her younger sister.

Her sister would at least say, "Sorry, Sister Suannai, I don't want to listen anymore."

Zhang Suannai ate a puffed corn tube and changed the subject: "You two seem to be in a good mood today too, actually going out to buy things."

"Mm."

"You guys are very strange..."

"Oh."

"Sometimes I think you're quite similar to those with the Heavenly Human Bloodline, or those people in our sect—not interested in anything. But sometimes I feel like I'm wrong." Zhang Suannai scratched her head. "Look at you, you even love eating snacks."

"......" Ning Qing ignored her.

"It's delicious." The little girl chewed the puffed corn tube with a crunch.

"I don't think this is sweet," Zhang Suannai said.

"It's sweet," the little girl corrected her.

"Alright, alright." Zhang Suannai said, then paused, her eyebrows arching: "Since we're all in such a good mood today, why don't we cook some of the Wax Ribs and Sausage you brought from home tonight? We had some last time, and it was so delicious!"

The little girl ate her puffed corn tube and glanced at her sister.

Qingqing nodded:

"That's fine."

"Great!"

Zhang Suannai was so happy she almost jumped up!

She rarely got to eat such homemade cured meats—she naturally couldn't eat them when she was little at the orphanage, and later she was taken into the Sword Sect; it was already quite good that the people in the Sword Sect could guarantee your normal diet, so these things were naturally absent.

Zhang Suannai had eaten them a few times at restaurants outside, but the feeling of eating them in a restaurant was different.

It wasn't about the flavor; it was a feeling.

Moreover, the cured meats Ning Qing brought were also excellent in flavor.

Especially the Cured Meat and the Wax Ribs: the Cured Meat, when boiled and sliced thin, was crystal clear and not greasy at all. The Wax Ribs hadn't been smoked; last time Ning Qing boiled three ribs to eat directly and used two more, cut into sections, to make porridge. The meat was rich and fragrant. The little girl said they could also be used to make a Wax Rib hot pot, which was also very delicious. It was a pity that it sounded like neither she nor her sister knew how to cook it, which was a bit regrettable.

Zhang Suannai was already starting to look forward to it: "How many should we cook this time? Is it still one each?"

"Mm."

"How about two?"

"No."

"Tsk, why are you so stingy? You don't seem like someone with a Heavenly Human Bloodline at all..." Zhang Suannai paused. "Then after we eat tonight, how about I treat you all to an all-you-can-eat barbecue tomorrow? Consider it me paying you back..."

"Ah, I haven't had barbecue in so long!"

"No," Ning Qing said coldly.

"Why?" Zhang Suannai was taken aback, blinking her eyes as she looked at her. "There's no class tomorrow, right?"

"I have things to do."

"What things?"

"Don't ask so many questions."

"What things?" Zhang Suannai turned to the little girl again; she felt the little girl was a bit cuter than her sister. "Does Xiaoxiao have things to do too?"

"Mm!" The little girl nodded earnestly. She took a small piece of bubble tube and fed it to Taozi, saying at the same time, "We are going out to eat."

"Where to?"

"Outside."

"Why do you have to go out to eat?"

"Because it's outside."

"..." Zhang Suannai fell silent for a moment. "Is someone treating you?"

"Mm."

"Is someone else having a birthday?"

"Mm."

"Then I know..."

Zhang Suannai was also an incredibly clever person, so she stopped asking and made a judgment: "It must be that fellow-townsman senior sister of Qingqing's, right?"

The little girl looked at her strangely.

"Hmph hmph..."

Seeing this, Zhang Suannai couldn't help but show a look of triumph: "Did I guess it right away? Are you curious about how I guessed it? Call me Sister Suannai, and I'll teach you my secrets to analysis and solving cases!"

The little girl blinked her eyes.

Taozi also looked up at her.

Qingqing did too.

Zhang Suannai met the gazes of the two people and one cat, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but scratch her head, feeling like they were looking at a fool.

The next day, early morning.

The light outside was very strong, piercing through the curtains.

It seemed to be a nice day again.

Usually, if she wanted to go out to play, Zhang Suannai hoped for good weather; if she wasn't going out, she would complain that the sun was too dazzling and interfered with her sleep.

"Ha~~"

Zhang Suannai yawned, scratched her bird's nest of hair, and walked toward the bathroom.

The door wasn't closed, but there was someone inside.

Her roommate was facing the mirror, quietly applying lipstick.

Her lips were thin and delicate, possessing a rare, graceful, and moving curve. After applying the lipstick evenly, she pursed her lips slightly, and that momentary brilliance seemed to give Zhang Suannai's heart a jolt, making her blink hard to break free from that state and return to her senses.

She certainly wasn't a lesbian; Zhang Suannai was absolutely certain of that.

But girls are often better at appreciating beauty than boys, and also better at appreciating the beauty of their own gender—being able to live day and night with someone who is pleasing to the eye is, after all, a pleasant thing.

Zhang Suannai couldn't help but think: if things went smoothly, it wouldn't be bad to be friends with Ning Qing and Ning Xiao for a lifetime.

Anyway, neither of them would ever look for a boyfriend.

Accompanying each other is always better than being lonely.

Maybe in the future, she could even provide for the sisters in their old age and see them off.

Zhang Suannai was thinking this when she suddenly saw Ning Qing in the mirror glance at her. She immediately sobered up, leaned against the doorway, and asked:

"You're up so early?"

"Mm."

"Are you going out now?"

"Mm."

"You're already beautiful enough, yet you're still dressing up. If you dress up any more, I'll barely be able to handle your beauty."

"..."

"Hurry up!"

Zhang Suannai scratched her head and walked back to the living room.

Only then did she discover that the little girl was also up and had already put on her clothes and shoes for going out: black cargo pants with the cuffs tucked into her boots, and an oversized t-shirt. The inexplicably cool outfit almost made Zhang Suannai think she was imitating her.

"Ha~~"

Zhang Suannai continued to yawn and sat down next to her: "Why are you going out so early? Is Taozi going with you?"

"Yes." The little girl sat on the sofa, swinging her legs in boredom.

"You're going out to mooch a meal and you're even bringing a cat..."

"I have to bring her."

"Why are you going out so early?"

"Going out to buy groceries."

"You still have to buy groceries? Are you cooking yourselves?"

"Mm."

"What is wrong with that senior sister of yours? Even if you're cooking yourselves, she shouldn't be making you go buy the groceries..." Zhang Suannai complained, "Ah, I suddenly remembered, that Mutton Soup the senior sister cooked seemed really delicious. If today's meal is also good, remember to pack a bit more to bring back."

"Big sister wants to bring back the kimchi made by brother-in-law."

"What's so good about kimchi..."

"What??"

"Bring back kimchi made by whom??"

Zhang Suannai's eyes suddenly widened.

The 6000 monthly ticket bonus chapter has been settled.
