Seeing that they were all intrigued, Xia Canglan didn’t hide anything and told them everything that had happened at the hospital that day. She even glanced at her father,
“Dad, Deputy Director Rao is out of office, so you’re the only one qualified for the position now, right? If nothing unexpected happens, Dad’s salary should go up again, right?” ”
Hahaha, you’re such a clever little thing~” The whole family was amused by her.
Two days later, it was a day off.
Xia Canglan woke up naturally. When she woke up, no one was home, and there was breakfast left for her on the table.
After breakfast, Xia Canglan planned to go to the scrap yard.
At the entrance of the scrap yard, an old man with a limp was also tidying up. Hearing the noise, he stared at her with a pair of deep, dark eyes.
However, Xia Canglan wasn’t afraid. In the apocalypse, there were plenty of people who were desperate, lost their will to fight, and wanted to die. She was used to it and had long since become indifferent to such gazes.
“Grandpa, I’d like to go in and find some newspapers to paint the walls and see if I can find some textbooks?”
The limping old man nodded, lowered his head and continued tidying up, ignoring her.
Xia Canglan went in and came to the piles of paper. She searched and searched, and actually found a complete set of high school textbooks in a tucked-away corner.
She put the textbooks aside and continued searching. Then she came to a pile of wooden and porcelain items and searched around
again. She pulled out a low table, and just as she was about to throw it away, she felt that the table was too heavy. She glanced at the limping old man and saw that he had gone inside. She quickly put the table into her spatial storage and would check it later.
Several hours later, she had a pile of scrap metal and a pile of newspapers and textbooks next to her. She took these things to the old man.
“One yuan,” the limping old man said indifferently.
Just as she was about to put the packed items into her spatial storage, she suddenly turned her head slightly, her sharp eyes sweeping towards the shadowy area on her right. She turned back without making a sound and continued carrying the heavy items that felt like stacks of bricks.
As soon as she turned the corner, a pair of hands covered her mouth and nose from behind. A pungent smell of a sleeping drug filled the air, plunging her into darkness. The object in her hand fell to the ground.
“Damn it, we’ve been waiting for this woman for hours! She finally came out, we almost died from the heat!”
“Shut up, get her away quickly. Be careful, if we get caught, we’ll all be dead when we get back.”
“…I understand, I understand. But this beauty is truly stunning. No wonder Brother Ji risked everything to have us snatch her away, hehe!”
Xia Canglan, hoisted onto his shoulder, closed her eyes and subtly waved her hand, causing everything that had just fallen to vanish without a trace.
A short while later, the men stopped, threw Xia Canglan onto the bed, and then left.
Xia Canglan opened her eyes, a smile playing on her lips.
Very well, she hadn’t yet confronted Ji Duan, this man who claimed to like the original owner but acted like a lewd and disgusting person. He relied on his father being a factory manager and his mother a street worker, constantly professing affection while secretly having others bully the original owner.
In the original story, this man was also a weapon in the heroine’s hands, the final blow that crushed the original owner.
It was Ji Duan who had drugged the original owner and tried to force himself on her. He hadn’t gone that day for some reason, only sending those two thugs instead. If he hadn’t been absent, Xia Canglan would have dealt with him long ago, instead of waiting until now.
And yet—he came running.
“Bang!”
A loud door slammed shut outside.
“Smack!”
“I told you to keep your voice down, you idiot! If you wake Lanlan, you’ll ruin my plans today, I’ll chop you up!”
A gloomy male voice came from outside the door, making Xia Canglan feel disgusted. She couldn’t help but touch her hands, which were covered in goosebumps.
Damn it, she couldn’t stand it anymore. She’d beat this damned Puxin guy to death or cripple him in a minute. After beating the man, Ji Duan ignored the underlings who were bowing their heads and not daring to speak. He turned around and showed a ‘gentle smile’ before quietly pushing open the door.
“Lan~ Lan~, I’m~ here~”
He met Xia Canglan’s eyes as she opened her eyes and sat on the bed. He was even dazzled by her smile and almost couldn’t believe his eyes.
“Lan—Lan, are you…?”
Before he could finish speaking, the two underlings behind him, who had seen the scene, pushed him inside with smug looks on their faces and kindly closed the door behind them.
“Brother Ji, we won’t interfere with your good time with your wife. Don’t worry, we’ll guard the door for you outside. We guarantee not a single mouse will get in today.”
“Bang!” The door slammed shut.
Ji Duan swallowed hard. He felt strange seeing Xia Canglan’s kind expression, but he couldn’t suppress his excitement and eagerness to get down to business.
“Lanlan, I’m here.” He pounced on Xia Canglan on the bed.
“Aww~~”
The sound came from outside, making the two henchmen guarding the door exchange a knowing smile.
“Hey, listen to that, Brother Ji is moaning so loudly, it’s making my mouth water.”
“Aww~~”
“Hahaha, Brother Ji’s moans are so good, he must be screaming his lungs out, right? I feel like he’s about to do the splits.” ”
Ugh ugh ugh~~”
“Hey, wait, why does Brother Ji sound a bit like he’s about to die from those moans? Is something wrong?” The henchman was a little uncertain.
“Hey, don’t worry about it. Brother Ji is just too excited. He finally won over the woman he loves, so it’s understandable that he’s a little overwhelmed. If you go in and cause trouble, don’t blame me for not saving you.”
“That makes sense. Let’s go somewhere else then.”
Inside the house, Ji Duan really felt like he was about to die, not from pleasure, but from being beaten to death by the beautiful and delicate Xia Canglan in his heart.
Xia Canglan slapped the lunging Ji Duan away with the sole of her shoe. Before he could react, she grabbed his hair and slapped his face hard until she was tired and stopped to rest for a while.
Looking at Ji Duan, whose face was bruised and swollen from her slaps and who was coughing up blood, she let go of his hand and patted his dazed face.
“You, why do you have to be a bastard? I’d be doing you a disservice if I didn’t grant your wish after all these years of ‘hospitality’.”
“No, it wasn’t me, Lanlan…”
*Slap*
“Don’t call me that so disgustingly. If you dare call me Lanlan again, I’ll slap your face off, you believe me?” Xia Canglan narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Ji Duan trembled and shook his head frantically. “No—I won’t call you that, I won’t call you Lan, cough cough, Xia classmate…”
*Slap*
“Xia what Xia? Can’t you understand human speech? I told you not to call me by my name, are you deliberately asking for a beating?”
“Waaah, I, I won’t do it again, then what should I call you?” Ji Duan covered his face and cried.
His face really hurt. Why did he call out so many times? Were those two henchmen outside dead? Or were they not even outside?
“Who cares what you’re called? You’re so smart, don’t you know what to call me?”
“Big-Big Sister??”
*Slap slap slap*
A series of sharp slaps landed mercilessly, making Ji Duan see stars and feel dizzy.
“You really don’t know how to talk. You’re so much older than me, yet you call someone younger than you ‘Big Sister.’ Are you looking down on me? Or are you having too much fun hitting me and want to get beaten up again?”
