Chapter 46: Let him try West Lake Vinegar Fish and he’ll behave
“I’ll try to pick up more part-time jobs to support you,” Su Qian said, putting on a pitiful act.
Lu Yao swept his gaze around the house and did not buy it. “If you can afford a place this big, your income can’t be low. Supporting me shouldn’t be difficult.”
Lu Yao was not easy to fool. A three-story luxury villa, plus front and back yards—this did not look like someone short on money.
Her pity act failed.
Su Qian sighed.
She stepped forward, led Lu Yao to the room next door, and said, “You’ll stay here from now on.”
Lu Yao glanced at the room, then at Su Qian. His eyes looked a little complicated. “Why are the bedsheets pink?”
“Huh? You don’t like pink?” Su Qian asked, pretending to be surprised.
“Am I supposed to like it?” Lu Yao asked back.
“Isn’t it pretty?”
Su Qian’s big eyes sparkled as she tilted her head at him.
Lu Yao hesitated, then said slowly, “This color is a bit… too flamboyant.”
Seeing how serious he looked, Su Qian found him kind of cute.
“So you don’t like pink…” she muttered. Then she smiled. “That’s fine. I also have bright red, deep purple, neon yellow…”
Hearing those colors, Lu Yao’s brows knit even tighter. He looked at Su Qian helplessly.
Was this woman teasing him?
“Haha, I’m just kidding,” Su Qian said, stopping while she was ahead. “How about you make do for now, and tomorrow I’ll buy you a new set?”
Lu Yao nodded slightly. “Okay.”
After settling Lu Yao in, Su Qian started to feel sleepy too.
She yawned. “Alright. Rest early. I’m going back to sleep.”
Back in her own room, Su Qian lay in bed and opened the Chat Group.
The Chat Group showed 99+ messages, and several of them even @-mentioned her.
Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “[Excited] Su Qian darling, I love you to death! Those little things you sent over are so fun!”
Su Qian, who had just come online: “…”
Saying that in the middle of the night—was that really appropriate?
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “I knew it. I really shouldn’t have been lurking at this hour!”
Su Qian replied helplessly to Shen Meng Qi, “As long as you like them…”
Shen Meng Qi got even more excited after receiving a response. “Good stuff is meant to be shared. Let me tell you how it feels—”
“Don’t!” Su Qian cut her off.
She quickly sent another message: “It’s late. Let’s talk about something else.”
Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “[Confused] Why won’t you let me say it? Are you shy?”
“I’m not!” Su Qian hurried to deny it in the group.
Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “[Sigh] If none of you are interested, then forget it.”
Far away in the Apocalypse, Jiang Xiao Yu panicked. “Don’t! If they can’t appreciate it, I can. Meng Qi, tell me!”
Lin Yue could not take it anymore. “[Eye roll] If you have to, you two should just private message.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “I’d love to, but we can’t add each other as friends.”
In the Chat Group, only Su Qian had not transmigrated, so only she could private message everyone.
None of the others could add each other as friends.
Jiang Xiao Yu @-mentioned Lin Yue. “So how are things with that Cold-Faced Prince? Did you two sleep together yet?”
Jiang Xiao Yu’s gossiping heart burned hot.
Su Qian lurked in the chat with a nosy-auntie grin.
Everyone loved gossip.
As long as she was not the target, being a drama-watching spectator was pretty fun.
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “[Curious] So the box I sent you last time—did you end up using it or not?”
With Jiang Xiao Yu and Su Qian asking like that, Lin Yue, far away in the prince’s manor, instantly turned red.
She paused for a long time before replying: “Stop talking nonsense. That didn’t happen.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “[Mischievous grin] Oh? You’re shy. Come on, tell us. How far have you gotten?”
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “[Gritting teeth] It really didn’t happen! By the way, Qian Qian girl, how’s life on the first day of living together?”
Su Qian had been grinning, but she immediately pulled it back.
Wait. I was just eating popcorn. How did I become the popcorn now?
With Lin Yue asking that, the drama-watchers in the group immediately turned their attention to Su Qian.
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Yeah, Sister Qian Qian, my master didn’t act weird, did he?”
Xia Meng Meng, who had been silently lurking, finally came online too.
Su Qian looked at the nonstop flashing messages, thought for a moment, and replied, “Weird? I guess you could say yes.”
That one line instantly set the Chat Group on fire.
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “[Shocked] What weird thing? Tell us!”
Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Did he go into beast mode and do something to you?”
Su Qian’s mouth twitched.
Shen Meng Qi really could not go three sentences without turning it dirty.
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “Does ‘weirdly good at eating’ count?”
Jiang Xiao Yu lost interest. “[Speechless] That’s it? I thought something big happened.”
Xia Meng Meng looked blank. “Weirdly good at eating? I couldn’t tell. So my master is a foodie.”
Shen Meng Qi sighed. “Sure enough, Earth food can tempt even a divine dragon.”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Let him try West Lake Vinegar Fish and he’ll behave.”
“You really are your master’s good disciple.”
Off-screen, Su Qian’s vision went black.
By the time Su Qian left the chat, it was already very late.
She was so sleepy her eyelids could barely stay open.
She fell asleep the second she closed her eyes.
While Su Qian slept soundly, Lu Yao turned over, got up, and walked to the backyard.
Moonlight spilled across the yard. A light breeze stirred his hair.
“This world has no spiritual energy, but the environment back here is different from everywhere else,” Lu Yao murmured.
He did not know that the entire backyard environment had been exchanged by Su Qian through the Chat Group with a transmigrator from Beast World.
He found a spot, sat down cross-legged, and began resting with his eyes closed.
With this unique environment, plus spirit herbs and spirit plants, his injuries would heal faster.
After who knew how long, a pale light rose at the edge of the sky.
Only then did Lu Yao stand, return to the house without a sound, and stop outside Su Qian’s bedroom door.
He listened quietly to her steady breathing from inside.
After a moment, he returned to his own room, lay back down, and closed his eyes, as if nothing had happened.
Early the next morning, Su Qian woke up slowly.
Still half-asleep, she wandered into the living room and saw Lu Yao already up, heading toward the backyard.
“Hey? Where are you going?” Su Qian snapped awake.
Ning Meng was still in the yard. If it saw Lu Yao, the little one would be scared out of its mind!
“I’m going to take a walk in the backyard. What’s wrong?” Lu Yao asked, turning back with a puzzled look.
Su Qian suddenly remembered the spirit herbs and spirit plants in the backyard, along with the koi from the cultivation realm and the spirit beast eggs.
If Lu Yao discovered them, would it speed up his memory recovery?
Su Qian’s heart thumped hard, but she forced her face to stay calm.
She gave a dry laugh. “N-no, nothing. It’s just a bit messy out there. I’ll clean it up first.”
As she spoke, she tried to hurry into the backyard ahead of him.
“You seem nervous,” Lu Yao said with a faint smile, as if he already knew.
Su Qian paused. “Am I? Haha. Maybe I’m just still groggy from waking up.”
