Chapter 106: A Lip Stick

“Who are you insulting?” Bai Lianhua rushed over and grabbed Shi Chanter’s hair. They had been fighting quite a bit these past few days, and Bai Lianhua wasn’t about to back down. They clawed, bit, and threw punches, all in.
But Shi Chan’er wasn’t one to be underestimated, even in the middle of a brawl. At a time like this, she was no match for Bai Lianhua, the asthmatic heiress who knew how to throw a tantrum. In a few moves, she had Bai Lianhua pinned to the ground, delivering a resounding slap.
Not far away, Lui Xuezhou watched, thinking, “This is my chance…”
Back at the camp, Ji Zan learned about Ye Chun’s visit and his gaze turned colder. “Hmph! Once Sun Han and Xia Dong return, we’ll raid their camp immediately. Keeping someone like her around is just asking for trouble.”
Man Yu sat casually nearby and chuckled, “I have to say, Leader, she made some bold threats. She’s determined to capture you and use you as her pawn. I won’t repeat the rest of what she said; you can use your imagination. Do you think she might have some hidden tricks up her sleeve? Like a mind-controlling ability?”
Ji Zan snorted and didn’t reply, walking away.
Fu Shinan shot Man Yu a disapproving look. “Could you please be quiet for a
while?”
Man Yu put her arm around Fu Shinan and said, “I’m just speaking the truth. Even if she doesn’t have that ability, who knows if Ji Zan won’t be enchanted by a beauty? If that’s the case, we better plan ahead.” Somehow, seeing Ye Chun had made her feel uneasy…
Fu Shinan pushed her away with an exasperated look. “Let’s focus on whether Sun Han and MO Cheng can find some blankets or not. This place is cold and damp, and it’ll be tough if it starts raining.”
Man Yu sighed, “I hope they find something.” Then, she had a sudden idea, “This place is quite spacious; if we stay here for a while, it might be better to divide it into a few smaller rooms. It’s awkward for all of us to sleep together, especially with Xia Dong and his snoring. My nerves can’t take it.”
Fu Shinan chuckled, “Should I get you a memory foam mattress then?”
Man Yu didn’t hesitate, “Sure! That way, I can lie down and brainstorm ideas for my new novel: ‘Dominating CEO and the Charming Doctor’!”
Fu Shinan rolled her eyes, “You really have too much free time.”
Man Yu huffed, “This is serious business! It’s a waste not to write with such a great theme.”
Fu Shinan decided it was best to rest in silence. She just couldn’t find common ground with Man Yu, so she opted for some much-needed peace and quiet.
Man Yu followed suit, “It’s lunchtime, a perfect chance for a beauty nap. Rest while you can when there’s an opportunity! Let’s do it together.” She then closed her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.
Fu Shinan couldn’t help but wonder how she could fall asleep so easily. But she admired Man Yu for maintaining this carefree optimism even in such circumstances. What was more, beneath that seemingly foolish exterior, Man Yu was surprisingly vigilant.
In the afternoon, Sun Han and MO Cheng finally returned. They brought back over a dozen blankets, a square table, a few worn-out stools, and some canned pickles, chili oil, and other condiments. It was quite a haul.
Everyone rushed out to help carry the things inside. MO Cheng then pulled out a Rubik’s Cube as if it were a treasure and handed it to Xiao Chang’an, saying, “Do you like it?”
Xiao Chang’an, with his curly hair, smiled so wide that his eyes nearly disappeared. “Thank you, Big Brother MO Cheng. I really like it.”
“That’s great.” MO Cheng smiled and then walked over to Fu Shinan, a bit shy. “Sister Fu, I found this for you. Take a look.” With a bashful grin, he opened his hand and offered it to Fu Shinan.
Curiosity piqued, Fu Shinan accepted it and discovered a neatly packaged lipstick inside. Although she never wore lipstick, seeing MO Cheng put so much thought into it, especially at a time like this, brightened her spirits amidst the gloom. She flashed a slight smile at him. “Thank you.”
MO Cheng scratched his head, chuckling awkwardly. “N-No need to thank me. I’ll go help with the moving.”
Fu Shinan didn’t say much. In a good mood, she tucked the lipstick into her pocket. When she raised her head, she saw Ji Zan squinting his long, narrow eyes at her. His gaze felt a bit suffocating. Was he thinking she wasn’t working? She cleared her throat and said, “I’ll go help with the moving too.”
Because they had found quite a few intact condiments, everyone enjoyed a hearty meal. MO Cheng was particularly excited, “Tomorrow, I’ll go to more remote places. Maybe we can find more stuff! This time, it was a half-collapsed spice shop, but who knows, further out, we might discover even more…”
Suddenly, Ji Zan, who had been silent, raised his head, “Tomorrow, I’m going!”
