Chapter 142: Once The White Pill Is Eaten, You Won’t Move
The next day, Jiang Yuan returned to the police station and found Qiu Qiu, the missing friend of Little Sparrow Coco.
Upon learning that Coco had sought help from humans to save herself, Qiu Qiu was deeply moved.
Therefore, after being released by the police, Qiu Qiu immediately went to find Coco and told it that from now on, she would be responsible for catching insects for it to eat.
“Thank you!” Little Sparrow Coco said gratefully, adding tactfully, “But the sparrow has a place to eat now, so there’s no need to catch insects for the sparrow.”
“Where?” Qiu Qiu asked curiously.
“At Yuan Yuan’s home,” Little Sparrow Coco said proudly. “Yuan Yuan’s balcony always has food ready, which is much tastier than insects.”
“That’s great!” Qiu Qiu exclaimed enviously. “I’d like to get to know Yuan Yuan’s home too.”
Jiang Yuan was unaware of all this.
She was driving when she suddenly received a system notification.
【System 009: Congratulations on completing the LV2 Hidden Mission “Rescue Wild Animals.” Rewards obtained: Turtle Dictionary, 100 points, and one million cash.】
Jiang Yuan’s heart filled with joy, and the corners of her lips turned up high.
While at a red light, she picked up her phone to contact Fu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Shuyu, inviting them for a late-night snack that evening.
After receiving replies from both of them, Jiang Yuan began to ponder what to take her family to eat.
Zhan Zhan and Momo seemed to like eating sushi.
After a moment of hesitation, she turned the steering wheel and drove in another direction.
Jiang Yuan went to a delicious sushi restaurant to get takeaway sushi.
Midway, she called Deng Rui and asked her not to cook dinner that night.
Jiang Yuan returned home with two large bags of sushi. Zhan Zhan and Momo were already playing with toys in the living room.
“Auntie!”
“Auntie, you’re back~”
The two little ones greeted her obediently.
“I’m back,” Jiang Yuan said, waving the takeaway bags in her hand. “Guess what’s for dinner?”
Zhan Zhan and Momo stared at the bags with their dark, shiny eyes.
Momo’s eyes lit up, and with a childish, milky voice, she exclaimed in surprise, “Sushi!”
“Smart!” Jiang Yuan curved her lips. “Are you happy?”
Momo put down her toys and rushed to her, softly saying, “Happy!”
Jiang Yuan placed the takeaway bags on the coffee table and reached out to ruffle Momo’s little head. “It’s good that you’re happy.”
Zhan Zhan pursed his lips, feeling too shy to rush towards his aunt like his sister.
“Are you happy, Zhan Zhan?” Jiang Yuan asked softly.
Zhan Zhan slowly nodded, “Happy.”
Jiang Yuan also patted his little head. “Then eat a lot.”
“Understood, Auntie,” Zhan Zhan solemnly agreed, his dark, bright eyes gazing at her, his mood incredibly pleasant.
After eating sushi, Jiang Yuan spent half an hour chatting with the furry children in the living room. Then, she got up, changed her clothes, and went out.
They had arranged to meet at a quiet bar.
Fu Xiaoxiao hooked her arm around Jiang Yuan’s shoulder and asked with a smile, “Yuan Yuan, do you have some good news today?”
“Yes,” Jiang Yuan nodded. “I won the lottery.”
“Wow! You have great luck!” Fu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise. “Then I won’t be polite today!”
Jiang Yuan waved her big hand generously, “Eat whatever you want, don’t be polite.”
After speaking, she took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhou Shuyu: 【Shuyu, where are you?】
“Shuyu is late,” Fu Xiaoxiao said, cracking open a pistachio. “We’ll make her take three drinks as a penalty later.”
Jiang Yuan slightly raised an eyebrow. “What if Shuyu gets drunk?”
“If she gets drunk, we’ll take her home,” Fu Xiaoxiao giggled. “She’ll sleep with me tonight.”
“Sure,” Zhou Shuyu’s voice rang out from behind them. “The three of us can sleep together.”
Fu Xiaoxiao was startled by her and patted her chest, chiding, “Why were you walking so quietly?”
“I was making noise, but it’s too loud here,” Zhou Shuyu explained with a smile. “I ran into a friend just now and stopped to chat with her for a bit. Is it three drinks as a penalty?”
As she spoke, she picked up the wine bottle and started pouring.
Fu Xiaoxiao watched her finish one glass and pour another, then quickly reached out to stop her. “It was just a joke, one drink is enough. This wine is expensive, you should savor it.”
“Are you reluctant to let me drink, or reluctant to part with the wine?” Zhou Shuyu raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Fu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at her. “Of course, I’m reluctant to part with the wine.”
Jiang Yuan quietly watched their interaction, a faint smile always on her lips.
After a while, the resident singer stopped for a break, and a piece of soothing light music began to play.
Jiang Yuan was casually eating pistachios when she suddenly heard a strange conversation.
“Look at that male human with blue hair, why is he throwing a white pill into his cup?”
“I know! If you eat that white pill, you won’t be able to move! Yesterday I saw another male human drop this kind of white pill into a female human’s cup, and then that female human became like dead, completely still!”
“That’s poison! How scary!”
“If mosquitoes ate that, wouldn’t they die on the spot?”
“Who knows! Some humans are really chaotic!”
Were mosquitoes talking?
Jiang Yuan’s gaze flickered slightly, and she slowly turned her head towards the source of the voices.
A few mosquitoes were perched on a flower vase on an empty table, chatting.
“Wait for me a moment,” Jiang Yuan called out, then tread lightly as she walked over, trying to speak at a volume that wouldn’t scare the mosquitoes away. “Hello, everyone. Can I chat with you?”
“Ah! A human!”
“Danger, hide quickly!”
“…”
The mosquitoes cried out in panic and each hid.
Jiang Yuan watched the vanished mosquitoes and sighed helplessly.
She sat on a stool, her bright eyes slightly narrowed, calmly surveying the people around her.
Just now, she had heard the mosquitoes mention the male human with blue hair.
After searching her surroundings, Jiang Yuan’s gaze fell upon a booth in the corner.
There was indeed a man with blue hair sitting there.
A girl was sitting beside him, and Jiang Yuan inexplicably found her somewhat familiar.
As if sensing her gaze, the girl’s eyes also turned towards her.
Jiang Yuan saw a look of surprise appear on her face, but it quickly turned into pleasant surprise.
The girl said something to the man with blue hair, then stood up and walked towards her.
Jiang Yuan watched as the girl sat down opposite her, her tone sounding familiar. “Jiang Yuan, long time no see.”
Her long, beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion appeared on her face. “Do I know you?”
“You forgot me?” A flicker of disappointment crossed the girl’s face, her eyes seeming a bit resentful. “I’m Zhou Yawei.”
“Zhou Yawei?” That name sounded familiar.
After carefully recalling, Jiang Yuan remembered, “You’re Xie Yuchen’s girlfriend.”
“Wrong,” Zhou Yawei corrected. “I’m a certain ex-girlfriend.”
“Yes,” Jiang Yuan stuck out her tongue. “Sorry, I misspoke just now.”
“It’s okay,” Zhou Yawei said with a smile. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Glancing at the blue-haired man’s sinister gaze from the corner of her eye, Jiang Yuan softly asked, “Zhou Yawei, is that man with the blue hair your friend?”
Zhou Yawei pouted. “He’s a friend of my best friend’s boyfriend; I don’t know him well.”
