Chapter 293: He Was Always Talking To That Big Box
Fu Xiaoxiao immediately raised her hands and clasped them, saying fiercely, “I refuse! Take back your blessing!”
“Okay,” Jiang Yuan cooperated, “I withdraw my blessing.”
“Great,” Fu Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction, scanned the code, and began ordering food.
The dishes were served very quickly; in less than ten minutes, the table was filled with various kinds of meat.
Old rule, take photos first.
After taking photos, Jiang Yuan reached for the clip beside her and started grilling meat.
The meat slices were placed on the grill pan, and the moment they were grilled, the grease and high heat created a “sizzling” sound.
The fragrance of the meat slowly spread through the air.
Jiang Yuan used the clip to place a grilled meat slice onto Fu Xiaoxiao’s plate, “Young Lady, eat while it’s hot.”
“Oh, thank you,” Fu Xiaoxiao exaggeratedly sent a flying kiss.
Jiang Yuan found it both funny and helpless.
After finishing her meat, Fu Xiaoxiao picked up the meat clip and said, “Beautiful Princess Yuan Yuan, it’s my turn to serve you now.”
Jiang Yuan was unsure whether to laugh or cry, “Calling me that makes me so embarrassed.”
“It’s okay,” Fu Xiaoxiao said justifiedly, “I’m not embarrassed.”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Alas, she chose her friends, so she could only indulge them.
Midway through the barbecue, a sharp scream abruptly rang out.
“Ahhh—”
Fu Xiaoxiao immediately leaned over and curiously looked around, “Why is someone screaming, what’s going on?”
A hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Yuan’s eyes, “Yes.”
Immediately after, noisy voices came.
“There’s a snake!”
“Oh my god, how scary!”
“Ahhh, I’m most afraid of snakes!”
“Help…”
Fu Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, turned her head, and looked at Jiang Yuan, “So it’s a snake.”
If it were before, hearing there was a snake, Fu Xiaoxiao would have immediately grabbed her bag and fled.
Now, she asked, “Yuan Yuan, do you want to go take a look?”
“Yes,” Jiang Yuan nodded.
The two of them walked out of the tent and saw a crowd gathered three tents away.
“Did you call the firefighters?”
“What kind of snake is this? Is it venomous?”
“So scary!”
Jiang Yuan stood on tiptoe to look and saw a slender black snake with a flattened, round head and diamond-shaped scales next to the tent’s seating area.
“Yuan Yuan, do you recognize what kind of snake it is?” Fu Xiaoxiao asked, “Is it venomous?”
Jiang Yuan said softly, “It looks like a Black-Striped Rat Snake. If it’s a Black-Striped Rat Snake, there’s no need to worry, it’s not venomous.”
The people around heard the voice and turned to look at her.
“Ahhh!”
Even sharper screams than before suddenly rang out.
Everyone was startled, thinking another snake had appeared.
“What happened, what happened?”
“Who screamed again?”
Jiang Yuan and Fu Xiaoxiao were also startled by the sudden scream.
The next second—
A girl shouted excitedly, “Jiang Yuan! I see Jiang Yuan!”
“Huh? Where is Jiang Yuan?”
“Damn, really or fake?”
“What, who is Jiang Yuan?”
Jiang Yuan was slightly taken aback; she hadn’t expected the girl to be screaming because of her.
“Jiang Yuan!” the girl waved at her excitedly, “I got to see you without waiting for the fan meeting!”
Jiang Yuan smiled at her, “What a coincidence.”
“Wuwuwu, my luck is too good!” the girl covered her mouth, moved to tears.
Many people nearby didn’t know Jiang Yuan and looked confused.
“Isn’t the important thing right now this girl?” a boy with glasses said indignantly, “Shouldn’t we first try to save my girlfriend?”
He looked at Jiang Yuan, a flicker of stunning beauty in his eyes, then accused, “My girlfriend is in danger, and you’re here to make a presence. Is that necessary?”
“Your girlfriend is in danger, and you’re not saving her but joining the fun?” Fu Xiaoxiao immediately retorted, “Is that necessary?”
The man with glasses’ facial expression changed slightly, “That’s a snake! How can I save her?”
“Then how can others save her?” Fu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, “You’re not saving your girlfriend, you’re expecting others to help you save her?”
She then said to the girl whose face was pale with fear, “It’s best to throw away trash like this early!”
“How dare you speak like that?” the man with glasses said indignantly.
Fu Xiaoxiao raised her chin, “I speak with my mouth, what? Can’t your four eyes see clearly?”
The girl targeted by the Black-Striped Rat Snake had a pale face covered in tears, and she trembled, “Save me, I’m afraid of snakes…”
Jiang Yuan was about to step forward to help when she suddenly heard the Black-Striped Rat Snake flicking its tongue and speaking.
“Why are you afraid of snakes? Snakes won’t harm you! You should be afraid of that four-eyed two-legged beast.”
Jiang Yuan’s steps paused slightly, her brow furrowed, and doubt appeared on her face.
Why would a Black-Striped Rat Snake say something like that?
Jiang Yuan walked over and sat on a stool beside the girl where her bag was placed.
Hearing the movement, the Black-Striped Rat Snake turned its head, its two black gem-like eyes looking at her.
“Oh, this two-legged beast isn’t afraid of snakes? It actually dares to approach a snake?”
Jiang Yuan curved her lips slightly, reached out her hand, and gently touched its head, “You won’t harm me, why should I be afraid of you?”
Hearing her say that, the Black-Striped Rat Snake’s eyes brightened even more, “Finally, I’ve met a two-legged beast that isn’t afraid of snakes!”
“My name is Yuan Yuan,” Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, “What’s your name?”
The Black-Striped Rat Snake said, “Snakes don’t have names.”
The girl, who had been trembling in fear, was terrified to see Jiang Yuan actually reach out to touch the snake’s head and widened her eyes in horror.
“Yiyi,” the man with glasses shouted at her, “Come over quickly while there’s time!”
Yiyi was the girl’s name. She looked up at her boyfriend and choked out, “My legs are weak…”
The Black-Striped Rat Snake snorted lightly, “Even that four-eyed two-legged beast who is scared stiff isn’t coming to get you, and you still dare to be with him? You have a big heart!”
“You seem to have a lot of opinions about that person?” Jiang Yuan asked curiously, “Can you tell me about it?”
“Of course!” Having finally met a two-legged beast she could communicate with, the Black-Striped Rat Snake saw no reason to refuse.
“The snake tells you, that four-eyed two-legged beast was seen by the snake last midnight.”
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, “Where did you see him last night?”
“Right here!” the Black-Striped Rat Snake explained, “Last midnight, no one was eating here anymore. The snake saw him carrying a big box over.”
“A big box?” Jiang Yuan was confused.
“Yes!” the Black-Striped Rat Snake whispered in her ear, “He kept talking to that big box, saying things like ‘You forced me to do this. If you were obedient, how could I possibly treat you like this?'”
Jiang Yuan’s heart tightened inexplicably, her brow furrowed, and her expression became solemn.
Her intuition told her this matter was not simple!
Jiang Yuan calmly glanced at the man with glasses, knowing this was not a place to clarify the situation.
She thought for a moment, then looked at the slightly calmer girl, “My name is Jiang Yuan. Can I get your contact information?”
Although Yiyi didn’t know why Jiang Yuan wanted her contact information, since she had saved her, she nodded, “Yes, but my phone is in the bag behind you.”
