Jiang Lan squatted in the alley like a gloomy and damp mushroom, thinking over and over again about the scene he had just run into. The more he thought about it, the more he wished time could be rewound so that he could do it all over again!
He raised his arm and smelled his body. There was still a faint smell of blood. The blood of Suanyu was so fishy that he could still smell it till now.
He was so close to Ying Qiao just now, could Ying Qiao have smelled it as well?
Besides, he had just fought with Suanyu, so his body must be covered with dust, and maybe even his scales had lost their luster.
All in all, the image was too bad!
Jiang Lan was very anxious, feeling that the day when he could finally come clean and take his boyfriend back to Dragon Palace to show off to his brothers was probably a long way off.
Why was he so unlucky?
After venting his emotions in the alley for a while, Jiang Lan managed to calm down a little. He had to hurry back to wash off the smell on his body before Ying Qiao returned home, and then find an opportunity to indirectly test Ying Qiao’s thoughts.
He still held on to good wishes in his heart – Ying Qiao hadn’t said anything just now, maybe Ying Qiao was as stunned as he was and didn’t notice these small details at all!
Jiang Lan took a taxi home and sent a message to Jiang Chi. After confirming that Ying Qiao had not returned home, he calmly took out the key to open the door, preparing to take a shower, wash clothes, and destroy the evidence.
As long as he didn’t get exposed, he could still be a handsome, charming and cute boyfriend!
Not fierce at all!
As soon as he opened the door, he found that the living room was very lively. In addition to the three little guys, there was also a young man who looked familiar.
Four people were sitting around the coffee table, playing cards, having gotten them from somewhere.
When the kids saw Jiang Lan coming back, they immediately called for help.
Jiang Lan looked at the familiar young man and asked, “Who are you?”
The young man stood up and greeted him politely: “Hello, I am Ying Qiao’s colleague. We met last time. He is working overtime today and was worried that no one would take care of the cubs at home, so he asked me to take care of them. Since you are back, I will not disturb you anymore.”
Jiang Lan remembered that he had indeed seen him, and it was this man who helped look after the Suan Ni and Jiao Tu last time as well.
He thus thanked the other person and politely saw him out.
When Jiang Lan came back, he saw Suan Ni and Jiao Tu looking at him eagerly: “We are short of one, do you want to come together?”
Jiang Lan was eager to destroy the evidence, so he ruthlessly rejected his brother’s request: “No, I’m going to take a shower, and you three can play Landlord.”
After saying that, he hurried to take a shower.
….
Chen Hua stared at the Suanyu on the ground.
His expression was a little confused: “He gave it to us? I thought we would have to fight.”
He smacked his lips and said matter-of-factly, “I didn’t expect that Taotie, who looks quite fierce, is actually reasonable.”
It’s just a little scary when he just glares without making any sound.
Chen Hua talked to himself for a while and finally realized that Ying Qiao had been silent. He then turned his head and saw Ying Qiao frowning and wiping the blood spots on his clothes with a handkerchief with an unhappy look on his face. His face was so gloomy that it looked murderous.
The blood spot was probably splashed there by Taotie when he threw Suanyu over.
Chen Hua wisely shut his mouth, secretly thanking his lucky stars that Taotie retreated quickly, otherwise, with Ying Qiao’s narrow-mindedness, a fight would probably have broken out.
He then picked up Suanyu and said, “First take Suanyu to the police station, and then let someone solve the problem in the community.”
At present, it was unknown how long Suanyu had been here, and how many residents in the community it had harmed. Anyway, now that the culprit was dead, the influence it exerted before would no longer continue, so the bureau could just send more people to investigate.
Who knew that Ying Qiao immediately took a step back in disgust: “Ask the bureau to send someone to pick you up. I’m going back first.”
They had driven Ying Qiao’s car to the community today. In order to establish his image, he had always driven the black Honda, and it had become a habit now. He didn’t want to get his car dirty.
The trunk wouldn’t work either.
Chen Hua: ???
Old Dogecoin, don’t you feel guilty?
However, Ying Qiao immediately told him with facts that it would not happen.
Chen Hua just watched Ying Qiao turn around and leave.
He cursed Ying Qiao a hundred and eighty times in his heart. When he lowered his head, he saw Suanyu on the ground staring at him with its remaining four eyes, its eyeballs rolling around. He was so angry that he kicked it: “What are you looking at? Don’t have any bad ideas. Even if I can’t deal with Ying Qiao, that dog coin, can’t I deal with you?”
Suanyu: ….
When Ying Qiao arrived at the community, it was almost eleven o’clock.
He looked at the WeChat messages and found that Jiang Lan had not sent him any messages during this period. He wondered if he was still having dinner and drinking and had thus not returned home.
Thinking this in his mind, Ying Qiao took the elevator upstairs.
As a result, after getting out of the elevator and before reaching the door, he heard a noise coming from the house.
When he opened the door and went in, he saw three children playing Landlord in the living room. The losers had notes stuck on his face. Jiao Tu’s face was covered with notes, and Suan Ni even had notes stuck on his body. Before Ying Qiao came in, Suan Ni was throwing a tantrum and saying he didn’t want to play anymore and was asking for a midnight snack.
Only when he saw Ying Qiao coming in did Suan Ni stop walking away and eagerly invited Ying Qiao to join the card game.
Ying Qiao’s mouth twitched, he rejected the invitation and asked, “Is Jiang Lan not back yet?”
Jiao Tu said, “On the balcony.”
When Ying Qiao looked over, he saw Jiang Lan wearing a bathrobe and slippers, hanging clothes on the balcony to dry.
“Why are you doing laundry so late?”
Jiang Lan, who had his back to him, was startled and almost jumped up: “The wine from the party was spilled on my clothes.”
It was just a casual question, so Ying Qiao didn’t delve into it. He nodded and said, “Then I’ll go take a shower first.”
Seeing him turn around and go to the bathroom, Jiang Lan leaned on the balcony glass door and watched for a while with a guilty conscience before finally letting go of his worry.
After hanging the clothes, Jiang Lan went to the living room when Suan Ni came running over and grabbed his calf. There were still some pieces of paper stuck on his fur, which made him look particularly funny.
Jiang Lan couldn’t help but take out his cell phone: “What for?”
Suan Ni hugged his legs and looked up, saying coquettishly: “We want to have a midnight snack.”
Jiang Lan’s mouth twitched, and he lifted his leg and shook him upside down: “If you eat more, not only will you lose your waist, but you will also lose your neck.”
And he just ate a lot of snacks while playing cards! The packaging bags filled up the trash can.
Suan Ni was not convinced, so he half stood up and grabbed his belly to prove that he was not fat: “It’s just puffy fat! Look, it’s all hair.”
“And I’m not the only one eating it.” He was filled with righteous indignation and didn’t notice at all that Jiang Lan was taking a picture of him with his cell phone.
Jiang Lan put away his phone and compromised reluctantly because his brother was so cute: “Then I’ll order a roast chicken. You can’t eat too much.”
Suan Ni made a solemn promise.
Jiang Lan ordered four roast chickens. The night delivery was very fast, and by the time Ying Qiao came out of the shower, the takeaway had already arrived.
Three shiny roasted chickens were placed in a takeout box, and Jiang Lan was cutting them with a knife. Seeing him coming over, he called out, “Come for a midnight snack.”
As he looked at the roast chicken, he couldn’t help but think of the Suanyu he hadn’t finished, and he licked his lips subconsciously.
Ying Qiao was not very interested in roasted chicken. When he saw roasted chicken, he thought of Suanyu, and then thought of the Taotie who had splashed blood all over him. Then he thought that Jiang Lan actually liked that rude, impolite and unhygienic monster, and he felt pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
It hurt so much.
Why!!!
He stared at Jiang Lan, totally unable to understand why he liked Taotie.
Apart from the fact that the black spots were bigger and stronger, there was nothing attractive about it. Its scales were dull and lusterless, the hair on its tail was dirty, its mouth was still so big, and its red eyes looked very fierce. It was completely incomparable to him.
What’s more, Taotie ate raw meat!
What era was this? There were still monsters that ate raw meat! Look at the mess on the rooftop. He didn’t even pluck the hair. He was simply eating raw meat and drinking blood!
Most likely he won’t even brush his teeth after going back.
As soon as Ying Qiao imagined that scene, he felt that the whole dragon was disgusted.
So he felt even more suffocated.
He looked at the little monster happily eating chicken, pointed at a piece of roasted chicken and said, “This piece still has blood in it. Raw meat cannot be eaten. It’s unhygienic.”
“???”
Jiang Lan’s heart skipped a beat and he suddenly felt guilty, suspecting that Ying Qiao was hinting at him.
He glanced at the grilled chicken that was ordered but couldn’t see any blood anywhere. “Isn’t it all cooked?”
“Oh, I was wrong.” Ying Qiao deliberately took advantage of the situation and dropped a bombshell in a calm tone: “I was working overtime today and went out on a field trip with my boss, and I ran into Taotie.”
“!!!”
Jiang Lan, including Suan Ni and Jiao Tu, all turned their heads to stare at him.
Jiang Lan became even more nervous, his heart pounding. He blinked at Ying Qiao and asked tentatively, “Did you meet Taotie? What do you think of him?”
Perhaps because his eyes were too expectant, Ying Qiao held back the diss that was about to come out of his mouth and replaced it with a more euphemistic statement: “We went to catch Suanyu and happened to run into Taotie there. He… ate all four wings and three legs of Suanyu.”
Jiang Lan didn’t dare to speak, and echoed guiltily: “Oh oh oh, then what?”
Then Ying Qiao continued, “It was eaten raw. The feathers and blood on the rooftop were all over the place. It was so unhygienic. The blood even splashed onto my clothes.”
Jiang Lan: …
He tried hard to recall, did he get feathers and blood everywhere?
It shouldn’t be…right?
He had just spat out a few feathers!
And when did he splash blood on Ying Qiao?
He was madly refuting in his heart, but on the surface he was too scared to speak, and could only vaguely express that he understood: “Yeah, yeah.”
Suan Ni and Jiao Tu looked at Ying Qiao and then at their fifth brother in shock and dullness. The roasted chicken in their mouths no longer tasted delicious.
The scene was very awkward for a while. Jiang Lan lowered his head and rolled his eyes around, trying to change the subject: “We are not eating raw food. The roast chicken will turn cold. Let’s eat it quickly.”
Unfortunately, Ying Qiao did not want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He spared no effort to continue to slander Taotie: “I just happened to meet you and want to tell you about it. Sometimes these big monsters are said to be magical, but in fact they are all beautified. The same is true for Taotie.”
“Seeing is believing. When you really see him, you will find that Taotie is not as majestic as you imagined. Even in modern society, he still lives a primitive life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.”
Ying Qiao said, “I’m telling you this not to blacken Taotie, but to give you a heads-up in advance, in case you find out one day that he not only eats raw meat, but doesn’t even brush his teeth after eating, which would be a huge blow to you.”
“???”
Jiang Lan’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he wanted to refute him loudly: You even said you are not blackening Taotie! When did I not brush my teeth after eating?!
This was a rumor!!!
