After hearing He Yuan's voice, Jiang Chuyan finally calmed down.
However, he still felt the weight of the iron chain on his feet, the uniquely cold aura of metal piercing his skin and penetrating deep into his bones. Even though he knew it was a chain or a buckle, the feeling of being locked up was still terrible.
Jiang Chuyan frowned and forced himself to suppress the slight uneasiness in his heart.
"Fuck, what kind of traditional custom is this? We're here to conduct research, not to be treated like animals. How can we lock people up like this—"
In the ancestral hall, only Xu Yuanzhou still looked dissatisfied.
The boy kept staring at Jiang Chuyan's ankle.
Jiang Chuyan's feet were beautiful, straight, slender, and snow-white. Even the joints at her ankles looked delicate and exquisite. In countless erotic dreams, Xu Yuanzhou imagined himself grabbing the young man's ankles and violently stretching those long legs apart, and then...
But now, some parts of Xu Yuanzhou's dark fantasy were realized before his eyes.
Yet, the pitch-black, cold iron chain bound Jiang Chuyan and He Yuan together. The thought of this made Xu Yuanzhou's brain boil, his anger flaring. Before anyone else could react, Xu Yuanzhou dashed to Jiang Chuyan's side, bent down, and yanked hard at the chain, as if he could rip it apart.
Under the great force, Jiang Chuyan was pulled to one side unexpectedly and almost fell to the ground.
"Xu Yuanzhou, what the hell is wrong with you!"
He Yuan hugged Jiang Chuyan, his expression instantly changed and he started to curse.
"Be careful—"
Of course, Xu Yuanzhou also saw the scene where Jiang Chuyan almost fell.
But he no longer cared too much.
"I was just too careless, that's why you guys..."
Locked my boyfriend in with this other bastard.
Xu Yuanzhou's face had turned purple.
The word "boyfriend" almost came out of his mouth, but the face of the outsider in his sight finally made Xu Yuanzhou calm down at the last moment.
He swallowed the last half of the sentence back into his throat with great difficulty.
His throat tightened and he felt as if he was swallowing a stone.
The people in the ancestral hall at that time included not only Jiang Chuyan and He Yuan, but also Bai Ke and Liu Tianyu, as well as so many unfamiliar Longzhao villagers. Xu Yuanzhou could not possibly reveal his sexual orientation in front of so many people.
"Jiang Chuyan is so clueless. If I don't keep an eye on you, who knows what you guys are up to?"
After a moment's silence, Xu Yuanzhou stiffly finished the last half of the sentence.
As he finished speaking, he felt that Jiang Chuyan seemed to be looking at him.
But when he looked at Jiang Chuyan again, Jiang Chuyan lowered his head, and his long eyelashes were like a small fan, hiding all the emotions in his eyes.
"This is just a ceremony. Jiang is blessed by the Dragon God. We will not harm him under any circumstances..."
Budacuocuo seemed unaware of the strange atmosphere between the few people at the moment, and was still trying hard to explain.
Next to Budacuocuo, He Yuan helped Jiang Chuyan to stand steadily. He glanced at Xu Yuanzhou, and a hint of obvious coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, if you don't do anything, Chu Yan might still be fine..."
He Yuan said coldly, then turned to Jiang Chuyan.
"Were you hurt anywhere just now?"
As he asked, He Yuan squatted down and reached out to Jiang Chuyan's ankles.
Everyone could see that Xu Yuanzhou's movements had been incredibly rough, and he hadn't paid any attention to Jiang Chuyan's ankle. And just as He Yuan had worried, Jiang Chuyan felt a slight sting in her ankle, perhaps rubbing it.
But Jiang Chuyan didn't say anything.
"fine."
He pushed He Yuan, then carefully retracted his foot to avoid being touched by the other party.
It was not until this moment that Xu Yuanzhou realized how inappropriate his previous actions were.
"Chu Yan, are you hurt? I'm sorry, I was just too impatient just now——"
"Nothing."
Jiang Chuyan suppressed his annoyance and interrupted Xu Yuanzhou. The handsome, pale young man looked at his companion expressionlessly and tried to keep his voice calm when he spoke.
"Alright. Can everyone please focus on the folk customs of Longzhao? We came here to write papers, not to argue."
Jiang Chuyan wiped his face and said lightly.
Hearing Jiang Chuyan say this, Xu Yuanzhou's lips moved. Before he could speak again, a group of villagers dressed in fancy clothes suddenly rushed to the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Each of them held a large or small pottery jar in their hands. The jar was sealed with red cloth, and the seal had been broken long ago. Therefore, as soon as they came in, the air was immediately filled with a strong aroma of wine.
They brought homemade rice wine to Jiang Chuyan and his group.
"This is a must-drink before dinner, Dragon's Liquid Wine. It's very good, the distinguished guests must try it..."
Budacuocuo placed a wine bowl that looked like a bamboo hat in front of each person and kept introducing the dishes eagerly.
"**&&%￥!"
"*&...%!"
…
As if they were very proud, the other villagers were also chattering to Jiang Chuyan in their local dialect, and then they filled Jiang Chuyan's wine bowl with the so-called dragon liquid wine.
Next came He Yuan, then Bai Ke, Xu Yuanzhou, and Liu Tianyu's wine bowls...
Seeing this, Xu Yuanzhou's face twisted slightly, but he could only sit back in his original seat silently.
Jiang Chuyan was not unaware of the stiff and unfamiliar atmosphere at the dinner table.
Xu Yuanzhou's greedy gaze, Bai Ke's half-smile, and He Yuan's burning gaze beside him all made Jiang Chuyan feel uncomfortable.
In order to divert attention, Jiang Chuyan forced a smile and picked up the wine offered to him by the villagers.
"Dragon Liquid Wine... Is this rice wine?"
He looked at the milky white wine in the bowl and asked for the sake of conversation.
"Yes, right..." Budacuocuo muttered, smiling, "It's delicious, you must try it, it's brewed by us!"
Budacuocuo's recommendation was not wrong. The villagers' rice wine did smell very good.
Even without picking up the wine bowl, you can smell the sweet aroma. The taste is rich and full, sweet and delicious. The slightly cool wine is also very smooth when it slides down your throat, just like milk.
The wine tasted so good that Jiang Chuyan couldn't help but drink several sips in one breath.
But he soon found a burning sensation in his stomach and his cheeks began to get hot.
Jiang Chuyan woke up instantly.
To be honest, Jiang Chuyan is actually not very sensitive to alcohol. The fact that he could have such a strong reaction only means that the rice wine they are drinking now is actually not low in alcohol.
The wine tastes too sweet, and the presence of alcohol is much weaker, which makes people drink it in big gulps without realizing it.
"Everyone, take it easy. This wine is quite strong."
Jiang Chuyan quickly spoke up to remind him.
As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily fell on Xu Yuanzhou. Unlike the others present, Jiang Chuyan had grown up with Xu Yuanzhou. Xu Yuanzhou was one of those people who had a very bad drinking habit.
Especially since he has always had very poor emotional control ability, after puberty, Xu Yuanzhou has caused more than one or two incidents due to drinking.
Jiang Chuyan's mood became heavy when he thought of the troubles caused by Xu Yuanzhou.
But at this moment, Xu Yuanzhou was still desperately trying to drink himself a lot of wine. When he found Jiang Chuyan looking at him, he simply threw away the wine bowl and directly poured several mouthfuls of wine into his throat from the mouth of the wine jar as if provoking him.
Finally, Xu Yuanzhou received Jiang Chuyan's instructions.
"Xu Yuanzhou, can you drink less?"
"…Oh, no."
On normal days, Xu Yuanzhou would always give Jiang Chuyan some face.
But today he really couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and there was only gloom in his eyes.
"You're going to control me over just a few sips of sweet wine?"
Xu Yuanzhou sneered and his eyes fell on He Yuan.
"Besides, isn't the guy next to you drinking too? Why don't you pay attention to him?"
After Xu Yuanzhou's reminder, Jiang Chuyan realized that He Yuanqi was also holding a wine bowl and drinking from it.
However, compared to Xu Yuanzhou, He Yuan was actually quite elegant and refined when drinking. Most importantly, Jiang Chuyan could sense that even after drinking, He Yuan's eyes remained clear. Clearly, He Yuan had a pretty good alcohol tolerance.
This alone is a world of difference between him and Xu Yuanzhou.
"Ah, well, I'll just give it a taste."
As a result, the moment he met Jiang Chuyan's gaze, He Yuan immediately put the wine bowl on the table.
"I don't want to drink anymore."
The boy deliberately lowered his voice, like a henpecked husband, and responded humbly.
"…"
Jiang Chuyan was silent for a moment.
In fact, he had no intention of stopping He Yuan from drinking, but once He Yuan opened his mouth, no matter what Jiang Chuyan said, it would seem very strange.
Her cheeks were a little red and she felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Chuyan lowered her eyes and didn't look at the tall boy who was as well-behaved and obedient as a big dog.
"You...it's okay if you drink a little."
After a while, he responded awkwardly.
"It's okay, I'll listen to you. Even though the wine here is just rice wine, it's still very strong."
This scene instantly took on a different meaning in the eyes of Xu Yuanzhou, who was already a little drunk...
"Mr. He, why do you always seem so obedient when facing Brother Chu Yan, like a henpecked husband?"
Just at this moment, Bai Ke suddenly spoke.
He tilted his head, propped his chin on his palm, looked at the two people meaningfully, and then laughed jokingly.
Xu Yuanzhou immediately clenched his fist on the table tighter.
He Yuan did not refute Bai Ke immediately, but looked at Xu Yuanzhou deeply. A faint smile appeared on the handsome face of the dark-skinned boy, and he seemed particularly calm... There was even a hint of indescribable sweetness.
"It's so great to be a henpecked man. It just means he has a wife." He Yuan seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly. "...I'm still waiting for that day."
As He Yuan was talking, he laughed and looked a little silly in an instant.
Jiang Chuyan, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be able to feel the rumbling of the boy's chest when he laughed, and her slender white fingertips curled up unconsciously.
"Okay, we're here to write a paper, not to discuss our emotional experiences."
Jiang Chuyan subconsciously interrupted He Yuan's overly ambiguous whisper.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that his tone was a little too stiff, but he still continued speaking with a stiff face.
"Just leave some of this for your wife to hear."
"Don't say such disgusting things here."
Jiang Chuyan said awkwardly.
But He Yuan immediately put away the playful expression on his face and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Ah, yes, these things are not something to joke about."
He Yuan said it obediently, and his extremely obedient look, as if he wanted to have the word "henpecked" written on his forehead, once again made Jiang Chuyan lose his words.
"you..."
"What?"
"never mind."
…
Xu Yuanzhou stared at the two men, and gulped down another large bowl of rice wine.
But this time Jiang Chuyan did not say anything to stop him.
It's really strange. The wine is obviously sweet, but the taste that comes out of the stomach is so sour that it seems to be able to completely dissolve the internal organs.
Xu Yuanzhou picked up the phone uncontrollably.
*
"Buzz—"
Jiang Chuyan felt the vibration of his phone. He opened the screen and saw the message from Xu Yuanzhou at first glance.
On the communication software, Xu Yuanzhou sent many messages in a dense manner.
[Do you know? ]
The first sentence was a bit incoherent. Jiang Chuyan looked at the phone with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Across the table, Xu Yuanzhou's pupils had shrunk very small, and his eyeballs were full of bloodshot.
Was it the alcohol, or was it jealousy, that had already made Xu Yuanzhou's brain boil, and his already poor emotional control ability was even more shattered.
[As for that African guy, he looks like that. You definitely don't like him, but he's rich. Jiang Chuyan, if you want to find someone better, just tell me earlier. Don't keep me hanging here and make me feel uncomfortable...]
[By the way, you have no idea what kind of character He Yuan is. He admitted to me personally that even if he can accept men, it's just for fun...]
[A heartless person like you is nothing more than a disposable toy in He Yuan's hands.]
Please, please don't be so naive, okay? Just because someone says some sweet words and acts a little attentive, you think they can really be sincere to you? Don't be silly.
[Jiang Chuyan, do you know that I can die for you? ]
[But what about He Yuan? What else do you think he can do besides sweet talk? ]
…
[Has he already fucked you?]
Jiang Chuyan looked at the densely packed text on the screen with no expression on his face. He had thought that he would still feel somewhat angry, after all, Xu Yuanzhou's words were almost insulting.
However, strangely, when Jiang Chuyan thought that the other person was Xu Yuanzhou, he found that he didn't even feel angry.
After all, he had already known that Xu Yuanzhou had always been like that, but he had thought he could endure it before, but now he didn't care.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chuyan couldn't help but glance at Bai Ke.
To be honest, he really didn't understand why Bai Ke kept pestering Xu Yuanzhou. As Xu Yuanzhou's soon-to-be ex-lover, Jiang Chuyan didn't think Xu Yuanzhou would be a good partner.
If not...
A gentle and sad face appeared in Jiang Chuyan's mind.
[Xiaoyan, Auntie begs you, please help me keep an eye on Zhou Zhou and don't let him continue to mess around like this, okay…]
[He'll listen to you now. I really have no other choice but to ask you.]
[Since your aunt has been busy taking care of you, please consider this as a way to repay me, Xiaoyan. Zhou Zhou is my only child, and I can only entrust him to you...]
…
Jiang Chuyan lowered his eyes to hide the darkness in his eyes.
With a slight movement of his fingertips, Jiang Chuyan typed a line of words in the dialog box.
[Calm down. If you continue like this, others might think that there's something wrong between you and me.]
Sure enough, as soon as the words were sent, Jiang Chuyan noticed that Xu Yuanzhou froze instantly.
[I have nothing to do with He Yuan, you don't have to worry.]
Jiang Chuyan sent the message, then put the phone away and stopped looking at the screen.
On the other side, Xu Yuanzhou looked at the last sentence, and his heart, which had been beating wildly in his chest, finally returned to normal.
Xu Yuanzhou knew that Jiang Chuyan had always been the most honest person.
If he said he had nothing to do with He Yuan, then there really was nothing to do with him.
…
Xu Yuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief, with only relief in his eyes. When he felt relieved, he did not notice that a pair of eyes beside him were still on him.
"Tsk."
Bai Ke watched the interaction between the two people at the table coldly, his expression particularly gloomy.
In fact, rather than saying that Bai Ke likes Xu Yuanzhou very much, it is better to say that he really hates the way Xu Yuanzhou follows Jiang Chuyan around.
A high-handed hypocrite who normally wouldn't even give Xu Yuanzhou a good face, yet the other party had been desperately trying to be Jiang Chuyan's bootlicker.
And what about himself? He had already let go of all his pride and had been trying hard to seduce Xu Yuanzhou, but in the end, the other party just treated him as a good younger brother...
When Bai Ke thought of this, she couldn't help but grind her back teeth. Glancing sideways, she happened to see Xu Yuanzhou's profile, his eyes fixed on Jiang Chuyan.
Bai Ke felt annoyed and didn't want to look anymore, so he turned his head to the other side. It was at this moment that he noticed the guy next to him who had been silent the whole time.
Liu Tianyu did not participate in the open or secret fighting at the dinner table from beginning to end, because that guy was busy picking his nose.
Yes, he was just picking his nose. When Bai Ke saw Liu Tianyu, she was shocked.
The slightly plump boy initially remembered that this was a public place, so he barely blocked it with his hand, while the other hand hid behind his palm and reached into his nostrils to scratch it continuously.
But as time passed, Liu Tianyu became completely immersed in picking his nose.
When Bai Ke looked over, Liu Tianyu's index finger was almost completely inserted into his nostrils.
Bai Ke leaned back subconsciously and screamed.
"Fuck, Liu Tianyu, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Can't you be more reserved?"
Bai Ke shouted.
But Liu Tianyu seemed completely unaware of how disgusting and uncultured his behavior was. When he heard Bai Ke's scolding, his hand was still stuck in his nostrils. When he turned around, there was even a hint of a trance smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just can't help it, my nose is so itchy."
Liu Tianyu said vaguely.
At this time, Xu Yuanzhou also noticed Liu Tianyu. His reaction was not much different from Bai Ke's, both were full of disgust.
"… Holy shit, what are you doing? This is on the dining table!"
Because he was in a bad mood, Xu Yuanzhou's voice was quite sharp.
Under the repeated condemnation of the two people, Liu Tianyu finally managed to pull his hand out of his nostrils.
He continued to mumble.
"I didn't mean to do that. My nose is just too itchy. I can't stand it anymore. It's too uncomfortable. Anyway, there's no one else here..."
The moment Liu Tianyu pulled his hand out, a stream of blood began to trickle down his nostrils, then along his chin and onto the front of his shirt. Before long, Liu Tianyu's chest was stained a patch of red.
"Fuck, Liu Tianyu, your nose is bleeding."
The scene before me was even more disgusting.
Bai Ke couldn't help but retreat again and again, and it was not until this time that Liu Tianyu seemed to have finally come to his senses.
"Ah, nosebleed."
He stretched out a finger and stared blankly.
"What's going on?"
"Liu Tianyu, are you okay?"
…
Jiang Chuyan was also frightened by Liu Tianyu's profuse nosebleed, and he quickly took out a tissue and handed it to him.
After using a whole pack of tissues, Liu Tianyu's nosebleed finally stopped, but his clothes were already covered in blood, looking messy and scary.
"You must have scratched the capillaries in your nose. It's best to apply ice."
Jiang Chuyan said with a serious expression.
"Also, you really should stop picking your nose so roughly in the future. This...is not nice anyway."
Jiang Chuyan vaguely felt that something was wrong with Liu Tianyu, but he couldn't really put his finger on what was wrong.
After all, the world is full of wonders. In university dormitories, there are even boys who pick dirt from their noses in front of their roommates. It is not a big deal for Liu Tianyu to pick his nose at the dining table.
"Oh, yes, yes, you should apply some ice. Go back quickly and change your clothes..."
Bai Ke also advised repeatedly.
But rather than saying that he cared about Liu Tianyu, it would be more accurate to say that he just wanted to get rid of this guy as soon as possible.
Liu Tianyu lowered his head and looked dully at his blood-stained clothes, his eyes somewhat empty.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Yeah, my clothes are dirty, I have to go change."
After saying that, Liu Tianyu stood up from his seat and staggered to leave.
Seeing Liu Tianyu in such a trance, Jiang Chuyan stood up worriedly and prepared to go back with Liu Tianyu.
But at this moment, Budacuocuo was shocked and quickly stopped him.
It turned out that because of their special status, He Yuan and Jiang Chuyan had to sit in their seats until the end of the long buffet, so that the Dragon God's blessing could remain in the village.
"Or let Bai Ke or Xu Yuanzhou go with them—"
As he spoke, He Yuan glanced at Bai Ke and Xu Yuanzhou. He was about to send them away, but Xu Yuanzhou spoke first.
"Old Liu isn't a primary school student anymore. He just had a nosebleed. Is there any need to follow him around?"
Xu Yuanzhou's butt seemed to be half-grown on the chair, and he kept staring at Jiang Chuyan without moving.
"Yeah, Lao Liu just had a nosebleed."
Bai Ke obviously didn't intend to show too much friendship between classmates, he said it lightly.
"But..."
Jiang Chuyan was still a little hesitant.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll be fine soon. My nose is just a little itchy. I'll rinse it with cold water when I get home."
Liu Tianyu was already standing at the door at this time. He turned around and smiled at Jiang Chuyan, and the trance he had before had long disappeared.
Finally, He Yuan yawned and shouted at Budacuocuo. Budacuocuo quickly asked a villager to go back with Liu Tianyu to change clothes.
In this way, Jiang Chuyan finally felt relieved and returned to his original position.
During the previous episode, the villagers had already brought a rich variety of dishes to the table. When Jiang Chuyan looked at Xu Yuanzhou and Bai Ke again, they were already buried in their bowls and eating.
Breakfast with special ritual significance is actually similar to a "breakfast banquet".
The dishes served were not limited to "breakfast" food. There were all kinds of cold dishes and hot dishes, refreshing ones like various wild mushrooms and wild delicacies, rich ones like bacon and spare ribs, and many special dishes that Jiang Chuyan had never seen before.
Jiang Chuyan actually had a hard time eating such a heavy meal in the morning. He had thought Xu Yuanzhou and Bai Ke would be similar, but he hadn't expected them to adapt so well. Furthermore, judging by how much they ate, the dishes must have been quite delicious.
However, Jiang Chuyan still didn't have much of an appetite - perhaps it was the red cloth covering his body that was to blame. The blood on the cloth had long since dried up, but the faint fishy smell still lingered.
In particular, the boiled chicken placed in front of Jiang Chuyan as the main course made him particularly concerned.
White-cut chicken should be made with a whole chicken, but in Longzhao, the chicken was missing the head.
The chicken that was drizzled with hot oil was a little soft, and the broken neck looked like it had been chewed by something in advance, and the cut was very mottled.
Jiang Chuyan immediately thought of the chicken that was crushed by the wheels when he came here, which was used to bring bad luck to humans.
But Budacuocuo saw Jiang Chuyan staring at the chicken and thought Jiang Chuyan wanted to eat it, so she eagerly introduced it: "...Our chicken is very tender. You only need to blanch it in hot water and you can eat it. The meat is very smooth and fresh."
The chicken was only blanched twice in hot water before being served, and when it was cut open, the inside still retained a soft and tender pink color.
Blood flowed out and formed a small pool of dark red at the bottom of the plate.
Jiang Chuyan tried hard not to think too much.
However, the image of the broken, bloody chicken kept appearing in my mind.
Jiang Chuyan didn't touch the chicken at all - but Xu Yuanzhou and Bai Ke ate it happily.
"Crunch, crunch—"
"Crack—"
…
Jiang Chuyan heard the delicate chewing sounds as they bit the chicken's joints and gnawed on the brittle bones.
His stomach started to cramp again.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
"Didn't you enjoy the breakfast we prepared for you?"
Noticing Jiang Chuyan's hesitation, Budacuocuo and He Yuan asked at the same time.
Jiang Chuyan forced a smile and shook his head.
"Ah, I just don't know what to eat."
He said perfunctorily.
But obviously, he failed to get away with it.
Budacuocuo stared at him with bulging eyes, her pupils motionless, which made Jiang Chuyan feel a little nervous.
"Budacuocuo, don't worry about me, I..."
"You are someone favored by the Dragon God."
Budacuocuo suddenly said, grinning and speaking to him word by word.
"You can't go on starving like this."
After saying that, he shouted a few words towards the door. No one knew what he said, but not long after, a small bowl of milky white soup appeared in front of Jiang Chuyan.
"Please try this. We prepared it specially for you. It's a very... **%"
Before he knew it, Budacuocuo started speaking the Longzhao local dialect again.
Jiang Chuyan listened awkwardly, but his eyes fell on He Yuan.
He Yuan smiled.
"Don't worry about it. It's a nourishing soup. It's delicious. Try it."
He said.
Jiang Chuyan couldn't delay any longer, so he just gritted his teeth and scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth.
The moment the hot and sticky soup entered his mouth, even Jiang Chuyan, who had a poor appetite, had to admit that the breakfast prepared by Longzhao Village today was indeed at the level of a master chef.
It's just an ordinary-looking bowl of soup, but it tastes exceptionally delicious.
There are some white fish balls floating on the soup, which taste slightly chewy. When you taste it carefully, you will find that it has a special taste that is fresh, tender and delicious, and melts in your mouth.
The soup was also burnt very white, and the ingredients in the soup base could not be seen clearly. Jiang Chuyan could only guess that a lot of ingredients must have been used in the soup.
Because when he was serving the soup, he could feel that there was a lot of soup at the bottom of the bowl.
"Wow, what kind of soup is this...Brother Chuyan is drinking it so happily."
Bai Ke hadn't touched the bowl of soup much at first, but when he saw Jiang Chuyan drinking it, he suddenly became interested.
Then he looked at Budacuocuo and asked with a smile, "Isn't there any discrimination? Only Chuyan can drink, but we can't, right?"
Budacuo looked at Bai Ke blankly, appearing a little flustered.
"We didn't have enough ingredients, so we only prepared one bowl. Well, this isn't discrimination, it's just..."
"Just what?"
Bai Ke was still smiling, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes.
"I'm so curious about what it tastes like. How about this, I can give you extra money and you make me a bowl too?"
"Bai Ke, it's just a bowl of soup..."
Xu Yuanzhou couldn't help but say from the side.
"Yeah, it's just a bowl of soup, what's so difficult about it?"
Budacuocuo rubbed his hands, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes looked particularly dark.
"Guest, that kind of material cannot be bought—"
"Bai Ke, there's still some in the bowl, do you want to drink?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming a little awkward, Jiang Chuyan simply interrupted Budacuocuo and pushed the soup bowl with most of the soup left in it towards Bai Ke.
He thought Bai Ke would not answer, but unexpectedly Bai Ke raised her head and smiled at Jiang Chuyan.
"Wow, Brother Chu Yan is so nice. I don't know what's wrong today, but I just really...really want to drink this."
As Bai Ke spoke, she stuck out her red tongue and licked her lips.
Jiang Chuyan looked at him and was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Bai Ke was no longer polite. He took a spoon to stir the soup and poured a lot of soup into his bowl.
It was at this time that Jiang Chuyan accidentally caught a glimpse of a small piece of meat that Bai Ke had dug out of the soup.
Jiang Chuyan froze instantly.
It was a chicken, a very small chicken.
The chicken had been cooked very soft, and the muscles had turned grayish white, loosely covering the thin grayish white skeleton.
But the chicken's head still retained its complete shape, and each of its bulging eyeballs had turned grayish white in the hot soup.
This is no ordinary chicken at all.
This is the chicken that he had knocked out of the egg before.
"Wait, wait a minute, this thing...how did this thing get here?!"
Jiang Chuyan screamed in surprise, and the soup that he had originally thought was thick and delicious began to churn in his stomach.
"Fuck, this kind of thing... can I eat it? Will it be poisonous?"
When Xu Yuanzhou saw the obviously deformed chicken, his face turned very ugly.
