Chapter 67: Sister Feng, Why Don’t You Just Take Me Tonight?
Wan Feng sniffled and looked up at her. “I…”
“Alright, I won’t leave you. You don’t have to be in such a hurry to explain. Just say it slowly. Why are you suddenly so insecure?”
Zhang Can’er wiped her tears and asked in a gentle voice.
Wan Feng looked at her, tightly gripping the corner of her clothes, and whispered, “I made you angry. If you’re angry, you can hit me or scold me, but you can’t hide from me and not let me touch you, and you can’t ignore me, okay?”
“Mhm, I know.” Zhang Can’er remembered that when Wan Feng was about to touch her face just now, she had dodged because she was a little sad. She hadn’t expected it to become a knot in Wan Feng’s heart.
This person, just how much does she care about me? To the point of being so careful.
Careful and sensitive.
“Sister Feng, why don’t you just take me tonight? Hmm?”
Wan Feng’s eyes widened, and she shook her head vigorously. “No, I… I’m not ready.”
“What are you afraid of? Sister Feng?” Zhang Can’er held her face and asked in a gentle voice.
“I… I’m not.” Wan Feng’s eyes darted away, clearly hiding something.
Seeing that she was unwilling to say, Zhang Can’er didn’t want to force her. She kissed the corner of Wan Feng’s lips and smiled. “I won’t force you. Let’s let nature take its course. Let’s sleep. We’re tired today.”
“Mhm.”
A dreamless night. After the two of them woke up in the morning, they went to Wang Yang’s place.
“Miss Zhang, Miss Wan, you’re here.”
“Mhm, how’s the chili sauce we made?” Zhang Can’er pulled Wan Feng to a random seat, turned her head, and asked Wang Yang.
“The chili sauce you made is really delicious. Every day, someone wants to buy a small jar to take back.”
Speaking of this, the smile on Wang Yang’s face grew even wider. He brought the breakfast to Zhang Can’er’s table and kept praising how good the chili sauce was.
“Really? Don’t fool me.” Zhang Can’er picked up a dumpling for Wan Feng and brought it to her mouth. She looked at her with a grin, while still being able to respond to Wang Yang’s words.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yang knew he was a third wheel. He put down the things and left. As he walked, he didn’t forget to reply, “I never fool people.”
Wan Feng looked at Zhang Can’er, then at the dumpling by her mouth. In the end, she was too embarrassed to open her mouth. After all, there were still quite a few people in the canteen.
“I… I’ll do it myself,” she said and was about to reach for the dumpling.
Zhang Can’er quickly dodged. “If you don’t eat it, I’ll kiss you.”
Wan Feng stared at Zhang Can’er with wide eyes, as if she were seeing her for the first time. “You… you…”
After a long while, Wan Feng couldn’t say anything.
Zhang Can’er had a proud look on her face and said with a grin, “Are you going to eat it or not?”
With that, she put the dumpling by Wan Feng’s mouth again.
After hesitating a few times, Wan Feng finally chose to eat it. Her ear tips instantly turned bright red, and then the blush spread all over her body. She suddenly felt that it was very hot here.
Zhang Can’er happily fed her. Wan Feng took a bite, and she took a bite. The two of them finished their breakfast in this lovey-dovey way.
Until they left the canteen, Wan Feng’s face was still flushed.
Zhang Can’er hadn’t expected to have such a shy girlfriend, especially since her girlfriend was an assassin. Who would believe it if she told them?
The two of them walked together to the small warehouse of the kitchen. Because Zhang Can’er had called ahead through the earpiece in the morning, she didn’t cause any panic among the others.
By the time the two of them arrived, Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan had already had their breakfast.
So Zhang Can’er directly took them to Zhang Tu’s house.
When they arrived, Zhang Tu and Zhang Wan were having breakfast.
“Xiao Can, Xiao Feng, why are you here? Have you eaten? Come and have some?”
Zhang Tu greeted them warmly, the smile on her face never leaving.
But Zhang Wan just nodded at the two of them and continued to eat.
“We’ve eaten. We’re here to see Sister Tu about something. You eat first. We’ll just sit outside and wait for a while.”
“How can you do that? A’Wan, go and make some tea.”
Zhang Wan put down her bowl and chopsticks and obediently got up to make tea.
Zhang Tu brought them to the reception room. She had actually seen the two people behind Zhang Can’er at a glance, but since Zhang Can’er didn’t say anything, she didn’t ask.
After Zhang Wan had placed the tea, she quietly sat down beside Zhang Tu.
Zhang Can’er turned to look at the two standing people and waved. After the two of them came over, Zhang Can’er briefly explained the situation she had learned about last night.
The more Zhang Tu listened, the deeper her brow furrowed. She took a sip of tea and then said, “I didn’t expect District Two to be like this. When City Lord Shen and I went to inspect before, we didn’t find any problems at all. Those people are really good at putting on a show. And there’s a very important point. District One and District Three of the farm send a batch of grain over every month. If the survivors below have no grain to eat, then where did the grain go?”
“That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Logically speaking, although District Two doesn’t have much land, the grain output is not low, enough for the survivors to maintain their lives. But for survivors like Xiao Ke and Xiao Zhuang to appear, it’s very wrong,” Zhang Can’er said worriedly.
Zhang Tu nodded. “We know about this matter. I will report it to the City Lord. As for these two young ladies, Xiao Can, what do you plan to do?”
Zhang Can’er lowered her head in thought for a while and said, “District Three is already full now, and there are no houses for them to live in. They definitely can’t go back to District Two. I think it’s better to send them to District B. Isn’t District B in need of manpower right now?”
Zhang Tu nodded. “Indeed, District B is currently recruiting laborers. I wonder if the two young ladies are willing to go?”
Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan didn’t hesitate at all and quickly nodded.
Zhang Tu smiled. “Then good. I will handle it as soon as possible. It should be done by noon. Please rest here for a while.”
After the matter was settled, Zhang Can’er took Wan Feng and left.
But when they reached the courtyard gate, Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan suddenly ran out, shouting “wait.”
Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng turned around and waited for the two to run up to them.
Without a word, Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan knelt down and kowtowed to them. “Thank you for saving our lives. If it weren’t for you, we don’t know where we would be hiding now. Maybe… maybe we would have been beaten to death long ago.”
Ke Yajun said with a sob, tears streaming down her face.
Zhuang Jiayuan beside her was not much better off.
Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng quickly helped the two of them up and said with a frown, “Who thanks people like this? We can’t accept this kowtow.”
Ke Yajun wiped her tears with her sleeve and said while crying, “We… we have no way to repay you. We can only… only use this… method.”
“Alright, it’s good enough that you remember my kindness. Live a good life in the future.”
With that, Zhang Can’er pulled Wan Feng and left.
After returning home, Zhang Can’er immediately took out the Fire Chilies from the Spirit Field Space and then packed them with Wan Feng.
She had tasted her own chili sauce. The taste was indeed good. Although the Fire Chili was very spicy when used, the spiciness when eaten was moderate. It was a bit spicy, but not so spicy that it was inedible.
And the taste was very good. It was sold out as soon as it started selling, which made Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng urgently make some more. In the end, they felt it was too tiring, so they cooperated with Wang Yang. After teaching him the production process, Zhang Can’er became a hands-off boss, only needing to supply the goods.
