Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 741: Mutual Suspicion

    

Mu Mianmian went out again against the wind, buying some daily necessities and out-of-season clothes. It took her half a day. When she returned home with her long hair tousled, she put all the supplies into the space, then took a hammer to smash the doorknob and made a video call to Dong Zicheng.

As soon as Dong Zijing saw that it was Mu Mianmian's call, he frowned and answered it. From the video, he saw Mu Mianmian crying with tears streaming down her face. Her voice trembled with sobs:

"Ziqing, what should we do My house was robbed!"

"Mianmian, don't cry, tell me slowly first"

Dong Ziqing immediately said.

"Ziqing, I went out again today to buy some everyday necessities. When I came back, I found the front door had been forced open. Look!"

After finishing, he pointed the camera at the doorknob.

Dong Zicheng looked at the forcibly broken door lock, his brows furrowed. He quickly asked:

So, what about the things we bought yesterday

"Everything's gone! I've already called the police!"

Mu Mianmian said as she turned the video camera into her room. Sure enough, the room was in disarray, everything that could be taken had been taken, and only a few rolls of toilet paper were left on the ground.

"Zi Qing, didn't someone see us buying so many things yesterday and now they're targeting me I should have stopped you from leaving yesterday. With all that food we bought, I've spent all my savings. Now I only have a little bit of food we just bought, enough to last me for a week. What are we going to do"

Mu Mianmian continued to sob.

"It was my fault. If I had known better, I wouldn't have worried so much and stayed with you."

Dong Ziqing also felt sorry, after all, with so many things, if they saved some and ate less, they could at least last for two months.

"It's not your fault, you respect me. Now what"

Mu Mianmian asked again.

"Why don't you wait and see what the police say first I'll buy some more food here. If it really doesn't work out, you can come to my place. Though, it's very windy now, and I wouldn't feel comfortable with you coming alone."

Dong Ziqing said in a false and insincere way.

"I understand. I'll wait for the police to arrive and talk then. If it's really not possible, I'll just stay at home for a couple of days and see what happens before making any further plans."

"Okay, you gave me the pendant yesterday, did you dream again"

Dong Ziqing suddenly asked.

"No, I didn't dream last night. What about you What did you dream about"

"I dreamt of nothing."

Dong Ziqing said with a dejected air.

"Ziqing, try dripping a drop of blood and see."

Mu Mianmian immediately came up with an idea.

Has your blood been absorbed

"No, but I sleep holding the pendant. Wouldn't you like to try again"

"Okay, I'll try again."

After Dong Ziqing finished speaking, the two ended the video call.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Mianmian immediately changed her expression. She packed everything she could into a space in the entire room and locked the door before heading straight to the twelfth floor of the building. There was an empty house there that they had moved into after the heavy rain flooded her floor.

Now she has preemptively taken the whole room, waiting to unite with the powerful people on this floor later. At the very least, she won't be as miserable as the original owner was.

Mu Mianmian entered the finished house with ease after inputting the door lock password. Looking at the over 100-square-meter room, she took out all the furniture and cooked a delicious meal to reward herself. Then she started downloading TV dramas and entertainment programs to have some fun, and filled up all her power banks by the way.

As for what Mu Mianmian did, Lianyi didn't care. After all, the goods she hoarded now would eventually belong to the original body anyway. After coaxing Jia Yao to sleep, Lianyi began reading. The original body studied clinical medicine, which was a general practice, so she touched on everything. Although she was in her third year, there were still many courses left to learn.

As the sun set, marking the end of another day, Yuan Chongming rushed back. This time, he carried a large backpack and two suitcases in his hands, apparently trying to balance his load. He first went home to put down his belongings before going to pick up Jia Yao.

"Where have you been all this time"

After the ripples opened the door, he asked.

"I'm sorry, but I took a little while to get you that self-defense weapon."

Yuan Chongming speaks the truth.

The ripples skimmed his empty hand, saying "So, where's your weapon"

"Let me take Jiayao first, then you go to my place and pick out something suitable."

Yuan Chongming calmly said.

"Jia Yao is still sleeping, don't wake him up yet. He'll wake up when I finish cooking. I'm going to pick out some weapons first."

Ripple smiled sweetly.

"Great!"

Yuan Chongming made no refusal, anyway, the nephew couldn't run.

The ripples entered the opposite house and found that the house was decorated very warmly, with traces of a family of three living everywhere.

"What do you need to see"

Yuan Chongming opened a handbag, inside were some sticks and knives, as well as a baton, all of which were prohibited weapons.

Ripples picked up a police baton and swung it around a couple of times. She felt it was alright, so she put it in her pocket. Then, she chose a steel knife, feeling its weight. She waved it around and smiled approvingly.

Have you practiced

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes were sharp, and he directly asked.

"Well, I know a little self-defense. As a girl studying abroad, I need to learn how to protect myself, besides, I'm so pretty."

Ripple raised an eyebrow and said.

" "

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Yuan Chongming twitched the corner of his mouth. Whether she was pretty or not, he couldn't tell, but her vanity was obvious.

The ripples are just a facade, a way to give her weapons a backstory. In this dimension, she can access her spatial storage, which is brimming with enough weaponry to obliterate an entire city. So, with a nonchalant air, she retrieved what she needed and returned to her house, beginning preparations for dinner.

Dinner consisted of four dishes and one soup with rice. There was stir-fried potato shreds, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fish-flavored shredded pork, braised eggplant, and a seaweed and shrimp soup. Even little Jia Yao couldn't keep his head up while eating, until he let out a small burp before finally stopping.

"Jīayào, chī bǎo le ma"

"I'm full!"

Jia Yao answered seriously.

How does it taste

"Delicious, just like Mom makes it."

Is your uncle's cooking not good

The ripples continue to amuse the children.

"Uh-huh"

Tan Jia Yao, the little boy, frowned, as if considering his words carefully. Finally, he managed to squeeze out two words:

"Delicious!"

"Pff! Hahaha!"

Yuan Chongming coughed awkwardly, and then Yuan Chao was laughing at how the little ones' expressions were so adorable. He got up and cleared the table, washing all the dishes and silently walked away with his nephew.

"Can't you just give me some face"

"What is mianzi Can you eat it"

Have you finished your homework today

Yuan Chongming immediately shifted the topic.

"I'm done! Sister Lianyi checked it for me and praised me for being smart."

A big and a small one talked to each other, then went home. Apparently, both of them were very satisfied with the dinner Ripple had cooked.

When Yuan Chongming left, he gave Lianyi half a catty of bananas and half a catty of oranges. Lianyi accepted them all.

At three o'clock in the morning, Typhoon "Su Bing" officially landed, with wind speeds reaching up to fifteen levels. The strong winds swept through the entire city.Ripple turned her gaze to Hill, then raised an eyebrow and said:"Hill, is there anything you'd like to say""Um, um"Hill hesitated for a long time, unable to explain clearly. His eyes darted around ner...
