Chapter 70: You Guys Are Actually That Kind of Relationship

When Bai Su returned this time, he actually had a petite girl following behind him. The girl stood there timidly, her big, watery eyes filled with tears, which couldn’t help but stir up pity in people’s hearts.

“Camp Leader, can this person join our camp?” Bai Su asked. Jiang Xianchuan looked up upon hearing this and saw the little girl crying her eyes out. He couldn’t help but bend down slightly and ask softly, “Little sister, what’s your name?” As he spoke, he also tried his best to force out what he thought was a very kind and amiable smile.

Hearing Jiang Xianchuan’s question, the little girl sobbed a little and replied in a slightly choked voice, “My name is Ji Tiantian…”

“Then can I call you Tiantian?” Jiang Xianchuan asked gently.

“Mmm.” Ji Tiantian nodded lightly.

However, even though Jiang Xianchuan had been so patiently comforting her, Ji Tiantian’s emotions didn’t seem to have improved much. Helpless, Jiang Xianchuan sighed, slowly reached out, and took Ji Tiantian’s little hand, while also giving Bai Su a look. Bai Su understood and immediately stepped forward, lowering his voice to tell Jiang Xianchuan about the process of bringing Ji Tiantian back.

It turned out that they had encountered Ji Tiantian and her mother on their way back. Unfortunately, Ji Tiantian’s mother was suddenly attacked by zombies and bitten. Having lost her mother’s protection, Ji Tiantian met Bai Su and the others in a panic and was eventually brought back to the camp.

After understanding the whole story, Jiang Xianchuan turned his head to look at Ji Tiantian and said gently, “Tiantian, how about I find a sister to take you to take a bath and change into some clean clothes first?”

“Okay.” Ji Tiantian nodded obediently.

So, Jiang Xianchuan entrusted her to Lin Pianyue, who was standing nearby, and instructed, “Sister Pianyue, please take care of Tiantian.”

“Don’t worry, dear.” Lin Pianyue agreed with a smile, and then took Ji Tiantian’s hand and walked towards the bathroom.

After arranging everything, Jiang Xianchuan turned around and returned to the office to continue burying himself in the mountain of documents.

But what he never expected was that not long after, Ji Tiantian, who had just finished washing up and was looking brand new, actually took the initiative to come to him.

At this moment, although a few clear tear stains still remained on Ji Tiantian’s delicate face, her original terrified and helpless expression had completely disappeared. She only bit her pink lips tightly, as if she had made a great determination, and mustered up the courage to say to Jiang Xianchuan, “Please, can you not send me away from here? I really have the ability to help you do a lot of things!”

Li Lingyu, who was standing aside, kept his eyes on Ji Tiantian. When he saw this girl begging Jiang Xianchuan so humbly, he couldn’t help but feel a little impatient. You know, Jiang Xianchuan hadn’t even held his hand once today.

Hearing Ji Tiantian’s words, Jiang Xianchuan slowly shifted his gaze to her, looked her up and down, and then asked softly, “How old are you this year?” Ji Tiantian lowered her head slightly and replied somewhat timidly, “Sixteen years old…” Jiang Xianchuan raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, and continued to ask with a smile that was not quite a smile, “Only sixteen years old? Then tell me, what kind of things can you help me do?”

Ji Tiantian quickly raised her head and said eagerly, “I can help you wash clothes, cook, and I can also clean the house spotlessly!” As soon as she finished speaking, her voice unconsciously became a little louder, as if she was too excited.

However, Jiang Xianchuan only responded lightly, “Well, but unfortunately, someone is already doing these things for me.” After saying that, he even threw a very provocative wink at Li Lingyu beside him.

Seeing that hope was about to be shattered, Ji Tiantian begged again and again, “Please, pretty brother, please don’t send me away!” Perhaps moved by Ji Tiantian’s sincerity, Jiang Xianchuan finally relented and said, “Okay, since that’s the case, then from now on, you’ll be responsible for running errands for me, delivering documents, and things like that, how about it?”

Hearing this, Ji Tiantian nodded repeatedly, as if she had grasped the last straw, to express her agreement. Seeing this scene, Jiang Xianchuan smiled slightly and then said, “Alright, you should have a good rest today. Remember to come over tomorrow.”

After Ji Tiantian gradually walked away, Li Lingyu carefully moved his feet towards Jiang Xianchuan, his body slowly approaching the other party. When the distance was close enough, Jiang Xianchuan asked softly, “What’s wrong, Yu Bao?” As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lingyu gently took Jiang Xianchuan’s hand, as if afraid of hurting him.

Jiang Xianchuan understood and instantly grasped Li Lingyu’s intention, but he replied without thinking, “Why are you so petty with a little sister?” As soon as the words came out, Jiang Xianchuan immediately regretted it and thought to himself: Did the sentence I just said seem a little too ambiguous? Thinking of this, he quickly added, “It’s nothing, I was just saying it casually.”

Li Lingyu’s face, which had been wearing a bright smile, instantly drooped down like a sunny day turning cloudy after hearing Jiang Xianchuan’s words.

At the same time, he unconsciously increased the strength of the hand holding Jiang Xianchuan, as if trying to express his inner dissatisfaction in this way. He pouted slightly and blamed, “You’re really casual!” The slightly resentful tone seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

When Jiang Xianchuan saw Li Lingyu like this, he knew that his words had indeed been inappropriate, so he quickly used all his skills to please the other party.

He gently leaned his body towards Li Lingyu and said softly, “But, I’m not casual with you ~” Seeing Jiang Xianchuan’s cute and flattering look, the unhappiness in Li Lingyu’s heart instantly disappeared. Even the fact that Jiang Xianchuan had not taken the initiative to hold his hand today, which he had been brooding over, was now forgotten.

At this moment, Bai Su, who came to deliver the documents, witnessed the scene in front of him.

In an instant, his whole body froze. His mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of disbelief. Due to excessive shock, the documents he had been holding tightly in his hands seemed to have lost their support and all slipped down, scattering on the ground.

“Fuck…” Bai Su couldn’t help but exclaim, the sound so loud that it even echoed in the air. Jiang Xianchuan looked at him blankly, feeling very puzzled by Bai Su’s exaggerated reaction, and asked, “What’s wrong, Bai Su?”

However, Bai Su still seemed to be immersed in the shocking scene he had just seen, and replied stutteringly, “Camp Leader, you guys are actually… really that kind of relationship!” However, Jiang Xianchuan completely failed to understand the deep meaning in Bai Su’s words and still asked in confusion, “What relationship? Isn’t this how we’ve always gotten along?”

After hearing Jiang Xianchuan’s answer, Bai Su woke up from his dream and quickly bent down to pick up the documents scattered on the ground one by one, and then carefully placed them on the table.

After doing these actions, he took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions a little, and said, “My knowledge is too shallow, sorry to bother you, please continue, I’ll go first.”

Just as Bai Su turned around to leave, Jiang Xianchuan suddenly stopped him and issued an order, “Wait, from tomorrow onwards, you can hand over the work of delivering documents to Tiantian.” “Okay, I understand.” Bai Su did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and quickly agreed. As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly left without looking back, as if something terrible was chasing him from behind.

At this moment, there was only one thought in Bai Su’s mind, to find Qi Xiaoyao as soon as possible and tell him in detail what he had encountered today, so that he could properly digest and understand all of this.
