Chapter 492 (2/2)
“Why didn’t you say earlier? I could’ve made supper instead, oh my goodness,” she whined.
Upon her reminder, he finally remembered something… “Ah, right! You’re a cook, like Fatty! Fuck, I forgot. I’ll let you cook supper tomorrow night…”
“Tomorrow night? What about tonight?”
“We’re having Beggar’s chicken tonight.”
“...”
Are you sure this will work?
She didn’t ask him because he would say yes. Then again, with Ye Lang’s luck, it shouldn’t be too bad. It’d still be edible.
Just like the burnt rabbit from dinner, it would still be alright…
And just like that, two people were sat around a fire once again. This time, Ye Lang sat closer to Coldblood Five. When she asked him what he was doing, he said…
“We’ll be warmer like this. I don’t want you catching a cold.”
“I’m not cold.”
“I am.”
“...”
This isn’t too bad, you’re right, it is warmer like that. Coldblood Five leaned on Ye Lang, staring far, far ahead…
“Little Five,” said Ye Lang suddenly.
“?”
“Do you think Athena’s plan will involve the hero and the damsel in distress trope?”
“Perhaps. This trope usually leaves a deep impression with girls. But this is Li Yue, it’ll be difficult to find an opportunity for this,” said Coldblood Five.
“Oh, nevermind then.” Ye Lang continued stoking the fire with a stick.
“Nevermind what?” Coldblood Five was curious.
“I felt something a few moments ago. I think there’s someone approaching Li Yue now,” said Ye Lang calmly.
“What?” Coldblood Five was stunned for a moment. “You’re telling me someone’s there? And you asked me because of that?”
“Yeah, I think since ten minutes ago,” replied Ye Lang as if it was nothing.
“...” Coldblood Five fell silent. Ten minutes ago? Why didn’t you say anything?
“Why didn’t you say earlier?”
“I didn’t know they were looking for Li Yue. It isn’t odd for people to be here, it’s a group hunt.”
“Then how are you sure now?”
“They are now very near Li Yue’s tent, someone even entered her tent…” Ye Lang didn’t look like he intended to do anything about it.
“...”
“You idiot, go check! It doesn’t matter if it’s part of Athena’s plan, you should still go check!” she said immediately, pulling him up.
If it were Athena’s plan, then as the main character, of course he had to be there! The main characters had to be present for the love story to be written…
And if it wasn’t, then all the more reason for him to appear! It might result in an actual hero and damsel in distress scenario.
“Let’s eat supper first…” Ye Lang dug up a few balls of mud, about to crack them open for the chicken inside.
“Leave it, just go!” Coldblood Five smacked him then stepped into the shadows, hurrying towards Li Yue’s tent.
Ye Lang had no choice but to grab a few pieces and started to head towards Li Yue.
Back at Li Yue’s tent, the moment someone felt their way into the tent, Li Yue had already unsheathed her sword. She slashed at the intruder, though it wasn’t a forceful one but more to chase the intruder out.
At that point, she thought the intruder was Ye Lang and cursed silently. I can’t believe how shameless this guy is! He definitely forgot his tent on purpose so he can slip into mine in the middle of the night…
