Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Her provocative gaze seems to ridicule us
Si Chen said casually, "The kitchen is too hot. If you’re not in the mood, just grab sothing to eat from the canteen. You don’t have to go out of your way to cook for ." He was already satisfied with the thought itself.
"I’ll simply take the ingredients into the room, and finish making the filling. You go ahead and shower!" After urging Si Chen to go and shower, Tong Yao grabbed a dical book and pretended to start reading on the bed.
As soon as Si Chen left, she quickly beckoned for Mosquito Number Eight to co over and eagerly asked, "Tell , is Li iyu crying very miserably now?"
Tong Yao was a bit mischievous and enjoyed watching others loathe her but be unable to do anything about it.
[So miserable. But I think Liu Haisheng is worse off. He’s even forced to sleep on the floor now.]
Tong Yao chuckled, "Serves him right. Who asked him to ditch his perfect wife and marry soone much younger than himself? This is what happens when n are fickle."
Though Liu Haisheng’s situation was quite entertaining, Tong Yao didn’t have the ti to concern herself with it. She was preoccupied with sothing else now.
"How did the communication with hornets go?" Tong Yao felt it would be best for them to communicate with their own kind who had wings, as it was too risky for her to approach the hornets herself.
Of course, if the communication failed, she would still have to deal with it personally, and it would be better if the issue was solved sooner rather than later. After all, Jia Qing might co over unannounced at any ti.
[We did go, but it was no use at all! They were too arrogant to bother with us at all.] Mosquito Number Eight expressed its anger when talking about the incident. They all belonged to the sa class of flying creatures, so why did the hornets think they were superior?
Tong Yao paused to think, and said, "Alright, I’ll find another way tomorrow!"
....
Si Chen seed quite tired. By the ti Tong Yao finished her shower and returned, he was already asleep in the bed. Not wanting to disturb him, she tiptoed to the bed and quietly lay down. The next morning, when Si Chen got up for work, Tong Yao woke up briefly. All she heard was Si Chen saying one thing.
"It’s still early. You can sleep a little longer."
She grunted in response and then turned over to continue sleeping. When she finally woke again, it was already eight in the morning and a bowl of porridge and fried dough sticks had been left on the table for her. After eating breakfast, Tong Yao went to knock on Li Nuanchun’s door.
"Hey girl, looking for ?" Li Nuanchun opened the door and was surprised to see Tong Yao. This was the first ti Tong Yao had co to knock on her door so early in the morning. The last ti she had knocked on Qian Niannian’s door, she ended up splashing the girl’s bed with water, and Niannian still owes her fifty yuan.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any transparent plastic cloth?" Tong Yao ca straight to the point, explaining why she had co. She chose to borrow from Li Nuanchun because she rembered seeing her use it before, though she wasn’t sure if Li Nuanchun would lend it to her or not.
"Yes, yes, I do. Just wait a mont. I’ll get it for you right now." Li Nuanchun nodded repeatedly, turned around and went back inside. She rummaged through the cabinet and pulled out a folded transparent plastic cloth. "Here you go, girl, take it! I rarely use it. Sotis I use it to dry radishes on the ground."
Knowing that Tong Yao wasn’t the type to take advantage of people, Li Nuanchun wasn’t worried about Tong Yao not returning the cloth.
Tong Yao gratefully accepted the plastic cloth, a bright smile on her face. "Great! Thank you, sister-in-law. I promise to return it in two hours."
Just as Li Nuanchun was about to ask what she needed it for, she saw Tong Yao already rush downstairs with the plastic cloth in her arms.
Young people are so energetic. If I tried to run as fast as her, I would probably strain my waist.
"Such a racket, so early in the morning! How is anyone supposed to get any sleep? Even my little Baodan has been woken up!"
Chen Yani ca out holding Baodan, with a pointed and bitter expression on her face. When Li Nuanchun saw Yani being like this, she just rolled her eyes, slamd the door shut, and completely ignored Yani, leaving her infuriated.
"What a cheeky creature! Acting all high and mighty after getting so benefits from that little fox. Who does she think she is? I spit on her..." Yani muttered curses while holding Baodan as they went back inside. "Rember, Baodan, next ti you see Li Nuanchun, don’t call her auntie. That old woman is not worthy of being your auntie."
"I want candy. Buy candy. You said you would take
to buy candy." Baodan didn’t care what Yani was saying, he only rembered Yani saying she would take him to buy candy. But they had just left the house when they had to turn back and return inside.
"Oh my! Look at , so flustered..." Yani slapped her forehead before quickly taking the child outside again.
...
Tong Yao wrapped the borrowed plastic cloth around herself tightly, ensuring no vulnerabilities were left for the hornets to attack. Only then did she approach the hornets’ nest. The hornets seed to recognize her and didn’t wait for her to shake the tree. So of them flew down to drive her away.
[Get away, get away! If you don’t, we’ll sting you. Your face still hasn’t recovered, and yet you dare to co here...]
One of the hornets tried to perforate the plastic cloth. Fortunately, the quality of the cloth was quite good and it didn’t allow the hornet to succeed. Seeing that Tong Yao’s protective clothing was quite formidable, the hornets beca quite alard.
[The hornets’ nest on the tree over there seems to have been toppled by soone in similar gear. This human has ill intentions, she’s probably here for revenge to eliminate our nest. I should warn Big Boss. ]
Big Boss?
So, it refers to the queen hornet!
Well, well, well. Tong Yao didn’t expect the hornets to have such a strong sense of crisis. They had imdiately alerted their queen. As soon as this thought hit her, she heard a buzzing sound from overhead. When she looked up, her whole body broke out in goosebumps.
She saw dense swarms of hornets flying toward her, appearing like locusts swarming an area. This was like a level one orange alert situation with a complete mobilization of forces!
Tong Yao was imdiately tempted to turn and flee, but she resisted. If she ran now, it would signal her defeat, making it harder to negotiate next ti.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of hornets had arrived and surrounded her, with many landing directly on the plastic cloth in an attempt to breach Tong Yao’s protective barrier. Fortunately, the quality of the plastic cloth was indeed excellent.
Among the swarm of hornets, the figure of the queen hornet was striking due to its size - at least three or four tis larger than the other hornets. Flying approximately a ter in front of Tong Yao, she could feel the scorn emanating from the queen hornet.
[Big Boss, it’s her. The one who kicked our tree last ti and ca to cause trouble again. This ti she’s even wearing protective gear.]
[Sting her to death, let’s see if she dares to co again, ignorant human.]
[Big Boss, her eyes seem to challenge us. It’s like she’s mocking us.]
Tong Yao recognized the hornet that had just spoken as the one that had flown to call the queen hornet. Sohow she could distinguish its voice. It seed there were troublemakers in every species.
"I’m not mocking you. I’m just trying to be your friend." Seeing the right mont, Tong Yao took the initiative to engage in conversation with the hornets.
[....Bi...Big Boss, she...she seems to understand what we’re saying...]
With a smile, Tong Yao said, "Don’t be surprised, I really can understand what you’re saying."
