Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Group Freeloading!

But before the audience in the live room had time to continue brewing the touched and warm feelings, they were abruptly interrupted.

Jiang Yan quickly entered the room, and a few minutes later, he dashed out like a gust of wind.

He had changed into the red Tibetan outfit that Uncle Zhao had bought for him.

Not only that, the large gold chain he had previously worn at the airport was also on him, clashing with the national attire yet somehow creating a mishmashed aesthetic on him.

Without hair wax, he ran to the well, scooped up a handful of water, and slicked his hair back into a pompadour.

Then he clipped on his sunglasses, which were missing a leg, strutted over to where Jiang Li, who had finished eating and was reading a book, and leaned his hand against the wall next to her.

“Am I so handsome that I’ve blinded you?”

Jiang Li gave a slight smile without changing her expression.

“Jiang Yan, do you know what you look like now?”

“What?”

“A red-headed agama lizard.”

Jiang Yan: ?

Knowing he didn’t know what that was, Jiang Li straightforwardly slapped the book page she had opened onto his face.

“Read more books, stop being so smug.”

The camera then zoomed in, showing an image of a lizard colored red on its upper body and dark blue on its legs and feet on the screen.

Jiang Yan looked at his still-on Tibetan blue pants: “…..”

[Let me educate you further, the red-headed agama lizard is an amphibious reptile living in Africa, with a red upper body and a blue lower body, looking somewhat like Spider-Man.]

[HAHAHAHAHAHA I’m laughing to death HAHAHAHAHA]

[How does Jiang Li manage to insult people without swear words every time HAHAHAHA]

[Thanks, Sister Li, for introducing me to such a “cute” animal.]

[Jiang Yan’s face is getting red HAHAHAHA, even more like a red-headed agama lizard now HAHAHAHAHA.]

While Jiang Yan was right there scolding Jiang Li for being cold-hearted, a praising voice suddenly came from above.

“Young Master Jiang, nice clothes, they look good.”

Looking up, it was Zhao Lang.

Leaning against the second-floor railing, he met Jiang Yan’s gaze with a smile, his expression sincere and earnest, not at all like flattery.

Jiang Yan felt cool and gave him a thumbs up.

“Daniu brother, you’ve got an eye for style.”

Jiang Yan’s PD, who was strictly following the task set by Director Sun the night before, quickly moved the camera over upon hearing the voice.

On the screen, Zhao Lang wore a traditional Chinese-style white mandarin-collar shirt, standing against the morning light, his features indistinct yet striking, his person exuding charm, making all the girls in the live broadcast scream continuously.

[OMG, OMG, what kind of classical charm does this national hunk possess! I’m going to die from his handsomeness!]

[Is “Flash Change” really a transformation variety show? Why does everyone in it look so handsome?!]

[Is there any scout out there to take Daniu away? I really love his face!]

Zhao Lang’s eyes subtly shifted, landing on Jiang Li beside him, then his smile deepened a bit.

“Good morning, Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Li glanced at him indifferently and nodded slightly.

Seizing the opportunity to bond with someone of the same mind, Jiang Yan hurried over to pull him down.

“From today on, aside from Richard, you are also part of young master’s team,” he said, casting a wary glance at Jiang Li, “Stay away from that woman, she’s pretty twisted.”

Jiang Li’s expression remained unchanged as she flicked a page of her book.

“Jiang Yan, just a reminder, it’s now seven o’clock. If you don’t eat soon, you’ll be late and lose points again.”

Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and complained to Zhao Lang, “See? Isn’t she twisted?”

Who else would get up early in the morning to run, come back to cook, and then sit in the yard to read a book?

Their old Jiang family never had such twisted genes in hundreds of years!

Zhao Lang merely smiled gently, his cold voice spilling from his lips like striking jade, resoundingly pleasant.

“I actually find Miss Jiang to be quite an interesting person.”

On this side, Qi Tianyu and Shu Yan had been searching all along the way and finally spotted the small log cabin surrounded by green trees at the end of the village.

But before they even got close, a familiar figure caught their attention.

Qi Tianyu stared and immediately shouted out loud,

“Brother He? What are you doing here?!”

The tall figure paused and then turned around.

It was indeed He Yun.

He lowered the arm he was about to use to knock, and coughed a bit awkwardly,

“Um… I have some business, but what are you guys doing here?”

Qi Tianyu and Shu Yan exchanged glances, then scratched their heads feeling a bit embarrassed,

“Actually, we were planning to mooch a meal from Sister Li. Director Sun didn’t feed us; she’s the only one in the crew who can cook.”

He Yun suddenly understood and exclaimed “Ah.”

Qi Tianyu narrowed his eyes, “Wait a minute, Brother He, don’t tell me you are also here to mooch a meal?”

He Yun fell silent and after a long while, he nodded his head.

[HAHAHA I can’t stop laughing, everyone is here to mooch a meal.]

[I was wondering why Mr. He got up so early, and he just went out, I thought he was just taking a walk, but he was actually going to mooch a meal.]

[Did these people think of the same thing?]

[A strange team spirit has appeared—collective mooching of meals.]

With He Yun joining in, Qi Tianyu felt even more justified.

Any hesitation he still had was now completely gone.

He was determined to have breakfast no matter what!

The worst he could do was do some extra work for Jiang Li today.

So, he took the lead and walked to the front, symbolically knocked on the brown wooden door, then pushed it open.

Before his vision even cleared, he smelled a rich aroma.

It was the smell of breakfast!

But when Qi Tianyu excitedly opened his eyes, what he saw was Jiang Yan crouching by the well, cursing while washing dishes.

And Jiang Li was sitting nearby under the porch, very focused on the book in his hand.

Qi Tianyu was dumbfounded.

“You guys… already ate?”

Jiang Yan and Jiang Li looked his way in unison, then nodded their heads.

Jiang Yan said, “We ate ten minutes ago, haven’t you eaten yet?”

Qi Tianyu nearly cried and hugged the door frame,

“Oh heavens, why is my life so hard!”

[I’m dying of laughter HAHAHA I witnessed with my own eyes how Jiang Yan finished the last bowl of porridge ten minutes ago.]

[Is Qi trying to kill me with laughter? Where’s your idol image?]

[Trending forecast! A 985 university’s top student cries out to the heavens because he missed a meal!]

Jiang Li looked at the three people stuck at the door, empathic yet helpless,

“Indeed, there’s no hot food left now, but there are some sweet potatoes and corn that the villagers sent over. I’ll steam them for you to eat.”

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope lit up in Qi Tianyu’s eyes.

Although the delicious Mushroom Soup from yesterday was gone, at least there was something to fill his stomach, and he was content.

So, he quickly nodded as if pounding garlic, “That would trouble Sister Li then, I want two sweet potatoes and two corns!”

Chatroom: ?

Qi, are you a pig?
