I Find Her Disgusting Chapter 133

For the remaining day, Yan Huirou didn’t know how she got through it.
Instead, Jiang Xidai, who had always wanted to go out, seemed much calmer than her.
“Yan Yan. Don’t you want to see the results?”
Today’s training was over, but Yan Huirou was still slowly pacing. “No… the official results are out tomorrow. Let’s talk about it then. Are you nervous?”
Jiang Xidai lifted her eyelashes and poked at the indoor projection equipment out of boredom. “Nervous…?”
No, she wasn’t nervous.
Or rather, if this were in the former Shasheng Sect, and the whole world was to vote on her future—
Then she would have long since been most cruelly pushed onto the execution rack, with absolutely no chance of survival.
Jiang Xidai had always been quite disappointed in the concept of the general public. They were ignorant and short-sighted, only believing what they wanted to believe. A slight breeze could make public opinion rage like a wildfire.
She didn’t know if the people here would be a little better, but her expectations were not very high, because there were always some commonalities in human nature.
Her origins, like a child fished out of a demon’s den, made it difficult for her to be truly accepted by the Lingshan Sect, and it would probably be just as difficult for the people here to accept her.
But Yan Huirou was still by her side. Jiang Xidai was no longer alone.
For her, this was enough.
If going out would cause trouble for Yan Huirou, she might also be able to give up on walking into that real world.
Although, to be restrained for a lifetime, there was always a bit of unwillingness…
Yan Huirou’s phone rang. Jiang Xidai clumsily pressed the green answer key.
“Sect Master, is that you?”
It was a call from Chen Cha’an.
“Mmm.”
“An experiment needs to be supplemented with data, and we need you to come again. No blood draws or electrocardiograms this time. I’ll trade you a cup of hot cocoa.”
“…How troublesome.” Jiang Xidai thought carefully. Why at this juncture? Her heart became alert again. “You want to see me alone?”
“Yan Huirou can come too,” Chen Cha’an said. “Please don’t be nervous, it’s just a routine check-up.”
Yan Huirou stopped her steps, as if she had remembered something. She smiled, and the tense atmosphere dissipated a lot. “Change your clothes, I’ll go with you.”
With Yan Huirou accompanying her, Jiang Xidai was much more at ease.
But this “routine check-up” came at a strange time, and she still keenly noticed Chen Cha’an’s attitude as she came to greet them.
…Something is not right.
That little System used to look at her with such fawning, but today’s expression seemed a bit more tense.
Jiang Xidai slowed her steps, one hand on Yan Huirou’s arm.
Because of Yan Huirou, they walked very slowly. Along the way, Chen Cha’an rubbed her hands twenty-three times, her palms slightly sweaty.
Jiang Xidai stared at her back coldly.
“We’ve… arrived.”
Chen Cha’an turned around and opened a door on the white wall. It was dark inside, and she couldn’t see what was there.
Jiang Xidai still wanted to observe a little more, but she hadn’t expected Yan Huirou to have already walked in without any guard.
She wanted to pull her back, and naturally followed. At this time, she had already quietly taken off the hidden weapon on her wrist, the blade in her palm, and had moved to a good angle to use force.
With a “click.”
The door was locked.
Jiang Xidai suddenly turned her head, and the lights before her suddenly lit up in a riot of color. Her heart beat faster for a moment, and she lifted her hand to immediately shield Yan Huirou behind her.
This is—
“Jiang Xidai, happy full moon!”
“Happy birthday!”
The party poppers on both sides suddenly exploded, and some ribbons floated over, almost sticking to Jiang Xidai’s face.
The woman stood where she was, her expression baffled, the hand holding Yan Huirou relaxing a little.
A group of staff in white lab coats appeared before her.
“Hey… it’s not a birthday, you shouted the wrong thing,” Chen Cha’an complained.
There was a burst of awkward laughter. “Sorry, I’m used to it.”
A large tiramisu cake was placed in front of them, with some characters that Jiang Xidai didn’t recognize written on it crookedly with white chocolate sauce.
The core members of the entire research team had come. Jiang Xidai recognized a few of them very well. They were the few little girls who had been putting instruments on her all day, and the ones who had been drawing blood with a needle.
Xiao Li, who had been tormented to the point of vomiting blood by her escape, was holding a microphone. “Thank you for this time… your valuable opinions on my work have found many loopholes…”
The microphone hadn’t been muted yet and was snatched by another hand. Perhaps this person’s mental state was a bit more frenzied. “The paper is done, hahaha! I feel like I’ll definitely get a promotion this time, Sect Master is the best!”
“Witnessing your birth is like witnessing history. Maybe we can all be remembered in history, and my work will have meaning.” Another hand took the microphone, and she was even holding a handkerchief to wipe her tears, as if she were a little moved.
“It’s been so long since you were born, and we haven’t given you a gift yet, so today Yan Yan and Cha’an have prepared a party… although you’re really a bit rebellious and have given everyone a headache, but… you’re also quite cute. Observing you is an interesting process, and also a deep reflection on life.”
The little girl added shyly, “Oh, the milk tea you take every day is mine. Our tastes are a bit similar, so later I started ordering two cups. You’re welcome.”
Jiang Xidai was stunned on the spot. She had never seen such a scene.
But it was not a malicious threat.
She quietly took a step back and leaned against Yan Huirou.
Chen Cha’an came from somewhere with a large bouquet of sunflowers. The large flower heads almost completely blocked her face.
She stuffed it into the woman’s arms. “Yan Yan wanted to pick some red roses for you, but there were none in the shop. We think sunflowers are not bad either.”
Chen Cha’an smiled. “Have fun today. Anyway, our entire research center will definitely vote in support of that bill!”
“Yes, yes.”
Of course, they hadn’t considered so much about the great righteousness of humanity. They couldn’t be responsible for the bright future of this vote. It was just because everyone watched Jiang Xidai every day, watched her come out of the pod, charging and crashing, and now she had slowly learned many new things of the modern era, like watching a child grow up bit by bit.
With affection, there was no way to completely treat Jiang Xidai as a test subject.
Yan Huirou was the first to notice Jiang Xidai’s awkwardness—she was always very good at dealing with various crises and malice. She had probably rarely encountered such a scene…
A glance, and she was probably a little crashed.
“What full moon, it’s long been over,” Jiang Xidai finally grumbled out her first sentence here.
Chen Cha’an boldly complained back, “You just say if this month is complete or not.”
Jiang Xidai’s words seemed to have hit the funny bone of this group of young aunts. She didn’t know what was so funny… wasn’t the ugly tiramisu cake even funnier?
To prevent the Sect Master from digging out a Shasheng Sect maneuver, Yan Huirou quickly pulled Jiang Xidai to cut the cake.
But before a single cut was made, she was stopped by a few arms. “Wait! We haven’t made a wish yet…”
“If there’s this part,” Yan Huirou: “then, where are the candles?”
“Here.”
A hand held a candle and inserted it. A lighter was casually pressed, and the wick was nimbly lit.
“Eh? Director Cheng… when did you…” Chen Cha’an took a sharp breath.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Cheng Guanying said coolly, “I’m just a daily manager of the medical department. I’ve been beaten black and blue by this Miss Jiang several times. Logically and reasonably, shouldn’t I come and have some cake?”
Jiang Xidai smiled faintly. “Are you healed?”
Cheng Guanying, seeing her smile like this again, took half a step back and looked her up and down. “From tomorrow on, if you attack me again, I will consider suing you for intentional injury. Absolutely.”
Chen Cha’an didn’t dare to openly complain about her superior, but actually… this sentence should be a very awkward blessing, right?
Because without human identity, Cheng Guanying of course couldn’t sue her, and could only consider herself unlucky.
Just like she had criticized Yan Huirou’s suicide attempt, but still spent a long time rescuing Yan Huirou.
Of course, a certain person probably didn’t understand the deeper meaning.
The woman was motionless, her eyes drooping as she looked at the candle. The candlelight reflected in her eyes, shimmering.
These eyes had once been used to seeing dirty blood and the coldness of the human heart. In this world, the warm firelight shone, for the first time casting such a clear warmth in her pupils.
Yan Huirou: “Make a wish? Then blow it out.”
“I don’t like to make wishes.”
Jiang Xidai’s gaze softened. She waved and extinguished the candle, leaving only a wisp of light smoke. The researchers on the side thought she was shy and quickly tried to smooth things over. “Alright, let’s have some cake.”
Yan Huirou, however, felt that this conversation was a bit familiar.
That day, when they were floating in the sky, they had also accidentally encountered a field of sky lanterns.
Yes, that’s right.
Her memories flashed back and forth, bright and dark.
“Wishing for parents to live a long life… this one is for peace and smoothness… wealth and prosperity… so many people are making wishes. Sect Master, do you want to make one?”
“I don’t like to make wishes.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I feel… the most sincere wishes are always made at the most painful times.”
Yan Huirou knew that she must have made a wish, thousands and thousands of times. But the pain still echoed, and she was adrift in a sea of bitterness, unable to find release.
Because, Yan Huirou had also been so sincere before.
The large tiramisu cake was cut into many pieces, and the one with the most chocolate sauce was given to the protagonist of the “full moon wine.”
This cake was clearly baked by an internal staff member. It was so large and extravagant that almost everyone ate until they were sick.
Jiang Xidai was still seriously tasting the flavor of the tiramisu, her eyes slightly narrowed. Yan Huirou leaned against her, holding a small plate, and a cup of orange juice, preparing to feed her picky Sect Master.
Cheng Guanying was drinking a special cocktail alone on the side. Chen Cha’an and her awkwardly clinked glasses and sat down to watch the drunk Xiao Li sing with a microphone.
Hiss, so out of tune.
In the end, Chen Cha’an also got herself drunk. She actually floated past Jiang Xidai, and with a flick of her fingertip, a smear of cream was left on her nose.
“Hahaha.”
The little aunt seemed to be getting her revenge. “Let’s see if you dare to catch me again!”
?
Insolent.
Jiang Xidai frowned. She couldn’t help but look at Yan Huirou. Unexpectedly, her left cheek was also smeared. Yan Huirou had also smeared her.
Yan Huirou’s fingertips were still stained with cream, and she smiled at her very sweetly. “A little fun.”
The remaining staff, more or less, had also had a little to drink. Perhaps they had forgotten the fear of being dominated by Jiang Xidai—everyone became excited and swarmed over with cream.
“The birthday star is supposed to be smeared.”
Jiang Xidai couldn’t stand this kind of offense. She quickly broke free from the crowd, but she was held by Yan Huirou, and her face was smeared a few more times. This was too childish… and to fight back would make her look like she couldn’t take a joke.
Later, she was provoked and also took some cream to smear others. Fortunately, Jiang Xidai who was the master of the Shasheng Sect—relying on her martial arts, almost no one could smear her.
Chen Cha’an, with almost a quarter of a cream cake on her face, begged for mercy. “I was wrong, I was wrong!! Really…”
Yan Huirou even had cream all over her head, sticky. She held her breath and said, “A group of us, we can’t even beat her.”
Jiang Xidai smiled, her gaze sweeping over this group of people proudly. Not bad. Everyone’s face was like it had been plastered. “Still too green.”
“You were clearly the most active,” Cheng Guanying wiped her cheek with a handkerchief. “You all look very memorable. If only you were this active at work. Let’s take a group photo?”
“Okay.”
“Big sister, wait for me to wash my face…”
“Are we still going to take a picture of the cake… it’s in such a state.”
“No more pictures.”
“Everyone get ready. Lean over this way.”
“…What’s the hurry?” Jiang Xidai was still tidying her beloved dark hair in front of a dressing mirror, but she was pulled back and forced to sit in the middle of everyone.
Yan Huirou didn’t bother with the cream on her face. She happened to lean directly above Jiang Xidai. “Look at the camera, Jiao Jiao.”
“Hahaha, Jiang Xidai is called that…”
“Yan Yan—”
“Don’t move! Don’t talk!”
“Ahhh, wait,” a voice came out. “My cream is dripping!”
The high-definition camera automatically flashed, capturing this chaotic scene. A few staff members were dancing wildly in the back. Yan Huirou’s nose was white, as if she were wearing makeup. Jiang Xidai was reluctantly squeezed in the middle by everyone. Her hair, which had just been washed, was now like it was stuck with broken snow. There was also chocolate sauce on her lips.
Very pathetic, but everyone’s smile was very eye-catching.
After the film was printed, Jiang Xidai looked at this ghastly small square, and along with the pile of gifts and flowers she had received at the party today, she put them all in her bedroom.
“This banquet, was it your idea?”
Jiang Xidai asked Yan Huirou.
Yan Huirou gently shook her head. “How could that be? I’ve been quite nervous recently, that vote…”
Jiang Xidai’s fingers rubbed the photo. She didn’t know what she was thinking. After a moment, she smiled. “What vote? Don’t think about this. Yan Yan, I still don’t like to make wishes, and I didn’t make one today.”
“Hmm?”
“Maybe… because what I want, I’ve already gotten.”
Yan Huirou’s heart moved. She had never heard Jiang Xidai say such a thing, completely without any resentment. For some reason, the little bit of nervousness in her heart suddenly flattened a lot.
And in the middle of the night, a fierce knocking came from outside.
“Aiyo…”
Chen Cha’an said happily from outside, “Have you two seen the official website? The bill passed! It was really close, three hundred million people voted, but it was still three hundred votes over the amount needed!!”
Three hundred votes…
About the same as the number of people in the project team, a little more…
Yan Huirou was stunned. After a moment, she smiled slightly, and finally, she was relieved.
