Chapter 493 A Puzzling Puzzle…

Realizing what she had just drunk, Shi Sijin looked at Bai Mianmian with a complicated expression.

Although he had quite a few medications that could relieve the dull, aching pain in his head, things with such an effect were not so easy to obtain.

This water, which can soothe the dull pain in one sip, is just as precious as the potion with the same effect that he has.

She gave it to him so easily; did she not know how precious it was?
Meeting Shi Sijin's complicated gaze, Bai Mianmian calmly took another sip of tea.

Then she started taking things out of her storage: a large plate of caramel-flavored sunflower seeds, a plate of hand-shredded beef jerky, a plate of spicy shredded beef, a plate of sweet and spicy meat jerky, and finally a cup of milk tea.

Snacks should be paired with milk tea, otherwise half the happiness is lost.

Shi Sijin, still looking confused, became somewhat dazed upon seeing what appeared on the table; he was bewitched by the fragrance.
As for the tea that could soothe the headache and relieve dull pain, he completely forgot about it at this point.

At that moment, Shi Sijin had only one thought in her mind: the aroma was wonderful, every single one smelled so delicious, she wanted to eat them all!
Especially that cup of milk tea he had recently drunk, but hadn't had enough of.

"Da~"

Shi Sijin pushed the three S-grade crystal cores that were placed on the table in front of Bai Mianmian.

"Sister-in-law, may I share some of the delicious food on the table? Can I have another cup of milk tea?" Shi Sijin looked at Bai Mianmian with bright, phoenix eyes, her eyes filled with longing for the food.

Bai Mianmian, who was just about to reach for the melon seeds, paused, her gaze falling on the three crystal cores before turning to Shi Sijin opposite her.

Then, under his intense gaze, she took out a new cup of milk tea from her spatial storage.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Shi Sijin suddenly stood up and stretched out his hands, taking the cup of milk tea the moment Bai Mianmian handed it to him.

The speed was so fast it was like snatching the milk tea from Bai Mianmian's hands.

In an instant, the cheerful laughter and pleasant conversation that had been filling the air vanished, leaving only a tense and oppressive atmosphere of silence.

"..." Shi Sijin, who was overjoyed at being able to drink milk tea again, suddenly froze with a smile. He then turned his head and realized that the source of the danger he felt came from the Second Legion of the Barbecue Mantis Shrimp Insect Clan.

What's happening here? ?

For a moment, Shi Sijin looked at the group of people with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"You're welcome, you gave me the crystal cores." Bai Mianmian smiled and then reached out to put the three S-grade crystal cores on the table into her spatial storage.

As soon as she said this, those who had been staring intently at Shi Sijin immediately looked away.

Although they were a bit far from Bai Mianmian, they could hear almost everything she said, even though she wasn't lowering her voice.

Immediately, cheerful laughter and pleasant conversation filled the air again, as if the sudden silence had never happened.

Shi Sijin, who felt she had been glared at for no reason, was speechless.

So, what exactly happened just now?

Bai Mianmian glanced at Shi Sijin, who was still deep in thought, then turned to look at the barbecued mantis shrimp. After scanning the area, she looked at the person closest to her and waved to him.

Their eyes met, and Yang Feng pointed to himself with an uncertain expression.

Bai Mianmian nodded to him and waved for him to come over.

Before Yang Feng could react to such an obvious instruction, the people around him had already pushed him out, saying, "What are you dawdling for? Your sister-in-law is looking for you, hurry up and go."

Pushed forward, Yang Feng no longer hesitated and ran forward. Then, amidst many gazes, he stood in front of Bai Mianmian, grinning and saying, "Sister-in-law."

Bai Mianmian nodded to him, then began to take out melon seeds from her spatial button. Apart from the one pound of caramel-flavored melon seeds she had left, she took out all the remaining melon seeds and put them into several large baskets.

"You can take these and divide them up."

New sunflower seeds will be available in a few days, so let them all share these old ones. As for other snacks like dried meat, that's all.

Because she didn't make that many. Looking at the melon seeds, which weighed at least a thousand pounds, Yang Feng's face showed the delighted expression of a badger seeing melons, and the same expression was shared by the people who followed him.

Shi Sijin fell silent again. Why did he have to give crystal cores when he ate, but they didn't? Didn't everyone call her "sister-in-law" the same way?
However, his resentment dissipated quickly as he began to eat the beef jerky and other snacks on the table.

Those were several kinds of delicious foods he had never tasted before, making him feel that the three crystal cores were well worth the price.

None of the Second Legion members tasted the same delicious food, and he chose not to think about whether they had eaten it before.

So he quickly cheered up again.

My sister-in-law is so kind; she actually let him eat such delicious food.

He's too full to eat much right now. He can't eat more than a few bites of each kind, so... he's feeling quite sad.

Seeing Shi Sijin's tearful expression, Bai Mianmian, who was cracking sunflower seeds, silently stopped what she was doing and then put the plates of snacks she had barely touched on the table over to him.

Shi Sijin, who was taking a bite of a piece of dried meat, noticed Bai Mianmian's actions. Her sad mood paused, and she looked at Bai Mianmian with a puzzled expression.

"If you like it, you can have all of these." Bai Mianmian placed the last plate of spicy shredded beef in front of Shi Sijin.

She had enough left over after buying all of these with three S-grade crystal cores, so she should eat less; otherwise, she would feel guilty keeping the crystal cores.

"Really? Can I store it in my spatial storage and eat it slowly?" Shi Sijin asked in surprise.

That way he can save it and eat it slowly.

"Do as you please." Bai Mianmian waved her hand dismissively and continued cracking sunflower seeds.

Upon hearing this, Shi Sijin didn't stand on ceremony and took the plate away, leaving only a plate of melon seeds on the table—no, and the still-warm teapot and teacups.

Second Army Corps Command Room.

After Jiang Ci finished his busy work, he was really worried that Shi Sijin would cause trouble and upset Bai Mianmian.

The surveillance footage was retrieved, and facial recognition was used to search for the location of the two individuals.

As soon as the surveillance footage appeared on the control panel screen, Jiang Ci saw Shi Sijin happily clearing away almost all the plates from the table.

Sitting opposite him was Bai Mianmian.

You could tell at a glance that the food on those plates was brought out by Bai Mianmian.

Jiang Ci: "..."

What is he doing?!

A little angry, Jiang Ci immediately contacted Bai Mianmian.

"Mianmian, did Ajin bully you?"

Bai Mianmian was taken aback by Jiang Ci's question as soon as the video call was connected, and then asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Jiang Ci didn't hide anything and told them what he had seen on the surveillance screen.

Bai Mianmian laughed immediately after hearing this, "I got three S-grade crystal cores from him, so it wasn't a bad deal."

Hearing this, Jiang Ci smiled; it was indeed a worthwhile deal.

Although Shi Sijin, who was sitting opposite Bai Mianmian, couldn't see her terminal screen, she could guess from the focus of Bai Mianmian's gaze and what she was saying that she was having a video call with Jiang Ci and that he was talking about buying those snacks with crystal cores.

It seems someone is suspecting they are abusing their partner.

Shi Sijin pursed her lips and continued cracking the melon seeds in her hand.
