Chapter 551 Deliver the items together
As Shi Sijin began to enjoy her watermelon, Bai Mianmian glanced at the cafeteria door with a puzzled expression.

She still hasn't seen Ning Anrou.

Did she miss something?
Jiang Ci noticed Bai Mianmian's movements and remembered that she seemed to have looked in that direction twice during the meal.

"You're looking at Ning An..." Jiang Ci paused here, glanced at Bai Mianmian, and then spoke again, "Cousin Anrou?"

If Ning Anrou were here, she would definitely pat Jiang Ci on the shoulder and burst into laughter. She had been wanting to hear Jiang Ci call her "cousin" for a long time.

Bai Mianmian was also taken aback by Jiang Ci calling her "cousin".

Because she had never heard Jiang Ci call Ning Anrou "cousin" before, she almost didn't realize it when she suddenly heard it.

Seeing Bai Mianmian's expression, Jiang Ci lowered his eyes somewhat uncomfortably.

He heard her calling Ning Anrou "cousin" quite happily, so... next time, he shouldn't call her "cousin" anymore.

“She told me she couldn’t make it over tonight and asked me to arrange for a robot to deliver her dinner.”

After saying that, Jiang Ci lowered his head and went to eat watermelon.

Bai Mianmian seemed quite interested in his unease, and was currently watching him eat watermelon with a smile on her face, without even asking why Ning Anrou couldn't make it over.

Shi Sijin, engrossed in eating watermelon, glanced up and saw the two people opposite her bathed in warm-toned lighting. "...??"

What's going on.
Shi Sijin was deep in thought, but his speed of eating melons did not slow down at all.

Bai Mianmian looked at Jiang Ci for a while and then stopped teasing him, deciding to play with him again when they got home.

She asked with a smile, "Has the food delivery robot left?"

Unaware of her thoughts, Jiang Ci relaxed as he chewed the watermelon. "Not yet."

Bai Mianmian nodded. She had originally planned to give the watermelons she found today to Ning Anrou and the others.

It seems the only option now is to have the food delivery robot deliver it along with the sunflower seeds she processed to remove the contaminants.

Seeing Bai Mianmian take the items out and have the robot put them into the portable insulated box, Shi Sijin couldn't help but stop eating.

Those five oval, dark green striped things look kind of familiar.

After thinking for a while, Shi Sijin lowered her head and turned the watermelon she was eating over.

The color and stripes of the watermelon rind are very similar to those of the five oval shapes.

Five big watermelons!
Shi Sijin's eyes widened suddenly at the dark green watermelon. After confirming that he was not seeing things, he turned his gaze to Bai Mianmian.

But a second later, he shifted his gaze to Jiang Ci again.

He was too embarrassed to ask Bai Mianmian for it, but he had the nerve to ask Jiang Ci for it.

Before dinner, Jiang Ci mentioned that their Second Legion had received quite a few watermelons, so giving him a few wouldn't be too much to ask, and he could even buy some for Jing He.

Jiang Ci glanced back at Shi Sijin, then looked away.

I don't want to talk to him right now.

Shi Sijin blinked, pursed her lips, flipped the watermelon in her hand back, took a bite of the sweet watermelon, and felt cheerful again.

If they don't give it to me now, they'll give it to me later, hehe~
Suppressing the confident smile that surfaced in her eyes, Shi Sijin shifted her gaze from Jiang Ci to the other item Bai Mianmian had given her: melon seeds.

There are at least 300 pounds of sunflower seeds.

Since she was able to give them away, those sunflower seeds must have been completely free of contamination.

Shi Sijin's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Jiang Ci again.

How much more about Bai Mianmian is this guy keeping from saying?

Ning Anrou originally thought that Chen Jiajia would just pick up the dinner delivered by the robot, and that would be fine.

She had just returned from the forest and sat down, really not wanting to move anymore. In order to eat dinner at the Second Legion's mess hall every day, she had given up quite a few crystal cores and mutated plants and animals.

They had originally thought that they would have plenty of time to find the mutated plants and animals before the main force arrived, and to replenish the crystal cores and mutated plants and animals that had been given away.

According to her original plan, when the main force arrived, the warehouse supplies would definitely be more than when she provided the crystal cores and mutated plants and animals.

However, despite all her calculations, she hadn't anticipated that the main force would arrive ahead of schedule, and this news caught her completely off guard.

Therefore, all she can do now is lead her team to find as many mutated plants and animals as possible.

Make sure to have plenty of registered supplies when the main force arrives, otherwise she'll have to listen to a lot of nagging from certain people.

Today, in order to harvest that herd of mutated cattle, she couldn't even make it back to the Second Legion's mess hall to collect her dinner, and this situation might continue tomorrow.

"Sigh~" Ning Anrou sighed, feeling a little tired.

Just then, Chen Jiajia arrived with the Second Legion's food delivery robots to find her.

"What's wrong?" Ning Anrou asked, sitting up slightly.

As Chen Jiajia led the robot closer to her, she said, "It says there's something else specifically for you that you need to sign for and receive."

"What is that?" Ning Anrou asked curiously as the robot approached.

“I don’t know, it didn’t say.” Chen Jiajia stopped next to Ning Anrou.

The food delivery robot then stopped in front of Ning Anrou and scanned her.

After confirming that the person was correct, the robot pushed the portable insulated box that was following beside it to Ning Anrou.

"Here are the melon seeds and watermelon that Ms. Bai Mianmian specifically requested for Ms. Ning Anrou. Please inspect them," the robot's emotionless voice announced.

Ning Anrou knew what melon seeds were, but she didn't recognize a watermelon.

Curiosity immediately made her forget her physical exhaustion, and she went over and opened the portable refrigerator.

The robot recognized that Ning Anrou had taken out a watermelon and immediately explained, "Here's a watermelon. Cut it open and eat the red flesh inside. The watermelon seeds will be inside the red flesh, so please be careful when eating it."

Ning Anrou held the watermelon in one hand, nodded, and then continued to take things out of the portable insulated box.

After taking out the melon seeds and watermelon, Ning Anrou took her own dinner and then pushed the portable refrigerator to Chen Jiajia, asking her to arrange for the dinner inside to be served.

Looking at the melon seeds and watermelon in front of her, Ning Anrou's eyes filled with emotion.

At that moment, she began to regret it.

I regret not going to the Second Legion's canteen to have dinner with Bai Mianmian today.

Otherwise, they could have a pleasant dinner together, and then enjoy eating sunflower seeds together.

After Ning Anrou ate the watermelon, her regret deepened.

If she had eaten dinner at the Second Legion's canteen, she would have already gotten to eat this delicious watermelon.

Afterwards, Ning Anrou excitedly contacted Bai Mianmian through her terminal and expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

Mianmian never forgets to save some of the delicious food for herself, which really touched her deeply.

When Bai Mianmian returned home with Jiang Ci, she looked at Ning Anrou's touching expression on the terminal screen and really didn't know how to respond.

"...No...no need to thank me. I still have watermelons here. If you want more, I'll give you a few more tomorrow."

Bai Mianmian's words were a bit stiff at first, but they became more fluent when she got to the part about giving Ning Anrou a watermelon.

It was obvious that she was very happy to give Ning Anrou another watermelon.

Ning Anrou was so frightened by her words that she repeatedly refused.

The watermelons were just as delicious as the fruit she had given away before, which shows how valuable they were. Five of them were more than enough for her.
