After rebirth, they all want to monopolize me

Why does Chapter 191 smell of gunpowder?

"Eh?"

Upon hearing Chen Xueman's question, Shi Ya was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved her hand.

"No, no, I'm not Jiang Li's girlfriend. We just share an apartment."

And it's not just Jiang Li and me living together; Lin Shanshan lives there too.

As she spoke, Shiya's cheeks flushed slightly, her delicate white fingers intertwining, and she whispered in a voice barely audible, "We...we're just friends."

"I see," Chen Xueman smiled, feeling slightly relieved.

However, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Shi Ya has a lot of affection for Jiang Li, and what's even more unexpected is that Lin Shanshan is also living with Brother Jiang.

Chen Xueman and Lin Shanshan were also high school classmates. During high school, the group often went to and from school together.

Li Gege is rather oblivious, so he doesn't know that Lin Shanshan actually has a bit of a crush on him, but he can tell that Lin Shanshan had a crush on him back in high school.

In fact, Chen Xueman also felt that her brother Li had a good impression of Lin Shanshan.

After all, Lin Shanshan was the school beauty in high school. She was so beautiful, had an amazing figure, and a gentle personality.

Let alone Brother Li, if I were a boy, I would also fall for Lin Shanshan.

However, Brother Li doesn't seem to have much confidence in himself, and Lin Shanshan is also very introverted, never showing her emotions.

In addition, I was quite shy in high school, so that secret has remained unspoken ever since.

But things are different now. Now everyone is an adult, and I heard that Brother Li even saved Lin Shanshan.

Furthermore, Li Gege and Lin Shanshan are high school classmates and now live together, which is extremely dangerous!

"Shiya, I've been in Japan for a long time and haven't been back for a while. Can you tell me about some things that happened to Brother Li recently?" Chen Xueman held Shiya's small hand and said softly.

“Of course,” Shi Ya nodded. “I haven’t known Jiang Li for very long; it was back when we were at the Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum.”

Shi Ya recounted everything that happened in Xi'an, including her acquaintance with Jiang Li and their joint actions.

After listening to the story, Chen Xueman finally understood why Shi Ya and Lin Shanshan had come here.

Although a lot has indeed happened during my absence.

But it wasn't the worst yet. The moment Brother Li established his foundation, he devoured him, making everything a done deal.

As for Lin Shanshan and Shi Ya.

These two people looked harmless and weren't very proactive.

By the time they realized what was happening, I had already taken advantage of Li Ge.

Chen Xueman continued chatting with Shi Ya.

Chen Xueman was very confident that she could gain the complete trust of such a young and innocent girl within two days.

Shi Ya also thought Chen Xueman was a good person, especially after hearing that Chen Xueman and Jiang Li had known each other since childhood, and that Chen Xueman had even told some interesting stories about Jiang Li's childhood. Shi Ya felt that Xueman was an even better person.

I have gained another close friend.

Just as Chen Xueman and Shi Ya were having a pleasant chat, there was another knock on the door.

"It's probably a delivery. Xueman, have some tea first, I'll go open the door."

Shiya stood up, straightened her dress, and walked towards the living room door.

Upon opening the door and seeing the girl standing there, Shi Ya's eyes flashed with surprise once more: "You are... Miss Jiang?"

When they were on a mission in Xi'an City, Jiang Yunxi was in charge of coordination, so how could Shi Ya not recognize her? "Yes, and you are?" Jiang Yunxi looked at Shi Ya curiously.

Jiang Yunxi couldn't possibly be unfamiliar with such a beautiful woman.

"Miss Jiang, I am Shi Ya," Shi Ya introduced herself with a smile.

"Shi Ya?" Jiang Yunxi looked at Shi Ya curiously, and then realized that it was the girl with disheveled hair.

"Shiya, isn't this Jiang Li's residence? What are you doing here?" Jiang Yunxi asked in confusion.

"I've been transferred to Linhai City, and I'm currently sharing an apartment with Jiang Li," Shi Ya explained simply. "Miss Jiang, you're also looking for Jiang Li, right? Come on in."

"Thanks."

Jiang Yunxi's feelings were quite complicated after seeing Shi Ya. She didn't know why Shi Ya had been transferred to Linhai City and even started sharing an apartment with Jiang Li.

Could it be that Shiya has become Jiang Li's girlfriend?
Jiang Yunxi had already become wary of Shi Ya.

But as soon as Jiang Yunxi walked into the living room and saw the girl sitting on the sofa, her wariness of Shi Ya instantly disappeared.

When Chen Xueman saw Jiang Yunxi, her heart skipped a beat.

Chen Xueman and Jiang Yunxi had no contact in this life, but they had a lot of contact in their previous life.

Chen Xueman and Jiang Yunxi are rivals in love. On the surface, nothing seems to be happening, but they are almost at each other's throats.

Only after Jiang Li's death did the two unite against a common enemy, first annihilating the demon race and then avenging Jiang Li.

Chen Xueman definitely didn't like Jiang Yunxi, but she didn't show it. Her expression remained calm, and she smiled slightly.

"Hello, my name is Chen Xueman. I'm Li-gege's childhood sweetheart. Is Miss Jiang Li-gege's friend?"

Jiang Yunxi looked at Chen Xueman but did not answer immediately.

After several seconds, Jiang Yunxi nodded: "We're friends."

"Miss Jiang, please have a seat and have some tea with us. Jiang Li will be back soon." Shi Ya led Jiang Yunxi to sit down.

"Thank you." Jiang Yunxi nodded, did not refuse, and sat down on the other side of the sofa.

The three of them chatted casually about various topics, and the atmosphere seemed quite pleasant.

However, for some reason, Shiya always felt that there was some hostility and wariness between them.

"Click."

An hour later, Jiang Li and Lin Shanshan returned home together, chatting and laughing. Lin Shanshan was carrying some groceries.

Looking at Jiang Yunxi and Chen Xueman sitting on the sofa, Jiang Li smiled and said, "You're both here. I'll cook for you tonight."

"Brother Li, let me help you." Chen Xueman sat up, acting as if she knew nothing about what was going on, still acting like Brother Li's good little sister.

“I’ll help too.” Jiang Yunxi also stood up.

The two women took the bags from Jiang Li and Lin Shanshan and went into the kitchen together.

At the same time, the calico cat inside the room raised its head and sniffed.

Strange, why does it smell like gunpowder?

[I've found that writing about love triangles suits me better, is easier to write, and people probably enjoy reading it more. As for other elements, like fight scenes, I feel I need to adjust the proportion of those elements.]
