The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Chapter 145 My damn charm

Jiang Tunan was on the run again, and she was really broken down.

"Jiang Shouyan, I quit! Take me away!"

Jiang Tunan pushed aside the bushes in front of him and ran forward desperately, not daring to stop at all.

"However, we can take turns, one for each of us for one day. That way, you work the day shift and I work the night shift."

The only response to Jiang Tunan was the occasional sound of wind brushing past his ears.

"I want to go home..."

Jiang Tunan felt like crying.

In the woods, a dishevelled girl was stumbling forward, her face was covered in mud and dust, and her eyes were slightly red.

Jiang Tunan thought, if there were cameras in this era, he would be able to take a lot of photos now.

Just when Jiang Tunan was getting ready to urinate a few drops of cat urine, he suddenly stepped on empty air and fell straight down.

Jiang Tunan: Damn it, why is there a steep slope here?

Destroy it, really.

Jiang Tunan closed her eyes tightly and hugged her head with both hands, hoping that she would not be hurt too seriously, either to prevent her from dying or to let her die directly, but not to leave her half dead.

However, the expected pain did not come. Instead, Jiang Tunan fell into an embrace with a fresh breath. The hands holding her were very strong. Jiang Tunan, based on the consciousness of survival, did not see clearly who the person was, and directly grabbed the clothes on the man's chest tightly.

"Cousin, it's okay."

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Tunan immediately looked up and met the visitor's eyes.

"Cousin Mingrui!"

Jiang Tunan's voice gradually choked up. God knows, seeing Xiao Mingrui at this moment was no different from seeing a relative. She felt extremely safe.

Xiao Mingrui still had that cold expression, but in Jiang Tunan's eyes, Xiao Mingrui was glowing all over. Even his expressionless face that hadn't changed for a hundred years seemed pleasing to Jiang Tunan's eyes.

"Cousin Mingrui, why are you here?"

Xiao Mingrui should be in Kyoto. Calculating the date, the Imperial College has already started. How could he be in Yuxi County?

"I came here to find you."

"Then I am so touched~ Cousin~ Woohoo~ You are so nice~"

Jiang Tunan sniffed his nose vigorously, then grabbed Xiao Mingrui's sleeve and wiped his tears. It was true that the material of Xiao Mingrui's clothes was really good. It didn't hurt his eyes at all when he used it to wipe his tears.

"Don't worry, cousin. I will follow your lead from now on. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I will never chase a chicken!"

Xiao Mingrui felt a little helpless. He took out a plain handkerchief from his clothes and handed it to Jiang Tunan, wanting her to wipe the dirt off her face herself.

"Thank you, cousin."

Jiang Tunan took Xiao Mingrui's handkerchief and began to blow his nose. Xiao Mingrui was very thoughtful.

Xiao Mingrui: ...

It doesn’t matter, Xiao Mingrui comforted himself in his heart, he still had the handkerchief.

Jiang Tunan was still talking incessantly about everything he had experienced in the past few days. After wandering outside for so long, Jiang Tunan finally understood for sure that the life of being a parasite in the Xiao Mansion was suitable for him.

"Cousin Mingrui, there are bandits in this forest. We have to leave quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if they catch up with us."

Xiao Mingrui took out another handkerchief from his clothes and helped Jiang Tunan wipe the dirt off her face while listening to her talk.

"Well, come back with me first."

Xiao Mingrui put away his handkerchief, his voice as calm as ever. Jiang Tunan gave him a thumbs up behind his back in appreciation. Someone as emotionally stable as Xiao Mingrui is perfect for working in the emergency room.

"Let's go."

Xiao Mingrui gestured to Jiang Tunan to walk in front, but as soon as Jiang Tunan raised his foot, he felt discomfort in his ankle. He couldn't keep his balance after exerting a little force and almost fell to the side.

A steady and strong hand supported Jiang Tunan. Jiang Tunan looked up and met Xiao Mingrui's gaze, and said embarrassedly,

"Maybe it just got twisted."

Xiao Mingrui did not show any impatience, but walked to Jiang Tunan and squatted down.

"Come on up, I'll carry you."

Look, look, what a good person Xiao Mingrui is. I was a little dissatisfied with him before. I really don’t know what’s good for me.

"It's not the first time I've carried you on my back, why are you hesitating?"

"No~why would I hesitate~"

Jiang Tunan climbed onto Xiao Mingrui's back with confidence. The moment Xiao Mingrui stood up, a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Tunan leaned his head on Xiao Mingrui's shoulder and took a nap with his eyes slightly closed.

"Do you regret it?"

Xiao Mingrui in front suddenly spoke.

"what?"

"If you had left with me directly at the beginning, none of what you experienced later would have happened."

Jiang Tunan answered almost immediately, in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "No regrets."

Xiao Mingrui seemed to pause, and then he continued,

"Why do you put yourself in danger time and again for some strangers?"

Jiang Tunan sighed deeply and began to recall.

"If you're asking why I didn't leave with you that time, it was because Chunhua was still in the dungeon. Whenever I encountered difficulties before, she was always by my side to protect me. Since she treated me with sincerity, I naturally had to return my sincerity."

Xiao Mingrui didn't say anything, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

“As for rescuing those doctors, I originally didn’t want to get involved, but when I accidentally broke in for the first time, their first reaction was not to ask me to rescue them, but to hope that I, who was outside the cage, could leave safely and take the secrets of the dungeon with me.

I think such a righteous man should not be buried so hastily, so let's save him."

Jiang Tunan spoke in a lazy tone, as if he was not the one who had experienced those things.

"What else? I heard...you also saved Master Wen Zhu, why?"

"Oh, you mean Wen Zhu. That time I just suddenly didn't want to live anymore. I didn't mean anything else, hahaha."

Xiao Mingrui: ...?

Seeing Xiao Mingrui's constipated expression, Jiang Tunan laughed out loud.

"Master, it's been a long time since you've had such an expressive face."

Xiao Mingrui was speechless. He really shouldn't have expected Jiang Tunan to say anything serious.

"I'm sorry, cousin."

Jiang Tunan was confused. Why did he apologize for no reason?

"Why are you apologizing for no reason? According to the script, you should stab me after you apologize."

Xiao Mingrui had just thought of a lot of words, but now he was at a loss after hearing Jiang Tunan's words.

"In the future, read less storybooks..."

"Then why are you apologizing?"

Xiao Mingrui looked conflicted, but he finally made up his mind to speak.

"When you first came into the mansion, I always suspected that you had other intentions, so I had many doubts about you. But after this incident, I realized that my cousin is not a cunning person, but has a sincere heart. I was narrow-minded before, so I apologize to you."

"I know, I can see it."

Jiang Tunan actually understood a long time ago that at the beginning of the Xiao Mansion, except for Xiao Huaimin who sincerely wanted him to stay, the rest of the people either disliked him or had reservations about him.

Even the reason why I met Sister Yun Qing in the beginning was because I was able to help Xiaobao with his condition.

"Aren't you angry?"

"What's so good about this?"

Xiao Mingrui was silent, then spoke again,

"If others misunderstand you, or even criticize you behind your back, or give you some undeserved names, wouldn't you be angry?"

Jiang Tunan shook his head.

"I'm not angry. They say bad things about me behind my back, so why wouldn't I say bad things about others behind their backs? Besides, their insults may not be as bad as mine."

Xiao Mingrui choked, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"My cousin is really... open-minded. I really look at her in a different light."

Perhaps because he and Xiao Mingrui were no longer as submissive as before, Jiang Tunan suddenly wanted to sell swords.

"I understand. It's because I'm too outstanding. It's normal for cousin Mingrui to be attracted to me. Sometimes I'm also troubled. What should I do if I'm too popular?"

Xiao Mingrui:?

"Alas~ my damned charisma that has nowhere to go~"

Xiao Mingrui: "Jiang Tunan, if you say one more word, I will throw you down now."

Jiang Tunan instantly became timid, and made a zipper-like gesture with his mouth, pinching his throat and saying,

"Little mouth, don't speak; little ears, listen to you."

Jiang Tunan: Hehehe.

Xiao Mingrui: No, hehe.
