Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 455: The Bug Inside the Quilt
Chapter 455: Chapter 455: The Bug Inside the Quilt
"Sure, as long as you like it."
Ye Mianmian had taken a liking to a box bed with hydraulic support.
It had a very thick pine board on top, paired with a painted headboard, which was the kind that was very easy to clean.
In addition, she chose a wardrobe.
It was a smaller one, probably made of plastic, the kind intended for children.
Given their current situation, the two of them didn’t have many clothes anyway, so this would be completely sufficient.
It also had so many drawers, perfect for storing lots of small items.
They also decided to take the small couch they had liked upon entering.
They also picked out a medium-sized low table, just right to be used as a coffee table.
Beyond that, there wasn’t much else.
Previously, Zhang Tiezhu had taken a desk, and they had no plans to return it.
Along with her own dressing table, which was also very important.
A simple home was almost ready.
For everyday items, they already had what they needed.
"Sister Yuan, we can also get a quilt. Let’s go together in a bit."
"Alright."
Normally, it’s best to use one’s own things for something like this, but they didn’t have one right now, so they had to look for something slightly better.
Once they got back, they could just dismantle and wash it.
The group arrived at the area designated for luggage storage.
Inside, items were a jumbled assortment, likely leftovers from previous residents and others brought up from the mountain.
"You can look around at these items, take whatever you like."
The manager didn’t have much patience and left after bringing them over.
"Thank you," they said politely.
It just so happened that Jiang Yuan and He Lan also came over.
"Yuanyuan, you guys are picking out luggage too!"
"Yeah!"
"He Lan didn’t bring any, so I came to help her pick out a set."
"Yeah!"
Jhiang Yuan didn’t say much, fearing that her junior sister might take issue with her.
"Sister Yuan, look at this red one, isn’t it particularly suitable for us?"
If they were getting married, naturally it was.
And the luggage was very large; it looked like it was meant for a couple.
Perhaps it was once the belongings of a newlywed couple.
Using it would be quite nice for them.
"Yeah, this one looks pretty new."
"You’re getting married, that’s really wonderful.
This one really is perfect, I like it too."
He Lan was unexpectedly forward, coming right over without invitation.
Jiang Yuan didn’t intervene, appearing as if he didn’t mind.
Ye Mianmian smiled faintly and then went to open the quilt to check its actual size.
Additionally, there were two other quilts on top of it.
They were loosely placed there; she would need to take them down or draw out the one she wanted.
"Wait a second."
Just as Mianmian was about to touch it, Jhiang Yuan reached out to stop her.
Ye Mianmian, puzzled, turned her head and asked.
"Sister Yuan, what’s wrong?"
"Mianmian, I thought I saw the quilt move just now."
"The quilt moved?
Sister Yuan, that can’t be."
Zhang Tiezhu also came over, but the quilt didn’t seem to respond at all!
"It might be my eyes playing tricks on me; I’m just worried there might be mice."
With that, she indicated the potential hazard: the cotton filling was the type that easily attracted mice, which found it warm and a good place to nest.
"Haha, Sister Jhiang Yuan, you’re overthinking it.
It was so cold before; even if there were any mice, they would have frozen to death.
No need for such a fuss, really, there’s nothing wrong. I’ll help you."
With that, He Lan prepared to step forward.
Ye Mianmian was also embarrassed, so she followed and tried to pull it out.
"Wait a minute~"
Jhiang Yuan’s voice was loud, startling them both, and Zhang Tiezhu and Jiang Yuan were startled, too.
"Sister Yuan, what’s the matter with you?"
He Lan also looked at her helplessly, gesturing to Jiang Yuan, as if she was being unreasonably troublesome.
"Better safe than sorry, Tiezhu, just now at the door, I saw a clothes prop. Go get it."
Seeing her seriousness, the rest of them became tense as well, except for He Lan.
"Alright, I’ll go now."
Zhang Tiezhu ran off right away.
"Sister Jhiang Yuan, aren’t you being a bit overcautious?
Besides, even if there is something, what harm can a single mouse do?"
"He Lan, mind your language**, you have no manners."
Jiang Yuan couldn’t stand her talking about Jhiang Yuan and scolded her right away.
"Brother, I’m just telling the truth. Are you not allowing me to speak now?"
As she spoke, her lips puckered up, obviously somewhat angry.
Jhiang Yuan had completely realized that this person definitely had feelings for Jiang Yuan.
She guessed that Jiang Yuan hadn’t thought in that direction, or there was some other reason; anyway, their relationship hadn’t developed to a conclusive stage.
"Sister Yuan, the clothes prop."
Zhang Tiezhu had returned, and she stopped watching the two of them.
She took it directly, ready to poke down the two quilts on top.
"I’ll do it!"
Before she could even start, Zhang Tiezhu actually went ahead, picked it up, and tossed it to the side.
She didn’t have time to stop him.
"It’s fine, even if there’s a mouse, I’m not afraid."
He even smiled, indicating that there really seemed to be no problem.
Jhiang Yuan didn’t bother anymore and took the clothes prop to start shoving at the red quilt.
The thing had a fork on the front.
There was also a small hook on the side, perfect for the task. freёnovelkiss.com
"It really seems like there was some movement inside, Yuanyuan, let me do it."
Jiang Yuan didn’t dare delay and directly took the clothes prop from her hands.
Men are stronger; he lifted the cover in one go.
At that moment, everyone’s scalp tingled.
No wonder Jhiang Yuan had said that; the surface was crawling with insects!
Various shades of red, with the background of red sheets, weren’t particularly obvious.
But that wriggling sensation was nauseating.
"Quick, get out fast."
However, it was already too late.
Those insects started to fall down with a crackling sound.
These were deadly creatures; everyone hastily leapt backward.
Jhiang Yuan took the ignition gun from behind her and aimed it at the bugs on the ground, spraying a burst of fire.
The insects quickly burst open, followed by waves of foul stench.
"Jiang Yuan, this won’t do; this place is going to catch fire.
But these things definitely can’t be saved."
If it had been her belongings, she would have made a decisive move already.
But the items here belonged to the state; she wasn’t in a position to decide.
And there were too many complications.
She didn’t want to cause trouble for herself.
"Burn them all. If there’s any problem, I’ll take responsibility."
"Okay!"
Now that he had said so, Jhiang Yuan didn’t hesitate anymore.
She aimed directly at the quilts beside her and fired the gun. They were flammable materials, and they immediately caught fire.
"Yuanyuan, move back."
Jiang Yuan shouted, and Zhang Tiezhu was also beside her, ready to protect her.
Ye Mianmian had already run out to call for help, while He Lan, who had never seen such a sight, was instantly terrified.
They were igniting the fire while retreating, fearing the danger.
"He Lan, come over here!"
Jiang Yuan had walked out and, realizing that she still hadn’t come over, immediately became anxious.
