I Want to Drink a Liter
Chapter 106 I want to drink ten liters
Xiao Shuyao had a nightmare in which she kept asking someone, "Is it really impossible to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots?"
Then, she waited from childhood to adulthood, from adulthood to old age, until her beauty faded and she died of depression.
Startled awake, Xiao Shuyao saw a cat lying on Zhang Chen... no, it was Bai Nuoyan.
"Sister Bai... what are you doing? Aren't you sleeping on the sofa? Why are you with Zhang Chen...?"
"Let's get some late-night snacks."
Bai Nuoyan didn't seem to intend to avoid Xiao Shuyao. Her movements were still far less skillful than Tu Shan Hansu's, but they were still barely adequate.
"This Nongfu Spring bottle isn't big enough. Go to my room and bring me a bucket."
Xiao Shuyao was still a little groggy from sleep, but she obeyed Bai Nuoyan's orders. However, she couldn't see clearly at night, and when she put on her slippers, she put them on backwards.
After all, humans are not like kittens. Cats can see very clearly at night, which is the best time for them to hunt and eat.
When she went next door and brought over a bucket as thick as her waist, she suddenly smelled a very strange fragrance. Hmm, it was the drink she had at Zhang Chen's house that afternoon.
Are they here too?
"Bring me the bucket. I'll give you a small bottle of Wahaha later. You've been craving it for a long time, but this jerk has never given it to you."
"Now, you've fulfilled your dream."
"Oh..." Xiao Shuyao put down the bucket, and only then did she see Bai Nuoyan...
"Mmm."
Sometimes, when people are shocked to a certain extent, they don't even have the strength to scream.
The girl covered her mouth tightly, as if she were witnessing a murder and body disposal scene, afraid of making a sound and getting involved.
However, Xiao Shuyao did not look away. As a creator, she had very little experience in this area, which led her to rarely mention such things in her book.
She was once illiterate, but now is her best chance to see a bigger and bigger world!
"Sister Bai, won't that wake him up?"
"No, I added something to his water glass, and no matter what I did, he wouldn't wake up."
"..." But what Xiao Shuyao actually wanted to say was that she had seen Zhang Chen open his eyes and even made a shushing gesture to her.
Some people are alive, but they are already dead.
However, Bai Nuoyan was too engrossed in the moment and did not notice this.
"Gurgle gurgle~"
As the moon dipped below the horizon, the birdsong began to rise, and the morning in the small town felt exceptionally peaceful.
When the birds fly past Zhang Chen's window, they stop to take a look, tilting their heads to examine him curiously.
But this time they only saw an evil mother cat, baring her teeth and hissing at them.
"Phew." Bai Nuoyan wiped the sweat from her forehead, then pricked Zhang Chen's fingertip with her fingernail, and finally dripped a few drops of blood into the large bucket labeled "Drinkable Water".
"This should smell the best."
Xiao Shuyao stared in disbelief, her eyes red and swollen, whether from staying up all night or from being frightened and crying, it was hard to tell.
A vampire? No wonder she's so fair-skinned and beautiful...
No, we're not even talking about vampires anymore. Is this really scientifically sound? How did they even do it?
A person will go into shock if they lose a few hundred milliliters of blood.
That's almost several liters!
"Here you go." After carrying the bucket back to her room, Bai Nuoyan brought back two bottles of Wahaha.
Of course, it's not the original; it just uses a Wahaha bottle.
She handed one bottle to Xiao Shuyao, and kept the other for herself, taking sips every now and then.
"I added some honey water, drink it while it's hot, this is what he owes you."
Bai Nuoyan kicked the blanket with her small feet, covering Zhang Chen as if she were covering a corpse.
Xiao Shuyao held the Wahaha drink and nodded nervously.
The beverage is at a temperature close to human body temperature; it's neither too hot nor too cold in your hand, and the perfect temperature when you drink it.
It is indeed much fresher and sweeter than drinking it straight from the refrigerator, as it doesn't require as much alcohol to extend the shelf life and affect the flavor.
Xiao Shuyao didn't actually see the specific production process clearly, but it tasted really good, and she wanted to learn how to make it.
She thought she must have misread it, or perhaps she had fallen under Zhang Chen's illusion, probably because he didn't want outsiders to see the secret recipe for this delicious dish.
It can't really be that perverted.
With a slurping sound and a lingering fragrance on her lips, Xiao Shuyao's mood improved considerably. The breakfast vendors downstairs were already calling out their wares, and it was too late to go back to sleep now, so she might as well chat to relieve her boredom.
Zhang Chen, on the other hand, was actually able to fall asleep and even started snoring softly.
"Sister Bai, what do you mean he owes me? I don't remember anything about it."
Bai Nuoyan had already finished a bottle of Wahaha. Upon hearing this, a look of melancholy appeared on her pretty face.
She opened another bottle, biting the straw flat and holding it in her mouth.
"Ordinary people are reborn once every three hundred years, but you only had a second life after more than a thousand years. Do you know why?"
"Huh, what do you mean, one lifetime or two lifetimes?"
"If an ordinary person meets that Taoist and receives his blessings, it is a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes. Conversely, the longer one stays by his side, the less blessings one will receive, and the more blessings one will consume from all the lifetimes of good fortune."
"You have used up the blessings of more than ten lifetimes. I was afraid that you would suffer again in your next life, so I went to the Bitter Love Tree several times to pray that you would not be reincarnated."
"I couldn't stop him this time."
"You must have had a lot of trouble growing up, right? Suffering is the fertile ground for literature; otherwise, you wouldn't be showing off your writing, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuyao nodded dejectedly. In the past, her family often consulted fortune tellers to predict her fortune, but every fortune teller who saw her seemed to be seeing a jinx.
She lost her birth mother at birth, although her mother was just a one-night stand to her father... Later, one by one, her close friends at school fell apart. At first, it was just things like falling down or losing things, but then it was fractures and even serious illnesses.
She later learned that her family had specifically arranged for those people to shield her from the disaster.
After that, she refused to go to school and spent her days at home reading and studying on her own.
She gets cut by the pages of a book while reading, there's no seasoning packet in her instant noodles, the pull tab on her cans keeps falling off, and her hair can catch fire while using a hairdryer. Every joint in her body has been dislocated, and she's almost died from electric shocks more than ten times.
Once, she almost tumbled down the stairs while going upstairs, but a gust of wind caught her.
A smiling, middle-aged man came to visit her home, found her, and gave her a wordless book, saying it was a gift from over a thousand years ago, which he was now returning to her, and that she should remember to keep it safe.
After that, although she was still unlucky, she was not so unlucky as to commit heinous crimes. However, her family's stereotype of her remained, and they only wanted to sell her for a good price as soon as possible.
"Specifically, they are all sad stories."
Bai Nuoyan unknowingly downed another bottle, then let out a kitten-like burp. "I'm not going to say anything more. Just know that this person owes you a lot."
"Sister Bai, aren't you a normal person too?" Xiao Shuyao asked, looking at the cat hair on the ground.
"I've never hidden it from you," Bai Nuoyan said. "To be honest, I actually hope you can take care of him for me in the future."
"Should I take care of Zhang Chen...?"
"I don't trust anyone else." Bai Nuoyan pursed her lips. "He's no different from a thug now, he's available to any man, so you don't have to worry about a tragedy like the one in your past life happening again."
"Sister Bai, the Taoist priest you asked me to write about is actually Zhang Chenyao?"
Bai Nuoyan remained noncommittal.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Shuyao suddenly realized Bai Nuoyan's intention to entrust her with the care of her child, and felt an immense sense of responsibility and mission on her shoulders.
She wanted everyone to see this story—she was determined to.
"I'm full, do you still want to drink?" Bai Nuoyan patted her slightly bulging belly without any regard for her image and looked at Xiao Shuyao.
"I'm full too."
"If you need to drink more, just fill your own containers. Drinking more of this will help ward off bad luck."
"Just bite into it." Bai Nuoyan stretched, her canine teeth seeming much sharper than before. "Want me to demonstrate?"
The silver-haired girl's figure always made Xiao Shuyao feel inferior. A girl who is this beautiful is not just about looks, but about overall physical beauty and unique temperament.
In terms of appearance, everyone has their own merits, but considering the overall appearance, Xiao Shuyao admits that she can't achieve the same cat-like beauty as Bai Nuoyan, even in her stretching movements.
"Let's skip the demonstration..."
"Then I'm leaving. You can sleep a little longer if you want." Bai Nuoyan stood up.
"What are you doing so early, Sister Bai?"
The silver-haired girl walked up to Zhang Chen, stared at him intently, and said, "Preparing for pregnancy, and earning some money for baby formula on the side."
"Are you two getting married?!"
"I won't get married. He doesn't like me, and I don't like him either."
"That?"
"You don't need to care whether the other person likes you when you have a child. As long as you like them, that's all that matters. If the other person doesn't love you but is still with you, they're the one who will suffer."
"Oh...wait, then wouldn't that be what you like, Sister Bai...?"
Before Xiao Shuyao could finish speaking, Zi Nuoyan transformed into a streak of white shadows and disappeared.
After a few seconds of hesitation, the girl picked up her pen, laid the notebook flat on her lap, listened to Zhang Chen's snoring, and smelled the strange fragrance in the room as she came up with a title for the story she was going to write.
The book is called...The Tale of Yan Chen.
Zhang Chen slept for a long time because he was too exhausted.
I feel completely drained.
However, he initially acquiesced to Bai Nuoyan's behavior, since the fox had done the same thing, and he had to treat everyone fairly.
But then things started to go wrong, perhaps as a side effect of time travel. After the bucket overflowed, he fainted.
When she woke up again, she checked her phone and realized she had actually slept for two days. Bai Nuoyan and Xiao Shuyao were no longer in the room.
When he saw the news notification on his phone, he felt as if he had been in a different world. He quickly checked the date again to make sure that he had only slept for two days, not been in a coma for two years.
Since news is recommended by big data, if he frequently browses news about Li Yinuo and Lin Yinmeng, these are the news recommendations he'll receive:
#Xiao Shuyao, a talented woman from Peking University, gave up the Newcomer Award and simultaneously launched a new book, preparing to compete for the Mao Dun Literature Prize.
#Li Yinuo won the newcomer award by chance, expressed her intention to compete for the Mao Dun Literature Prize, and soon released her third book.
#Xiao Shuyao finished her manuscript in two days and released her new book "Yan Chen Zhuan" for free. The title is similar to Li Yinuo's new book!
#Lin Yinmeng releases an album after many years, titled "Dream Dust Song".
# Are the novels "Yan Chen Zhuan", "Yi Chen Zhuan", and "Meng Chen Qu" coincidences or staged incidents?
#Zhihu blogger Jiangjiangjiang writes a lengthy article of over 10,000 words analyzing the new works of three people, which are related to unofficial historical legends...
#In a corner no one cared about, Ning'an's pet rescue station became a hit.
#China plans to upgrade Nanjing University's ranking, significantly increase financial investment, address development shortcomings, improve development quality, and promote a new civilized atmosphere...
Locals in Ning'an say the recent surge in tourists has disrupted their daily lives.
What the hell is this?
Zhang Chenguang went through them one by one, which took him half an hour.
His eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling. After washing up, he went out, only to find that Bai Nuoyan's room door was ajar.
"Mmm mmm..."
The voice didn't sound like Bai Nuoyan.
Zhang Chen pushed open the door and saw a blue-haired girl who looked like a middle school student, gulping down water from a bucket bigger than her head...
"Long Luoyang?"
Zhang Chen was stunned, and so was Xiaolongniang.
Oh no! The Dragon Girl smelled the food that the silly cat hoarded. She'll probably cry herself to death when Bai Nuoyan comes back next time.
Little Dragon Girl ignored him and continued drinking, even sticking her head inside the bucket and licking it clean.
After finishing her drink, she let out a cute "woof".
"Boom boom boom~" A rumble of thunder came from beyond the sky, and the electric vehicle alarm downstairs went off with a "whoosh whoosh whoosh".
The little dragon girl's eyes were cold, as if she felt guilty. She slowly retreated, about to transform into a little dragon and fly away.
But Zhang Chen grabbed her soft, delicate feet, and with a surge of his yang energy, she convulsed slightly, kneeling on the ground like a little duck, staring at him expressionlessly.
"Touch my feet, and Da Luoyang will beat you to a pulp." Little Dragon Girl's tone was icy.
"Why have you shrunk again? What are you doing here?" Zhang Chen ignored her threat.
"Da Luoyang needs to rest, I'll eat," said Little Dragon Girl. "The kitten hid some delicious food."
Got it. Use the big one for work, and the small one for meals.
"What does Da Luoyang usually do?"
"Eat, sleep, and fry up Fusang." Little Dragon Girl tilted her head.
"...Besides this?"
"I miss you..." she said.
Zhang Chen paused for a moment. The words "Little Dragon Girl" were not very harmful, but they were extremely penetrating.
He couldn't help but recall the heart-wrenching emotions he felt during his last regression.
The backtracking is effective and can influence the banshee's current state, but it's unclear whether there will be a butterfly effect...
Zhang Chen felt that there hadn't been much change; this kind of change that transcended time and space seemed to only affect the person himself.
Or perhaps there are some minor changes that Zhang Chen is unaware of for the time being.
"I miss you, my love." Little Dragon Girl suddenly finished speaking a complete sentence.
"?"
'
While Zhang Chen was stunned, the little dragon girl suddenly grew larger, transforming into a slender and mature woman. She pressed him against the door frame, her beauty unparalleled, her golden dragon eyes exuding an imposing aura: "Zhang Chen, you'd better not mess around with those little tricks. Just focus on your tree and don't worry about anything else."
"Also, fill up another bucket for me. I'll come back for it next time. Who's going to eat this little bit?"
"That's ten liters, sister," Zhang Chen said, embarrassed.
"Not enough." Long Luojue glanced at him lightly, his body uncontrollably shrinking again.
"That book, is it yours?" she asked one last time before shrinking.
Zhang Chen was confused.
Since Long Luoyang could not get an answer, he shrank, transformed into a dragon, and vanished on the clouds.
On a whim, Zhang Chen stood on the windowsill and activated his [Beast Eyes] to see how she flew.
He was so engrossed in watching that he forgot to adjust the settings and turned on the highest resolution.
Upon seeing this, the entire city of Ning'an seemed to tremble.
