Fate is something only you can bear; don't interfere with others.
However, Jiang Kehan did not have this concept; her thinking was still based on some of the original ideas from her previous life.
Even after paying someone, you still have to buy them some cigarettes and alcohol to give them when you ask for a favor.
Not to mention something as simple as handing out water.
"Okay." Jiang Kehan did not refuse, but instead said sincerely and directly, "Please add my name when you drink, but I don't like to drink expensive wine."
“Of course.” Hannah caught her breath and stood next to Jiang Kehan.
The witch was very susceptible to sincerity, and how could Hannah not have guessed that the little guy Qin Luoyu brought was from her tavern?
The subtext of asking Jiang Kehan to have a drink was that he would support her when he had time.
Jiang Kehan's directness was actually intended to dissuade Hannah from buying expensive wine as a form of support.
Sometimes, a witch who yearns for sincerity often feels surprisingly awkward in a social setting that emphasizes non-interference.
However, what the two are most concerned about now is the staff that has revealed its true form.
It lay quietly on the anvil, looking even more exquisite than the one in the virtual net; Hannah's mastery of the extreme cold made it appear flawless.
Is this my staff?
With Hannah's nod, Jiang Kehan slowly reached out and touched it, the smooth surface reflecting Jiang Kehan's slightly excited face.
When she touched it, the cat-shaped floating cannons and mechs swayed gently, like cats trying to charm their owners.
"It seems they like you too."
Upon seeing this scene, Hannah couldn't help but laugh and casually turned away.
"Let's go. Qin Luoyu is still up there. We can pay her later."
She thought highly of this gentle girl and didn't care much about the reward.
However, in the end, Jiang Kehan still risked going broke for the next few days and paid the money in full.
Chapter 189 I Want to Go Fishing
"Is this your excuse for freeloading off me?"
Ariel stared blankly at Jiang Kehan, who was eating and drinking heartily. In her eyes, Jiang Kehan was now on par with the orange dragon.
If white dragons are synonymous with cunning and elegance...
That orange dragon species is synonymous with having a thicker skin than a wall and eating more than a pig.
If I had to describe him in one word, it would be "simple-minded," so simple-minded that he's like an idiot.
Ai Li'er originally thought that Jiang Kehan would come to her house on Sunday, a day with a special meaning—the basement where their society was located.
Even if you don't say you're there to get close to her, you should at least want to hang out with her or go for a stroll in the streets.
So you just came here to freeload?
Are you a pig? Why do you like to eat so much?
"Cough cough, how can you bear to let me go hungry?" Jiang Kehan choked a little while eating too fast and couldn't help but cough twice, but she was already full, so she simply put down her chopsticks.
She patted her little belly contentedly, then turned her head and looked at Ariel with a pitiful expression.
Ariel didn't answer, she just kept looking at Jiang Kehan with a sidelong glance.
Sister, I know you very well.
"Sigh." Ariel gave up helplessly and sighed softly, "Are you full? If you're not full, I'll make you some more."
She knew Jiang Kehan too well. The other person really disliked being indebted to others, but allowed others to be indebted to her. She wondered what was going through Jiang Kehan's mind all day long.
Jiang Kehan is also particularly stubborn. Even though she's penniless right now, she'll get really angry if you try to give her some money for an emergency.
Hmm... Ariel looked at her small wallet lying to the side and felt like she was the other person's overly concerned mother.
"Of course!" Jiang Kehan raised her hand, looked at the clean plate in front of her, and showed a slightly shy smile.
"I'd like to take one to go!"
A vein seemed to bulge on Ariel's forehead; the other party's actions of eating and taking things at the same time were truly suffocating for her.
"I give up."
She walked toward the kitchen with her head down and eyes vacant to pack food for Jiang Kehan.
Although Ariel seemed a little annoyed, she still packed four days' worth of food for Jiang Kehan to ensure that she could eat her fill before she had money.
When she came out with the food, she said to Jiang Kehan in an annoyed tone.
"Remember to leave yourself enough money for food before making a decision next time."
"Hehe." Jiang Kehan tilted her head cutely, placed her hands between her legs, held onto the edge of the chair cushion, and gently swayed her body.
"I promise it won't happen again, but Ariel, aren't your two mothers here today?"
Jiang Kehan looked at Ai Lier, who had sat down, with some curiosity.
Sunday is a private time for witches; even the official authorities and witch organizations have a system of rotating weekends off.
Not to mention, according to Jiang Kehan's understanding, Ai Li'er's two mothers are freelancers, so there's no reason for them not to be at home.
"Not here." Ariel lay on the table, lowering her voice so that only she could hear the last part of her sentence.
"Silly Kehan, that's why I thought you came to play with me."
Ariel's two mothers, like their hair color, inherited the British Empire's philosophy of "mothers and daughters not interfering with each other's professions."
They didn't want Ariel to be involved in so-called freelancing like themselves; instead, they hoped Ariel could have her own path.
Moreover, their so-called freelance work is actually smuggling.
But Ariel's two mothers knew very well that Ariel's dedication to management was because she wanted to make a contribution to them.
So their mentality is somewhat like that of a mafia godfather who doesn't want his children to be involved in his industry.
To prevent Ariel from spending all her time amidst gunfire like they did, they deliberately avoided meeting her in person, usually exchanging feelings online.
"I see..." Jiang Kehan looked at Ai Li'er and couldn't help but offer a word of comfort.
"They must have had a very tough time to be able to come back, it's okay."
Of course I know they work very hard... Ariel puffed out her cheeks and said in a muffled voice, "Well, I didn't mean to blame them."
So-called interdimensional smuggling often doesn't involve secretly going to other worlds to steal special resources.
This situation requires spending a lot of time to find the right target, and success is not guaranteed every time, which is not worthwhile for the witch.
More often than not, they are hired to follow the Great Witch in invading other planets, thereby obtaining a large amount of extra loot and special "concepts".
After all, war is the best time to plunder wealth.
For a normal witch, what they care about is the planet itself. As long as the environment and civilization on the planet are not destroyed, nothing else matters.
This gave the hired witches the opportunity to smuggle goods.
However, although the middle witches are not harmed too much under the protection of the Great Witch, the hardship they endure is almost on par with the enormous profits, only the money comes quickly.
Crossing mountains and valleys is a minor matter; what's terrifying is that a witch often has to deal with over a million enemies, and time is of the essence.
Moreover, none of the planets that the Great Witch has taken a liking to are simple.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Ariel's delicate eyelids fluttered slightly, trying to hide the regret in her eyes and make herself appear as if nothing was wrong.
But her small hands under the table gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, showing some resentment.
"It's just in time that Kehan is here. Let's discuss what to do for the school team gathering." Ai Li'er tried to use work to hide her frustration and didn't dare to look Jiang Kehan in the eye.
However, despite Ariel's best efforts to avoid eye contact with Jiang Kehan, Jiang Kehan still clearly sensed the other's inner feelings.
"Well, I don't know much about what fun places there are in Pingjiang City. I basically just go back and forth between school and home every day."
"If it's just about having a meal in Gulinfang, it doesn't feel quite right."
Jiang Kehan was folding armor around herself, but the dagger hidden inside was soon revealed.
She also imitated Ariel, lying on the table and smiling as she looked at the other person and spoke.
"How about we go wherever you want to go, and have some fun together!"
"Besides, since your two mothers aren't home often, you don't get many opportunities to have such a lively time!"
Jiang Kehan shrewdly noticed the surprise and excitement in Ai Lier's eyes, and before the other could react and refuse, she nodded on her own.
"It's decided then. You have to come up with a fun and interesting place within ten seconds, or if everyone doesn't have fun, I'll sell you out!"
She mischievously stuck out her tongue, giving Ariel no chance to refuse.
You...you're a scoundrel!
Ariel's eyes were a little wet. She buried her head in the circle of her arms, not knowing what to say or how to refuse.
Nobody plays like that, Jiang Kehan!
You're the most cunning witch in the world! You always know how to bully me when I'm easily swayed. You wicked witch...
Despite thinking this way, Ai Li'er knew that she had been taken down by Jiang Kehan.
She was already at the mercy of the other party, so all she could do was jump around a bit to indicate that she was actually "unwilling".
But no matter what, she is still Ariel.
That intelligent, strong, and optimistic Ariel.
So she gave in without any backbone.
"I'd like to go fishing……"
"I want to too." The cunning Jiang Kehan bared her fangs, piercing Ai Li'er's heart with the softest tone but the most ruthless words.
Now, Ariel's eyes really needed to pee.
Chapter 190? Me?
Jiang Kehan looked at her with amusement and her eyes were very gentle.
Normally, it is Ai Cuqiu (6) Si Liu (7U) Ba II.Q=Qi Li'er who takes care of her. Just like this time, when she encounters a problem, she will happily come to find the other party.
And Ariel would patiently play along with her antics until they were both tired from laughing and lay down together, gazing gently into each other's eyes and finding their own reflections in each other's eyes.
