After encountering Qi Xingzhou on the show this time, Jiang Ning realized that he seemed to particularly like following her around, just like a little tail. She had no doubt that if they were not on a desolate island but out in the open, she could take his silly, dazed self and drag him off to be sold.
However, having Qi Xingzhou tag along was fine at camp. Once she headed into the forest, Jiang Ning's speed and efficiency were much higher on her own.
With a pivot of her feet, Jiang Ning led Qi Xingzhou to sit in front of the fire, and under his puzzled gaze, she separated some firewood and said to him, "I'm giving you a task—to watch over this Langyan. When the wood in the fire is about to burn out, add two more pieces. Once all this wood has burned, I'll be back with something tasty."
Jiang Ning's deliberately softened voice was especially gentle and pleasant to the ear, but to anyone with clear insight, it was obvious she was coaxingly sweet-talking him.
