Chapter 168 - 168 151 The Sense of Ritual in Home

Chapter 168: Chapter 151: The Sense of Ritual in Home Chapter 168: Chapter 151: The Sense of Ritual in Home “Ahhhh, just kill me, it’s like I’m watching a romance reality show!”

“Wuwuwu, do friends nowadays have to act like they’re proposing? The snow falling is just too fitting, it’s so romantic.”

“No, no, no, it’s sisterly love! Let’s keep it low-key, everyone. If we get too crazy shipping them, I’m worried they’ll start avoiding each other in the future.”

“Yes, yes, there have been too many precedents. The two female leads in a certain blockbuster movie ended up like this, acting like strangers in public later on, even though they got along really well during filming, which is such a shame.”

“I know, I know, but I just can’t help but be moved. I hope Wenyan’s fans and Wanwan’s fans can get along as well as they do.”

“I’m a Wenyan fan, as long as the Wenwan sisters don’t break up, I’m always here.”

“I’m a Wanwan fan, as long as the Wenwan sisters don’t break up, I’m always here too.”

“Wow, I really like the combination ‘Wenwan’.”

–

Jiang Wanwan was quite happy as she looked at Wenyan, and she suddenly had an idea.

“You watch the soup for a moment. I’ll be right back.”

Having said that, Jiang Wanwan stood up and left.

Seeing that she wasn’t heading inside the house, Wenyan quickly asked her, “It’s getting dark, where are you going?”

“Don’t worry,” Jiang Wanwan smiled at Wenyan, “I’m not going far, I’ll just find something and come right back.”

Wenyan nodded, “Then hurry up! I’ll wait for you.”

Although she said that, Wenyan didn’t take her eyes off Jiang Wanwan.

Even though she wasn’t going somewhere far, this place was, after all, an uninhabited wilderness, and with nightfall approaching, even if Jiang Wanwan was just a few dozen steps away, Wenyan still felt a bit worried.

After walking a few steps, Jiang Wanwan looked back and saw that Wenyan was watching her. Having been caught, Wenyan smiled at her;

By the time she arrived at her destination, she saw that Wenyan was still watching her, this time waving at her.

Jiang Wanwan couldn’t help thinking that this must be what friendship is.

Looking at the pile of scrap wood on the ground, her goal was clear, and she quickly picked up a piece.

Soon, she returned to Wenyan’s side.

Wenyan was curious, “What are you doing with that? It’s not meant for firewood, is it?”

“No. Let’s add a ceremonial touch.”

“What kind of ceremonial touch?” Wenyan became even more curious.

“You’ll know soon enough.” While speaking, Jiang Wanwan took out the dagger she carried with her.

“Oh~” Wenyan immediately guessed, “You know how to carve! Right?!”

“A little,” Jiang Wanwan admitted.

Impressed, Wenyan gave Jiang Wanwan a thumbs-up, “You really are amazing. What are you planning to carve?”

“Let’s carve both our names, like a nameplate for this cabin. Would you prefer I carve ‘Wen’ or ‘Yan’?”

“Yan! And for you, Wanwan, right?”

Jiang Wanwan nodded, “Okay, then ‘Yan Wan’.”

“Wait! If that’s the case, let’s go with ‘Wenwan’. I think it rolls off the tongue better! ‘Wenwan’, it suits our laid-back rhythm.”

“Alright.”

“Hmm… Maybe we should add another two characters. Can you fit four characters?”

“No problem, which two do you want to add?”

“How about ‘Home’? ‘Wenwan Home’? What do you think?”

“Perfect.”

Barrage: “Who understands, who really gets it! The Wenwan sisterhood, the original creators approve! I’m proudly waving my Wenwan sisters banner!!!”

–

Jiang Wanwan quickly got to work, while Wenyan watched her “showing off” her skills, stirring the soup in the pot.

By the time the soup boiled, Jiang Wanwan had already finished carving.

Wenyan expressed disbelief, “Quick! You really are too fast. Even with a knife not meant for carving, you can do it so well, I’m starting to suspect that the wood is actually made of tofu.”

Jiang Wanwan laughed and handed the wooden plaque and dagger to Wenyan, “Want to try?”

Wenyan was indeed interested.

However, because she didn’t apply force correctly, she almost carved into her own hand.

Jiang Wanwan quickly took the knife back from her hand, “Forget it, better give it back to me. You might not be quite suited for this.”

Wenyan nodded, “I think so too. But I’m still quite curious…”

Although she knew that all of Wenyan’s skills were attributed to Jiang Wanwan by the original author of the book.

The Jiang Wanwan sitting beside her now was a living breathing person, not the paper cutout she had read about in the novel.

“How come you know so many things? And you seem to be very skilled at each one?”

“Hmm…” At this topic, Jiang Wanwan’s eyes flickered with a hint of confusion, but she quickly answered, “Maybe it’s a talent. I learn things very fast, sometimes even I find it unbelievable, but I do learn quickly.”

“I see,” Wenyan nodded, realizing this was the protagonist’s halo, “Let’s go hang up the door plaque.”

“Okay.”

The doorway of the little cabin wasn’t high, and you even had to bend down to enter.

So they only had to stand to hang the door plaque.

After hanging it, Wenyan stepped back to admire their handiwork and couldn’t help exclaiming:

“We’re truly amazing, building a shelter from the elements with our own hands in the wilderness! Hanging this door plaque gives me a real sense of accomplishment, like a ceremony to celebrate our success. You’re simply awesome, my friend! Come on, let’s eat.”

Wenyan took the initiative to hold Jiang Wanwan’s hand.

Jiang Wanwan felt a bit uneasy for a moment, but she didn’t dislike Wenyan’s closeness.

Returning to the pot, Jiang Wanwan took the initiative to serve Wenyan a bowl of soup first.

These were wooden bowls they had made themselves, and the spoons and chopsticks as well.

The wooden bowls were thick; even filled with scalding hot soup, one wouldn’t feel the heat when holding them.

Wenyan thanked Jiang Wanwan as she took the bowl from her:

“Speaking of which, you’re the first female friend I’ve made in this circle.”

Although she got along well with Qin Yan in the first season, they hadn’t kept in touch privately, nor had they explicitly said they wanted to be friends on the show.

Jiang Wanwan glanced at Wenyan, “That’s a coincidence, you’re also the only friend I have in this circle.”

The only one? Wenyan was about to ask her how that could be possible.

She’s supposed to be the heroine!

Even she herself still had a friend like Wang Che.

But upon thinking it over carefully, Wenyan realized that precisely because of the protagonist’s halo, Jiang Wanwan always encountered antagonists while acting.

The other neutral characters would be considered good if they did not harm her, so making friends with them would probably be difficult.

After all, if a novel were as plain as water, it would be uninteresting. There must always be villains causing trouble and stirring up the plot.

If she were the protagonist of a novel, then bad characters around her would undoubtedly outnumber friends as well.

Thinking along these lines, Wenyan suddenly felt that being the heroine wasn’t easy after all.

Quietly, she scooped a piece of egg flower from her own bowl into Jiang Wanwan’s.

“You did more physical work today, eat more to replenish your strength.”
