Another bright, sunny day dawned. Xu Jiang slept until noon before finally recovering his senses.
He could not help it—he had been too exhausted last night. He had rushed to the company infirmary to treat the corpse poison, and it had already been the middle of the night by the time he returned to his room.
The moment he fell into bed and closed his eyes, his dreams were filled with zongzi everywhere. What a curse...
After getting up, Xu Jiang washed up in a daze. The moment he stepped out of the dormitory, he ran into Baozi again.
"Morning! Xu Jiang."
"Morning! You're in such a rush. Did the team get a mission early this morning?"
"No! The captain and the others are wrapping zongzi."
"What? More zongzi?!" Xu Jiang reacted on instinct, slapping the pendant on his chest as Qianji flowed across his entire body.
Baozi hurriedly grabbed him. "Don't! Don't get worked up. There's no fighting—calm down."
Zongzi had already left Xu Jiang on edge. His first instinct was to draw his gun.
Fortunately, these really were zongzi this time.
Following Baozi into the reception hall, Xu Jiang found it packed with people.
Sha Tu was repairing Xiao Zhen's mechanical dog, while Ying Xiaoxiao sat amid a group of middle-aged women, chatting enthusiastically with them and happily wrapping zongzi together.
The kind wrapped in bamboo leaves with glutinous rice. Edible, and not aggressive.
Xu Jiang sighed in relief, dismissed his mech armor, and waved off the green zongzi offered to him.
"You don't like them? They just came out of the pot."
Xu Jiang rolled his eyes at Baozi. You drink cereal yourself, yet you want me to eat zongzi!
After seeing so many zongzi last night, who would still have the appetite to eat them? Better
