“Sister, sister… Xiaorou can’t eat anymore…”
With her cherry-red lips slightly pouted, Sun Jiao turned around and put her arm around Jiang Chen’s neck. With a sweet smile, she whispered in her dream.
“Just sleep for a bit longer.”
Looking at the peaceful sleeping beauty, Jiang Chen smiled.
No wonder they are sisters. The way they look in their sleep is exactly the same.
But because he was observing too closely, he noticed the unnaturalness of Sun Jiao’s face.
“Hmmm… you’re awake, right?”
Just as he said those words, he saw Sun Jiao’s long eyelashes move.
Although her trick was spotted, Sun Jiao didn’t plan to just let him escape. Her lips slightly opened and exaggerated snoring drifted out between her lips.
This girl…
Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.
“Get up, there is still something we must do. Don’t stay in bed too long.”
Just when Jiang Chen tried to tickle Sun Jiao, Sun Xiaorou on the other side began to move.
“Hey, you noticed.”
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and wobblingly sat up. Sun Xiaorou, still not completely awake yet, smiled at Jiang Chen with blushed cheeks. Her messy hair did not interfere with her beauty. Nor did the loose pajamas on her body. Instead, they added a unique charm to her.
Sun Xiaorou watched Jiang Chen stare at her and she tilted her head. Then she smiled with a bit of confusion and a bit of shyness before she put her finger on her lips.
“Before saying good morning… don’t you want to do something first?”
…
Although he really wanted to do something, rationality ultimately won.
Jiang Chen snuck out from the bedroom, took some winter clothes from the bedside table, and got dressed. He leaned down and kissed the two on the forehead before he left the bedroom. When he went downstairs, Yao Yao, who was yawning, had already put delicious breakfast on the table.
As for the foodie Lin Lin, she already began to eat…
Jiang Chen moved a chair over and sat next to Yao Yao who happily pressed her little head against his shoulder and her pair of feet swayed in happiness.
With how sleepy Yao Yao looked, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a little distressed.
Her symptoms of lethargy never went away despite her nutrition improving and her anemia being cured. There were even signs of aggravation. Her explanation was that the inhibitors used for the hibernation chambers had side effects similar to allergy symptoms, but Jiang Chen always suspected that it may be not as simple as the inhibitor’s side effects…
“Sister Sun Jiao and Sister Sun Xiaorou are still sleeping?”
“You don’t have to wake them up, let the two sleepy heads sleep for a bit longer,” Jiang Chen said while he rubbed Yao Yao’s fluffy hair.
“Hmm.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Yao Yao shook her head and began to pout.
Jiang Chen looked at Yao Yao, slightly confused.
It may be his illusion, but he felt that the little girl’s emotion seemed to be low.
Is it because she didn’t sleep well?
“If you feel like you didn’t sleep enough, don’t force yourself, or… go back to sleep for a bit longer?”
“No need, Yao Yao has already woken up.” The small head shook back-and-forth as she clearly tried to act strong.
“It’s all because you are here, that’s why Yao Yao is getting up so early. If it’s normal days, I’m usually the one who prepares breakfast,” Lin Lin chewed on an egg roll and glared at Jiang Chen.
“Not at all! Obvi…obviously I just happened to get up today…” Yao Yao blushed and eyed Lin Lin, but her eyes didn’t show any fierceness.
“Humph,” Lin Lin swallowed the food in her mouth and spat out her tongue. With a tone of preaching, she began to lecture, “The delicious egg roll cannot fly into my mouth. If you don’t let some big bad guy know, he will take your efforts for granted. If you just watch in silence, your presence will be lower and lower. Until in the end, your feelings will be like your height, always so little.”
After leaving these words, Lin Lin did not give Yao Yao a chance to respond. She quickly put the last piece of egg roll into her mouth, took her plate, and headed to the kitchen.
“It won’t happen…” Lin Lin’s words seemed to pull a string in Yao Yao’s mind. Yao Yao pouted while her hands gently dragged onto Jiang Chen’s sleeves and tightened. She lowered her head while she muttered, “Humph, why are you acting cool, obviously you… you… can’t grow taller too.”
Grow taller?
Yao Yao should still be able to grow taller?
Lin Ling shouldn’t be able to grow taller. After all, the bones were replaced with titanium alloys. If she can grow taller, then that’s an issue.
Without understanding the conversation between Lin Lin and Yao Yao, Jiang Chen sat there, completely lost with half of an egg roll still stuffed in his mouth.
What’s happening today?
After he finished breakfast, Jiang Chen forcibly stopped Yao Yao from doing dishes and even picked up her up to send her to bed.
Jiang Chen saw the little girl blush as he tucked her in, leaned down, and kissed her on her forehead before he left the bedroom.
Back in the kitchen, Jiang Chen was about to clean up the plate, only to find that everything was cleaned.
He quickly realized what happened and smiled at the sight.
Although he always bantered with Lin Lin, he always knew that contrary to her bad mouth, Lin Lin was actually a very gentle person, just unable to express her feeling, or expressed it in the oddest way…
As he pushed open the door, the icy wind gusted into his face. He moved his stiff limbs passed the door before he ventured into the wind.
It was mid-September, but the wind brought on the resemblance of winter.
With Cheng Weiguo, Zhao Guang and several guards, Jiang Chen stepped onto the wall of the Fishbone Base
After the soldiers on duty saw him, they turned to face him, straightened their back and saluted. Their pupils were filled with respect and pride from the bottom of their heart. In NAC’s territory, and even to the more distant south, California, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean… The NAC General was a fabled name.
Jiang Chen looked at the rundown high-rise buildings outside the city wall and suddenly asked.
“Where did the wind blow from?”
Cheng Weiguo quickly thought about it and replied immediately.
“It should be from the north.”
Jiang Chen nodded and set his eyes to the far north and spoke to himself.
“Did the northern wind already start to blow?”
It’s getting colder and colder
