As the sky began to brighten, Jiang Chen opened his eyes and moved his shoulders slightly, but he found that his arms were firmly pressed down.
As if she sensed Jiang Chen's movement, Sun Xiaorou pursed her lips and changed to a more comfortable position. She continued to sleep on his arm.
"Sister, sister … Sigh … Xiaorou can't eat anymore …"
Her cherry-like red lips were slightly curled up as she mumbled and turned around. She wrapped her arms around Jiang Chen's neck and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She seemed to be coquettishly talking in her sleep.
"Let's sleep a bit more."
Looking at Sun Jiao's sleeping face, Jiang Chen's mouth curved up.
No wonder they were sisters. With a closer look, their sleeping faces were very similar.
Because of his careful observation, Jiang Chen quickly noticed the unnaturalness on Sun Jiao's face.
"I mean … you're already awake, right?"
As soon as Jiang Chen finished, he saw Sun Jiao's long eyelashes gently tremble.
Although her little trick was seen through, Sun Jiao didn't plan to let him go. Her lips slightly opened and soon an exaggerated and unnatural snore emerged from her lips.
[This girl …]
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile.
"Get up, I still have something to do. Don't stay in bed."
Just as Jiang Chen was about to take out his hand to tickle Sun Jiao, Xiaorou on the other side of him moved.
"Hehe, I was discovered."
Sun Xiaorou rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up shakily. She smiled at Jiang Chen drowsily with a blush still on her face. The slightly messy hair didn't ruin the beauty. With the loose pajamas on her body, it added an indescribable charm to her.
Xiaorou looked at Jiang Chen, who was motionless, and tilted her head. Her smile was a bit confused and shy. Her index finger gently tapped on her lips.
"Before saying good morning … don't you want to do something?"
…
Although he really wanted to do something, his rationality finally stood on his side.
He crawled out of the warm embrace, took the winter clothes on the bedside table, and put them on. Jiang Chen leaned down and kissed the two girls on their foreheads before he left the bedroom. When he went downstairs, Yao Yao, who was yawning, had already served the delicious breakfast on the table.
As for the foodie Lin Lin, she had already started eating …
She moved a chair and sat next to Jiang Chen. She happily rubbed her head against his shoulder, and the pair of feet wrapped in white silk dangled in the air.
Looking at Yaoyao's sleepy look, Jiang Chen felt heartache.
With the improvement of her nutritional status, Yaoyao's anemia had long been cured. However, her lethargy never subsided, and there were even signs of it getting worse. Her explanation was that the suppressant she injected when she was in the hibernation chamber had a side effect similar to allergies, but Jiang Chen felt that it was far more complicated than just the side effect of the suppressant.
"Sun Jiao, Sister Xiaorou, are you still awake?"
"No need to wake them up, let the two lazy bugs sleep for a bit longer." As he spoke, he lovingly stroked Yao Yao's fluffy hair.
"Oh."
"What happened?"
"It's nothing." Yao Yao shook her head and pouted her lips.
Jiang Chen looked at Yao Yao, puzzled.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the little girl's mood seemed to be a bit down.
Was it because she didn't sleep well?
"If you're not awake, don't force yourself. How about … I send you back to sleep?"
"No, no, Yao Yao is already awake." Yao Yao's head shook like a rattle drum as she tried to be brave.
"It's because you're here that Yao Yao woke up so early. Normally, I would be the one to prepare breakfast. "Lin Lin chewed on the egg pancake while glancing at Jiang Chen.
"Not at all, I just happened to wake up today …" Yao Yao blushed and stared at Lin Lin, but the animal-like eyes were not intimidating at all.
"Humph." After she swallowed the food in her mouth, Lin Lin stuck out her tongue and made a face. Then, she used a lecturing tone and said to Yao Yao, "The delicious egg pancake won't fly into your mouth by itself. If you don't let a certain bad guy know, he'll take your hard work for granted. If you keep watching silently, your sense of existence will become smaller and smaller. In the end, your feelings will be the same as your height, forever a tiny dot. "
Lin Lin didn't give Yao Yao a chance to react at all. She quickly stuffed the last piece of egg pancake into her mouth, picked up the plate, and walked to the kitchen.
"No way …" Yao Yao pouted as if she was provoked by Lin Lin's words. The hand that gently pulled on Jiang Chen's sleeve tightened. She buried her head and whispered, "Humph, why are you trying to act cool? You … you … you can't grow taller."
Can't grow taller?
Yao Yao should be able to grow taller, right?
Lin Lin didn't have a chance to grow taller at all. After all, her bones were replaced with titanium alloy. It would be a problem if she could grow taller.
Jiang Chen didn't understand the conversation between Lin Lin and Yao Yao. He sat there dumbfounded with half an egg pancake in his mouth.
[What's going on today?]
After breakfast, Jiang Chen forcibly stopped Yao Yao from washing the dishes. He even carried her in a princess carry before he coaxed her back to bed.
Looking at the blushing little girl, Jiang Chen covered her with the quilt, leaned down, and kissed her on the forehead. Finally, he rubbed her hair and told her to sleep for a while before he left the bedroom.
Back in the kitchen, Jiang Chen was about to clean up the dishes, but he found that the table was already cleaned.
Jiang Chen paused for a moment, but soon a smile appeared on his face.
Although he always bickered with Lin Lin, Jiang Chen was always clear. Contrary to her sharp-tongued personality, Lin Lin was actually a very gentle girl. She just wasn't good at expressing herself, or her expression was too clumsy …
When he pushed open the door, the cold air hit him in the face. Jiang Chen stood at the door, stretched his stiff limbs, and walked to the front gate.
It was the middle of September, but the wind carried a hint of winter's bleakness.
With Cheng Weiguo, Zhao Gang, and a few guards, Jiang Chen stepped onto the wall of the Fishbone base.
When the soldiers on duty saw him, they all turned to face him, straightened their backs, and saluted. Their pupils were filled with respect and pride from the bottom of their hearts. In the territory of NAC, and even further south, across the Pacific Ocean in California … the name of the NAC General was a mythical existence.
Looking at the dilapidated high-rise buildings outside the wall, Jiang Chen suddenly asked.
"Where is the wind blowing from?"
Cheng Weiguo took a moment to process the information and immediately replied.
"It should be the north."
Jiang Chen nodded, looked further north, and muttered to himself.
"Is the north already blowing?"
The weather was getting colder and colder …
