Even if they knew that the moment the door opened, what awaited them would only be ruins. But if they didn't optimistically believe in the one percent possibility, they wouldn't even have the courage to wait until the door opened.
"It's New Year, let's not talk about such a heavy topic," Jiang Chen said gently as he hugged her waist.
"Mhmm." A blush appeared on her face and washed away the heaviness between her eyebrows. Sun Jiao lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Speaking of which, what do you do during New Year on your side?" In order to diffuse the heavy atmosphere, she forcefully changed the topic.
"I usually spend it with my family." When he said this, Jiang Chen felt a little emotional.
Unfortunately, he didn't know what identity he should use to go home. At least this New Year, he probably wouldn't have the chance to go back.
"Do you miss home?" Sun Jiao noticed the strange look in Jiang Chen's eyes as she asked with concern.
"I just went back a while ago. I don't really miss home. My parents are in good health, and they are living a good life. As long as they are happy, I don't have anything to worry about. "
"I see … It's good that your family is here," Sun Jiao murmured.
"What about your sister?" Jiang Chen's expression was slightly awkward when he talked about Sun Xiaorou, but he still insisted.
"She … her body isn't in good condition."
"Did something happen?" Jiang Chen immediately asked.
"Lin Lin … Although Tingting destroyed the memory blocking chip in the back of her brain, it also affected the nerves in her lower limbs. All in all, she can only sit in a wheelchair now, "Sun Jiao said dejectedly.
Jiang Chen's emotions were complicated. On one hand, he was glad that it wasn't because of him that Sun Xiaorou was in a wheelchair, but on the other hand, he felt sympathy for her sister.
"This is a rare opportunity. Take her out for a walk."
"Eh? But- "Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
"Although the base knows that there was an assassin that tried to assassinate me, they don't know who the assassin is, and no one has seen her face. It's better to spend New Year with family, if there is still family. "
Jiang Chen paused for a moment before he looked at Sun Jiao with a comforting smile. "Maybe if you take her out for a walk in this joyous atmosphere, the trauma in her heart will heal. Go quickly. "
"Mhmm …" With a blushing face, she gratefully responded and walked down the stairs.
As he watched Sun Jiao leave, Jiang Chen shifted his gaze back to the square.
People were shouting and making a lot of noise.
A young man plucked a guitar carved from wood, playing an unknown but melodious tune.
"Family?" Jiang Chen murmured as he suddenly remembered a cute little girl.
She had no family left.
…
As he expected, Yaoyao was still in her room.
She wasn't fiddling with her computer and electronic equipment as usual. At this moment, she was sitting in front of the table, swinging her little feet that couldn't reach the ground. Her hands were supporting her cute little chin, and she was in a daze.
In previous years, people would have set off electronic fireworks to celebrate New Year's Eve. But after waking up, everything had changed. If she hadn't met Big Brother …
Yao Yao didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
She liked this place very much. She didn't have to face the cold wind and snow, nor did she have to face the oppressive radiation dust.
However, it was a little too cold and cheerless …
"Are you thinking about something?" Jiang Chen put his hand on her shoulder.
"Wahhhh —" The sound behind her scared Yao Yao.
When she realized it was Jiang Chen, Yao Yao let out a sigh of relief. She pouted her mouth and weakly complained.
"It's not fun to bully little animals."
"Then how should I play?" Jiang Chen rubbed her soft hair as he smiled.
"Mhhh — that's good, hehe." Yao Yao raised her head and showed a comfortable expression like a cat being scratched. She said softly.
"Don't you need me to take you out to play?" Jiang Chen said softly as he felt the warmth mixed with the girl's fragrance.
"Go out to play?" Yao Yao tilted her head as she didn't understand.
"Mhmm, they are celebrating New Year's Eve. There are performances, and there are people cooking dinner. Don't you want to go out? If you stay in your room all the time, you might suffocate. "Jiang Chen laughed.
Hearing this, Yao Yao lowered her head.
"But, but … don't you need to stay with Sister Sun?"
"Eh?" Jiang Chen paused for a moment as he didn't know why Yao Yao suddenly said that.
"Every time Brother Jiang Chen comes back, he will go play with Sister Sun." Yao Yao puffed up her cheeks as she looked to the side as if she was throwing a tantrum. She said in a soft voice, "Although boys like … like girls with bigger breasts. But, but I also … "
Her mouth trembled, but because it was too embarrassing, Yao Yao couldn't say the rest of the sentence.
However, just as she was about to completely abandon her sense of shame and reveal all of her inner thoughts, her petite lips were blocked.
Her long eyelashes trembled as her eyes widened in shock before she closed them again.
Her lips were as soft as soft candy and as sweet as honey.
After a long time, Jiang Chen moved his lips away with two different feelings of self-blame and reluctance.
A silvery thread caused that pure and misty pretty face to be dyed with a touch of another level of temptation.
Jiang Chen gulped as he gently put his hand on Yao Yao's shoulder.
"Yao Yao …"
Yao Yao seemed to have sensed Jiang Chen's intention as a gentle smile blossomed on her face.
"Sure."
The pair of legs wrapped in white silk stopped swaying. They nervously closed together and rubbed against each other bashfully.
Feeling the seductive atmosphere, Yao Yao closed her cute long eyelashes again as she waited for the long-awaited moment to arrive.
Jiang Chen couldn't hold it in any longer.
But just as he was about to throw away all of his guilt and be a beast again, the EP rang again at an untimely time.
The seductive atmosphere instantly dispersed.
Yao Yao's face turned into a red apple as she wanted to find a hole to hide in …
…
At the gate of the base, Cheng Weiguo was wearing a coat as he talked to a strange person in a blue jumpsuit.
When he saw Jiang Chen walk over, his eyes lit up as he hurried to greet him.
"Boss, you finally came." But when he saw the unfriendly expression on Jiang Chen's face, he paused for a moment.
"Uhh, did I do something wrong …"
"No, you did great," Jiang Chen said with a straight face.
If it wasn't for this phone call, he might have really done something beastly.
Even Liu Yao couldn't handle it, let alone Yao Yao who didn't receive the genetic vaccine and whose body development was inhibited.
Therefore, Cheng Weiguo's phone call came at the perfect time.
But for some reason, Jiang Chen still didn't feel good!
"But you-"
"Don't worry about it, let's talk business."
"Okay." Cheng Weiguo nodded and led Jiang Chen to the strange person in the blue jumpsuit.
This outfit should be the uniform of the fallout shelter.
"This is the fallout shelter-" Cheng Weiguo coughed as he prepared to explain.
"Hello, the leader of the Fishbone base, nice to meet you." The man cleared his throat as he extended his right hand. "Shi Yongtian, this is my name. For your outstanding contribution in rebuilding our home on the ruins, the Pan-Asia Cooperation government will reward your work. "
