When the fleet returned to the base, it was already evening.
When Jiang Chen got off the car, he didn't go to the cafeteria with Cheng Weiguo and the others. Instead, he went straight back to the mansion.
Just as he hung the winter suit on the hanger, Sun Jiao walked up to him with a face full of complaints.
"Why do you look like that, don't you miss me?" Jiang Chen put his hand on Sun Jiao's waist with a smirk and moved his lips close to her ear.
Sun Jiao's face turned red, but she quickly raised her eyebrows and bit Jiang Chen's earlobe in revenge.
"Dead man, what have you been doing outside?"
"Ahem, I swear to God, I didn't do anything bad in the past three days." Jiang Chen sweated.
To be honest, he was becoming more and more moral.
Sun Jiao rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen's words.
"Who said anything about that?" As she spoke, the worry returned to her face. "Can't you be more careful? You're the leader of a faction now. It's not like we're in the Stone Age anymore. How can a marshal be at the front?"
[So that's what they were talking about.]
Jiang Chen's expression was also a bit awkward as he awkwardly touched his nose and looked to the side.
"Uh, I'll be more careful."
The fight with the Mother of Death Claw was forced by the situation. If he knew it was a hornet's nest, he wouldn't have gone there to seek trouble.
"You told me the same thing last time. Fighting with the Mother of Death Claw, are you crazy? If you die … "Sun Jiao bit her lower lip as tears began to well up in her eyes.
Feeling the deep concern, Jiang Chen felt warmth in his heart as he apologetically hugged Sun Jiao and comforted her.
"Don't say such ominous words. Am I not fine?"
Sun Jiao let Jiang Chen hug her as she pouted and put her chin on his shoulder. She said in his ear willfully.
"You must be careful in the future."
"Mhmm." Jiang Chen solemnly promised as he hugged the soft body.
"And …" Sun Jiao's face suddenly turned red as she showed a rare shy expression.
"And?" Jiang Chen wanted to confirm.
"No, no other meaning, it's just that you always do such dangerous things …" Sun Jiao lowered her head.
"How about …" Her red lips moved shyly, and she whispered seductively in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "How about, next time when we do it, we don't need to use contraceptive injections …"
Sun Jiao obviously didn't know the impact this sentence had on the man as a wave of heat rushed to his lower abdomen.
"Baby, I …"
"Don't speak."
Her index finger gently touched his lips. Sun Jiao's lips opened and closed, forming the seductive words. "Kiss me."
He held onto Sun Jiao's slender and beautiful thighs with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist as he pushed her against the sofa in the living room.
But at this moment, Jiang Chen was stunned, and his expression turned awkward.
On the stairs of the second floor, Sun Xiao Rou was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the two of them with a smile.
"Hehe, don't mind me." The devil-like smile was extremely similar to Sun Jiao.
How could he not mind!
The embarrassing scene was seen by her sister, Sun Jiao couldn't stay any longer. She immediately jumped up and escaped from Jiang Chen's arms.
…
"I'm so sorry for making you accompany me in place of my sister." Sun Xiao Rou turned around in the wheelchair and playfully winked at Jiang Chen.
The setting sun slightly slanted, elongating the two's shadows.
Jiang Chen pushed Sun Xiao Rou in the wheelchair on the path in the mansion's backyard.
After Sun Jiao ran away, he originally planned to run away as well because he didn't know how to face Sun Xiao Rou. She was obviously not the her from back then, but he did take away her first time … It might be a bit confusing to explain, but perhaps the feelings in his mind were even more confusing than that.
Sun Xiao Rou stopped him and asked him to help her go downstairs.
Because he couldn't resist her adorable eyes, the soft-hearted Jiang Chen came back and carried her downstairs.
Then, naturally, it developed into what it was now. Jiang Chen replaced Sun Jiao who ran away and pushed her for a walk in the backyard.
Although Sun Xiao Rou could walk on her own in a voice-activated wheelchair, it would be more convenient to have someone accompany her on complicated terrain. Also, it was not easy to use voice commands to describe the direction of movement.
Jiang Chen let out a breath of air and hesitated for a moment before he said, "It's okay … I've always wanted to apologize to you."
"Why do you want to apologize to me?" Sun Xiao Rou gently blinked. "I almost killed you and the person you love, and because of your anger, you retaliated against me because I didn't want to confess. Or rather … I should be the one thanking you for not killing me. "
Jiang Chen paused for a moment before he smiled.
"Thank you."
Regardless of whether the words were sincere or not, when he heard that she didn't hate him, Jiang Chen felt better.
Sun Xiao Rou gently blinked and didn't respond. She just quietly stared at the snow on the dried branches beside the path.
"Speaking of which, are you feeling better now?" Looking at the peaceful side of her face, Jiang Chen asked softly.
Hearing this, Sun Xiao Rou's mouth curved up. "In what way? If it's your body, you can't move anything below your shoulders. "
Based on what Lin Lin said, her current condition was a more troublesome brain injury than a nervous system injury. There was no damage to her spinal nerves, and her body functions were normal, but she couldn't move anything below her shoulders. It felt as if he had 'forgotten' how to use his arms and legs.
The symptoms were troublesome. Whether it was the Fishbone base or the Sixth Street, they didn't have the facilities to perform brain repair surgery. But Jiang Chen already issued a reward through the Fake Leg Bar. If anyone could obtain a complete set of surgical equipment, they would receive a reward of five thousand crystals.
With a great reward, there would be brave people. He believed that after a period of time, the troublesome problem would be solved.
"Uhh, mentally."
The question was strange. As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Chen's expression also turned strange.
Her long black hair slanted as she tilted her head. "Why do you ask?"
"Because didn't you recover your memory? Ah, it's a bit presumptuous of me to ask this. Just pretend I didn't ask. "Jiang Chen forced a smile.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Sun Xiao Rou only smiled.
"What do you think I should be like?"
Jiang Chen wanted to say, "Remove the brainwashing, as Sun Jiao's sister," but the words were stuck in his throat.
Sun Xiao Rou looked up at the sunset in the distance as she continued.
"For a long time, there have been two figures fighting in my mind, fighting for control of my body. One is me as a believer, and the other is me as a sister. Isn't it strange? "Sun Xiao Rou turned around to look at Jiang Chen and smiled shyly.
"No, it's not strange." Jiang Chen shook his head, looked into her eyes, and waited for her to continue.
"Actually … I've thought a lot these days. No matter which me, it's still me. "
"But you were brainwashed —" Jiang Chen couldn't help but say.
"What is brainwashing?"
Jiang Chen couldn't understand the meaning behind this sentence. He didn't answer and only looked at her with confusion.
"People live in this world and receive signals from the outside world all the time. A ray of sunlight, a gust of wind, occasionally falling snow, a warning … How do you define which is brainwashing? "
"Then now you …"
"Probably the fusion of the two personalities. Maybe it's easier to understand."
Sun Xiao Rou blinked and said playfully.
It was hard to imagine that a victim could smile so brightly.
"… Don't you hate those people? But they used the chip to lock your memory, "Jiang Chen asked.
Sun Xiao Rou shook her head and looked at the sunset in the distance again.
The crimson flame was no longer dazzling, just like a torch that was about to be extinguished.
"What is after dusk?"
Jiang Chen followed the direction Sun Xiao Rou was looking at and stared at the dusk. He pondered for a moment before he said softly.
"It's night."
Sun Xiao Rou nodded, looked at the sunset, and said softly.
"That's right … So, they are just a group of pitiful people."
They believed in the doomsday of Earth's civilization, vowed to stay away from the falling sunset, poured their lives into building the ark that would carry the new civilization, abandoned their homeland, and sailed into the endless cold night.
Even if they succeeded at all costs, would the future that awaited them be dawn?
Pitiful people, why hate pitiful people …
