Chapter 285 - An Unexpected Guest

Even if they knew that the moment the doors opened, only shambles awaited them, if they didn’t optimistically believe in the 1% possibility, then they may not even have the courage to wait till the doors opened.

“It’s New Year, let’s not talk about something so depressing,” Jiang Chen hugged her around the waist and said gently.

“Mhmm.” Sun Jiao buried her head embarrassedly to cover her blushed face as the sternness in her eyes were washed away.

“Speaking of this, what would you do during New Year on your side?” To get rid of the somber atmosphere, she forcibly changed the topic.

“I would usually spend it with my parents.” When Jiang Chen said that, he felt melancholic.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know what kind of identity he would use when he heads home now. At least this New Year, he probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to visit them.

“Do you miss home?” Sun Jiao detected the strangeness in Jiang Chen’s eyes as she asked caringly.

“I went back just not long ago. I wouldn’t say I miss it too much. My parents’ health is good and they are living a happy life. As long as they are happy, I don’t have much to worry about.”

“I see… Your family are all there, that’s good,” Sun Jiao murmured to herself.

“What about your sister?” Jiang Chen felt awkward when he talked about Sun Xiaorou, but he still pushed the words out of his mouth.

“Her…body is not doing too well.”

“What happened?” Jiang Chen hastily asked.

“Lin Lin… Although Tingting destroyed the chip that blocked her memory in the hippocampus, it still affected the nerve in her lower body. Now, she can only sit in a wheelchair.” Sun Jiao was feeling down.

Jiang Chen felt perplexed. A part of him was glad that he wasn’t the one that made Sun Xiaorou sit in the wheelchair, the other part was feeling sympathetic for her sister.

“A rare opportunity. You should take her around.”

“Eh? But” Sun Jiao looked shockingly at Jiang Chen.

“Although the base knew that an assassin attempted to assassinate me, they don’t know who the assassin was, and no one saw her face. It is better to spend New Year with the family if you still have a family.”

Jiang Chen paused. He had a comforting smile on his face as he continued, “Maybe if you take her around this cheerful atmosphere, the trauma in her mind will be healed. Go now.”

“Mhmm…” Sun Jiao hid her reddened face before heading downstairs.

Watching Sun Jiao leave, Jiang Chen looked back at the square again.

People shouted, chatted.

A young man was strumming a guitar made out of wood as he played an unknown but peaceful melody.

“Family,” Jiang Chen muttered to himself as he suddenly thought of a cute girl.

She doesn’t have a family anymore.

…

Without surprise, Yao Yao still stayed in her room.

She didn’t play with her computer or other electronic devices as usual. Right now, she was sitting in front of the table while dangling her feet, unable to touch the ground. Her hands were placed against her chin as she zoned out.

In the years before, people would play electronic fireworks to celebrate New Year’s Eve. But after she woke up, everything changed, if she didn’t meet her big brother…

Yao Yao was too afraid to think what would have happened.

She really liked this place. No need to face the cold winter; no need to face the repressing radiation dust.

Just, a bit too lonely.

“What are you thinking about?” Jiang Chen put his hand on her shoulder.

“Wa” The voice from behind her scared her a little.

After Yao Yao realized it was Jiang Chen, she let out a sigh of relief. She pouted her mouth as she threw a small tantrum.

“It is not fun bullying a small animal.”

“Then what’s fun?” Jiang Chen rubbed her soft hair as he smiled.

“Wo, just like this.” Yao Yao enjoyably raised her head as she had an expression similar to a cat being petted.

“Do you not need me to take you out?” Jiang Chen said gently as he felt the temperature mixed with the sweet scent of the girl.

“Take me out?” Yao Yao tilted her head as she responded, slightly confused.

“Mhmm, they are celebrating New Year outside. People are performing and cooking. Do you not want to see? You will feel too stuffy staying in your room for too long.”

“But…But… Do you not need to stay with sister Sun Jiao?”

“Eh?” Jiang Chen was confused as he didn’t know Yao Yao would suddenly ask this.

“Everytime brother Jiang Chen comes back, you will always go play with sister Sun Jiao.” She blew her cheeks up as she looked away throwing a tantrum. “Although boys like … bigger boobs, but, but I…”

She mumbled, but because it was too embarrassing, Yao Yao couldn’t finish the next sentence.

But just as she was about to throw away her humiliation and force all her thoughts out, her tiny lips were blocked.

Her eyes trembled, then opened wide before closing peacefully.

Those lips were soft as marshmallows, sweet as honey.

Long after, Jiang Chen moved his lips away with longing and guilt.

The silver wire made the pure but misty kiss carry a hint of seduction.

“Yao Yao…”

She seemed to have sensed Jiang Chen’s emotion as a soft smile blossomed on her face.

“You can.”

…

The legs covered in white stockings stopped shaking as it anxiously closed and rubbed against itself.

Feeling the intimate moment, Yao Yao closed her adorable, large eyes again, waiting for the moment she has been longing for.

Jiang Chen couldn’t control himself anymore.

Just as he was about to throw away all sense of guilt and become an animal again, his EP began to ring at an untimely moment again.

The intimate atmosphere instantly faded.

Yao Yao’s face changed to a dark red as she was so flustered that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide inside…

…

At the door of the base, Cheng Weiguo was in a jacket standing with an odd person wearing a blue onesie.

Seeing Jiang Chen walk over, his eyes light up as he immediately went up to greet him.

“Boss, you are finally here.” But when he saw the unfriendly expression on Jiang Chen’s face, he was confused.

“Uh, did I do something wrong…”

“No, you did a great job,” Jiang Chen said with a straight face.

If it was not for the call, he might have been doing some animalistic acts.

Even Liu Yao couldn’t withstand it, let alone Yao Yao who has never been injected with the genetic vaccine. The growth of her body was suppressed.

Therefore, Cheng Weiguo’s phone was too timely.

But for some reason, Jiang Chen still didn’t feel too hot!

“But you”

“Don’t worry, let’s talk about the important things.”

“Okay.” Cheng Weiguo nodded his head and then led Jiang Chen to the weird person in a blue onesie.

He seemed to be wearing the uniform from a fallout shelter.

“This is the fallout shelter” Cheng Weiguo cleared his throat as he introduced.

“Hello, leader of the Fishbone base. Nice to meet you.” The person cleared his throat and extended his right hand. “My name is Shi Yongtian. For your outstanding contribution in rebuilding the apocalypse, the PAC government would like to recognize you for your outstanding work.”
