Chapter 996 Returning to The Modern World

Jiang Chen sometimes felt that the way Sun Jiao smirked really resembled him.

No, to be precise, the “sadist” side that he occasionally would reveal probably came from her.

Looking at the peaceful face, Jiang Chen leaned down slightly and left a kiss on her forehead.

After a night of rest, he regained most of his energy

To avoid disturbing the two women, Jiang Chen gently quietly moved off of the bed. But as soon as his center of gravity left the bed, his legs couldn’t help but tremble and he almost fell down face first.

He turned around and was about to glare at Sun Jiao. However, when he saw the joyous face deep in sleep, he suddenly lost his temper. He gritted his teeth and limped toward the door.

Because of the side effects of the inhibitor plus mild anemia, Yao Yao usually had a difficult time getting up in the morning. Xiaorou was responsible for breakfast on weekdays.

Now that Xiaorou was still recovering and Sun Jiao was sleeping in and it would be hysterical to count on Lin Lin, the burden naturally fell on the head of the family.

Although Lin Lin was never interested in cooking, she never compromised on food.

She washed up quickly and sat at the table, waiting for breakfast to arrive.

Jiang Chen was planning to send her directly to the cafeteria in the community center to take care of breakfast, but now with Lin Yi who shouldn’t be walking around, he had to cook for the first time in a long time. He made breakfast while yawning profusely before finally walking out with fried eggs sizzling with oil.

As for milk and bread, Lin Lin understood how to use the microwave, and they were already on the table.

“By the way you are walking… are you okay?” Looking at Jiang Chen limping with the plates toward the table, Lin Lin looked at him strangely.

“I fell down going down the stairs.”

“That’s a lie. When I went to the washroom last night, I saw Sister Xiaorou sneak into your room. You must have done something bad to become like this, this morning.” Lin Lin’s unrelenting words came out while chewing on the egg sandwich.

“Not your issue!” Jiang Chen shot Lin Lin a look.

“Humph!”

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Lin Lin spat out her tongue and pouted.

Lin Yi tilted her head, and the hands holding the sandwich stopped in front in front of her mouth. She was using her innocent eyes to examine the two.

“Also, isn’t there a washroom on the first floor? Why did you have to go to the washroom on the second floor?” Suddenly realizing another problem, Jiang Chen added.

“Not, not your issue…” Lin Lin’s face turned red, her voice quieted down, and she couldn’t come up with an answer. In the end, she pretended not to hear the question and no longer spoke.

She didn’t know why. The washroom on the first floor was closer, but she couldn’t stop herself from going to the one on the second floor every night.

Seeing the quiet Lin Lin was very rare, Jiang Chen also stopped battering with her and focused on enjoying his own gourmet meal.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Chen went to the kitchen again and stuffed some more mango pudding into the fridge. After he was done, he told Lin Lin. “I put some more pudding in the fridge, don’t eat it all at once.”

“Mhmm,” Lin Lin buried her head and whispered.

Jiang Chen glanced at Lin Lin strangely. He couldn’t understand what happened to her today. Normally, she would jump up in happiness hearing that the fridge is stuffed with puddings. This unusually quiet state was not like her.

While perplexed, Jiang Chen didn’t think too much of it. Even the liveliest people would experience a few down days.

After breakfast, he went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then took a shower.

He had recovered by this point. At least he was no longer shaking, and his back was no longer so sore.

It was about time to go back, so he went to Yao Yao’s room.

It was only eight in the morning, so Yao Yao naturally was still asleep.

The little girl did not have the habit of locking her door. Jiang Chen just gently pushed it opened and walked into Yao Yao’s boudoir.

A faint fragrance blew in his face, following the unique fragrance belonging to Yao Yao, Jiang Chen quietly walked to her bed without disturbing this peace. He examined the cute face under the ray of morning light and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

It seemed like she was dreaming of something delicious. The slightly open lips formed a happy arc. A sparkling silver thread hung at the corner of her mouth, just like morning dew on the mimosa. Delicate and cute.

Jiang Chen did not wake Yao Yao. He leaned down and kissed her, counting it as a simple farewell.

After he left the room, he gently closed the door behind him.

When Jiang Chen opened his eyes from the soft bed, he saw the sea breeze blowing in the open window. He could hear the rustling sand mixed with the sea wave. After he slowly adjusted his mindset back to the 21st century, he got out of bed.

The room was quiet, Ayesha had already left for Moscow, and Xia Shiyu had gone to the Future Building. He was the only person in the mansion.

After returning to the modern world, Jiang Chen didn’t just sit around. He immediately began to pack his luggage for Russia. Although Natasha said that he can go live at her place, considering that he may be in a foreign country for two to three weeks, he still must prepare some necessary items.

Whether in his luggage or in the storage dimension.

After Jiang Chen finished packing, it was already noon.

While hymning a song, he was preparing to treat himself to some fine dishes and a couple of good wines, but when he opened the fridge, he was suddenly speechless.

There was only half a pizza, a box of unopened pasta, and also a bottle of champagne, but it wouldn’t taste the same without an accompanying dish. Clearly, no one has cooked in this house for a while.

It was understandable for this to happen. Ayesha, the cook, went to Moscow and Jiang Chen also spent some time in the apocalypse. In the past week or so, Xia Shiyu was alone in this mansion. Since she could eat two of her meals at the Future Building cafeteria, even if she knows how to cook, she must have been too lazy to cook alone.

“Why is this girl so lazy,” closing the fridge door, Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

Although he could ring someone and they would deliver the ingredients to him, it would still take two hours. By then, it would be time for his afternoon nap.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Chen left the kitchen depressed and went back to the garage.

Since there was no food at home, he had to go to the Future Building.
