To be honest, Jiang Chen has not been home for a while.

In the past, it was because he didn’t feel like he accomplished anything. Thus, he felt embarrassed and guilty seeing his parents. Now, he has finally achieved something. The gold in the mansion was worth at least a million. It was still not enough to buy an apartment in Wanghai City, but it was sufficient to support his parents.

Also, inside the vault of the bank, there was a fortune worth billions.

”What are you thinking about?” Sun Jiao waved her hands in front of Jiang Chen.

Also, I have a girlfriend. Jiang Chen smiled at Sun Jiao as he grabbed onto her hand, and carefully looked at the flawless hand.

”I was just thinking if I should put a ring on you.”

Sun Jiao’s face immediately blushed as she fleeted away, not knowing what to do. Although she was bold most of the time, there were occasions where she showed her shy side.

Jiang Chen laughed as he recollected his thoughts. The dishes were all cleaned and organized. This was the first time he realized that Sun Jiao knew how to clean up. The thought made him quite happy. Of course, Yao Yao also helped out. Jiang Chen guessed that it must be Yao Yao that cleaned the dishes first and Sun Jiao followed, as she didn’t want to feel too guilty about it.

This must be the feeling of being the man in the house.

The planning session began after dinner. Sun Jiao insisted on the meeting being held on the bed. Jiang Chen mocked her in his head as she grew lazier by the day.

Although slightly uncomfortable, Yao Yao lied on the bed as well. She wore Jiang Chen’s shirt and jeans that he prepared for himself. He thought he would just pick out a few outfits for her once he was back in the modern world.

The faint scent of Jiang Chen on the clothes made Yao Yao blush throughout the meeting. This was the first time she experienced such a weird sensation which made her quite dizzy.

”First, how to enter the vault. Let me briefly explain for our little girl.” Sun Jiao took out the full-sensory computer pen and displayed the three-dimensional image. ”We enter the safety tunnel through the underground garage. We then avoid the zombie-filled grand hall and got into the basement which will lead us to the vault’s front door. I took this route before so it should be relatively safe. The key is going to be on the main door of the garage, which has a password lock on it. Do you think you can open it?” Sun Jiao looked at Yao Yao as she finished her sentence.

”If it is the security system before the war, I am pretty confident I can open it. However, I need two days to prepare. Some of the software must be installed beforehand,” she stared at the prism and said with caution.

”Ok,” Sun Jiao replied with a snap.

”Let’s go buy you a computer tomorrow. I also want to buy one for fun. As for the preparation, let’s do that in the mansion.” Jiang Chen always wanted a futuristic computer. He heard those things were dirt cheap at Sixth Street, about the same price as EP.

”Mansion?” Yao Yao turned her head around.

”That’s our base, and also your future home,” Sun Jiao smiled at Yao Yao as she explained.

Home… no matter how many time she heard those word, Yao Yao always felt a warmth surrounding her.

”So the next question.” Sun Jiao’s expression turned serious. ”Is about Huizhong Mercenaries.”

”Oh? Did they make a move?” Eyebrows raised, Jiang Chen asked.

Yao Yao’s face spelled confusion as she didn’t have a clue.

Sun Jiao patted her head as she saw Yao Yao’s confused face. She then began to explain how the story started.

”So, these guys are eyeing master’s fortune.”

”Don’t call me master, you can call me big brother.” Master was a word which made Jiang Chen feel weird, especially coming from a young girl.

”Ok, brother!”

Jiang Chen tried to hide his face full of joy but directly met Sun Jiao’s questioning smile. He was sure that if he did anything inappropriate, he should be worried about his future sex life. He shivered as he immediately dragged the conversation back on track.

”So the result of your observation is?”

”Huizhong Mercenaries’ supports and backups are here. They are patrolling the area five kilometers away from Sixth Street. They have 17 gunmen and one motorized machine gun. That is excluding the fact that these are only part of their power.” Sun Jiao also regained her professionalism. ”According to your plan, all the pieces are set in place, and we just need to wait and enjoy the game.”

Jiang Chen nodded as he fell flat on the bed. ”Is there anything else we need to talk about? If not, we should sleep early.”

”Well, here’s the problem.” Sun Jiao glanced at Jiang Chen with a mischievous look. ”Where are you going to sleep?”

”Hmm?”

”There’s only one bedroom.” She reminded him.

”Of course I am sleeping with you.” Jiang Chen had the audacity to answer as he hugged her.

”I, I’ll go to the living room.” Yao Yao tried to flee from the bed with a blushed face.

Sun Jiao grabbed onto the escaping Yao Yao as she whispered into her ear. ”You are sleeping beside your big sister today because a naughty boy is trying to eat your sister today.”

F*ck, it’s still debatable who is eating who? Jiang Chen sighed.

…

They ended up sleeping together that night in a peaceful way, but it just ended up being a terrible night.

The next morning, Jiang Chen rubbed his still sleepy eyes and sat up. He looked at the completely spread out Sun Jiao and compared her with the curled up Yao Yao. A smile emerged on his face.

Time to make breakfast.

Although it was in the apocalyptic world, it was still important to maintain the proper daily routine. Eating breakfast was one of the few habits that Jiang Chen managed to keep. He placed a slice of bread into the microwave and observed the sky outside the window.

The dawn had not yet broken through the dark sky, but he didn’t feel sleepy at all.

He thought about the battle with the most vicious enemies on the wasteland. The idea made him uneasy. Although he prepared for the battle for a long time, anything could happen. The enemy must have prepared for as well. Hui Lei disappeared, which would ring a warning bell to Zhou Guoping. The motorized machine gun was ready for this occasion.

Unless he spent the rest of his life on Sixth Street, the day would come when he has to face the mercenaries.

”Is there anything I can help with?” A faint voice mumbled.

”Hmm?” He turned around with a smile. ”Are you not going to sleep a bit more?”

She was loosely covered with Jiang Chen’s oversized clothing. Yao Yao shooked her head with eyes still half-closed. ”No... No. if Yao Yao is too lazy, Yao Yao will be abandoned.”

”I already told you, I am not going to abandon you. What do you think about every day?” Jiang Chen tousled her messy hair.

Maybe she was still sleepy, but when her head was rubbed at a drowsy state, Yao Yao unconsciously let out a few cute snores.
