136 For our interes (2/2)

Seeing her so happy, he couldn't resist the temptation to make fun of her.

”You don't short circuit?”

Lin Lin's eyebrows traveled all the way up, but as she was about to give a rebuttal, she thought about how she was under his control and froze in place.

Jiang Chen was surprised to see her hold her tongue.

”Oh, what's the progress on the mission I gave you?”

”Do you think scientific research is like masturbation? It will come out after rubbing a little?” Finally, Lin Lin couldn't resist the temptation to curse.

Jiang Chen looked at her oddly. He couldn't connect the vulgar words with the elf-like looks of this girl.

”Although I haven't done research before, have you masturbated?”

Lin Lin's face turned red, and cursed under her breath, ”Pervert.” She ran away with her head buried.

[It's so fun teasing this girl.]

Seeing Lin Lin flee the scene, Jiang Chen laughed malevolently.

But first things first.

He shook his head and put Lin Lin's matter aside to go up to the second floor and find Sun Jiao.

”You're back?” Sun Jiao eyes brightened when she saw him. She dropped the items in her hands and with upturned lips, greeted him delightfully.

”Mhmm.” Jiang Chen hugged the passionate Sun Jiao and asked, ”How's the bank mission doing?”

”We've shipped the gold back. It's around fifteen tons. The marks have been sanded off, and right now, it's piled up in the pool,” she said intimately. Sun Jiao looked deeply into Jiang Chen's eyes.

”Thank you.” He touched her soft hair and returned her gaze.

”Of course. I'm so tired.” She stretched and was pleased to hear the light gulping nose. Smirking, she continued, ”How are you planning on rewarding me?”

”Ahem, let's talk about this tonight.” Jiang Chen touched his nose, looking away shyly.

He caught sight of something strange beside the bed.

[That is... a towel?]

”Eh? What is this?” Jiang Chen craned his neck to look curiously at the strange item.

Sun Jiao's face immediately turned red. She dashed to the bedside and hid the unknown item under the blankets.

”What? What are you talking about?” Her eyes began to wander. It was rare for her to play dumb.

Curious!

Jiang Chen was unable to control his interest and began to ask energetically, ”The thing you just hid....”

”No! What did I just hide?” Sun Jiao's eyebrows rose as she said fiercely.

”No, no, no, I saw it with my own eyes.”

”Illusion! It must be an illusion!” Vehemently denying it, Sun Jiao blushed and pushed at Jiang Chen who tried to leap over to see. She then slammed the door shut.

”Phew—”

Sun Jiao sat on the bed and exhaled.

Her heart was beating so fast.

”Ahhhhh, this is too embarrassing. It's not like me!”

Sun Jiao's hands patted her burning-red face as she dove into the bed. She reached for the blanket and covered herself like an ostrich.

The treasure hidden under the blanket was exposed; it was an old magazine. Based on the publication date, it was printed before the war.

”How to capture your boyfriend's heart - weave a scarf for him in the cold winter”

”Attached: Simple weaving technique”

Sun Jiao, who had been born in a survival base and lived wandering the wasteland, didn't know what love was. It was something she had never learned before. She picked up this magazine from the bank, unaware of what scarves were, but she was intrigued by the printed words on the front page.

Could a scarf be this magical? Sun Jiao didn't really understand.

But if Jiang Chen came from before the war, then it had to be useful for him.

She firmly believed this.

...

Standing by the poolside, Jiang Chen observed the lustrous gold. In the apocalypse, this gold was worth less than dirt.

He took a deep breath and submerged his conscious into the storage dimension.

Compared to before, the storage dimension seemed to have expanded by a lot—from one cubic meter to five cubic meters now. But Jiang Chen was still clueless on how the interdimensional bracelet evolved. Charging it repeatedly seemed to be useful, but otherwise, it was not obvious.

The overload from last time seemed to have increased the size of the storage dimensional by quite a lot, but Jiang Chen didn't dare to do anything so dangerous again. Instead of overloading it, it could potentially ”fry” the bracelet.

Putting the gold into the storage dimension, Jiang Chen was prepared to return to the modern world, but he suddenly remembered the ”promise” he made with Sun Jiao. A smirk appeared on his face.

[I'll go back tomorrow morning.]
