Chapter 172: Winter is coming

Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi

Rather than saying winter was coming, it was more fitting to say winter was here.

His vision was covered by the monochrome silver as the entire pool was filled with snow. A thick layer of snow covered the mansion, and the edges of the roof were decorated with daunting icicles. Like a castle standing in the northern kingdom. Solemn. Proud.

But Jiang Chen was not in the mood to enjoy the atmosphere of his mansion. He only wore a thin t-shirt.

The second he stepped into the apocalypse, he began to shiver uncontrollably.

[This weather is too f*cking cold.]

Even with his body condition strengthed by the genetic vaccine, he couldn't withstand it anymore.

Jiang Chen covered his arms with his hand as he dashed into the mansion from the backyard. The last time he was here, he started his time travel beside the pool because he was lazy, but he sure suffered on his way back.

Different from the extreme conditions outside, the mansion was as warm as spring. The broken wall and window had been long repaired by Sun Jiao, and after a series of modifications and improvements, as long as the window was closed, the mansion would not be bothered by the severe wind chills outside.

But before he even gained his footing in the mansion, Sun Jiao, who also ran toward him, pushed him onto the sofa.

”You are finally back.” This girl's voice certainly had a hidden bitterness to it.

”Uh, a lot happened over there.” Jiang Chen said apologetically.

Although it was not entirely accurate, he did become lazy after having to much fun.

Jiang Chen seemed to have sensed something, but she didn't point it out. Her beautiful eyes dreamily gazed into his.

Jiang Chen looked away as he was shy from the passionate gaze, but he discovered Sun Jiao was holding something in her hand.

”Eh? What is this?”

”Ah, this is, umm, this is...” Out of nowhere, Sun Jiao's face immediately turned red as there was a sense of panic to her voice.

”Towel?” Jiang Chen asked with uncertainty.

”It's a scarf! Fool!” After seeing her proud work being slandered as a towel, Miss Sun Jiao was immediately enraged.

The furious Sun Jiao gave a solid punch in Jiang Chen's chest, and then she pulled out the scarf, forcefully putting it around his neck out of shame.

”Cough cough! Are you trying to strangle me!” Although the softness was continually squeezing onto him because of the violent action, the suffocating feeling around his neck canceled the sensation.

”Stop, stop moving, just resist a bit longer!” Sun Jiao with a blushed face said fiercely.

”Wait, why do I have to resist against wearing a scarf-”

”You are so talkative!”

After awhile, the scarf was finally put around Jiang Chen's neck.

Sun Jiao got up from Jiang Chen's body with a blushed face as she looked away.

”Looks pretty good. It would be even better if you give it to me normally. Especially because this is not how you wear a scarf...” Sun Jiao, with a troubled smile, pulled the scarf around his neck. This girl was clearly confused about the difference between a rope and scarf.

The pure black scarf was without any pattern. With a beginner's skill, it would be too difficult to put any patterns on it. But being able to knit the scarf was an accomplishment nonetheless.

Hearing Jiang Chen's praise, Sun Jiao's eyes immediately lit up. As to the ridicule of ”method of tying the scarf,” she selectively ignored the sentence.

”Really! Haha, this is what I am saying. How could I mess up on a scarf.” With a red face, and scratching the back of her head, c*ckiness was written all over her face.

”So why did you think about knitting a scarf?” After putting on the scarf properly, Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.

”Because...” Sun Jiao's mind drifted again. Her face changed to a bright red hue. ”In the magazines before the war, it said, girlfriends should knit scarves for their boyfriend. Therefore...”

”It is not a requirement, or the better way to put it, the girl that is willing to knit a scarf for her boyfriend would be a rare species.” Jiang Chen let out a sigh as she smiled.

Jiang Chen was quite touched by her.

”What do you mean a rare species!” Sun Jiao gave Jiang Chen a dirty look.

”It means adorable,” Jiang Chen rushed to explain.

”Adorable?!” Her expression suddenly softened, and her bright eyes looked around shyly.

At this time, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed Yao Yao standing on top of the stairs. This small loli pouted her lips as the cute eyes stared straight at the scarf around his neck.

”Ooo! Too devious...”

As if she heard the noise in the living room, Lin Lin walked in from the side door with her pure white hair.

Still not hesitant to bad mouth people.

”Psh, it's only a dumb devil couple. Why would you guys display affection in the living room? Go close the door and do what you did-.” But before she finished, the words were stuck in her throat. A grim sight instantly locked onto her vision as she was forced to swallow her unfinished sentence.

”Ahem. I think as the owner of the mansion, I need to do something now,” Jiang Chen mustered to himself.

”That's right. For example, building a wooden shack outside for her.” A devil-like smile spread on Sun Jiao's face as she also enjoyed the feeling of bullying Lin Lin.
