Han Junhua's home was in a separate apartment building.
Jiang Chen satisfied her demands and placed her living quarters as far away from crowds as possible.
When he asked the reason behind her request, her response was simple.
”Because I prefer a place that's quiet.”
”Is that so? That's a unique preference,” Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.
When they finished the work, Han Junhua and Jiang Chen walked out of the community center together. It was the last task in the reorganization plan, so work the next day would be much easier.
”I always wanted to ask - is this Death Claw?” Han Junhua stopped in front of the Mother of Death Claw statue and examined the monster.
”The Mother of Death Claw. Normal Death Claw is not so big and not so difficult to deal with.”
When he recalled the intense fight at the Like mall, Jiang Chen had mixed feelings. Although the actual killer of the Mother of Death Claw was the type-50 electromagnetic cannon, considering how quickly news spread, it quickly became his trophy.
”Did you kill it?”
Jiang Chen looked at her with a perplexed expression, but he still answered with a casual conversational tone, ”To be precise, we were even. The actual killer was the type-50 electromagnetic cannon.”
”Is this the strongest mutant in the wasteland?” Han Junhua continued to ask.
”Probably.”
Perhaps stronger mutants existed, but Jiang Chen hadn't seen any.
Han Junhua didn't say anything else as she crossed her arms and fell silent.
They didn't speak anymore along the way. Jiang Chen walked with her for a bit longer before leaving and returning to the mansion.
Along the quiet trail, Jiang Chen pushed open the mansion door and hung his coat on the hanger by the door.
”You're back?” Sun Xiaorou, in a long dress, stood at the door and smiled at him.
”Mhmm…. Eh? Your wheelchair-”
”Neural bridge. By utilizing a bridge, it circled the damaged brain area and allowed information exchange between the spine and the brain on a circuit board.” She turned around and gently lifted her hair covering her neck and exposed a device similar to the neck cover in addition to the whiteness of her skin.
She was wearing a dress with her back exposed.
He didn't know where to put his eyes, so he looked away and said:
”Technology is a magnificent thing.”
”It's compassion that's magnificent. I have to thank Yao Yao and Lin Lin; if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have the opportunity to leave the wheelchair.”
Sun Xiaorou approached Jiang Chen as she put her hand out and adjusted his collar.
Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to move back, but because of the space limitations, her hand managed to reach his collar.
Such an intimate motion made him feel slightly awkward. Faced with the eyes that contained the universe, he didn't know what to say.
”Where's your sister?” Jiang Chen scanned the stairs to the second floor reflexively.
”In the virtual reality gaming chamber in the gym.” Sun Xiaorou adjusted his slightly untidy collar, but her hands didn't leave Jiang Chen's shoulder. She just dangled them there and watched his eyes cheerfully.
”Is that so? She said it wasn't fun, but she's actually enjoying it?” Jiang Chen changed the topic awkwardly.
”That's right. Aren't we all like this?” With her arms moving slightly, Sun Xiaorou closed the distance between her and Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen leaned back on the door.
Watching her eyes full of passion, Jiang Chen inhaled deeply.
”Are you being serious?”
”We made a promise when we were young that we would marry the same person.” Sun Xiaorou stared at Jiang Chen's eyes as she smiled like a little devil and teasingly leaned her body closer.
