Chapter 1133: Chapter 648: Luncheon (Double-Length Chapter)
Sunday, November 30, 2014.
This month of this year, many events happened that were far removed from ordinary people, such as:
The first soft landing of a human probe on a comet.
The World Internet Conference was held in Jiang Province.
A certain swimming champion’s doping test came back positive...
In the early morning, Jiang Ning woke up as usual, he put on his coat and pushed open the door.
The cold air hit his face, a faint mist lingered between heaven and earth, the sun had not yet fully risen, only a faint hint of gold appeared on the horizon.
Smoke rose from the kitchen of Chuchu’s house next door, carrying the aroma of pancakes. All year round, regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter, she always worked so diligently, Jiang Ning had never seen her sleep in.
With these thoughts, Jiang Ning lightly waved his sleeve, and a stream of water surged out of the bucket, instantly forming a ball of water.
With another gesture, the water ball rose into the air, transforming into a waterfall that drenched his entire body.
Jiang Ning closed his eyes, the Spiritual Power within him erupted suddenly with his thought, the waterfall of Spiritual Power quickly evaporated, turning into wisps of white smoke that rose gently.
The entire process was completed in one smooth motion. Once the last drop of water evaporated from his face, Jiang Ning stepped towards Chuchu’s house.
...
Xue Chuchu was busy in the kitchen, a floral apron gently wrapped around her slender waist. Under the soft light of the incandescent lamp, she appeared exceptionally gentle and beautiful.
Usually, Xue Chuchu appeared cold to others. If not seen with one’s own eyes, it would be hard to associate her with the way she wields a spatula while cooking.
Amidst the smoke of cooking, she turned her face and saw Jiang Ning arriving, smiling softly. "Breakfast will take a bit longer, you can wake up Tongtong first."
"She should be able to get up early this morning," Xue Chuchu said.
Last night, Xue Yuantong wanted to play games with Jiang Ning but ended up being caught by her mom and taken home, unable to play games all night.
As expected, she should already be awake by this time.
Jiang Ning sat in the kitchen for a while before turning around to find Tongtong’s house. He entered the small yard and walked to Tongtong’s door.
"Xue Yuantong, it’s time to eat."
Separated by a door, Xue Yuantong was huddled under the covers, revealing only a small head with dark eyes. She pouted:
"Why are you calling my full name? So fierce!"
In the past, only when her mom was angry would she call her by her full name, and every time that happened, Xue Yuantong knew she was in trouble that day.
So whenever she heard that name called, she instinctively felt scared.
Jiang Ning: "I heard your mom call you like that, so I was just imitating."
"Don’t imitate!" Xue Yuantong said fiercely, throwing off the blanket to get up.
Today, she still has to go to Changqing Liquid Company with Chuchu, in the capacity of an employee’s family member.
Ten minutes later, in Chuchu’s kitchen.
A square wooden table with three small stools.
Jiang Ning picked up a piece of lotus root, tasted it, and found it crispy and refreshing. Chuchu’s cooking skills had improved again.
She really worked hard on her cooking skills.
Xue Yuantong ate a bit and asked: "Chuchu, did you play games at Jiang Ning’s place last night?"
How could Xue Chuchu possibly have gone!
She hadn’t even set foot into Jiang Ning’s yard last night: "No."
"Why didn’t you go play?" Xue Yuantong felt a slight lack of accomplishment for not getting Chuchu hooked.
In her mind, she should have introduced Chuchu into the world of gaming, and even if she stopped accompanying her, Chuchu should have a strong self-interest in playing games.
That way, she could consider herself a successful guide.
Xue Chuchu: "I went home to study."
Xue Yuantong: "I just can’t do it, every time I study for ten minutes, my computer gets upset, so I have to spend several hours every day coaxing it."
"Alas, at such a young age, I understand how hard it is to be a mom," Xue Yuantong shook her head.
Xue Chuchu said: "...You play games for too long each time, Jiang Ning goes to sleep."
Xue Yuantong: "Speaking of which, I have to criticize Jiang Ning."
Xue Chuchu: "Hmm?"
"Jiang Ning has a very bad habit when he sleeps," Xue Yuantong said.
Xue Chuchu tentatively asked: "Snoring?"
After asking, she suddenly realized Jiang Ning was right there, was it a bit inappropriate to inquire about him in front of him?
She wasn’t the type of girl who liked to gossip behind people’s backs.
Xue Yuantong: "He doesn’t snore."
"Oh, oh," Xue Chuchu let out a sigh of relief for some reason.
In the past, when she and her mom visited her uncle’s house, after entering the yard, they suddenly heard cows mooing. Her mom was curious about when they started raising cows until they found out it was her uncle snoring.
It was terrifying.
Xue Yuantong: "He grinds his teeth."
Xue Chuchu: "Grinding teeth?"
"One afternoon, after playing League of Legends for five hours, I was about to go home and saw him grinding his teeth, sparks flying out!" Xue Yuantong was amazed.
Jiang Ning overheard this, upon hearing her slandering him and becoming more exaggerated, he couldn’t help but counter: "What sparks, that was the incense I lit."
He used the Soul Suppressing Fragrance for cultivation.
"You played games for too long and got your eyes tired." Jiang Ning said calmly.
Xue Yuantong retorted: "Then you go to sleep and let me see."
Jiang Ning: "You have a bad habit while sleeping too."
Xue Yuantong: "What bad habit?"
Jiang Ning: "Drooling."
Xue Yuantong was a bit nervous: "Really?"
Jiang Ning used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of lotus root: "I’ll record it for you next time."
Xue Yuantong was afraid he might be telling the truth and initially wanted to argue, but she got wiser and started accusing Jiang Ning of grinding his teeth.
And she wanted Chuchu to testify with her.
Upon hearing this, Xue Chuchu said: "Isn’t that not good?"
Xue Yuantong: "What’s bad about it? If you come, you can even help share it, then we can take turns, alternating shifts!"
Hearing her words, Xue Chuchu couldn’t help but feel something was off.
