Chapter 1693 - 923: Morning Dew
River dam, night.
Xue Chuchu faced the questioning of the two, feeling lonely like a fragile flower in the wind.
While she pondered how to oppose them, Jiang Ning suddenly revealed a smile: "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore, you don’t have to make breakfast for me tomorrow morning."
Seeing Jiang Ning suddenly back down, Xue Chuchu felt unaccustomed. During the holiday days, she would always satisfy Jiang Ning’s unreasonable demands. Could it be that he has discovered his conscience now?
Xue Yuantong looked at Jiang Ning and asked crisply: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ning did not answer, instead, he instructed: "Chuchu, after having breakfast tomorrow, please take Tongtong to the school gate."
"What about you?" Xue Chuchu asked in confusion.
Jiang Ning explained: "I have to go out and handle some matters tomorrow morning."
Xue Yuantong questioned: "What matters are you handling without telling me? Are you hiding something bad from me!"
Her small face was full of the expression ’see, I’ve caught you’, as if uncovering Jiang Ning’s hidden plan.
Jiang Ning admitted openly: "Yes, I am hiding it from you."
Xue Yuantong was furious: "How dare you admit you’re hiding from me? Have you thought it through?"
Jiang Ning: "It’s precisely because I want to be good with you that I’m hiding it."
Xue Chuchu found it somewhat reasonable at first, but quickly realized something was off.
But as the head of the family, Jiang Ning’s authority was beyond doubt. He decided on the plan for the next day.
...
March, the days start to warm, and daylight stretches longer.
As dawn breaks, Jiang Ning pushes his titanium gray electric bike out the door.
Using Divine Sense, he scanned the house next door. Last night, Tongtong swore to get up early to intercept him, but she snugly wrapped herself in the quilt, sleeping sweetly.
He chuckled softly, mounted the electric bike, and turned the throttle.
The weather is wonderful, the wheat seedlings in the fields are tender green, and the air is filled with the moist fragrance of soil and grass flowers. He leisurely rode his electric bike towards the urban area.
Urban area, next to the neighborhood, by the street shops.
A girl’s graceful silhouette stood still, dressed in a pure black down jacket. Although it’s a slimming style, her chest area still bulged.
She seemed worried about looking too bulky, thus she was checking her reflection in the shop’s floor-to-ceiling window, occasionally tiptoeing, slightly tilting her body, even curving her lips into a sweet smile.
Jiang Ning saw from afar the girl’s cautious actions.
She had a simple high ponytail, full of vitality, without heavy makeup or colored contacts, only a small bear hair clip on the ponytail, standing clean and fresh.
As if standing in the purity of youth.
Jiang Ning stopped the electric bike and slowly walked to Geng Lu’s side.
Geng Lu noticed the tall figure intruding into the reflection in the window and couldn’t help but turn her face, eyes full of surprise.
Jiang Ning didn’t look at her, instead, he gazed at the girl in the window, speaking timely: "Very beautiful."
Geng Lu’s gaze froze, then her cheeks flushed with pink like peach blossoms: "Thank you."
Jiang Ning dangled the bike keys: "Let’s go, I’ll take you for breakfast, I know a good place."
He mounted the electric bike but hadn’t started yet when a warm softness came from behind.
Jiang Ning sighed inwardly.
He smiled and said: "You’re dressed warmly."
Geng Lu sniffed the fresh scent from him, maintaining a smile at her lips: "It’s winter after all, it gets cold."
She hadn’t felt this way in a long time.
Jiang Ning: "Yes, wearing more is good."
Hearing Jiang Ning’s simple reply, Geng Lu didn’t fall into silence like other girls. Her affection was bold, she laughed twice, shy yet wanton: "Guess how many layers I am wearing?"
Jiang Ning didn’t take it seriously; as a Cultivator, he needed to guess?
However, one shouldn’t be too clear about everything, so he accompanied her: "Three layers maybe."
Geng Lu: "Wrong, it’s four layers. If you count the entire outfit, it’s nine layers!"
Saying this, she seemed a bit cold, sticking closer, Jiang Ning could even feel the ripples from her heartbeat.
Jiang Ning praised her: "You’re truly like an onion girl."
Geng Lu giggled.
"By the way, what are you taking me to eat?" Geng Lu asked.
Jiang Ning: "Don’t ask, just follow and eat."
Geng Lu: "Whatever you take me to eat is fine, I don’t eat much anyway."
"Easy to maintain then." Jiang Ning replied.
"Yes, yes, you can even take care of me." Geng Lu said with a smile.
Jiang Ning: "Afraid it’s not possible, I even find taking care of a pot of green radish troublesome."
Geng Lu: "It’s okay, I can find food myself and my drawing skills have improved a lot, I’ve even taken some art commissions!"
"Impressive."
As they chatted, Jiang Ning parked the electric bike by the roadside, and in front lay the sign of ’Huang Family Pancakes’.
A middle-aged woman, apron-clad, was busy in front of the cylindrical pancake oven.
Until Jiang Ning approached, she recognized him with a weathered smile: "Young man, you’re here again."
Jiang Ning: "Six pancakes, two bowls of Chicken Egg Soup."
While speaking, a girl in her early twenties emerged from the shop, standing at 1.7 meters, slender, her complexion slightly pale.
She recognized Jiang Ning too. It had been about half a year since he last came, unexpectedly meeting him again.
He was as handsome as the first time they met, tall and thin, wearing a black trench coat. However, this time, there was a girl about his age by his side.
"Come inside and sit down, I’ll serve you the soup."
Jiang Ning glanced inside the shop, its business seemed better than before, nearly half of the seats occupied.
"No need, you go ahead, we’ll serve ourselves some eggs and give it a try."
"Alright then."
So Jiang Ning took an egg, tapped it on the table, and cracked it into a bowl.
Geng Lu was trying this for the first time, imitating him, tapping an egg, surprisingly revealing two yolks, a rare double-yolk egg.
