Cheng Zhen opened the door and came in. The two little ones were both stunned. Jiang Xiaoxin dropped the hamburger in her mouth with a "plop," and the next second, she burst into tears: "Waaah~ Mommy..."
Jiang Xiaoshu put down the hamburger and milk, hugged her younger sister who was crying and hiccuping again, and glared at the culprit while her serious little face was full of accusation.
Why are you here again?
My sister has cried more in a whole year than she has today. This man is so annoying!
So annoying!
Jiang Wan put down the spatula and came out of the kitchen, her face showing surprise and uncertainty: "Why are you here again?"
The key point is, she clearly closed the door properly: "How did you get in?"
Cheng Zhen shrugged: "I saw you enter the password."
Jiang Wan frowned. She was very careful in this regard, and she deliberately covered her hand when entering the door with the password. She didn't believe he could still see it.
Unless...he has some special ability?
“The combination lock isn’t secure, I’ll replace it for you.” Cheng Zhen opened the bag he was carrying, took out the new lock he had just bought, and then, based on his memory, found the necessary tools in the cabinet in the storage room before starting to change the lock.
The two little ones were so shocked that they lost their appetite for the hamburger. Jiang Wan also frowned, wondering what kind of man had this habit of talking to himself.
"Mother……"
Suddenly, the silly little sister wrinkled her nose and hugged her leg.
"Hmm?" Jiang Wan thought she was frightened, so she reached out and gently patted her back.
"Is something cooking in the kitchen? It's all burnt..."
Jiang Wan then came to her senses and, disregarding the lock on her door, rushed back to the kitchen.
Cheng Zhen's new lock is a fingerprint lock, which can record the fingerprints of two people. Jiang Wan finished recording her fingerprint and was about to call Jiang Xiaoshu over to record her fingerprint when Cheng Zhen calmly said:
"It's full, he can't record anymore."
"What?"
"I've already recorded it." Cheng Zhen held up his finger, showing her the finger that had been entered into the access control system.
Jiang Wan was truly enraged this time: "Hey! What's wrong with you? Do I know you? What's our relationship? We've only known each other for less than three hours, right? I don't even know your name. What gives you the right to barge into my house?"
"Also, this is my home. Did I give you permission to register your fingerprint on my door?"
Jiang Wan has a naturally cold and aloof appearance. When she is at home and doesn't smile or get angry, she looks very fierce. When she loses her temper, she becomes even more imposing and makes people shudder.
This was only the second time the twins had ever seen her so fierce since they could remember. The first time was when their maternal grandparents, step-grandmothers, and aunts brought the police to them and tricked them into opening the door. The two little ones were so scared that they shrank back, holding hands and hiding behind the sofa, only their little heads showing.
The little girl asked in a low voice, "Will this strange uncle hit Mommy?"
Jiang Xiaoshu frowned, said nothing, looked around, and quietly ran to the toy room, bringing back a baseball bat.
The silly little sister took one look and suddenly realized, said "Oh", and went to grab one too.
But the adult war they imagined didn't happen, because the creepy uncle seemed very cowardly to them, and he was stunned when his mother scolded him.
Then, in a polite tone, I introduced myself: "My name is Cheng Zhen, Cheng as in 'a bright future' and Zhen as in 'gradually reaching a better state'."
"I am currently a company commander in the First Army of the Xiangcheng City Guard. I am thirty years old and single..."
Seeing that their mother's expression was getting worse, they quickly and consciously erased their fingerprints from the fingerprint lock.
However, he also refused to take their fingerprints, reasoning that "they are too young and have no ability to protect themselves; taking their fingerprints might not be a good thing for them."
The two little ones were very angry; this strange uncle had ulterior motives!
What's infuriating is that their mother actually thought it made sense, so after recording the left hand, she recorded the right hand, and both fingerprints on the fingerprint lock were hers!
The two little ones were still angry, but when they saw the strange uncle's discomfiture, they suddenly felt much better and sat down on the sofa together again, holding hands and drinking milk together.
The simple-minded girl glanced at the hamburger that had fallen to the ground, sighed, and said, "It's dirty, I can't eat it."
Ugh... what a waste!
Then, secretly turning around, and before his mother noticed, he quickly jumped off the sofa and picked it up.
With wide eyes, she carefully examined the hamburger, found nothing dirty, patted it with her little hand, and then took a big bite.
Jiang Xiaoshu watched her silly sister's actions the whole time, her lips twitched, and she silently placed the hamburger she hadn't finished eating in front of her.
After Jiang Wan finished recording her fingerprints, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Cheng Zhen: "Is there anything else?"
They were utterly blunt, practically telling him to "get lost."
But Cheng Zhen didn't seem to notice anything amiss. Instead, she smiled good-naturedly and said, "Ah, it smells so good! What have you been doing?"
As he spoke, he walked past her into the kitchen, and then, quite naturally and shamelessly, carried dishes and soup in one hand and back and forth two or three times, bringing out all the food that Jiang Wan had prepared and placing it on the table.
Then, with a grin, he served himself rice and said, "I'm starving. I don't have time to go back to the military region's canteen. Things are a bit tricky with Yu Fen. I need to finish eating quickly so I can go help him."
Jiang Wan and the twins stared in disbelief: Had their mother invited him to dinner?
No!
So rude, taking things without asking. Is he really the captain of the city guard? Or is he a bandit who ran out of some mountain village?
If Yu Fen were here, seeing his usually strong, cold, and ruthless captain not only cowardly and shameless, but even with a smile on his usually deadpan face, he would definitely think he had been struck by lightning to have such a misconception!
Cheng Zhen smiled kindly at the twins: "You eat too. Uncle will leave after he finishes eating, so don't be afraid."
Jiang Wan's expression was complicated, but her feelings were even more complicated than her expression. She washed the twins' hands, put bibs on them, and served them food to eat by themselves.
Cheng Zhen ate very quickly, as he was indeed in a hurry. During the meal, he received a distress call from Yu Fen, so he put down his bowl and immediately got up and left.
Reaching the door, he pulled a handful of crystal vouchers from his pocket, placed them on the cabinet in the entryway, and said, "This is my food allowance!"
Before Jiang Wan could react, the person was gone, leaving only a gust of wind as the door closed.
The twins exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling: the creepy uncle was finally gone!
After cleaning up after dinner, Jiang Wan counted the crystal vouchers left by Cheng Zhen, and there were actually fifty of them! Each voucher was worth five crystals!
That means he left behind a crystal voucher worth 250!
When did her meal become worth so much money?
How could she not know?
Holding so many crystal vouchers in my hands is too hot to handle; I need to find a chance to return them.
The next day, Jiang Wan took the twins out of the city to dig for crystals as usual. In the car, Mi Mang suddenly stood up and reminded everyone: "The Guoya District is not safe recently. Remember not to go there."
