Chapter 399 Extra: Never Part 1
On the first day of the new year, Beichen Base welcomed the first rain of the new year.
The sound of the rain is dripping, disturbing people's sweet dreams.
Huo Lingge came out of the room in the small building, walked to the balcony, and stretched his hand into the rain.
The continuous raindrops fell on the palms of my hands, making me feel cold to the bone.
Huo Lingge withdrew his hand, hugged his shoulders and shook it.
Outside, Butler Ning knocked three times and said softly, "Miss Lingge, are you awake? The young master and the young lady are already in the restaurant."
Restaurant? Oh, after breakfast today, I'm going to the ancestral hall to burn the first incense of the New Year to the ancestors of the Huo family.
Huo Lingge responded and walked over to open the door.
Butler Ning led her downstairs. Suddenly thinking of something, he lowered his voice and said, "Miss Lingge, the temperature has dropped in the past few days, and the eldest young master has been coughing badly every night..."
Huo Lingge paused for a moment, trying to sound normal: "Brother, haven't you taken your medicine these past two days?"
The base has been quite busy these days, with Huo Sichan leaving early and returning late, so they rarely meet.
Butler Ning said helplessly: "You know the eldest young master's temper. He sent the medicine over and then forgot about it."
Huo Sichan had not recovered from his injury, he did not like taking medicine, and he often stayed up late recently... Butler Ning could not control him, so he had to find Huo Lingge.
"I see." Huo Lingge understood what the housekeeper meant and nodded. "Big brother should be free these two days. I'll keep an eye on him. Don't worry, Uncle Ning."
Butler Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "Especially, we can't let him stay up late anymore."
In the words of these young people, if you continue to endure, you will be dead before all your hair falls out.
…
After offering incense to the ancestors, Huo Lingyin went to the special power team as usual, and Huo Lingge pushed Huo Sichan to go home.
"I'm going to the office building." Huo Sichan stopped Huo Lingge, coughing and whispering, "There are still some documents to be approved in the office."
"On New Year's Day, you went to the office to review documents?" Huo Lingge was so angry that he laughed. "Huo Sichan, do you think this base and the people in it can't survive without you?"
Huo Sichan didn't want to argue with her: "I'm just doing my job."
When this guy gets stubborn, even ten oxen can't pull him back.
Huo Lingge agreed with him: "Okay, since you love your work so much, then go for it."
She covered his legs with a blanket and turned the wheelchair in another direction.
Huo Sichan emphasized: "I will go there by myself, you go home and rest."
Huo Lingge: "I have nothing to do at home, so why don't I go with you to the office building? It's been so long since the apocalypse, and I haven't been to the Military Control Building yet. Now that the disaster is almost over, I have to go see where you work."
“…There’s nothing to see…”
"Where you are is the best scenery." Huo Lingge smiled, "What's more, it's where you have been working."
Smooth talk!
Huo Sichan covered his mouth and coughed silently.
…
The two met Huo Lingyin again at the entrance of the Military Control Commission Building, and the three siblings looked at each other in surprise.
"No way, Huo Sichan, you're still here to work today?!" Huo Lingyin was the first to speak, her tone filled with disbelief. "Are you addicted to work? It's New Year's Day, and there's no one here. Don't you feel creeped out?"
"Why is there no one here?" Huo Sichan spoke fluently to his sister. "Aren't you a human?"
Huo Lingyin stamped her feet and said, "I'm at the door, not even in. I finally got a vacation, but everything I see that has to do with work makes me want to throw up."
Huo Lingge continued: "Ah, sister, are you waiting for Ah Heng here?"
She called out so intimately that Huo Lingyin and Huo Sichan turned to look at her at the same time.
I couldn't see their gazes clearly, but I had a feeling that something was wrong. Huo Lingge blinked her lifeless eyes and said, "Sister and Ah Heng chose to have a date at the Military Control Building, uh..."
"It's just a gathering place. Who said we should date in the Military Control Building?" Huo Lingyin said angrily, "I'm not Huo Sichan, how could I be so unromantic?"
Huo Sichan sneered: "You are a romantic, remember to pay off your previous romantic debts before you go to harm Huo Heng."
Huo Lingyin was speechless: "..."
Worried that the two siblings would start fighting if they continued talking, Huo Lingge pushed Huo Sichan to the office without waiting for Huo Heng to come over.
Huo Lingyin rolled her eyes at the backs of the two people leaving - Huo Sichan still had the nerve to despise her. He was such a smart man, couldn't he see through Huo Lingge's little thoughts about him?
Humph, you bastard, you keep hanging out with a girl, you deserve to be single for the rest of your life.
…
Huo Sichan didn't like being disturbed while working, so he found a book for Huo Lingge to pass the time, and began to review the documents that had piled up before the New Year.
The disaster is almost over, and post-disaster reconstruction is another major project.
Before the Lunar New Year, Shen Yang had contacted him and confirmed the time for the meeting of the four major bases after the Lunar New Year. Once the meeting arranged the next work... Huo Sichan sighed softly: I wonder if he will have the chance to see the vibrant world after the reconstruction.
"Brother." While he was lost in thought, Huo Lingge came to his side without knowing when, "I'm so cold."
Her slender fingers brushed against his face, and the cool touch brought the man back to his senses.
Huo Sichan wanted to hide, but he held back: "Why are your hands so cold?"
"I'm cold." He didn't hide. Huo Lingge took advantage of the situation and slid her fingers into his turtleneck sweater. "It's warmer this way..."
The cold fingers slid down along the skin of her neck, vaguely touching her collarbone. Huo Sichan wanted to push the girl's hand away: "Don't be silly, if you're cold, go back..."
"I don't want to." Huo Lingge leaned over the back of the chair, her fingers groping in his collar, "I want to work with you."
Huo Sichan: "Then go sit down and I'll get you a hand warmer."
"No." Huo Lingge said shamelessly, "I want it this way."
Huo Sichan: "..." She just didn't want him to work with peace of mind.
…
When Huo Sichan returned to the Huo family compound, he had a gloomy face and looked as if he wanted to keep strangers away.
Uncle Ning looked at Huo Lingge inquiringly, and Huo Lingge said with a smile: "Uncle Ning, is my brother's medicine ready?"
"It will take another half an hour."
"I'll take Big Brother back to his room to rest first. The medicine is ready. Uncle Ning, please help bring it up."
"Okay!"
Watching the two siblings go upstairs, Uncle Ning sighed: As expected, to deal with the eldest young master, the third young lady has to take action.
…
After lunch and taking medicine, Huo Lingyin helped him to bed and told him to have a good rest in the afternoon.
Perhaps it was because he had been too absorbed in his work recently, or perhaps it was because the medicine took effect quickly, Huo Sichan fell asleep quickly.
The sound of rain outside the window changed from pattering to crackling.
When Huo Sichan woke up, it was already midnight.
The man looked at the dim light in the room and was briefly dazed.
Where is he...?
As if in response to his question, the door of the room was pushed open and the girl came in quietly.
She was familiar with the furnishings of his room and groped her way to the bed.
For some reason, Huo Sichan subconsciously closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
"Brother...Brother?" The girl called out softly twice, but stopped when she heard no response.
Huo Lingge could hardly see anything at night. Thinking of this, Huo Sichan opened his eyes, and there was more pity in his eyes.
He wanted to ask her what was wrong.
As a result, before he could say anything, a figure swayed in front of him, and then the quilt felt cold. The little girl had already climbed onto the bed consciously, hugging him tightly with her hands and feet like an octopus.
Huo Sichan's breathing stopped.
Huo Lingge seemed unaware, but her arms around him tightened unconsciously.
