Chapter 68 Meeting (Happy Winter Solstice)
When Jiang Kai found Mi Bao's house, Mi Bao was eating hot pot with Chao Yang, Ye Duo, and Yu Tao.
It was a celebration for Mibao and the other two to arrive safely at the oasis.
A sense of ceremony is still necessary.
All three children are very ritualistic people.
It also allowed Yu Tao, an old professor who usually only stays in the laboratory, to feel the long-lost atmosphere of life.
Professor Yu is not married, has no children, and has very few friends.
Apart from doing experiments and research, I have almost no hobbies.
Someone once asked him, isn’t this boring?
Don’t you feel a headache looking at those complicated data values all day long?
Professor Yu always smiled and neither said yes nor no.
Because it is useless to talk to those who don’t understand.
It's not just having fun that can stimulate dopamine.
For Yu Tao, doing academic work and achieving academic success makes him happy.
Of course, it’s also very happy to relax like this occasionally.
The hot pot on the table was bubbling, and the aroma filled the whole room, making everyone's mouths water.
It was not easy to get the ingredients for the hot pot. It cost almost two hundred points, and it was only with the help of Yu Tao's connections that he was able to get some fresh vegetables.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who would come at this time?"
Yu Tao was a little confused, but still got up and opened the door.
Then he came face to face with Jiang Kai at the door.
Jiang Kai blinked: "Hello, are you... Mibao's father?"
Although he wanted to avoid Mibao's father, he only had three days and spent one day in quarantine, so he really had no time to stay there.
So after thinking about it, I decided to just come directly!
but……
Is Mibao’s father a little old?
Although the man in front of him was very elegant, he looked to be in his thirties.
Mibao is just over five years old.
I guess they will marry and have children later.
Thoughts raced through Jiang Kai's mind, while Yu Tao in front of him was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled and denied it: "You're mistaken, I'm not Mibao's father, I'm her father's colleague. May I ask who you are..."
"Me, I'm here to look for Mibao." Jiang Kai scratched his head. "How should I put it? This matter is a bit complicated. I was asked by someone, a distant relative of Mibao, to come and see her."
Distant relative?
And the person he was looking for was Mi Bao, not Ji Ruwen.
Yu Tao always felt that this matter was a little strange, but the young man in front of him didn't look like a bad person. After all, his eyes were quite clear.
So after thinking for a moment, he let Jiang Kai in - it was quite cold outside at the moment, and Jiang Kai was shivering with cold.
If you have anything to say, please come inside first.
There was a small sun in the room and a steaming hot pot, so it was of course much warmer than outside.
As soon as Jiang Kai came in, he wanted to sigh in comfort, but he felt that it was not a good idea, so he forced himself to hold it back.
Then, when I looked up, I met three pairs of sparkling eyes.
Jiang Kai: "...Hello?"
He gave what he thought was a kind smile.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Mi Bao blinked with curiosity, while Ye Duo beside him couldn't help but follow Chaoyang Cricket: "He smiles so silly."
Chaoyang nodded: "Yes, a little."
Fortunately, their voices were low and Jiang Kai didn't hear them.
"My name is Yu Tao. I don't know what your name is?" Yu Tao asked as he looked at Jiang Kai sitting down.
"My name is Jiang Kai. I was still a student before the end of the world. I was in my sophomore year." Jiang Kai also introduced himself, then stole a glance at Mi Bao.
Yu Tao nodded. "You said you were asked to come here by someone. Who is that person? Why didn't you come here yourself?"
"Well...it's not convenient for her to come." Jiang Kai scratched his head. "She, she's disfigured and a little injured. She doesn't want to go to crowded places."
Yu Tao nodded to show his understanding.
"Oh, by the way, there's another person named Zhaolu who wants me to ask her brother..."
"Sister Zhaolu!?" Mibao's eyes lit up instantly. "Where is she?"
Chaoyang immediately looked at Jiang Kai with a bit of anticipation and nervousness.
Is Chaolu still alive?
If you are alive, why do you need to ask someone to come in?
Ye Duo, who was standing aside, had obviously thought of this problem as well, and her eyes became nervous as she looked at Jiang Kai.
"She's...taking care of that old lady. She's near the base." Jiang Kai organized his words, "So I came in to find you."
Hearing that Chaolu was fine, Chaoyang and Yeduo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But Chaoyang soon raised a question: "Why let Chaolu take care of that...auntie instead of letting her come to us?"
Logically speaking, Chaolu is an acquaintance of theirs, so if Chaolu comes to them, even if they want to provide some help to people outside, they will definitely agree.
Why let Jiang Kai, a stranger, come to find them, and instead let Chaolu, a child, take care of people?
Something is wrong.
Nine out of ten things are wrong.
"this……"
Jiang Kai is a bit stuck.
This was not among the questions he had set in mind!
His brain raced furiously, and after a while he finally spoke haltingly, "I'm mainly worried about Zhaolu coming here alone, and it's dangerous. My aunt needs someone to help her... uh, I'm worried about letting her drive alone."
Although this explanation sounded reasonable, Dana Chaoyang was already wary of Jiang Kai.
"In that case, let's drive to pick her up tomorrow." Chaoyang stared at Jiang Kai, "Is that okay?"
Jiang Kai: “…”
Of course not!
Wouldn't that reveal my aunt's secret?
If there is a dispute...
What if my aunt gets angry and kidnaps Mibao?
All these people combined can't beat me.
But I definitely can’t refuse now, otherwise it will definitely arouse suspicion: “Ahaha, of course.”
Damn it, damn it, damn it. If I had known, I should have asked my aunt to wear something thicker before leaving, so that I could at least disguise myself.
With so many people passing by, once they see my aunt wearing thin summer clothes, they will definitely find that something is wrong with her!
Um……
He is going to kidnap Mibao tonight!
Jiang Kai made this decision in his mind.
But he didn't show it on his face, and still smiled.
Since this person was here, Yu Tao couldn't kick him out, so he asked him to sit down and eat hot pot together.
Jiang Kai's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he had no shortage of food and drink following his aunt, it was impossible for him to eat hot pot.
At this moment, she immediately smiled brighter than a flower: "Oh, this is very nice, and I even gave you a free meal."
He said sorry, but immediately picked up the bowl, and his eyes seemed to be stuck in the hot pot.
Everyone: “…”
Of course, everyone can understand it. After all, it is a luxury for everyone to have enough to eat nowadays, let alone eating hot pot?
It's reasonable to be so greedy.
While eating, Chaoyang would occasionally ask Jiang Kai about Chaolu's news. He thought Jiang Kai would be on guard, but he ended up blurting out everything like a careless person.
Emmm, just when I was about to update the scumbag, another recommendation came to keep me hanging. Okay, I will update twice a week until the end of the month, just in case I can get a benefit, Aba Aba~
