Chapter 108: Kiss
As soon as Anuo entered the house, she smelled the aroma of food.
Her mouth watered at the aroma, and her eyes turned to the living room, where the dining table was already laden with food.
While Tang Ting and Winnie were finishing up in the kitchen, Otto and the others went to get the cutlery.
After helping her wash her hands, Locke placed her in the middle of the dining table.
Because she didn't like the baby chair, her chair was a raised chair that her grandfather, Phil, made for her. It was the same as everyone else's chair, just at a different height, so that she could reach the table and eat with them.
She had barely sat down when Karina and Bai Zhou returned from training.
Karina is very self-disciplined. Even during her vacation, she never stopped training every day. Except when she went to visit Anno, she would get up early and go to the training venue every other day.
Baizhou has already started school. The sixth and seventh graders started school half a month earlier than other students, and they spent those half a month in special training outside.
Because Anno was discharged from the hospital today, he made a special trip back to have a meal with his family.
As soon as Karina returned, she put her bag on the shelf next to her and walked straight towards Anno, reaching out to pat Anno's head. "Finally discharged from the hospital."
She saw that she had been staying in the hospital for two months, and even the quietest person would feel restless.
Bai Zhou also came over and patted her head, wanting to lean in and kiss her little face, but An Nuo skillfully pushed her away.
Bai Zhou chuckled and sighed, "Still won't let you kiss."
Aside from elders like Locke and Winnie, she wouldn't let anyone else kiss her in the family.
Anuo was actually embarrassed. After all, she had lived on Earth for sixteen years and always felt that she was the same age as Bai Zhou and the others.
My mother and her family are elders who have lived for over a hundred years, so of course we can be close to them.
Although their age is not apparent from their appearance, their demeanor is quite different from that of younger people.
"I'll give it a try."
Karina, who was heading towards the restroom, suddenly turned around and, before Anno could react, bent down and kissed her on the forehead.
Anno was startled when he saw Karina's face suddenly approaching, and then he reached out and pushed her face away.
Karina smiled slightly, took her hand, and kissed her forehead again.
Anno lowered her head in annoyance, clutching her skirt, her face and ears burning.
She had originally intended to sit on the stool and wait for dinner, but she immediately climbed down from the stool, walked to the corner of the sofa, and plopped down in the lap of the big rabbit that Ota had given her, with her back to them.
Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow: "Oh no, they're angry."
Karina looked at the ribbon of light swaying behind Anno's ear and said, "No, she's shy."
Bai Zhou: "Then I can try it like that next time."
Karina: "You can't."
Bai Zhou turned his head to look at Karina, "Second sister, if you can do it, why can't I?"
Karina: "She feels differently about me than she feels about you. She'll really get angry if you kiss her."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the restroom.
Wash your hands and eat. Xiaoqi is shy right now and doesn't want to talk to anyone. I'll coax her later.
Bai Zhou watched Karina's retreating figure and thought to himself, "Why does it seem like my second sister is starting to enjoy fooling people?"
Why is our little one sitting here?
As soon as Eve entered the house, her eyes searched for Anno. She saw that the dining table was already full of food, but Anno was sitting on a doll with his back to them.
What's going on? Is she throwing a tantrum?
She went over and picked her up. "What's wrong, Nuonuo? Who made Nuonuo angry?"
Anno hugged her neck and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not angry."
I'm just a little depressed.
Tao Tao Le leaned over and said to Eve with an indignant look, "Little Seven got kissed by Second Sister! Little Seven doesn't like kisses!"
Tao Tao and the others were all afraid of Karina, so she assumed that Anno was also afraid of Karina.
Hearing Tao Tao Le say that, Eve and Locke were all amused.
The baby isn't angry; she's clearly just shy.
Ivana touched Anno's face with the band of light; it was still burning hot.
She patted Anuo's back reassuringly, "Baby, shall we eat now?"
"Um."
Eve put her back in the chair, and Tang Ting placed a small bowl of mixed baby food in front of her and put the spoon in her hand.
With such a big table of delicious food, she definitely has to eat some too. It would be too much to ask her to just eat complementary food.
Luo Jin and Tang Ting sat down on either side of Anuo, and the rest of the family members also took their seats.
Philt was the last to return. He is now the Legion's instructor, responsible for training officers and handling some Legion affairs. He previously retired from the position of commander, and while he is of the same rank as the commanders, he is actually a bit higher. After all, all the officers in the Legion came from his ranks, and three of the ten Legions in the North River System are his students.
"Father."
Upon seeing Fürth, Ivana stood up and hugged him.
They've all been busy these days, and I haven't seen them for a while.
Philt smiled and patted her head. "I wanted to come see you, but you've been so busy lately, I was afraid of disturbing your work."
After saying that, Philt walked over to Anno, picked her up from the chair and held her in his arms, saying, "Our little darling is finally home. Grandpa will take you out to play in a couple of days."
Winnie waved to him: "Put the baby down quickly, she's eating."
Philt chuckled as he put Anno down and sat down next to Winnie.
"Ivana, what have you been busy with lately?"
Doris asked casually.
Eve paused, and Tang Ting and Logan also looked at her.
She smiled and said, "It's just handling some trivial matters. There's always more to worry about when it comes to the affairs of the Fire Seed."
"Today is the baby's first day officially home, we should celebrate it properly."
Tang Ting changed the subject, stood up, opened a bottle of wine, and poured it for everyone.
Tao Tao exclaimed happily, "I want to drink too!"
Ota glanced at her sideways: "What are you drinking for? You're not allowed to drink if you're underage."
As he spoke, he pushed the juice in front of her.
Peach Peach pouted and gulped down her juice.
Anno stared at the wine in Tang Ting's glass, her nose twitching.
The wine smells wonderful; she wants to drink some too.
In the past, wine was a luxury item, very expensive. When she returned from a big mission, she would receive a bottle of wine as a reward, but she couldn't bear to drink it. She would only take a small sip each time she couldn't resist.
She's not allergic to alcohol, so will it be okay for her to have a sip?
The adults drank alcohol, the children drank juice, and Anuo was also given a little juice in a baby bottle.
While everyone was eating and chatting, Anno reached for Tang Ting's wine glass.
Before Tang Ting could even sit down, Anno took his drink away.
"Hey! Baby can't drink this!"
Before everyone could react, the wine had already entered Anno's mouth.
Luo Jin quickly snatched the wine from Anuo's hand, "Baby, spit it out."
Anuo smacked her lips, still savoring the taste. This wine was so fragrant, much better than anything she had ever had before.
