“Uncle, we will grow up quickly,” Jiang Chu said. “We’re about to unlock the first layer of our genetic lock!”
Looking at Jiang Chu and Luo Xiaobei, Luo Feng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Jiang Chu, thank you for taking care of Xiaobei and Xiaonan. Without you, they could not have grown up so quickly."
"Uncle, I should be thanking you," Jiang Chu said.
“Yes, in-laws, there’s no need to say that. We’re all family!” Jiang’s mother suddenly said.
At this moment, the atmosphere became awkward.
Jiang Chu rolled her eyes: "Mom, eat your food, eat your food!"
Luo's mother remained calm: "My dear in-law, there's nothing wrong with saying that. It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway."
"Cough cough cough!" Jiang Chu choked and coughed incessantly.
"You two have had enough." Luo Feng blushed. "It's not even close to happening yet! And you, Lao Jiang, what are you laughing at? Your silly son's overall combat strength is improving pretty fast, but why hasn't he made any progress in that area? Which of my daughters do you like? Can't you just say so?"
Jiang's father was also embarrassed: "Old Luo, can't we stop messing around? Can't we just drink quietly?"
Jiang Chu stood up and said expressionlessly, "Uncle, Dad, Mom, please continue eating. We need to get ready to leave soon!"
With a smile, Luo's mother asked, "Chu'er, what did you call me? Say it again."
Jiang Chu fled in tears: "I'm going to pee!"
"Hahaha!" Several parents laughed.
Luo Xiaonan secretly pinched her mother's thigh and said angrily, "Mom, stop bullying him all the time. That bitch is afraid of this!"
"You should seize the opportunity. I think Chu'er is so outstanding, there must be a lot of girls who like him at school. If you don't hurry up, your Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang won't be able to become in-laws."
"Mom, have you had too much to drink?" Luo Xiaobei quickly picked up his mother's wine glass and smelled it, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's not alcohol!"
...
A few minutes later, Luo Xiaonan went up to the second floor and entered the training room.
Seeing that Jiang Chu was already dressed, she walked over and playfully punched him, laughing, "Don't mind me, my parents are just talking nonsense!"
Jiang Chu looked at Luo Xiaonan, shook his head and said, "Xiaonan, I do have feelings for you."
Luo Xiaonan blushed, didn't say anything, but punched him again.
“But I’m a person who carries too many burdens in my heart,” Jiang Chu said. “I used to think of myself as a commoner, an ordinary person with no great ambitions. I just wanted to eat and drink my fill and live a life of leisure. But now I realize that when the country is in trouble, I also want to be a hero, and I also want to enjoy a big piece of the sky.”
“Jiang Chu…” Luo Xiaonan pressed down on Jiang Chu’s shoulder.
Jiang Chu was somewhat moved and hugged her tightly.
After struggling for a moment, Luo Xiaonan was unsure whether she should continue struggling.
This is a man who is truly sincere to himself.
At the most crucial moment when she unlocked the key, he rushed in and said a few words that inspired her.
Even when she needed help the most, they generously gave her 50 million KP.
This is a man who is extremely ruthless to himself.
For the past three months, he has suddenly awakened to his true self and become exceptionally strict with himself, training himself to be taller and stronger, even subjecting himself to self-torture.
But did Jiang Chu do this purely for her sake?
"Jiang Chu, tell me honestly, did you do this for me?"
Yes, but not entirely.
Jiang Chu said earnestly, "I thought I was a nobody, and I thought what I wanted to pursue was just pure affection."
But I discovered that when the country was destroyed and the family perished, what I wanted to pursue was also my dream of a prosperous and peaceful nation.
I want to expel the Tartars, I want to restore the Xia Kingdom, I want to ensure that every inch of the Xia Kingdom's land is no longer contaminated by bio-chemical monsters, I want to prevent the parents of all warriors from having to bury their children, I want…
As Jiang Chu spoke, his voice choked with emotion.
The desolation of soldiers is something many cannot understand.
It is a mourning for the fallen after a bloody battle, and even more so, the sorrow left to you by the last bullet.
There is a kind of helplessness that Jiang Chu has not yet experienced, but he has felt before.
I am not strong enough; I am still very weak.
I want to be a hero, to live under a vast sky, and to protect all the people I love.
Luo Xiaonan's heart was trembling violently.
"Do you know Jiang Chu?"
I also want to be a gentle woman, living a peaceful life with my beloved husband, taking care of my husband and raising our children.
But don't I share the same feelings as you?
Jiang Chu, for several years now, I've sealed away my emotions and love. I don't want anything else, I just want to become the best warrior!
But I've realized that I'm really, really much worse than you.
Jiang Chu, you always say you're not good enough for me, but do you know? I'm actually not good enough for you.
"Pumpkin, we've gone off-topic," Jiang Chu reminded him with a smile.
"Do you believe I'll beat you up? You're ruining such a beautiful atmosphere, you bitch!"
Jiang Chu remained silent.
I love you.
With the country destroyed and the home ruined, what can I offer you in return for your love?
I love you, but my country is about to fall and my home is about to perish. What can I use to love you?
I want to give you a future.
But if I'm not in this future, and I die on the journey, how can I save you? My love!
Jiang Chu didn't say these words aloud.
But Luo Xiaonan seemed to have heard it through his senses.
She cried, cried uncontrollably.
"Jiang Chu, I hate you, I hate you!"
Outside the training room, several pairs of eyes that had been peeking slowly withdrew their gazes and fell into deep thought.
Sentimentality is such a pretentious thing in peacetime.
But in this era of war and turmoil, it is so realistic and down-to-earth.
“Old Jiang, these two kids will never be separated in this lifetime.” Luo Feng looked at Jiang’s father and said meaningfully.
