Chapter 394 Such a Life
Xia Xinjue skillfully prepared the formula, tested the temperature, and quickly went upstairs to feed his daughter.
After he went up, the baby's crying quickly stopped.
Xie Tu didn't want to follow, so he got up and walked to the restaurant.
He walked to the window and stood there alone.
The dining room is located to the left of the living room, with half of it incorporated into the interior and the other half open to the terrace. It is sheltered from the wind and rain by a glass door and faces the tall sycamore trees in the backyard.
Song Liang's sister knows how to enjoy life; her yard is filled with flowers and greenery whose names she doesn't know.
You can smell the fragrance of flowers as soon as you open the window.
The terrace next to the kitchen has scallions growing in flowerpots, which can be reached by simply pushing open the kitchen window.
Song Liang came out of the kitchen carrying plates in both hands. He didn't treat the team leader like an outsider and called out towards the stairs, "Dinner's ready."
There was a commotion coming from upstairs.
Yun Zhaohe and his family of three appeared in the stairwell.
The little bluebird perched on her shoulder, its head held high with an air of haughtiness, gazing at the human cub in Xia Xinjue's arms ahead.
After the baby had eaten and drunk his fill, he stared at his father with his round eyes.
Xia Xinjue lowered his head, chuckling as he teased his daughter in his arms, making strange noises.
Ah, strange sentry.
Xie Tu's gaze followed this scene.
I suddenly wonder what it feels like to hold such a tiny human baby in your arms.
Yun Zhao was still talking to Song Qing when he suddenly felt a ripple in Xie Tu's mental landscape, as if he had been touched by something.
She looked up, her eyes filled with utter bewilderment.
The inner city is very safe, and there was no other pungent smell in Sister Song Liang's house except for the smell of baby milk.
His mental defenses had already been built up.
This slight milky aroma shouldn't cause any turmoil in the region.
Yun Zhao asked with his eyes.
Xie Tu knew she was concerned about him, and his heart warmed. He walked up to her and whispered, "I'm fine."
"Team Leader Xie, Guide Yun, come and sit down, the food will get cold and won't taste good," Song Qing called out.
Xia Xinjue carefully placed his daughter in the cradle and carried it to the restaurant.
I felt I was neglecting the guests.
"Sorry, the baby is a bit fussy." Xia Xinjue said somewhat apologetically.
Xie Tu snapped out of his thoughts, "The child is too young, it's normal for him to be fussy."
Yun Zhao also hummed in agreement. She didn't feel neglected; in fact, she felt uncomfortable being paid too much attention to her.
"What are you all standing there for? Sit down and eat and chat," Song Liang called out to everyone.
The captain used to be the only one among his teammates who had never visited his home because of his overly acute senses.
Song Liang never treats his teammates as outsiders.
We've been through thick and thin together; we're like family.
"Captain, would you like some wine?"
Song Liang turned around and asked, "My brother-in-law is still recovering and can't drink. If you want to drink, I'll have some with you."
Yun Zhao froze for a moment, then pulled Xie Tu's arm and sat him down. Without thinking much, he replied for him, "He's not drinking; he has to drive later."
What if he embarrasses himself at someone else's house with his low alcohol tolerance?
Xie Tu offered no explanation, leaving Yun Zhao to make the decision for him.
Song Qing's gaze darted between the two of them, and she looked at them with surprise, as if she had discovered something new. She smiled and said, "Yes, drink less alcohol and have some soup instead."
The table was already laden with a sumptuous feast.
Everyone chatted while eating.
The topics were mostly about the base's plans for this year.
The conversation started with the launch site under construction outside, and then moved on to the planned twin towers...
Yun Zhao didn't interrupt, eating his food and listening quietly.
She ate quickly, but the food in her bowl kept piling up. The man next to her chatted while keeping putting meat on her plate.
Halfway through the meal.
The baby, restless in the cradle, started crying again.
Xia Xinjue got up and came over, holding his daughter in his arms. He carefully protected the child in his arms while using his other hand to pick up food, his movements so skillful that it seemed he had practiced countless times.
The baby stopped crying immediately when held by his father, waving his chubby little hands and making "ee-ee-ya-ya" sounds, which was very cute.
Xie Tu noticed the baby staring at him curiously, paused for a moment, and didn't know how to amuse the child.
Make him make that strange sound like Xia Xinjue.
He can't do it.
"Would you like to hold the baby?" Song Qing noticed and suggested with a smile.
Xie Tu withdrew his gaze, stood up, and served Yun Zhao soup. "No, thank you." The baby was too fragile, and he was afraid of hurting the child if he didn't control his strength properly.
Song Liang looked strange and buried his head in his rice.
I felt that the captain was acting strangely today, but he and Yun Zhao seemed to be getting along well and didn't look like they had a fight.
I can't think of the reason right now.
Yun Zhao also found it strange.
She took the soup bowl and glanced at him subconsciously.
But Xie Tu didn't say anything, and instead gave her a small soup spoon and placed it next to the bowl.
It was already dark when we finished our meal.
Team Zero will have training tomorrow.
Yun Zhao sat for a while, then took his leave.
Song Qing didn't want to stop her, so she took out two bags and handed them to Yun Zhao, saying, "This is a small thank-you gift. It's jam I made with fruit. Take it back and try it."
"The other thing was sent by Lao Liang."
Xia Xinjue picked up his daughter and added, "Old Liang told us to make sure he gave it to you. He couldn't come in person today, but he'll thank you another day."
Yun Zhao had become somewhat immune to such talk, and reached out to take the bag, saying, "Thank you."
"Come visit us again when you get back," Song Qing said gently.
May everyone be safe and sound.
Yun Zhao nodded and waved to them, "Then we'll be going now."
Song Liang personally escorted the two to the car.
As the car drove into the night, the lights of the base in the distance twinkled like stars, and the cozy little home behind us gradually disappeared into the distance, hidden in an outline.
The car drove out of the residential area.
Yun Zhao couldn't help but ask Xie Tu, "What were you thinking about before dinner?"
The subtle connection resulting from the deep integration allowed her to sense movement immediately.
How could ripples appear in the spiritual realm for no reason?
Xie Tu held the steering wheel with one hand, reached out with the other to rub her head, and replied, "I was thinking about this kind of life, it's very happy."
*
The car was parked downstairs on East Third Street.
Yun Zhao was still thinking about what he had just said.
Are you happy?
A simple life is something that is hard to come by in this era.
Ordinary people struggle to make ends meet; they can't afford such houses or a table full of sumptuous dishes.
Although the sentries and guides seem to be doing well, they are constantly facing danger.
I wonder when this peaceful life will be disrupted.
Yun Zhao sighed and got out of the car with the gift bag in his hand.
Xie Tu followed her until he saw her into the elevator of the apartment building before returning to his car.
This morning he contacted the logistics department to come and renovate his house.
The plan is to open a back door leading to the open-air kitchen, and also to open two more windows on the second floor.
However, soundproof walls made of special materials are different from ordinary walls.
It would be extremely difficult to open windows or doors on it.
The logistics department staff worked all day and only managed to cut a few rectangular holes in two walls.
The walls of my house are now dilapidated and drafty.
He then temporarily abandoned his plan to abduct people and bring them home.
She went there and didn't get enough rest.
Let's wait until the house is finished before making any decisions.
Xie Tu drove out of the base while thinking about something.
At this moment, the communicator vibrated slightly, indicating that it had received two messages from Minister Duan.
The dwelling in the valley was built by the base with great care and effort to stabilize his mental state.
He can change it whenever he wants now.
Minister Duan must have received the message.
[Minister Duan]: "You're making a mess of things for no reason, it's like you're trying to rip me off. If you're interested, just tell them clearly. Don't just think about living together without giving them a proper status!"
[Minister Duan]: "What was your answer when I asked you that day? You said you respected other people's opinions, but then you turned around and did these dirty tricks on me..."
Sure enough, it was someone who sent him a message cursing him.
Xie Tu seemed to be used to it, and simply replied, "Then I'll trouble the minister to talk to her again and ask her to give me a proper status as soon as possible."
It can be considered a direct admission of one's feelings.
Minister Duan's burning anger abruptly ceased, and he suddenly fell silent.
