Chen Wan was completely baffled by Yang Yang’s suggestion; how could she comfort someone?
She could manage to hit someone, but this was truly a life-or-death question Yang Yang had thrown at her.
Jiang Yanxin watched Chen Wan’s ears turn red without showing any emotion and smiled as she asked, “Yang Yang said for you to comfort me, how do you plan to do that?”
Chen Wan nervously brushed her long hair behind her neck, feeling a bit at a loss.
Seeing the expectant looks from both Jiang Yanxin and Yang Yang, she felt even more trapped.
Clearing her throat, her ears burning, she dared not look at Jiang Yanxin and finally stammered out a comforting phrase, “Drink more hot water and rest early.”
At this, Jiang Yanxin couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Chen Wan was just too funny; that was hardly comforting, it was more like a straight woman’s line.
Jiang Yanxin hugged Yang Yang, laughing so hard that her whole body shook, and a few drops of mist even clung to her delicate eyelashes.
Seeing Jiang Yanxin laugh because of her, Chen Wan’s ears turned even redder.
It wasn’t her fault; she just wasn’t good at comforting people.
Yang Yang, however, thought it was Mommy who had made Mama happy and looked at Chen Wan with admiration, clapping her little hands and praising, “Wow, Mommy is amazing, you made Mama happy right away!”
Chen Wan could only force a smile at Yang Yang, feeling guilty as she accepted the praise.
After all, looking at Jiang Yanxin, it didn’t seem like she had been comforted, but rather just amused.
After laughing for a while, Jiang Yanxin noticed Yang Yang still didn’t understand and pulled her into her arms, kissing her little face.
“Sweetheart, how are you so cute? Mommy’s little sunshine, so sweet.”
Yang Yang was also very happy to be praised by her mother, snuggling in Jiang Yanxin’s arms and acting cute.
Worried that Jiang Yanxin would bring up the earlier topic again, Chen Wan quickly turned around to start preparing dinner, her movements so fluid that Jiang Yanxin didn’t have time to stop her.
For dinner, Chen Wan made instant noodles she had picked up from a small shop, adding tomato hot pot seasoning to the pot.
Before long, the aroma of tomatoes filled the car.
Yang Yang had been listening to a story about Little Cow, but upon smelling the delicious scent, her little nose twitched.
She licked her lips and looked at Chen Wan with a hint of anxiety, asking, “Mommy, what are we having for dinner? It smells so good.”
The reason for her anxiety was that Yang Yang was afraid that after finally getting Mommy to like her a little, she might not like her anymore if she ate too much.
However, deep down, Yang Yang subconsciously felt that Mommy wouldn’t treat her that way, which is why she asked.
Chen Wan let the noodles cook in the pot, added some hot dogs, and turned around with a light smile, saying to Yang Yang, “Today we’re having tomato noodles. Don’t be fooled by the red broth; it’s not spicy at all. You’ll definitely like it, and Mommy will give you extra later.”
Jiang Yanxin played with Yang Yang’s little hand, glanced at Chen Wan, and reminded, “Don’t serve too much; eating too much at night isn’t easy to digest. Just like usual is fine.”
Chen Wan nodded in agreement, “Okay, after dinner, Mommy will tell you a story.”
Yang Yang excitedly nodded her little head, “Mommy, tell me the story of Little Cow later!”
Chen Wan smiled at Yang Yang and gently reassured, “Sure, whatever you want to hear, Mommy will tell you.”
As Chen Wan cooked the noodles, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly a black-and-white plush cow toy appeared in her hand.
Yang Yang excitedly pointed at the toy in Chen Wan’s hand, “Mommy! Cow, that’s a cow!”
Seeing the noodles were ready, Chen Wan quickly handed the little cow to Yang Yang’s small hands, “It’s a cow! Mommy got it from that big supermarket last time. I forgot about it in the chaos these days. You can play with it while Mommy serves your dinner.”
Chen Wan quickly turned off the stove and served the noodles, filling Yang Yang’s small bowl to the brim.
Yang Yang, excited, hugged her toy and wiggled her short legs in Jiang Yanxin’s arms, showing her the toy: “Mom! Mommy turned me into a little cow!”
Jiang Yanxin kissed Yang Yang’s small face and gently coaxed her, “Mommy sees it, so play nicely with it.”
It’s no wonder Yang Yang was so happy; since the apocalypse, not only had she not had such a large plush toy, but she could barely fill her stomach during meals.
Just a few days ago, she and Yang Yang had been imprisoned by Zhang Qiang, and who would have thought they could now comfortably live in a camper?
Yang Yang was overjoyed.
She had just heard a story from her mom, and now Mommy had turned her into a little cow.
She loved it!
When Chen Wan placed the small bowl in front of Yang Yang, she saw Yang Yang pressing her little face against the small cow.
Chen Wan chuckled and reminded Yang Yang, “Eat your meal first, then you can play with the little cow. It won’t run away.”
“Okay.”
Yang Yang rubbed the little cow before reluctantly setting it aside.
Worried that Yang Yang might struggle to scoop the noodles with a spoon, Jiang Yanxin first broke up the noodles in Yang Yang’s bowl, making it easier for her to eat directly with the spoon.
Once everything was ready, she placed the small bowl in front of Yang Yang, saying, “Hurry and eat. After you’re done, you can play with the little cow.”
Yang Yang nodded her little head and scooped up some tomato noodles to eat.
Having been hungry before, Yang Yang found the food especially delicious.
It tasted much better than the stinky food she had eaten before.
She loved this camper and also loved her mommy now.
As Yang Yang ate, her short legs began to wiggle joyfully.
Seeing Yang Yang’s little mouth stuffed full, Chen Wan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Jiang Yanxin looked at Chen Wan and noticed her smiling at Yang Yang.
She turned to see Yang Yang sitting beside her, using her small spoon and eating with her mouth wide open, which was quite appetizing to watch.
“Yang Yang, is Mommy’s cooking delicious?”
Chen Wan couldn’t resist asking, seeing how cute Yang Yang looked while eating.
Yang Yang nodded her little head and hurriedly replied after swallowing her noodles, “Delicious! I like Mommy’s cooking.”
“That’s great! Mommy will cook for you every day so you can grow up quickly,” Chen Wan said with a gentle smile, looking at the small Yang Yang in front of her.
“Okay, I want to grow up fast so I can fight bad guys and protect Mommy and Mama,” Yang Yang said, clenching her little fist with determination.
She took another big spoonful of noodles, making both Jiang Yanxin and Chen Wan laugh.
After the meal, Jiang Yanxin rushed to clean up, while Chen Wan scooped Yang Yang into her arms and began to read her a story about the little cow.
As Yang Yang listened to the story, she snuggled up to Chen Wan, acting cute.
Seeing Yang Yang being restless, Chen Wan simply set the book aside and started playing with Yang Yang, making her giggle uncontrollably.
Seeing Yang Yang so happy, Chen Wan kissed her little face and teased, “Do you want Mommy to tell you a story or play with you?”
Yang Yang’s big eyes twinkled as she snuggled closer to Chen Wan, saying, “Mommy, play with me first, then tell me a story.”
Chen Wan laughed and patted Yang Yang’s little bottom, teasing, “You’re quite clever; nothing gets delayed with you.”
Yang Yang buried her little face in Chen Wan’s arms, wanting her to play.
Chen Wan simply picked up Yang Yang and walked around the camper, bouncing her playfully.
Jiang Yanxin watched the heartwarming scene of the big and small together and felt that her previous wariness towards Chen Wan was completely unnecessary.
This person was very good to both her and Yang Yang.
After walking around with Yang Yang for a while to help with digestion, Chen Wan seemed to remember something and sat down on the sofa with Yang Yang in her arms.
She issued a command to the system, and in the next moment, ten Level 1 zombie crystal cores appeared in her palm.
Chen Wan placed these shiny items on the table in front of Yang Yang.
Yang Yang looked at the shiny objects in front of her, curious to touch them but also hesitant.
She decided to snuggle up to Chen Wan and act cute, “Mommy, what is this? It’s shiny!”
Chen Wan pinched Yang Yang’s little hand and chuckled, “These are crystal cores. From now on, we will each eat ten of these every day. They are sweet and delicious.”
“Really?”
As soon as Yang Yang heard they were tastier than candy, she became excited, her big eyes sparkling as she looked at Chen Wan.
Chen Wan held Yang Yang’s little hand and gave her one of the crystal cores, “Really, Mommy would never lie. Kids who lie will grow long noses. Look, has Mommy’s nose changed?”
Yang Yang listened seriously to Chen Wan’s teasing and cooperatively replied, “No change!”
“Right? What I said is true, right? Do you want to try it? It’s very sweet and tasty,” Chen Wan continued to entice Yang Yang.
At this point, Jiang Yanxin had already tidied up the pots and bowls and sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Wan and Yang Yang.
Watching Chen Wan seriously coaxing Yang Yang, she felt warm inside.
This was something Chen Wan had given her before she went out in the afternoon.
She couldn’t quite explain what it was for, but she felt that her energy and stamina had significantly improved.
Even when she was chopping zombies at the hospital, she felt her hand was steadier than before.
In short, the crystal cores from the zombies were indeed good things, but they weren’t easy for ordinary people to obtain.
After all, you had to kill a zombie to get one crystal core, and only Chen Wan was generous enough to let herself and Yang Yang eat ten at a time.
While Jiang Yanxin was lost in thought, Yang Yang had already been coaxed into opening her little mouth to eat a crystal core.
The sweet and cool core made her feel comfortable all over, and Yang Yang immediately widened her eyes to look at Chen Wan, “Mommy, this is delicious, and it feels so good in my tummy.”
“If it’s delicious, then eat these. They are good for your body and will make you stronger so you can protect Mommy in the future. Is that okay?”
Chen Wan coaxed Yang Yang.
Yang Yang nodded her little head earnestly and said, “Okay! I want to be strong to protect Mommy, Mommy~” Her earnest tone, combined with her little voice, made both Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin unable to hold back their laughter.
Yang Yang licked her little lips, still wanting more, and looked at the remaining nine crystal cores on the table.
Suddenly remembering something, she picked up one of the crystal cores to feed it to Chen Wan.
Chen Wan chuckled and said to Yang Yang, “Your mommy and I have already eaten. This is for you. If you eat it obediently, Mommy will be happy.”
Hearing Chen Wan say this, Yang Yang stretched out her little hand and grabbed another crystal core to eat.
After eating a few, Yang Yang became happier and eventually gobbled down the remaining four crystal cores all at once.
A sweet and warm sensation slowly spread through her little body, making Yang Yang’s eyes squint in comfort.
Her little hands trembled slightly, and her adorable expression was simply irresistible.
Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh across the table.
Hearing her mommy and Chen Wan laughing, Yang Yang opened her eyes in confusion and asked, “Mommy, Mommy, what are you laughing at?”
“Laughing at how cute my baby is.”
Chen Wan couldn’t help but lean over and kiss Yang Yang’s little face.
