After dinner, Chen Wan insisted on washing the dishes.
Both she and Jiang Yanxin weren’t the type to be lazy, always competing to cook or clean.
If they weren’t careful, the other would snatch the task away.
Now, with the addition of the restless Qin Ke, if it weren’t for her injured wrist, she would be competing with them too.
Jiang Yanxin, having lost the battle to Chen Wan, had no choice but to hold Yang Yang’s little hand and walk around the RV to help with digestion.
Yang Yang was adorable, bouncing around while being led by Mom.
Every time they passed by Chen Wan, Yang Yang would cling to her leg, showing her little face to act cute, before continuing the walk with Mom.
Chen Wan, with her hands wet, could only coax the little charmer.
Qin Ke watched the family with slightly red eyes, missing her own Yan Yan.
If it weren’t for the sudden apocalypse, she and Yan Yan would have been getting married in a few months.
Turning her face inward, Qin Ke didn’t want her emotions to make everyone walk on eggshells.
She was actually happy to remember her Yan Yan, but she was also scared.
Scared that in five or ten years, the image in her mind would fade until she could barely remember it.
Qin Ke pursed her lips and got up, quickly walking to the cabinet to grab an ABO novel to read, using it to mask her emotions.
Chen Wan and the others had already helped her a lot, and she didn’t want them to worry about her anymore.
By the time Chen Wan finished cleaning up, Qin Ke had already put away the dining table, pulled out the sofa bed, and was lying on it reading another novel that Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin hadn’t read.
Jiang Yanxin was already lying on the bed with Yang Yang, telling he a story.
Yang Yang listened to the story while swinging her little legs, feeling utterly content.
Hearing Chen Wan’s footsteps, Jiang Yanxin stopped telling the story and looked at Chen Wan, “Come on, join me and the baby.”
Chen Wan thought it was just about letting Jiang Yanxin lean on her to sleep, which wasn’t the first time, so she agreed, “Alright, I’ll sleep on the inside.”
Before Chen Wan could get on the bed, Jiang Yanxin grabbed her wrist, “No need, you can sleep on the outside. Yang Yang and I will move in a bit.”
Without waiting for Chen Wan’s response, Jiang Yanxin had already moved with Yang Yang, leaving enough space for Chen Wan to lie on the outside.
Chen Wan had no choice but to get on the bed.
Seeing Mommy arrive, Yang Yang waved her little hand at Chen Wan and said loyally, “Mommy, let’s listen to Mom’s story together.”
Chen Wan smiled at Yang Yang, coaxing, “Okay, Mommy will listen with you.”
Jiang Yanxin resumed the story for Yang Yang.
At this time, the sunlight was at its peak.
Chen Wan simply had the system wash the outside of the RV and raised the steel plates around it.
The bright sunlight shone into the RV, perfectly illuminating the bed where Chen Wan and the others lay.
The warm sunlight and Jiang Yanxin’s gentle storytelling voice soon lulled Chen Wan to sleep.
Yang Yang listened to the story while keeping an eye on her surroundings, noticing how Chen Wan fell asleep.
Yang Yang’s little legs swung, and her big eyes curved into crescents as he looked at Chen Wan with delight.
Jiang Yanxin noticed her little troublemaker was distracted and not listening to the story.
Looking up, she saw Yang Yang smiling at Chen Wan.
Seeing Mom looking at him, Yang Yang whispered, snuggling into Jiang Yanxin’s arms, “Mommy fell asleep.”
Jiang Yanxin chuckled softly, shaking her head, and kissed Yang Yang, “I was supposed to lull you to sleep, but your Mommy fell asleep first. Let’s listen to one more story and then sleep, okay?”
“Okay.”
Yang Yang nodded obediently, ready to listen to the last story.
Jiang Yanxin told Yang Yang another story, but the little one showed no signs of sleepiness, her eyes wide open.
In the end, Jiang Yanxin had to coax Yang Yang to sleep, gently patting him until he finally dozed off.
If Yang Yang didn’t sleep, she herself would have fallen asleep.
After tucking Yang Yang in, Jiang Yanxin found a spot in Chen Wan’s arms and comfortably fell asleep.
The sunlight was warm, and when Chen Wan woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon.
The RV had been upgraded for five hours, and Jiang Yanxin was sleeping soundly in her arms.
With previous experiences, Chen Wan remained calm this time, watching Jiang Yanxin in her arms for a while, unable to look away.
Especially when she saw Jiang Yanxin’s pink lips, she couldn’t help but recall the dream from last time.
After watching for a while, she felt a bit thirsty again, but she was reluctant to wake the person in her arms or let go.
This time, she wasn’t lying stiffly like before, with her left hand wrapped around Jiang Yanxin’s waist and back, unwilling to let go.
Jiang Yanxin, still a bit groggy, snuggled in Chen Wan’s arms before slowly opening her eyes, her gaze still misty, and her voice slightly hoarse, “What time is it?”
“Past three. Are you still sleepy? If you are, sleep a bit more.”
Chen Wan, without realizing it, spoke more softly than usual to Jiang Yanxin.
Jiang Yanxin noticed the arm around her waist and snuggled into Chen Wan’s embrace, “No more sleep. Just hold me for a while longer.”
“Okay.”
Chen Wan replied softly, her ears starting to turn red again because Jiang Yanxin, after waking up, wasn’t exactly behaving in her arms.
Her fingers would occasionally brush against Chen Wan’s neck or hold her right hand, playing with it, making Chen Wan inexplicably nervous.
Jiang Yanxin couldn’t help but laugh when she looked at Chen Wan.
Just by nuzzling Chen Wan’s neck and playing with her fingers, Chen Wan was already blushing, her ears turning red.
Jiang Yanxin felt a stir in her heart, thinking it was time to move on to the second step of her “boiling frog in warm water” plan.
After all, when she used to sleep in Chen Wan’s arms, Chen Wan didn’t even dare to hold her.
This time, at least Chen Wan was holding her while sleeping, which was progress.
Jiang Yanxin chuckled softly, snuggling into Chen Wan’s embrace, and reached out to pinch Chen Wan’s slightly reddened earlobe.
Chen Wan froze, unsure of what Jiang Yanxin was up to, and lay there stiffly, not daring to move.
“Yanxin?”
Jiang Yanxin sensed Chen Wan’s tension and laughed lightly, “What’s wrong? Can’t I even touch your ears?”
Chen Wan’s ears were already flushed, and with Jiang Yanxin’s gentle teasing, her body couldn’t help but shiver.
“I didn’t say you couldn’t,” Chen Wan replied weakly, looking nothing like her usual self when fighting zombies.
But Jiang Yanxin wasn’t planning to let her off the hook.
Her fingertips brushed over Chen Wan’s ear, gently pinching and playing with her earlobe.
Seeing Jiang Yanxin smiling happily in her arms, Chen Wan didn’t dare to pull away and let Jiang Yanxin have her fun.
Jiang Yanxin noticed Chen Wan’s hesitant expression, feeling even more pleased.
She knew Chen Wan was different with her.
Even now, Chen Wan didn’t pull away, which only proved that her “boiling frog in warm water” plan was working.
Having achieved the ear-pinching milestone, she could do something even more daring next time.
After a while, Chen Wan was sweating, her heart racing faster and faster.
Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and grabbed Jiang Yanxin’s hand that was playing with her ear.
She glanced at Jiang Yanxin, then quickly looked away as if burned.
“Yanxin, it’s a bit ticklish. Can you stop?”
Chen Wan’s voice was soft and lacked confidence, her cheeks turning red.
Jiang Yanxin found it amusing, laughing in Chen Wan’s arms for a while before looking up to meet Chen Wan’s eyes.
However, Chen Wan didn’t dare to make eye contact, often glancing at her and then quickly looking away.
Jiang Yanxin was even more amused by Chen Wan’s reaction but didn’t plan to let her go.
“Want me to let go?”
Chen Wan quickly nodded, her voice becoming obedient, “Mm-hmm.”
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yanxin almost wanted to do something even more outrageous.
How could she let go?
She continued to tease Chen Wan, “Say something nice to coax me, and if I’m in a good mood, I’ll stop.”
“Huh?”
Chen Wan pursed her lips.
She was the worst at coaxing people.
In her previous life, she was always single and had no idea how to coax someone.
“What do you mean ‘huh’? Hurry up, I’m waiting. The baby will wake up soon.”
Jiang Yanxin urged with a light laugh, lying in Chen Wan’s arms, her fingers still teasing Chen Wan’s ear, making it even harder for Chen Wan to focus.
Chen Wan tried to ignore the teasing fingers by her ear and quickly organized her words, “Wife, please stop, okay? It’s really ticklish.”
Jiang Yanxin was pleased by the way Chen Wan called her “wife,” and with Chen Wan’s coaxing tone, she didn’t want to get up from Chen Wan’s arms.
She lay there comfortably, her fingers no longer playing with Chen Wan’s ear but gently brushing against Chen Wan’s neck.
Jiang Yanxin glanced at Chen Wan, biting her lip.
She could hardly wait for the “boiling frog in warm water” plan anymore.
She wanted to kiss her right now.
It had been so long since she felt this way, and recently, she found it hard to resist around Chen Wan.
Chen Wan was almost overwhelmed by Jiang Yanxin’s teasing.
Unable to stand the ticklish feeling on her neck, she grabbed Jiang Yanxin’s mischievous hand, “Stop, stop touching, it’s too ticklish.”
Jiang Yanxin, having her hand caught, wasn’t satisfied and whimpered a few times in Chen Wan’s arms, expressing her discontent, “So stingy, can’t I just touch a little?”
“It’s not that I won’t let you touch, it’s just ticklish. You stay with Yang Yang, I’ll get up and prepare dinner.”
Chen Wan made up an excuse to escape.
Jiang Yanxin wouldn’t let her go.
Seeing her trying to get up, she pressed down on her, lying in Chen Wan’s arms, speaking leisurely, “It’s only three o’clock, what dinner are you preparing? Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Stay with me a little longer, or we can read that book ‘Transmigrated into a Scum A in a School Novel.’ We only read a few chapters last time, and I still don’t know if Mo Yuxin has met Little Moon.”
“Alright, let’s read together then.”
Chen Wan, seeing that Jiang Yanxin wasn’t teasing her anymore, finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the book from the side cabinet, and opened it for Jiang Yanxin to read.
