Girls und War

"Oh, okay." Xia Shu followed Jia in that direction honestly, and suddenly remembered something, "My underwear is still in the luggage."

"Use mine! Just use mine!" Jia said in an attitude that could not be refused.

Xia Shu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

She has always gone with the flow when it comes to such small details, and Jia has already figured out this psychological point.

So Jia happily pushed Xia Shu into the bathroom and continued, "You can use my pajamas too. I have some really cute ones that will definitely suit you."

Natsuki hesitated again and said, "I'm not used to sleeping in pajamas."

Jia was stunned for a moment, then said with shining eyes, "Naked...sleeping naked is good! Sleeping naked is healthy! I don't like pajamas either!"

Then the two of them went into the bathroom.

The bathroom was large, with a tub in the middle that could accommodate several people. It had a full set of bathing equipment, and there were even a number of artistic artifacts in the bathroom.

Not all of these artworks are made of gemstones. According to Jia, her father actually has good relationships with many artists from other circles.

These artists also often exchange artworks with each other to fill gaps in their collections and inspire creative inspiration.

The two chatted about the origins of the various ornaments while washing up. Although the bathroom had bathing facilities, Jia didn't know why she insisted on washing by hand and rushed to rub Xia Shu's back.

Xia Shu didn't care, and she could feel that Jia's technique was much stronger than last time.

It's hard to say whether she has practiced specifically during this period.

But Xia Shu didn’t quite understand. Is it necessary to practice back scrubbing specifically?

After taking a shower, she changed into Jia's underwear.

To be honest, the number is a bit small.

Especially the bra, which made Xia Shu particularly uncomfortable.

It was not a problem to wear it like this, so she simply asked Jia to take a T-shirt and put it on the outside without any bra.

"Really... a vacuum?" Jia's eyes began to shine again.

"Well...it's just for sleeping, so just wear whatever you want." Xia Shu didn't care.

"Okay... okay..." I don't know what she was saying.

Now that they had finished their bath, they simply lay down on the bed, turned off the lights, and started chatting about the night.

The topics were very scattered, all talking about childhood memories.

Jia's attention was very distracted. At first, he was quite well-behaved, but later he gradually leaned towards Xia Shu and kept snuggling into her arms.

It seemed that he had noticed that Xia Shu was not used to saying no.

Xia Shu didn't care about this.

But after a while, something unexpected happened.

From the upper floor of this room, a very subtle and strange sound was faintly heard.

The sound was so quiet that it was inaudible, but Xia Shu was still very sensitive to the vibration of the air in the gap between the walls.

The adult night seems to have just begun.

445. There are only fields that cannot be plowed, but there are no cows that cannot be worked to death.

The sound insulation of this building is actually very good.

As a materials scientist, Jiamu could not make big mistakes in the construction technology of furniture and houses.

However, it is not suitable to achieve laboratory-level sound insulation in homes.

That would make the whole house look gloomy and uninviting.

So it is natural that the sound insulation in the room is slightly lower than the standard.

There is an advantage to this.

That is, when a child calls for his parents downstairs, the people upstairs can hear it first.

But there is a downside.

That is the nightlife of adults, which is more likely to disturb others.

Listening to the subtle moans faintly coming from upstairs, the sound gradually became louder and more penetrating.

This gradually interrupted the conversation between Xia Shu and Jia.

Silence and awkwardness ensued.

In the darkness, Xia Shu couldn't help but ask, "How often does your mother come back..."

Jia coughed lightly and replied in a low voice, "I usually come back once every two weeks. If I'm busy, maybe once a month..."

"Well... well, no wonder." Xia Shu gave an awkward but polite smile.

Too bad I couldn't see it in the dark.

“…Ah~ yes! Right there—”

A passionate and high-pitched love talk came across the floor.

What kind of shameful play is this? Listening to my parents singing praises of life at night through the wall with my friends?

"I can't face anyone!" Jia covered her face and buried herself in Xia Shu's arms.

Xia Shu touched her head and felt that it was not right to persuade her, nor was it right not to persuade her.

I could only comfort him, "Well...it's normal for adults to have needs... After all, you two haven't seen each other for a long time..."

"That's not the problem! This... although this is also problematic! Ahhhhh! How could this happen?!!!"

Jia hid in Xia Shu's arms and let out a wail, then covered her ears like an ostrich and began to escape from reality.

Faced with this situation, Xia Shu was helpless.

She could only gently touch her head like coaxing a child, hoping that the situation upstairs would end quickly.

But things went against their wishes, and the relationship between Jia's father and mother lasted a little too long.

The noise continued until the second half of the night. Several times, I thought the fighting had stopped, but the noise would always get louder again without me noticing.

Maybe this is the artist's "unruly" buff.

That night, none of the four people in the big house slept well.

Although Jia was a little upset that night, Xia Shu's gentle treatment made her feel that it was worth it.

Although her plan to develop a good relationship with Natsuki was interrupted by the sudden emergence of adult nightlife, she still gained a lot.

Xia Shu didn't think there was anything wrong.

Although she didn't sleep much that night, it was her holiday after all, and she was very relaxed, so she didn't need much sleep.

It's a bit embarrassing, but they are a couple and they are in their own home, so what they do is reasonable and it's none of my business.

As for Jia's father and mother, the scientist and artist pair, they showed a polarized trend after waking up in the morning.

The artist worked hard and looked even more listless and decadent than the day before.

The scientist looked radiant, as if he had received some kind of nourishment, and his whole body exuded a strange aura.

Seeing the two girls get up, Jia's mother quickly invited them to sit at the dining table and served them breakfast.

Jiaer yawned and asked Xia Shu secretly, "Did you sleep last night? Why are you so energetic?"

Xia Shu turned his head and replied softly, "I slept. I didn't go to bed until two or three. But it was enough."

Jia immediately looked apologetic.

After seeing the two girls start eating breakfast, the mother nodded in satisfaction. She then brought another plate of food and placed it in front of the listless, depressed, and weak-kneed middle-aged artist.

The artist looked at the food on the plate, swallowed, and asked, "Eating oysters so early in the morning?"

"Yes." Mother nodded with a smile on her face.

"Should I...be a little more restrained?" The artist said with a flattering expression.

"Feed it to me!" A sinister and terrifying voice came from beneath the beautiful and brilliant smile of the blonde wife.

After breakfast, there's no point in sitting at home.

Jia didn't want to disturb his parents' love, so he took Xia Shu out of the house and prepared to take her for a walk on the island.

The weather is nice today, with gentle sunshine shining on the beach. The sea breeze and temperature and humidity are very suitable for a walk.

The latitude of this island belongs to the constant temperature zone, and it is warm like spring all year round, which is very suitable for long-term residence.

Jia said she had never seen snow on the island. The first time she saw snow was when she was six years old and her parents took her on a trip to the Arctic.

He then mentioned several tourist attractions around the world, all of which were beautiful fragments of childhood memories.

Thinking about happy things, Jia started running happily on the beach again.

The small footprints extended all the way along the beach, then were washed away by the waves and merged into the boundless sea.

Xia Shu smiled as he watched Jia running gracefully on the beach, vaguely feeling the supreme joy that parents feel when raising their children.

This is what family happiness is like.

It is something that cannot be purchased no matter how high the price is or how much wealth is possessed.

It's not about being rich or poor, nor is it about the value you create for society.

It is the simplest, beautiful time that remains in the long river of time as the human race continues.

At this time, Jia seemed to remember something, ran over, grabbed Xia Shu's hand, and ran towards the end of the beach, the other side of the coast.

"Where are you taking me?" Xia Shu asked with a smile.

Jia turned her head and gave a mysterious smile.

"My secret base!"

On the other side of the coast is a not-so-steep cliff.

There is a small path at the bottom of the cliff that leads to the middle of the mountain.

It couldn't be seen from below, but after climbing up, Xia Shu discovered that there was actually a hidden cave here.

The cave was separated by a waterproof curtain. After Jia walked in, he hung the curtain up very skillfully.

The sunlight shone in from outside, and the interior of the cave did not feel eerie or scary, but instead seemed spacious and bright.

The cave was small, and one could see the end at a glance. There were many furniture-like decorations placed everywhere inside.

What’s interesting is that the cave, which has not been visited for who knows how long, is not dirty at all.

Jia clapped his hands, and an egg-shaped robot suddenly rose from the corner.

It spread its arms and legs, saluted Jia, then floated to the entrance of the cave and stood guard like a soldier.

Xia Shu suddenly understood why the cave was so clean.

Jia turned around, gave Xia Shu a proud smile, and said to her:

"This is my secret base!"

446. Jia's Secret Base

At Jia's invitation, Xia Shu sat on the stone bench. Jia found a few special compressed biscuits from somewhere and gave them to Xia Shu.

Xia Shu looked at the expiration date on the label and saw it was twenty years old. So he unwrapped the package and started eating.

I have to say that the food manufacturing technology outside is that even the compressed biscuits taste much better than those in the Imaginary Battlefield.

The two men sat at the entrance of the cave, facing the sea, eating biscuits and chatting.

"I discovered this secret base when I was a kid," Jia said with a nostalgic smile. "Back then, I had a strong desire for adventure. I always wanted to have some unique experiences—just like in fairy tales."

Xia Shu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Everyone's childhood is full of expectations for the future and the world, and there is always a strong curiosity about everything.
