Chapter 408: Chapter 312 A Family_2
Thinking it over, Yan Junze felt that resting at Xiang Er’s place would be more reliable.
When he entered the rental, Xiang Er was sitting on the bed, scrolling through the news on her phone.
This woman never slept, and was always looking for things to do; Yan Junze no longer had to do laundry. He’d change at school and bring his clothes over in a big bag for Xiang Er to take care of.
Not only that, but she had also volunteered to wash all of Huahua’s clothes.
Anyway, there was a washing machine here and half the room could be used to hang clothes, which was very convenient.
After entering the room, Yan Junze looked up and saw that his clothes had already been washed, exuding the fresh scent of laundry detergent; not only that, but there were also Xiang Er’s clothes hanging in the room.
These days, she had also learned to be clean, fearing that the smell of her potions was too strong so she changed her clothes frequently. Under Huahua’s guidance, her choice of attire had indeed become quite fashionable.
Suddenly, Yan Junze’s eyes showed a trace of perplexity as he stared at a pair of women’s shorts on the drying rack.
These shorts were seamless, and their shape was very close to a “thong,” plus they were rose red.
Yan Junze couldn’t help but raise his hand, pointing at the shorts, “Xiang Er, you… you wear these now?”
“No, those are Huahua’s,” Xiang Er glanced up briefly.
Yan Junze almost choked, clutching his chest and climbing into bed.
No wonder, he had been puzzled because he had never seen Huahua’s shorts when hanging laundry in the dorms. It turns out this guy had such tastes, such inclinations.
Now, Yan Junze was considering whether he should change dorms.
“Go sit over there on the chair, I need to sleep for a while,” Yan Junze said and shortly after lying down, his eyes closed.
Xiang Er did as told, sitting on the chair and curiously glanced at Yan Junze, wondering why he was so tired.
She then looked up at Huahua’s shorts again, the style, that pattern, even as an entity of strangeness, Xiang Er involuntarily shivered.
Soon, the sound of Yan Junze’s soft snoring could be heard, the man was truly exhausted.
He slept until 10 am the next day, the quality of his sleep was high, making him feel refreshed upon waking.
Xiang Er was standing outside in the hallway basking in the sun. Hearing noise from the room, she turned and walked in.
The first thing Yan Junze did when he woke up was to look in the direction of those dazzling shorts, which Xiang Er had tidied away, thankfully, as she understood him well.
Still, he sat on the bed, in no immediate rush to get up.
Xiang Er, seeing that he appeared to be thinking about something, stayed quiet, just standing by the door, her back bathed in sunlight, soaking up the warmth.
At some point, basking in the sun had become Xiang Er’s hobby; she was naturally cold, and the feeling of soaking up the sun gave her a bit of that long-missed warmth and comfort—it was incredibly pleasant.
Yan Junze wasn’t actually contemplating anything; upon waking, he had simply noticed something odd in the Spacetime Atlas.
Looking within the Atlas, the peculiar vibrations emanated from the 12th node, where the most noticeable was the miniature figure of Long-tongued Zhenzhen.
With a thought, Yan Junze instantly released Long-tongued Zhenzhen.
As soon as she appeared, her long tongue was hanging out of her mouth, swaying around, but with a slurp, she quickly retracted it back into her mouth.
Seeing this, Yan Junze said happily, “Zhenzhen, you’ve recovered!”
The look in Long-tongued Zhenzhen’s eyes was much clearer, no longer staring down constantly with her tongue dragging on the ground, silent as before.
She looked at Yan Junze, smiled faintly, a smile that had been missing for so long, and nodded, “Mm, these past days have felt like a dream, I’ve been so muddled.”
“Had it not been for you jumping onto that strangeness and rescuing me from the Underground Space, my own magnetic field wouldn’t have been disturbed, and I wouldn’t have taken so long to recover,” Yan Junze said with relief.
As he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.
He had performed a Great Rewind to save himself, which then caused a ripple event, followed by a Butterfly Effect Stabilization to correct it, and it was after that event Long-tongued Zhenzhen had been affected by the disturbed magnetic field.
Could it be that during this Butterfly Effect Stabilization, her magnetic field disturbance was somehow adjusted to a certain extent? That might be why she was able to wake up now, or else she might have remained in that chaotic state for some more time.
Since Yan Junze hadn’t chosen to observe the Butterfly Effect Stabilization as a third-party observer, he was only speculating now and had no evidence.
However, the outcome was good, as long as Long-tongued Zhenzhen recovered.
After Zhenzhen spoke, she suddenly felt a rush of panic and immediately turned to look at Xiang Er standing at the door.
Her whole body tensed up, ready to attack at any moment.
Though she was in an attack state, Zhenzhen’s body was trembling, overwhelmed by the oppression emanating from Xiang Er, which filled her with immense fear.
Yan Junze quickly reached out to stop her, “Zhenzhen, no need to be nervous! This is Xiang Er, get to know each other, we’re all family, all family.”
Xiang Er was just looking at Zhenzhen, not making any moves.
Zhenzhen was somewhat surprised, and her attack state quickly dissipated, but she still seemed very cautious when looking at Xiang Er.
Yan Junze thought for a moment and mumbled to himself, “Let’s do this, since we’re all family, let’s all meet today so we can look out for each other later, no need to be so distant.”
With that, he released the two strange babies and the Crawler Monster in succession.
As soon as the two strange babies appeared, they initially wanted to get excited. Their excited expressions were all over their faces, but they froze instantly, shrieking with a ‘gah’ sound, and immediately scrambled under the bed.
On being released, the Crawler Monster immediately sensed that something was off and felt a massive wave of oppression descending upon it. Not diving under the bed like the strange babies, it leaped onto the bed, spreading its arms and facing the direction of the door, it positioned itself in front of Yan Junze.
As expected, all strangenesses felt the oppression coming from Xiang Er.
The two strange babies were the most unreliable, and previously, the Crawler Monster was too, but now, it seemed to have learned to protect its master.
However, when Yan Junze looked down, he saw that although the creature was spreading its arms protectively, it couldn’t resist extending its forked tongue to tidy up its side part, which had become slightly disheveled due to the fright.
After taking a glance, Yan Junze felt that the creature seemed to have gotten fatter.
As he looked at Zhenzhen, he noted that she also seemed a bit plumper now.
It seemed that constantly nourished by Different Dimension Energy within the Spacetime Atlas, these strangenesses were living quite comfortably.
While their abilities weren’t improving quickly, their physical sizes had grown significantly.
“It’s okay, everything’s fine, the one standing at the door, Xiang Er, is one of us, just like Zhenzhen, all part of the family,” Yan Junze patted the side of the bed and called out to those under it, “You two little guys, come out, come and meet.”
The Crawler Monster was slow to react, still spread-eagled in a protective stance.
Yan Junze patted its head, “It’s okay, I’m touched, now go pull out those two from under the bed.”
The Crawler Monster shot Yan Junze a reproachful look, extended its tongue to fix the side part that Yan Junze had ruffled, and then darted under the bed to chase out the two strange babies.
Once all the strangenesses were assembled, Yan Junze pointed to Xiang Er at the door and said, “This is Xiang Er, the strongest among you.”
Then, pointing to Zhenzhen, he said to Xiang Er, “This is Long-tongued Zhenzhen, a woman who died by hanging, like the way you died. You two should talk more, but don’t lead these little ones astray.”
After introducing the Crawler Monster and the strange babies one by one, Yan Junze felt a bit sentimental, “Actually, there are two more in our big family, a mother and daughter, no idea where they’ve gone off to. Speaking of Ke’er, I suddenly miss her.”
Aside from Zhenzhen and the Crawler Monster, who nodded in understanding, the other strangenesses did not know who Yan Junze was talking about.
After his moment of reflection, Yan Junze suddenly became enthusiastic. He got off the bed, picked up his phone, and transferred some money to Xiang Er, “Xiang Er, go buy some vegetables and hotpot base ingredients, we’re going to have a family hotpot for lunch.”
He paused and then added, “Um, and buy some more incense sticks while you’re at it.”
