Chapter 180: It Was Just So Sudden (New Year's Day Bonus Chapter)

~8 min read 1,418 words

"There are actually vegetables." An Yinan said.

Yun Shu and Yun Mo didn't feel much about it; they were the type who couldn't enjoy a meal without meat, and compared to vegetables, they preferred eating meat.

It was only An Yinan who particularly loved eating vegetables, even going so far as to specially plant some greens in the room to eat during the winter.

Her fastidious nature regarding this had led Zhao Qiuhua to lecture her quite a few times.

Yet, every time, she would still stir-fry greens or make a cold vegetable dish for her.

Chen Xun placed all the greens into An Yinan's bowl, "Mom said she specially dried a lot of vegetable preserves and will mail them to us later."

An Yinan nodded while eating the vegetables.

After finishing the meal, An Yinan felt like she had been brought back to life.

"Ding, consumed the long-awaited baby bok choy, rewarded with one Slimming Pill recipe."

……

It was just so sudden!

I mean, I always thought the system would only activate and issue tasks for Pills needed by people who had a connection to me.

But, what the heck is "long-awaited baby bok choy"?

It was just quite sudden.

Slimming Pill? Is it for weight loss? An Yinan blinked silently; had she become so fat that the system couldn't bear to look at her anymore?

She looked at her slender wrists and her waist that could be encircled by a pair of hands—she wasn't fat at all!

Chen Xun's attention had been on An Yinan the whole time; he noticed her sudden pause while eating just now and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

An Yinan shook her head, "It's nothing, I ate the long-awaited baby bok choy, and my heart felt a bit flustered..."

Chen Xun could only silently keep placing the vegetables from the box into her bowl.

After finishing the meal, she had obtained a Pill recipe.

An Yinan steadied her mind and continued translating.

She planned to finish the translation task in her hands before getting off the train, so that after getting off, she could have Yun Mo take it directly to the Compilation Bureau.

The train rocked and swayed continuously, and An Yinan carried out her plan accordingly.

Finally, half a month later, the train stopped at Beijing Station.

Rubbing her somewhat weak legs, An Yinan had already changed out of her heavy cotton-padded clothes halfway through the journey, putting on a shirt and trousers, and then adding a beige trench coat.

There were all kinds of clothes in her space, but to avoid suspicion, she had specially carried a suitcase containing a few sets of clothes.

The other suitcases were all translation materials, mixed in with the suitcase containing her clothes.

"Slow down." Chen Xun held An Yinan's hand; he was already wearing the military-green casual clothes that An Yinan had made for him for the first time.

The crisp, neat casual clothes still looked upright and tall on Chen Xun.

An Yinan counted the three suitcases and glanced at Yun Mo, and Yun Mo nodded to indicate he understood.

They split into two groups, and Yun Mo went directly to the Compilation Bureau to submit the task.

As soon as An Yinan, Chen Xun, and Yun Shu walked out of the station exit, they saw the people standing outside two military jeeps.

"Brother Yun Qi." An Yinan said with a smile.

Chen Xun first nodded at Yun Qi, then looked at the man beside him, "Brother."

Although they were twins, their appearances were completely different, but they had one thing in common: that temperament forged from being immersed in military camp training.

Upright like a poplar, standing proudly like a mountain.

Chen Jia stepped forward and hugged Chen Xun tightly, "You're back."

For a man, a moment is enough to reveal deep emotions.

After the two brothers let go, they smiled lightly.

"Let's go, I'm taking you back to Grandfather's place." Chen Jia said.

Just then, Yun Qi, who had been standing on the side acting as a background prop, stepped forward, "Nan Nan, Grandmother is waiting for you to go back."

Chen Xun frowned, looked at his brother, and then looked at Yun Qi.

"You two are holding your wedding in two days; you must be married from the Yun Family. You can't see each other for the next few days; it's bad luck." Yun Qi said with a faint smile, just as black-bellied as he was back then.

Chen Jia and Chen Xun exchanged a look; people who play politics have too many schemes.

An Yinan thought for a moment, looked at Chen Xun and said, "Tomorrow I will go to visit Grandfather and my godmother and godfather."

Chen Xun naturally respected An Yinan's choice, so he nodded and handed the suitcase with clothes in his hand to Yun Shu.

"I'll come to the Yun Family to pick you up tomorrow." Chen Xun said.

And so, the husband and wife actually took two separate cars, and both destinations were the Military District Compound.

I mean, men are really childish sometimes!

An Yinan silently complained in her heart.

Returning to the Yun Family, An Xiangbei ran over hurriedly, "Sister."

Looking at the teenager who had grown half a fist taller, "In another two years, you'll be taller than me."

An Xiangbei stood beside An Yinan and compared their heights, "It should take another year and a half to surpass you..."

An Yinan: "……"

I am actually speechless; is there a need to be this precise?

"Even though Sister grows slowly, I will still have a growth spurt!" This was An Yinan's final bit of stubbornness.

The Yun Family members watched the conversation between the siblings and burst into laughter; An Xiangbei, who was usually like a little adult, only acted like a child when he was by An Yinan's side.

And An Yinan only acted without restraint when she was beside An Xiangbei.

This must be blood being thicker than water, something even more mysterious than metaphysics.

"How long were you on the train? Are you tired?" Grandmother reached out, held the hand An Yinan offered, and looking at her fair and tender granddaughter, the old lady smiled happily.

"Grandma, after sitting on the train for over half a month, I'm not tired at all. There were soft beds on the train, so I could sleep!" An Yinan said with a smile.

"Ding, due to the host's good mood, Pulse Diagnosis Technique is rewarded."

Having had the Slimming Pill last time, she was mentally prepared; it seemed that, invisibly, the system was leading her onto the path of a healer.

This Pulse Diagnosis Technique was like a book, merging into her mind, with page after page of images, dynamic diagrams, and the sensation of the rhythm of various pulses.

"Nan Nan?" An Yinan heard Grandma's voice and quickly snapped back to reality.

Grandma looked at her worriedly, "Are you too tired? Go back to your room and sleep for a while first, then come down for dinner."

An Yinan rubbed her slightly aching temples; although it had only been a split second just now, she had received various pulse dynamics and the various difficult and miscellaneous diseases gifted by the system...

Her brain felt as if it were about to burst for a moment; knowledge that was not learned step-by-step was suddenly poured into her mind, and that sudden influx of memories left her feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

"Okay, Grandma, I'll go sleep for a while first. I sat on the train for too long, so my head hurts a bit." An Yinan smiled apologetically.

Eldest Aunt-in-law Liu Xicai brought over a bowl, "Drink a bowl of powdered milk first, then go back to your room and sleep for a while. After sitting on a train like that, even a healthy person would be tired for three days. You get a good sleep, and rest well again tonight. There's nothing going on at home; I'll go discuss your wedding with the Chen Family, you two just busy yourselves with your own affairs."

An Yinan finished the powdered milk and said sweetly to Liu Xicai, "Thank you, Eldest Aunt-in-law."

"You child, why say thank you to your own family? Hurry and go sleep." Liu Xicai let An Yinan go upstairs first.

Only then did she say to Yun Shu, "Are you going to rest at home, or go back to the Camp to rest? I've already tidied up your rooms."
