Chapter 45 -45: New News
——Han Jiaojiao woke up to find it was already night. The room was lit only by a dim nightlight, and the air still held a lingering, ambiguously warm scent.
She sat up somewhat groggily, only then realizing her limbs felt sore and weak. Making even a slight effort brought a sour sting from her lower body. All this confirmed that it wasn’t a dream. She had truly been with her brother…
Sweetness, like a spring bubbling forth, enveloped her entire heart, and her spirits jumped uncontrollably with joy.
She threw back the thin blanket, preparing to get up and dress, and accidentally noticed a piece missing from the sheet underneath her?
Han Jiaojiao stared blankly at the missing patch on the pristine white sheet for a long time before she came to her senses. Her cheeks flushed suddenly, and even her ears turned scarlet.
When Han Yi entered the room, Han Jiaojiao had already dressed, just in time to see her holding the incomplete sheet, looking foolish and unsure of what to do. Han Yi hooked his lips into a light smile, “Awake?”
Han Jiaojiao looked up at him. Her brother’s indifferent expression seemed normal, but the tenderness and satisfaction in his eyes were unmistakable. She couldn’t help but think of his actions in bed, and immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.
Han Yi approached her, asking, “Does it still hurt?”
Han Jiaojiao shook her head, her face flushed. It did hurt a bit still… but those pains were nothing compared to the immense joy she felt at that moment.
Han Yi cupped her small face and kissed it, then asked her, “Baby, did you like being with brother, hmm?”
“Brother!” Han Jiaojiao half-coaxed, half-reproached as she glared at him, ashamed enough to want to cover her ears.
She remembered her brother’s assertive and dominant manner in bed. Usually such a cold person, how could he be so bad?… Really, utterly bad!
But Han Yi did not intend to let her off. He bent down to nibble her tender white neck and patiently asked, “Baby, did you like it?”
Han Jiaojiao, afraid he might repeat his actions, quickly nodded, “Liked it.”
A smile appeared on Han Yi’s usually cold face, softening significantly, making Han Jiaojiao’s heart skip a beat. She blushed as she poked Han Yi’s waist and asked in a soft voice, “Then… do you like… me?”
Han Yi gave no answer, his face wearing a light smile.
Seeing he wasn’t responding, Han Jiaojiao gathered her courage and said very earnestly, “I know I have many bad habits, I’m hot-tempered, impatient, a bit spoiled, picky about food, I cry, I’m not very smart, always cause trouble at home, and I often get mad at you… I will change all that, brother. Whatever you like, I will try to become.”
Having said that, she looked expectantly at Han Yi.
Han Yi stared at her intently. After what seemed like an eternity, just when Han Jiaojiao was about to lose hope, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smirked mischievously, “Brother likes how you were on the bed just now.”
“Ah! Brother!” Han Jiaojiao pushed him away, frustrated and embarrassed, “You’re so bad!”
Han Yi’s smile deepened, “Brother is bad, and Jiaojiao likes it too, right?”
Han Jiaojiao widened her eyes, hardly believing that the person teasing her was her brother. The brother from her previous life had always been so cold and indifferent, barely willing to say a word to her. Who would have guessed he could also be like this? Thinking this, her heart grew even sweeter.
——This side of her brother, only she could see in this world. Whether it was the cold brother or this dreadful brother, he belonged to her alone.
“I like them all.” Han Jiaojiao pursed her lips, her voice tender, “I like whatever brother is like.”
Han Yi tenderly rubbed the top of her head, “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll make it and bring it up to you.”
Han Jiaojiao hesitated a bit. Having slept from afternoon to evening was embarrassing enough, but if others saw her brother bringing food upstairs, wouldn’t it be too obvious? …But she was still feeling uncomfortable and didn’t even want to walk a step, let alone go downstairs. Plus… there were probably a few faint red marks on her neck now…
“I’d like some wontons.” She decided not to go downstairs.
Han Yi pinched her cheek and prepared to cook a bag of wontons. Han Jiaojiao pulled at him from behind, hand clutching the torn bedsheet, and asked hesitantly, “Brother, did you… the bedsheets?”
Han Yi generously nodded, “Yes, brother has put them away.” After saying that, he mischievously smiled, “Of course, brother has to preserve them well.”
He turned around, leaving the room, and left behind his sister with blushing cheeks.
It was now nine in the evening. Normally at this time, the villa would already be pitch-black, not a sound to be heard. Perhaps due to the emotional lift from clearing the nearby Alien Species nest, everyone was gathered in the living room discussing the next steps.
Yan Xiao was the first to see Han Yi come downstairs. He stretched his neck to look and noticed Han Jiaojiao wasn’t following behind, his expression became one that seemed both amused yet hesitant to laugh. He nudged Xiao Jian with his elbow and whispered, “Brother Han has succeeded, hasn’t he?”
Xiao Jian brushed off his arm, worried about being implicated by Yan Xiao’s bold words, and lowered his voice, “Shut up, be careful if Brother Han hears you.”
“I think he seems to be in a good mood, hey, don’t believe it, look… Kerry, what do you think?”
Their voices were too soft; Bai Kairui didn’t catch it clearly, only vaguely hearing something about a ‘success,’ so he also lowered his voice to ask, “What do you mean by ‘succeeded’?”
“Looks like you need to brush up on your Chinese…”
Lu Changyuan wasn’t paying attention to the murmuring around him. He saw Han Yi coming down and said, “Ayi, they mentioned on TV that the rescue team will arrive in Qingjiang City in a few days. Should we prepare anything?”
When it came to serious matters, Yan Xiao joined in, “Our plan was to stay put here for now, right? Let the troops come if they’re coming. What does it have to do with us? — Oh right! Kerry, do you want to go with the rescue team to the base? If you decide to go to the base, you’ll need to set off early to wait in the city so you won’t miss the rescue.”
Bai Kairui shook his head, his tone firm, “No, I’m staying with you!” He had suffered too much psychological trauma from the volunteers, and he felt even more disgusted with the military, “I’m more familiar with you guys, I’ll stay with you.”
Yan Xiao clapped his thigh, cheerfully saying, “Great! From now on, you hang with us!”
Han Yi looked indifferent, seemingly uninterested in the news. As he walked toward the kitchen he said, “Going to take a look might be good, to understand some situations.”
After the apocalypse, information about the conditions everywhere, superpowers, Alien Species, Mutant Beasts, seemed to be in the military’s hands.
Lu Changyuan nodded in agreement and continued writing on the paper, “From my point of view, the rescue team might not just be coming for rescue. It’s still unclear how many survivors there are, how many a newly established base can accommodate? What’s the limit? Housing, water source, food, and even order are issues too… Not sure if the military has discovered about the Crystal Core…”

As he continued nonstop, Xiao Jian coughed awkwardly, saying: “Lu, Brother Han has gone to the kitchen.”
Yan Xiao shook with laughter, “Lu, Jiaojiao hasn’t had dinner yet.”
Bai Kairui, clueless, saw Yan Xiao laughing lewdly and joined in the raucous laughter. Lu Changyuan, unapologetically, smacked Bai Kairui on the head with the notebook in his hand, “Laughing, laughing! Do you even know why he is laughing?! And you, laughing your head off!”
