Chapter 34 The Thirty-fourth Little Tail

However, it was time to sleep. Ling Chen took a cold shower for twenty minutes, but the coolness from the bathroom disappeared after a while when he got to bed.

Ye Xiao asked him worriedly, "Captain, are you cold?"

Ling Chen shook his head, "No." He was very hot.

It was raining outside the window, and the wind blowing in from the window was cool. The two of them were covered with the same quilt, so it was inevitable that their shoulders would rub against each other and their feet would touch each other. They still smelled of the same shower gel, and they couldn't be closer.

Ling Chen gradually calmed down. He relaxed with his eyelids half closed. On this rainy night, he felt a comfort he had never had before. In the previous month, he was always tense in Area D. After coming out, he was always alert to the unreliability around him, and all of it became lighter and lighter - only the person sleeping next to him was extremely real.

He suddenly remembered that Liang Ling, the former commander of the Second Department, had taught him that no one could keep the string in their heart tense all the time. If they were too tense for too long, it would break, so they had to learn to relax.

Liang Ling's way of relaxing was to eat a plate of peanuts and drink two glasses of vodka. Ling Chen thought that maybe Ye Xiao was his peanuts and his vodka.

Seeing that Ye Xiao was not sleeping, looking around with his eyes open, with a curious look on his face, Ling Chen rubbed Ye Xiao's instep with his foot, "Can't sleep?"

"Hmm," Ye Xiao nodded, "A little excited."

"Excited about what?"

"I can't explain it clearly," Ye Xiao pulled the corner of the quilt with his hand, tilted his head to look at Ling Chen, his eyes shining, "This is where Captain grew up."

"Are you silly?" Ling Chen was softened by his look, "Do you want to hear a bedtime story?"

Ye Xiao nodded, "Yes."

Seeing his expectant face, Ling Chen changed his posture, lying on his side with his left hand supporting his head, and his right hand casually resting on the quilt, speaking slowly, "Last time I told you the origin of the tattoo on my back, right?"

"Yes."

"What else do you want to hear?"

Ye Xiao wanted to know more about Ling Chen, no matter which aspect, he wanted to know. But he could only choose one sentence, "I want to hear about Captain's childhood." When he was a child, there was no difference between the day before and the day after. He trained and fought every day just to survive.

Ling Chen helped him straighten the corners of the quilt. "When I was a child? It seems that there is nothing much to say. Before I went to elementary school, I was taken care of by a nanny. It is said that I was very quiet at that time. I played with a Rubik's Cube all day long and never got bored."

Ye Xiao was extremely lacking in common sense and was a little confused. "Why is it the nanny who takes care of you, not your parents?"

"Because there is no one at home. My parents are too busy, and my grandparents all passed away early, so only the nanny can take care of me." Seeing that Ye Xiao was interested, Ling Chen said a few more words, "I have never met my parents' parents. I heard that they are both in business and have a large business. My father and mother are both only children. Both of them have high IQs, but they are devoted to scientific research and are not prepared to inherit the family business and carry it forward."
