With these words from the little girl, the stone that was originally weighing on my heart instantly eased a lot.
As soon as he relaxed, the hunger in his stomach became particularly obvious.
Jiang Nan noticed their uncomfortable expressions and spoke first.
"Let's eat together here, I'll cook a hot pot."
After saying that, he looked at the little girl again, preparing to open a small stove for her alone.
"Nana, is there anything you want to eat?"
Gardenia, who had just eaten, felt guilty and touched her belly.
"I-I'm not hungry."
She didn't think much about it and just suggested it as she walked.
"Then I'll cook you some bean curd? I just have some red beans in the space."
After not eating for such a long time, she was probably greedy.
To her surprise, the little voice refused vaguely.
"I had dessert."
After all, she was S-level. She would bring whatever supplies the base had, such as fruits and vegetables. If she didn't know how to cook them, she would take them to the boss. There was really nothing she wanted to eat at the moment.
Jiang Nan paused, suddenly thinking of the egg tart she just handed him, and looked at it with a faint look.
"Nana doesn't need me anymore?"
Gardenia's eyes widened slightly and she answered seriously.
"Actually, it's okay to have another bowl of bean curd!"
After all, she knows how to make a lot of desserts, so you can’t mess with her!
Jiang Nan agreed with a smile and walked to the kitchen.
Looking at her leaving figure, the little girl sighed in an old-fashioned way.
Oh, she is so popular.
But who made her so powerful? Humph.
He Jingming on the side felt a bit disgusted for some reason. After all these days, he still had a good impression of Jiang Nan, but in the end, the other person only had eyes for this little girl.
As if aware of his gaze, Gardena, who was half lying in her younger brother's arms, tilted her head slightly, as if something was wrong with her.
Looking again, someone looked over with an expressionless face.
He was silent for a moment and looked away silently.
…
The next few days were uneventful, with the superpowers in the base busy re-reinforcing the walls, while Gardena and her team were worrying about what to eat every day. If they hadn't gone on missions occasionally, they would have almost forgotten that it was still the end of the world.
At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and a group of people were having a barbecue in the yard.
Several grown men put the prepared ingredients on wooden skewers one by one, while Jiang Nan stood in front of the barbecue grill handling the seasonings.
The charcoal fire below has risen, and the smell of fireworks is filling the air. The barbecue on the shelf is sizzling with oil, and there is a rich fragrance.
Gardenia stood aside and watched eagerly, tapping her little finger from time to time.
"I want to brush this with some honey."
When Jiang Nan baked it according to her request and handed it over, a little girl blew it perfunctorily twice and then bit it in one bite.
Seeing that she was so burned that she was about to burst into tears, Jiang Nan was helpless.
"What's the rush? There's still a lot more."
Gardenia burst into tears, puffing out her cheeks and chewing hard while speaking stubbornly.
“Barbecue needs to be hot to taste!”
But before he finished speaking, the barbecue in his hand was taken away.
The man who had just brought the milk lowered his eyes slightly, his gray-white eyes staring at her silently, full of accusation.
The little girl who was so stubborn just now drooped her head in an instant.
Obediently taking the milk and taking a sip, she expressed her guilty conscience.
"I'll just blow it next time."
After saying that, I felt something was wrong. She was obviously the boss, so why was she always under his control recently?
Thinking this way, she puffed up her chest slightly and felt confident.
"I am the boss, you should listen to me."
The other party made a sound and spoke slowly.
"Roast Duck……"
The next second, Gardenia stood up on her tiptoes and covered his mouth tightly with one hand, not even complaining.
"Okay, okay, I'm obedient."
