Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Staying for the night
Before regression, the remaining experts had shown that the more physically fit one is the higher the chances of awakening a mental power.

If the vegetables can somehow help them, Lu Nanzhi had no reason not to share it with them.

Fortunately, Lin Weihao just silently ate the vegetables and didn’t ask anything about its source and while at it, he didn’t forget to place food in their bowls.

Lu Nanzhi secretly let out a sigh of relief.

To wash down the meals, Nanzhi also prepared fruits and even though they were full, the three were still able to consume them all.

The harmonious atmosphere continued until the end of the meal.

The three of them had good appetites and even though Nanzhi prepared a lot of ingredients, they were able to finish them all with most of the vegetables ending up on the two’s stomach.

“Sister, the vegetables are delicious, can you invite me again?”

“Sure.” Lu Nanzhi agreed, despite not knowing if she can still fulfill his request. The rain won’t stop any soon and would only intensify for following 20 days.

From because he was tired from the continuous flights for several days or because he was so full, Lin Yicheng’s eyelids became heavy and he lay on the soft couch and placed his head on his uncle’s lap.

Lin Weihao laughed lightly before making his nephew’s posture more comfortable.

Nanzhi who’ve just returned from the kitchen with a box on her hand saw the little boy had fallen asleep.

At the same time, a streak of thunder loudly reverberated in the balcony.

Nanzhi flinched and quickly closed the balcony doors.

She looked at the tinted glass and was confused as to why there was a thunderstorm.

The system only implied heavy rain and flood on the current dungeon. However there was another loud thunderous noise.

Regardless, it was unsafe to drive in this situation, especially when the military base is located in the high-laying area.

“Mr. Lin, since it’s getting late, how about staying for the night. I have an extra bedroom where you could sleep.” Her mind was still occupied by the thunder just now, letting her miss the glint in the man’s eyes.

Lin Weihao parted his lips, “Then, I have to trouble Miss Lin.”

“It’s no trouble.”

When Nanzhi left to clean the other bedroom and changed the bed sheets, Lin Weihao spoke, “She’s gone. You can open your eyes now.”

Lin Yicheng was actually just pretending to sleep and had been listening to their conversation. Knowing that he can stay here all night, he was very happy.

“You helped me before uncle and now we’re even!” The one Lin Yicheng was referring to was about Lin Weihao being silent about his picky palette. He looked at his uncle with look that says ‘asking for praise.’

Lin Weihao lifted the little boy and made him sit on his lap.

He pinched Yicheng’s cheeks softly before mumbling, “When did you become so mischievous?” Even though his tone laced with a little reproach, the tilt of his lips betrayed his feelings.

Probably because of the thunder that’s suddenly appeared before she can investigate anything and the fact that she had consciously let down her guard around Lin Yicheng, Nanzhi didn’t notice the little boy pretending.

Lin Yicheng stuck out his tongue, “I asked Uncle ran to teach me a few days ago. Anyway, I’m just helping you but that thunder just now sound so scary, Uncle.”

“Don’t do it again. Lying would make her sad.”

“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.” Lin Yicheng lowered his head and pressed his lips. He didn’t want to make his sister sad.

Lin Weihao gave his head a pat.

Hearing the footsteps echoing in the hallway connecting the kitchen and bedroom, Lin Weihao said, “She’s here.”

Lin Yicheng’s eyes widened. He placed his head on his uncle’s chest again and resumed his acting.

Nanzhi arrived with clothes in her hands, one for Lin Yicheng and the other for Weihao.

“It’s my father’s clothes. Don’t worry, they are unused.” Nanzhi said, spouting a lie since it was the clothes she bought for them. Her father’s real clothes were stored in her inventory and it would not fit Lin Weihao at all.

Her mind was struck with an idea of how to give Lin Weihao items without being suspicious.

What a perfect coincidence, it was a perfect fit and smelled brand new.

Lin Weihao silently smiled, his thoughts unreadable, “Thank you.”

…..

Lu Nanzhi watched as Lin Weihao skillfully cleaned and changed the little dumpling’s clothes into a set of cartoon pajamas.

His actions were gentle throughout and the little boy didn’t wake up at all.

She offered help but Lin Weihao didn’t accept, saying that they already brought enough trouble to her.

Lin Yicheng was also asking the same thing in his heart but his uncle only whispered. “You’re already a boy.”

Hmph!

Lin Yicheng pouted in his mind and couldn’t help but say in a hushed tone, “I want to sleep in Sister’s room.”

Lin Weihao only uttered, “Chen’er.”

“Ugh, Uncle you’re no fun.” Lin Yicheng shifted on his side and genuinely fallen asleep after a few seconds.

After Lin Weihao tucked him to bed, he closed the door of the bedroom and went out, just in time to see a freshly bathed Nanzhi.

“Mr. Lin, I’m going to bed first. Knock on my bedroom and tell me if you need anything.”

“En.” She was dressed conservatively and there was nothing inappropriate but Lin Weihao couldn’t take off his eyes on her.

Lin Weihao’s gaze became unsteady watching Nanzhi retreat to her room.

Nanzhi slowly fall asleep after preparing the boxes of supplies she was planning to give Lin Weihao and Lin Yicheng tomorrow.

When morning came, Nanzhi woke up the clattering sound in the kitchen.

She carefully opened the door and turned on the lights before checking the other bedroom but Lin Yicheng was still asleep and Lin Weihao was not in the bed.

She went to search for him and found him in the living room with his upper body bare skin.

The TV was on and and he was listening to the news. Nanzhi was about to greet him when the system who had long been silent rang in her head at this time.
