Chapter 5: Tomato Fried Eggs

The reason why he chose to cook this dish was because of his limited cooking ability. Therefore, this was the only dish he mastered, as he cooked the same thing every day.

[Once I have money, maybe I should hire a maid? ]Jiang Chen thought, before he immediately put away the idea. The secret will cause too much hysteria. Therefore, a servant is not comfortable hiding the truth.

Boyfriend will be his priority.

He thought of the golden rod in the living room, as a mischievous and joyful smile appeared on his face.

Sun Jiao's mind was full of questions she wanted to ask. But instead, he stared at the steaming tomatoes and inhaled the delicious aroma – he could not remember how many times he had already done it.

Jiang Chen had already said that his question would be answered at the dining table. He's in no hurry to know now. He cut the tomatoes silently, but glanced at Jiang Chen who was mixing the eggs. Her faint but happy smile made her heart beat a little faster.

"Light ... Looks like you'll cut the cutting board as well …"

"Ah, uh. "Jiang Chen's voice made Sun Jiao instantly look back at the cutting board. When he realized his disorganized actions, he felt a mixture of anger and shame. But behind those emotions, there was a bit of happiness there as well.

[Happiness? A word far away. ]

He almost had to trace back to his lifetime at the defense headquarters.

Sun Jiao vaguely remembered when she was young, the door of the defense headquarters was still locked and was almost like heaven there.

There is no crime, no class structure, and a society governed by Artificial Intelligence. Everyone shares work and resources, and there is no conflict of interest. Everyone is good and happy. Although people occasionally yearned for the blue sky, no one questioned their happiness. Compared to deserts, survival base 071 is heaven.

At that time, both of his parents were still alive. She has a sweet sister who is only a year younger. After the end of the locking period at the defense headquarters, the two of them witnessed the first rays of sunlight shining through the cold steel door.

Then they lost each other.

He later learned that many bandits chose a bad and newly opened defensive base as the target of an attack. They used the remaining consciences of those people and plundered their supplies and population to survive. During the raid, he lost his family.

After that incident, he broke the remaining conscience he had, and became a qualified “victim of desert”.

But for some strange reason, his frozen emotions were melting a little now.

[Family?]

These last two days have been the most emotional in recent years. With a bitter smile on his face, he shook his head. He then placed the tomato slices into the bowl.

To suppress his emotions, he only needed to take a deep breath. However, the feeling that touched the softest part of his heart could no longer be hidden.

Even Sun Jiao, herself, did not realize that the man standing beside her became a little more important in her heart.

As he watched Sun Jiao devour the dish, Jiao Chen laughed hearing that. This was the first time he had seen someone eating this dish with such great excitement.

“I know you have many questions. Why do I have so much food. '' Jiang Chen put down his bowl and looked at Sun Jiao calmly.

“I can't explain my feelings. "Sun Jiao also stopped eating as she looked into Jiang Chen's eyes. In a confused voice, he replied, "you gave me the feeling that .. almost like you from a fairy tale. ”

"Psh, fairy tale?" Jiang Chen was astonished.

"That's from books published before the war. At the survival base, we call it a fairy tale. “Sun Jiao sighed as she continued to mock herself,“ everyone lives in harmony, with family, friends, and even lovers. Regardless of what you think, it must be a fairy tale. As the sun first shone on me, when I was seven years old. ”

Jiang Chen was silent. He walked to the fridge and picked up a few cans of beer. He turned around and gave her a reassuring smile. “Where I come from, when people feel tired and lost, they drink. ”

Sun Jiao gulped down her beer as her throat let out a satisfied voice.

“Grrr. It doesn't taste as good as Coke. ”

“However, this is a good way to get your emotions out. Which is a good thing at the end of the day. '' Jiang Chen also sipped his beer. How many times did he drink alone? Only after graduating did Jiang Chen start to enjoy the feeling of being drunk. He wanders into an unknown city, works in an unknown company, and is burdened with the pressures of work and life after he is fired.

The cruel reality of destroying a porcelain tower in his dream.

When she receives a notice of a termination, she feels the world crumbling around her.

At least here, there was someone drinking with him. This apocalyptic world was not as bad as he had imagined.

They chatted as if they had been good friends for years. With their hands crossed, their distance was getting closer, so was their heart.
