It was late at night, and Ning Cheng and Cao Shuang arrived safely in the land of China.

Ning Cheng was very comfortable returning to his own country, and stretched out outside the airport, Ning Cheng asked, "Where are you going to go?" ”

"I don't know, I can't go back to this point, I may live in a hotel." Cao Shuang said.

Yes, it's already three o'clock in the morning, and although there are cars on the street, most of them have already fallen asleep.

"Otherwise, go to where I live, I have a courtyard house in the imperial capital, and there are a lot of rooms." Ning Cheng asked tentatively.

Cao Shuang hesitated for a few seconds, but finally nodded, "I'm a little hungry." ”

"Yes, Captain Cao's stomach was handed over to me, although the cooking skills are not good, but it's okay."

"Yes." Cao Shuang nodded.

The two stopped a taxi and went to the vegetable market before heading back, the à la carte market was sparsely populated, but some of the diligent vendors had already begun to collect the vegetables and meat they had to sell in the morning.

After purchasing some stones, Ning Cheng and Cao Shuang returned to the courtyard house in Ningcheng.

After entering the courtyard, Ning Cheng and Cao Shuang's footsteps were relatively gentle, after all, Xiao Zhong Ling should have slept at this point.

As soon as he came to the door, Ning Cheng whispered, "Xiaodong, come out." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door directly opposite opened, and Xiaodong walked out.

"Hehe, the boss still can't hide your ears."

Cao Shuang was a little surprised, because she didn't feel anything at all.

She didn't ask Ning Cheng who the young man in front of her was, she still knew the truth if she shouldn't ask.

"I'll go do something, you take care of Cao Shuang first, she is my teammate."

"The boss's teammates?" Xiaodong looked at Cao Shuang and said with some trepidation, "Cao Beauty, please go inside!" ”

Ning Cheng smiled and walked into the kitchen alone.

"Boss, don't you need help?"

"Shut your mouth is helping." Ning Cheng's voice came from the kitchen.

Cao Shuang took a look at the scene of the kitchen, it was very simple to arrange, round table, chairs, refrigerator, this is a very homely courtyard.

"Cao Beauty, drink water." Xiaodong poured a glass of water.

"Thank you." Cao Shuang took a sip of water, and then said, "What is the relationship between you and Ning Cheng?" ”

"He's my boss." Xiaodong said vaguely.

"Oh." Cao Shuang nodded.

Not long after, there was a burst of noodle fragrance in the kitchen, and Ning Cheng walked out with two large bowls of noodles, put them in front of Xiaodong and Cao Shuang, and said, "It's a little meaning, it's not a respect." ”

"Wow, it's been a long time since I've eaten the noodles cooked by the boss." Xiaodong immediately picked up chopsticks and ate noodles in a big gulp.

Ning Cheng knocked on his head and said, "Be careful, little Zhong Ling will wake up later." ”

"Rest assured that the boss... I've been taking her to the amusement park for a fun day, and I'm tired! You don't know how difficult it is for you to serve this little princess, you just want to find Brother Ning at every turn..."

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "That's my sister." ”

Cao Shuang was eating noodles quietly on the side, since Ning Cheng was in the virtual war room, Cao Shuang had investigated Ning Cheng and knew that Ning Cheng had adopted the daughter of a comrade-in-arms, which was one of the reasons why she was looking for Ning Cheng to cooperate.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Xiaodong volunteered to wash the dishes, and naturally left Ning Cheng and Cao Shuang.

Before washing the dishes, Xiaodong squeezed his eyebrows at Ning Cheng, and Ning Cheng, who was angry, almost didn't kick over.

In the courtyard, Ning Cheng and Cao Shuang sat on chairs.

"You're an interesting friend."

"Well, it's just a child."

"Will the child have a tattoo of lightning on his neck?" Cao Shuang asked.

"It's better not to learn from a young age." Ning Cheng said with a smile, and immediately opened the topic and said, "Okay, you can sleep in the room next to you at night, it's not too early, go to sleep." ”

"Okay, the noodles are not bad, I'll go to bed first, and you can go to bed early." Cao Shuang said politely, and entered the room after speaking.

Ning Cheng was smoking a cigarette alone in the courtyard and did not speak.

Xiaodong finished washing the dishes and walked out, took out a cigarette from Ningcheng's cigarette box, lit it himself, took a puff, and said, "Boss, did you use your ability again this time?" ”

Ning Cheng smoked a cigarette and nodded.

"But..."

"Nothing." Ning Cheng said with a smile, "Don't worry, I can't die for the time being, don't you say it, the old man, I belong to Xiaoqiang, I won't die." ”

"Will you go back?" Xiaodong asked.

"Go back?" Ning Cheng smiled bitterly, he naturally knew what Xiaodong meant, go back, go back to his previous life, go back to the old days.

"I want peace now, and this life is good now, at least I can cool off in the courtyard without a mask... Don't worry. ”

"Well, I like it too."

Ning Cheng patted Xiaodong on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Help me take care of Xiao Zhongling, and you can spend more time in my absence in the future." ”

"Yes."

......

A few hours later, it was dawn.

Ning Cheng meditated in his room for a few hours, and he adjusted his chaotic internal breath, although there was no cure for the broken body, but at least it made him feel better.

Cao Shuang got up very early, and she got up when the weather was slightly cold, and she had the habit of running in the morning since she was a child.

When she got up, she subconsciously glanced at Ning Cheng's room, and coincidentally, Ning Cheng actually opened the door as well.

"So early?" Ning Cheng and Cao Shuang said at the same time.

"I'm going for a run." Cao Shuang said.

"I'm going to prepare breakfast for them, remember to come back and eat it, and we'll go to the base later." Ning Cheng said.

"Got it, thanks." Cao Shuang finished speaking and went out.

Today, Ning Cheng and Cao Shuang have to go back to the base to complete the task, so Ning Cheng must get up early, plus he hasn't seen Xiao Zhongling for a while, so he wants to make a loving breakfast to treat Xiao Zhongling.

An hour later, the smell of food wafted through the courtyard.

Xiao Zhongling rubbed her sleepy eyes on the bed, and she smelled the aroma of food.

"Brother Xiaodong, did you bring me another breakfast of chicken?" Xiao Zhongling walked out with the bear in his arms.

"Little Zhong Ling!"

As soon as the door opened, he saw Ning Cheng wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand calling his name.

Xiao Zhongling rubbed his eyes, a little unsure if he was dreaming.

"Brother Ning Cheng, you're back!" Xiao Zhongling was so happy that he took three steps and two steps and rushed directly into Ning Cheng's arms.

And Cao Shuang, who had just finished running, also happened to come back, she saw this scene and smiled and didn't say anything.

"Come to Xiao Nizi, call Sister Cao." Ning Cheng hugged Xiao Zhongling and said.

"Sister Cao... Sister Cao is so beautiful. Xiao Zhongling said timidly.

Cao Shuang walked to Xiao Zhongling's side with a smile, touched her little nose and said, "Xiao Zhongling is also a little beauty." ”

"Alright, little slacker, go brush your teeth and wash your face, and then have breakfast." Ning Cheng put Zhong Ling down and said.

"Good! Brother Ningcheng, why hasn't Brother Xiaodong gotten up yet? ”

"It's okay, he didn't get up, we can eat more." Ning Cheng said with a smile.

"Damn, the boss doesn't take you like this!" Xiaodong pushed them away and said without tears.

Everyone looked at each other and laughed.

Ning Cheng found that Cao Shuang's smile was really beautiful.
