Chapter Thirty-Eight: Warmth (Seeking Follow-up)
"Looks like that Kaz has been caught, what a surprise!"
Dean whistled and rang the doorbell.
It was Sinclair who opened the door.
She opened a crack in the door, but instead of removing the chain lock, she smiled slyly: "Dean, you haven't been back for a few days, and my mother is very upset, saying that she is going to lose his most handsome son, but if I help her, my mother should be angry and let you into the house." ”
Her mother, Sheila, is the daughter of a very traditional Italian farmer.
Their concept of life is somewhat similar to that of Chinese, they are more inclined to family life and like to live with their families, so in this country, it is more common for Chinese and Italians to form families.
In the face of Sinclair's naked bribery, Dean kicked the gift box under his feet: "But I brought you a gift this time." ”
"Ho Ho~"
Sinclair let out a cry of joy and ripped off the chains: "I'll help you with good words, my handsome brother." ”
With that, she jumped up and gave Dean a hug and a kiss.
Dean was hugged by Sinclair, triggering injuries on both shoulders, grinning in pain, but unconsciously smiling in his eyes.
This is family.
That's nice.
...
After entering the door, the mother, who was indulging in a talk show, also gave Dean a big hug and kiss to welcome: "Baby, are you done with your case?" ”
"Of course." Dean struggled to put down the largest gift box: "We caught the serial rape and murder murderer who has been rumored to be very popular recently, and I also got a few days off. ”
"Looks like you're well suited to your current job." Sheila kicked the large gift box at her feet and said with some dissatisfaction: "But you look a little weak, son." ”
Dean: "... I just sprained my arm, it's hard to exert myself! ”
Sinclair also brought a cold drink and joined the topic: "Brother, there is no need to explain, you are so handsome, it is normal to be a little weaker, it is better than you walking squirming and limping, so that I will worry." ”
"That's right." Sheila nodded in agreement.
Dean:???
He didn't understand.
"Okay, let's change the subject, the small box is Mom's, the middle box is Sinclair's, and the last big box is Thompson's, by the way, what about the Thompsons?"
"The date went!"
While Sinclair explained, he quickly picked up his box, opened it, and then exclaimed: "It's actually the latest witch suit, ahhhhhhh!!h This thing is super expensive, my sisters will definitely be super envious of me, I love you so much, brother! ”
Sheila also couldn't wait to open the gift box.
Dean gave her a complete set of cosmetics: "Mom, thank you for always taking care of our four siblings like a father and mother. ”
These are the words from his heart, with the gratitude of his predecessors and his own admiration.
In the United States, it is very rare for a woman like Sheila, after her husband's death, to raise four children alone, and in order not to let the children be wronged, she will not find a new partner.
Sheila was moved to tears by Dean's words.
She covered her mouth with her hands and cried: "Dean, I... I'm glad you've really grown up, you never said that before, and I love your gift! ”
Dean was very eye-catching, and gave Sheila a strong hug: "We'll protect you in the future, Mom." ”
The two are sensationalizing.
Stinky sister Sinclair broke the atmosphere: "Mom, have you noticed that after work, Dean is more and more good at coaxing girls." ”
Dean rolled his eyes and gave her a middle finger...
accompanied the two to watch a talk show.
Dean excused himself to go up and rest, and limped up the stairs with the large toolbox for Thompson.
The box is heavy, and every step you take will trigger injuries.
Sinclair inadvertently caught a glimpse of this scene, gasped, and hurriedly pulled Sheila, who had not recovered from the previous sensationalism, and muttered quietly: "Mom, look at Dean's walking posture!" ”
Sheila wiped her tears, turned her head to look, and then gasped: "Oh~ Sinclair, do you have a suitable partner, introduce it to your brother!" ”
"I have a lot of sisters, but if I introduce my brother, he will go to jail...", Sinclair's face was full of confusion.
Her sisters weren't very old.
Dean didn't know that he had inadvertently been mistaken by his mother and sister for a.
He was lying in bed right now, ready to start strengthening himself.
Every time it is strengthened, it is powered in the form of a warm current, which is very magical.
Dean wondered if this warm current would help his injury.
My heart moved.
On the detective panel, the values change.
Attribute points: 2→1.
Speed: 10→11.
The warm current came as scheduled.
The next moment.
Dean had a gleeful look in his eyes.
When the warm current strengthens all parts of the body, the position of the wounds in the limbs also transmits a tingling feeling.
Reinforcement ends.
Dean clenched his fists, raised his legs, and the joy in his eyes faded: "It seems that when it is strengthened, the recovery of injuries is only incidental, although it has an effect, it is not as strong as imagined, and it is estimated that it is useless for fatal injuries." ”
I can't get stuck in the bug.
Slightly lost.
Dean tried again for changes in his body.
The body is lighter, and the reaction speed has also improved slightly, but it is not a qualitative change, and the injuries on the body basically do not affect normal activities.
"Go on!"
Attribute points: 1→0.
Speed: 11→12.
This time, the warm current is larger.
Reinforcement ends.
Dean found that his injuries had fully recovered, and at the same time, the coordination of his hands and feet was finally the same as last time, and there was a noticeable difference.
This is because his nervous response has become significantly faster, but his body has not yet adapted immediately.
Throughout the night, Dean was adjusting to the changes in his body.
The next day, it was getting lighter.
Dean sat cross-legged on the bed, his right hand reaching out of his pocket and placing it in front of his eyes again, and between his fingers, an inconspicuous black blade had appeared.
Fingers flickered.
The blade was like flowing water, nimbly shuttling between the fingers, leaving a series of black phantoms under the reflection of the morning light, like undulating waves.
The whole process lasted more than ten minutes.
It wasn't until his fingers trembled slightly and the blade came out of his hand that Dean stopped contentedly.
Now he's not only persistent, powerful, but also flexible.
The future is promising.
As for the two skill points, Dean is ready to keep them first.
...
The base of the body becomes stronger.
The energy consumed by Dean's every move has also become larger.
Touched his stomach.
He headed downstairs.
"Dean, why don't you sleep more?" Sheila, the old mother, has gotten up and is preparing breakfast for her three precious children.
"Go to bed early, wake up early, Mom, your breakfast is so delicious, I love it to death!" Dean picks up a sandwich and devours it.
"Haha." When Sheila heard Dean's praise, her eyes were full of satisfaction, but her mouth was disgusted: "Have you brushed your teeth?" ”
"Hey, hey, brush it after eating."
Finish breakfast.
Sinclair and Thompson, who were going to school, finally got up.
Seeing Dean, Thompson was uncharacteristically enthusiastic: "Dude, your gift is great. ”
"Of course, a complete toolbox, but every man's dream! By the way, Thompson, happy date. ”。
"Hey, hey." , Thompson smiled but did not speak, slightly shy.
Sinclair on the side was full of disgust: "Thompson, I thought you wouldn't be back yesterday, and I kindly put an umbrella in your pocket, which I bought with pocket money, you are really wasting my money." ”
"Haha."
Dean was amused by Sinclair's words, which should have been his responsibility as an older brother, but Sinclair did it for him.
He pinched Sinclair's baby fat cheek, "Everyone, see you next weekend." ”
The warmth of home warmed Dean's lonely heart.
He began to really take on the identity of his present and enjoy it.
Pack up your mood.
Dean is ready to go to the police station and interrogate Kaz personally!
He will never allow anyone to spoil everything that is good now!
Neither can God!
