With curiosity, Lee Hyun-eun took a closer look and thought she was seeing things. What caught her attention even more was a mission in the historical records.
"Xuanya, this human figure plating...?"
Jiang Xuanya felt a little guilty when she explained it. Last time, because of this mission, she had gone over the script with Xiao Chunan, and Xiao Chunan even brought over the toy maid from the house to act as the referee.
"Yes, it's the one from last time. I didn't tell you before because of some reason. I don't know why this matching system assigns such strange tasks. Last time it was just taking pictures together, which was relatively simple and normal. This time it's strange again."
However, in order to reduce suspicion about her and Xiao Chunan, she deliberately whispered in a voice that her mother could hear:
"One theory is that this task was created because it was closely related to things that happened around me and Xiao Chunan, and the matching system used it as a 'common topic' to create a dating task."
Lee Hyun-eun's face stiffened for a moment. If what Hyun-ah said was true, then it meant that it was her problem. Right now, she was the only one with that delicate situation!
It's not right to say it, and it's not right to not say it either.
This is supposed to be a dating mission, supposedly about learning how to feed a baby, but really it's just for Xiao Chu Nan...
"So how do you plan to do this dating mission?"
Lee Hyun-eun turned her gaze to Xiao Chunan, who was shoveling rice into his mouth, pretending not to know or see anything. Lee Hyun-eun then looked at her daughter.
Jiang Xuanya shrugged:
"Just do it, what else can you do? You can't break the relationship during the mission. If you don't complete it, the relationship will stay there and it will keep sending you messages urging you to complete the dating mission. It's very annoying."
"So there's no refresh mission or anything?" Lee Hyun-eun had played mobile games when she was younger and knew about similar functions. So there should be dating missions, right? At least it's a user-friendly design.
"No, and even if there were, we can't rule out the possibility of being assigned an even worse dating task, right?"
Chu Yinan nodded silently. He had experienced plenty of absurd dating missions, but he could only say that nuns like Marissa were better because they encountered fewer strange things and wouldn't trigger any weird missions.
I don't know if it's because she has a very laid-back lifestyle, but she's also very laid-back about this task, and hasn't done it in a long time.
Having laid everything out in the open, Jiang Xuanya naturally stopped hiding anything and asked Xiao Chunan in front of her mother:
"Xiao Chunan, I think this relationship is a bug after all, and it's better to resolve it as soon as possible. When should we start the mission? There's no time like the present, so how about we start in the afternoon after lunch and a nap? Or we could just stay here overnight."
You clearly weren't really interested in doing it this morning, but now you're saying you want to. I think you're just eager to complete the date task. You wicked woman!
“I can’t stay overnight. I’m not staying at home now. I’m staying with a prosecutor because of my care responsibilities. She requires me to go back to her place at night.”
Jiang Xuanya didn't understand what was going on. She didn't know the cause and effect. Although she was curious about why Bei Yutang would be willing to let her younger brother go out, she subconsciously understood it as: a family trip, leaving the child in the care of an acquaintance.
Lee Hyun-eun knew more about the situation. From Xiao Chunan's mood when they chatted this morning, she had guessed that he might have had a conflict with his family. Now, this idea was confirmed, and he might even have run away from home.
She moved her chair forward slightly, bent over a little, and placed her large breasts on the table to relieve the tingling sensation.
"Little Chu Nan, who is that prosecutor to you?"
"Her name is Shibuya Yoshimi. She was the older sister who mentored me when I first started my internship. She's a really nice person... and very enthusiastic. She's taken good care of me since my internship." Chu Yinan's words trailed off towards the end.
It's not that the prosecutor was unkind to him; on the contrary, she was too kind, so kind that she used such expensive stockings to help him relieve stress.
“Prosecutor, I heard that after the AIs’ oversight authority was separated from those departments, some members of the prosecutor’s office…” Lee Hyun-eun had heard some inside information.
Chu Yinan understood what she meant. After all, he had seen it with his own eyes and had even publicly scolded some of the prosecutors: "That's true, but Prosecutor Shibuya is a good person."
"Oh, Mom, don't worry about that. Xiao Chunan used to curse at a few male prosecutors at school, so he definitely knows who the good guys and bad guys are."
Jiang Xuanya thought to herself, "These are all prosecutors that Yu Tang and her family know. Since they dare to entrust Xiao Chunan to her care, they must be trustworthy."
Chu Yinan continued to eat voraciously, refusing to join the conversation.
The rice in the bowl was almost gone. Chu Yinan adhered to the principle of eating only one bowl of rice and never used a spoon, so he put down his chopsticks to indicate that he was full.
The dishes are alright. Chu Yinan dislikes overly sweet foods the most, and a light and mild cooking style makes it hard to go wrong.
Lee Hyun-eun felt a deep sense of satisfaction watching the little guy finish his meal. She reached out and touched his slightly bloated belly, then suddenly patted her own forehead.
"Oh dear, I forgot about that."
"What's wrong?" Chu Yinan blinked in confusion. "Does Aunt Hyun-eun need my help?"
"No need, you can just sit here."
After saying that, the voluptuous, mature woman went into the kitchen and served Chu Yinan and Jiang Xuanya a bowl of clear soup, because she had just filtered out the solids so they wouldn't taste any.
"Here, Xiao Chunan, have some soup. I almost forgot I made soup for you."
Chu Yinan was now a little scared by the stew, and the strange scene of "Big Brother, it's time to take your medicine" echoed in his mind. But looking at the clear soup and smelling the light aroma, he guessed it was vegetable soup or something like that.
"What kind of soup is this?"
"A soup to clear away internal heat."
Something to cool you down? That's great!
Chu Yinan quickly finished the soup.
Chapter 15 What brand of fresh milk is this?
Chu Yinan now has a strong ability to distinguish between different types of tonic soups, but this ability is based on the premise that she has already drunk them.
If your lower abdomen starts to feel hot after eating a bowl of soup, then something is wrong. This heat is not the heat from the food entering the stomach, but a more subtle kind of heat... the heat as the blood begins to flow downwards.
Just like the bowl of soup Chu Yinan is drinking now, he feels a sense of familiarity.
"Aunt Hyun-eun, is this soup a bit too nourishing?"
"Xiao Bu, if you can't even drink any tonic soup, then your body is weak. You'll recover slowly by taking care of yourself. Besides, what soup isn't nourishing? It's delicious and a great food for nourishing the body. It's such a waste if you can't drink it. You'll recover slowly by taking care of yourself."
Although Chu Yinan knew that Aunt Xuanen meant well, he still felt a sense of despair, as if he had been tricked.
Fortunately, the soup does seem to be mildly nourishing, just starting to build up its potency before reaching the point of being overpowering.
The bone-strengthening soup that the prosecutor gave me last night was the real killer.
After finishing the soup, Shibuya called to inquire about Chu Yinan's situation. Chu Yinan wanted to avoid the call before answering, but Sister Xuan Ya and Aunt Xuan En stared at him with strange looks, as if they were afraid he would run away. Chu Yinan didn't move and answered the phone on the spot.
"Hey, Ms. Shibuya, have you had lunch yet? I just finished eating."
[Shibuya Giri: I've eaten. Are you going to rest over there at noon, or should I come pick you up?]
If we can leave now, that would be the best option. The current situation is a bit like a den of dragons and tigers, but we should sever ties before leaving, otherwise we'll have to come back again next time.
"No need for now, you can pick me up after get off work, there's no rush."
[Shibuya Giri: Okay, I'll pick you up around six. Even though you had a fight with your family, you still need to call or text to let them know you're safe.]
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yinan told Aunt Xuanen that she had left in the evening, and then helped clean up the dishes and dry the plates. They didn't charge her for her meals, so Chu Yinan could only do her part.
------------
At 1:30 pm, Chu Yinan, who was taking a nap with Jiang Xuanya, woke up in a daze. A strange sensation kept rubbing against his lips and scraping between his teeth.
He instinctively bit down...the rubbery texture?
The foreign object between his lips woke him from his sleep. He found Jiang Xuanya leaning over him with a smile on her lips, gently helping Xiao Chunan up and letting him lean against her arm.
"Are you awake?"
Chu Yinan had seen some strange emojis before, like a big man looking at you and saying, "You're awake?"
It's kind of scary.
"Sister Xuanya, what...is this smell?"
"It's a blind date assignment. I'm learning how to feed a baby right now~ I just saw you sucking your own mouth even when you're asleep. Isn't it said that babies lose this feeding instinct after their brains mature?"
This sounded like she was implying he wasn't smart enough, but Chu Yinan knew Jiang Xuanya meant she found his subconscious habit of biting his pacifier while sleeping quite amusing.
"I think it was sleepwalking, not the instinct to eat!" Chu Yinan argued. It seemed that the female monster had been bitten on the hickey by him in his sleep.
Jiang Xuanya somehow got hold of a baby bottle, probably ordering it while he was sleeping. But the milk in it was a bit mysterious; Chu Yinan had drunk many brands of milk, but he had never tasted anything like it.
The taste buds detected a slight fishy smell, but the brain seemed to accept and enjoy the taste. Chu Yinan felt that this might be another drink she could accept after coffee, lemon juice, and boiled water.
Chu Yinan, as if he had discovered a treasure, excitedly asked:
"Sister Xuanya, what brand of milk is this? I want to stock up on some to drink!"
Jiang Xuanya's expression was strange, and then she said in a mysterious tone:
"That's a secret. You'll have to ask your Aunt Hyun-eun to buy it. But little Chunan, do you think it tastes good? I can't really accept it."
Jiang Xuanya had heard about this, but wasn't sure if it was true. It's said that some small, privately-owned milk brands contain a substance that adults find offensive, but babies don't, in order to ensure that adults don't steal the baby's nutrition.
"I think I'm fine?"
When the topic returned to the blind date assignment, Chu Yinan protested.
"I thought the task was to buy a small baby toy to try feeding the baby, but why are they treating me like a baby right away!"
Jiang Xuanya's solution to Chu Yinan's protest was very simple: she handed the baby bottle to Chu Yinan's mouth, and the latter hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can't waste food," and obediently drank it.
"What's the difference? Buying a model baby is a waste of money. If you use Xiao Chunan as a baby to feed, you can know whether the feeding action is appropriate and whether the baby will be comfortable."
Chu Yinan was speechless. He felt that this made sense, but the key point was that even if he wanted to refute it, his mouth was blocked by a pacifier.
Chu Yinan finished every last drop of the mysterious brand's milk, still feeling a bit unsatisfied. He thought to himself that he should go and ask Aunt Hyun-eun about it later.
He checked the progress in the matching system. He had been tricked during his afternoon nap, and now the progress bar had reached 23%!
Let's just say the progress is optimistic.
Suddenly, a voluptuous and sexy married woman opened the door a crack, intending to peek in to see if the children were awake. However, because her breasts were too full, there wasn't enough room for her to squeeze in, so she simply pushed the door open and came in.
Seeing that Xiao Chunan and Jiang Xuanya were awake, she breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't have to worry about the sound of the door opening waking them up. However, after noticing the baby bottle in her daughter's hand, Li Xuanen's face stiffened, and she scolded:
"Xuanya, why did you bring this over?"
Lee Hyun-eun usually collects them and keeps them in the refrigerator when she deals with them. It's not that she has any collecting hobby or plans to sell them for money; she doesn't need that kind of money.
It is mainly used to record changes in "flow" to confirm one's physical condition, and it usually collapses the next day.
“Isn’t this about learning to feed a baby? We don’t drink formula, so there’s no need to buy a can of formula. It’s such a waste to throw it away after one use. So I’ll just use what I have on hand.”
"But that stuff tastes awful, how come the bottle is empty? Did you give it all to Xiao Chunan?!" Li Xuanen was both embarrassed and anxious.
Chu Yinan didn't understand what was going on, but still couldn't stop thinking about that milky smell, and asked:
"Aunt Hyun-eun, what brand is this milk? I'll buy a few cases to stock up. I love the taste, and I want more!"
Lee Hyun-eun was extremely embarrassed and reluctantly stroked Xiao Chunan's head:
