Chapter 23 A family of four meets
"Shanks, I haven't seen you for such a long time, do you miss me?"
Jinan smiled and scratched Shanks's little nose, then put Shanks on his neck.
"How...how could it be possible...you...I didn't miss you."
Shanks blushed and turned his head to the side, but his inner joy was already written all over his face.
"So that's how it is. Brother is so sad." Jin An saw all of Shanks' expressions and pretended to be sad.
Hearing Jin An's tone drop, Shanks panicked: "I still... I still have something in mind..."
Ginny and Big Bear looked at this pair of funny guys and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. One was a proud and arrogant brother-con, while the other was a mischievous brother-con. They really were not from the same family.
"Thank you for taking care of Shanks during this time."
Jinan felt a little embarrassed. He thought he would only be out for an afternoon, but he didn't expect that he would not come back until now.
Ginny's face was stern, and she said calmly: "What you said, how dare we not do what the colonel said..."
"Just please take good care of the child in the future and don't let the child worry about you anymore."
Hearing that Ginny's tone was a little strange, Big Bear hurriedly explained: "She didn't mean that... Don't be angry with Ginny..."
Jin An slapped Big Bear on the head and laughed: "Big Bear, Ginny will definitely keep a close eye on you from now on."
"Don't worry about my strength. If you can't beat me, you can run away from me."
The three of them have lived together for so many years. They are not a family, but they are better than a family.
What Ginny said just now was an insult to her friend, who was so busy with work that he didn't consider his family's feelings.
The little girl obviously had a lot to say, but she was a little shy.
Shanks tilted his head, with a look of delight on his face: "Big Bear, are you so concerned that you're confused?"
He understood what Ginny and Jinan said. It seemed that something was going on between Big Bear and Ginny.
Ginny blushed: "What are you talking about? I will ignore you if you continue talking..."
In the past few years, she and Daxiong have long regarded Jinan as their brother, and the relationship between them is self-evident.
As Jinan and Shanks joked around, her uneasiness faded away. She was as worried about Jinan's safety as Daxiong was, but she was too embarrassed to say it in front of the child.
"Ah?" Daxiong was a little confused. He was obviously familiar with the words in these sentences, but when they were put together, he had trouble understanding them.
"Let's go home together. I'll cook a big meal for you tonight." Jin An said heroically.
"..."
"Colonel Jinan, where should I go?"
Huoshaoshan, who followed behind Jinan, felt reluctant to disturb the happy moment of the colonel's family, but he had nowhere to go if he didn't say anything.
"Uh, the mountain is on fire, I almost forgot about you." Jin An slapped his head, and Shanks on his shoulder also shook, "Did you see the tallest building on the island?"
Huoshaoshan nodded honestly: "I see."
Before getting off the boat, he carefully observed the island where he would work and live in the future. The tallest building was so magnificent, how could he not see it?
"Now that you've seen it, just go there and report. I've already said hello to Kuzan."
After saying that, he waved to Huoshaoshan and followed Daxiong and the others towards their residence.
"Have I been abandoned..." Huoshaoshan murmured to himself.
The warship that brought them to the Kingdom of Solbe has returned, leaving him alone standing disheveled in the sea breeze.
"..."
"Excuse me, are you burning the mountain?"
A somewhat excited voice was so pleasant in the sea breeze.
"Yes I am."
Huoshaoshan looked at the soldier walking towards him and was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. There was actually someone here who knew him. He was no longer a lonely traveler.
The man took a step forward with excitement on his face and grabbed Huoshaoshan's hand tightly, as if he had met a long-lost brother.
"It's better to meet in person than to hear about someone. I'm Kuzan, welcome to the Solbe Kingdom branch."
"Colonel Jinan should have told you about my situation."
Huoshaoshan was a little uncomfortable with Kuzan's enthusiasm and nodded subconsciously.
Kuzan looked at the burning mountain in front of him and thought to himself, finally a savior has arrived. He has been working overtime for a month and is about to die of sudden death.
The colonel trusts the abilities of the people recommended by him and they can definitely start working directly at the branch and share the pressure for him.
Huoshaoshan felt a little overwhelmed. He silently withdrew his hand and wiped it behind his back without leaving a trace.
I don’t think he’s a pervert. His sexual orientation is very normal.
However, this person was the one nominated by the colonel, and he seemed unable to refuse. The more Huoshaoshan thought about it, the more bleak his future seemed.
Is the only way to do this is to follow the other party?
Huoshaoshan was a little entangled, but in the end he chose to put his hand back...
Mom, I'm not clean anymore...
Kuzan noticed Huoshaoshan's movements and thought he had met a soulmate who understood what he meant, so he quickly grabbed his hand and ran away. He finally had a helper!!!
......
"Ginny, let me tell you, Big Bear is a little slow in thinking and has a bit of a stubborn personality... You have to speak directly to others, otherwise that guy... (The dog shook his head when he saw this)"
On the way back, Jin An spoke earnestly. He could see what Ginny was thinking, but he also knew Big Bear's character.
"Jin An, what are you talking about..." Ginny's face turned red, but she still chose to play dumb.
"Hey......"
Big Bear was always afraid that his identity would affect other people, so he didn't dare to reveal his inner thoughts or get too close to them, thus developing a taciturn personality.
Jin An said that he was worried sick, but they seemed afraid to reveal their feelings.
“Let it be…”
"What, what..." Shanks, who was having fun, seemed to be triggered by the key words and ran to Jinan in a flash.
"Go play somewhere else, kid." Jinan patted Shanks on the head and pushed him aside.
Shanks' expression turned serious and he protested loudly, "I'm not a child anymore!"
"Okay, okay, got it. I'll give you BC calcium milk when we get home. Now go play." Jin An nodded perfunctorily.
He really couldn't understand what the little brat meant by pretending to be an adult.
Shanks, who ran out, suddenly reacted and gritted his teeth: "Aren't you still treating me like a child..."
"One day, I will let you know...how powerful I am...hum╭(╯^╰)╮"
"But BC calcium milk is really delicious..."
Ginny pouted beside us and said, "She's here to teach us a lesson. She couldn't even guess what Shanks was thinking."
All Shanks wanted was to be able to help Jinan when he became an adult.
Ginny looked at Jinan's back. His not-so-strong body provided them with a full sense of security, allowing them to grow up without worries.
"Sometimes, you can rely on us a little more, silly brother..."
