# Chapter 570: An Enviable Love

The Bose Body looked utterly speechless. "The way you distinguish between us is just by size?"

The little egg pouch hugged the Bose Body for a long time before finally pulling away. Her big eyes fell on Jiangnan, carrying a hint of fear!

Still, she handed out the bottle of Old Lady Chili Sauce, then turned the bottle upside down!

Little Egg Pouch: "Nope~(•̥́﹏•̀ू)"

The chili sauce bottle was scraped completely clean, and the small spoon in her hand had been licked clean too!

Jiangnan was stunned. Eating it dry?

She loved chili sauce this much? Not even eating it with some steamed buns or rolls?

Jiangnan grinned brilliantly and pulled out another box of Old Lady Chili Sauce from his alternate dimension, placing it in front of her!

"From now on, you can have as much as you want! Haha!"

Little Egg Pouch's eyes lit up, looking very delighted, and made a thank-you gesture toward Jiangnan!

Then she pulled out a bottle of chili sauce and offered it to the Bose Body like a treasured gift: "Here~"

The Bose Body's eyes were full of tenderness. She gently ruffled Little Egg Pouch's head.

"Choosing to trust you is the best decision I've ever made in my life!"

"I'm suddenly looking forward to the life ahead!"

Jiangnan rubbed his nose a bit sheepishly. "Come on! Let me pick a place for you to call home!"

The three of them found a garden villa covered in ivy among the ruins of Ancheng. It seemed to have merged with nature!

Then Jiangnan notified Han Menglu to control the Toy House core and move the garden villa to a small valley with beautiful mountains and clear waters as their new home!

Furniture and such would be arranged later through Han Menglu's side.

Looking at the garden villa before her, the Bose Body smiled, her big eyes filled with satisfaction!

She suddenly said, "Give us two names. Consider it a gift for starting our new life!"

Neither of the two Bose Bodies had names, because they didn't need them!

But since they chose to integrate into the human world, they had to follow the rules here!

Jiangnan stroked his chin, looking at the two of them thoughtfully. "I need to think carefully about this!"

The Bose Body lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers, her pretty face slightly flushed. "Can we take the surname Jiang?"

Jiangnan was startled. He had the surname Jiang because he was found in Jiangcheng!

He didn't even know what his own father's surname was!

Wanting to take my surname?

For some reason, Jiangnan felt a warmth in his heart!

"Heh heh! Of course, you can. Wait, I've thought of your names!"

The two Bose Bodies looked at him expectantly!

"What are they?"

Jiangnan said proudly, "You're called Jiang Papaya, and she's called Jiang Egg Pouch! How about it? Pretty distinctive, right?"

"Aren't I a little genius?"

[+1000 Resentment Points from Jiang Papaya!]
[+1000 Resentment Points from Jiang Papaya...]

The Bose Body gritted her teeth, glaring at Jiangnan!

What the hell is Papaya and Egg Pouch?!

Ahhh! Can you be serious for once? I'm being very sincere here, okay?

Little Egg Pouch happily spun around in place!

"Jiang Egg Pouch! Yay~"

Jiangnan said approvingly, "See? She loves it!"

The Bose Body's face darkened. "What the hell is Egg Pouch? Not taking that! It sounds terrible! Start over, and don't leave until you come up with something good!"

Jiangnan looked troubled. Such nice names, how could they sound terrible?

"Jiang Big Horn? Jiang Chili Sauce?"

Little Egg Pouch: "Jiang Chili Sauce! Yay~"

Bose Body: "Grind~~!!!"

And you call yourself a little genius? You're a naming disaster!

I refuse to be called Jiang Big Horn!

"By the way, why does she have two horns while you only have one?"

The Bose Body said irritably, "Her parents were probably upper clan... Just come up with a name already!"

Jiangnan shrank his neck. If he didn't come up with one soon, the unicorn big sister might hit him!

"Then you'll be Jiang Ning! And Little Egg Pouch will be Jiang Jing!"

"Ningjing—may the two of you have a tranquil home in this world!"

The Bose Body paused, then smiled. "Jiang Ning, huh? That sounds nice. We'll go with this!"

Little Egg Pouch: (。í‸ì。) Jiang Chili Sauce...

[+233 Resentment Points from Jiang Ning!]

Looks like Little Egg Pouch wasn't particularly fond of the name Jiang Jing. She still preferred being called Jiang Chili Sauce...

Bidding farewell to Jiang Ning and Jiang Jing, Jiangnan turned back, feeling completely at ease!

If she ever wanted to see him, Jiang Ning could slip out through the Toy House. Very convenient!

But Jiang Ning seemed unwilling to talk much about her past!

Like why she was exiled, why Jiang Jing was abandoned in the Toy House!

What did the so-called upper clan mean?

What kind of existence was the Bose race?

People like Yang Jian and Ye Zhenguo, who had experienced the Spirit Calamity, knew something but weren't willing to say much!

Naturally, Jiangnan wouldn't pry!

He only cared about the present. At least he was satisfied with this outcome!

Just as he stepped out of the Toy House, he saw Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao waiting outside!

They were wearing training clothes, covered in sweat and still steaming. Da Lang Mie's silver short hair was damp from perspiration!

The moment they saw Jiangnan emerge from the Toy House, their eyes lit up with joy!

They ran over and pounced on him!

"Heya~ Xiao Nan!"

"You're back! That's wonderful!"

The two hugged Jiangnan tightly from left and right, as if afraid he'd slip away if they let go!

|)`ヮ´(|

Jiangnan's face was squeezed out of shape, feeling nothing but warmth!

He could even hear Xuexue and Lang Mie's racing heartbeats!

Wow! Da Lang Mie was still this fierce!

Xuexue had grown too! Thumbs up, thumbs up!

Xia Yao giggled, "Nice and warm, right?"

Jiangnan nodded repeatedly. "Mm! Nice and warm!"

"So now you know what it means to have hot food, right?"

Jiangnan froze, then his old face flushed red, and his heart nearly exploded!

"This dish smells way too good!"

Zhong Yingxue's pretty face was red enough to bleed. Her eyelashes trembled. "Yao Yao, stop teasing Xiao Nan. Dinner's ready at home. We're waiting for you to come eat. Don't let it get cold!"

Jiangnan's heart warmed. Looking at the faint dark circles under Zhong Yingxue's eyes, he felt a pang of sympathy!

She probably hadn't slept well since Brother Ye and Zhu Ge left the Academy for the US, right?

"Let's go! Time to eat!"

Just as they were about to head back, they saw Wu Liang standing nearby in a tuxedo with a bow tie, his whole presence standing out!

He was even holding a bouquet of flowers!

Jiangnan's eyes lit up. Wu Liang cleaned up nicely! Although still a bit behind him, he looked handsome enough!

Looks like he'd been preparing for this meeting in secret!

"Hey? What kind of flower is Wu Liang holding? Why is it green?"

Xia Yao looked exasperated. "What flower! That's broccoli! I told him to buy 99 roses. Girls like that sort of thing—romantic! But Wu Liang refused!"

Zhong Yingxue snickered. "He went to the market early this morning and carefully picked out 99 heads of broccoli. Does Iron Ox really like broccoli?"

Jiangnan was dumbfounded!

What girl would like her boyfriend giving her broccoli?!

Big guy! What were you thinking?!

Even if Iron Ox was different from normal people, you can't give her broccoli!

This meeting was probably going to crash and burn! Jiangnan was about to call out to him!

Just then, Wu Liang exclaimed excitedly, "Miaomiao!"

Iron Ox was startled. Her gaze fell on Wu Liang, and her eyes lit up. "Bear Bear~"

She strode over quickly, her two braids bouncing in the air!

And slammed right into Wu Liang's arms!

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Wu Liang's face turned pale. He took a deep breath and his complexion returned to normal!

Jiangnan swallowed hard. That hit definitely caused some internal injury, didn't it?

At this point, Xiao Chuihuo and Guan Hu were all baffled. Miaomiao?

What was going on? A two-meter-tall muscular woman with braids had such a cute name?

And she pounced into Wu Liang's arms? This this...

Xiao Chuihuo said angrily, "What's wrong with young people these days? A man and a man... that... that just won't work!"

Guan Hu added, "Although the Academy doesn't oppose you having relationships, you can't just do whatever you want!"

"Jiangnan! You need to advise your brother!"

Tao Xinyi's pretty face flushed slightly as she watched Wu Liang and Iron Ox with shining eyes, her fujoshi soul burning brightly. "Oh ho? Oh ho ho~"

Jiangnan smiled wryly. "Lin Miaoke! Active Dark Night Army! Platinum-level Tank! Codename Iron Ox! She's a girl!"

Xiao Chuihuo's eyes bulged, and he nearly passed out from shock. Guan Hu coughed violently, almost coughing out his gold dentures!

A girl? How could she be a girl? The style was all wrong!

Tao Xinyi looked disappointed instead!

Wu Liang held Iron Ox, his eyes full of affection. "I got this for you. Like it?"

Iron Ox stared blankly at the 99 heads of broccoli, her face darkening!

"This is what you're giving me?"

What the hell was broccoli? And here I was so excited!

Wu Liang said solemnly, "If I gave you roses, they'd just sit in a corner. And roses would eventually wither!"

"These 99 heads of broccoli represent my longing for you! They're flowers, but also vegetables! We can eat them tonight!"

"Let this longing of mine merge with your stomach, your body—not just sit there withering away!"

"Miaomiao! Do you understand my heart?"

Iron Ox was stunned, looking at the broccoli, then at Wu Liang's serious face. Her eyes welled up with tears!

"Bear Bear~ You're so thoughtful, such a good man, so good at managing the household!"

"Do you like it?"

"I love it! More than 99 roses! This is the best gift I've ever received!"

Jiangnan: ∑(๑°口°)
Xia Yao: ∑(๐º△º)
Zhong Yingxue: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)

This... this actually works?!

What kind of iron-willed, straight-man love was this?!

A bunch of broccoli, and you actually moved me to tears with your explanation!

Who knew that the normally straightforward Wu Liang had such a tender heart...

Wu Liang grinned. "Eat one. There's a surprise!"

Iron Ox's beautiful eyes were shy. She plucked a head of broccoli and stuffed it into her mouth. Crunchy...

Then Iron Ox saw a hotel room card hidden beneath the 99 heads of broccoli!

Her pretty face instantly turned red!

Wu Liang raised an eyebrow. "Like it, Miaomiao?"

Iron Ox's earlobes were bright red. She twisted her body shyly and punched Wu Liang in the chest with a fist the size of a cauldron!

"Boom!"

"Bear Bear, you're so annoying! You're bad~"

Wu Liang's eyes bulged, his face turning liver-colored. A mouthful of old blood surged up his throat, which he forcefully swallowed!

Jiangnan's face turned pale with fright. So this was the legendary feminine power?

"Ahem... So... did you bring your ID?"

Iron Ox blushed. "I did. I have three days off. Let's find a place to eat the broccoli!"

Wu Liang laughed heartily. "Alright! Big brother will take you to eat broccoli!"

He turned back and said, "Boss! I'm not coming back tonight! Don't leave the door open for me!"

Jiangnan covered his face, raised his hand, and sent a space wormhole, tossing a bottle of Dali Strength and a bundle of leeks into Wu Liang's arms!

Wu Liang was moved. Gotta hand it to Boss Nan!

Watching Wu Liang's retreating figure, Jiangnan sighed emotionally. "An enviable love!"

Xia Yao pouted and bumped Jiangnan with her shoulder. "Look at the big guy! You should learn from him a bit!"

Jiangnan grinned. "You want to eat broccoli too, huh?"

Xia Yao: (≖‸≖๐)
