Chapter 297 Return 3
Jiang Li snuggled closer to Ye Jingmo in bed, burying her face in his chest, her messy hair falling across her face.
Ye Jingmo slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils momentarily lost in thought. Feeling the weight on his chest, he gradually came back to his senses.
Ye Jingmo pursed his lips, gave a helpless smile, put his arm around Jiang Li's waist, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Li, it's time to get up. We still have to go to the military headquarters today."
Jiang Li, like a baby sloth, hugged Ye Jingmo and rubbed her face against his chest, saying in a muffled voice, "Let me sleep a little longer, I'll get up soon..."
The sound grew softer and softer until it was almost completely ignored.
Ye Jingmo gently but forcefully lifted the blanket and picked Jiang Li up in his arms.
Suddenly leaving the warm bed, Jiang Li couldn't help but shiver, slowly waking up as Ye Jingmo moved around.
Inside the bathroom, the pristine white mirror reflected the two people's images.
Jiang Li nestled in the crook of Ye Jingmo's neck, her hazy eyes staring blankly ahead, her delicate face bearing the red marks of just waking up.
Ye Jingmo put Jiang Li down, letting her lean on him, and handed her a toothbrush with toothpaste already squeezed out.
Jiang Li mechanically brushed her teeth, and only when the cool water hit her face did she fully wake up.
As the two walked out of the bathroom, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Jingmo walked to the door, looked through the peephole at the people outside, and only opened the door after confirming that there was no problem.
Outside the door stood a young soldier in military uniform, about twenty years old.
"Hello, this is breakfast prepared for you by the base." The soldier smiled shyly and handed the food he had brought to Ye Jingmo.
"The battalion commander told me to tell you that there is a meeting at nine o'clock later, in the same room as before."
After saying that, the soldier bid farewell and left.
Ye Jingmo returned to the house with a bag of food. Jiang Li, who had been listening to the whole thing, came over to see what food the base had given them.
Pudding straightened up, its paws pawing at the chair.
Ye Jingmo took out five palm-sized buns from the bag. They were still steaming hot, and the soft outer skin could be pressed to leave a handprint.
Pudding's mouth watered at the smell.
Jiang Li looked at Pudding's greedy expression; he didn't look as imposing as he did outside at all, but rather like an innocent and adorable baby.
Besides the steamed buns, there were also three bottles of milk inside.
Jiang Li took out Pudding's dog bowl from her spatial storage, poured in dog food, and then mixed it in with a bottle of milk.
She put the bowl on the ground, but Pudding didn't move at all.
Jiang Li looked up in confusion and saw Pudding squatting beside Ye Jingmo's legs, its head held high as it looked at him.
Ye Jingmo took out a steamed bun, broke it in half, and threw it to Pudding.
Pudding jumped up and caught the bun, chewing it noisily while its tail wagged wildly behind it.
After finishing the pudding, Ye Jingmo wanted another piece, but Ye Jingmo shook his index finger, indicating his refusal.
Pudding regretfully walked to its dog bowl and started eating its dog food after realizing that Ye Jingmo would not give it any more buns.
Jiang Li sat at the dining table, looking at Pudding, who already weighed over ten kilograms, and sighed softly, "Brother Mo, do you think anyone can afford to feed Pudding, who's so greedy?"
“Outside, people wouldn’t be able to afford to raise it; they’d be thinking about how to eat it.”
As Ye Jingmo answered Jiang Li's question, he handed her the steamed bun.
