Chapter 25 [001] Sister's New Clothes
Qin Jiandan had a nightmare about going to Wushan with a policewoman.
"Since you dare to cheat, you are ready to be killed by me, right?"
"One more shot! One more! One more! One more! We'll finish them all!"
Qin Jiandan woke up in a cold sweat, and the bed sheets were wet.
Last night, the young master of the Night Dragon Society was still sleeping on the second underground floor, above the intelligence department on the third underground floor, which is roughly equivalent to the location of my sister's guard room.
Hu Chi once suggested that the headquarters should be equipped with a special residence for the young master, which would make it appear more imposing...but the master did not agree.
"It's good enough that he doesn't sleep dead in the mud every night! Even if he sleeps on a 200-square-meter bed, he will still be assassinated. What's important is safety!"
Qin Jiandan agreed with his master. His own safety was secondary. Sleeping above the Intelligence Department could ensure his sister's safety.
Three days had passed since the Luoying Group's rebellion, and the minor injuries on his body had all healed. Qin Jiandan had an advantage in that he was tough, which was related to the fact that he had been beaten by his master since he was a child.
"Linlin, are you up? I'll come in if you're dressed."
Linlin responded vaguely, and Qin Jiandan opened the door of the intelligence department's monitoring room. The monitoring room had no windows, and the lighting on the ceiling was intentionally dimmed. Linlin said that she could concentrate more easily in a dim place.
In order to check the real-time monitoring, Linlin often stays up late in front of 9 monitors, but she doesn't get up late. Usually, Linlin will take a nap. It is said that this is the "Da Vinci rest method" of the Earth era, which can greatly improve work efficiency.
At this time, Linlin was lying on the sofa, eating a bun slowly. She must have taken it out of the refrigerator and heated it in the microwave.
This should be a common scene, but...
Don't you wear that dazzling Kung Fu costume all year round? Why are you wearing a cheongsam today?
The short red cheongsam decorated with gold embroidery revealed a pair of white legs and bare feet.
"Yes, the president gave it to me yesterday. He said it was to calm me down. He had a tailor make it beforehand."
"Master, he..."
The pure white under the cheongsam reflected the fluorescent light of the LCD screen, making Qin Jiandan not know where to put his eyes and unable to concentrate.
Linlin noticed her brother's embarrassment.
Linlin quickly finished the buns, trying her best to avoid getting oil on her face. She turned around and crawled two steps towards her brother on the sofa.
"W-what are you doing?"
The dazzling kung fu costumes of the past almost covered all the skin, but in comparison, this cheongsam was surprisingly revealing. When his sister crawled over, Qin Jiandan seemed to see some small animal shaking.
After the drone bomb incident, Master really took the opportunity to protect Linlin and brainwashed her! Why must I marry my sister? Although she is not my biological sister, we have been living together as siblings for so many years. The wedding night will be very awkward!
After crawling two steps, Linlin sat down cross-legged on the right side of the sofa and patted the empty space on her left.
"Brother, come and play cat's tangle with me."
The girl's slender fingers quickly held up the bright red rope, which was the same color as the cheongsam she was wearing.
Qin Jiandan had promised to play skipping rope with her sister. Although the atmosphere was a bit strange today, she still sat opposite her sister.
When they were homeless, they had trouble getting food, and couldn't afford to buy girl toys like dolls and bears. Catching strings was the only entertainment Linlin could do with local materials.
Linlin's starting red rope was relatively simple. Qin Jiandan took it skillfully and turned it into another shape.
Linlin took it again without thinking, and the shapes began to become more complicated.
Practice makes perfect. Qin Jiandan has been playing with his sister for many years. He took over again and changed the shape.
The brother and sister played for more than a dozen rounds, and it was inevitable that their fingers touched in the process, which is not a problem at all under normal circumstances.
But... Linlin, why are you sitting cross-legged? It was fine when you wore a full-coverage Kung Fu costume before, but now this cheongsam is so short, sitting cross-legged is not very elegant, it seems like it's about to be exposed!
Qin Jiandan wanted to remind his sister but felt it was inappropriate, so he had to rely on his feeling to jump through the ropes and turned his eyes to other directions.
The monitoring room was much cleaner than before. It seemed that Linlin had asked Aunt He to help her clean it.
Aunt He had long wanted to clean this monitoring room full of cables and dirt, but she was afraid of damaging the equipment and had never dared to do so. With Linlin by her side to guide her, it was said that Aunt He was very happy while cleaning - there really are people in the world who find joy in cleaning!
Linlin's personal hygiene has also improved. Now she wants to take three baths a day so that her brother upstairs can smell the scent of her shampoo.
"Brother, why don't you look at me? Does this cheongsam look good on me?"
"Good, beautiful." Qin Jiandan almost ruined the pattern when he took the red rope.
"…What do you think of me wearing this at my wedding?"
Wait, wait! The policewoman wants to divorce me every day, and now my sister is talking about marriage. What are you guys talking about? We need to change the subject quickly!
"Hmm," Qin Jiandan coughed lightly, "Linlin, you already know that Master is ill, right? Only you, me, Tiger Chi, and Doctor Li are the only ones in the guild who know about this. You must not tell anyone."
"I know. I'm very tight-lipped and won't say anything."
Linlin looked a little sad. If the master hadn't taken her in, who knows how long the siblings would have to pick up garbage to eat. When Linlin first heard about the master's illness, she might have cried in his arms.
"The president accepted me as his apprentice, and he said I could call him Master from now on."
"what?"
This is big news. Master has refused to accept female disciples for many years. How could he accept Linlin as his last disciple now?
Although it’s not good from my brother’s perspective, Linlin has an old injury on her left leg and can’t run or jump, so she’s really not a good candidate for martial arts training… “Master told me,” Linlin took the red rope from her brother but didn’t continue to do anything fancy, “as long as you and I inherit the guild and finish what the older generation didn’t finish, he…he’ll die with his eyes closed.”
The master is obsessed with defeating the Ni'an Society and allowing the Night Dragon Society to unify the outer city. If there is a chance, he will even challenge the company together.
Qin Jiandan agreed with his master's ideals. The Ni'an Society and the company were indeed rubbish, but...
The statement of inheriting the guild with my sister is full of mystery! Master, you accepted Linlin as your disciple not to teach him martial arts, right? Letting Linlin call you "Master" is from my perspective, right? "Master" is secondary, the main thing is "father"!
This is clearly the routine of children changing their words to each other's parents after marriage! Master, you always fight openly with others, why do you have to be so petty in this place? You hope that after I get married, Linlin and I will inherit the Night Dragon Society together, and we will fly together like a pair!
Brainwashing Linlin and then giving her a custom-made cheongsam is just the beginning. Who knows what weird things will happen in the future.
Fortunately, Linlin woke up late in matters between men and women. Even if someone taught her step by step, she would often fall back into the logical thinking of a hacker and the inherent way of thinking of a sister.
Linlin put away the red string and stopped playing cat's tangle. Her expression became serious.
"Brother, the invincible master is sick. You always drink beer and fried chicken. You will die if you keep eating unhealthy food!"
Ah, this is the familiar nagging from my sister. Although it usually hurts my ears to hear it, today it is simply the sound of nature!
"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Jiandan waved his hand carelessly, "I'm strong and healthy. Fighting every day will consume my energy quickly. I won't have a beer belly."
Linlin reached out to pinch Qin Jiandan's abdominal muscles, and Qin Jiandan generously let her pinch. There was almost no fat on the abdomen, so it was hard to pinch it.
"You can't live without a beer belly." Linlin said, "Start by limiting the amount of beer. Don't drink the beer in the refrigerator from now on, brother. You drink it every time you go to a fried chicken shop anyway, right?"
There is a small refrigerator in the monitoring room, which mainly contains Linlin’s frozen buns, leftovers and Qin Jiandan’s beer.
Refrigerators were not rare items and could be found by picking up old ones thrown away by people in the inner city, but the phlogiston batteries used in refrigerators had to be purchased by oneself, which became a considerable expense over time.
There are no power supply lines in the entire Huanshi City, and all electrical appliances are powered by phlogiston batteries. Since phlogiston ash is toxic, filter graphite must be installed inside the battery, which increases the cost.
"But there's no refrigerator in the security room upstairs!" Qin Jiandan expressed his dissatisfaction with his sister's monopoly of the refrigerator. "What should I do if I suddenly want to drink beer at home?"
"Then hold back and don't drink!" Linlin put her hands on the sofa and leaned forward, causing the tremor that distracted Qin Jiandan to reappear.
Is she not wearing anything underneath... Master, you are an 80-year-old virgin, please don’t teach your granddaughter such useless things!
Or, is this what Aunt He told Linlin? I didn't realize that you are an old hand in the love field! It must be to avenge me for throwing away the fried chicken wrapper, so Aunt He acted as my sister's military advisor and made me pay a heavy price for violating my brother's position!
No, we can’t stay here any longer. Linlin wants to replace the beer with something more stimulating... The best thing to do is to leave!
Qin Jiandan stood up from the sofa.
"Linlin, I haven't had breakfast yet. I have a staff meeting at 9 o'clock, and I have to say hello to Tiger Chi and Master in advance. I'm going to leave first."
Unexpectedly, before he took a step out, Linlin reached out and hooked his belt from behind. The position and timing were quite clever.
Master, you didn't really teach Linlin some grappling techniques, did you? Or were you just familiar with her brother's daily movements?
"Brother, I checked Sheriff Mu Yue's electronic ID card. You two didn't get a divorce, right?"
Linlin used to call him "brother" and "old brother" together, but recently Qin Jiandan discovered that when Linlin called him "old brother", she was acting as a younger sister, but when she called him "brother", her identity was a little unclear...
Qin Jiandan: "This is just a data error, it has no practical significance."
Using her brother's belt as a handrail, Linlin walked down the sofa barefoot. It was not a big deal because the floor was swept clean. Qin Jiandan's pants were almost pulled off.
Linlin: "Why is it meaningless? Sheriff Mu Yue was mistakenly registered as married, so she can't marry someone else!"
Qin Jiandan wanted to complain: Isn't it you who caused Sheriff Mu Yue to be like this? Why don't you have the consciousness of being the perpetrator at all, but instead you seem to be speaking up for Sheriff Mu Yue with a clear conscience?
"That's not a big deal," Qin Jiandan said, "Inspector Mu Yue is busy with work and doesn't have any potential marriage partners."
"Don't, don't think that I didn't notice how happy you were, brother! Since Chief Inspector Mu Yue can't marry anyone else, he can only remarry you to refresh the data, right? You two have ended up together after all these interactions!"
Qin Jiandan: "Since you have already gotten down from the sofa, loosen my belt first!"
Linlin pulled her fingers away from behind her belt and covered the lower half of her face with her hands as if she had been hurt.
"Brother, don't you care about my leg injury anymore? You used to let me hold you up without complaint..."
"You've never held my belt before! You almost ripped my pants off!"
Besides, she was wearing this cheongsam... Aunt He didn't tell you to tear off my pants first and then pretend to fall down so that I had to help her, right? Damn Aunt He, I'll throw fried chicken wrappers again tonight!
Judging from Linlin's reaction, she seemed about to cry again. Qin Jiandan was most afraid of his sister crying.
"Anyway," Linlin sniffed, "Master said that men will change their hearts if they have women outside... You are going to the inner city to find the eldest daughter of the Han family today, right? You go, I can't go to the inner city, you guys can have a good time, I will pick up garbage to eat when I am hungry."
Hey, hey, hey, Master, what did you say to Linlin? What about "a man will change his mind if he has a woman outside", you sound like you are quite familiar with it... Master, haven't you been a virgin all your life?
At this moment, the most important task is to stop my sister's tears from falling.
Qin Jiandan held her sister's shoulders with both hands. Although the cheongsam fabric was very thin and the feel was very different from before, she didn't care much.
"Linlin, think it over, do you really want to marry me?"
After her brother made it clear, Linlin, who had been on the offensive, became shy. Her face turned red and she didn't dare to look her brother in the eye.
"me……"
"Linlin, you and I have been dependent on each other for so many years. You can't live without me, and I can't live without you, but I don't necessarily have to marry you, right?"
"You are still young, and you need to think carefully about the important things in life. Think about it carefully, is this your inner thought, or are you influenced by others?"
The girl in cheongsam with a bun-like hairdo has her hands hanging down and twisting above her knees, revealing her inner chaos and disorder.
"I'll come see you after the meeting. I won't go to the inner city unless I cheer you up today, don't worry."
After saying this, Qin Jiandan stepped onto the stairs leading to the upper floor.
