CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 63: SUN MULIN’S INVITATION

But not seeing through doesn’t mean not understanding at all. When Ke Lian is at home, apart from training and managing military affairs, he spends all his remaining time with Du Xixi. Therefore, 2569 doesn’t think his master is the type to do housework.

It’s not that Ke Lian dislikes doing housework or that he can’t do it, but compared to training, managing military affairs, and accompanying Du Xixi, housework seems trivial. Plus, the Robot generally takes on the responsibility of cleaning, so even if Ke Lian wants to do it, he doesn’t need to.

Seeing Ke Lian, who doesn’t need to do housework, suddenly pick up a rag and start cleaning, how could 2569, who was using the vacuum to clean under the sofa, not be surprised? It lay there dumbfounded, starting to worry whether its housework duties might be taken over by Ke Lian.

Ke Lian’s hand paused while wiping the table corner; it seemed like he didn’t expect his body would act faster than his mind, grabbing the rag before he had given the proper command.

Ke Lian frowned slightly, looking at 2569, who was staring intently at him and the rag in his hand. He felt it might not be good to suddenly stop doing housework now, so he continued his actions, calmly saying, "Nothing to do today, so I’m doing some housework for a while, but it’s still your job in the future."

Ke Lian understands his housekeeper Robot’s temper best; when serious, it’s comparable to Rob, but when short-circuited, it can be more childish than a ten-year-old child.

2569’s first reaction upon seeing Ke Lian doing housework is definitely not that Ke Lian’s status is unsuitable for housework, but whether this job will be taken away by Ke Lian.

Ke Lian, whom 2569 couldn’t see through, understands 2569 very well.

Seeing 2569 finally relieved and continuing to use its mechanical hand to vacuum, Ke Lian also subtly let out a breath, continuing to wipe the already very clean table. After all, it was because he was too bored that Ke Lian decided to tidy up, treating it as a pastime.

Therefore, Ke Lian doesn’t move around to clean, but meticulously wipes the table, which was only slightly dirty, until it shines brightly, with a faint glaze allowing it to vaguely act as a mirror.

Around 3:30, Du Xixi wakes up from bed, following her usual biological clock, looking at the simulated sun slightly leaning west, feeling good. After grooming herself, she walks out of the room with a relaxed smile from sleeping well.

Miao Miao is still at the age of growing, so she sleeps longer than Du Xixi, usually coming down after four o’clock, so Du Xixi is in no hurry to wake her. She carefully holds the stair railing, slowly walking down.

Hearing the movement downstairs, Ke Lian quickly comes up, using his big hand to hold Du Xixi’s increasingly rounded waist. Seeing the small blush on her freshly woken face, he naturally smiles along with her, "Did you sleep well?"

Normally, it’s 2569 who comes up upon hearing movement, so Du Xixi is surprised to see Ke Lian and doesn’t answer immediately. She glances at the electronic clock on the wall before softly replying, "Pretty good. You’re getting off work now?"

In recent days, Ke Lian usually returns around 4:30, which is considered early. Previously, when he first returned to the Military Department for duties, coming home at six or seven was normal; the latest was once after working overtime until 8:30, when Du Xixi was already in bed preparing to sleep.

Now that the month is progressing and there’s nothing much to do at home, Du Xixi has been sleeping before nine, her life routine very regular.

3:30 appears to be the earliest time for Ke Lian’s off work in Du Xixi’s view.

Ke Lian, however, shakes his head with a smile, helping Du Xixi to sit on the sofa, then gently combing her slightly messy long hair, softly saying, "I got home around 2:30, and it’ll be about this time in the future too."

"Really!" Du Xixi doesn’t think Ke Lian would deceive her, so she is very happy, shaking Ke Lian’s big hand, "That’s great, with you at home, I won’t be bored."

For unknown reasons, Miao Miao has become increasingly well-behaved, but also talks less. Occasionally, after Du Xixi speaks for a long time, she only quietly listens and nods, making Du Xixi somewhat suspect if Miao Miao has some mental disorder like autism.

Du Xixi’s current health condition makes visiting the military hospital too exhausting, so she has 2569 find a reliable female Military Doctor to come over for Miao Miao’s checkup. Of course, Miao Miao’s cat ears and tail are hidden.
