Transmigrated as the Domesticated Rabbit of the Sick and Frail Villain in the Apocalypse - CH 46.4
Jin Yang took Yin Yiliu’s little hand to the bathroom to wash her hands with soap, and then untied the two little buns on her head. In that instant, the little girl’s long and soft hair scattered on her shoulders.
He picked up the comb on the table and began brushing Yin Yiliu’s hair. As he combed her hair, he asked if he was hurting her head. He was very attentive to Yin Yiliu, paying attention to any subtle changes in the little girl.
When he noticed that Yin Yiliu could reach the innermost cup without tiptoeing, Jin Yang’s hand movements paused. He compared the little girl’s height to his own and discovered something.
Had Yin Yiliu grown taller?
He didn’t ask her. After leaving the bathroom, he asked Zhao Sihui.
Zhao Sihui frowned and recalled, “No way, Bunbun is still so small. She isn’t yet at the age where her growth in height would be obvious.”
Perhaps it was because Yin Yiliu had always been extraordinarily smart and mature, not at all like a child, that they subconsciously didn’t treat her as one.
Only Jin Yang would be extra careful and attentive to the little girl, picking at the bones as she ate and testing the temperature of the water as she drank.
When Zhao Sihui remembered that when she put on a coat for Yin Yiliu today, the little girl’s soft and slender wrists did show a little bit, Zhao Sihui’s originally certain words suddenly became uncertain.
She looked at Jin Yang. “I think she really did grow taller?”
When the little girl wiped her hair after taking a shower and ran out of the room with the little slippers on her feet, Jin Yang silently compared the top of her head with his own, and his face darkened.
Yin Yiliu had definitely grown taller, and not by a small margin.
He still remembered that the little girl was only a small ball in the beginning. When he held her in his arms, she was like a ball of snow. And when she stood, she had been so short that he could only see the top of her head. But now, she had clearly grown several centimeters taller.
Jin Yang was a little worried. Although he had never raised a child, wouldn’t this growth rate have an adverse effect on the body?
As he wiped Yin Yiliu’s head with a towel, he pondered in his heart but showed no sign of it on his face.
After everyone was free, Jin Yang told them about the meeting at the military base today.
When they heard that they needed to go support other cities, their first reaction was not worried about their own safety, but rather a little excited.
Especially Zhao Qiyang, who had been so suffocated at home for the past few days, that it was on the verge of killing him. He had long wanted to go out for a walk. He was so excited to learn that he could leave the city that he wanted to fly out of the city gate right away.
Jin Yang explained the importance and danger of this mission, and asked everyone to begin preparations in the next two days and be on standby at any time.
Although Yin Yiliu had a space, they weren’t by themselves this time. They would almost certainly have to fight alongside Niu Feihuang’s men and the evolved people from other bases. They had to be extra cautious with the storage space.
After the Zhao siblings repeatedly reassured Jin Yang that they would guard Yin Yiliu’s secret, Jin Yang took Yin Yiliu’s little hand in his and strolled into the yard.
The moon was full tonight, and the silver afterglow sprinkled in the yard, stretching Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang’s shadows.
Yin Yiliu already knew how her sockpuppet was exposed after asking Jin Yang, so when she saw the long shadows on the ground, she recalled the day Jin Yang found out about her sockpuppet.
The little girl stepped on the shadow behind Jin Yang with her short calves. When she jumped, her ears trembled, and she looked adorable.
She was amusing herself by stepping on Jin Yang’s shadow when she noticed him squatting. She turned around and found that Jin Yang was squatting under the tent, tinkering with something with a piece of wood and rope he had gotten from somewhere.
She walked over to have a look, only to find that the wooden board in Jin Yang’s hand was from the wooden stool at home. He used his evolved ability to drill the nails into both sides of the board with his hand. He had used so much force that the skin on both sides of his fingers turned red.
“What are you doing ya1?” Yin Yiliu shook her ears and watched Jin Yang working hard.
Jin Yang looked up at the little girl and gently asked, “Didn’t you say you like swings?”
He still remembered how Yin Yiliu looked like she hadn’t had enough fun when she got off the black wolf’s back today. She seemed to enjoy swinging very much. He thought that since it wasn’t too safe to swing on the wolf pup’s back. If the little girl really liked swings, he might as well just make her one.
So after scanning the house, he dismantled the wooden stool at home in the end.
There was an abandoned canopy tent in the yard. It might have been previously used as a shade or to farm livestock. Jin Yang jumped up, grabbed the roof of the tent, and did a few pull-ups. After confirming that the tent was sturdy enough, he decided to build the swing under it.
When Yin Yiliu heard that Jin Yang intended to build her a swing, she choked for a moment. Her heart was all fuzzy, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Honestly, apart from her parents, no one had ever treated her so well. Even her father wouldn’t build her a swing if she told him she liked swinging.
For a while, Yin Yiliu was at a loss for words.
She thought that she was here to redeem the villain Jin Yang, but at this point, she couldn’t tell who was the one giving warmth to the other person.
She pursed her little lips, trying to keep the flood of emotions in her heart at bay, and said quietly, “We’ll be leaving soon. Isn’t it a waste to build it now?”
Jin Yang had scraped some of his skin off both sides of his fingers when he successfully tied the hemp rope to the tent roof, but he stroked the little girl’s head as if he couldn’t feel the burning pain.
“Go ahead and try it.”
He didn’t think it’s a waste, and he didn’t think this was too much of a hassle.
As long as Yin Yiliu liked it and it made her happy, even if only for a moment, he felt that it was worth it.
After Yin Yiliu sat on the swing, Jin Yang asked her to grasp firmly on the rope, and his eyes were firmly locked on her body, fearful that the little girl would accidentally fall.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let go of my hands!”
Jin Yang slowly pushed Yin Yiliu at first. The wind blew through her long, soft hair, and she was giggling in front excitedly. She asked Jin Yang to push her higher.
“Push harder ya! Harder!”
Jin Yang was a little reluctant. He was afraid that the little fella would accidentally get hurt, but he still exerted a little more force, and the girl on the swing swayed her little feet.
The silver moonlight elongated the shadows of the two.
