Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Page 22

Mai Xiaowen: Wow! I absolutely adore Hao Hao's comforting words! Let's get married! Let's get married right now!

After waiting for Roy to perform a series of actions that Zhang Hao couldn't understand, Mai Xiaowen felt a little better. All she wanted now was to get better quickly, hug her beloved Xiao Hao, run to her room, and have a good night's sleep, forgetting everything that happened in her dream.

After experiencing this incident, Mai Xiaowen realized her own weakness. This was just because she almost wiped out Reis. What if she really had to fight the Hafk Group later, or if that dream became a reality?

Mai Xiaowen started daydreaming again, feeling dizzy and confused. She decided to start researching new weapons. Simply gathering information on the battlefield was no longer enough. Luna's electric arrows were more powerful than her data throwing knives, so Mai Xiaowen decided to develop a melee weapon with considerable destructive power.

"Xiaohao, is Xiaowen awake? Shenlan wants you to have dinner."

At this moment, Wei Long, holding his stomach, slowly walked in. Seeing that Mai Xiaowen, who was lying on the bed, had also woken up, he quickly went over and said:

"Xiaowen, you're awake? How are you feeling? Does Roy have any more medicine? I'll go to the China Military Region to apply for some."

Roy waved his hand.

"Look at these two idiots. Tomorrow, have Zhang Hao prepare a special meal for her, and give that dish a meaningful name. This thing will be soaring to the heavens faster than you are, and I'm telling you, you're still worrying about this while clutching your stomach."

Roy rolled his eyes at Wei Long and impatiently began to see the guest out.

"Go, go, go. You and Weilong, get out of here. Damn it, finish your meal and come over here to take over your shift. Oh, and remember to save me some turtle, okay? I need to replenish my energy."

After patting Mai Xiaowen's head, Zhang Hao followed Weilong to the dining table for dinner. He decided to bring Shenlan to visit Mai Xiaowen later, as he was very concerned about her condition.

Throughout the GTI, Deep Blue played the role of a loving father. He would promptly notice and guide people when they had psychological problems, and he also took on the tasks of cooking and cleaning all by himself.

Uluru often jokes that Deep Blue is an old Soviet political commissar. He's like this in the Special Operations Department, but when he's on the battlefield, he'll probably be like in the old videos, grabbing that big shield and charging forward. But every time, Deep Blue just smiles and says that he's getting old and now all he wants to do is "protect".

The two arrived at the dining table, and everyone was seated. Zhang Hao ran over to Shen Lan and tugged at his sleeve.

"Uncle Shenlan, Xiaowen just woke up. Let's go see her later. We can leave the dishes and such to Roy later."

Roy: Achoo, huh? I have a bad feeling. I feel like something's watching me.

When Shen Lan heard that Mai Xiaowen had woken up, she nodded. Before Zhang Hao came to the Special Operations Department, Mai Xiaowen was the youngest among them, and Shen Lan and the others had given her a lot of care. Shen Lan had also been very concerned about Mai Xiaowen's injuries.

"Wow, is today's food this tough? Hahaha, looks like I need to go get a glass of [Barrel Uluru] to celebrate."

Uluru stared at the large bowl of turtles placed in front of Zhang Hao and Weilong, his mouth watering uncontrollably. Just as he was about to reach for his wine in the refrigerator, Shenlan and Honglang both spoke up to stop him:

"Alright, this isn't for you. This is specially for Xiaohao and Weilong to nourish their bodies. Isn't there a bowl of green vegetables in front of you? Hurry up and eat your meal."

Uluru looked at the pot of vegetables in front of him in disbelief. "You two, Red Wolf and Deep Blue, you weren't like this when you asked me for wine before. Now that you don't need me anymore, you just throw me away. Pah! I won't give you any more wine next time."

"It's alright, Uncle Shenlan, let's all eat together. I'm too small to finish a whole turtle. Just leave two pieces of meat for Roy at the end."

Zhang Hao quickly invited everyone to try the turtle. He wouldn't eat alone. After all, back in the day, he thought no one would buy a chicken to eat in the dorm, but those three bastards came back after he'd only taken two bites. The scene was awkward for a few seconds, then it turned into chaos.

"Waaaaah, Xiao Hao, you're so sweet! If I were a girl, I'd fall in love with you!"

After Uluru finished speaking, he couldn't wait to launch an attack on the turtle with his chopsticks. Amidst the noise and commotion, everyone finished their dinner.

Wei Long: I'm not talking, I'm just eating. Only a complete idiot would talk and eat at the same time. (*￣3￣)╭

After dinner, Shen Lan followed Zhang Hao to the medical room to relieve Roy. Roy, who was about to lash out, saw Shen Lan following behind Zhang Hao and swallowed his words, silently moving to the door to go eat.

"Roy, remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating!"

At that moment, Zhang Hao's voice came from behind Roy, and Roy couldn't hold back any longer when he heard this.

"You little brat, just you wait. You better not fall into my hands, or else..."

Just as Roy was frantically attacking Zhang Hao, Deep Blue turned around and stared intently at Roy with his blue eyes. Instantly, Roy, whose mouth was like a Gatling gun, shut up.

"Hey, just kidding, I'm going to wash the dishes now!"

The two sat down next to Mai Xiaowen, gently comforting her and telling her what had happened after she lost consciousness.

Around 9 o'clock, Shen Lan suggested leaving first. He wanted to see if they had received any substantial compensation from above. If not, well, then they could see if they could withstand the pressure from China.

"Little Hao Hao, I'm a little sleepy. Can you hold my hand and stay with me until I fall asleep?"

Mai Xiaowen's eyelids began to feel heavy, and she grasped Zhang Hao's hand, pleading.

"Don't worry, Xiaowen, I'm always here for you."

"Really? Then can you give your sister a kiss? That way, your sister can get a good night's sleep tonight."

After hearing Mai Xiaowen's words, Zhang Hao could only think to himself that Sister Xiaowen had watched too many web dramas; how could a kiss possibly lead to such a wonderful dream?

But since it was Xiaowen's request, he naturally couldn't let her down. Under Mai Xiaowen's expectant gaze, Zhang Hao gently leaned down and lightly touched Mai Xiaowen's face.

Mai Xiaowen: Hmph, Luna, what do you have to compare with me? You're just a little one, hahahahaha.

(●ˇ?ˇ●)

Goodnight! ×2

(I've seen quite a few people in the comments saying that the second personality of [Zero] has some problematic aspects. I'll try to figure out how to write it in a way that satisfies more people. If you have any ideas, please share them. I'll read the comments. Thank you.)

Chapter 45 Mai Xiaowen, on the verge of social death

Zhang Hao held Mai Xiaowen's hand the whole time. Mai Xiaowen was probably tired, because soon her breathing became steady.

Seeing that Mai Xiaowen was asleep, Zhang Hao didn't want to stay any longer for fear of disturbing her. But just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly realized that he couldn't pull his hand away; Mai Xiaowen was holding it tightly.

"Xiaowen? Are you asleep? If you are, please let go of my hand, okay?"

Zhang Hao whispered in Mai Xiaowen's ear, but Mai Xiaowen seemed to be really asleep, still in the same position, her hand still firmly holding Zhang Hao's hand.

Zhang Hao was also at a loss. What should he do? Should he force it out all at once? No, no, it wouldn't be good if he woke up Sister Xiaowen. How about I try to pull it out little by little?

So Zhang Hao kept their hands in the same position and tried his best to pull them out little by little. Tick-tock, as time passed, Zhang Hao looked at the still tightly clenched hands and gave up struggling.

"Oh dear, maybe Xiaowen is just insecure. Well, as a man, I'll stay here with her tonight. It's not like it's the first time I've stayed up all night."

Thinking back to what happened that night at Dam Zero, Zhang Hao still felt somewhat helpless and fearful. Although lying between two beautiful women, smelling sweet, was indeed very enjoyable, the fact that he couldn't move or sleep all night had really tormented him.

. . . . . . . .

Mai Xiaowen was indeed not lying to Zhang Hao. After Zhang Hao kissed her cheek before going to sleep, she unsurprisingly had a wonderful dream that night.

"Xiaowen, would you marry me?"

In a high-rise building in Guangdong, China, Zhang Hao, who is 1.8 meters tall, is wearing a well-fitting black suit and holding 11 white roses in his hands. In the center of the roses is a very delicate gold ring.

"Oh, oh, oh! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!"

The GTI fans around her started cheering, and Roy, not wanting to miss out on the fun, pushed her forward, so she was next to the incredibly handsome Zhang Hao.

Mai Xiaowen was also wearing a pure white wedding dress with light makeup on her face. She had taken off the mask she wore every day during the Asara period. She looked at the big Zhang Hao in front of her, and her eyes were so wide that she didn't know how to describe it.

"I...I do!"

Mai Xiaowen happily embraced the man before her, and the two gazed at each other before kissing amidst the cheers of the crowd.

. . . . . . . .

"Hehehe, Mu~ Ma~, hehehe, Xiao Hao, you're finally mine."

Mai Xiaowen slowly opened her eyes with a smile and found that her hand was still being held. She was so moved that she almost cried.

But when she turned around, she found Luna looking at her with a suppressed laugh, holding a phone and recording a video, while her other hand was tightly clasped with hers.

"Holy crap, what are you doing here? Where's Xiao Hao? What are you still filming?"

After a night's rest, Mai Xiaowen's energy was greatly replenished. However, the person holding her hand was not her beloved Xiao Hao Hao, but rather the old woman Luna.

"Tsk tsk tsk, oh my god, I never expected you to be like this, you seem so normal usually, I never thought you were this kind of person behind my back. If my Xiao Hao falls into your hands, he's going to suffer!"

Luna didn't answer Mai Xiaowen's question right away. Instead, she showed Mai Xiaowen several videos that she had recorded earlier.

"Hmm, Hao Hao, come here a little closer. Mmm~ Mmm~, how was it? Isn't your older sister amazing? Stop standing there, hurry up and take off your clothes!"

"Mmm~ Honey~, we'll never be apart, right?"

"xxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxx. (forbidden words)"

After several videos finished playing, Luna smiled and looked at Mai Xiaowen, who was already somewhat lifeless on the bed, and said:

"You wouldn't want Xiaohao to see these videos, would you?"

Mai Xiaowen: ___*(￣ Pan￣)/#____

"Tell me first why you were the one holding my hand this morning, when Xiao Hao was clearly here with me last night."

"Alright, since you want to die knowing the truth, I'll grant your wish. By the way, you should thank me. I think it was after 11 o'clock yesterday, but I was the one who stayed with you the whole time."

Luna then recounted what had happened the previous night.

Originally, she only wanted to take advantage of Mai Xiaowen's injury while she was recovering, but Zhang Hao hadn't returned to his room by almost 11 o'clock. So, out of curiosity, Luna quietly went to the infirmary and happened to see Zhang Hao sitting there, looking troubled because he couldn't untie the knot.

"Xiao Hao, why aren't you asleep yet? It's so late."

As Luna walked towards him, Zhang Hao pointed to the hand that Mai Xiaowen was holding tightly.

"Why not just remove it directly?"

"No, that might wake up Sister Mai Xiaowen. She needs to rest now. You should go back to sleep, Sister Luna. Let me stay with Mai Xiaowen tonight."

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible little boy in front of her, Luna didn't show anything on her face, but she was already jealous. She couldn't let the two of them have such a good opportunity to develop their relationship, even if it meant making some sacrifices for herself.

"Xiao Hao, trust me. Just pull your hand out forcefully. I have a way to ensure that your sister Xiao Wen won't wake up. Just follow my instructions."

Zhang Hao looked at Luna with some suspicion. He was a little skeptical that Luna could have a way to make someone wake up and fall asleep again quickly.

"Okay, take off your clothes and give them to me first, then immediately pull your hand out."

"But now I can't take my hands off it."

"It doesn't matter, it's the same whether you pull it out first or take it off later."

So Zhang Hao, half-believing and half-doubting, forcefully pulled his hand out. Sure enough, after pulling his hand out, Mai Xiaowen immediately frowned and started making humming noises.

"Quick, take off your clothes and give them to me."

Just then, Luna quickly stepped forward to take Zhang Hao's place and held Mai Xiaowen's hand, then took the clothes Zhang Hao had taken off and placed them near Mai Xiaowen's nose.

At that moment, under Zhang Hao's shocked gaze, Mai Xiaowen sniffed Zhang Hao's clothes, buried her face in them, and her expression gradually calmed down.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on Hawthorn tonight. You should go back to sleep."

Luna smiled at Zhang Hao, signaling him to go back to sleep.

"What about you, Luna?"

"Oh, don't worry about me. You're still growing. Look, you've grown taller now. I used to stay up all night doing missions, so don't worry. Besides, before you arrived, Hazak was the darling of our Special Operations Department."

After Luna finished speaking, she waved to Zhang Hao. How could she possibly say that she would be jealous if she saw the two of them alone in a room for a whole night? That would ruin her facade in front of Xiao Hao.

So, starting last night, Mai Xiaowen held Luna's hand and slept until this morning.

Mai Xiaowen turned her head and saw Zhang Hao's white short-sleeved shirt placed next to her pillow.

"Damn it, can't you do anything right? You're such a grown man, yet you're so childish. Delete the video right now."

Mai Xiaowen still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but it was clear that Luna wasn't giving her any chance. She looked at Mai Xiaowen and said calmly:

"From now on, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights are mine, Tuesday and Thursday are yours, understand? Xiao Hao also needs to rest on weekends. I'll give you ten seconds to think about it, otherwise I'll send these videos to Xiao Hao, 10...9...8..."

"Hey, give me more time. And why should I have one less day? Can you even take good care of Xiao Hao?"

Unfortunately, Luna ignored Mai Xiaowen and continued counting down:

“5...4...3...2..."

"Damn it, I agree, I agree, okay? But I have a condition: we have to wait until Xiao Hao's injuries have fully healed before we start."

"Oh? The loser's powerless struggle, huh? Fine, I agree."

Seeing Luna's victorious expression, Mai Xiaowen was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. If she weren't physically weak, she would have gotten up and fought that old woman Luna.

Luna never expected that simply keeping watch for Xiao Hao would lead her to uncover so much dirt on Hazha.

Luna: This was a huge win for me. (=￣ω￣=)

Chapter 46 Getting what you want

Since Mai Xiaowen woke up around 7 a.m., Hong Lang and the others took turns checking on this young girl from the Special Operations Department as they prepared to go out on patrol. Seeing that Mai Xiaowen was in better spirits than the day before, they left with peace of mind.

Lying in bed, Mai Xiaowen could only eagerly wait for the white-haired boy she longed for to open the door, give her a big hug, and kiss her twice to recharge Xiao Hao Hao's energy. Unfortunately, Zhang Hao had also gone to bed late last night, and since there were no classes, Mai Xiaowen predicted she wouldn't see her precious Xiao Hao Hao until around 9 pm.

"Hey, the weather's nice today! How did you sleep last night? You look pretty good!"

Unfortunately, Zhang Hao didn't show up, but Luo Yi, that gossipy old man, did. He dragged over a stool with a grin and came over with a gossipy look on his face.
