Chapter 246 Hard
Meanwhile, in a brightly lit detached villa in Yunqi Rose Garden, An Mingyuan and his son An You sat on the sofa in the living room, their brows furrowed, their faces increasingly grim.
"It's past one in the morning, and you still can't get through to your sister on the phone?" An Mingyuan paused, his hand holding the teacup still, his tone tinged with anger.
"Isn't this ridiculous! I think I've been spoiling her too much! Not coming home in the middle of New Year's Eve, what kind of behavior is that!"
An You was scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) with his head down when his finger suddenly stopped, his expression instantly changing. He quickly handed over his phone: "Dad, look, isn't that An Ke?"
An Mingyuan snatched the phone. The screen showed a video taken by the audience at West Lake. The girl standing next to Jiang Feng in the video was his beloved daughter, An Ke. The person standing next to her was Jiang Feng, the e-sports streamer they had previously investigated.
An Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But after he patiently watched the entire video and figured out the whole story, his heart, which had just settled down, instantly clenched again.
Tens of thousands of people crowded the lakeside, and the large-caliber Gatling guns that were almost ignited were flying everywhere. Balloons were floating overhead. If anything had gone wrong, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
He was both shocked and frightened. Looking at Jiang Feng in the video, who remained calm in the face of danger, first dissuading and collecting evidence before taking action to subdue the troublemakers, he felt a little more favorably disposed towards this young man.
At least he is responsible and knows his limits; he can be relied on in critical moments and didn't let Anke get into danger.
But this moment of satisfaction lasted only two seconds before the old father's anxiety surged back.
The "hero saves the damsel in distress" trope is incredibly effective on young girls. What if Anke gets carried away and...
"No matter what, what kind of behavior is it for a young lady to stay out all night instead of going home!"
An Mingyuan put his phone on the coffee table, his face darkening again: "That's too dangerous! Girls should always know how to respect themselves when they're out in public!"
"If we still can't get through, could you please ask Director Qin to check the ID registration?"
An Mingyuan's brows were furrowed deeply.
Seeing his father's furious expression, An You wore a constipated look that was hard to describe. After hesitating for a long time, he finally handed over his spare phone.
"Dad... seems... alright."
"Look..."
An Mingyuan frowned and took the phone. The screen showed An Ke's live stream.
The game screen had just finished clearing out the last group of enemies when I heard my daughter's familiar, excited, almost hoarse shouts, each one louder than the last:
"The last one! All cleared! Jiang Feng, you're amazing!"
"Wow! You got two hearts in your CEO's car?! Jiang Feng, you're a god!"
An Mingyuan watched the live stream and listened to his daughter's energetic shouts, falling into a long silence.
After all that fuss, it turns out that the streamer who had kept him on edge for half the night, instead of going home, spent the entire New Year's Eve playing games in a hotel with his precious, stunningly beautiful daughter.
He remained silent for a long time.
If I remember correctly, internet cafes also require ID cards, right?
…………
The joy of staying up all night is real, but the deep-seated exhaustion that follows is also real.
Three people worked through the night on top-secret space exploration projects, resulting in an unusually high evacuation rate.
It wasn't until six in the morning, when the sky outside the window was already beginning to lighten and the New Year's Eve fireworks had faded, that the city of Hangzhou welcomed the first rays of dawn in 2025, before the group finally logged off.
At this time, the university dormitories should be opening soon.
Jiang Feng hailed a private car, and the three of them got in one after the other, all sitting in the back seat without any hesitation. Jiang Feng was squeezed into the middle.
Despite staying up all night, he still had plenty of energy, given his physical condition.
But the two girls beside me couldn't resist. Not long after the car started moving, drowsiness washed over them like a tidal wave.
The car swayed slightly, and An Ke couldn't take it anymore. She tilted her head and leaned against Jiang Feng's right shoulder without any warning. Her long eyelashes drooped down, and her breathing instantly became even and long, with warm breath gently brushing against Jiang Feng's neck.
Almost at the same time, Fang Ningxue beside him also gently closed her eyes, her head slowly resting on his left shoulder. The movement was as light as a feather, yet carried a real weight, quiet and dependent.
Two warm bodies nestled against him, one on each side. The girl's unique, faint fragrance lingered around his nose, and her warm breaths brushed against his neck, bringing a slight tickle.
Jiang Feng's body stiffened instantly, and he even subconsciously softened his breathing.
It's morning!
Morning!
Damn it!
The young man's hormones, which were still raging even after staying up all night, were already pushed to an extremely high threshold by his superhuman physique. At this moment, the soft touch on his shoulder, the warm, moist breath on his neck, and the sweet fragrance lingering around his nose triggered an uncontrollable physiological reaction.
"Driver, please speed up when we get on the elevated highway..."
And so, Jiang Feng persevered the whole way.
The car was first parked at the entrance of the residential area next to Zhejiang University of Media and Communications.
Jiang Feng gently nudged An Ke's shoulder, trying to wake her up, when he saw the little girl wrinkle her nose and snuggle closer to him, showing no sign of waking up. She mumbled sleepily, "Don't steal my big red."
Jiang Feng: "..."
He lowered his voice helplessly: "Which apartment do you live in?"
"Building 5, Unit 3, Room 1305".
Anke kept her eyes closed, her voice soft, but she recited the address clearly.
Jiang Feng: "..."
He looked down at Anke, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and finally sighed helplessly. He then bent down and carefully picked her up in his arms.
The girl's body was light and soft, like a ball of cotton. She instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, her cheek pressed against his chest. Her warm breath seeped through his thin hoodie, making his heart skip a beat.
Jiang Feng carried him all the way to the entrance of room 1305, then bowed his head and called out again:
"Anke, we're home."
An Ke groggily reached out her hand, her fingertips touching the fingerprint lock. With a "beep," the door unlocked. Her hand fell limp, and she immediately snuggled back into Jiang Feng's arms, even snuggling closer to him for a more comfortable position.
Jiang Feng had no choice but to carry her inside, gently push open An Ke's bedroom door, carefully place her on the soft bed, pull the blanket over her, and tuck the corners of the blanket in carefully.
After confirming that she was sleeping soundly, Jiang Feng quietly slipped out. The moment he closed the door, An Ke, who had been sleeping with her eyes closed, suddenly fluttered her eyelashes and quietly opened her eyes.
The car started again and came to a steady stop a few minutes later in front of the girls' dormitory at Zhejiang University of Commerce.
Jiang Feng woke Fang Ningxue up and watched her blush as she thanked him softly and ran into the dormitory building. He only breathed a sigh of relief when her figure completely disappeared into the corridor.
My tense nerves finally relaxed, but the uncontrollable heat lingered.
He raised his hand to wipe his face and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
This New Year's Eve and all-nighter was even more tiring than when he was fighting ten people at the space base.
When Jiang Feng tiptoed back to his dormitory, it was already past seven in the morning.
His three roommates had just woken up and were curled up in bed scrolling through their phones when they saw him push the door open and immediately sat up straight, their eyes wide with surprise.
"Holy crap! Fengzi, you're finally back! Was it really you who caused that incident at West Lake last night?!"
"Wow, Fengzi! The best escort in Hangzhou! This is absolutely phenomenal!"
Chen Yulin then sang in a strange, off-key tone: "You smell of her perfume on you~"
Jiang Feng wasn't in the mood for banter with them. He twitched his lips and made a shushing gesture.
"I'm a little tired. I just want to sleep now. We can talk about it when I get up."
He had stayed up all night and endured the journey, and now all the exhaustion finally overwhelmed him. He waved his hand, then collapsed into his bed, pulled the blanket over his head, and went to sleep.
He slept soundly, completely unaware of the monstrous waves raging outside.
