Chapter 472: 0.05 [Extra] Spending Christmas And New Year Together (6)

Sixth World. Cao Junye x Ximen Xueya + Ximen Chino, w.a.n.g Lei x Lou Lan.

This is the first time they would be celebrating Christmas and new year together as a family. After all, last year, Ximen Xueya and his husband Cao Junye fought and separated for a few months during the Apocalypse. The Apocalypse had begun on the day of Christmas, destroying the usual festive surroundings to turn into a progression of the land of the dead.

It's been a while since the Apocalypse era ended. Though there are still zombies, mutated plants, and animals in the forest area and ruin sites, the strongest in the food had once again become the humans.

Under the leaders.h.i.+p of Cao Junye, they had started the purge of clearing up the zombies in human cities under the command of his OCDic wife. His wife hates dirt and dust the most, he also hated zombies that he rarely left their mountain to hunt. So Cao Junye had no other choice but to clear up the zombies around their territories with w.a.n.g Lei and the rest.

It took another whole year before human civilization slowly returned to how it was before but this time the ones in lead are those with strength or a powerful ability holder instead of politicians like before the world ended. Under the command of Cao Junye and Ximen Xueya, the humans start rebuilding villages and cities.

Last Christmas the whole earth had to celebrate together with everyone. They no longer need to fear the zombies and the ordinary people no need to hide in fear for their lives. Everyone had shared a huge cast they had gathered with each family's part to share and drink wine on the open road without caring for their lives.

They were only able to do this because the Ximen Family had brought out a special type of invention that allows a city or a village to be covered in a film of barriers. This barrier prevents the entrance of zombies and mutated beings and only those who were registered in that village can freely enter and go out of such a mystical barrier.

As if the Apocalypse had ended, the humans partied all night by the road or in their houses. They drink wine as they wish, and eat food as they want. They even started using loud music to party and dance. Some people are singing. They had nothing to fear as the barrier itself had soundproof effects from the inside. No zombies would be attracted to whatever noise they made.

In the second year of the apocalypse era, humans were finally able to celebrate holidays without fear from those man-eating creatures. On the night of Christmas, drunk men were found sleeping on the road hugging some wine bottles and barrels. Children running around playing and females gossiping joyously.

TSK!

Cao Junye saw these people sleeping on the road on his way to his office. With a stern expression on his face as he stares down on these unconscious men intoxicated with wine and food, w.a.n.g Lei and the other soldiers under his command couldn't help but cover their faces. After all, some of the sleeping men on the road were their comrades who drank too much late-night and forgot that they had work early the morning after Christmas Day.

w.a.n.g Lei reluctantly approached his boss and said,

"B-Boss... M-Marshal... This... Hehehe~ well we can wake them up for you..."

"No need. Let's have a holiday for today and resume work tomorrow. Moreover, make preparations for New Year instead. My wife said you must look for fireworks or make them before the new year. Our Chino wanted to see some for the new year. Get them a mission to look for some fireworks if they want to attend the New Years' feast at home."

said Cao Junye who pressed on his aching temple before turning back to go home and spend more time with his wife and husband.

"Okay. I will leave it to you. I will return home to play with my wife and son."

"Yes. Marshal!"

w.a.n.g Lei and the Soldiers saluted to their boss who was leaving to go home.

Later when the big boss had left the others had a helpless expression on their faces. Because these idiotic friends of their they suddenly received an urgent mission and they only have at most six days to find fireworks for the young master.

"General w.a.n.g, what should we do? Are we really going out of the territory to look for fireworks?"

asked a soldier.

w.a.n.g Lei sighed,

"Wake them up. Feed them sobering soup and then tell them about the mission. We will leave tomorrow as soon as possible. Complete the necessary preparation and meet me at the entrance in the morning. Since today is a special holiday from the boss, enjoy it with your families, friends, and lovers. Don't forget to wake up the people on the road and clear up the s.p.a.ce."

"Understood, General w.a.n.g."

saluted the soldiers.

w.a.n.g Lei also left to look for his lover and spend this holiday with him. He could still hear Lou Lan's pouting expression after he told him that he had work today and wouldn't be able to accompany him. Thankfully the boss misses his wife and son so much that he used their drunk men as an excuse to give a holiday.

At the huge mansion on the top of the mountain, Ximen Xueya and Ximen Chino are in the kitchen making small snacks to give to the children who lost their families in the Apocalypse. There are lots of children who have lost their families because of the disaster. Ximen Chino loves playing with these children asking his daddy to make some dessert he could share with them for Christmas.

Ximen Xueya agreed and pulled his friend Lou Lan plus their old butler to help him with him. Of course, Ximen Chino is there helping with packing as well. They decided to make various flavored cookies, macaroons, and cupcakes.

In the kitchen four human figures, three big and one small were wearing ap.r.o.ns on their bodies. Ximen Xueya is stirring some melted chocolate in a huge pot. The butler was kneading the dough, Lou Lan was shaping the cookies, preparing the trays for the cookies, cupcakes, and macarons. Beside him is Ximen Chino helping with putting some toppings like choco chips, marshmallows, and dried fruits. They were working together to finish everything that enforces the sun's falls.

Ximen Chino spoke,

"Daddy, daddy look at these cookies. Chino made it. It looks like Daddy, Father, and Chino."

He was pointing at human-shaped cookies he was designing for his own consumption.

The child's cheerful voice made the surroundings and the atmosphere in the kitchen joyous and festive.

Ximen Xueya turned off the fire on the pot and placed it on the table far from his baby. He smiled and looked at the uncooked cookie dough. Though it doesn't look totally like their faces, the two big figures are holding on to the hand of the small figure. Their hands were connected and smiling.

"It looks great, my baby. Good Job. Show it to your father when he gets home from work later."

said Ximen Xueya as he kissed his son's chubby cheeks. There is some floor on Ximen Chino's face which his daddy gently wipes for him. While doing so the little baby was giggling.

Ximen Chino chuckles,

"Daddy that tickles~ kyahaha~"

Lou Lan mumbled,

"So jealous~ I also want a baby~ Xueya~"

"No use calling me. Go call your lover to make one~"

said Ximen Xueya.

Ximen Chino asked innocently,

"Daddy how to make a baby? Does Uncle Lan know how to? Daddy... Daddy! Chino wants a brother or a sister!"

Silence~

Hearing what their young master had just declared, the old butler and Lou Lan had opened mouths enough to fit an egg as they looked at Ximen Xueya who was also rendered speechless like them. But unlike the two of them, his expression is calm only his eyes showed astonishment which instantly disappeared.

"Xiao Jing, daddy cannot give birth in this world. Moreover to give you a sibling you must ask your father to work hard on it. Daddy can't do it alone."

said Ximen Xueya explaining properly to his darling son.

"Buh~ which world can Daddy give me siblings then?"

asked Ximen Chino his curious expression left his own daddy unable not to answer his question. He knew that the boy was serious about asking about this topic.

Ximen Xueya and his speechless state,

"This..."

Pfft~

The conversation between the two confused the old butler but chose to keep his mouth shut. Meanwhile, Lou Lan who knew about their real ident.i.ty could almost not hold back his laughs.

Ximen Xueya decides to pa.s.s the black pot to his husband who is not with them. "About this, you can only ask your father for an answer."

Just when Ximen Xueya thought he had successfully pa.s.sed the black pot, a familiar low and deep voice was heard from the direction of the kitchen door.

"Ask about what?"

asked Cao Junye who arrived home and found his family gathering in the kitchen. He didn't hear what his son had asked his daddy but only heard what his wife had told their son about telling it to him.

"My Lord!"

called the Old Butler. He swiftly removes his ap.r.o.n and wipes his hands. Only after he is clean, if anything, does he take his lord's coat to be hanged somewhere.

After removing his coat, Cao Junye pulled up the sleeves of his clothes and walked towards his dumbfounded wife and excited son.

Ximen Xueya asked,

"Why are you here? Don't you have work?"

Cao Junye carried his son, ignoring the flour messing his clothes, and kissed his son's cheeks and wife's lips.

"Gave a holiday. The soldiers drank too much last night and were all sleeping and wasted on the road. I gave them an extended holiday for the whole day today."

"Father. Father, Chino wants to have a baby brother or sister! Daddy says to ask father for it."

said Ximen Chino, who was in the arms of his father.

HAHAHA~

Cao Junye laughed at his adorable son and pinched his son's chubby cheeks.

"Little rascal. You, Daddy, can't give you siblings in this world. In this world, men cannot give birth. Plus when we had you... It was unexpected after all it was hard for both daddy and father to make you. Don't you know how very happy we were when we got you? You are a fruit of our love and a miracle given to us. So if Xiao Jing wants to have a sibling we are only waiting for it. Don't worry father would have to plow the seeds!"

said Cao Junye who received a hit on his back from his wife.

PAK!

"What the h.e.l.l are you telling the child!?"

exclaimed Ximen Xueya.

"Come one, Baby. I'm joking..."

said Cao Junye with a roguish smile on his lips.

Hmp!

Ximen Xueya's face was tinted with red as he glared at his husband but his current expression only made Cao Junye's desires spark. He lightly lips his lips and covered his son's eyes with his left hand. He used his right hand to pull his wife over and deeply kissed his lips.

"Wu~"

The feeling of his lips being pried open startled Xueya but in the end welcomed the entrance of that soft tongue. Their tongues entangled until Xueya pushed him away with tears in the corner of his swollen lips glaring at his husband.

"YOU!?"

"Merry Christmas, Baby~"

Cao Junye kissed his wife's nose and whispered,

"I will do my best tonight~"

"Father, Daddy~ Merry Christmas~"

followed after his father.

Xueya smiled at his son and greeted him, "Merry Christmas to you too our baby~" He is ignoring his rascal of a husband of his.

"Baby~ how about this husband?"

"Shut up and go change your clothes. We are going to the orphanage after this!"

said Ximen Xueya.

"Yes, sir~,"

said Cao Junye who left the kitchen with his son to shower and change their clothes. The cookies would be done after a few hours and they would be able to share the joy of Christmas with the other children at the end of the world.

The next part would be welcoming the New Year....
