Taking Chi-Chi Back

Jiang Ling leaned against the headboard, his arm around Bulma's slender waist. Her delicate, soft, and smooth skin was a pleasure he savored.

Bulma leaned against Jiang Ling's strong chest, feeling the powerful beat of his heart. A sense of peace washed over her for no reason.

"You're so amazing."

"I know. I can tell from your expression."

"Hmph, you're annoying."

Bulma shot him a playful glare with her beautiful eyes.

Her charming, mature allure bloomed like a flower's pistil in that instant.

Jiang Ling held her even tighter.

His gaze seemed as if he wanted to devour her.

Bulma grew a little nervous, her hands stopping him. "Ling, no, I can't get out of bed."

"Sigh~"

Jiang Ling sighed, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Sensing his disappointment, Bulma felt a pang of guilt.

And so...

The next day.

Jiang Ling was fully dressed.

He reached out and brushed through Bulma's blue hair, kissing her forehead.

Bulma's serene sleeping face had become even more radiant since Jiang Ling arrived.

He wasn't sure why.

Jiang Ling left the room, gently closing the door behind him.

He didn't go to find Trunks. Instead, he went alone to the Temple of the Gods.

He entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

He was going to train for another day, which would be a year inside.

In the future, various powerful enemies would appear. He had to seize this time to cultivate.

Of course, a balance between work and rest is essential.

Otherwise, just exercising blindly won't yield very good results.

Jiang Ling does this very well.

After this Android incident, there should be a period of peace.

The next crisis will be Babidi reviving Majin Buu.

However, with Trunks' strength, I believe he can handle it.

One day later.

Jiang Ling returned to the Underground Base.

Bulma was sitting in front of the computer, her fingers flying as she conducted research...

The light from the computer screen reflected on her serious face.

At this moment, Bulma lacked feminine tenderness but exuded the aura of a strong woman.

Seeing Jiang Ling, she smiled, her eyes soft.

Jiang Ling stepped forward and squeezed her shoulders.

He said softly, "My Bulma, is the Time Machine's energy fully charged?"

Bulma's fingers paused and then relaxed.

She sighed.

"Ling, do you really have to leave? Can't you stay and keep me company?"

It had to be said, the time since Jiang Ling arrived had been the happiest period of her life in many years.

Jiang Ling was silent for a moment, then smiled, "What are you talking about? I'm not saying I won't come back."

"Now that the Android crisis is resolved, imagine the future: I'll be in bed, and dinner will be in the pot, whatever you want."

Bulma's eyes were filled with tender affection.

"You know I have to go back. After all, you wouldn't want me to let down the younger you, right? Don't worry, I will return."

Jiang Ling held her in his arms and said gently.

"Mhm."

Bulma closed her eyes, savoring the tender moment.

She had figured it out.

She didn't expect Jiang Ling to stay by her side forever.

After all, the age difference was there.

She felt it was already a great fortune to have Jiang Ling.

Now, she only hoped that Jiang Ling could visit her occasionally.

At night.

Bulma indulged herself for a whole night.

The next day.

Jiang Ling went out.

He went to Mount Paozu.

He saw Chi-Chi had already packed.

She only brought one capsule.

Inside were some clothes and other items.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling understood her intentions.

"Have you decided?"

"Yes, I've decided. Instead of wasting time here, I'd rather go back to the past and be with him. Even if there's another me there."

"Then let's go."

In the ruins of West City.

Bulma was a little surprised to see Jiang Ling bring Chi-Chi over.

Jiang Ling explained briefly, and she understood.

She stepped forward and took Chi-Chi's hand.

"Chi-Chi, congratulations! Live well in the past, and don't dwell on sad memories."

"I will, Bulma. What about you, why aren't you going?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Me? What good would it do for me to go over there? Vegeta and I were only together for a year. It's been over a decade now, and any feelings are long gone."

Bulma watched Jiang Ling and Chi-Chi board the Time Machine.

A gentle breeze blew past.

Lightly swaying her clothes.

Jiang Ling smiled faintly at her through the transparent glass dome.

He waved and said loudly, "I'll be back."

Shua--

The Time Machine disappeared.

Bulma stood in place.

The breeze ruffled her blue hair tips.

Her red lips parted slightly.

"I'll wait for you."

Jiang Ling's original timeline.

Mount Paozu.

"Honestly, all you do all day is train. Don't you know you need to go out and earn money!"

"It's one thing for you to train Gohan, but how could you take away his study time!"

Chi-Chi yelled at Goku.

After Jiang Ling's guidance last time, she no longer opposed Gohan training, but this was only acceptable if his studies were maintained.

Now Goku was taking Gohan to train all day, leaving no time for studies, which was what truly angered her!

Goku scratched his head and explained, "Oh, Chi-Chi, isn't the situation special right now? It's just for a year. After a year, once we defeat the Androids, I'll let Gohan go back to studying."

Chi-Chi stomped her foot and took a deep breath.

She was truly exasperated with Goku.

Although Goku wouldn't argue with her, once he made up his mind, even ten horses couldn't pull him back.

She had no choice.

"Fine, fine, you're the father this time, do as you please. Take Gohan to hunt some beasts first, and chop some firewood, otherwise, there'll be no dinner."

Chi-Chi sighed and said.

"Alright!"

Goku grinned.

But at this moment.

He suddenly looked up at the sky.

His expression was serious!

Swish--

A machine appeared in the sky and slowly descended...

It was the Time Machine!

"Time Machine?" Goku muttered to himself, "How long has it been? Trunks is back again?"

Chi-Chi looked at the Time Machine, not knowing what it was.

Gohan also ran over.

Together, they looked at the Time Machine that had landed on the ground.

Clank.

In the gaze of the family, the Time Machine's glass cover opened.

Jiang Ling's head poked out.

"Hi, long time no see, hello everyone."

"Huh, it's Jiang Ling." Goku let out a breath and took a sip of water from his cup.

"Where's Trunks?"

Jiang Ling smiled, "He didn't come back."

As he spoke, he suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"Look what I brought!"

"What?"

The family of three looked confused.

Another head popped out of the Time Machine.

It was Future Chi-Chi, wearing a qipao, her hair tied up, with slight wrinkles on her face.

Goku exclaimed in surprise, "Huh!? Chi-Chi!?"

Gohan jumped, startled, "Two... two mothers!?"

Chi-Chi was shocked, lightly covering her slightly parted small mouth, "How can there be another me!?"

Future Chi-Chi looked at the familiar faces, and tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.

These were the faces she dreamed of seeing every single day!

Now she was finally seeing them, and they were standing alive before her. How could she not be overjoyed to tears?
