I don't know when the sound of water in the shower stopped. Weicao, who was wearing thin pajamas, covered her top and walked carefully to Zhou Jinru. Her rosy face was still wet with moisture. Her long white hair was spread around her shoulders. Lock after lock.
"Your Highness?"
Drake's hard eyes softened and he whispered: "Zhou, can you help me?"
Zhou Jinru didn't know why.
"Comb my hair."
"no problem."
Zhou Jinru followed Wei Cao into the room. The girl took off her slippers in front of the door, stepped on the paved floor with her bare feet, and sat on a stool in front of the dressing mirror.
Picking up the comb next to the makeup box, Zhou Jinru slowly inserted the comb into Wei Cao's thick hair. With very gentle movements, he combed the girl's hair. Wei Cao's face in the mirror was red, with a hint of shyness.
"faster."
She felt her heart beat faster and her consciousness became blurry, which was something she had never experienced before.
Zhou Jinru thought of a word inexplicably and combed his eyebrows...
When he was in Rhode Island, he would occasionally help Amiya comb her hair. The little rabbit overslept and got up in a hurry, and ran into the office in a mess, as if something was chasing her.
Zhou Jinru had no choice but to take time to comb Amiya's hair and tie it into the simplest ponytail.
Therefore, when he was combing Wei Cao's hair, he remembered this scene. He moved a little faster and quickly completed Wei Cao's request. The silver-white and smooth hair hung down obediently, exuding a faint fragrance of shampoo.
"Your Highness, rest."
"Um."
It was not until half an hour later that Zhou Jinru lay down. Of course, he was not sleeping on the bed. Wei Cao said that either she would sleep on the bed and he would sleep on the floor, or vice versa. In short, they would never agree to sleep on the bed together.
Zhou Jinru no longer thinks about these things. When he lay down, he closed his eyes and tried to enter the dreamland. Until he fell asleep, he failed to enter the melodrama. It seemed that tonight's melodrama was over.
When he woke up, he found that it was already dawn and the time was past seven in the morning.
"I slept for five hours and the alarm didn't go off?"
The terminal is always on time, but something went wrong today. You don't have to think twice to know that it was Ming Yuexin who did it.
He asked: "Why don't you wake me up?"
"Doctor should rest more, it's still early anyway."
"It's past seven o'clock. Are you still here?"
Zhou Jinru struggled to get up, but Wei Cao was not on the bed. The big bed was empty, the quilts were folded neatly, and there were no questions on the sheets. It seemed that she had been up for a while.
"Your Highness?"
He tried asking.
Wei Cao's cold voice came from the living room: "I'm here."
Zhou Jinru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Wei Cao left overnight. In that case, they would have no fate and could only let it go.
When he walked into the living room, he noticed that Wei Cao looked quite tired. She must have had insomnia and didn't sleep well, so she just got up.
After washing up, a pot of vegetable stew was ready. It was steaming and must have been the work of reed grass. Zhou Jinru did not refuse. He generously ordered a bowl of soup and sat at the table to enjoy it.
"Your Highness, only by taking a good rest can you regain your energy."
Wei Cao was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "Yes."
She struggled for a long time and asked in a low voice: "When can you come back?"
"Maybe two hours, maybe in the afternoon, Your Highness, you can rest peacefully while I'm away."
Drake stared at Zhou Jinru without saying a word or making any unnecessary movements. She pursed her lips and said, "I can wait until you come back to rest."
Zhou Jinru was speechless and could only say, "I'll try my best."
He still had some things to deal with, so he left the apartment after breakfast and walked back to the hotel where he stayed in Rhode Island.
The rhythm of life in the East District is exactly the same as the previous few days. It was not affected by what happened last night. It may be that the common people do not care about what happened to the nobles.
It seems that yesterday's news was suppressed. The movement was not small at all, and steam mechas were even dispatched.
Zhou Jinru thought for a while and decided not to take the initiative to ask. If Yin Hui wanted to explain something, he would probably come to him.
…
…
"The doctor is back."
Anbier, who was squatting on the rooftop and watching from a distance, immediately noticed Zhou Jinru's figure and immediately informed the operators of the news. She vaguely discovered what should have happened last night. Although no one said it clearly, their nervous attitudes showed that they were sure. Something happened.
As a qualified spectator, Ambiel consciously sat in the corner of the hotel lobby with a small bench. There was an assorted snack on the small table in front of her, and she entered the state of watching the show.
The first person to express his feelings was Xing Xiong. The police inspector from Longmen stood guard at the door. When the doctor came in, she was the first to send greetings. She was as kind as the big sister who led the family.
interesting.
Ambiel tore open a bag of senbei cookies and waited patiently for the next episode.
"Sir Xing, what happened to you these days?"
Zhou Jinru looked at Xing Xiong and felt that there was something awkward about her today. He leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Sir Xing, do you have any advice?"
Xing Xiong mysteriously leaned into Zhou Jinru's ear and said in a solemn tone: "Doctor, Chen is not feeling right today. Please be careful."
What happened to Sir Chen? !
Zhou Jinru was full of doubts, shouldn't he be the one to take the initiative? After missing him for one night, did Sir Chen take a shot?
He stood at the door and looked around. He didn't find Sir Chen in the hotel lobby. He was probably still avoiding him as before. He would not see him if he could.
As a last resort, Zhou Jinru had no choice but to shamelessly ask: "Sir Xing, give me another hint. I wasn't here last night and didn't do anything."
Xing Xiong blinked: "It's just because you weren't here and your character didn't appear. Ah Chen...she's here."
Zhou Jinru was startled, and quickly turned around to look. At some point, Sir Chen had arrived very close to him, with an unkind expression on his face, and said coldly: "Doctor, I have a few words to say to you."
Xing Xiong gave Zhou Jinru a look that was asking for blessings, and left quickly without stopping for a moment.
"Sir Chen, is there anything you can't say here?"
Zhou Jinru felt a little guilty, because there was a Wei Cao in the apartment not far away. If Chen Sir was really his girlfriend, it wouldn't be too much to hold a knife to his neck now.
Chen emphasized: "It's a very important matter, Doctor."
The police officer with twin ponytails had a calm expression and a pair of sharp and bright eyes, forcing Zhou Jinru to agree to her request.
"Okay, where are we going?"
"Go to my room."
As soon as she finished speaking, Angelina appeared in the lobby, holding a document in her hand: "Doctor, there is a very important document here that needs to be processed immediately."
