Zhou Jinru broke the silence: "Miss Xu Yu, are you also visiting Pingpan?"
"Revisiting the old place."
"That's it. It's my first time to come to Pingpan. I heard that there will be a mariachi band in a few days. It should be lively."
Xu Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Aguang is a lively person."
Zhou Jinru put his arms on the window, the cool night breeze blew into his clothes, but the rain not far away made him cough slightly.
"Ahem."
"Feel sorry."
Zhou Jinru quickly closed the window, and Xu Yu gently covered her mouth: "I am the one who should be sorry. My body is too weak, which has affected Mr. Aguang."
"No, the wind is indeed cooler at night. I was negligent."
Xu Yu didn't stop and turned back to the room. Zhou Jinru grabbed his hair helplessly. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
As a new surgeon, Zhou Jinru felt that Xu Yu's body was too fragile. He was either recovering from a serious illness or was born this way.
After this incident, he didn't stay long. After returning to the room, he lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Acting Mayor Marcus's personal sponsorship helped him solve his urgent need. At least during this period, he didn't have to worry about money. He could buy some emergency medical equipment after dawn to make up for his previous consumption.
A night of silence.
After Zhou Jinru finished washing, he walked downstairs and happened to see the landlady and his family having breakfast.
"Mr. Aguang, do you want to eat together?"
"good."
Zhou Jinru readily agreed. The hotel would provide breakfast and it would be added to the fee when the time came. The down payment he left was still enough.
Breakfast was not very complicated, with croissants and hot milk or orange juice, a few slices of bacon dotted with cherry tomatoes, and peanut butter if necessary. Zhou Jinru ate happily and watched TV with the boss's mother's children.
The little boy turned around and asked loudly: "Mom, a stage is being set up over there in the square. There will be performances on the weekend!"
The landlady took off her apron and said with a smile: "There are still five days left. Have you done your summer homework?"
The little boy was immediately deflated and held his mouth shut, like a wilted eggplant.
Zhou Jinru held his forehead. It seemed that the land of Terra was not exempt from this. Children remembered the fear of being dominated by their summer vacation homework. No matter how heroic they were, they had to tuck their tails.
"Miss Xuyu, good morning."
Raising her head, she happened to see Xu Yu coming down. Her movements were graceful and step by step, which was pleasing to the eye.
"Mr. Aguang, you got up so early."
Zhou Jinru asked again: "Would you like breakfast?"
"Um."
He stood up, picked up the dinner plate, selected a few items from the food prepared by the landlady, and pushed it to Xu Yu, who pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time.
Zhou Jinru asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Isn't it to your liking?"
Xu Yu shook his head slightly: "No, it's exactly what I want."
Zhou Jinru laughed, thinking that Xu Yu was really good at talking. He just picked some at random without any deliberate preparation.
A small piece of bread, a boiled egg, a glass of orange juice, and a plate of cold noodles may be too much for a girl.
But Xu Yu ate neither too fast nor too slowly, especially when eating cold noodles. She expertly applied sauces on them, which surprised Zhou Jinru. Recalling what she said at night about revisiting her old place, she felt that this was not the first time she had lived there. here.
"Miss Xuyu, see you later."
After watching for a few more minutes, Zhou Jinru got up and walked outside the hotel. His plan in the morning was to go to the hospital to buy medical equipment.
Before taking two steps, Xu Yu's voice came from behind: "Please wait a moment."
After Xu Yu wiped her mouth, she asked, "Mr. Aguang, are you going to the hospital?"
"how do you know?"
The girl smiled: "It comes from a doctor's intuition."
She added: "We happen to be on the way, so let me do you a favor. Thank you for choosing breakfast."
Zhou Jinru had no reason to refuse. He made a gesture of invitation and walked out of the hotel with Xu Yu one after another.
"It's a cool motorcycle. Are you going to use it for off-roading?"
Zhou Jinru doesn't want to admit it, because the industry in Terra is not yet developed enough to allow a motorcycle to go cross-country for long distances, but his car comes from another world and has been modified very high-end, especially the micro-netonic engine, which is about unlimited. energy.
“It helped me a lot,” he said.
Zhou Jinru climbed into the car, stretched out his hands, hugged Xu Yu's waist, and placed her behind him.
The girl's waist was very thin and soft, which made him a little nostalgic, but this emotion was quickly suppressed. He kicked off the leg support and slowly turned the turntable to increase the speed.
With adaptive shields to block the wind, it doesn't matter if you're a little faster.
Xu Yu sat very firmly, as if she was fixed in her seat, without shaking or speaking. She didn't speak until the two of them arrived at Pingpan Hospital and the car parked.
"Mr. Aguang, your car is really amazing. I sat in the back and didn't feel any wind at all."
Zhou Jinru stood next to the motorcycle and patted the faucet: "If you are willing, I can drive a little longer and experience it again."
The girl blinked: "That will have to wait until we resolve everything."
Does this count as accepting the invitation?
Zhou Jinru was quite surprised. Xu Yu had some intention of keeping a distance before. Why did he change his attitude now?
But it's not too important.
They walked into the hospital. Under Xu Yu's leadership, he went to the medical equipment retail store and replenished supplies. He even bought a few more bags of extremely effective hemostatic powder that he had not had before. As a result, the small amount of money he had already shrunk rapidly. But none of it is wasted, but converted into other assets.
"Doctor Xu Yu?"
Just as they were about to leave, a middle-aged doctor happened to pass by, saw Xu Yu, and quickly stopped them.
The middle-aged doctor smiled and said: "I was in the emergency room yesterday, so I remember Dr. Xu Yu's appearance. Isn't the person next to me the homeless doctor who treated the wounded together?"
Zhou Jinru shook hands with him and said, "To be honest, yesterday was also the first time I met Dr. Xu Yu. Her skills are quite superb!"
"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."
Xu Yu had no intention of continuing on this topic: "Are all the wounded who were sent yesterday okay?"
"Well, timely hemostasis bought valuable time for rescue. The technique of applying the tourniquet was also quite sophisticated. The pneumothorax sealing patch and pneumothorax were also done very well. The colleagues of the injured would like to thank you. Without you, they would have no chance to survive." Come down."
"These are things doctors should do. There is nothing to thank you for."
When he came out of the hospital, Zhou Jinru hung his backpack on the rearview mirror of his motorcycle and found Xu Yu looking at him.
He asked: "Doctor Xu Yu?"
"Nothing, let's go back."
The summer sun is indeed quite harsh, so now is not a good time for a drive. When the two returned to the hotel, the landlady happened to be receiving new customers.
"Is there really no such person here?"
asked the film girl wearing a blue sun hat.
The landlady said helplessly: "Miss, I have no memory of the person you mentioned. I have never left Pingpan since I was born. I really have never heard of him."
"That's it."
The furry pointed ears on the girl's head drooped down, and even the slightly curved tail behind her hung to the ground.
She took out another ID and handed it over: "Please give me a room. I will stay here for a while longer, thank you."
The landlady helped her issue a document and said, "You can ask the elderly people nearby. There are several retired messengers living here. Maybe they have heard of the person you are talking about."
The girl Felin's pointed ears suddenly stood up and she thanked him: "Thank you for your help. I will definitely find this person."
She turned around and saw the two people coming in at the door. She didn't pay much attention to them at first glance, but at the second glance, her pupils shrank sharply and she almost blurted out.
As soon as Zhou Jinru entered the door, he saw the girl from Feilin. Their eyes met and he was surprised. Wasn't this girl the little fairy he had seen in his dream? !
why you? !
Don't say it!
After completing a brief exchange with just his eyes, Zhou Jinru looked away, said hello to the landlady, and went up to the second floor. His mood could not be calmed down for a long time.
The fairy in the dream castle is actually real, and she's downstairs, and she's planning to live here!
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of his room.
Boom, boom, boom.
Zhou Jinru turned the handle and saw the girl Feilin in a beautiful long dress blocking the door, looking like she was letting me in.
"You're actually real!"
"How did you see me?"
The two of them spoke at the same time and shut up at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Miss Feilin frowned and spoke first: "Answer my question first, how did you see me?"
"Why did I see you? You were right there. Why can't I see you?"
Zhou Jinru has already experienced a Jingzhe who wanted to marry him after knowing the secret, and he would not be surprised if he experienced a little fairy who wanted to marry him when he saw his true face.
Miss Felin seemed to have seen what he was thinking, and she wanted to take out her staff and shine it on his face a few times. However, in order to clarify the problem, she held back and asked: "No, in my castle, everything Even the guests can’t see my face clearly, how did you do that?”
Recalling the time when she received this man, she felt that her disguise was seen through at once, and even the castle could not affect the other man's vision and perception.
Zhou Jinru's expression suddenly became serious. He was a lighthouse, and it was normal to detect illusions, but what exactly was the so-called dream castle. He wants to figure it out.
"There are even gods in this land. Just think of it as my special ability. I can indeed detect some things. Before asking others for information, shouldn't I introduce myself first?"
Miss Feilin's expression was stagnant. She was too impatient. It would be too rude to go straight to the point without any preamble or simple greetings.
The girl lifted up her long skirt with both hands, revealing her round ankles. The shoes she wore were very nice and her taste was quite good.
"Alice, the owner of the dream castle and the guardian of children's dreams."
Sweet dreams.
Zhou Jinru had seen several sweet dreams, which eventually turned into nightmares, and he has stayed away from this word since then.
"Aguang, the wanderer, is a doctor for the time being."
Are you just a wanderer? !
The film girl named Alice looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, but it was indeed the case. She could feel that the man was not lying.
"Really no more?"
"I'm looking for Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Company, but I can't find it yet. Do you have any clues?"
"Rhode Island?"
Alice seemed to remember something and murmured: "If you are looking for Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Company, I have a commission to complete, but before that..."
By now, Zhou Jinru had already seen some signs. The black dragon he saw in his dream yesterday might not be the actor invited by Alice...
"Alice, seriously, you want to find some kids to be dragon slayers?"
The film girl stared: "What are you talking about? That big guy was a complete accident. It's impossible for something so scary to appear in the dream castle, okay?"
"You want to tell me that what happened yesterday was an accident?"
Alice's tone suddenly dropped an octave: "Of course, it was an accident."
She asked what she wanted to hear. There was no point in staying here any longer. When she walked to the door, she turned to look at Zhou Jinru: "Mr. Aguang, the invitation to the tea party is for the children. I don't know how you did it." Get it, but don’t do anything like this again, you’re really not a kid.”
A slightly older teenager can be regarded as a child. When an adult says that he is a teenager, he can also be classified as a child. No matter how you hear it, it sounds like strong words.
"I promise, but can you guarantee that the dragon won't cause trouble for you again?"
Alice muttered and said angrily: "You don't have to worry."
After Miss Feilin left, Zhou Jinru sighed silently. It seemed that there were too many mysterious things in this land, and he really didn't know enough.
Especially the dragon, which is an amazing existence. People say that Vaifan's racial shadow is a bipedal flying dragon. Who would have thought that a real dragon would appear?
He was lying on the bed, holding the remote control in his hand, changing channels as he pleased. There were actually more than a dozen TV programs in a small land city like Pingpan, but more than half of them were variety shows or TV series, which should be from Mobile City. Bought it while playing.
Since returning to the hotel, Xu Yu hasn't said another word to him, probably because she noticed the communication between him and Alice.
During lunch, there was another person in the store, Alice.
The little boy who always wanted to see the little fairy never thought that the fairy was right in front of him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat, Zhou Jinru figured out what Alice was looking for. There was a key in her hand, which was said to have been deposited by someone many years ago. It was said that it was sent to Pingpan at this time and given to another person.
When Alice came here with the object, she could no longer find the recipient because it was too old.
Zhou Jinru asked: "Is the current recipient a descendant of the depositor?"
Alice's eyes lit up. This was quite possible. She had also heard of some ways to store time capsules. She could send a letter to her future self and wait until the capsule was reopened decades later.
She secretly clenched her fists and followed this line of thought, maybe she would be able to find clues.
