The bedroom door was quietly pushed open, and a soft light flowed from the gap, and then two heads poked out, looking up and down, looking left and right.
Confirm that no one is there.
Zhu Yu took the first step holding a bath towel, waving his hands to the soldiers behind him to follow him like an officer charging forward against artillery fire in a war movie.
So Private First Class Xia Fenghe immediately stepped out of the queue, and after a series of complex tactical movements, he successfully hit his toes on the sofa in the dark.
She consciously covered her mouth under the officer's speechless and choked eyes, her face feeling slightly hot.
After quietly navigating through the minefield-like living room, tonight's uninvited guest finally slipped into his destination with the cooperation of the mole.
"Why do you have to come in..."
The blush on Xia Fenghe's face not only did not dissipate, but became even thicker.
Although the two of them traveled for a while in another world, this was completely different from their current situation.
She was already starting to regret asking for a bath.
"What if Suicao hears the sound of water coming from the bathroom and finds me still in the room?"
Zhu Yu turned his back to her and pushed back unceremoniously, "Hurry up, don't delay, I just taught you how to use the hot water equipment, right?"
"Woo..."
Xia Fenghe, who had nothing to say, could only accept his fate and unbutton the front of the hospital gown from top to bottom, muttering in protest, "If you are discovered, use negotiation (physics) on her."
Obviously everyone has returned from another world, but you seem to have made good friends.
She was sore.
"You also read out the words in the brackets."
Zhu Yu listened to the sounds behind him and connected the hair dryer in his hand to the plug. "Give me the clothes and I will dry them for you."
"All, all? Can you stay..."
"No, I'll catch a cold."
"...tyrant old lady!"
What kind of strange name is that?
Realizing that he couldn't resist, Xia Fenghe hesitated and handed over the hospital clothes and trousers, and then several pieces of white cloth soaked by the rain with a touch of skin warmth.
To be honest, it's just cloth. It's not like I haven't seen it before. There is a similar style in the laundry basket but changed to marine colors.
The water flowed into the bathtub along the girl's body. Xia Fenghe carefully squatted down and immersed her body in the warmth. Only her curved shoulders were exposed, and her delicate collarbone was looming under the horizontal plane.
Zhu Yu turned on the button of the hair dryer, faced the door and spread the clothes on the small stool in the bathroom.
Theoretically, he can now use magic to do this, but unlike other world environments where he can skip the step of accumulating magic power, they now have to use the mechanism of "the concentration of magic power around them increases when two people coexist", like giving a battery Charging also accumulates valuable reserves.
So let’s shout long live technology.
It is precisely because of this that the hospital will definitely choose to call the police regardless of the fact that a patient will be missing tomorrow. The situation that ultimately attracts the attention of law enforcement must be avoided.
Anyway, there is a precedent of Zhu Yu, which has already shown that their physical condition is completely fine. As long as she doesn't mention the matter of the other world, it is completely feasible to pretend to be a normal person and leave the hospital through formal channels. If there are any flaws, blame it on the amnesia that is not a lie. That’s it.
He had already taught the other party this rhetoric.
The remaining question is why there is something recording his home address in her ward. It seems that she still has to return to the mental hospital.
Because Zhu Yu was thinking, there was only the sound of the heater running and the occasional sound of water in the bathroom.
"Can you say something?"
For Xia Fenghe, the current situation alone was shameful enough, and the continued silence amplified her concern, which was tantamount to continuous mental attacks.
She slapped the water in the bathtub awkwardly, and curiously grabbed the little yellow duck floating in front of her.
"Don't pinch it, it will make a scream and wake others up. By the way, I didn't look back, I just made a guess based on your habits."
The description of habit is too much!
But she was really ready to use her hands hard just now.
However, the conversation was finally established. Xia Fenghe continued the topic and asked, "The 'other person' you are talking about is the girl outside the door before?"
"Um."
"Her name is Suicao?"
The girl raised her bare arms upwards and watched the water droplets slide down from her fair skin exposed to the air, creating concentric ripples, like raindrops falling into puddles under the eaves of a summer house.
She guessed: "Is it your... family in this world?"
Zhu Yu paused the movements in his hands and sighed: "I don't know. I did think so originally, but the note you brought over made me unsure again."
He did not deceive Lin Suicao. He did have a subconscious feeling of closeness when he first met her in the hospital.
There was silence.
Xia Fenghe suddenly sank in frustration and spit out a series of bubbles: "I'm sorry."
"?Do you really have a cold?"
"no!"
She turned around and put her hands on the outer wall of the bathtub, maintaining this awkward posture and looking directly at the other person's back, "Because I used to think that I was the only unlucky person who was kicked back and forth between the two worlds... and I still have to face the same problem. You come to help comfort me."
In addition, part of the reason for the apology was an indescribable feeling, similar to the dark joy of an increase in the number of similar people.
“One for all, all for one.”
"what."
Xia Fenghe chuckled and rested his head on the edge, "It's so embarrassing. Fortunately, I'm still a brave man."
"Only that elf can call you that."
"W-what? I thought everyone respected me."
"Personally, seeing you get tricked by a Mimic for the second time will never happen again, ever."
The girl started blowing bubbles in dissatisfaction again, and then laughed to herself because of the strange sound.
She lay on the edge of the bathtub, announcing in a low voice as if she was feeling something, but also as if she was confiding.
"In this case, no matter in the world over there or in the world here, you will have seen all my embarrassing looks."
Zhu Yu instantly became alert: "What does that mean? I don't believe in equal exchange, so I won't tell you my dark history."
"……Fool."
Being called a fool by a fool.
When Xia Fenghe finished washing, her clothes were of course not dry yet.
So Zhu Yu ventured out of the bathroom again and temporarily gave her his shirt.
Perhaps Lin Suicao was already asleep, and there was no movement in her room.
The men's white shirt was still a bit too big for a girl of average height, so Xia Fenghe could wave the loose cuffs up and down and have a great time.
The loose hem perfectly covered the pajamas that were also contributed by him, and his smooth and slender legs stretched out from below, like white lines drawn in the blue sky.
"When it rains less outside, I will run back and tell the guards what you taught me the next day."
When Zhu Yu pushed the door back to his room with an umbrella, she waved her sleeves at him as if to say hello.
"First of all, it's not the guard, it's the nurse and the doctor."
Zhu Yu immediately corrected him, "Is there no problem? Do you remember the way? How about I go there with you?"
"Overprotective."
The word Xia Fenghe said made him dazzle for a moment. She rolled up her sleeves in a show-off manner, revealing her white arms that didn't seem to have many muscle lines. The shimmering runes were wrapped up along the curve of her arms, "The reserves are enough." Yes, and I have been memorizing the route in the car... Why are you so stunned here?"
“I remembered that I had the same problem as everyone else.”
"other people?"
It took her a moment to realize who it was.
She looked at the other person's face: "Then she must like you very much...I'm talking about it in the sense of family or friends as well."
is that so?
Zhu Yu felt that Lin Suicao's awkward appearance was indeed not incapable of feeling something like concern.
But for what reason?
He suddenly realized: "Hey, you are taking advantage of me and implying that I like you, right?"
Xia Fenghe whistled and hung up his undried clothes in the room to dry.
Zhu Yu, who didn't get an answer, sadly discovered that the amnesia patient's proficiency in housework skills had surpassed that of Lin Suicao.
"I feel like I've done something similar before..."
After finishing cleaning, she clapped her hands and lay down on the floor that Zhu Yu had cleaned, "Good night!"
"I'm going to stay up late to prevent you from oversleeping."
Tonight, the tried-and-tested desk lamp was closed, and the room fell into soft darkness. The gradually decreasing rain pounded on the window, playing a monotonous movement.
"Are you asleep?"
"Fell asleep."
There was the sound of turning over and the girl's whisper from the side.
"I just woke up, oh, it should be said that I was really scared when I came back from time travel. I couldn't sleep at all in the cell... the ward. When I met you later, although I said that I would rescue us all, in fact, I thought Fortunately, I'm not the only one suffering."
"What a dark thought."
Zhu Yu, who was already asleep, also replied in a low voice.
"I'm just thinking about it!"
She looked at the ceiling and patiently counted the lines on it, "And now I feel much more at ease."
Because there is the only companion who can understand her situation, whether it is to survive in this "strange" world or to find the social relationships that she has forgotten, she seems to have a feasible direction.
"I will also come to the hospital to see you later."
"we have a deal."
The girl turned over again and faced Zhu Yu, who was also lying on her side. Her eyes seemed to be shining in the darkness, "I don't know why... I seem to have forgotten your name in the world over there."
She also encountered the same situation as Zhu Yu.
"So, can you tell me your name in this world?"
Speaking of which, until now, they have not given each other names.
Zhu Yu told her.
"Then, thank you, Zhu Yu."
