Tang Ning returned to the house. Lin Yun found a dry towel to help him wipe his hair. Zhang Yun said she was going to make ginger soup.
Tang Ning put his finger in his mouth and started to suck the cards, but drowning had taken too much toll on his body. He sneezed again, feeling weak and powerless.
Lin Yun touched Tang Ning's forehead and found it was not hot but cold. Tang Ning's hand was as cold as ice. "Go take a hot bath."
Tangning was a little hesitant.
He was afraid of taking a shower alone in a horror dungeon, or he was afraid of being alone, but the default unspoken rules of the dungeon arranged the number of people in the room at the beginning, which was the number most conducive to survival. If he changed it without authorization, it would only attract ghosts or other bad situations.
If it weren't for this unspoken rule, Tangning really wanted to make a bed in Lin Yun's room. No, just making a bed would be fine. Imagine if there was a ghost sleeping under the bed, and then they would look at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Yun searched through Tangning's luggage and found a set of clean clothes. "Do you want to take a shower?"
Tangning thought about it and took out her damaged phone. She showed it to Lin Yun pitifully. Lin Yun couldn't help but frown, "I wonder if there's anyone who can repair phones in this town? Let me use my phone first. You need it more right now. Tell me how you're going to get home tonight."
Tangning took Lin Yun's phone and briefly recounted her experience.
Lin Yun showed a look of disbelief. He asked Tangning, "Although I can't swim, even if I could, I wouldn't go into the water to save that player. Am I such a selfless person?"
He said this openly and forthrightly. Tangning lowered her head in shame and said, "Not like that."
"What an idiot."
Tangning lowered his head in shame. He heard Lin Yun sigh, "Only an idiot like you would risk your life to save others."
She wrapped a dry towel around Tangning's hair and said, "Be a bad guy next time and don't be so nice to others."
Tangning raised his eyes to look at Lin Yun. Lin Yun rubbed his head vigorously with a towel. Tangning frowned and said seriously, "But my teammate, not someone else."
Lin Yun suddenly didn't know what to say.
The door was pushed open at this time, and Zhang Yun came in with a bowl of steaming ginger soup. Tangning stretched out her hands to take the bowl, but Zhang Yun said, "It's very hot, use a spoon."
A spoon was placed in the bowl, and Zhang Yun said, "I'll put some brown sugar in it, will it..."
Tangning took a sip and gave Zhang Yun an excited smile. His eyes curved when he smiled, and his thick eyelashes couldn't hide his bright eyes. Zhang Yun paused for a moment before saying, "It will be sweeter."
"Do you want to take a hot bath? I can help you run the hot water first." Zhang Yun asked the same question as Lin Yun.
Tang Ning drank her soup while measuring Zhang Yun. Isn't Zhang Yun the prince in the Princess and the Pea movie
That should be the case. Zhang Yun was able to save him from the monster. If he had Zhang Yun with him while taking a bath, he would feel safe.
Thinking of this, Tangning nodded.
He wrote to Zhang Yun: "Can you take a bath with me?"
Zhang Yun lowered his head to read the words on his phone. The bowl of ginger soup fell from his suddenly loosened hands, and shattered into pieces on the ground.
Tangning was startled by this little accident. Luckily, the soup didn't spill on them, only a little.
Zhang Yun squatted down in panic. He reached out to pick up the broken pieces of porcelain. After putting a few small pieces into the large piece of porcelain, Zhang Yun did not look at Tangning. He lowered his head and said, "Sorry, I'll pour you another bowl."
The phone screen was placed under his eyes: "I'm a little scared to take a shower alone."
Zhang Yun's gaze moved away from the screen as if burned, and when it fell on his hand holding the broken porcelain, his gaze seemed to cool down.
Lin Yun also came over. He took a look and couldn't help but say to Tangning, "I can accompany you."
Tangning looked at Lin Yun deeply and said quickly, "Why don't we go find a sow that can climb trees first?"
Lin Yun: “?”
Tangning deleted the message to Lin Yun and handed the phone back to Zhang Yun, "Is that possible?"
"Yes." Zhang Yun said softly.
After receiving Zhang Yun's promise, Tangning was no longer so scared. He followed Zhang Yun to the bathroom. The room was small with a small window on the inside and a curtain hanging in the middle. Zhang Yun whispered, "Stand behind the curtain while you take a bath. I won't peek."
Tang Ning tilted her head and looked at the soaking wet Zhang Yun. She hadn't even changed her clothes or wiped herself off when she came back, but went to make ginger soup for him. Tang Ning even suspected that Zhang Yun didn't drink the ginger soup himself.
The temperature is lower at night, and Zhang Yun will probably get sick from tossing around like this.
This person doesn't seem to know how to take care of himself.
Tangning said, "We can go together. It doesn't matter if there's a curtain."
Zhang Yun waved his hands quickly.
"You'll get sick even if you do this!" Tangning said with an exclamation mark, "You're not taking care of your body like this!"
After seeing this, Zhang Yun clutched the corner of her clothes like a child who was scolded. It should be said that it was like an introverted student who was suddenly taken out by the teacher and scolded. Even if the teacher meant well and the tone was not severe, the child would feel extremely ashamed after hearing it.
Tangning reached out her hand and touched Zhang Yun's rough hand with her fingertips. Zhang Yun's body stiffened at that moment.
"Your hands are colder than mine. Take a hot bath too." Tangning showed Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun was silent for a moment and hummed softly.
Tang Ning didn't like seeing Zhang Yun's inferiority complex because it reminded him of his past self. A long time ago, there was a time when Tang Ning was as miserable as a dog. If anyone was nice to him, he would foolishly go home with that person.
It took him a long time to get out of that state. Now thinking about it, it would be nice if he could go back to the past. That way, he could comfort his past self.
Tangning picked up the towel and wrapped it around Zhang Yun's head. He gently wiped his half-dried hair. With most of his face covered by the towel, Zhang Yun looked like a young boy. Tangning smiled at Zhang Yun.
When you don't know what's happening to you, just try to express your kindness. Many times, that seemingly insignificant kindness may become the motivation for another person to persevere.
The curtain was lowered, and Tang Ning walked inside. He first took off his wet clothes, then he turned around to look at the curtain. After seeing a pair of bare feet under the curtain, Tang Ning felt a little more at ease.
Hot air filled the room. Tang Ning closed his eyes and let the hot water pour over his body. A breeze blew in from the small window. Tang Ning subconsciously looked at the small window, but it was pitch black and he could not see anything clearly.
Tang Ning wanted to close the window, but it was quite high and he couldn't reach it by standing on tiptoe. It was also inconvenient for him to call Zhang Yun now.
While Tang Ning was wiping his body with a towel soaked in hot water, he couldn't help but measure the small window.
There's nothing special about it, just an ordinary window.
The sound of water could be heard from next door. Tang Ning looked at Zhang Yun's exposed feet and realized that Zhang Yun was just behind a curtain. Tang Ning calmed down a little.
But there was still an indescribable creepy feeling, as if something was watching him.
Tang Ning subconsciously looked at the small dark window again. The wind blew in, giving Tang Ning goose bumps on his back. Tang Ning quickened the speed of washing. He felt that he had been in this game for too long and had become a frightened bird. He would be suspicious of everything he saw.
Tangning couldn't continue the bath for only two minutes. He pretended to be calm and wrung out the towel, then quickly wiped himself and returned to bed.
Tangning tried not to look at the small window. He shifted his attention to Zhang Yun's feet and tried to distract himself by thinking about random things, such as what size Zhang Yun's feet were, how often Zhang Yun's toenails were trimmed, and whether Zhang Yun's feet looked pretty good.
Tang Ning paused in wiping and looked at the pair of feet that were pale from being soaked in water.
Tang Ning listened to Lin Yun's popular science about ichthyosis. It is said that this disease usually does not show up on the face, but is more common on the limbs, such as the hands and feet.
Zhang Yun's hands are as rough as tree bark, so why does the skin on her feet look so smooth
Tang Ning suddenly thought, there was only one faucet in the bathroom. He was running hot water here to wash, so why was there a constant dripping sound coming from Zhang Yun's side
Goose bumps crawled up her back. Tang Ning didn't know whether to put on her clothes and go out. She pretended that she didn't notice anything and continued to wash.
Under Tang Ning's stiff gaze, the pair of pale feet suddenly moved.
It went out slowly.
Every step left a wet footprint.
Tang Ning's hands began to tremble. He was afraid that he would see that thing suddenly lying on top of him and looking at him through the curtain with its head.
A gust of cold wind blew in from the small window. Tang Ning didn't know whether to turn around and look at the window. He continued to stare at the pair of feet. His body was pounding so hard that it had finally regained a little warmth under the steam, but it turned cold.
The pair of feet finally left his sight. Tangning saw a pair of feet wearing shoes approaching. The owner of the feet bent down to take off his shoes, revealing rough hands and feet. Tangning, who had been holding his breath, finally couldn't help but take a breath. He heard Zhang Yun next door say, "I just went to get some clothes."
Tangning quickly said, "I've already washed it!"
He handed the phone to Zhang Yun, who was a little surprised: "Then I'll take it back to the house first."
Tang Ning did not refuse. He quickly put on his clothes and followed Zhang Yun out. When he went out, Tang Ning used a flashlight to look around, trying to find any wet footprints.
But after searching for a long time, Tang Ning couldn't find him. It seemed that he had disappeared out of thin air at the door of this house.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yun asked with concern.
Tang Ning took out his phone and tried to write, but it was a bit strange to say it out loud at this moment. Tang Ning felt like something was on the edge of his seat. He shook his head, feeling really scared, and followed Zhang Yun out of here tremblingly.
After a while.
A pair of pale feet first fell down from the door frame little by little, followed by a pair of scaly hands.
