Zhou Xiuwen's staff were very considerate. They quickly arranged a room for them and brought them loose clothing and warm meals.
This is indeed what they all need. No matter whether it is Jiang Hui who is on the verge of life and death, or Zhou Xiuwen and Huan Xian who are busy running around, they have not had a good meal the whole day.
The things were delivered directly to their rooms, so there was no need for them to meet again and they all stayed in their respective rooms to rest.
Considering that Jiang Hui was a girl, the people in Zhou’s house arranged for her to live on one floor alone, and the others were assigned to the floor below.
So many things happened that day that it was already very late at the hospital, long past the time when most people go to bed. Then the group took a spaceship from the hospital to Zhou's house, and it was already early morning when the news spread.
After Jiang Hui washed up and had a simple meal, she felt a strong sense of fatigue involuntarily. She turned off the lights and lay on the soft bed. The heavy curtains blocked the moonlight outside, creating an extremely safe environment.
Although he was very tired, Jiang Hui didn't feel sleepy at all.
It was already past twelve o'clock when she was on the spaceship just now. She was forcibly sent into the consciousness space in an instant. She had already slept during that period of time, so she was not very sleepy now.
But Jiang Hui could clearly feel the fatigue welling up from deep within his body, which could not be relieved by the consciousness space. The best way was to eat well, sleep well and rest well, there was no other way.
So even if he couldn't sleep, Jiang Hui forced himself to lie on the soft bed, waiting for the moment to fall asleep.
… No, I still can’t sleep!
Jiang Hui suddenly sat up from the bed, staring straight ahead.
————————
"Why aren't you sleeping?" A voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Jiang Hui sat beside the windowsill in his neatly dressed state.
The white-based arched windows took up almost three-quarters of the height of the floor, and the silver moonlight shining in almost covered the entire corridor.
The dark red walls on both sides reveal a velvety texture under the moonlight, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.
This is a corner of the corridor outside her room.
Jiang Hui couldn't fall asleep for a while, and felt bored staying in the room, so he went out to get some fresh air in the corridor. Unexpectedly, he ran into a guy who was also unable to sleep and was out for a walk.
After experiencing time travel, Jiang Hui felt that there was nothing to be afraid of in this world. After all, her own existence was already quite mysterious.
So when she heard someone suddenly calling her from behind, she turned around naturally.
The only people who were still awake and could get behind her and talk were the few people who might have come with her.
Hillman was such a carefree kid that he was probably sleeping like a pig at this moment.
Even if Zhou Xiuwen was still awake, he probably wouldn't be free to hang out. Therefore, there was only one person left who was still awake and ran into her.
Huan Xian was not like Jiang Hui who remembered to put on a neat daily suit after leaving the room. He just wore the pajamas provided by Zhou's house and went out for a stroll.
It's just that the Zhou family's service staff, perhaps influenced by Zhou Xiuwen's aesthetics, prepared furry and cute pajamas for their friends... Huanxian's pajamas are quite decent, with no long or short hair, but the collar is embroidered with cartoon dog images from some program, which forms a strong contrast with his slightly indifferent face at the moment.
Jiang Hui convinced herself that it was okay, it was okay for a child to wear cute clothes. Didn't she wear it to sleep just now... Well, she couldn't help but change into another outfit and sit outside because the clothes were too ugly.
The other party didn't care at all about the pajamas that didn't match his temperament, and naturally lowered himself to sit on the other side of the window sill, facing Jiang Hui. However, his posture seemed more casual, with one leg bent and the other leg hanging naturally to the ground.
"You haven't slept either." Jiang Hui raised his eyebrows.
"Are you still scared?" Huan Xian asked back, not paying attention to Jiang Hui's obviously sarcastic statement.
"… Not really." Jiang Hui shook her head. She didn't dare to say that she wasn't afraid before, but even if she was, it would have disappeared by now, leaving only fatigue and fear.
The other party nodded thoughtfully, and then there was a long silence. The silent air seemed to be brewing some heavy atmosphere.
"Sorry, I knew about the game a long time ago." Huan Xian whispered word by word. His voice was very soft, and his expression showed a trace of peculiar embarrassment as he spoke, as if he was a little afraid to look at Jiang Hui's face.
He knew it not much later than Zhou Xiuwen, but he could not do what Zhou Xiuwen dared to do.
Zhou Xiuwen could also make various arrangements to try to delay his friends' pace and progress, except that he could do everything he could without revealing anything. However, even if he wanted to, he still couldn't make any effective blocking moves, because no one knew his awkward position better than him.
If he used manpower to stop Jiang Hui and others, his action, which had nothing to do with the mission, would inevitably become a corresponding report to those bigwigs in the military. At that time, Jiang Hui and others would be exposed to their eyes. Huan Xian didn't want his friends to be too involved in his mess, so he could only silently let Zhou Xiuwen do it.
However, the two of them still had some subtle actions but still failed to stop these friends who always had "more solutions than problems". Even the many obstacles still failed to reduce their interest in watching the game.
So the group was dragged in like this.
Not only Zhou Xiuwen regretted it, but Huan Xian also regretted it very much. He had countless opportunities to stop it, but he did nothing, so his friend suffered an unexpected disaster.
The series of events that followed… almost led to tragedy. Huan Xian thought to himself that he had played a very disgraceful role in it.
He thought he regretted it, and this was what regret was... When he found out that his friend was caught in a vortex of death, when he faced the death of someone he cared about, the extremely painful and bitter feeling that emerged in his heart was regret.
At that moment, he forgot about his embarrassing identity that might bring trouble to his friends, and he also forgot about the military's eyes that he once avoided. He also forgot about all those complicated thoughts, and he only wanted to go faster and faster... He wanted to try to save his friends and not let them wither in front of him like his mother.
The life-saving necklace still didn't come in handy, but this time his friend finally survived.
