Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Borrowing the Bathroom
Tao Ning felt a little embarrassed and asked the system at a loss, "What...what should I do?"
The system said seriously: [Good opportunity, idiot. It's already broken, so just use this as an excuse to use his bathroom.]
"Oh..." Tao Ning continued, "So what should I do next?"
The clattering sound of flipping pages continued in my mind. It was the system flipping through the secret manual. After a moment, it confidently said, "I've got Dazu. This book is called 'The Colonel Chased His Wife Again - Where Did His Wife Go?' At this time, you need to put on your pink bathrobe and knock on his door! I used big data to search, and it's basically 99% the same routine, and the success rate! A whopping 100%!"
Tao Ning was surprised. She hadn't expected this strategy to be so effective. She immediately felt a certain respect for the previously strange secret technique and nodded seriously. "So what's the success rate if my bathrobe is white?"
The system was a bit confused and said in a pretentious manner: "Stupid, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Just try it first and you'll know."
"All right."
Tao Ning agreed obediently. In the bathroom, he took off his new clothes. His thin body in the darkness had a youthful feel like a willow branch in spring. The shoulder blades on both sides of his back were as beautiful as butterflies, but because of his weak body, he looked very thin. His waist was so thin that it could not be grasped. There was a bright red mole on the lower left side, which made his skin look as white as snow.
The young man was only wearing a small shirt with Ultraman printed on it. He tied his bathrobe tightly and walked through the quiet and deserted corridor. He stopped in front of a white door with patterns carved on the outside. Tao Ning then discovered that there was a talisman pasted on the door. The cinnabar red was so red that it looked like dripping blood, which was a bit weird.
Is it for safety? Tao Ning took note of this somewhat strange thing and planned to ask Ayun about it tomorrow. He stood at the door and knocked twice very regularly, but no one answered.
Tao Ning knocked twice more, but still no one responded. He was a very stubborn person. Seeing that no one responded and no one told him whether Song Yucong had gone out, he decided to knock a few more times.
I bent my fingers and was about to knock twice more when the door suddenly opened with a bang!
Tao Ning was startled and couldn't help but take a few steps back. The tall man inside the door was standing against the light, with broad shoulders that almost blocked out all the light in the room, making him look very gloomy, as if covered by dark clouds.
Song Yucong looked coldly at the young man behind the door who was only as tall as his chest. His bangs had grown a little long, almost covering his eyes behind the lenses, leaving only his palm-sized oval face and rosy lips exposed.
The boy was thin, but had a little cute baby fat on both sides of his cheeks. The loose bathrobe didn't fit him well, revealing a large area of his snow-white collarbone that extended all the way down, but was all covered by the bathrobe.
Frowning and looking away, Song Yucong said coldly: "Why are you knocking so late at night? If you don't want to sleep, go back." After saying that, he didn't even look at Tao Ning behind the door, and was about to slam the door shut.
Tao Ning suppressed her embarrassment, pressed her slender hand against the door, and asked softly, "I'm sorry... to bother you so late, it's just... it's just that my bathroom is broken, can I borrow yours to take a shower..."
Song Yucong snorted disdainfully, looked over with a critical gaze, and spat out three words coldly: "Are you worthy?"
These three simple words were filled with condescending disdain and criticism. Tao Ning's already fair face turned as pale as paper, and she whispered, "I'm...I'm sorry."
But at this moment the stubbornness in his bones emerged. The boy stood there with a pale face and lowered his head. Only the soft swirl of hair could be seen, but he did not leave.
Seeing this, Song Yucong's handsome and sharp face showed impatience, "Don't make me say it again, get out of here."
This time, the man's patience completely disappeared, but the boy was more stubborn than him. He stood there motionless, as if he would not give up until he could use the bathroom to take a shower. He lowered his head and looked cautious, but unexpectedly, he was like a stubborn kitten and could not be driven away.
Song Yucong became furious. He didn't expect this country bumpkin to be so shameless and use such a crude method to curry favor with him. So he ignored the boy's fingers on the door and pushed him open with force.
He didn't know how to control his strength at all. The floor was clean but slippery. The shoes the boy was wearing were brought back from home and were not non-slip. The man caught him off guard and pushed him with all his strength. His shoes slipped backwards and his body fell backwards.
There was a muffled "pop" sound.
Tao Ning's tailbone hit the ground hard, and the pain made his face turn pale instantly. In order to cushion the force, his elbow also hit the ground directly. Within a few seconds, the originally white and pink elbow quickly turned purple around, looking horrible.
The system screamed in my mind: [Idiot! Are you okay?]
Tao Ning was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. Plop, plop, her tears fell to the floor. After a long while, when the pain subsided a little, she finally had the strength to reply, "No, it's okay..."
Song Yucong didn't see the boy's bruised elbow, so he naturally didn't believe that a man could be so weak. He also heard him mumbling to himself, and his contempt and weirdness grew even stronger. He slammed the door shut with a loud "bang".
After a long time, Tao Ning felt his body had recovered and slowly stood up. However, every time he took a step, his tailbone hurt badly, probably because of a bone injury.
The system was so angry that it mechanically chimed in intermittently: [Idiot, he's gone too far! ! ]
Tao Ning wiped away her tears and hummed sullenly, "System, I don't want to capture him."
The system fell silent. After a moment, a mechanical voice said, "Sorry, idiot. I'm just an AI... I can't help you."
【It doesn't matter. 】
Tao Ning returned to the room and sneezed. The room was dark and cold. Because the power control system broke down, and no one knew which system had been affected, the air conditioner could not be turned off.
In the hot summer, the central air conditioning in the villa is turned on 24 hours a day, and the indoor temperature is maintained at 23 to 25 degrees. But for a weak person like Tao Ning, it is a bit cold, so when he is at home, even if Zhao Jingqun holds him to sleep every night in the hot summer, he can sleep soundly.
Tao Ning took out the medicine for bruises and sprains that Tao Yuan had prepared for him and slowly applied it to his bruised elbow. He was a person who could endure pain very well and would only cry out in pain when it was too painful.
So the boy just frowned and applied the medicine bit by bit. Later, he realized that if he didn't put on some clothes, he would freeze to death.
Tao Ning put down the medicine, his cheeks flushed, and he put on his clothes dazedly, until the system asked him: "Damn, did you forget to take your medicine?"
"Hmm...it seems so..."
As the last word fell, the boy fell to the ground with a thud, and the system screamed in fear: ! ! Idiot——
When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was endless darkness. At the same time, a mechanical voice in my mind was very piercing:
[Warning! The host has not completed Song Yucong's first solo mission, and is now being punished: blindness will be blocked for twelve hours! Please continue to work hard on the next mission!]
Tao Ning's breathing stagnated for a moment. No wonder he couldn't see anything. This was the first time he failed to complete a mission. The feeling of being deprived of his sight was terrible. Helplessness and bewilderment quickly surrounded him, as if the world was suddenly plunged into a torrential rain called darkness.
But now he was alone outside, without Tao Yuan, Xiao Meng, or Zhao Jingqun to care for him. So the boy could only rely on himself. He calmed himself with trembling hands, but suddenly heard a voice beside him ask, "...What are you up to?"
It was Song Yucong, but this magnetic voice sounded a little strange at this time, as if impatient, and a little weird.
When Ayun went to deliver the evening dessert to Tao Ning, she found him unconscious. She hurriedly called the family doctor, which also alarmed Mrs. Song. When Tao Ning was found, one of his arms was covered with bruises and he looked as if he had been abused. There were bottles and jars of medicine on the table, which looked scary.
After learning what had happened, Mrs. Song severely reprimanded Song Yucong and ordered him to stay with Tao Ning until he recovered. Because if such a thing were to get out, it would definitely affect Song Heng's career.
So Song Yucong was forced to come and look after Tao Ning, but as soon as he entered the ward, he saw the boy half-lying on the bed, without his rustic glasses——
Probably because the doctor had taken her hair off for treatment, her soft curls hung down in front of her forehead. Her palm-sized face showed her pair of light brown eyes with thick eyelashes, but without a trace of light, she stared blankly at the front. Her lips on her pretty face were tightly pursed and pale.
The person on the hospital bed was enveloped by fragility and helplessness, like a flower drenched by rain, somewhat withered. It made people so distressed that they wanted to immediately hug the boy in their arms and comfort him.
Song Yucong felt his heart stop for a moment. He stared at the boy's face intently, and a strong sense of strangeness surged in his heart... Is this what this country bumpkin looks like? But he still had a sullen face. Seeing that the boy ignored him for a long time, he felt inexplicably unhappy and asked coldly:
"...What are you up to?"
However, it would have been better if he didn't make a sound. As soon as he made a sound, the boy seemed to be frightened and his body instantly shrank back like a frightened baby bird, but he still didn't make a sound.
Song Yucong frowned, realizing something was wrong. He asked again, "Can't you hear me?"
The boy's eyes finally turned towards him, but those beautiful eyes still had no light, as if covered with a layer of mist, like pearls covered by dust.
After a long time, Tao Ning shook his head, but still did not speak.
Song Yucong frowned and wanted to wave his hand in front of his eyes, but he felt that this was a very stupid thing to do, so he didn't do it. Instead, he turned around and tried to call the doctor over.
But just as he turned around, the person behind him seemed to sense something and instantly grabbed the corner of his clothes. Song Yucong was stunned. He turned around and saw the young man raised his beautiful face that looked like a painting. His eyes shrouded in mist were cautiously "looking" at him, and his soft voice trembled slightly: "Don't go..."
He was very scared. The world he "saw" was without any light. It seemed that a long time ago, in his deepest memory, there was also such a time.
So Tao Ning was terrified by this. She tightened her grip on the man's clothes and said habitually, "Zhao..." But when the words came to her lips, she realized that the man who was reluctant to let him get hurt was long gone.
"What are you looking for?"
Instead, there was another man's more magnetic and indifferent voice. Tao Ning looked dazed, his pupils slightly constricted. After a moment, he put down his hand, lowered his head and whispered, "Nothing."
He seemed to have subconsciously recognized the wrong person.
