"Are you okay?" Bai Fang looked down at Yu Yao. His cheeks and ears were red, and he looked a little strange.
Yu Yao shook her head quickly.
"Why are you covering your nose all the time? Did you bump into something accidentally?" Bai Fang lowered his head and wanted to look at Yu Yao's nose, but Yu Yao covered it tightly and refused to let him see.
Yu Yao's mind was a little confused. She was really afraid that Bai Fang would see her with a nosebleed. It would be so embarrassing.
"There shouldn't be anything that can hit you?" Bai Fang was confused. When she came over just now, she clearly felt that Yu Yao fell on her. It was impossible for her to hit her nose.
"Let me see." Bai Fang forcefully pulled up her hand. Yu Yao was no match for him at all and was easily pulled up by the claws, revealing her nose with two streams of blood flowing out.
Yu Yao's cheeks were burning hot, and she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear right there.
I bumped into him by accident and had a nosebleed, and was caught by the original owner.
"Are you bleeding from your nose?" Bai Fang took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped Yu Yao's face. He pinched her chin and helped stop the bleeding little by little, his movements very gently.
Yu Yao looked up at Bai Fang, one of them lowered their head while the other raised it, and the distance between them became closer. She could even feel Bai Fang's breath gently falling on her face, as light as a feather and carrying a warm breath.
She felt her head getting even more dizzy, and even had an uncontrollable flushing and fever.
"Why is your face so hot?" Bai Fang pulled Yu Yao's chin with his hand, then gently rubbed Yu Yao's hot cheeks. Her cheeks were red and hot, and her eyes were flustered, which was quite cute.
"Nothing, don't look at me." Yu Yao raised her hands to cover her face at a loss. She had always been thick-skinned, but she felt a little shy in front of Bai Fang for the first time.
"Okay then." Bai Fang let go of his hand. Girls probably don't like to be seen bleeding from the nose.
"No, you should just look at me." Yu Yao immediately put her hand down, shy but also a little shameless. "I might faint from losing too much blood."
Bai Fang stared at her thoughtfully, "Are you feeling unwell? Why are you bleeding from the nose for no reason?"
Yu Yao's cheeks flushed red as she stammered, "Maybe I've been getting irritated from staying up late lately."
Bai Fang pondered for two seconds and hesitated to speak.
"Then remember to have a good rest after you go back today."
Yu Yao nodded.
The bus continued to move shakily. Yu Yao didn't dare to keep looking at Bai Fang with her nose bleeding, so she kept her head tilted back to suppress the bleeding.
But if you look up, you can see Bai Fang's face.
Facing the face she loved very much at close range, Yu Yao's eyes sparkled. She glanced away for a while, then glanced at Bai Fang.
The eyes are furtive.
Bai Fang looked up silently at the bus route map.
Yu Yao looked very healthy, with rosy cheeks and no dark circles under her eyes. Bai Fang wouldn't believe a word she got from staying up late and getting a nosebleed.
From the moment she met her, the little girl looked shy and stared at her secretly from time to time.
His face showed his intention.
If Bai Fang didn't notice this, he would be too slow.
He was just too lazy to bring up the subject with her, and the other party didn't do anything big. Instead, he was always cautious, so she didn't mind.
But... would a normal girl have uncontrollable nosebleeds if she bumped into her chest?
The whole journey after Yu Yao was very quiet.
The bus wobbled as it arrived at the destination the two were going to. After the people on the bus got off one after another, the bus became empty.
After there was a seat available, the two of them found a place to sit down.
The scenery outside the car window gradually changed from the commercial district with high-rise buildings to the residential area, and finally to some old houses.
The city is developing very fast, and the old district here is inhabited by elderly people or people with low salaries.
At the same time, it is also possible that there are some dangerous human traffickers lurking here.
The bus arrived at the platform and slowly stopped.
Yu Yao and Bai Fang got out of the car together.
The area was very quiet, and they were the only two people getting off the train. It was probably still working hours, and there was almost no one around from the platform to the houses and streets on both sides.
After Yu Yao threw the tissue stained with nosebleed into the trash can, she trotted back to Bai Fang and looked around.
"The things here are very old. Maybe I can ask about the whereabouts of that girl."
Bai Fang nodded, took out his phone and handed it to Yu Yao, "This is a photo of her roommate that I got from Miss Liang. You can try asking her."
Yu Yao took the phone, looked around, and ran towards an alley that looked a bit old.
"Can you guys talk?" Yu Yao knocked on the alley wall. "I have something to ask you."
The alley was quiet for a few seconds, and then a faint sound came from under Yu Yao's feet.
"Can you stand aside? You stepped on the crack I just made, it hurts a little."
Yu Yao was stunned and immediately stood aside, only to find that the place where she had just stood was a slightly damaged concrete floor.
This location is the most frequently visited place, and the area where he had just stood was already very fragile, with a crack appearing.
"Sorry, I didn't see it." Yu Yao apologized quickly.
A leisurely sigh came from below, "It's okay, this place is going to be renovated in two years anyway, they'll make up for it for me."
Yu Yao squatted down and waved her phone on the ground. "I want to ask you something about someone. She appeared around here about a week ago. She's the girl on the left in the photo. Do you remember her?"
The ground was quiet for a few seconds.
"All I see every day are the soles of shoes. Even if you ask me about a person's face, I still don't really know."
"If you tell me what brand of shoes she was wearing, I might have some impression."
Yu Yao nodded. It seemed to be true. Most of the time, the floor couldn’t tell people apart, but it could remember shoe sizes and brands.
"So are you the only one around here who can speak?"
The ground thought for a moment and said, "Go down this street. There are a few older houses there. They're usually the loudest chatterers. They probably know more than I do."
Yu Yao stood up and looked outside. This was a residential area with houses on both ends of the street. She should be able to find it by walking along the street.
"Just go that way. I'll tell you when we get there. You're all standing on me anyway, so I'll know where you're going."
Yu Yao nodded.
Although the ground is still the ground, the divisions are different.
The street is the street, the house is the house, and usually the floor in the room doesn't talk, but the street outside is different.
Houses may be replaced every few years, demolished and rebuilt, but the road surface is rarely demolished.
Yu Yao returned to Bai Fang and began walking along the street according to the instructions on the ground.
"This area looks older, but there are not many people who can talk." Yu Yao looked at the houses on both sides. If you really want to say they are old, they are not particularly old. They are just not as new as the buildings in the commercial district, and they don't look as high-end.
The floor laughed a few times. "Of course not. The city is developing too fast. Every few years, a new generation of houses will be replaced. The house built on the land may become a new house or a commercial building in two years."
"The road in the neighboring street was just as shabby and dilapidated as mine a few years ago. Now it's been renovated and looks great. There's even a new zebra crossing, and someone cleans it every day. I'm so envious."
"That sounds good." Yu Yao shook her head disapprovingly. She didn't really understand the idea behind these buildings, so she changed the subject and started talking about something else.
"What kind of people usually live in this area?"
"What else can I be? I'm just someone who works from nine to five."
"Are there any very strange people appearing in this area?"
The floor thought for a few seconds, "You're the only one who's been acting weird lately."
"I'm not surprised at all. I just came here to look for someone." Yu Yao felt that she couldn't get anything out of it, so she started looking elsewhere.
"I'm just a floor person, watching the shoes walking around every day to kill time. Occasionally I chat with those people. How can I pay attention to so many people?"
"Besides me, who else can chat with you?" Yu Yao looked up and suddenly noticed that she had been talking to the floor all the way and had forgotten about Bai Fang next to her.
Bai Fang turned his head to look at her from time to time, and was very quiet.
She didn't say anything, but in the eyes of others, Yu Yao was just talking to herself.
Yu Yao laughed awkwardly twice. "I'm talking to the ground, asking about the situation around here."
Bai Fang nodded silently. Knowing that Yu Yao had this ability, it was indeed a bit strange to see her talking to herself and saying something incoherent.
"What did they say? Did they ask about the whereabouts of that roommate?" Bai Fang glanced at the ground below her feet. To her, it was just ordinary ground. She couldn't see anything strange about it. To Yu Yao, even the ground that could talk didn't seem like they were from the same world.
Maybe it would be normal to put him in a mental hospital.
Yu Yao glanced at the ground silently.
"Is that your friend next to you?" A voice came from the ground. "Your friend's high heels are pretty good. The sound they make when they walk is nice, much better than the sound made by some low-quality high heels."
Yu Yao coughed lightly and looked up at Bai Fang bewilderedly. "It said your high heels make nice sounds."
Bai Fang: ...
"I also asked about the roommate, but we don't usually see people on the ground, so it can't recognize faces. If we follow its instructions and move forward, we will encounter other houses that can talk." Yu Yao explained quickly.
"It's right up ahead, right there. See that fork in the road? There are a few small old houses and an old tree."
There was a sound coming from the ground. Yu Yao looked up and saw a fork in the road in front of her. There was an old tree in the middle of the intersection. The road led directly to the old tree and then branched off from the old tree into two old roads. It looked like they were roads from an even earlier time, and behind the roads were several old houses.
"Look, this is the house I mentioned." Yu Yao raised her hand and pointed, confirming that the information she heard from the ground was correct.
