Who is not able to do it?
Chen Yao had an expression on her face that seemed difficult to describe. "I think I may need some time to recuperate, because..."
Seeing that she paused for a long time, Xu Zhi asked, "Why?"
Chen Yao: "Just..."
She lowered her head dejectedly, her voice lowering a few notches. "For the past few years, I've been in a very bad working environment. I'm very wary of the environment and people around me. I usually suppress myself and feel rejection and disgust towards the people I work with. After all, those people who work with me, who work under Zhou Cheng, all do some very bad things..."
Xu Zhi understood that she had been working with Zhou Cheng for the past few years and had witnessed many unbearable and dark things. She often needed to numb herself, adjust her mentality and state, and suppress herself to the extreme.
"So, for people like my colleagues, I would be more..."
What to compare?
Of course it is rather weak.
Chen Yao stopped at the point, and Xu Zhi understood immediately.
After thinking for a while, he said, "During this period, I basically talked to you about work as soon as I got home from work. It's my fault."
Chen Yao shook her head. "No, those are basically what I want to talk about. Although I'm recuperating at home, I also want to return to work as soon as possible. It's always good to know more."
Xu Zhi rubbed her head, held her in his arms and said softly: "It's okay, no matter what, as long as you are happy."
Chen Yao buried herself in his arms, the sound of his heartbeat beside her ears, and her mood became more stable.
After the two of them hugged each other in this position for a long time, Chen Yao suddenly raised her head and looked at him and asked, "Do you think I look like a man who is inhumane now? In this case, should I drink some Chinese medicine to regulate my body?"
Xu Zhi held her waist and said, "No need."
Then he seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes fixed on her bright red lips, and he said gently and coaxingly: "Perhaps... you can try to fight poison with poison."
Chen Yao didn't understand: "What do you mean by fighting poison with poison?"
Xu Zhi's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he asked, "Do you want to try it? If you don't like it, you can stop at any time."
Chen Yao seemed to understand what he meant and pursed her lips, "Then... let's give it a try."
The bathroom door was suddenly slammed shut, as if to block out all sound.
…
Auntie waited downstairs for a long time, but still didn't receive any news from Chen Yao saying she wanted to take a shower.
She carefully looked at the time displayed on her mobile phone several times, and after confirming that it was already past her usual bathing time, she couldn't help but start to ponder, but she couldn't figure it out.
After a while, she decided to go upstairs to take a look and ask.
But just as she walked upstairs and was about to pass by the bathroom, she suddenly found that the light was on and the door was closed.
The aunt's eyes moved, as if she understood something, and she quickly and silently walked downstairs.
From now on, she would just wait for news downstairs. If she was called, she would come up, and if not, she wouldn't have to come up.
After figuring it out, she went back to her room humming a little tune with her cell phone.
At this moment, in the bathroom——
The heat keeps rising...
Breathing entangled ambiguously...
Chen Yao and Xu Zhi are like talented players who have just entered the novice village in the game. They hold weapons in their hands and try here and there. Once they find some remarkable feedback, they will be extremely excited, and then... they can't help but repeat the cycle in places where they can get positive and negative feedback.
Of course, the game map is incredibly novel, diverse, and vast, and it's impossible to explore it all in just one night, so...
Tonight, we only need to do some preliminary exploration in the Novice Village, and leave the rest of the progress to time.
Anyway, time is long and the future... is still very long.
