After the meal, everyone washed their own dishes.
Cui Xinyue refused Zhou Cheng's help: "I'd rather wash it myself than let others think I'm taking advantage of this little bit of work."
The other four members of Zhou Cheng's team were his close friends, and they would sometimes discuss Cui Xinyue in private.
She said that if it weren't for her special abilities, Zhou Cheng would have dumped her long ago.
She has a strange temper, so you have to give in to her in everything, and you don't have to ask her to pay for things or do any work.
Zhou Cheng didn't hide any of this from Cui Xinyue; he told her everything as soon as he turned around, but he didn't say who told him.
Jiang Shuyin smiled but remained silent.
Cui Xinyue: "I'm 27 this year, and Zhou Cheng is almost 30. My family is still pressuring me to get married and have children. I really don't know what they're thinking. It's the end of the world, and they still have these old ideas."
Jiang Shuyin smiled and shook her head: "The feudal dynasties have only been gone for a hundred years."
"What are you two talking about?" Zhou Cheng suddenly came over and stared at the two of them.
Cui Xinyue calmly dried her hands: "It's nothing, let's talk about how to arrange the accommodations for tonight. There are only four bedrooms in total across the two floors, right?"
This family's house is large, but it's used for other things: a gym, a swimming pool, a movie room. The two large bedrooms are still slept in by the couple separately, and the remaining two children's rooms have bunk beds, which can be barely slept in for shorter children.
However, Zhou Cheng's team consisted entirely of men, around 1.8 meters tall, with Xie Yin and Qin Shi being even taller at 1.9 meters.
Jiang Shuyin and Cui Xinyue glanced around; they were the shortest two people there, at 1.7 meters and 1.65 meters respectively.
Cui Xinyue spoke first: "Let me and Xiaoyin go to the children's room."
Zhou Cheng was the first to object: "I can only fall asleep while holding you!"
Xie Yin: "I want to be with her."
He pointed at Jiang Shuyin, while the others glanced at him silently.
They had already assumed they were a couple, so they didn't make a fuss about it.
Jiang Shuyin looked at him, her feelings somewhat complicated.
She definitely preferred to be with him rather than with Cui Xinyue.
After a full half hour of discussion, the accommodation plan was finally finalized: two children's rooms would be for the two couples, and the rest of the people would sleep in the master bedroom. If there wasn't enough room in the bed, they could sleep on the floor. There were extra blankets in the wardrobe.
Jiang Shuyin and Xie Yin went to the children's room. The bunk bed inside wasn't actually that small; you could still stretch your legs out if you slept at an angle.
Jiang Shuyin put her bag on the chair and compared the two; the lower bunk was much wider than the upper bunk.
"You sleep on the bottom."
Xie Yin rarely refuted her.
She took off her hoodie, revealing a fitted black short-sleeved shirt underneath, which made her head appear even thinner and more delicate.
There are also leggings underneath my jeans, but it's not time to take them off yet.
She went to the bathroom to wash her face, looked up at the mirror, and saw a familiar yet strange person in the mirror. She looked even better than before.
Her eyes were large and bright, and her eyebrows, which she had groomed before leaving, perfectly framed her face. Her eyelashes had become thicker and longer, which could prevent water droplets from getting into her eyes.
Looking closer, the pores on my face appear even finer.
Jiang Shuyi tugged at the corners of her lips, her brows furrowed slightly, and her entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change.
Before, when she made this expression, everyone would feel sorry for her and sympathize with her. Now... they'll probably be wary of her.
After wiping the excess water from her face, Jiang Shuyin turned and left.
Back in his room, Xie Yin sat upright on the bed, his head level with the top bunk. He only looked up when she entered.
"Can I turn off the light?" She lay down on the bed, with the light switch right next to her.
Xie Yin: "Hmm."
In the darkness, she took off her outer trousers, pulled them aside, covered herself with the blanket, and closed her eyes.
Thanks to genetic evolution, she fell asleep faster than she expected.
Similarly, Xie Yin could also observe her openly and honestly.
The system hiding in Jiang Shuyin's mind trembled and dared not make any move.
Xie Yin opened her bag, let the children out, and called Fei Tao over to talk to her about something.
Heimei, holding her younger brother's hand, struggled to climb up to the upper bunk.
Qingwu and Lanhan circled around them.
Qingwu: "Why do you care about him? Call me brother and I'll take you up there."
Heimei: "No, he's my younger brother."
Qingwu: "We're not even fathers, are you being disobedient?"
Lan Han: "Are you being disobedient?"
Hei Mei rolled her eyes at them and gripped ICE's hand tightly.
After finally climbing up, Qingwu and Lanhan secured the best spot.
Heimei had no choice but to sleep with her younger brother under their mother's warm palm.
ICE doesn't like the heat, but he doesn't want to disappoint his sister's kindness.
lower berth--
Xie Yin and his daughter were having a secret conversation.
After hearing her father's doubts, Fei Tao exclaimed, "You're so silly, Father! Mother must have thought you were disgusted with her. Luckily, you kissed her again afterward."
Xie Yin: "I see."
There was a moment of silence.
Fei Tao asked, "Father, when can I transform into a mimic?"
Xie Yin pinched her: "10 to 15 years, which can be shortened in special circumstances."
What constitutes a special circumstance?
"I don't know."
As they were talking, the house suddenly began to shake.
It was as if an earthquake or tsunami had struck.
Jiang Shuyin was awakened by the shock and found that the window glass was shattered and several children were blown around.
She quickly brought out the safe house.
Zhou Cheng and the others also woke up.
The house could collapse at any moment, and the outside was even more unsafe.
"Run!" Cui Xinyue shouted.
The streetlights outside the window were still on, and the towering, undulating giants in the distance turned out to be monstrous waves, sweeping towards us!
In the face of giant waves, everything seems so small and fragile.
Without a second thought, everyone quickly got on the bus.
Jiang Shuyin was so focused on the safe house in her hands that she didn't even take the clothes she had taken off.
The passengers, still shaken, looked out the window. The waves were surging incredibly fast, threatening to overtake the vehicle, and there was a traffic jam ahead.
Screams, curses, and cries suddenly rang in my ears.
The sky suddenly darkened, and Jiang Shuyin looked up.
—It is a wave.
The next second, all sound was mercilessly swallowed up by the water.
"Jump down! The car door will be flooded and won't open!" Zhou Cheng shouted.
Jiang Shuyin, who was leaning against the door, jumped down without thinking so as not to delay Xie Yin's escape.
The moment the water submerged us, everything went silent.
Visibility would suddenly go dark, and every time she managed to surface, a higher wave would sweep her back in.
When the storm subsided, she was still alive.
However, when I turned around and looked around, there was no one there, as if I had fallen into the vast and boundless deep sea.
The cold, loneliness, and fear of the unknown enveloped her, making it hard for her to breathe.
She could only grit her teeth and keep looking around, trying to figure out where she could get ashore.
She gripped the safe house tightly in her hand.
Jiang Shuyin didn't have high hopes and called out:
"system."
