Chapter 025 Let’s Sleep Together
Keos was studying the map in his room to make sure tomorrow's route was foolproof. This was what he did every night - although they were taking the official road, there were many people and eyes, and if any emergency occurred, that was definitely not what Keos wanted to see.
After all, sitting in the carriage was Bai Su, a farmer certified by the Holy Son of the Vatican, and the only person who was currently confident that he could grow high-yield crops to withstand the food crisis.
Just as I was thinking about it, he came.
“Squeak—”
Keos looked towards the door vigilantly, only to see the wooden door being gently pushed open a crack from the outside, and a small black head poked in.
"Hi, Keos, good evening." Bai Su leaned against the door frame and said with a smile.
"Good evening, please come in." During non-working hours, the Centaur youth's smile was like melting icebergs, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.
Now the door was completely opened, Bai Su rushed in with his small bag on his back, and then closed the door with a bang.
Seeing that he looked guilty, Keos couldn't help but chuckle twice.
The black-haired young man found a chair and sat down, then asked the centaur standing in front of the table: "What are you doing?"
"Looking at the map." Keos put the map down, poured two cups of black tea, and walked over to hand Bai Su one. "It's so late, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
He was asking even though he knew the answer.
When Bai Su was still hanging on the door frame, Keos noticed the luggage bag on his back and guessed that it was the previous conversation that made Bai Su decide to sleep in a different place tonight.
But Keos did not expect that he was prepared to spend one night with him - as the central figure of this business trip, as long as Bai Su asked for a new room, anyone would satisfy him.
But it must be said that Keos is in a very good mood now. Bai Su's decision to come to his room and sleep together makes Keos very happy.
So he got into a bad mood and insisted that he say it out loud.
"I'd like you to take me in for one night." The black-haired young man blinked and showed him the bag. "I've thought about it. You're right. Even though I think Eli and I are very similar, he is still a female half-orc. I can't touch him in the name of petting a cat. It won't be good for his reputation either."
Keos smiled. "What did he say?"
"He didn't say anything, just rolled his eyes at me." Bai Su smiled awkwardly, "It's late at night, and I'm embarrassed to ask the innkeeper to help me get another room, so I had to come to you!"
His black eyes looked unusually moist and sparkling in the candlelight, reflecting many joyful factors. He looked like a piece of cake covered with icing sugar, and he said softly, "Will you take me in?"
"Of course, I'd be happy to." Keos said almost with a sigh.
…
The next day, we still had to rush back.
Before getting into the car, Eli inexplicably gave Keos a meaningful look.
Bai Su pulled Lacus's sleeve: "Do you understand what he means?"
Keos: “…”
Keos felt as if he had understood it. He wasn't sure, but he felt that was the meaning.
It means that he is not comfortable telling Bai Su directly.
So he shook his head and said, "I don't understand. Maybe my eyelid is twitching."
Bai Su was completely confused, but Uncle Snow Leopard was already urging them to go in the car. He could only give Keos a look that said "Let's talk later" and got in the car quickly.
Bai Su placed the last few cookies on the small table, and first respectfully apologized to Uncle Snow Leopard who had been molested all day yesterday, and fed the tea of suitable temperature into Uncle Snow Leopard's furry mouth.
Then he opened the window frame, lifted the curtain, and handed a carrot-flavored biscuit to the captain of the Centaur guards who was standing in formation beside the carriage.
Feeling that he had done everything perfectly, Bai Su cleared his throat and said, "Then let's set off now."
As he said, the team started slowly.
On the day of sowing in Oat Town, Bai Su's farming spirit was awakened again, and he was so excited that he left a deep impression on everyone. Unknowingly, he had become the core figure of the team.
The snow leopard on the couch snorted twice and said, "You're getting more and more powerful. I still remember the first time I saw you, you were standing in the yard, like a thief, groping your way home, and tossing around in the house all night. I don't know what you were doing."
Bai Su was shocked.
Eli was talking about the day he first crossed over to this world.
It turned out that he was the first person to see him!
But Bai Su, who had been on the verge of being exposed so many times, had already mastered the art of lying. He quickly adjusted his expression, put on a smile again, and casually changed the subject: "Really? That must be because I haven't adjusted to the time difference yet - you know, the process of moving from the Western Continent to the Eastern Continent is exhausting. Even now, I'm not used to the sun rising at six in the morning."
In some places in the Western Continent, daylight doesn't come until around ten o'clock.
When the Western Continent was mentioned, Eli's attention was indeed diverted.
He licked his paw and nodded in agreement, "Yes, I'm not used to it either. I used to like to go to the forest around nine o'clock in the evening to catch a rabbit, then bring it to the cliff, grill it, and wait for the sunset at ten o'clock."
In reality, Bai Su had never been to the Western Continent, but in his spare time, he would read books about local customs and practices to familiarize himself with the common sense of this world. In his opinion, the time patterns of the Western Continent were very similar to those of the Western Regions in his original world.
At this time, someone who had actually been to the Western Continent spoke up—
After a night of careful consideration, Keos decided to use his wits to solve the problem. He naturally joined in the conversation between Baisu and Eli: "It's because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. I've been to the Holy Mountain, where day and night are completely reversed. In winter, there are even long nights that last for several months..."
Eli was also interested by what he said: "Really? Then I must find an opportunity to go there and take risks!"
…
Time passed slowly as the three of them had a harmonious conversation.
Throughout the day, Keos's mood was very stable, which made Bai Su feel relieved - he was really afraid that Keos would be unhappy because he was close to his new friends.
Keos is the person who has given Bai Su the most kindness and help since he came to this world. He really cares about Keos and doesn't want to have any unpleasantness with him.
Obviously, Bai Su was worrying too much.
When in a social state, Keos is definitely a very charismatic person. With just a few words, he made Eli, who originally didn't get along well with him, full of curiosity about the anecdotes he described.
So much so that when they returned to Boeing Town at dusk amidst such laughter and joy, Bai Su's heart was filled with reluctance to leave.
Help! How come this centaur is so good at telling stories!

The author has something to say:
Centaurs sleep lying down, just like humans lying on their sides, but they are very large and need an XXXL size bed.
