Gu Cijiang put his clothes away and made sure they wouldn't get wet by the water running from the shower before walking to the sink and washing his face with ice water.
After the excitement caused by the misunderstanding died down, he prepared to take off his clothes and take a shower.
His eyes accidentally fell on the bathtub in the corner, and Gu Cijiang's hands paused slightly. The scene he saw in the guest room during the day emerged in his mind uncontrollably.
The bathroom filled with blood, the emaciated body in the bathtub, and that hideous bloody hole...
Fear instantly washed over him, and the small bathroom suddenly became eerie and spooky. He hurried to the bathroom door and flung it open.
Shen Anyan was sitting on a chair in the corner. When she heard the noise at the bathroom door, her eyes turned subconsciously. Noticing that the other person didn't look very good, she immediately stood up and strode towards him.
"What's wrong?" Shen Anyan held his hand, and as soon as he touched the other's skin, he felt a chill.
She frowned slightly, brought Gu Cijiang to the bedside, helped him sit down, patted his back gently, and then asked: "What happened? Don't be afraid, you can tell me slowly."
Gu Cijiang closed his eyes, barely recovered from the fear, and explained softly: "Nothing... I just remembered what happened this morning and I'm a little scared..."
Shen Anyan understood, and she comforted him: "It's okay, I'm here. If you are really scared, don't wash it."
Gu Cijiang hesitated for a moment. After all, he had been running around all day and his body was a little dirty. He was also sharing a room with a girl he had a crush on, so he really didn't want to be sloppy about hygiene.
Gu Cijiang took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm not really scared. I'll go slowly."
Chen Anyan did not force it. She thought for a moment and noticed the decorations and balls of yarn on the wall of the room. An idea suddenly came to her mind. She went forward and picked a blue one, untied the ball of yarn, cut a piece of yarn that was long enough, tied one end to her wrist and the other end to Gu Cijiang's wrist.
Gu Cijiang was slightly startled when he saw this.
"What is this for?"
Shen Anyan tied the two ends of the blue line and said with a smile: "Now we are connected. If you are afraid, just pull it. How about it? Will it be better this way?"
Gu Cijiang couldn't help but smile. He nodded: "Yeah, better."
After taking a shower, Shen Anyan walked to the closet and took out some spare bedding.
Gu Cijiang was sitting on the bed looking at his phone. Seeing this, he asked in confusion: "What are you doing with those?"
Shen Anyan said: "Let's sleep on the floor."
Only then did Gu Cijiang realize that there was only one bed in the room and the sofa was also a single sofa, so he really needed to consider how two people would sleep.
Although there is a blanket on the floor and the heating is sufficient, sleeping on the floor should not be too uncomfortable, but it sounds a bit pitiful anyway.
Gu Cijiang hesitated for a moment, but stopped him: "No, we can sleep together."
Oh wow, that's exactly what I wanted.
Shen Anyan thought to herself, but she couldn't show it too obviously, so she casually said, "Is it okay? Do you mind?"
Gu Cijiang said: "It's okay, and with so many things happening today, it's more peaceful to sleep together."
Chen Anyan slid down the stairs and said, "Well, if I snatch your blanket in the middle of the night, you don't have to be embarrassed. Just take it back."
Gu Cijiang couldn't help but smile, but after they lay down on the bed and covered themselves with the quilt, he suddenly realized that there was a spare quilt in the cabinet. And didn't the other party take out the quilt when he planned to sleep on the floor?
But it seemed a bit embarrassing to raise this question now, so he simply closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it.
————
Gu Cijiang's biological clock has always been very accurate. Even though he didn't go to bed early yesterday, he still woke up on time at seven o'clock.
The side he slept on was close to the balcony, and when he opened his eyes he could see the morning light shining through the gaps in the curtains.
It's already morning.
He subconsciously prepared to get up, but he felt the restraints on his body.
He felt a little heavy around his waist, abdomen and legs. Even through the clothes, he could still feel the warmth of his skin touching his. The little sleepiness that Gu Cijiang had left disappeared in an instant.
Shen Anyan's body was pressed against his back, and the other party's arms were wrapped around his waist in an extremely intimate manner, with one leg resting on him.
...Gu Cijiang closed his eyes.
The question is whether to just get up and leave, or pretend not to know and wait for the other person to get up first.
He struggled with his conscience for a while, and finally chose to move away from the other party's confinement little by little, trying not to wake the other party, and then got out of bed quietly.
After he changed his clothes and washed up in the bathroom, he came out to see Shen Anyan had also woken up. He was rubbing his eyes and turning off the vibrate mode on his phone.
She looked a little sleepy, and it was not until she saw Gu Cijiang that she perked up a little and said, "Good morning, Cijiang."
This scene was truly special, like an intimate moment only experienced by lovers. Gu Cijiang's earlobes turned slightly red again. He responded vaguely, then after a moment's thought, he finally replied, "Good morning..."
As a result, before he could finish saying "good morning", he saw the other person half-closed his eyes, groping to get clothes from the chair next to him and preparing to change.
Gu Cijiang hurriedly said: "Hey, wait..."
As he spoke, his ears flushed as he turned around and walked quickly into the bathroom.
Shen Anyan's voice sounded outside the door: "What's wrong?"
Gu Cijiang said: "Nothing... Well, let me know when you've changed your clothes."
After Shen Anyan changed her clothes, she suddenly realized that she and Gu Cijiang were not in a relationship yet, so it seemed a little inappropriate just now?
She coughed lightly, rarely offending the innocent boy's embarrassment, and shouted into the bathroom: "I'm fine, you can come out."
Only then did Gu Cijiang walk out of the bathroom.
Shen Anyan got out of bed and looked left and right but couldn't find his slippers. He looked around the bed in confusion before he saw his shoes on the carpet on the other side.
As she put them on, she murmured in surprise, "How did the shoes get here..."
When she said this, she suddenly realized something and glanced towards where she got out of bed...
If she remembered correctly, the place where she was lying when she woke up should have been the same place where Gu Cijiang slept yesterday.
No wonder I couldn’t find my slippers after getting out of bed.
Shen Anyan coughed awkwardly and looked at Gu Cijiang: "Sorry... I don't sleep well. I hope I didn't disturb you last night."
Gu Cijiang lied with his eyes open: "No, I slept well."
Actually, it wasn't a lie. Apart from the shock of waking up in the other person's arms in the morning, he did sleep well.
That's good. Shen Anyan breathed a sigh of relief, washed up in the bathroom, and then went out with Gu Cijiang.
The instructor sat in the hallway, a faint dark bruise under her eyes. Hearing the door open, she quickly stood up and turned to look at the source. Seeing two students coming out, she sat back down in her chair.
"So early?" The instructor greeted with a smile.
Shen Anyan nodded, and seeing that the other party looked sleepy, he couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, have you been sitting here all night?"
The instructor nodded: "Otherwise I would be worried about you."
Shen Anyan said: "Please take a rest for a while, I will keep watch for you."
The instructor did not refuse. She was indeed very sleepy. She had asked Chen Anyan to remember to wake her up after everyone arrived, so she just lay down on the carpet in the corridor and fell asleep.
It was obvious that the other person was really tired. As soon as his head touched the ground, he fell asleep...or it was possible that he fainted from exhaustion.
Shen Anyan asked Gu Cijiang to go back to the room and get a pillow, and put it under the teacher's head. She moved gently so as not to wake him up, but even if she moved more forcefully, she wouldn't be able to wake him up, after all, the instructor was sleeping very soundly.
After doing all this, Shen Anyan thought about it, took out his mobile phone and clicked into the competition group, editing the information that he could come out to gather after getting up, and the instructor would be waiting in the corridor.
Shortly after this message was sent, a door opened. After opening the door, He Qingtian didn't rush out. Instead, he observed the corridor for a while. After seeing Shen Anyan and the others, he walked out with the other two roommates.
"Good morning...Why is the teacher sleeping on the floor?" He Qingtian asked.
Shen Anyan explained: "She was guarding the corridor all night yesterday. She just rested when we two came out. She probably didn't even have the energy to go back to her room."
It's normal to think about it. After all, the instructor first led them to try to leave from the back mountain yesterday morning, and then spent the whole day outside looking for the missing students. After coming back, they didn't even have a break. They had to deal with the bodies and keep watch. Even an iron man would be exhausted.
After Liang Xiaonuo and the other three came out, even though everyone was present, no one woke up the teacher.
Therefore, when the instructor woke up and opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was her students sitting in a circle around her, watching her sleep quietly.
Instructor:……?
I almost scared myself to death.
She rubbed her brows, and after she was fully awake, she asked, "How long have I slept?"
Shen Anyan said: “Not long ago, teacher, you only slept for three hours.”
The instructor said, "That's enough. Now let's go to the living room. You stay there. I'm going to check the villa's network cables today... By the way, have you had breakfast?"
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, the instructor rubbed his face, sorted out his thoughts, and asked again: "How much food do you have left?"
Shen Anyan said: "Uh... I didn't bring any food when I came here, so I bought it because I was hungry."
Zhou Tiandao: "I... brought a pack of coffee and a pack of tea."
Among the remaining people, Lin Shuang brought a box of chocolates, while Liang Xiaonuo and the other three only had some scattered snacks, not even enough for a full meal.
It didn't sound very optimistic, and the instructor's expression became serious.
When it was the last two people's turn, He Qingtian said, "I still have two bags of bread and a carton of milk left in my bag. I only drank one carton."
Gu Cijiang said: "I brought a box of instant biscuits and three bags of candy, both of which are unopened."
The instructor's originally worried expression immediately turned into joy after hearing what the two said. He smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't worry anymore."
Shen Anyan was shocked: "Did you bring so much food? And Qingtian, you have such a small suitcase, and you actually packed a box of milk?"
He Qingtian smiled and said, "I've already told you I'm good at storing things."
Gu Cijiang explained: "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to the food here, so I prepared some extra food. I didn't expect it would come in handy."
