He came from the bell tonight

Chapter 46 Greedy Wolf

Sunlight penetrated into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and then dimmed when Su Ling's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He fell into a dark sleep and dreamed many strange things.Sometimes it is the long dark depths, sometimes it is white room and cold machinery, more often it is Xiao Huaiyan.In the dream, he walked a long, long way and never stopped when he felt tired.

It seemed that there was only a thin layer of glass separating him from the secret that was about to move in the depths of his consciousness.

But no matter what, it can't be fully touched.

He kept sinking and being submerged in intertwined dreams.The icy breath passing through his body gradually became warmer, enveloping him and making him give up struggling.

Until the smell of disinfectant appears.

It had been a long time since he had smelled something so alarming.

The smoky purple eyes opened, sober and clear.

"...Are you awake?" A familiar voice came from above his head.

It was only then that Su Ling realized that the upper part of the bed board had been raised by ten centimeters. His forehead rested on the shoulder of the person next to him, and his fingers unconsciously grabbed the thin and soft sleeves, approaching the source of warmth.

Su Ling let go of his hand, moved a little away, and found that Xiao Huaiyan had spread the book on the quilt.

"The corridors here are disinfected on time every afternoon."

Su Ling knew that Xiao Huaiyan was referring to the source of the disinfectant.

He sat up, stared blankly for a moment, then looked towards the window.It was completely covered by the automatic shutter.When it was slowly opened, the light instantly streamed into the room.

...Is it already afternoon? So he slept for so long.

Su Ling turned sideways and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Xiao Huaiyan was taken aback for a moment, first nodded, and then suddenly shook his head when he was about to speak.His voice seemed a little weak: "The wound is no longer painful, but it needs to be recuperated for a while. There is nothing here, and the food is also terrible. I still want you to wrong you to stay with me here."

Su Ling recalled the message from the terminal yesterday and told him: "Mr. Ahman said that the academy will have a sailing ship come to Toyota Star to pick us up in three days."

The smile disappeared from Xiao Huaiyan's pale lips, and he seemed a little disappointed.

Su Ling saw a plate on the cabinet against the wall, and there were two nutrient supplements, tomato-flavored.It is indeed not delicious.He remembered that when he entered the hospital yesterday, there seemed to be a kitchen at the end of the passage on the first floor.

"I'm going to prepare some food." Su Ling said seriously.

Xiao Huaiyan stared at his exposed arm, the previous wound had completely disappeared, leaving only light red marks.

After he left, Xiao Huaiyan glanced sideways slightly, and moved his stiff shoulders.

The sheets next to her were wrinkled.

When Su Ling fell asleep, he was more serene than usual, looking spotless, and had nothing to do with this world.He should have been like this, and it was completely different from that inexplicable dream.

But Su Ling was also full of vigilance, as long as a slight movement seemed to wake him up.

Xiao Huaiyan attributed it to the contract.

... If there is no contract, at least Su Ling will not be involved in danger because of him.

That way, Suling can also sleep well.

He opened the terminal and thought for a moment what information he should call.

After a while, a vibrating sound indicated that someone was looking for him.

It's the people from the military department, and the captain of the police station named Wang Yunxi is also there.They double-checked with him a little bit about what was going on in the hive.

"To a certain extent, they are all illusions," Xiao Huaiyan emphasized. "Even if it matches the existing understanding of mimics, I'm not sure if it's completely real."

Opposite is a high-ranking person in the military department, Xiao Shiyue's former department, Xiao Huaiyan has seen it before.The other party smiled kindly: "The illusion you mentioned also enhanced our understanding of the enemy."

Before the end, Wang Yunxi said that she was busy dispatching, and asked Zheng Kanzhi to bring some special products of Toyota Star to him and Suling.

Xiao Huaiyan was inexplicably strange.

The sheriff, whom he met for the first time yesterday, seemed overly enthusiastic—as if they knew each other well.But when she spoke, there was a hint of respect in her tone.It's not the kind of flattery out of his special status.

Xiao Huaiyan speculated that maybe it was because the experience of being hijacked by the mimetic insects and successfully escaping was too shocking.

Also, to himself, it is really bizarre.

In the corridor on the first floor of the hospital, Su Ling was led to the kitchen by a nurse.

"No one can use the kitchen now, and there are a lot of fresh ingredients, so you can use whatever you want." The nurse sent him to the door.

As soon as he walked in, he found that Feiran had just turned on the oven.

He sniffed and smelled a very sweet smell.

"I made egg tarts, do you want to have a taste?" He laid out the tray generously and handed one to Su Ling.

Fragrant soft, crisp sweet.

Su Ling thought that Xiao Huaiyan would also like such things.

Seeing that he was interested, Fei Ran told him the ingredients and steps of making it in detail.He also said that Si Jinyu was frightened and needed to accompany her, so he took the egg tart and left.

Su Ling slowly found out what he needed, and was silent for a while facing the oven and various kitchen utensils.

In the end, he threw what he made into the oven in a decent manner, and then dug out a fresh steak from the refrigerator.

About an hour later, Su Ling took his work upstairs with satisfaction.

When passing the corner, he saw Feiran sitting on a bench in the corridor holding a cold egg tart.His face was red, as if he had been beaten.

When there was movement from the closed door, Fei Ran's eyes lit up and he stood up immediately.The person inside said something briefly, which made him look surprised, and walked in cautiously.

Su Ling put the food he had prepared in front of Xiao Huaiyan.

The other party hesitantly forked a dark object and observed it for a long time.

"what is this?"

Su Ling remembered the words on the sealed bag: "S-grade beef, a special product in District A of Toyota Star."

He completely copied Xiao Huaiyan's usual practice.

As for what came out completely different, Su Ling unilaterally believes that there are many factors involved, including the stove, spatula, butter, weather and so on.

But he feels that as food, the difference in appearance does not explain any problems.

Xiao Huaiyan was silent for a while, the meat on the fork shook until there was only a little dregs left, and then slowly put it into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Su Ling's voice was rarely full of curiosity.

Xiao Huaiyan looked at the plate of food, and seriously commented: "It's different from what I usually eat."

"It's all for you," Su Ling asked politely, "Can I have a taste?"

Xiao Huaiyan hesitated for a moment, and said generously: "Of course. But, Su Ling, can you help me go to the vending machine downstairs to buy a bottle of hand sanitizer?"

He spread his palms, showing a look of enduring pain: "I always feel unclean."

As soon as Su Ling went out, Xiao Huaiyan quickly squeezed the unopened tomato-flavored nutrient into his mouth, swallowed it with orange juice, and then sent a plate of dark things into the automatic cleaning machine, treating it as nothing. Put the news on as if nothing had happened.

When Su Ling came back, there were only bare plates left.

Xiao Huaiyan said in an extremely calm and innocent tone: "I'm really hungry, so I didn't leave it for you."

Fortunately, Su Ling didn't bother with him, leaning against the window and slowly eating the nutritional supplements.

"I also saw shrimp," Su Ling paused, "if you want to eat."

Cold sweat almost broke out on Xiao Huaiyan's forehead, and he hurriedly stopped Su Ling's footsteps: "No need, no need, I'm really not hungry—"

At about this time, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

A group of uninvited guys barged in, with grilled chicken and fish, asparagus soup, and even a bag of cakes.

"It's all Toyota Star products," Zheng Kanzhi explained solemnly, "It's all to wish Junior Brother Xiao a speedy recovery."

"Yes, yes, boss, if you want to celebrate, there will be the best-selling local sorghum wine served—" Lian Xiao wanted to count all the things present.

Even Xizi took Yunqing with her, carrying four fruit baskets each.

"These four are specially for Suling. Those people said where they came from, oh yes, it's the village next to Hongsha Mountain. Hey, why is there another one that says Wager's name?"

Ou Chuchu saluted: "Report to the boss, the Imperial College has successfully completed the task and ended the battle before the aid of the alliance army reached the battlefield in S area."

Her move brought salutes from all around her.

Xiao Huaiyan's skeptical gaze passed the nearly twenty faces blocking the doorway, but each of them was sincere and straightforward, without concealing it.

strangeness.These students looked at him differently than before.Did the fact that I escaped from death really have such a big impact?

It may be that the defense of Imperial College also played an inspiring force.

The party in the name of recovery lasted until late into the night.

After finally sending these people away, the house finally became quiet again.

Su Ling has been leaning in the corner, staring at the lake outside the window in a daze.He saw his own shadow on the glass, and remembered the photo that the old village head had shown him in the temple on Hongsha Mountain.

"Would you like some fruit?" Xiao Huaiyan's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Su Ling shook his head, and Xiao Huaiyan handed him a disposable automatic tooth cleaner.

"Is there really anyone in this world who looks exactly the same?"

"Impossible," Xiao Huaiyan wiped the doorknob with a sterile paper towel, "Even if it is a one-to-one sculpted bionic human, it will be different.... What's wrong?"

Su Ling didn't say anything.

After the two of them finished washing, it was a bit late again.

Just as Su Ling was about to turn off the lights, Xiao Huaiyan pulled out a long golden chain from under the pillow.

"I almost forgot. You kept it last night, so I took it away first." Xiao Huaiyan returned the pocket watch to him, and couldn't help asking, "You always carry it with you?"

Su Ling didn't speak, it was a tacit agreement.

Xiao Huaiyan looked in a good mood.He said lazily as usual: "Don't face danger alone again in the future."

To Su Ling, this sentence has no subject, it is like an inexplicable self-report.So he said: "With the contract, I will save you."

It can be seen with the naked eye that Xiao Huaiyan's face darkened a little.

The moment Suling turned off the lights, the room was plunged into darkness, but the moonlight was still shining on the lake outside the window.

"I will find a way, that contract." Xiao Huaiyan promised very solemnly.

Su Ling was so sleepy that he shrank into the bed and stopped thinking.

But Xiao Huaiyan tossed and turned, but never fell asleep.He also wanted to disturb Suling.

"I've never slept in the same bed with someone else. Yesterday was the first time." Xiao Huaiyan seemed to be thinking behind his back, "What about you?"

Su Ling's eyelids were heavy.

He heard Xiao Huaiyan ask again without giving up.

A flat voice replied softly: "No."

There was finally silence behind him.Despite the sign of a sharp drop in air pressure, Su Ling closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xiao Huaiyan thought that he was too greedy.Maybe Su Ling just really likes that pocket watch.

Even so, it doesn't seem to matter.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Xiao, is there a possibility that we really don't have to doubt our moral bottom line, it's really not being a mistress, it's fair competition.

Suling:?
