After about twenty minutes, Lin Miaoke finally sauntered out of the bathroom.
Her face was full of grievance.
She knew that she couldn't completely bla him for what happened earlier, but being seen fully like that really didn't feel good.
"Sorry, it happened so suddenly. I didn't have ti."
"Enough, forget everything you just saw."
"I can't forget."
"You..."
Lin Miaoke felt like she'd swallowed a fly and got choked all at once.
What's with this guy? Normally, when people encounter a situation like this, they would instantly agree to make it go away and not let it continue to be awkward.
But this guy is doing just the opposite.
"It was quite nice to look at, probably this is the only ti in my life I'll see sothing like that. It'd be a sha to forget."
Oh great, Xiaofan's shaless personality erges again.
Profiting from the situation and then acting coy about it is his usual style.
"You bastard, if we weren't here, I'd definitely chop you into pieces."
"I'm complinting your good figure, why are you angry?"
"Thank you very much for your complints, but I don't need them." Lin Miaoke was also furious now, and rude words just ca out.
Anyway, he's a foreigner; he probably doesn't understand what I'm scolding him about.
Xiaofan just smiled lightly, knowing he'd annoyed this fiery lady cop, and didn't push any further. He turned around and gently took off his clothes.
"What are you doing now?" Seeing his muscular arms and the thick bandages, Lin Miaoke asked instinctively.
"My clothes are wet, trying to avoid touching the wound." Xiaofan replied with a wry smile.
"The bandages are wet, too. Let change them for you."
"No need, removing them will be difficult to handle, and it's no big deal. Besides, I don't have enough bandages left."
"I'm sorry..." Lin Miaoke realized that if she hadn't turned on the shower earlier, he wouldn't have gotten his body wet.
Looking at those thick bandages, she knew most of those injuries were sustained for her sake, so guilt quickly rose in her chest.
Hearing Lin Miaoke's apology, Xiaofan turned his head to look over.
Very unexpected, her stubborn nature had actually led her to apologize. This was a sign of maturity, perhaps.
Noticing Xiaofan staring at her, Lin Miaoke felt slightly uncomfortable, averting her gaze. She didn't know why, but every ti she t his eyes, her face would feel slightly warm.
This shy deanor made Xiaofan pause for a mont again; the beautiful image from before was still swirling in his mind—her pure and flawless skin, delicate small face, large watery eyes, and hair tips wet from the droplets. If she wasn't a cop and was just in the world, she'd probably be a supermodel or a star actor.
"Get so rest early. We'll stay another day tomorrow, and if by early morning the day after there's still no rescue coming, we'll just have to make a break for it."
Xiaofan said lightly, moving a chair to lean against the wall. It seed he intended to leave the bed for Lin Miaoke tonight.
Lin Miaoke walked over to the bed. Logically, since he's injured, he should have the most comfortable spot. But because she's a woman, he's caring for her this way.
Watching his movents, given the pain in his back, propping against the chair would be very uncomfortable.
After changing positions three tis, Xiaofan still couldn't rest peacefully.
Having no other choice, Xiaofan could only nap on the table.
Due to his tall stature, lying on a small table looked terribly awkward.
"Hey, you co sleep on the bed. I slept quite well today." Lin Miaoke said softly.
"I'm fine, you sleep."
"You matter to my life now; if you're not well-rested, how can you have the strength to get out tomorrow? Co up."
"I'm a man."
"Forget your male chauvinism. Get up..."
"No."
Once again, there they were, starting to argue over such trivial matters.
If they kept quarreling, they probably wouldn't get any sleep.
"Co on, get up, I said lie here."
At her words, Xiaofan suddenly raised his head from the table, his eyes sparkling at Lin Miaoke.
Alright, when Lin Miaoke saw Xiaofan's expectant gaze, she imdiately regretted it. Was this guy just waiting for her to say this?
"Oh dear, how can I be so bold? n and won shouldn't be so close. What if this gets out, how will you ever find a partner?"
Though he said this, why was he chuckling while walking towards the bed?
Sleazy, extrely sleazy.
Lin Miaoke felt so vexed. Could she change her mind while there was still ti?
"Better leave the bed for you; I..."
Just as she was about to step away, Xiaofan suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"It's okay, just make do for the night, having a place to lie down is better than lying in a ditch."
He was a puzzle, serious one mont, playful the next; really hard to figure out what he was thinking.
But when she thought of the ditch, Lin Miaoke couldn't help but rember being trapped in the valley with Xiaofan, truly no idea such despair would beco an unforgettable beautiful mory.
Oh well, given the unusual circumstances now, they've got to be flexible.
"Lie on the inside." Finally, Lin Miaoke had no choice but to let Xiaofan lie inside first.
Xiaofan didn't argue, knowing he needed plenty of sleep to recharge his energy.
Actually, Xiaofan also didn't plan to keep his identity hidden from Lin Miaoke any longer. Now that they're good friends, telling her his identity might make her less frantic.
Once lying down, everything around felt incredibly quiet. The search in the cave continued, but since it looked like they'd searched here already, there temporarily wouldn't be any outsiders.
Song Wencheng had already joined the other party's research, probably wouldn't be back tonight, perhaps knowing these two required rest, or maybe he'd find so spot in the cave to sleep.
The bed being small, them lying on it would inevitably involve so skin contact.
Even sleeping on one's side, over a whole night, would definitely be uncomfortable. So, every now and then, Lin Miaoke would roll over.
The opposite side, she ended up facing this foreigner, sleeping face to face with him was seriously unpleasant.
"Hey, can you roll over to the other side?"
"Well, I just rolled over from there." Xiaofan replied helplessly.
"You..."
"Relax, if you can't find a partner, I'll take responsibility for you. Haha..."
