At night, after having dinner and a shower, Lin Zichen went back to his room and sprawled on his bed, scrolling through news on his smartphone.
Close to nine o’clock, his next-door neighbor Shen Qinghan came to find him, dressed in pajamas and carrying a fruit brand tablet computer into his room.
“This tablet is for you, my mom bought it especially for you,” she said.
Shen Qinghan handed the tablet that she was holding over to Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen was somewhat puzzled, “Why did Auntie Meng suddenly give me this?”
Shen Qinghan explained, “Before the practical assessment, didn’t my mom say she would buy the latest fruit brand smartphones for us? She thought it over and felt that tablets would be more convenient for our studies, so she decided to buy tablets instead.”
Upon hearing her explanation, Lin Zichen remembered.
He picked up his smartphone and sent a message to Xu Meng on WeChat, saying he really liked the fruit brand tablet computer and thanked Auntie Meng.
While he was chatting with Xu Meng,
Shen Qinghan at the bedside took off her slippers, revealing a pair of petite, delicate, fair feet, and skillfully climbed onto his bed.
She then sat cross-legged on the bed, her pretty face showing a faint blush, and said softly,
“Xiao Chen, I want to sleep over at your place tonight, is that okay?”
“What?”
Lin Zichen thought he had heard wrong and looked up at her in surprise.
Shen Qinghan clarified, “The compatibility test is tomorrow, and if I sleep alone, I will definitely keep thinking about it and then not be able to sleep.”
“But if I sleep with you, I can talk to someone and divert my attention, so I won’t keep thinking about the compatibility test and end up unable to sleep.”
After saying this, she looked into Lin Zichen’s eyes and asked again, “Is it okay?”
“If you want to, then of course it’s okay,” Lin Zichen replied.
It’s not like they hadn’t slept together before.
When they were children, they often slept together.
More recently, they had slept together during the seven days of the past practical assessment.
“Then I’ll tell my mom now that I won’t be going home tonight.”
Shen Qinghan took out her phone and informed Xu Meng on WeChat that she would be sleeping over at Lin Zichen’s place tonight.
For something like this, she knew Xu Meng would definitely not mind.
As expected, Xu Meng had no objections, and even proactively said she would bring over a toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, diapers, and the clothes to wear for the next day for her.
“But where are the Exotic Humans?”
“Exotic Beasts have been around for so long, so why haven’t Exotic Humans appeared?”
Shen Qinghan was genuinely puzzled, feeling that it didn’t make sense.
Suddenly, she had a thought and immediately turned to Lin Zichen, “Xiao Chen, you’re not an Exotic Human, are you?”
Lin Zichen denied, “You’re overthinking it. I’m definitely not one.”
I’m just a wimp. How can I compare to an Exotic Human?
The next morning, just as the sky began to brighten.
Lin Zichen awoke from his bed and the first thing he did was to lift the blanket to check if the bed was wet.
Thankfully, it was dry.
Shen Qinghan hadn’t urinated last night, or perhaps she wore a diaper.
Lin Zichen wasn’t unduly worried for no reason; as a child, Shen Qinghan’s bed-wetting had truly scared him.
Every time she didn’t wear a diaper and they slept in the same bed, he would invariably be urinated on, which had left him with a psychological shadow.
About half an hour later, Shen Qinghan also woke up.
After the two of them freshened up and had breakfast, they headed out to school together.
The compatibility test for the candidates of Shanhai City was arranged in a research facility on an island.
To get there, students had to take a school bus.
In less than ten minutes, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan reached the school.
By that time, the schoolyard was already teeming with people. The candidates were waiting for the buses to come and pick them up.
Before long, the buses arrived.
All of the candidates boarded and set off for the research facility.
On the bus.
Lin Zichen thought back to Wang Shujie and Lu Gang’s odd behavior from the day before and glanced over at them out of the corner of his eye.
He then noticed that they didn’t seem to be in good spirits.
They appeared somewhat listless, lacking their usual energy.
So what exactly was wrong with these two?
Lin Zichen was quite puzzled.
