Chapter 0005: Counting Ducks

Pushing open the door, everything was as Xiao Yang had anticipated; indeed, a bucket of water appeared before his eyes. Xiao Yang quickly and nimbly finished washing up, but suddenly felt an urge to relieve himself. He couldn't help but glance around, furrowing his brow, "Where is the restroom? Where is the toilet?"

This should be the place for washing and brushing. Xiao Yang mused that his comprehension was quite good; although he could not achieve photographic memory while reading, both his memory and understanding abilities were top-notch. Otherwise, how could he have become the top scholar in both civil and military examinations at such a young age

Thank you very much. Xiao Yang quickly leaped backward and swiftly darted into the bathroom

Jun Tieying's figure is light and slow, "Suxin sister is my cousin."

He turned on the children's channel, and after a few advertisements, a cheerful tune suddenly played, the children's song "Counting Ducks"

Jun Tieying immediately felt a strange sensation in her eyes. Remembering Xiao Yang's 'identity', she was even more horrified and threw the history book in her hand with force.

Jun Tieying

This mysterious place is truly filled with wonders everywhere. Xiao Yang sat up, stretched lazily, and instinctively glanced to the right.

That was what Bai Suxin said about the 'bathroom' last night

You go ahead and speak first. Xiao Yang is very generous

Would they really urinate in public? Xiao Yang couldn't help but entertain such a thought

What Xiao Yang did not expect was that the figure standing in front of him was not from hetushucom.com, but rather... sitting in a wheelchair

Who would have thought that your toilet has a lid? No wonder I couldn't find it

Her long, smooth hair cascaded to her shoulders, and her oval face was more beautiful than he had imagined. At the same time, as she looked at herself with a hint of astonishment in her eyes, she consistently exuded a sense of strength.

Bang

Last night, when taking a taxi back, Bai Suxin had considered giving some money to express her gratitude for Xiao Yang's assistance. However, Xiao Yang, a man of stature, believed that he should not accept a woman's kindness without reason, and he decisively declined.

A group of ducks swam across the small river in front of the door

In front of the small river, a group of ducks swam by, come quickly and count them, two, four, six, seven, eight

So soon?" The woman instinctively looked up

"I never expected that Sister Suxin would have such a hobby..." the woman murmured

"My name is Xiao Yang." Xiao Yang smiled gently, taking a few steps forward, "You must be Miss Bai Suxin's younger sister, right?"

The woman's features became increasingly peculiar, and her gaze towards Xiao Yang took on a somewhat unusual quality

Of course, a very important factor is that this sofa is truly soft, and Xiaoyang has never slept in such a comfortable place before

The urgency of his need to urinate grew increasingly intense, and Xiao Yang searched almost every corner of the apartment, yet he still could not find the toilet

Xiao Yang was intoxicated with joy, "This poem is quite good, although the imagery is not remarkable, the melody is rather cheerful and lively. I wonder which poet composed it." Following the joyful melody, Xiao Yang couldn't help but hum along.

Xiao Yang wore a troubled expression and asked, "Miss, where is the toilet?"

You ... ...

Xiao Yang felt a slight tremor throughout his body, the urge to urinate temporarily subsiding. He turned around, and his pupils involuntarily constricted. Just from the sound, he sensed a delicate softness intertwined with a hint of strength. A figure with flowing long hair and an oval face... the visage slightly revealing a trace of resoluteness instinctively emerged in his mind. However, when his gaze truly met that of the sound's owner...

This girl, who appears to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, has a story.

She... she hasn't paid yet? The woman paused for a moment, but couldn't help but speak up. It must be for this reason that this man would stay here and not leave.

Sister Su Xin

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yang couldn't help but glance in the direction where the girl usually was, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. A girl in the prime of her youth was destined to spend her adolescence in a wheelchair

Xiao Yang's expression was slightly taken aback, "Jun Tieying... a very unique name"

Opening his drowsy eyes, the LCD television screen appeared before Xiao Yang. He was not unfamiliar with this device; he had fiddled with it the night before and was amazed to discover that this 'mirror' was so magical. All he needed to do was press the red button on the rectangular box beside it, and the 'mirror' would display wondrous images. Pressing it again would make the images disappear.

Calm

A night without surprises or dangers

Xiao Yang was immediately at a loss, "I do not know"

At this moment, Jun Tieying's door opened, and in her fair hand, she held a thick history book. Raising her eyes, she saw that on the sofa ahead, the man was bursting forth with a cheerful song

Cough cough. Xiao Yang couldn't help but cough a few times

Xiao Yang thought for a moment, shook his head, "It shouldn't count as that, we just happened to run into each other last night... By the way, I have a question." Xiao Yang's expression became awkward.

After a moment of silence, both individuals spoke simultaneously

"Tsk tsk, amazing, truly amazing," Xiao Yang exclaimed

The woman fell silent for a moment

Who says that a woman of ill repute is heartless? Is there not one before me who is different?

May I ask for your esteemed name, young lady

Xiao Yang said with a sense of relief, "I have one more humble request. May I borrow your history books for a while?" He remembered what Bai Suxin had mentioned last night. The person before him, Jun Tieying, was a student of the history department, so he must have some history books.

It is better to avoid such people whenever possible

The woman was taken aback, her gaze resting on Xiao Yang for a long time before she finally spoke, "Are you a friend of Sister Suxin?"

... ...

Feeling the unusual gaze of the woman, Xiao Yang experienced a sense of losing face

Is that so? Jun Tieying seemed to regain her composure, speaking indifferently. She then gently turned her wheelchair, as if she had no intention of continuing the conversation with Xiao Yang or discussing the book.

Encountered on the street, then brought home, neither party is a friend

"You don't want money?" The woman was even more astonished

Is this a yes or a no? Xiao Yang was immediately taken aback, and after a moment, he shook his head and sighed. His gaze fell upon the rectangular box, and he instinctively picked it up and pressed the mysterious red button. The image on the mirror suddenly flickered and continuously changed.

Xiao Yang sensed an aura of extreme calm emanating from her eyes. He could immediately deduce that this woman was likely the younger sister mentioned by Bai Suxin. However, she seemed unaware of her own origins. When a stranger suddenly appeared at the door, her eyes, aside from a brief moment of astonishment at the beginning, displayed a terrifying calmness.

This is perhaps the most peaceful night Xiao Yang has slept since escaping from prison. Although this world is somewhat strange, and the women here are a bit crazy, it precisely proves that he may have completely freed himself from the pursuit of the authorities

Has he developed feelings for Sister Suxin

Bang

Last night, I encountered a woman whose calm eyes could not help but reveal a hint of turbulence. "Where is it?" Then Sister Suxin took you back, didn't she?

... ... ''

... ...

Jun Tieying did not respond and gently pushed the wheelchair into the room

Naturally, the woman could imagine Xiao Yang's profession. She looked him up and down and noticed that although his attire was somewhat peculiar, he indeed had a handsome and scholarly face, which certainly qualified him for that line of work

Hmm? Aren't you Miss Suxin's sister? How come one has the surname Bai and the other has the surname Jun?

However, upon seeing Xiao Yang's embarrassed expression, the woman still pointed behind him

For his own safety, Xiao Yang chose not to sleep naked. Bai Su Xin did not make a clear statement, and Xiao Yang truly could not determine whether she would come out in the middle of the night to take advantage of him

"Right on the street." Xiao Yang felt increasingly anxious, almost needing to use his hands to restrain himself. He held his breath and asked, "Miss, could you please answer me one question first: where is your family's toilet?"

"Who are you?" Suddenly, a soft and delicate voice sounded behind Xiao Yang

The woman then recalled Xiao Yang's question, feeling even more puzzled. How could he ask such a question when he was standing right at the bathroom door?

Should Sister Suxin be going to class now? the woman asked

The main door of the restroom suddenly opened

The main door is tightly closed

"Money?" Xiao Yang pondered for a moment and then smiled, "She offered it, but I didn't accept it"

After approximately ten minutes, Xiao Yang sat awkwardly on the sofa, feeling a lingering sense of indignation in his heart.

The sunlight streamed in through the window at an angle, gently falling upon the woman. She wore a light blue dress, and a snow-white blanket covered her lower body, extending all the way to her feet. Her fair hands rested on either side of the wheelchair, and her eyes quietly gazed at Xiaoyang
