Chapter 3: Public Morality.
Chen Xiao and the girl stood face to face in front of the door for ten seconds, and then he suddenly reacted and hurried in to close the door! Otherwise, if a neighbor happens to pass in the stairway and sees a naked girl standing in the door of his house...
The girl looked at Chen Xiao quietly in the darkness. Those pure eyes without any impurities looked at Chen Xiao with a little curiosity.
"You..." Chen Xiao turned on the light and immediately saw the soft light on the girl's naked body. Under the light, her complexion was as delicate as ivory.
He took a cool breath unconsciously and his heart beat a little faster. He quickly turned off the light with his back hand. He rushed into the living room, grabbed the sheet that was covered in the freezer, went to the girl, turned his head away from her, and handed it over: "You put this on."
One second... No response.
Five seconds... Still no response.
Chen Xiao lost his composure and sighed, "Miss, no matter who you are, don't you know that it's easy to get a cold if your naked..." He originally wanted to say "attract sex wolves", but when he it came out from his mouth he compromised.
"Cold... What is it?"
Finally, he heard the icebox girl open her mouth.
Her voice is soft, as sweet as pudding. The girl's beautiful ice-blue eyes looked at Chen Xiao curiously.
"A cold is..." Chen Xiao grinned bitterly and looked at the girl strangely. "You've never had a cold, haven't you?"
Only the girl did not take the sheet in her hand, Chen Xiao had to go up with his own hands, closed his eyes and put the sheet on the girl himself.
His fingers seemed to touch the skin on the other side's body, cool but slippery. Chen Xiao could not help but feel a little fluttering in his heart, but he quickly retracted his hand.
Without the visual temptation and shock, Chen Xiao was relieved --- alas, he clearly has good intentions and do not want to take advantage of the girl, but how can there be a sense of guilt if that's the case in the first place?
He casually opened the light, thought for a moment, and ran to the windowsill to draw the curtain.
Well, in this era, there are a lot of people who have the hobby of "peeping". There are so many naked beautiful women at home that it would be troublesome if they were seen by neighbors who like peeping.
The girl looked curiously at the sheets that were draped over her body, and her eyes, on Chen Xiao, were silent. Was she naive or silly?
"This..." The girl pointed to the sheets on her body, her voice was very light, but she looked very serious: "It seems that no sterile treatment has been done."
Sterile treatment?
Hearing this word, Chen Xiao shook for a while.
This is my spare sheet at home. It's not a spacesuit!
"You... Alas! You'd better sit down and talk." Chen Xiao, even though he has matured through living alone but he could hardly stand it any longer.
He was vaguely aware that his "big trouble" seemed to be bigger than he had imagined.
The girl looked at the simple sofa in Chen Xiao's living room and seemed hesitant.
"Rest assured, although the sofa has not undergone sterile treatment, but it is very clean." Chen Xiao saw what the girl seemed to want to say something, and could not help saying it in a sullen way.
"Now, can you tell me who you are?" Chen Xiao carefully looked at the girl sitting in front of him. After this sentence was uttered, he suddenly he felt a little blush.
Why? Just because the sheet on the girl slipped off, she just exposed a of her little bright red bud on the left side of her chest to Chen Xiao's eyes. Although Chen Xiao did not look at it intentionally, after all, he was young, and his eyes could not help but be drawn away...
God! Why are you testing me?
His heart rate continued to accelerate! Hurriedly, he cover it up as he coughed twice, Chen Xiao quickly moved his eyes away!
"Your blushing." The girl's simple, almost silly eyes looked at Chen Xiao. Slowly, there was a little doubt in her eyes. Her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned and her voice was still so soft: "Your heart rate has increased by 19 percent compared with the previous one."
Nineteen percent?
Chen Xiao began to wonder if the girl was playing with himself.
It's not surprising that you blush. But what does she mean that his heart rate increased by 19 percent? Do you think you're a pulse meter? It seems that you have a good sense of humour.
But... It seems that there is no reason for a beautiful young girl like this to play with himself without reason.
"Who the hell are you? What's your name?" Chen Xiao is patient.
"Legacy."
Chen Xiao nodded. He had already seen the name in that letter.
"Yes but I'm asking your name. What's your name?"
"Legacy."
Chen Xiao grinned bitterly: "You will never have the surname `Ji'."
The girl looked sideways, thought about it carefully, and then shook her head. There was some confusion in her ice-blue eyes: "I don't know."
Is it the kind of amnesia that is often played in the eight o'clock dog blood TV series?
Chen Xiao felt a little embarrassed. He frowned and continued to ask, "So... Where did you come from? Do you remember that? I mean, where did you live before? Do you remember?
Finally, the girl nodded.
Chen Xiao was a little delighted, but he was stunned when he heard the answer.
Because the girl answered in a serious and firm voice, the answer was:
"No. 16 Biobin."
Number sixteen... Biological Warehouse??
Chen Xiao began to wonder if he was really talking to a human being.
Looking at the girl, it's not like she's faking it at all.
Patience, Chen Xiao continued to ask: "No. 16 biological warehouse... Where is it? Er... Shaking your head? Don't you remember? Then, do you remember what it looked like there?
She thought for a moment, but turned her head. She looked at the freezer in the living room and held out her hand. "It's bigger than it."
Bigger? Does she usually sleep in the freezer?
"Most of them?" Chen Xiao asked a question entirely unconsciously and naturally.
The girl thought again, "This is the M-shaped mini-biological warehouse. The one I used to live in had about 668 times the space.
Six hundred and Sixty-eight times?
This figure is so accurate that it seems to have a nose and eyes... Is she good at quick math?
[first of all... Is it really quick math? Then if it is then you're a genius! ]
Chen Xiao blanked for a while. Took a look at the freezer. And then he looked at his house again.
There are more than 600 freezers in this house of his own.
Er... Did this poor girl ever live in a large refrigerated warehouse?
He also wanted to continue to ask, but the girl suddenly frowned, looking at Chen Xiao's eyes showing a trace of sadness, as if timid opening: "I, uncomfortable."
"Not comfortable? Where? "
Now Chen Xiao can't help thinking about the speculation of "cloning artificial human". Mom and Dad won't really make such a legacy for me, did they?
"Here." She frowned gently, her soft face, frowning, such an indescribable beauty frowning, one could not help but feel hurt.
It's just that she pointed to her stomach, the part of her body.
"Do you have stomachache?" Chen Xiao had some guesses.
Fortunately, he soon understood, because he clearly heard two "grunts" coming from her giddy stomach.
"Ah, you are hungry." Chen Xiao stood up and sighed, "Did you come out of it* this afternoon? Hours have passed and you haven't eaten yet so it's no surprise. Well, wait a minute. I'll get some instant noodles."
[it* here refers to the freezer]
But after Chen Xiao stood up, the next sentence of the girl plunged Chen Xiao into utter silence...
"Excuse me, but what does hunger mean?"
—— All right! Even if Chen Xiao's psychological quality is better, when he hears this kind of problem, he almost collapsed at the moment!! -
He took some instant noodles, washed some dishes, pour boiling water, and put it in the microwave oven.
Chen Xiao turned on the switch and looked back to see Yíchǎn standing at the kitchen door. Her soft eyes were full of curiosity and looked at all kinds of utensils in the kitchen.
[Legacy is Yichan in Chinese BTW. The oy reason I did not put it on Chinese before is because it needed to be in English to suit the event and the context from the past chapter(s)]
Chen Xiao's face is reddish again. He really wants to remind the girl in good faith that the sheets on her body have slid down most of the time. More than 50% of a girl's body is "sensitive parts" that can't be seen by a man. At the moment, Chen Xiao's eyes are exposed to such "sensitive parts" without any cover.
Unfortunately, when Chen Xiao was hesitating to open his mouth and his heart was at war with his morality, the room suddenly darkened and the light went out. The microwave oven that was running next to him suddenly stopped.
In the darkness, Chen Xiao was sighing in his heart. Before he could speak, he heard her gentle question.
"Excuse me, is there an energy shortage problem?"
After hearing this, Chen Xiao could not even laugh bitterly. He was already as bitter as a bitter melon.
Energy shortage... Why does this "wording" sound so strange?
He glanced quickly out of the kitchen window and found the opposite building and its surroundings bright.
"It doesn't seem to be a blackout. Maybe the fuse is broken at home." Chen Xiao thought for a moment: "There is no spare at home. I'm going out to buy it. Wait a minute.
"What's a fuse?"
Chen Xiao sighed directly. In the darkness, his tone was very serious. At last, he became impatient. "Miss Yichan, I don't know who you are and where you come from." I... To tell you the truth, I'm so messed up by you that I almost near into collapsing.
After a moment's silence, she whispered, "Do you need this thing called a fuse to keep the energy going?"
Keep energy running??
... Chen Xiao was speechless.
OK
Chen Xiao has had enough experience in dealing with girls since he was sixteen years old, but he has never met such a weird girl!
She seemed to take it for granted that everything should be "sterilized" - even sheets and sofas.
She doesn't know what a cold is.
She didn't know what "hungry" meant.
She calls ordinary electricity "energy".
She... Isn't she an alien?
Just when Chen Xiao didn't know how to answer, she asked softly, "Can I help you?"
"Help? You want to help me buy a fuse? Chen Xiao looked at Yichan with distrustful eyes. He even suspected that the girl knew that there were convenience stores in the world.
Considering her strange performance just now, Chen Xiao feels that the possibility of his worries is very high! ____________
Regrettably... It seems that he is still "underestimating" the lass!
Because Yichan has looked at Chen Xiao with her big innocent eyes, and has directly skipped the so-called "convenience store" worries, but instead had gone to ask: "Excuse me, what does "buy" mean?"
"Buy" is... What do you mean?!
Chen Xiao is really annoyed.
Just when he wanted to get angry, Yichan had gently come to Chen Xiao's side, stretched out a hand and pressed it on the microwave oven.
The next moment, Chen Xiao's original sentence that has reached his mouth and was ready to spout his words of anger, he suddenly swallowed it all back.
Also to add to swallowing his words back, his mouth is filled with foam!!
[no sh*t]
In the dark room, the lamp suddenly flickered a few times, and suddenly lit up! ____________
The lights were turned on, the microwave oven, which had stopped, restarted and began to continue cooking food!! ____________
Even the TV in the living room, which is clearly down after the fuse gone out, suddenly opened automatically! A China Mobile Advertisement is playing on the TV screen. Jay Chou pointed at the camera and announced loudly: "I am M-ZONE ~"
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Chen Xiao was shocked!
He was stunned.
He stared with his eyes bulging round!
What the f*ck happened? Did the fuse regained electricity?
But even he felt that such an excuse could not justify himself! ____________
He watched and uttered one more sentence with great effort:
"You, in the end, are you human or a ghost?"
But soon, his eyes bulged 'even' bigger!
Because all of a sudden, he saw the light of the original household on the opposite building, suddenly fell into a pitch of darkness!
Not only the opposite building, but also the whole neighborhood building, all of a sudden fell into darkness at the same time!!
The whole community is dark, and only one window of Chen Xiao's home is lit up.
And standing next to the microwave oven, Yichan's whole body is flashing with blue light like electric currents! It's like... Like fireflies! And it gets brighter and brighter!! The electric currents seemed to condense on her body, and the blue light flashed...
Such a strange scene Chen Xiao has never seen in his life.
[yeah no sh*t]
In such a situation, it is clear that the atmosphere should be very weird. Suddenly, the neighbors living downstairs in their own homes put their heads out of the window and shouted angrily in a broken gong-like voice.
"What's the matter?! How did the blackouts were not notified in advance!!! There is no public morality!!!!
