When the soldier heard Jiao Lizhi’s question, he smiled, and replied, "This tent is for soldiers to rest during breaks. Without our permission, no one is allowed in. So no, we are not worried."
Jiao Lizhi nodded and said with understanding, "I see."
"Captain Jin, I have to go check on incoming survivors, so I will leave you two here."
"Go on. We will take a nap," Jin Xuyan said.
After the soldier left, Jiao Lizhi zipped up the tent and asked her boyfriend in a low voice, "Brother Yan, I need to use the bathroom. Want to come with me?"
Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "I will go wherever you go."
Smiling, she held his hand, and the two entered her space. As soon as they appeared, she rushed into the master bedroom.
After using the bathroom, she took a quick shower to wash off the sweat and grime. Not showering for a day had left her uncomfortable.
While her body didn’t have a bad odor, the stench of rotting flesh and blood still clung to her.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but lament how fast her hair was growing. It had only been 23 days since she’d cut it short, but it had already grown to her waist, with the ends slightly curled.
She considered cutting it again, but her boyfriend liked to play with her hair when they cuddled. Thinking he preferred it long, she decided not to cut it.
In a world without entertainment, if cutting her hair meant he would lose one of his small joys, then she was willing to sacrifice her convenience for his happiness.
After "brainwashing" herself, she finished her shower and changed her clothes. Thankfully, they had collected a lot of clothes in the factory district. She wore a similar outfit so no one would notice the change.
When she finished drying her hair and stepped out of the master bedroom, she saw her boyfriend walking out from the other bedroom.
Noticing his wet hair, she said, "Brother Yan, you should dry your hair properly."
Jin Xuyan smiled and circulated his energy. In less than five seconds, his hair was dry.
Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi said enviously, "Brother Yan, your ability is so convenient!"
Walking over, Jin Xuyan ran his fingers through her hair and said, "Ah Zhi, if you want, I can dry your hair too."
Touching her 80% dry hair, she replied, "It’s almost dry now, let’s do it next time."
"Okay," Jin Xuyan agreed happily.
Before leaving the space, she grabbed some food and pond water. When they reappeared outside, they heard a voice from outside the tent.
"Captain, it seems Captain Jin and his girlfriend are sleeping inside."
