[Comprehensive British and American] Daily life of a data balancer

Stephen woke up with a stabbing pain in the head. When he opened his eyes, he was facing the overhead light, which made his eyes white. for a moment.A hand reached out to his head, and tentatively touched the hand that covered his eyes, and a familiar voice said above him, "Move your hand down, you're delaying my work."

So Stephen moved his hand away and risked opening his eyes.This time he narrowed his eyes slowly, and saw Li Min holding a sterile cotton swab and adhesive tape above him through the slit.After a short period of doubt, his consciousness finally returned. He remembered the portal he opened at the end of the Outnumbered. At that time, he was unconscious. There are so many places to choose from, but I chose here.

He had to find an excuse to fool him, Stephen thought uneasily, if Li Min asked him why he did this, what excuse should he find, wearing a cosplay cape that looked like a Superman fanatic and was covered in injuries.

—And what about his cloak?

Stephen froze for a moment. He was lying on the sofa, his clothes intact, but the cloak was obviously no longer here. He hoped that the other party was not frightened by the cloak that could move by itself.

Just when he was thinking wildly, Li Min spoke again and tried to scratch his eyelids, "Are you feeling dizzy? Do you want to vomit? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Don't go to the hospital." Facing a series of questions, Stephen only had time to answer the last one. He turned to the side and grabbed the hand by the way. "I don't have a concussion, so don't worry about internal bleeding."

"Okay, you are a doctor, you have what you say." So Li Min replied and put away his hands to get the tape, "I cleaned up the injury on the head for you, but it seems that there are other places, you don't mind going to check it yourself ?”

"No problem, let me borrow your bathroom." Stephen pulled himself up to make sure he could stand still, and then reached for the medicine box. When he looked around to find the location of the bathroom, he saw a chair hanging on the back of a chair not far away. That touch of red cloth looks very familiar.

When Li Min turned his back to the chair, the cloak waved at him. Stephen stared at it fiercely and waved his hands wildly at it, but the cloak was swaying and refused to listen to him, which made him Very annoyed.When Li Min turned around, the cloak returned to its original position with a whizz.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Min raised one eyebrow, watching Stephen raised a hand, and stuffed something into his hand.

"What is this?" Stephen looked at a toothbrush in his hand.

"A new toothbrush."

"I know what it is, I mean, what does it mean?"

"I thought you came here to let me take you in." Li Min tilted his head to look at him, and asked in a natural tone, "I'm thinking too much? Then you can go now."

"No, no, no, I mean, thank you." Stephen quickly clenched his toothbrush tightly. He would be laughed at by Wang for half a year when he went back now, so he would not go back.

"Okay, I'll go and look through the clothes, I probably still have one or two sets of old clothes you left here." Li Min just shrugged his shoulders.

It took Stephen a little more time, the bruise on his back from being hit by the iron rod is now showing, although there is no feeling of hurting the bones when moving, it is enough for him to suffer for a while, the most important thing is that Bruises limited his movements.

When he came out of the bathroom after washing, there was a set of clothes outside, a regular white shirt and jeans, the brand he used to buy often.It did look like it was his old clothes, probably old clothes that hadn't been worn twice.Stephen now remembered how the dress stayed in Li Min's hands, and at the same time he tried awkwardly to dispel from his mind that the other party was only wearing this too long shirt.

Li Min is no longer in the living room. The door of her room was ajar. Stephen walked over quietly, and saw her sitting in front of the computer desk through the slit, holding the handle while muttering something, with the earphones on, completely ignoring the window. the way things are.The door of the guest room on the opposite side was wide open, looking at ease.

Stephen really didn't have anything to pick about this, and tonight's incident was too embarrassing, so he refused to think about the mess left behind, ignored all the unreasonable things that Li Min didn't care about, and fell headlong fell on the bed.

The cloak that has been playing dead on the back of the chair in the living room is a bit aggrieved. It lay dead and pretended to be dead for the sake of the overall situation, but its owner turned around and forgot to sleep, which made it feel the indifference of the world Ruthless, so it decides that it is not a good idea to disturb its owner's rest by being vexatious, but it can slip on the bed and cover him.

Just as it slid down the back of the chair and was about to fly silently along the floor to the guest room, one hand accurately grabbed its collar.

Li Min picked it up as if she was choking her neck, and held it up to the level of her eyes, watching the cloth writhe crazily to get out of the grip of her hands, and even tried to turn it over to wrap her head, but she He straightened his arms so the cloak couldn't reach them.

After 2 minutes, the cloak stopped struggling, and it realized that no matter who was holding its neck, it was more powerful than it, and it couldn't play against it.At this time, according to the situation of ordinary people, it should scream loudly and call brothers to help... But it is a cloak, and it doesn't even have a mouth.

"You still want to be called a brother?" Li Min seemed to have seen through its thoughts, and looked disgusted. "It's okay to be called a solo."

Cloak collar turned down, dejected.

Li Min observed it for a while, making sure that it would not try to attack her again, so she took her hand closer, looked at the shoulder pendant from top to bottom, and said after deliberation, "So you follow Stephen Strange You ran all night, right?"

"..." The collar of the cloak moved up and down slightly as a nod.

Li Min felt that the poor little man might have been frightened, so she let go of her hand, bared her white teeth and asked as gently as possible, "I guess it's impossible to expect you to tell me where he went and what he did." She tried her best Lowering his voice so as not to disturb the other, he asked for the cloak "But you can take me."

She looked at the hesitant look of the cloak slightly turning her head to the guest room, thought for a while, and added, "Otherwise, I'll put you in the washing machine and turn it to the highest speed."

——What can I do, I am also very desperate, I am just a poor single cloaked spirit.

The cloak looked at the gloomy and white expression of the unknown girl opposite, and gave in tremblingly.
