Leia didn't know how long she had been waiting in the bathroom.

At this moment, her hands and feet were all cold, her body was trembling slightly, her brain was blank, but her heart was beating very hard, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

The whole body... was deathly silent.

Leia closed her eyes, put her hands on her chest, held her breath gently, and waited for the marshal to call her name with all her concentration.

One second passed, two seconds passed, one minute, two minutes...

The speed of time seems to be gradually slowing down at this moment, and all the fear and panic are magnified how many times, screaming to swallow her up.

Just when Laiya was almost unable to hold on, Jiang Zhinan's voice finally sounded outside the door.

She said, "Lea, come out, it's okay."

Laiya's eyes turned red immediately, and her two shivering calves suddenly gained strength. She opened the door and walked quickly to the bed, looking worriedly in the direction of Jiang Zhinan.

She saw that the marshal was still sitting on the bed in the same posture as before, his body was very straight, and his expression was the same as before.

But the breathing is more rapid than before, and the face is also faintly crimson.

There is even an imperceptible fragrance of flowers around.

"Marshal!" Laiya climbed onto the bed on tiptoe, knelt on the edge of the bed with two legs supporting her body, and gently moved her small head to touch Jiang Zhinan's forehead, asking her in a very soft voice, "Are you okay?" Bar?"

The little girl was obviously frightened, her big eyes were filled with tears, her body was shaking slightly, and her two little hands were cold to the touch.

"It's okay." Jiang Zhinan said softly, took Laiya over, hugged her in his arms and patted her silently.

The fragrance of the flowers came from the marshal.

At the moment when she got into Jiang Zhinan's arms, Laiya suddenly realized this matter, and then a question suddenly popped up in her heart.

But she didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, just stayed in Jiang Zhinan's arms so quietly, until Jiang Zhinan's breathing gradually calmed down, until the coldness on her body slowly faded away, and her heartbeat returned to normal.

"Does the marshal still want to wash his feet?" She raised her head, blinked her big eyes lightly, and looked at Jiang Zhinan's face full of expectation, "Laiya wants to help the marshal wash his feet."

Jiang Zhinan was taken aback by her look, and then he patted her head reflexively, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wash."

"Okay." Laiya nodded, jumped out of her arms very obediently, and went to change the water again with the basin in the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he used two small hands to support Jiang Zhinan's feet, and slowly put them into the water basin as if holding some sacred object.

a little itchy.

Those two little hands were soft, with different temperatures, they touched the water little by little, and wiped her with the towel little by little.

Jiang Zhinan was very itchy, but he was too embarrassed to stop the blow to the child's self-confidence, so he could only close his eyes and grit his teeth.

"Marshal?" Laiya noticed her strangeness, raised her head and asked a little disappointed, "Is Laiya uncomfortable after washing?"

"No." Jiang Zhinan shook his head, forced a smile to comfort her, "It's quite comfortable."

"That's good!" Laiya laughed, lowering her head to wash even harder.

Jiang Zhinan: "..."

His feet were itching even more, and Jiang Zhinan couldn't help but want to laugh, so he called the system in his heart, asking her to play some short stories for him to divert his attention.

"Please leave a message if you have anything to do." The system seemed to be absent at the moment, and a mechanical voice came from there, asking her to leave a message after the beep.

Jiang Zhinan encountered such a function for the first time, and didn't know how to use it, so he could only try to ask: "Can you play me a short story?"

"Okay." The mechanical voice responded, "Received the request, and now we will randomly play the stories of the hosts."

The host's story sounded very novel, Jiang Zhinan thanked it politely, and sat up straight to listen.

A voice sounded in her mind, and she began to tell her vividly: "It was a dark and stormy night, and a small employee of xx company died suddenly."

Scary story?

Jiang Zhinan swallowed.

"The little employee worked hard during her lifetime, worked hard every day until late at night, and worked hard to earn money to support her family." The voice continued, "However, God's will, no matter how hard she worked, she still did not get rich, and she will always be at the bottom of society. , suffered all kinds of hardships and hardships..."

Jiang Zhinan listened for a long time, and suddenly realized that the voice was telling her story.

Lonely, lonely, poor, as miserable as you want.

Jiang Zhinan listened to it for a long time, but he didn't want to laugh anymore, he wanted to cry.

The voice ignored her and continued talking until the moment she died, the system finally came back.

"I'm so miserable." Jiang Zhinan cried to the system in his mind, extremely sad, "I just realized that I was so pitiful before."

"Don't cry, don't cry!" The system comforted her, and quickly turned off that function, "It won't be miserable when you go back."

"Really?" Jiang Zhinan asked pitifully.

"Really!" The system nodded, "I promise you."

"That's good." Jiang Zhinan replied, feeling much more at ease, and didn't want to cry anymore.

Laiya just finished washing her feet at this time, and when she looked up, she saw the marshal's eyes were red, and there were still tears in them.

She had never seen the marshal showing such an expression before, and she froze immediately. She didn't hold the water basin in her hand, and it plopped to the ground.

I also splashed a lot on my body, and my pants were wet.

"Are you okay?!" Jiang Zhinan was taken aback, and quickly bent down to wipe her, and then arranged for Laiya to go to her bathroom to wash up.

"Okay." Laiya blushed, nodded and went into the bathroom with regret and embarrassment.

After a while, there was the sound of water flowing inside.

Jiang Zhinan originally lost a lot of physical strength due to combined fever, but now he heard the particularly hypnotic sound of water, and soon became sleepy, before Laiya came out, he lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The light in the bedroom was still bright, but it couldn't hide the quiet atmosphere. Laiya turned down the water flow a lot, and listened to the sounds outside with concentration, for fear that something might happen to the marshal.

I also took a quick shower, and in the end I just scrubbed roughly and came out quickly.

Fortunately, the Marshal just fell asleep.

Laiya lightly dimmed the light, tiptoed slowly to the bedside and observed Jiang Zhinan's sleeping face with the starlight outside the window.

No matter how many times she looks at it, she still looks so good-looking, her whole body seems to be glowing, and nothing can hide her light.

The beauty is like a work of art, even a light touch is a sin.

But... so what.

Standing beside the bed, Laiya blinked her eyes, finally held her breath and gently climbed onto the bed, came to Jiang Zhinan's side and lay down, her face was very close to her.

The two little hands unconsciously grasped forward, with gentle movements, carefully touched Jiang Zhinan's fingertips, and then held them tightly.

"Marshal." She said softly, her eyes were shining brightly under the starlight, "It's good to have you here, Laiya likes you."

"More than the liking for Dailin, the kids at school, the birds and the bunnies."

"Hmm..." Jiang Zhinan murmured in his dream, his body leaned forward slightly, and the hair on his sideburns fell down on the tip of his nose.

Laiya stretched out her small hand to gently tidy up the hair, and after a while, she leaned over and kissed Jiang Zhinan's forehead gently.

"Good night Marshal." She said, smiling very happily.

……

The next day was still a working day, and Leia and Dailin had to go to school.

But Jiang Zhinan didn't have the energy to follow. Although she had already taken the medicine, the exhaustion in her body still didn't dissipate. Today, she just wanted to lie on the bed.

Before she left, Laiya brought a bowl of porridge by her bed and asked her to drink it softly.

"Okay." Jiang Zhinan responded, raising his hand to stroke her hair.

Dailin on the side saw it, and came over to help Jiang Zhinan tuck the quilt, like Laiya, in exchange for a pat.

The two children were satisfied and went to school happily.

Jiang Zhinan sat up and finished the bowl of porridge, then lay back down again, chatting with the system in his head.

After chatting like this for a while, the terminal next to the pillow suddenly rang.

Jiang Zhinan picked it up and looked at it, and saw a message from above to remind her that something happened there, and she would go back to the barracks in a few days.

Although Jiang Zhinan came here mainly to complete the mission, the safety of the empire is also very important. As long as she stays in this body for a day, she will still come forward if the empire needs anything.

So Jiang Zhinan went back to the "good" past.

Then I started to think about how to tell the children about it.

In the past, when the original owner was still there, he often did not go home again and again, staying in the barracks every day for several months at a time.

However, the relationship between the original owner and the children was not good at that time, so it didn't have any influence, and life should be lived.

But it's different now, these two children are so dependent on her now, if she leaves suddenly, maybe what will happen.

Especially Laiya, after so many years of low self-esteem, she finally became stronger and more confident. Jiang Zhinan was afraid that she would return to the starting point after he left.

A little confused in his head, Jiang Zhinan hesitated for a day, and finally decided to try her first.

Perhaps washing the family's feet is something to be very proud of. After dinner, Laiya finished her homework quickly, and then went to fetch hot water and came over with a basin and wanted to wash Jiang Zhinan.

Jiang Zhinan happened to have something to ask, so he didn't refuse, and just obediently stretched out his feet and put them into the water basin.

Laiya lowered her head and raised the water with her small hands, with a very obvious smile on her face.

Jiang Zhinan stared at her for a long time, then suddenly called her name after a while.

She said, "Lea, can I ask you something?"

"Okay!" Laiya responded, raising her head obediently to look at her.

"If, I mean if." Jiang Zhinan said, "If one day I have to leave because of certain things, and it may take a long time to come back, what will Laiya do?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Leia froze.

Jiang Zhinan looked at her small head, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

But the words spoken are like water poured out, and it is unrealistic to take them back, so Jiang Zhinan simply didn't say anything, and waited for her answer in silence.

Time passed downwards, and after an unknown amount of time, Laiya in front of her finally spoke again.

"Liya doesn't know." She said, her voice trembling slightly, "Liya never thought about this issue before, and she didn't have any real feelings about the Marshal's departure."

"But now I don't dare to think about it. I don't dare to think about what I will do after the Marshal leaves." She shook her head, and her hand movements slowed down a lot. "But since the Marshal asked, then..."

"Then I can only tell the marshal that I will obediently wait for your return at home." She said, raising her little head again, her big eyes full of determination, "Like I was waiting for the marshal in the bathroom last night, Ann Wait quietly and honestly, until the Marshal returns, and when you call my name."

"Liya is no longer the same Laiya as before, and I won't cause you any trouble."
