After the girl left him, there was a rustling sound of dressing in front of her.
"You can open your eyes now."
After a while, the girl pulled the hem of her skirt and turned it in a small circle to make sure that all the clothes on her body were properly dressed, and then she called the boy softly.
"Okay."
The young man responded, and after moving his arm away from his eyes to avoid suspicion, he saw that the girl was holding his clothes in her hands.
"These are your clothes. They haven't dried yet. It shouldn't matter to you, right?"
Nia was a little worried about whether the boy could wear these wet clothes. After all, the boy had narrowly escaped death not long ago and his body should still be very weak.
"Of course it doesn't matter."
Of course, the young man couldn't mind this. The girl's hair and the dress in front of him were also wet. Obviously, she didn't have time to take off her clothes when she jumped into the river.
Then he thought about what he had done...
Okay! I owe this girl a lot.
The young man, who was a little embarrassed, took the clothes and pants handed over by the girl and put them on one by one.
At this time, the girl also took the initiative to turn her back so as not to embarrass the boy.
"That Nia..."
Since you still can't figure it out, it's better to ask the person involved directly.
"Yes, yes."
Nia turned around, put her hands behind her back, tilted her head and stared at the boy,
"What happened?"
The young man expressed his doubts, knowing that this girl must be clear about it.
"You drowned, you know that, right?"
"Of course I know that, and you saved me."
"Well, that's it. You know that? Then I have nothing to say."
Nia rubbed the hem of her skirt, thinking that she must change the topic.
But how could the young man give up? He asked: "Then why were my clothes taken off?"
"They're all wet, and the water is so cold, so of course I have to take them off."
"Then why are you here with me..."
On my body.
The boy was relieved after knowing that the girl had taken off his clothes. It seemed that he had indeed done nothing wrong.
But why did the girl take off her clothes and lie with him?
"At that time, your whole body was shivering, and your body was so cold that you had almost no body temperature. I... could only keep you warm in this way."
Nia naturally knew what the boy was asking, but her voice became softer and softer, and finally she turned her face away to prevent the boy from seeing her already red face.
"Nia."
"Huh?! What, what's wrong?"
The boy suddenly called the girl's name seriously, which made the girl inexplicably nervous.
"Thanks."
He still can't think of how he should repay the other person, but the young man understands that this "thank you" is indispensable.
"It's nothing... don't say 'thank you' or anything like that."
Nia shook her head, she didn't want to accept such "thank you".
I always felt that when the young man said "thank you", he also alienated her, as if he was rejecting people thousands of miles away as usual.
"You saved me, isn't it normal for me to save you?"
"..."
When the girl said this, the boy was speechless.
He almost forgot that he actually brought this girl out of the sea of fire.
To save her life, the young man didn't ask for anything in return.
In his original world, "saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda" and "human life is at stake"... almost everyone knows these words.
Even in this cruel alien world, the boy still values human life very seriously.
"But you have to say 'thank you'."
This is the young man's insistence. He has always believed that one should be grateful when receiving favors from others.
"No, 'thank you' goes without saying."
But the girl immediately shook her head and rejected the boy's insistence.
"Why?"
The young man was puzzled.
"Because we are friends? Do we need to say 'thank you' when friends help each other?"
After saying this, Nia suddenly turned around.
Because these words seem familiar.
Not long ago, my best friend said something similar to me.
Lisa... you would like me to have a new friend, right?
"Nia, are you saying we are friends?"
The boy was a little confused. He hadn't heard the word "friend" for a long time.
After so many years, he has long understood that "friends" are a luxurious delusion for him.
Do you really have the qualifications to have "friends"?
The slow heart in the young man's chest finally started beating violently.
"Well, yes."
Nia quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the young man, who was in a bit of a mood swing, did not notice the girl's mood.
"You wouldn't be...unwilling, would you?"
She was a little worried, what if the boy didn't want to be her friend?
But the girl's worries are completely unnecessary.
As a young man...it was impossible for him to refuse this invitation.
