Kiana narrowed her eyes, hmm... For a moment, she really couldn't tell if Bronya was suffering from insomnia.

During their month of travel, Bronya had always slept later than her, and had indeed experienced occasional insomnia.

Hmm...

As Kiana was thinking.

Lin Nai waved, signaling Bronya to come over.

It takes one to catch a sheep, and it takes one to catch a flock...

Huh?

The two Doctors in the closet?

Let them sleep in the closet. After all, what kind of good person would disturb someone's rest in the middle of the night?

We only met today.

After seeing Lin Nai wave, Bronya had already walked over with light steps.

After a few moments of thought.

She gently moved Kiana aside, then squeezed into Lin Nai's embrace.

Because her body wasn't large, Bronya didn't need to sit on the bench at all.

But this action instead left Kiana speechless.

That was her spot!

"Hey! Shorty, what are you doing!!"

"Bronya feels safe here."

Looking at Bronya's expressionless face, Kiana's sapphire blue eyes were filled with anger.

Yet, she didn't know if Bronya was being serious or faking it.

After all, what happened today...

Even she felt a jolt when she saw Lin Nai fall to the ground.

Not to mention Bronya, who saw Lin Nai fall to protect her with her own eyes.

Kiana stared intently at Bronya in front of her.

Bronya instinctively flinched.

"Alright, alright, shall we continue the story?"

Lin Nai, sensing the wrong atmosphere, quickly interjected. Kiana's expression was truly rare.

Kiana let out a soft hum, looking up and down at Lin Nai and Bronya.

No.

She was still very unhappy leaving it like this.

After thinking for a few seconds, Kiana nudged Bronya and leaned against Lin Nai.

Bronya didn't mind at all and squeezed back.

Lin Nai remained silent.

You two should at least consider my feelings...

Helplessly, he could only stabilize the two of them.

And then he continued telling the story.

In the closet, Tesla and Einstein exchanged glances.

"Bird's Nest Head, are we really not getting out tonight?"

"Probably."

Einstein glanced through the gap, "I wonder how long Lin Nai's story will take."

"Dr. Tesla, what are you thinking about?" Einstein noticed the silent Lobster Doctor.

Lobster Doctor rubbed her chin, "Bird's Nest Head, do you think these stories Lin Nai tells would be a big hit if they were made into movies?"

"..."

Bird's Nest Head... No, Einstein blinked, completely unable to understand how Tesla's thoughts had gone this far.

Tesla also scratched her head, "It's not like I wanted to think this way..."

"Bird's Nest Head, you know, we scientists are always short on funding..."

Einstein nodded, "That's true, but we can't use this story."

"That's why it's a shame... The experimental machine's damage during the day has already made our already tight budget even worse."

Einstein remembered the two mechs that had been destroyed during the day.

Because Lin Nai intervened, the Tank Honkai Beast didn't smash into those two mechs, but they were already broken due to Lin Nai's ultimate.

With that thought, Einstein let out a silent sigh.

How to put it…

Sigh…

It's heartbreaking just thinking about it…

And so, time passed without anyone noticing.

Just as Tesla and Einstein were leaning against each other, about to fall asleep…

"Alright, that's all for today's story."

Lin Nai clapped his hands. Two episodes were about enough, no more.

Kiana reluctantly got up, unsure if she was reluctant to leave the story or to get up from someone.

But there was no other way; today was enough.

Even though she was still not satisfied, it was close enough.

However, as soon as Kiana got up, she noticed a certain duck sitting in Lin Nai's arms, showing no intention of moving.

A question mark appeared above her head.

"Bronya, we should go."

"Bronya will stay with Lin Nai tonight."

"No!!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana frowned and immediately retorted to Bronya.

Bronya tilted her head, "Why not?"

"A man and a woman should not touch!"

"But we were very close just now."

"Ugh…"

Kiana was momentarily speechless. She was just a minor, barely a teenager.

How could she understand why she didn't want this?

It wouldn't be a problem for them to sleep together, and Lin Nai wouldn't do anything.

But…

She felt unhappy.

"Bronya, hurry up and go!" Kiana reached out her hand.

Bronya dodged and snuggled closer into Lin Nai's embrace.

Seeing this, Kiana looked at Lin Nai, who showed no reaction.

But when she looked up, she saw that Lin Nai had already lowered his head, likely asleep.

That made sense…

Lin Nai had been awake for a long time. Driving for several days straight was something most normal people couldn't handle.

A trace of heartache flashed across Kiana's face.

Bronya, of course, also noticed Lin Nai's condition and quietly got out of his arms.

She then slowly pushed Lin Nai over and changed his position.

"If you, stupid Kiana, are worried, you can stay with us."

"I…"

"Bronya is not leaving tonight," Bronya said, looking up with a serious expression.

"Lin Nai is tired because of Bronya, so Bronya will take responsibility for Lin Nai."

Bronya's initial motive was the vivid memories of what Lin Nai had done for her during the day.

Even though Lin Nai was later energetic and capable of doing various things, it couldn't hide the fact that Lin Nai's face was full of exhaustion, yet his strong spirit had still come to save her.

He wanted to help her even though he was injured…

All these things kept flashing through her mind, like pop-up windows on a computer.

At the very least, she couldn't forget them now.

That's why she came over late at night, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Lin Nai was someone she could rely on, and she wanted to do something within her capabilities.

She had originally planned to give Lin Nai a massage and let him sleep well.

But she hadn't expected Kiana to be here.

Then she got engrossed in listening to the story and was sure she had forgotten her original purpose…

"I won't let you do whatever you want to Lin Nai!"

Kiana puffed out her cheeks, huffed twice, and climbed onto the bed. "I'm staying here today too!"

"Is that so."

Bronya pulled the covers over Lin Nai and ignored Kiana, already lying down.

Kiana, not to be outdone, lay down as well.

The two Doctors in the closet exchanged a look, each seeing the helplessness in the other's eyes.

They simply hugged each other silently, thinking they'd just sleep like this.

They weren't going anywhere tonight anyway.

They'd wait until tomorrow...

This is so hard...

Chapter 27: Seele's Stand-in is Black Seele!

The next morning.

Lin Nai felt uncomfortable all over, as if an octopus was tightly wrapped around its body.

Without opening its eyes, Lin Nai had no idea what was restraining it.

But since there was no sense of danger and it was still half-asleep, it happened very quickly.

This led to Lin Nai having no desire to get up.

However, being entangled by this unknown thing was really quite uncomfortable...

"Mmm..."

Slowly opening its eyes, the first thing that met its gaze was Kiana's drooling face.
