Hello, Arknights

The storage room had been tidied not long ago, so it was not messy. However, Ling Dengxian's preconceived impression made him quite cautious when he pushed the door.

"If you're afraid of the dark, just turn on the light." A'ran followed in and raised his hand to turn on the light with a "click".

"It's not that I'm afraid of the dark, oh shit!" A'ran smiled and immediately turned on the light, making an apologetic gesture as if he could see his resentful expression.

Very good, this was the first time he failed since coming to the Ark World.

"... Don't play like this next time... Let's clean up the sleeping place first." Under Chi Yu's contemptuous gaze, Ling Dengxian found the inner room used for sleeping with his belongings. Just as Ms. Wison said, although there were a lot of sundries, there was indeed no trace of strange animals.

Ling Dengxian felt relieved after seeing this. After all, the beasts in the mobile city were different from those in the wilderness. The former had no edible value and would eat you, use you, sleep with you, and destroy your furniture, while the ones in the wilderness were edible and supported countless food chains. They were worthy of admiration. The two were like the mice and prairie voles in his original world...

"Let's start the battle." Ling Dengxian and A'ran looked at each other and symmetrically rolled up their sleeves to start tidying up the messy bed and table.

A'ran was a little younger than him, and was very good at keeping house. Ling Dengxian was really surprised. He didn't mean to offend her, but A'ran was blind, and he completed the task quite well by simply reaching out his hands and exploring with his toes.

"A Ran..."

"Hmm?" Custer turned around when his name was called. "What's the matter?"

"You are amazing." Ling Dengxian tried not to use words that might be biased. Ah Ran understood what he meant, and gently shook her hair in front of her forehead, smiling: "You will get used to it. My hearing and sense of touch are quite good accordingly. Don't lie to me."

"Why would I lie to you...I have hands and feet, why can't I fight for it myself?" Ling Dengxian waved his hand to indicate that it was impossible, and then the two of them continued to lower their heads and work seriously.

At this time, the setting sun was hanging over the building, and a glow with a texture like a curtain descended from the only window of the storage room that opened to the inner room. The two people in the inner room quickly finished cleaning. Looking at the tidy room, Ling Dengxian straightened his back and couldn't help but sighed, "It's over now."

It's over... No, it's not over yet, there is still a goal... Go, ah... deal with it...

Ling Dengxian did not notice the sudden stiffness of the person next to him, but took a step forward to the bedside, prepared to take out the diary and start writing for today.

“No!!” Ah Ran let out a scream that sounded like a wail, as if something was torn into pieces midway. Ling Dengxian didn’t even have time to say “Ah?” before he understood what was going on, as he was thrown away and smashed onto the bed by a force that appeared out of nowhere. The bed was shaking from the sudden attack, and Ling Dengxian was still in a daze. Ah Ran rushed over as if trying to grab something: “Ling Dengxian!”

"...Uh, I'm here?" Ling Dengxian looked at Ah Ran blankly. He was lying on the bed with Ah Ran's hands on both sides of his body. It looked like...

"What's wrong! What's wrong! You two wouldn't be here on the first day and--" When the third person pushed the door in anxiously, some misunderstandings were bound to arise.

Ling Dengxian let out an indescribable scream.

Unfortunately, his reaction in this embarrassing situation is destined to be remembered as a dark history for the rest of his life.

Ten minutes later, Ling Dengxian and A'ran sat side by side on the bed, one foot apart, without saying a word. Ms. Wesson's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them in a subtle way.

"Well, I won't restrict your personal freedom, but you must not neglect your work." As a businessman, it was obvious that he had experienced a lot of ups and downs. Weisen quickly put the matter behind him. Ling Dengxian nodded repeatedly, and A'ran also nodded, obviously not wanting her to misunderstand.

After explaining some precautions for the storage room, Wesson knew that if he continued to stay here, the two of them would probably be too uncomfortable to communicate, so he dealt with the last thing:

"By the way, these are the staff uniforms you two will wear tomorrow. Wear them properly and don't get them wrong. That's it, I'm leaving first. Don't make a fuss about nothing and don't let the residents nearby come knocking on my door to complain." Wesson waved his hand, put down the two sets of black and white clothes and left without any further delay.

After sending the witness away, Ling Dengxian fell on the bed with a thud, his face flushed to his ears and he was unable to speak.

Ah Ran didn't even call him what to call! No, he's down there... Fuck him down there and up there! Ling Dengxian twitched for a moment and immediately recovered. He couldn't let Ah Ran see him like this again!

"Aran?" The white-haired Carters did not respond.

"Hey! A'ran!" Ling Dengxian raised his voice. A'ran turned to him half a beat late and gave him a questioning look.

"Why aren't you talking?" Ling Dengxian asked anxiously. He had been explaining to Ms. Wison just now, and A'ran had been in a daze the whole time.

"Hmm... Are you asking me why I don't talk?" A'ran raised his hand and touched his ear. "You were too loud before and I was too close to you. I had tinnitus and it's only getting better now..."

Ling Dengxian was about to burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, I'm fine now." A'ran smiled and asked, "Did Ms. Wesson say anything?"

Ling Dengxian hurriedly repeated what Ms. Wesson had said, and the two tried to forget about it.

"Then let's look at what we're going to wear tomorrow."

Ling Dengxian and A'ran each picked up a piece of clothing and unfolded it. In his hand was the most classic black and white waiter uniform. Although it did not look as wear-resistant as his other clothes, this piece of clothing was not originally designed to be worn when fighting.

"Well, I can wear it. Although it's not tailor-made, it's nice to wear new clothes..." Ling Dengxian fell silent when he saw the clothes in A'ran's hand.

"Ah, mine looks like a skirt." Ah Ran seemed to be sighing? The tone was very subtle.

"...I forgot to explain it to Ms. Wesson." Ling Dengxian wanted to slap himself. He had just explained for a long time but couldn't even figure out the gender. "No, I have to explain it to Ms. Wesson..."

"It's okay." Ah Ran grabbed him and shook his head, "My hair is pretty long, and I heard from others that I look like a girl -"

"The point is that it's not appropriate for you to wear a skirt!"

"The key is that if you go and explain it clearly, then why did I press you down on the bed just now..." A'ran stopped talking here, and Ling Dengxian stood there in a daze for a long time without saying a word.

"But...you, this..." Ling Dengxian felt at a loss.

"It's okay, I don't mind." Ah Ran smiled, "I won't be embarrassed, and it's totally fine if it's for a friend!"

"Okay, it seems like you still have things to do? It's better to deal with them early." A'ran pushed him. Ling Dengxian silently picked up the diary and sat down at the tidy table, unable to put down his pen for a long time.

Ling Dengxian was destined to sleep restlessly tonight.
