Skye shook her head, indicating it was nothing, but she was a bit worried about where she would stay.
Looking at the car, it was impossible to fix it in a short time. She usually lived in her car, and although she still had some money, it wasn't enough for her to stay in a hotel.
"Is there any difficulty?" Seeing Skye's expression, Su Zhan naturally knew she was in a predicament, but he deliberately asked.
Skye hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, I'm homeless because my home needs to be sent for repairs."
"You live in your car?" Su Zhan asked in surprise.
Skye shrugged, mimicking Su Zhan's earlier gesture: "Don't you think it's liberating? Waking up every day, opening the door, and seeing a different environment?"
"Alright, since I've temporarily made you homeless, let me have a chance to make amends. After all, making a beautiful woman homeless is easy to incur divine wrath. I'm currently staying at a nearby hotel, and if you don't mind, I can get a room for you," Su Zhan said.
Skye responded noncommittally, quickly checked the hotel Su Zhan mentioned on her phone, and then said, "It seems it won't be so easy for you to make amends. The hotel you're staying at seems to have no vacant rooms?"
"No way?" Su Zhan was genuinely surprised this time.
"No choice. Everything is being rebuilt everywhere now. Hotel business is much better than before. Not only the hotel you're staying at, but several nearby hotels also seem to have no vacant rooms," Skye said gloomily.
Su Zhan really didn't expect such a coincidence. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "How about you stay in my room? The sofa in my room is quite good, and I think... it should be comfortable to sleep on. Of course, I'm not trying to make a beautiful woman sleep on the sofa."
"This... isn't that good, is it?"
"Compared to sleeping on the street, I think... it's better to stay with a handsome guy, right?"
"Alright, you've successfully convinced me."
The two of them hadn't chatted for long before the repairman arrived. After exchanging contact information, he told them to have the car towed away. Of course, before it was towed, Skye got into the car to retrieve some of her usual items, then warned the repairman not to touch or take anything from the car randomly, and only then somewhat reluctantly let them leave.
"Let me help you with that."
Su Zhan proactively took Skye's belongings and then led her to the hotel where he was staying.
Chapter 0005: Pleasant Time with Skye
"Nice environment. You can afford a sports car and stay in a hotel like this. Are you very rich?" After entering the room, Skye curiously asked Su Zhan.
"It's alright!" Su Zhan put her things away and said casually.
Skye pouted. She could tell Su Zhan deliberately didn't want to talk about it, but she was now somewhat curious and started investigating his identity with her phone. After all, it was better to know a little about him if she was going to live with him.
However, she was surprised to find that she couldn't investigate Su Zhan's identity.
No online traces, no identification. She found it hard to believe.
"Make yourself at home. I'm going to take a shower."
Su Zhan said, then went to the bathroom.
Skye responded, took out her laptop, and her fingers moved quickly.
Entering the bathroom, Su Zhan filled the bathtub with cold Water and subtly released his Ability by placing his finger in the tub. His finger turned slightly red, and soon after, the Water in the bathtub began to boil.
"The Water temperature is just right!"
Su Zhan nodded with satisfaction and soaked himself.
This is one of Extremis's abilities: to make the body release high heat, becoming like magma. Although he had been playing around during this time, he hadn't stopped practicing his Ability. From being unstable at first, he could now make parts of his body generate high heat and control it, which was quite easy for him.
It was a pity that he hadn't had the chance to truly test his Ability. If he were to use it against ordinary people, it would be too much like bullying.
"There's really no information at all. How is that possible? Who... exactly is he?"
In the living room, Skye looked at her computer in disbelief. She had used every method to investigate Su Zhan, but the result was nothing, as if this person didn't exist in this World at all.
He definitely isn't an ordinary person!
Skye had just joined the Tide organization not long ago, with the goal of exposing the hidden truths to the public. Now, she suddenly met a man with no identity and no past, which aroused her curiosity.
She was originally a bit depressed because her car was crashed, but now... she actually felt it was a good thing.
Half an hour later, Su Zhan came out of the shower, dressed in casual pants and a T-shirt, a simple outfit that showed off his good physique. He walked over and sat next to Skye, casually chatting with her.
They mostly talked about everyday observations and quite a bit about China, as China's landscapes and Waters were much better than here. Skye was very curious about him and subtly asked many questions, but Su Zhan brushed them all off.
Both had their own thoughts, but they chatted very happily.
Unbeknownst to them, night fell.
Skye went to the bedroom, while Su Zhan prepared to rest on the sofa.
"Good night."
Skye stood at the door and said to Su Zhan.
"Good night."
Skye closed the door, and Su Zhan lay on the sofa, a smile playing on his lips. "Looks like it's going smoothly..."
That night, Skye didn't sleep very soundly. There was a man outside, and a mysterious one at that. Whether it was curiosity, nervousness, or simply a sudden change of environment, it made it difficult for her to fall asleep.
She tossed and turned for an unknown amount of time before finally drifting off.
When she woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside the window. She checked the time, and it was almost noon.
"Awake? How did you sleep?"
Su Zhan asked.
Skye smiled: "Not bad."
"I just asked the repairman, and it might take two or three days to fix the car. Do you have anything urgent to do? If not, how about you accompany me for a stroll these next few days? I've always traveled alone, and I want to experience the feeling of being envied on the street."
"Envied? Why?" Skye was a little curious.
"Because I'll have a beautiful woman accompanying me, of course others will be envious," Su Zhan said with a smile.
Skye smiled and said, "You're really good at making girls happy. You must have had many girlfriends, right?"
"If I told you I've never had a girlfriend, would you believe me?"
"No way? Then you're still a vir..." Looking at Su Zhan, Skye was incredibly surprised. Su Zhan was so handsome and charming, how could he have never had a woman?
Su Zhan shrugged, helplessly saying, "It's not worth you being so surprised, is it? Have you had many boyfriends?"
Skye shrugged, mimicking him: "I wish I had, but I just haven't met that person yet, and besides... I don't have the mind for dating right now!"
"Excellent!" Su Zhan smiled.
