By the time she returned to the dormitory, she was soaked to the skin.
In front of the dormitory door, Flossie Wright threw her umbrella outside before pushing the door open and entering.
It was dim outside, but the lights were on inside the dormitory. Belinda Nichols hadn’t gone to bed yet and was sitting on a chair reading a book, while Mariana Buck and Jessie Grain were watching a famous horror movie together.
Upon hearing the door open, the three people who were busy turned their heads to glance at Flossie Wright.
Jessie Grain looked at her drenched figure, her eyebrows moved slightly as she greeted her, then continued watching the movie with Mariana Buck who didn’t seem to care much.
Belinda Nichols frowned.
Flossie Wright raised her hand and passed Belinda Nichols’s dinner to her.
After looking at her, Belinda Nichols silently took the dinner, paused for a moment, and then coolly said, "Go take a shower."
Flossie Wright nodded.
The weather wasn’t cold, but being drenched like this, as if she had just swum through the sea, she certainly didn’t want to catch a cold. She had already planned to take a hot shower anyway.
"Hurry up."
Belinda Nichols, touching the dinner, urged her.
The dinner Flossie Wright brought must have been fresh from the kitchen and supposed to be hot, but after being in the rain for so long, it had retained only a bit of its warmth. However, by the time Flossie Wright finished her shower, it would probably be completely cold.
Flossie Wright got the message and tossed her dinner onto her desk, then grabbed a fresh set of casual clothes and went to shower.
She only had two sets of clothes to change into. The previous set had just been washed and wasn’t dry yet, and now this set was wet through, so she had no choice but to change into different apparel.
Luckily, it was forecasted to rain for the next few days. Clothes would get wet after just two minutes outside, so it didn’t matter much whether laundry hung up to dry got wet or not.
After a quick hot shower, Flossie Wright came out drying her hair, ready to eat her dinner.
Unfortunately—
As Belinda Nichols had expected, it was stone cold.
Luckily, the food still tasted decent, cold as it was, and Flossie Wright ate it without too much trouble.
"When are you going to bed?"
After she finished eating, Belinda Nichols, who had come over at some point, asked her indifferently.
Tying the bag closed, Flossie Wright looked up in confusion, giving Belinda Nichols a puzzled glance.
Asking her...
"Are you tired?" Before Belinda Nichols could reply, Flossie Wright guessed what the matter might be and directly asked her own question.
"Mhm." Belinda Nichols responded.
During the rescue operation, they had hardly slept at all. Even though it was supposed to be in shifts, closing their eyes only brought to mind the bodies, making sleep impossible. Especially among them, there were rookies who were new to such rescue efforts and struggled to adapt.
Belinda Nichols didn’t react as much as the others did, but she still had her moments, having been jolted awake several times from her dreams.
Flossie Wright suddenly understood as she looked at her.
No wonder she hadn’t slept since coming back and was still up after her shower, waiting for her...
"Get in bed," Flossie Wright looked up and added to Belinda Nichols, "I’ll come after I toss out the trash."
That was an acknowledgment.
Belinda Nichols nodded slightly and turned to climb into Flossie Wright’s bed.
Flossie Wright: "..."
Belinda Nichols had sought to sleep with her a few times, and her sleeping posture wasn’t as bad as Flossie had imagined. Under normal circumstances, Flossie Wright would resist, but at that moment, she couldn’t find a reason to refuse.
After throwing out the trash, when she returned, Jessie Grain and Mariana Buck were still watching the movie but had put on headphones.
