Chapter 13: Oriana's Wish

Seeing that the situation was not right, Orianna hurriedly covered Jeno's mouth.

But it was still a little late, and there was a noise in Colin's bedroom.

"Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"It's really painful~"

"Oops! Father was woken up! ”

"Why don't you hide then?"

Colin's door was opened, and by the moonlight pouring from his bedroom, he saw Jeno's bedding in the hall, and he shook from time to time.

Colin sleeps without the curtains, and in normal times, he sleeps until the first rays of sunlight hit his face.

"Jeno? How do you sleep under the covers? Won't you feel bored? ”

A dull response came from the bed.

"Oh, I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to wake you up, I just saw a rat on the workbench, which reminded me of some bad memories, there were once rats the size of dogs in Zaun that would bite off children's ears in their sleep, I didn't wrap myself in the quilt because I was afraid, I just wanted to prevent it from burrowing into my bed! Well, yes, that's right! ”

"Mouse?" Colin imagined the environment of Zu'an, and felt that it was normal for a few mutant rats to appear once in a while, but the poor people of Zu'an were living in dire straits, and rats began to eat people.

He looked at the workbench, the prosthetic limbs and drawings clearly showed signs of being touched, the position had changed, probably the mouse touched, and the debris-filled workshop was indeed likely to hide the mouse.

"Then I'll clean up the workshop now."

Colin felt it necessary to get rid of the rats, and if his drawings had been made of parchment instead of wax paper, they would probably have been gnawed by now.

"No need sir, wait for tomorrow, Orianna is still sleeping, the sound of moving things will wake her up, you just let me keep it like this!"

Jeno held out a hand from the nest and made a "no problem" gesture.

"Since you've said so, let's do it tomorrow."

Colin didn't doubt him, yawned and went back to his room to sleep.

After a while, Orianna lifted the quilt, revealing the head buried in Jeno's chest, and breathed in the fresh air, the manly breath accumulated in the quilt made her a little dizzy, and both of them were sweating a lot because of nervousness just now.

She sat up, the quilt pulled back, revealing the bodies of the two hugging each other, Oriana's pajamas had slipped under her shoulders, revealing her delicate collarbones, and the slight freckles on her face did not diminish her charm.

"Ahem, why should I hide under the covers with you? Then listen to you lie to my father! It's really sinful, there was nothing in the first place, but now it's good, there is everything! ”

Orianna snarled in a low voice, her teeth baring her eyes like a fried cat.

"How do I know you, I didn't let you hide with me, and then I had to lie when you went into my bed."

"You, you, you, you!! I've never seen anyone thicker than you! ”

Jeno's innocent appearance made her even more crazy, so she covered the other party's mouth with her left hand, and made a gesture with her right hand to hit it.

But Orianna soon realized that Jeno's gaze was falling on her bare chest, and that there was only a faint amount of moonlight in the hall, but it was enough to see the general outline of things, and she hurriedly buttoned her pajamas that were open for some time, and then put the quilt over Jeno's head and pounded it with a cloak, a hammer on her cloak, until she was a little relieved.

Jeno didn't resist, and it didn't hurt much to get a set of broadcast gymnastics through the quilt, but he gave him a lot of benefits.

"Let's continue with the conversation."

Jeno got up and turned on the lamp, took off the prosthetic leg, and handed it to Oriana.

Orianna pursed her lips, took the prosthetic, pressed her left index finger on a hidden button somewhere in her forearm, pinched the middle finger of the prosthetic with her right hand, and after twisting it with skillful force, she removed it intact.

"That's amazing!" Jeno exclaimed, he didn't understand at all.

He took the prosthetic leg from Oriana's hand, and through the small hole in his middle finger, he found that the inside of the arm was hollow, and many delicate gears and bearings were fixed in it, and the key to controlling the entire prosthetic leg was an inconspicuous clockwork transmission at the top of the shoulder.

Maybe for Jeno before, this is a kind of technological spectacle, or a kind of magic, but under the analysis of the primary Hex's technology, he actually understands this nonsense black technology and transforms it into experience.

After using various postures to make sure that the experience points could not be improved, Jeno picked up his middle finger and prosthetic leg, and put it back on with a click.

Orianna next to her saw this scene and fell asleep directly: "It's only been a few minutes since you?" That's it? ”

Oriana couldn't believe that in a matter of minutes, Jeno could figure out something she hadn't learned in years.

"I've already put it back, what do you say?"

"I'll see if it's just a pretense."

Oriana twisted the middle finger of her prosthetic leg a few times in disbelief, and as a result, the middle finger moved freely and without hindrance, and only then reluctantly admitted this fact.

"I was hit hard...... I'm probably going to lose sleep tonight. Oriana's blue eyes dimmed.

Outside the window, dark clouds obscured the moonlight.

The combination of not being able to compare to a Zuan and an outsider hit her hard, and the people of Picheng are always accustomed to putting themselves in a superior position, looking down on anyone, even if they are gentle and kind like Oriana, they will have a little bit of such arrogant qualities.

"If you can't sleep, give me the bed, don't waste it."

Jeno put the prosthetic leg back on the wooden frame and went through the drawings again, and everything was back to its original state.

"If you can't sleep, I won't give it to you!" Orianna said angrily.

"Yo yo yo, the ugly face of the rich."

"Aren't you comforting at all?"

"In Zaun, people suffer from so many worries that they learn to deal with themselves, like a waste picker I know, who is happiest when he digs out a coin from the garbage heap, makes a positive wish for it every time he picks it up, and then saves it up in a piggy bank." Jeno's voice was like rubbing between the sand: "Then he had a jar of dreams and happiness. ”

"Huh... Isn't money meant to be spent? ”

"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that the scavengers picked up the coins and you picked up me."

"Thank you for bringing me out of Zaun, without you I would still be rotting somewhere in the gutter, Oriana, and I'll do my best to grant you a wish."

If it weren't for Oriana, Jeno wouldn't have had this talent.

The dark clouds opened, the moonlight sprinkled down, and the young man's eyes were full of sincerity.

Oriana lifted her eyelids and saw that Jeno was staring at her, making her heart beat a little faster.

How does this sound like a confession? Oriana's eyes flickered, and for a moment, she wanted Jeno to owe this favor all along.

"Can I make a wish for world peace?" She raised the corners of her mouth and teased playfully.

"It's too foul, the news of world peace may have to wait for my great-great-great-grandson to come to my grave and burn it to me, provided that I can find a wife to carry on the lineage."

"Poof, that's early. In that case, let's let Zuan get better quickly...... May the gears turn forever. ”

It's not that Oriana doesn't believe in Jeno, she just doesn't want to use this wish on herself, she is already very happy compared to others, she is very satisfied with her current life situation, and she doesn't need to change anything.

"Okay." Jeno gladly complied.

Watching Oriana return to the bedroom, Jeno twisted the knob of the lamp counterclockwise to the end, and then slept peacefully.
