The first night aboard the Horror came in the midst of Jiajia's yawning.

The environment of the polar night can easily make people lose the concept of day and night, and a guy like Gao Diver, who is already close to a demigod, naturally doesn't feel anything. After a busy day on the deck, the high diver who returned to the room realized that Jiajia was sleepy, and hurriedly entered the cubicle of the captain's room and looked at the rudimentary bathroom.

The Horror itself is equipped with a hot water circulation system to heat the ship's holds, and the boiler can continue to burn for four hours after a single filling of coal. Therefore, the temperature in the captain's room at this moment is almost close to fifteen degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to the weather in early spring in the north. Suddenly entering the house from the extremely cold temperature outside, the feeling is that even a high diver feels like he is about to melt.

In the restroom, Gao Qian distinguishes between an old-fashioned, bulky wooden flushing toilet and a tub that looks like a bidet. The tub is metal, which looks more like the shape of a seat. There is a mirror by the sink, and when you turn on the copper faucet, you can use the washbasin to receive hot water.

Gao Qian is glad that the Horror's toilet has entered the age of civilization, rather than having two large holes in the bow of the water, as was the case with earlier ships.

Gao Qian filled the bath bucket with hot water, tested the water temperature, and returned to the room, where Jiajia sat on a white cotton sheet, wrapped in a quilt, and yawned with tears in her eyes.

"Jiajia, come and take a shower. Gao Qian picked up Jiajia with the quilt and put it in front of the bathroom door, then peeled off the quilt with his eyes closed and closed the door.

"That yellow lump is soap. Gao Qian instructed uneasily, "Sit in the bathtub, be careful not to slip on the handle, wash quickly, beware of catching a cold when the water is cold." ”

After a pause, Gao Qian asked again, "Jiajia, do you remember how to take a bath?"

There was a clanging sound in the bathroom, it sounded like Jiajia was studying the bath bucket, Gao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, Jiajia is so smart, she should be able to handle it.

He turned around, opened the cabinet in the captain's quarters, and found a few men's cotton shirts inside. The shirt was cleanly washed and slightly yellowed, and the collar and cuffs continued the extravagant style of the last century, embellished with intricate lace. There is a faint smell of perfume on clothes, and Westerners are used to wearing perfume in order to hide their body odor, and it seems that this captain is no exception.

Gao Qian found a brown-red flannel bathrobe, cut the hem and sleeves in half with scissors, pondering this length, Jiajia should be just right to wear indoors.

After doing this, Gao Qian wiped the hot sweat on his head, and listened attentively, Jiajia was humming a ballad in the bathroom in an unknown tune, a thin child's voice, with a relaxed cheerfulness. A smile also appeared on the corner of Gao Digen's mouth.

"Jiajia, have you washed it?"

The bathroom door opened, and Jia Jia stood there drenched in water, steaming all over her body. Gao Qian hurriedly grabbed a large towel on the shelf and wrapped it in Jiajia, put it in the quilt, and then continued to dry her dripping hair.

"Big brother, it's so comfortable to take a bath, let's wash it together in the future?"

"Ahem, no. ”

"Why? Big brother doesn't like to take a bath?"

"Ahem, the big brother is a man, and men don't take a bath. ”

"Oh, Jiajia wants to be a man in the future. ”

"No way!"

"Why?"

"Ahem, this question, I'll ask your mother later, now, put on your pajamas. ”

Gao Qian held up a men's shirt with lace in his hand.

Jiajia looked disgusted.

"Jiajia doesn't like to sleep with clothes on. ”

"Definitely. ”

"Why?"

"Ahem, that, keep warm, hygienic, in short, all kinds of good, hurry up and put it on. ”

"The big brother didn't sleep in pajamas. The eldest brother doesn't even take off his clothes when he sleeps. ”

I'm putting you to sleep, so I'm going to get up and do something, okay?

"Well, put it on, otherwise the big brother won't sleep with you in the future. Gao Qian's face was serious, but his heart was sweating. Secretly glad that this was in the polar region, and no one could hear such a shocking conversation. Otherwise, I will inevitably have to wear a hat that is not as good as a beast.

When Jiajia sleeps, she must hold a high dive. Considering that for seven years, the little girl has been alone, just such a hobby, and after Gao Potential failed to stop it in the early stage, he has been accommodating her.

However, Jiajia is not a five-year-old girl after all, although in terms of high potential, she still thinks she is a fragrant and soft meat ball. Gao Qian felt that even if he couldn't get rid of Jiajia's problem of falling asleep by herself, this habit of sleeping naked always had to be changed. At least when sleeping with herself, Jiajia has to put on her pajamas.

"Jiajia doesn't like this, Jiajia likes bearskin. ”

"Alas, I know, when I get to land in the future, I'll buy Jiajia something better, okay?" Gao Qian tried to put his shirt on Jiajia's head.

Jiajia writhed around uncooperatively: "What kind of smell is this, it's so annoying." ”

"It's a perfume, and it doesn't taste like it's a little bit bad, but it's ...... Jiajia!"

Jiajia was like a sleek rabbit, jumping at the foot of the spring bed: "Don't wear it, I hate it, Jiajia wants to sleep!" The dark chestnut wet hair sprinkled on the pink skin, like aquatic plants covered with pearls.

"Jiajia!" Detective Gao Qian put his arm back into the quilt and said solemnly, "Jiajia can't appear in front of her big brother without clothes in the future." ”

"Why?"

"Because...... Jiajia is a girl, and girls must wear clothes. ”

"The big brother doesn't wear clothes in the sea, Jiajia wants to be a man like the big brother. ”

God, help me.

Eyeless appeared silently in the room.

Gao Qian looked back in surprise: "What are you doing here?"

The Eyeless Spirit stood silent for a moment, then disappeared silently.

Jiajia curled up in the quilt and giggled, "Big brother, you just summoned Lu Mengge. ”

"I—do I have it?"

The thin, white arms wrapped around the neck of the high dive.

"Big brother, Jiajia is sleepy, sleep. ”

Gao Qian sighed in frustration and stuffed Jiajia back into the quilt: "Okay, sleep." ”

Lying down on the side of Gao Qian's bed, Jiajia snuggled up to her cold body outside the quilt, and her cold little hands also consciously reached into Gao Qian's arms to absorb warmth.

Alas, forget it, as for the pajamas thing, damn it until tomorrow.

The Horror, under the tuit of the whale god, made its way slowly southward. The hull of the ship swayed through the waves, and the high diver, who had no sleep, also fell asleep in a daze.

He dreamed of Lin Qian, dreamed of the days when he used to mix oil in honey, and dreamed of how soft and beautiful Lin Qian was. Until he was awakened by a strange knocking sound.

He snapped his eyes open and sat up.

"Knock knock," the knocking sound continued, and he stared at the deck at the head of the bed. There is a round window, and on the other side of the window is the corridor of the officer quarters, which is mostly designed in this way, supposedly so that the officers can get their hands on weapons in the event of a mutiny on board.

And the strange knocking sound came from outside the porthole.
