Ji Xingmi patted her chest and left the window, deciding not to scare herself. Gu Jingyi emerged from the restroom, his hair still slightly damp.
"Were you showering?"
"Yes, I haven't showered for days. When I woke up just now, I discovered there was a bathroom here. Do you want to shower? It's just that there's no hot water."
"Then I'll pass. I'll just wash up!" Ji Xingmi handed him a cup of water, which was spiritual spring water from her space. Gu Jingyi took it and drank a large gulp. He then picked up the cup to examine it. This water tasted different from what he had drunk before. Was it his imagination? This water seemed sweeter. However, thinking that Ji Xingmi had given it to him, he didn't hesitate and finished the rest of the water.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Gu Jingyi glanced at Ji Xingmi, who was still washing her face, and went to open the door.
"Good morning, Mr. Gu~ Dr. Ji she..." Xiao Quan Zheng Yi craned his neck to peek inside, not seeing Ji Xingmi.
"She's still washing up. It's been a while, and I still don't know what to call you, sir!?" Gu Jingyi said, looking at the person before him.
"My humble name is Jin Feng. Of course, this is the name I use here. My real name is Xiao Quan Zheng Yi, you can call me anything you like."
"I appreciate your trouble!" Gu Jingyi said sarcastically to Xiao Quan Zheng Yi. He didn't take it to heart. Instead, upon seeing Ji Xingmi emerge, he smiled and said, "Dr. Ji, did you rest well last night? Breakfast is ready. Please follow me."
Ji Xingmi had overheard their conversation while inside and didn't offer him a pleasant expression. However, she also wanted to see what he intended to do to them now. She didn't refuse his offer and followed him to another area.
Xiao Quan Zheng Yi only led them to have breakfast. Ji Xingmi ate a little, and then he led them back to the room. This time, they didn't give Gu Jingyi any more injections, only made him take two pills.
"Mr. Gu, the medication you were given before was out of necessity. These are drugs to detoxify you. After taking them, you will recover in two days!" After watching Gu Jingyi swallow the pills, Xiao Quan Zheng Yi left. As soon as he was gone, Ji Xingmi let go of her worried expression and took Gu Jingyi's pulse again.
"How is it?"
"It seems Xiao Quan has studied medicine! He's not a good person. He'll make you physically weak." Ji Xingmi gave Gu Jingyi a few acupuncture needles, then went to pour him another cup of spiritual spring water.
"Take both of these. One of the pills will make you appear very weak. Cooperate with them! I noticed you didn't eat much earlier. Are you hungry?" Ji Xingmi no longer hid anything, almost revealing it all. He was willing to risk his life with her, so there was nothing to conceal. Gu Jingyi had also noticed this problem over the past few days but had never asked her. Hadn't she said before that she would explain it to him later?
"I'm not particularly hungry. If you're hungry, you eat first!"
"You don't need to save for me, I have plenty in stock!" Ji Xingmi divided the biscuits with him, gesturing for him to eat as much as he liked. To be honest, if it were just the two of them, her stock would be enough for a year. Moreover, her space could grow crops, and she had anticipated various scenarios, so she had prepared seeds and other items.
Gu Jingyi didn't stand on ceremony and ate a few biscuits to fill his stomach.
"I plan to drug them, but I don't have anything ready. Keep an eye on things here while I go and get some medicine."
Gu Jingyi nodded in agreement. Then, thinking of another issue, he asked, "How should I notify you if someone comes?"
"I can hear you speak! I'll go into the restroom to prepare it. You can just knock on the door when the time comes." Ji Xingmi originally wanted to say that she could sense outside movements from her space, but then she thought it would be better to prepare it in the restroom, making it easier to explain.
"Alright, go ahead!" Ji Xingmi closed the restroom door and entered her space. About half an hour later, she emerged from her space. She had also taken a shower, and her hair was still wet when she came out.
"Why aren't you using a towel to dry your hair?" Gu Jingyi went to the restroom, got a towel, placed it on her head, and helped her dry her hair.
"I've made the medicine. Now there's a problem: how can we administer it to them?" Ji Xingmi said softly.
"Are they pills or powder? When I came back earlier, I think I saw their water tank. We could put the medicine in their water tank."
Ji Xingmi asked, "Pills, that dissolve in water! Is that reliable? How do we get close to there?"
"Don't worry about that, I have a way!" Just as Gu Jingyi was speaking, another voice sounded from outside the door.
"Dr. Ji? Are you there?" It was Xiao Quan Zheng Yi's voice. She wondered what business he had coming over now. Gu Jingyi went to open the door again. Xiao Quan Zheng Yi was standing at the entrance.
"Dr. Ji, would you like to take a stroll on the ship? The sea is calm now, and the scenery is quite special."
Ji Xingmi and Gu Jingyi exchanged a look. Then, Ji Xingmi said to him, "I just took a shower. Do you have a hairdryer? My hair isn't dry yet!"
"I apologize, Dr. Ji. We don't have one yet. I'm sure you'll be able to create one quickly once we reach our destination."
