He had only been back in time for a few minutes, but two full hours had already passed.
But if that's the case, if I stay here a little longer, won't time flow into the future?
Han Zhou quickly gave up thinking. The issue of time was not something he could figure out, not to mention that he could not determine for the time being whether this was a form of time travel.
However, in order to verify his guess about the future, he planned to leave a message in his room later to see if he could hear the voice he just left at some time after returning to reality.
But I didn’t have the same thoughts and memories as I do now, and I don’t know if I would regard this as a haunted incident...
Wait...Han Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up.
Since the memory of leaving reality will inevitably disappear, and time has the possibility of flowing into the future, he can just "leave a message" in his room later on all the memories and thoughts here, so that his future self will know about this experience, right?
If successful, it would be equivalent to verifying the conjecture that time here flows very quickly and that time flows from the past to the future. Even if it fails, there will be no loss.
You can give it a try.
Han Zhou was somewhat excited. He rushed upstairs and pushed open the door with blue flowers printed on it - that was Xiao Xiaoxiao's room.
He moved quickly, grabbing the white edge of the clothes before it disappeared in the corner of the wall, and pulled it back with all his strength while shouting, "How long do you want to hide from me?"
"Let go!"
Xiao Xiaoxiao's angry voice came from the wall.
Han Zhou said unhappily, "I won't let go. I finally found you. How could I let go and let you run on?"
"I won't run away! Let go of me!" An arm stretched out from the wall and hit his hand hard.
Han Zhou said indifferently, expressionless: "Come out of the wall first, then I will trust you and you won't run away."
"Let go first and I'll come out!"
"You come out first and I'll let go."
"Let go first and I'll come out!"
"You come out first and then I'll let go."
"Let go!"
"You come out."
"..."
The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time. Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was hiding in the wall, could no longer bear it and said angrily, "You are almost pulling my clothes off, how can I get out!"
Han Zhou was stunned, and then he noticed that the corner of his clothes, which was originally only slightly exposed against the wall, had been torn out a long way at some point, and one sleeve had been pulled off. No wonder Xiao Xiaoxiao only used one hand to hit him, and the other hand was probably trying hard to hold down the only remaining clothes on his body.
His old face turned red and he said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"I didn't mean it, let go!" Xiao Xiaoxiao said fiercely.
"No, if I let you go I'll run away."
Han Zhou remained unmoved and warned, "I will continue to hold the corner of your clothes. If you dare to run, don't blame me for tearing all your clothes off."
"You stinking rascal!"
"Whatever you say, I won't let you get away."
Han Zhou shook his head disapprovingly, and as he spoke, he reduced the strength in his hands, but still held the corner of the clothes tightly.
Xiao Xiaoxiao seemed quite dissatisfied with this. She dragged his arm into the wall and punched and kicked him, even biting him. Seeing that this guy didn't cry out in pain at all, she muttered to herself, "He's really thick-skinned", and gave up the idea of asking him to let go.
"If you don't come out yet, are you thinking about how to escape?"
Han Zhou's suspicious voice came from outside the wall.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It takes no time to get dressed!" Xiao Xiaoxiao said angrily, "It's all your fault that you pulled my clothes off. It was so dark in the wall that I couldn't even find my sleeves!"
Han Zhou smiled awkwardly.
After a while, Xiao Xiaoxiao, with a dissatisfied look on her face, finally came out from the wall. Her hair was wet and her clothes were disheveled. If Ouyang Lianyu and others saw her in such a miserable state, they would probably think that Han Zhou had done something to her.
She sat on the bed in a sullen mood. Seeing Han Zhou laughing beside her, she immediately frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at hiding there!"
Han Zhou couldn't help laughing: "Where did you get this pajamas from? They don't fit me well, do they?"
"I want you to take care of it!"
Xiao Xiaoxiao took her foot out of her slippers and kicked him hard.
Han Zhou was used to this, and patted his trouser legs nonchalantly. However, he stopped laughing, and his expression gradually became strange. He wondered, "Wait... why does this look so much like my pajamas?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao blushed and quickly turned her head to deny: "It's not your pajamas!"
There was something wrong with this guy's reaction. Han Zhou became more suspicious: "Could it be that you got your clothes wet when you ran out just now, so you took my pajamas to wear?"
"I told you it's not yours!"
"Yeah."
Han Zhou stood up and said, "My pajamas are in my backpack. Come back to the room with me to check. I'm also soaked."
In order to prevent Xiao Xiaoxiao from escaping, he never let go of the corner of her clothes. When he stood up, he was not careful and accidentally lifted her clothes up a little.
Xiao Xiaoxiao was embarrassed and annoyed, and pushed his hand away: "Who wants to go back to your room with you to watch you change clothes!"
She felt a little guilty because the pajamas she was wearing were indeed Han Zhou's.
"It doesn't matter, I can crawl into the wall and change." Han Zhou said indifferently.
Xiao Xiaoxiao was anxious: "I told you I won't go!"
"Really not going?" Han Zhou glanced at her.
"Don't go!"
"It's okay if you don't want to go. Then lend me your clothes." Han Zhou sat back on the bed and said shamelessly, "You don't want to see me catch a cold, do you?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao was almost so angry that she laughed. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "How shameless! You can't wear my clothes."
Han Zhou didn't care and shook his head, "Then hurry back with me. I'll go back and take a hot bath."
He looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao's profile, wanting to see her reaction. If Xiao Xiaoxiao could understand the meaning of "go back", it would be enough to show that she was very aware of her current situation.
Xiao Xiaoxiao fell silent, looking a little lost, and stood up after a while and said, "Let me go, I'll get you some clothes."
"Take your clothes?" Han Zhou asked.
"Don't you want to wear it?" Xiao Xiaoxiao gave him an unpleasant look.
Han Zhou had expected this, and he sighed and said, "It seems like you really don't want to go back."
Xiao Xiaoxiao turned her head away and ignored him.
The room fell silent.
The girl gathered her wet long hair in front of her body, and water droplets slid down the ends of her hair and fell onto the smooth floor, making a "tick-tick" sound.
"Wipe it."
A towel was handed over. "It's so cold. You might catch a cold if you just change your clothes without drying your hair."
"Thank you."
Xiao Xiaoxiao took the towel hesitantly, put it on her head and wiped her hair gently.
Han Zhou smiled and said regretfully: "It's a pity that you don't want to go out with me, otherwise I can use a hair dryer to help you blow dry your hair. Even though I don't use a hair dryer very often, my hair blowing skills are quite good."
"How can you be good at blow-drying your hair if you don't use the hair dryer much?" Xiao Xiaoxiao said with disdain.
"Those sword-fighting wizards in novels can defeat top-notch masters the first time they touch a sword. So what's so strange about me being able to blow a hair dryer really well the first time I touch it?"
"So you're a hair-drying wizard?"
Han Zhou shrugged and said with a smile: "Don't you look like one?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao pulled the towel down to cover half of her face, and after a few seconds she said unhappily, "I think you look like a boasting genius."
She wiped her hair silently, then threw the towel in her hand on Han Zhou's head, "You're all wet, wipe it too."
Han Zhou picked up the towel and looked at it, then asked worriedly, "Is your towel clean?"
"Use it if you like!"
Xiao Xiaoxiao was so angry that she pretended to take the towel back.
"No, no, no, I'll use it."
Han Zhou was just joking and didn't mean to dislike the towel. He quickly grabbed the towel and started to wipe his hair.
Although he wouldn't catch a cold, the feeling of having wet hair was very uncomfortable.
Xiao Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, stopped talking, and turned to look at the heavy rain outside the window.
It always rains at times like this... she thought.
After a long time, Han Zhou put down the towel and suddenly asked a question that caught her off guard.
"Xiao Xiao, have you remembered what happened in the past?"

Chapter 388 Home Visit
"call--"
The noisy sound of the hair dryer could be heard in the hospital ward early in the morning. The withered yellow leaves outside the window kept swaying on the branches, as if they were blown by the hot wind in the ward.
"I suggest you don't move around, or your hair will be sucked into the hair dryer."
Han Zhou looked at the petite girl sitting in the wheelchair with helplessness. In order to make her behave herself, he made up a terrible lie like fooling a child.
The girl named Xiao Xiaoxiao has been staying in the hospital for a week. She needs to clean herself, but she cannot wash herself due to her limited mobility. He has no choice but to help her personally.
Of course, the help here is limited to washing hair. He naturally can't help with taking a bath, so he can only ask Guzheng for help.
A few days ago, Gu Zheng came with him to the hospital to visit a girl named Xiao Xiaoxiao. After learning about her experience, she was deeply touched and expressed her willingness to help take care of her.
But compared to him, Guzheng, as the class monitor, is much busier on weekdays and can only come to the hospital a limited number of times, so he has basically been responsible for taking care of Xiao Xiaoxiao.
He has submitted an application to his class teacher to transfer from a boarding student to a day student. If nothing goes wrong, it will be approved soon, and he will be able to spend more time in the hospital.
To be honest, he didn't know why he would be so kind-hearted one day. He was clearly living a precarious life, but he still spent time on a girl he met for the first time.
