As the young nurse Bonnie said, the medical room on this passenger ship was a single room with very limited space. In fact, the room was only big enough to fit a simple modern wall-mounted cabinet, a folding chair, and a bed, with just enough remaining space to move around. On the inner wall, there was another small door that was half-closed. Through the crack of the door, a corner of a sink and mirror could be seen, which was probably a small washroom.

From the layout, the interior of this ship was simple and clean, but it was far from being luxurious. It was estimated to be just a very ordinary small passenger ship with limited tonnage.

There must have been quite a bit of wind and waves outside, as Xia Chuan and Shen Lan could feel the ship swaying slightly. Coupled with the warm yellow light in the room, it was quite exciting at first.

However, as they were kissing, Shen Lan suddenly withdrew when Xia Chuan was almost out of breath. He frowned with a frustrated look, buried his head in the crook of Xia Chuan's neck for a while, then turned over on his back and muttered something in a low voice.

Xia Chuan took a couple of breaths to calm himself down a bit, then opened his misty eyes, lazily raised the corners of his eyes, and glanced at Shen Lan.

As a result, he found that Shen Lan's complexion didn't look too good. He immediately frowned slightly with concern and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Shen Lan looked at him with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a moment, he mumbled a very vague sentence with a pained look, "I seem to be a little seasick."

Xia Chuan maintained his frowning expression and blinked, thinking he had misheard, "What?"

"I said," Shen Lan raised his voice for the first two words, making them very clear, but from the third word onward, his voice lowered again, and he mumbled, "I'm a little seasick..."

Xia Chuan: "..."

After hearing it twice, even if Shen Lan spoke vaguely, Xia Chuan could understand.

"You, a person who has been running around in the sea for who knows how many years, are telling me that you're seasick?" Xia Chuan looked at him with a speechless expression and couldn't help but say.

What's the difference between this and a fish saying it's afraid of water?

Seeing Shen Lan's uncomfortable appearance, Xia Chuan sat up and brought the remaining half glass of water on the bedside table to Shen Lan's mouth, "Drink a little to ease it?"

Shen Lan drank a little with a look of frustration and helplessness.

"Have you ever swum yourself dizzy in the sea before?" Xia Chuan observed his complexion and asked.

"..." Shen Lan felt that he had been personally attacked. His originally slightly poor complexion turned even greener. He looked at Xia Chuan weakly, his upper eyelids drooping, as if saying, "How could you say that about me?"

Xia Chuan looked back at him calmly, then raised his free hand and roughly stroked Shen Lan's short brown-black hair a couple of times, then lifted the glass in his hand and said, "Drink some more?"

"It shouldn't be like this. I've never been seasick before," Shen Lan dejectedly drank another small sip of water from the glass Xia Chuan was holding, suppressing the uncomfortable feeling, and explained with a pained expression.

"Mm." Xia Chuan nodded in rare cooperation, estimating that his male ego was at play, and even found an excuse for him, "It's like people who get carsick but don't get sick when driving themselves."

Unfortunately, this person was not someone who would normally say nice things. It was just that because he spoke little, he seemed less annoying. No matter how one listened to these words, they didn't sound like comfort at all.

Shen Lan's dejected dog fur briefly stood up again as if resurrecting, "I really haven't been seasick before. Okay, although I don't remember if I've ever been on a boat, I should have at least been on one, right? Anyway, this feeling is a first for me."

"What does your seasickness feel like? Do you feel like throwing up?" Xia Chuan pointed to the half-closed small door, "If you want to throw up, there's a place over there. Should I go find the nurse to get some seasickness medicine?"

"I won't throw up, just feel a bit nauseous." Shen Lan grabbed Xia Chuan's waist, tying him down to prevent him from going to find the young nurse. "Don't go. It's not that bad. Actually, if you say nausea, it's not the kind of nausea that makes you want to throw up. It's just that I feel..."

He got stuck for a long time and couldn't think of a suitable description. In the end, it was Xia Chuan who carefully asked him, "Is it physiological or psychological?"

Being reminded by him, Shen Lan suddenly realized, "Now that you mention it, it really seems to be psychological discomfort."

Xia Chuan: "..." He couldn't even distinguish between physiological and psychological. There probably wasn't a second person like this. He didn't know if his brain structure was more human-like or more seafood-like.

Even though the soundproofing effect of this medical room was unexpectedly good, they couldn't really do anything more outrageous here, so Xia Chuan didn't mind the sudden interruption of the deep kiss.

It was Shen Lan who looked frustrated. He drank a couple of sips of warm water to ease the discomfort and wanted to pounce on Xia Chuan again, but was pushed away by Xia Chuan with a finger poking his waist.

After all this tossing and turning, Xia Chuan's previously interrupted train of thought reconnected.

"Dominic..." Xia Chuan thought with a frown, then shook his head, "It always feels a bit familiar as if I've heard it somewhere before."

"What? Is it a very famous passenger ship?" Shen Lan casually echoed, "It does sound quite familiar."

Xia Chuan: "... What are you familiar with? How many things do you even remember in total?"

"I'm just echoing." Shen Lan raised his hand and stroked his chest up and down, probably wanting to smooth out the lingering discomfort. "It really does sound familiar. Is Dominic a rare name?"

"Not really." Xia Chuan replied, and also raised his hand to pat Shen Lan's back a couple of times.

"Then there you go. Maybe we've heard of something else with this name somewhere." Shen Lan considered some possibilities, but his beautiful eyes were scanning the layout of this medical room back and forth.

Although he had been awake since boarding the ship, in order not to be assigned to separate rooms from Xia Chuan, he had been pretending to be unconscious. Whether it was the young nurse giving him an injection, hanging an IV, listening to his heartbeat, or taking his blood pressure for an examination, he pretended to have no consciousness and let them do as they pleased, only refusing to let go of Xia Chuan.

However, the young nurse Bonnie was extremely dedicated to her job and kept watch in this room for no reason, so this was the first time Shen Lan had the opportunity to take a careful look at this medical room.

"I hate these dull gray cabinets..." Shen Lan muttered, "and the color of this wallpaper, so dull and old-fashioned. The color of the border at the bottom looks just like stale blood."

He looked around, his eyes darting, and didn't have a single good thing to say.

Xia Chuan was a bit puzzled, feeling that Shen Lan had never really paid attention to things like decoration and arrangement before. After all, they had stayed in that primitive tribe for a few days and he hadn't seen him complain about anything. This time, for some reason, he was unusually critical of the entire room.

In fact, if he thought about it carefully, Shen Lan seemed to have been acting a bit off since he woke up.

Actually, in Xia Chuan's view, the layout of this infirmary was not ugly at all. It was simple and gentle. Although the style was a bit old-fashioned and traditional, it looked quite soothing.

He didn't know what had poked Shen Lan's sore spot. He casually asked why he disliked it, and after thinking for a moment, Shen Lan actually replied, "I don't know, but it's just very... disgusting."

"I don't have many combinations and arrangements that I dislike in total, but this room has managed to gather them all without exception. It's quite impressive." Shen Lan gave a dry laugh, responding without much expression.

Xia Chuan had previously told the young nurse Bonnie that he wanted to sleep for a while longer. In fact, he was just not used to having someone constantly sitting by the bed staring at him. He needed a quiet environment without disturbance to sort out what had already happened:

For example, they had switched to another world again. It looked modern, but he didn't dare to draw conclusions about how it actually was.

For example, only he, Shen Lan, and Dennis had come here. Laura and little Allen were still left in that primitive tribe, and he didn't know how they were doing or if there was still a chance to find that darkness and successfully come out...

And for example, where Professor Linton was now, whether he was safe or not, whether he had also found the exit and returned to modern times, and what role he actually played in the whole thing...

The young nurse Bonnie was very cooperative and indeed never showed up again. But Xia Chuan was really getting sleepy from the slight swaying of the passenger ship.

He wanted to lie down for a while longer. Shen Lan naturally had no objection. He also stopped picking on the whole room, obediently lay down, and scooped Xia Chuan into his arms, hugging him like a human-shaped pillow.

Xia Chuan reached out to the knob at the head of the bed and turned the wall lamp even dimmer, then quickly adjusted himself to the state most conducive to falling asleep.

Shen Lan had been awake for a day and a night. This time, he didn't have to worry about being moved to another room halfway through, so he also relaxed a little and fell asleep with him.

These two were people who maintained vigilance all year round, so even when they slept, they slept very lightly. Therefore, when, after who knows how long, three urgent and light knocks suddenly sounded outside the door, the two people lying on the bed almost simultaneously opened their eyes at the first moment.

Shen Lan's first reaction was to clench Xia Chuan's hand in a death grip. Without a second word, he began to adjust his breathing and pretend to be unconscious.

Xia Chuan sat up, dragging Shen Lan who was holding him, and managed to move a little towards the door handle, then twisted the door open.

Immediately after, a tall and thin dark figure crashed into Xia Chuan's eyes. When the dark figure stood steady, Xia Chuan took a simple look at the figure's appearance in the dim wall lamp light.

Before the word "matter" could come out of his mouth after "May I ask what", the tall and thin figure had already stepped into the door with an anxious face. He took a brief look around, then lowered his voice and asked Xia Chuan in a hurry, "Has a child about five or six years old come here?"

As soon as this person spoke, Shen Lan, who was lying on the bed pretending to be unconscious, frowned, and his face inexplicably looked a bit odd.
