Since Yanis moved into the studio, Zane had never been to Yanis's room before. This was his first time entering it. At a glance, he could see everything in the room, and Yanis had kept everything clean and tidy.
"You sit for a while, I'll go get the medicine box," said Yanis.
Zane nodded and obediently sat on the chair by the table. Yanis took off her coat and hung it aside before turning around to head towards Bonnie's place to fetch the medicine box.
However, as soon as she reached the stairs, she met Bonnie, who was wearing her pajamas.
The two of them locked their eyes on the stairs. "Where are you going?" asked Bonnie.
"I'm going to your place to get the medicine box," replied Yanis.
As soon as she heard it, Bonnie looked at her directly and asked with concern: "Are you injured?"
Yanis shook her head. "Not me."
When she heard this, her gaze shifted past Yanis towards her room door, where she took a quick look before asking: "Did you bring someone back? Aren't you afraid that Zane will feel wronged again?"
Yanis cleared her throat lightly. "It's just him."
Bonnie softened a bit after hearing that name mentioned by Yanis: "Zane?"
Yanis nodded in response.
"Oh," said Bonnie, before turning around: "The medicine- box is in my office cabinet on your right side; go ahead and take it yourself because I'm going to bed now."
Yanis followed her and said, "What do you want to see me about?"
Bonnie stopped walking and leaned over the banister to look at Yanis. "It's okay. I just wanted to have a small talk, but I don't want to talk right now. I'm just going to sleep."
And she added,"I'm smart; I don't want to get in your way."
Yanis didn't know how else to respond but simply said: "Alright then; you go sleep now – I'll help him with some medication, so he can leave."
Bonnie originally intended on continuing upstairs, but upon hearing what was just said by Yanis, she ran back down instead and walked up to Yanis. "Nope! You brought someone home late at night just for some medication? Is every pharmacy outside closed or did they run out of stock? Or maybe this guy has no arms or legs? Or perhaps Albi went off exploring space somewhere far away?"
All these questions left poor Yannis momentarily stunned until he finally regained enough composure to ask calmly: "What are you trying to say exactly?"
Bonnie felt a sense of powerlessness at Yanis being a fool. "You're not planning on getting back with him, are you? You're almost healed now," she said.
After listening to Bonnie's words, Yanis seemed to understand something and stared at her for a while before saying, "What are you thinking about all day?"
Bonnie choked up and said, "Never mind. They say the main character doesn't need to be in a hurry; it's the bystanders who die of anxiety!"
With that, Bonnie snorted and went upstairs.
Yanis stood there watching Bonnie leave, her brows furrowed slightly.
Although Bonnie's words were not straightforward, Yanis understood what she meant.
Men and women together were inevitably about these things.
But she didn't want it right now. It was better to take things step by step.
Yanis didn't dwell on what Bonnie had said, but instead took the medicine box upstairs directly.
When he got upstairs, Zane was still sitting quietly in a chair, but holding the photo she had brought from D-king Castle for the first time in her hands. The photo had been reframed since then.
When Yanis saw Zane holding the frame in his hands, she paused briefly before approaching nonchalantly. "If you want it back, take it," she said without any fuss, "I almost forgot it."
