Chapter 19 - Are you... human?

When Pipi awoke, the sky was already bright. She found herself sleeping in a large, comfortable bed. She hadn't even removed her shoes.

She walked to the living room and found that Helan was wearing a new suit and matching watch.

"If you want to take a shower, you can use my bathroom," he said.

"Oh... no."

She was a bit embarrassed. She went to the bathroom just to wash her face and freshen up.

"I will take you to the subway station." He stood up.

This time, he has a cane in his hand. He really couldn't see anything.

When he went out, Pippi remembered the house number: No. 5, Xianting Street.

He took the blind cane in his hand, but he didn't use it very much. He didn't hesitate like a blind man.

"Don't come, I can go by myself."

"The road down the mountain is very long."

They walked side by side, and Helan Jing kept following her silently, not too slowly, steady and calm.

"I don't believe you can't see anything. You must be able to see at least a little light?" Pipi said.

"No light is visible to me."

"What's your eyesight at night?"

"1.5."

"So you actually don't need to wear any kind of glasses at night."

"Mm."

"So why do you still carry them? Aren't they inconvenient?"

"It's not inconvenient. I'm used to it."

Arriving at the station, Pipi fished out a ticket and was on the point of telling him something, but she hesitated for a second, before suddenly gathering her courage and saying: "Helan Jing, are you... human?"

All of a sudden, laugh lines appeared on Helan's face, which disappeared just as quickly. He bowed his head for a moment, just like he was thinking about how to answer. Then, lifting his head, he indifferently said:

"I'm not human. What about it?"
