"We don't have to squeeze together to get changed." The special bathroom for disabled people was not a small space for one person but it was inconvenient for a man and a woman together. Monique turned around and wanted to escape. "I can go and change in the ladies' bathroom."
"Aren't you afraid that the enemy will catch one of us when we are separated?" Levi did not stop her but just said this while Monique was leaving.
Monique stopped in her tracks after hearing this.
She hated herself for being like this. In the past, when she was with her teammates in the same class, she had never seen herself as a woman. She would do whatever they were doing. She would never be inferior to them.
Only in front of Levi would she regard herself as a real woman. When doing things together, she wouldn't be thinking as a soldier but as a girlfriend.
When performing a task, one should have no distracting thoughts. However, in the face of Levi, she always thought too much, not to mention all the distracting thoughts.
Monique silently took a deep breath and tried to get her mind right. She believed that she could do it. Sure enough, she did it too. She just changed her clothes in front of Levi and then put on makeup to make herself look like another person.
"You won' t be at disadvantage when changing in front of me, right?"
"It's just that I've thought too much. I will remember your teachings and never make the same mistake again in the future."
"Let's go." This time, Levi didn't open the door. Instead, he waited for Monique to leave first. "I'll listen to your instructions. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
"The enemy is still searching for us in the whole city. Let's find a hotel to stay in first. We can figure out a way after this." Most of the people who lived in hotels outside were a man and a woman. There were tens of millions of hotels in Xanduvia City, and there were bound to be tonnes of people staying in hotels. The enemy used this characteristic to find them. Monique thought that it was most reliable to stay in hotels openly.
Levi said instead, "We can't stay in hotels anymore."
Monique looked confused. "Why is that?"
"Their people have been searching the hotels."
Monique was speechless.
Looking at her puzzled face, Levi did not mind about it and explained patiently, "We can change our clothes and dress up as someone else. If they are smart enough, they could erase our makeup with the help of technology. So, no matter what kind of makeup we wear to stay in the hotel, as long as they spread out our photos, we will be immediately exposed."
Monique asked, "But they didn't notice us when we stayed at the hotel last night."
Levi answered, "That was because they didn't realize how ballsy we were. They didn't find out that we were escaping, and the defense in the hotel didn't work."
Monique was stunned when she heard this. Levi was indeed a smart guy!
From this moment on, she would follow behind Levi and help him carry his shoes, wash his clothes, and cook for him. She would be the servant behind him. Oh no, she would be the virtuous woman backing him.
Levi then said, "Let's go for a meal."
Monique asked, "If we can't stay in the hotel, is it safe to have a good meal?"
"Every hotel has surveillance cameras but not necessarily in a restaurant. What do you think, can we have a good meal?"
Monique said, "Alright. Let's eat then."
It wasn't a pleasant meal at all.
