17 Going home with him (2/2)

As he saw himself in the mirror he was surprised. He was so young. Francis examined himself again. He touched his faced, biceps, his abdomen, and his hair.

[ I look so handsome]

It was really his body at the age of 18 or younger. He was thin, skinny and his hair was longer than necessary. It was like he was his 18 years old self again. He was really puzzled by what is happening around him. The he looked around.

The bathroom was as big as the receiving area in their laboratory back in Planet Hilan. There was a round marble table with four chairs. A beautifully arranged flower sat at the middle of it. There was a teapot and a plate of fruits. A large pool was situated near the window, there was a steam coming from it so he was thinking that the water could be warm. He could also smell the relaxing scent coming from the water.

It was making him nostalgic and relaxed. The bathroom gave off a luxurious vibe with its color. White with the touch of gold.

But then he suddenly remembered. It was not Planet Hilan.

”Oh no, will I have to wash my self manually after pooping?” he asked himself. He never did it before. The toilets in Hilan are automatic, it flushes itself, and washes and dries the user after. Although he knew that humans who live in other planet had to do thing manually but he has his spaceship to rely on in case he feel the call of nature.

Taking a bath in planet Hilan was as easy as standing as well. The system will do the work for them, changing the clothes was three clicks away from there controllers (a bracelet type of gadget). It was really a hastle living in the old world.

Then he looked around to see the source of light, he was sure that there was no electricity in that world. A small white spherical object was attached on the walls. He took a chair to examine it up close. There was a crystal inside which was the source of light.

Although he felt awkward doing things he is not used to, he took pride in his multicultural education. After taking a bath and changing his clothes he went out to go to dinner he was surprised that not so far from his room, Helen went out.

It means that his room was adjacent to hers. Helen was also surprised. Based from her memory the building on the west wing of the manor belonged to her because she was the eldest miss of the clan. Him being there only means that they are living under the same roof. She blushed profusely.

Her action reminded Francis of his best friend. Shy but still graceful. He missed her dearly. Her snow white complexion, warm and clear eyes, pure and innocent smile. He was in a daze again. Helen was quite disappointed with his dazed look. So, he looks at everyone with that nerdy look.

It was not a feast, it was a simple dinner with Helen's family. But who knew that she had such a big family. Helen's father has 7 concubine, and there were a total of 24 siblings. It was such a big family he said to himself.

He felt so awkward, as he felt their scrutinizing eyes looking at him. Helen's mother left out the part about the shadows, she told everyone that the dinner was for Francis to thank him for saving Helen's life.

It had been a habit for Francis to ask what kind of food was he eating. Having different cuisines from one country to another is usual. So as with different planets. So it was his habit to ask before he eats.
