Chapter 109 Chapter 109

Li Zhou's injuries were not light.

If it happened to an ordinary person, he might have died on the spot.

When he was sent to the hospital, the emergency doctor broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the situation. He hurriedly called the thoracic surgery doctor to come and assess the injury.

Li Zhou, on the other hand, looked calm and even talked and laughed while comforting them.

"Don't worry, go ahead and do whatever you want. I've got your back."

He dared to say it, but the doctors didn't dare to believe it.

People say that S-class Sentinels are superhuman, but they are still human after all and do not have immortality.

Besides, brother, if you weren't spitting blood while talking, this might be more believable.

Xia Meng, standing by, picked up the gauze and helped him wipe the blood with an expressionless face.

Li Zhou leaned back against her softly.

In his current situation, with the front and back of his chest pierced, he couldn't lie down or lie down. He could only lean to his left or right, and couldn't exert any strength.

Fortunately, although Xia Meng usually avoided suspicion towards him, she softened her heart at this time and lent him a shoulder to lean on.

Li Zhou looked up at her serious profile and couldn't help but reassure her, "I'm really fine. If anything were wrong, Lao Wang and the others would have rushed over long ago. I've suffered worse injuries than this during previous missions."

Xia Meng actually knew it too.

Not to mention him, she had seen hundreds, if not thousands, of people with more serious injuries than his.

She just...

A little guilty.

This time it was because of her.

Hermann created this scene just to divert his attention.

Herman never cared about other people's lives.

But the person in front of her... cares too much about the life and death of others.

Li Zhou suddenly said, "Do you remember when I saw you before, I told you that you looked familiar?"

Xia Meng paused, her heart tightening involuntarily.

What flashed before her eyes was that distant, cold, snowy night, and he walked away with his back to her.

They should have been two straight lines, intersecting briefly, and then moving further and further away without looking back.

Could it be that... he remembered something?

Li Zhou was oblivious to her distraction and said, "Actually, I've already met you once before we officially met."

Xia Meng came back to her senses: "When?"

Li Zhou: "It was the day before yesterday, at a train station in the suburbs of Beijing."

Xia Meng was slightly stunned.

What happened that day?

That day, she did go to the suburbs.

She has relatives in the country.

When her parents were young, they went to study in the UK, met and fell in love, and then settled there, and that's how she was born.

She had little contact with China since she was a child, and it is said that her grandparents have passed away.

Perhaps it was for this reason that when Lorenzo targeted her more than ten years ago, he did not deal with her other relatives as well.

She remembered that her mother had an older brother living in China. She had seen him when she returned to visit her family when she was very young. He lived in the ancestral home in the suburbs.

When she came back this time, she originally just wanted to take a look from a distance.

I didn't expect that a new building had already been built in that area. The country has changed so much and so fast in the past decade.

She looked at Li Zhou in surprise.

If she returns, Lorenzo will definitely find someone else to keep an eye on her.

Before leaving, she deliberately used some tricks to shake off the surveillance, but she didn't expect that Li Zhou would discover her whereabouts.

However, this matter had nothing to do with her identity and background. Even if he happened to see it, he wouldn't be able to find out anything.

So she asked frankly: "And then?"

Li Zhou said, "You also risked your life to save a child, didn't you?"

Xia Meng started thinking.

I did save a child that day.

That train station was built several decades ago. All the facilities were old, and there were no closed platform doors on the platform.

The platform was crowded at the time. A couple with a child was sitting on a bench to rest. The woman, who was pregnant with her second child, was sleeping against the back of the chair, while the child was sitting between them, playing with toys obediently.

In the middle of the conversation, the man got up and went to smoke in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, the child slipped off the chair.

Xia Meng was originally leaning against a nearby wall to rest. When she heard the scream, the child had already fallen off the platform and landed on the railroad tracks.

The passersby nearby screamed, but the child was stunned by the fall and didn't say much.

It’s nothing, the next person can just go down and pick it up.

But the fatal train was right in front of us, about to enter the station, and the distance was no more than fifty meters.

A bunch of people stood at the edge of the platform, anxiously waiting for their turn, but no one dared to get off.

Even the child's biological father was stopped when he wanted to go down.

Because everyone knows that going down there would mean sacrificing another life.

It was at this time that Xia Meng pushed through the gap between the people and jumped down.

Before the people around her could react and scream, she had already picked up the child, turned around and jumped back onto the platform.

The train brushed past the corner of her clothes and passed by from behind.

It was a close call.

Afterwards, the child’s parents naturally expressed their gratitude profusely and repeatedly expressed their desire to repay the old man.

She waved her hands and said it was okay.

This kind of operation was something she had been accustomed to since she was a child, and it was not dangerous at all.

She didn't take it seriously at all.

But unexpectedly, Li Zhou saw it.

Li Zhou said, "I was passing by and heard screams from afar. By the time I arrived, I was a step too late. I only managed to see you standing in the crowd, holding that crying child. It was only after I asked people around me that I found out what had happened."

As he spoke, he chuckled at Xia Meng: "Look, if we really meet, won't you make the same choice as me? Maybe I did this today because of your influence."

Xia Meng was a little speechless.

Same choice?

She is not as noble as he is.

It was just a matter of convenience.

She was the only one who could save the child at that time, so she just did it.

She was just...

I just don't want to see anyone die tragically in front of me anymore.

She murmured, "I just because..."

Li Zhou leaned back on her shoulder naturally: "No matter why, we both did the same thing. This proves that we are born the same kind of people!"

Xia Meng: “…”

Xia Meng tilted her head and looked deeply into his eyes.

Those gray-blue eyes were deep, bright and dazzling.

And her face reflected in his eyes seemed to brighten up as well.

"Where is Li Zhou?" There was a sound of footsteps coming from far away outside.

Li Zhou had just leaned his head on her shoulder when Wang Xiangyi came in from outside with his men.

A group of people followed in from behind.

Xia Meng looked up and saw that the leader was Wang Xiangyi, followed by Zhou Qi who had rushed over from school, as well as Pei Ziling, Su Fangxiao and Luo Xunfei.

Wang Xiangyi was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing..."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xia Meng froze and couldn't push away.

Li Zhou leaned on her shoulder openly, without any intention of avoiding suspicion.

It was Zhou Qi who noticed the wound on Li Zhou's chest. He hissed and asked with some concern, "How did you get such a serious injury?"

Zhou Qi glared at Wang Xiangyi angrily. "You said you would take good care of me, but is this how you take care of me? Huh?"

Wang Xiangyi suffered a loss and was almost mad at Gu Qi.

Luo Xunfei, who was standing by, was not surprised.

Wang Xiangyi and Zhou Qi have been senior and junior since they were in college, and their relationship is neither good nor bad.

After graduation, one entered the Black Tower and the other stayed on to teach at the school.

The two people who had nothing in common originally reconnected because of Li Zhou, and every time it was because of Li Zhou.

Almost every time, Wang Xiangyi was scolded by Zhou Qi, who was protecting his son, and it was a horrible sight.

However, Wang Xiangyi is not the kind of person who would put himself in a difficult position.

Every time Zhou Qi scolded him, he would turn around and yell at Li Zhou: "See? Get out of Team Seven!!!"

Li Zhou always smiled playfully: "No, Brother Wang!"

Wang Xiangyi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You call him uncle and call me Brother Wang? Why should I be a generation inferior to him!?"

Li Zhou then readily changed his tone and said, "No, no, no, then I can just call you grandpa, right? Grandpa!"

Fortunately, today's injury was not the most serious one for him.

With the mental preparation from the previous times, these old men were not particularly surprised when they saw his injuries this time.

Zhou Qi, on the other hand, looked at Xia Meng a few more times with some surprise.

Then he turned his head and looked at Luo Xunfei.

Luo Xunfei nodded with a smile.

Xia Meng didn't look at Zhou Qi. She deliberately avoided meeting their gazes.

Seeing that the doctors had finally finished their discussion and were ready to start the operation, she gave up her seat next to Li Zhou.

The operation went smoothly. After Wang Xiangyi and his team received the exact results from the surgeon, they went back with peace of mind.

The sentry's sudden rampage caused considerable social controversy.

If a sentry goes berserk for no reason, it is like a walking time bomb. If one is not careful, it will cause panic among the people and even cause a boycott.

In order to quell public opinion and criticism, the entire Black Tower is in a state of panic.

Teammates from Team 7 came and went, and finally Xia Meng was the only one left, waiting for Li Zhou to wake up.

On the way, a mother and son came by.

The child was the one Li Zhou had rescued before.

The child's mother came with a fruit basket, flowers, and a thick red envelope, and expressed her gratitude with tears in her eyes.

Xia Meng was not very good at dealing with this kind of situation, so she could only politely decline the money and gifts according to the rules of the Black Tower.

Fortunately, Li Zhou woke up soon.

So the child's mother took the child and thanked Li Zhou sincerely.

The child was pushed to the bed by his mother. Before speaking, he rummaged through his bulging down jacket, and then a snow-white cat's head popped out from the collar of his jacket.

The child's mother obviously didn't know that her child had brought the cat with him, and she whispered, "Why did you bring Xiaobai into the hospital?!"

The child didn't know that pets were not allowed in the hospital, so he whispered, "Brother saved me and Xiaobai, so of course I want to bring Xiaobai here to thank him."

The child's mother was at a loss for words and could only pull the child back, saying, "Xiaobai might have bacteria on his body, which is unhygienic. So don't get too close to your brother. He still has wounds on his body."

Li Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay, the wound is bandaged."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the child's head, then touched the well-behaved cat in the child's arms, and said, "I receive your kindness. Saving lives is our duty. Don't feel too burdened."

The child's mother was also at the scene and witnessed the scene of her child being rescued covered in blood.

No matter how lightly Li Zhou said it, she would never treat it as a trivial matter.

After thanking him sincerely and repeatedly, he offered to go home and make some nourishing soup, but was politely declined by Li Zhou again.

The child was holding a cat nearby. He turned his head to look at Xia Meng, leaned over and said softly, "Sister, thank you today too."

Xia Meng half squatted down and blinked: "Why thank me?"

The child said seriously, "You saved me too."

As he said that, he came forward and hugged her seriously.

The kitten in the child's arms also came out of his arms and went into Xia Meng's arms without any hesitation.

The child is the same as a kitten, small and soft.

Xia Meng hugged them both, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Li Zhou was originally talking to the child's mother. Seeing this, he looked over and couldn't help laughing.

After seeing off the mother and son, Li Zhou sat up from the bed.

Xia Meng closed the door and turned around, frowning at the sight: "Why are you getting up? You want to move around right after the operation?"

Li Zhou raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck, saying, "It's okay. Once the steel bar is pulled out, the skin and flesh will heal quickly. I'll be able to get out of bed soon."

Xia Meng looked at him suspiciously.

Li Zhou blinked calmly: "It's true. If you don't believe me, I can open my clothes and show you right now. Even the scars will definitely be gone——"

He thought she didn't dare to really do it, but the next second she came over, ripped open his collar and lifted his gauze.

Obviously, the scar is still there, and the hideous centipede-like stitches on the wound are still there.

Li Zhou grimaced in pain instantly.

Xia Meng glared at him angrily: "If it's not fine, then it's not fine. Why are you showing off?"

Li Zhou said it was really fine. "Don't look at it on the surface. In fact, it has already started to heal slowly inside. Hey, don't talk about me. Do you like kittens?"

Xia Meng was stunned for a moment, "What?"

Li Zhou said, "When I saw you holding that kitten just now, your eyes were very gentle. Do you like cats?"

Xia Meng: "I didn't—"

Before he could finish his words, Li Zhou took out a palm-sized kitten from behind him.

Golden and fluffy.

The eyes are round.

Xia Meng's gaze froze immediately.

The kitten's body was light blue with a little bit of spiritual power. It was obvious that it was a spiritual body.

Li Zhou's spiritual body.

Everyone knows that Li Zhou’s spiritual form is a majestic golden lion.

Standing taller than a human.

When did you become a kitten?

Li Zhou: "I have a cat too. Do you like it? I can give it to you."
