Chapter 67 I Stay
"Don't think I won't kill you." Zong Fang spoke coldly, completely different from when he spoke to Qiao Susu just now.
Karl smiled indifferently and wanted to say something sarcastic in return, but when he saw Qiao Susu standing beside him with a nervous look on her face, he didn't want her to be scared, so he swallowed his words.
With Karl as the third wheel, Qiao Sui Sui and Zong Fang couldn't continue their conversation. Zong Fang just said that he would seriously consider it and told her not to worry too much and to rest well.
In the following time, Carl was transported to a desolate wilderness by Zongfang's thought. He looked up to the sky and cursed "Fuck", then began to grunt and dodge the annoying bloodthirsty crows, and had no time to heal his injuries.
Qiao Susu was still taken care of by Zong Fang at all times, but the man became much more restrained after he knew she was pregnant. He just hugged her to sleep at night and did nothing else.
An unknown amount of time passed in the space like this. Zong Fang went to count the supplies to see how long they could last. Qiao Susu took advantage of his absence, closed her eyes, held her breath, and concentrated. The next second, she appeared in front of Carl out of thin air.
I saw the man resting with his eyes closed against a big rock. Although he had no new injuries on his body, his overall condition did not look good.
"Karl."
Qiao Sui Sui walked over and squatted beside him. She called out a few times but couldn't wake him up, so she took out her medical kit. After bandaging a few exposed wounds, she concluded that there must be more wounds under his clothes that were not visible. Those were the key.
Carl wore only a tight black T-shirt, his military jacket tucked beneath him. Qiao Suisui gently lifted the corner of the T-shirt, revealing the man's abdominal muscles, accentuated by the interplay of light and shadow. Carl's skin was pale, and his body resembled a marble sculpture, each abdominal muscle tight and powerful.
Qiao Susu lowered her gaze and saw three bloodstains running between his lower abdomen and groin. The wounds were very deep and were still bleeding in small amounts.
"Have you seen enough?"
She was startled by the man's sudden voice, and looked up, seeing that Karl had opened his eyes at some point, and was looking at her with a half-smile.
He curled his lips and said, "Do you want to touch it?"
Qiao Susu had become immune to his improper behavior. She ignored the gaze that was following her closely, and quickly and skillfully took out the tools from the medical box to bandage him, concentrating on her work.
Seeing that she ignored him, Karl didn't get angry. He just leaned against the stone behind him and watched her quick but methodical movements quietly. He found that her profile was even more beautiful than her front face. Her facial features were as delicate as a porcelain doll, and when she lowered her head, her eyelashes looked like a feather fan.
Karl particularly liked her stern expression. For some reason, he felt that this was the real Qiao Sui Sui. No fawning weakness, no flattering smile, only "I want" and "I get." Perhaps this was why he couldn't help but want to tease her.
The first time he saw her was on the second floor of the small building, when she was taken out from under Munakata by Ruka.
He should have scoffed at it, after all, he hated the weak so much.
But he caught sight of this helpless little female, and she didn't even glance at Zongfang, even though the man was injured while protecting her.
She huddled in Luka's arms, looking extremely pitiful, but there wasn't a trace of fear in her eyes. She was observing her surroundings calmly, and only showed uneasiness at specific times, when Luka cared about her.
ruthless.
This was Karl’s first impression of Qiao Suisui.
Afterwards, he returned to the Federation to report, and for some reason, her image kept popping up in his mind. She could have been so open about her thoughts, so opinionated, yet she had to pretend to be so understanding. He began to feel curious about her.
He used his authority to retrieve Qiao Suisui's file from the Investigation Bureau and was surprised to find that her information was encrypted. Although females were rare and precious, the Federation wouldn't bother with such trivial matters, which meant her identity must be extraordinary.
Carl himself didn't know what was driving him, but he spent countless hours searching for her on Starnet, leaving no trace of her. His work habits quickly led him to a few conclusions: Qiao Sui Sui must have met Luka and Liberi first, with Zong Fang arriving later. However, none of them were her spouse or guardian.
With this discovery, Carl felt strangely relieved. Without dwelling on it, he continued searching for any traces of her, this time targeting people related to her. He first clicked on Luka's account and found that the man was just as boring as he'd imagined, posting nothing. Just as he was about to log out, he saw that there was only one person in Luka's follow list.
Carl clicked on the account and raised his eyebrows when he saw the popularity of the homepage.
So many males are paying attention, could it be that...
At this moment, a message popped up on the computer, and there was new activity on Luka's account.
Carl clicked on it and saw the photos of each room, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
If you say he was deliberate, he didn't have any other purpose. But if you say he was honest, he still approached her on purpose.
"Okay, don't get wet recently, otherwise it will get inflamed."
Hearing her voice, Karl came back to his senses from his memory and saw a blood mark on her face. It should be because she accidentally rubbed it with the back of her hand when she was bandaging herself just now. Karl's fingertips moved, but she stood up the next second.
"I have to go back. It will be bad if Zongfang finds out I'm not here. You'd better go back as soon as possible. Just because he doesn't kill you now doesn't mean he won't kill you in the future." Qiao Suisui put away the medical kit, turned around and looked at him, and said seriously: "Tell Luka and Ash that I'm fine. Zongfang didn't trap me. It's me who wants to stay here temporarily."
Carl frowned and asked why.
"You really like that snake?"
Qiao Susu didn't answer and told him again to get out as soon as possible.
"I'm going out, and this space will collapse. Then you and that snake will both die here." Carl wanted to say something about that slutty snake, but when he looked at her clear eyes, he suddenly couldn't speak as carefreely as before.
Qiao Suisui didn't know this and was a little dissatisfied. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Is it too late now?" Karl stood up lazily, because the wounds on his body hurt so much every time he moved. Now was the perfect time to leave. He could use up his last bit of energy to get her out, but he wouldn't tell Qiao Suisui about this. He just raised his eyebrows and smiled, his tone teasing and relaxed: "If you come out with me now, that snake will definitely die. No one will bother you anymore. How great is that."
Qiao Suisui's breathing was a little unstable. She lowered her eyes, then looked up resolutely after a few seconds and said to Karl, "You go, I'll stay."
