Little Cold Star (15)
Number Nine wasn't one to take a loss. He confidently stored the entire box of Level 8 Insect Crystals sent by Gongye Jiwang into his interspatial bracelet, then raised his chin and said, "You're smart!"
Shi Jianxia: "..."
She absolutely couldn't believe that one of Number Four's healing potions was worth so many Level 8 insect crystals. Saddened by her own poverty, she angrily said, "You're taking advantage of me! Behave yourself and don't cause any trouble!"
The Zerg Investigation Office specially made handcuffs, and even the most powerful people had to take a detour when they saw them. She was not afraid at all that No. 9 might suddenly attack her.
Number Nine couldn't stand her partiality, so he rolled his eyes and lay down, trying to pretend that he didn't see anything, which was a disguised way of being honest.
Shi Jianxia looked at his back, which was full of words like 'I'm unhappy, come here and comfort me', and turned her head decisively. She felt strange again. Why didn't Gongye Jiwang and No. 9 ask her why she put special handcuffs on them?
However, she soon had no time to pay attention to this little problem.
Gongye Jiwang had a fever.
His originally pale face was slightly flushed, his lips were dry and parched, his eyes were half closed, and he looked even weaker.
Shi Jianxia noticed that something was wrong with his condition, and immediately raised her hand to touch his forehead. The temperature was frighteningly high, and her cheeks were also extremely hot.
People with mimicry abilities are physically strong and rarely suffer from minor illnesses like colds and fevers. Gongye Jiwang obviously developed a fever because he was too weak due to his injury, which greatly reduced his resistance, and he was in such extremely cold weather.
Shi Jianxia quickly activated the medical robot's care program, took out pure water from the space bracelet, heated it, and slowly fed it to Gongye Jiwang.
His consciousness was in a half-asleep state, and he swallowed very slowly. It took him a while to finish a whole glass of water.
There is medical alcohol in the medical robot's built-in medicine box. Shi Jianxia only knows some simple wound treatments, so he didn't go over to mess around. He left the task of reducing the fever to the medical robot and stepped aside.
She stared at the quietly burning fire for a while, gulped down a whole cup of hot water, then took the cup of warm water and walked to No. 9's sleeping bag. Seeing that he was still only showing her the back of his head, she kicked his calf wordlessly and said, "Get up and drink some water."
They have not eaten or drunk anything since the end of the battle.
Number Nine turned his head and pulled down a corner of his sleeping bag, revealing only his beautiful pair of dark blue eyes. It was these eyes that were particularly beautiful. When one looked into his eyes, one would subconsciously want to reach out and touch them.
Shi Jianxia was caught off guard by such a cute scene, and her hand almost trembled and splashed the water on No. 9's face. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and held the cup tightly in time.
She said with a fierce face: "Why are you pretending to be cute? Get up!"
Number Nine first glanced at Gongye Jiwang, whose forehead had been plastered with a fever-reducing patch by a medical robot, then slowly sat up, muttering under his breath, "You're so pretentious? You were the one who called me cute first."
Shi Jianxia: "..."
Is this guy out of his mind? Doesn't he understand what perfunctory means?
She stuffed the water cup into Number Nine's hand and said angrily, "Pay attention to yourself. If you get sick with a fever, I'll throw you out to feed the bugs."
Number Nine pretended not to hear.
If you wanted to lose it, you would have lost it long ago. Why wait until now?
Shi Jianxia looked at him with an unfazed look and wondered if she was too easy to talk to, so that this guy didn't take her threats seriously at all.
She put aside her messy thoughts and turned the topic to business. "Did you come to Xiaohan Star by space shuttle or interstellar spaceship?"
Only the strong ones in the Holy Realm can ignore the pressure of the atmosphere on the human body and travel through space with their flesh bodies. No. 9 must use tools to enter Xiaohan Star.
Without even looking up, Number Nine replied, "Space shuttle."
After saying that, he quickly added, "A small space shuttle that can accommodate two people at most."
The hidden thoughts behind his words were obvious to everyone. Shi Jianxia just laughed and was too lazy to expose the truth.
The brief conversation ended there, and no one mentioned the issue of betrayal, as if the previous confrontation had never happened. This also made Shi Jianxia a little confused about No. 9's thoughts.
He was unwilling to be controlled by the doctor, but after the almost showdown between the two, he did not give any response.
If he was still loyal to the Doctor, there was no way he could live in peace with her.
After finishing his water, Number Nine saw her squatting next to Gongye Jiwang's sleeping bag to check on him. He immediately curled his lips, lay down heavily with a thud, and scolded, "Hei Xiaoqi, what kind of water did you give me to drink? Why do I feel dizzy after drinking it?"
Shi Jianxia looked over suspiciously, only to see Number Nine pressing his forehead with the back of his hand, breathing heavily and deep, as if he also had a bad cold.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
She stood up and walked to Number Nine, ready to see if he also had a fever. She wanted to lift his hand but he refused and kept humming. After humming, he turned his head and crawled into the sleeping bag.
When he saw Xia Wuyu was dead, he said, "Bai Xiaojiu, you are three and a half years old this year, right?"
She was answered with a snort.
Shi Jianxia was certain that he was just whining without any reason.
She ignored him.
-
By night, Gongye Jiwang's fever had subsided, but he began to sweat all over, alternating between hot and cold. His sleeping bag was almost soaked with his sweat.
Shi Jianxia knew that the environment here was too bad. Although the sleeping bag played a certain role in keeping warm, the severe cold still penetrated every corner, especially the cold wind that occasionally came in through the cracks in the shabby windows and doors, which always made people shiver.
She sensed the situation of the spiritual power spring and confirmed that her spiritual power had recovered, so she summoned Bifang.
The warm Bifang fire replaced the original campfire. Shi Jianxia thought for a moment and took out the tent from Gongye Jiwang's space bracelet.
Just as he was about to set up, Number Nine's sarcastic voice came over, "You're quite skilled at flipping through his space bracelet."
I don't know when he crawled out of the sleeping bag, with a cool expression mixed with a bit of disgust.
Shi Jianxia glanced at his space bracelet and pushed back, neither softly nor hard, "I'm quite skilled at flipping through your space bracelet. Do you want to give it to me and let me flip through it again?"
Number Nine was choked by her words, recalling the time when he was injured on Nan Tengxing and went to find Shi Jianxia, but she took away his space bracelet and also stole a lot of insect crystals from him.
He pulled his sleeves, and seeing Xia's covetous eyes, he snatched the storage box containing the tent from her hand and threw two words at her: "Dream on!"
The boy's long hair draped over his shoulders slid down slightly as he opened the storage box. The lines from his jaw to the side of his face were completely taut, as if he would open his mouth and bite someone at any time.
Shi Jianxia clicked his tongue, "Why are you stealing my things?"
Number Nine didn't say anything, probably because he didn't want to pay attention to her.
Shi Jianxia walked over, pinched a corner of the tent, and helped shake it open.
Number Nine skillfully found the inflation port and activated the automatic inflation function. The tent then stood up shakily, blocking the wind that was leaking in from all directions.
Amidst the whirring sound of inflation, Number Nine suddenly said, "When are you planning on leaving here?"
If you want to leave, you can leave now. It’s not impossible to cram one more person into the space shuttle.
Shi Jianxia did not answer immediately, but took out a box of small cookies from the space bracelet and tore open the package.
Without waiting for her to share generously, Number Nine reached out and took two pieces in a very familiar manner, eating them with a crisp sound.
"You really don't know how to spell the word polite." Shi Jianxia sneered at him, not giving him a chance to refute, and continued, "I have to bring three more people with me."
Number Nine raised an eyebrow and glared, "When did you switch careers to charity? Not only are you reluctant to kill this one, but you're also taking three burdens with you?"
Shi Jianxia looked back confidently, "When did I switch to charity? Don't you know best?"
Dreams are the presentation of memories, and No. 9 is the No. 9 experimental subject who was once to be destroyed by the red spider lily.
Her memory was fragmented, and she didn't know what was wrong with her at the time. Even though she was in danger, she still made a deal with the ruthless doctor to save this argumentative person.
After waking up from the dream, she thought about it over and over again, but she couldn't remember what she had bargained with the doctor for in order to save Number Nine.
Hearing her question, Number Nine stopped pricking people like a cactus and even ate his cookies more quietly. He muttered, as if he was lacking confidence, "I don't know shit!"
"Speak human language." Shi Jianxia's tone was subdued, like a parent scolding a child for swearing.
Number Nine was annoyed, "You are a pig."
Shi Jianxia: "..."
She said expressionlessly: "You are a fool."
Number Nine refused to give in, "You're a stupid pig."
Shi Jianxiaqi laughed. What kind of stupid elementary school conversation was this?
But she never admits defeat, "You're a stinky pig!"
What a joke! Number Nine didn't even know how to write the word "lose" and immediately retorted: "You are—"
Before he could finish his words, a soft laugh came from behind them.
Gongye Jiwang didn't know when he woke up. He was smiling with his fist against his lips, and his cheeks were slightly flushed after the high fever.
Receiving the gazes of two pairs of eyes at the same time, he pretended to cough and said, "Um... I'm a little thirsty."
Number Nine clenched his fist, ready to kill and silence the witness, but his mimicry was restricted by special handcuffs. The shadow of the silver whip was vaguely visible in his palm and could not be condensed into substance.
When she looked at Shi Jianxia again, she also cleared her cough twice, pretended nothing had happened, poured a glass of water and walked towards Gongye Jiwang.
Number Nine didn't like Gongye Jiwang's hypocritical face, so he picked up the Bifang who was squatting on the ground and warming himself by the fire, and was eager to pluck the colorful feathers from its body.
Bifang seemed to sense something and immediately its fur stood on end. It flapped its wings and flew out of his palm, quickly rushing to Shi Jianxia's shoulder and rubbing her earlobe with its soft beak, as if complaining.
Shi Jianxia glared at him as expected, "If you have nothing to do, go to sleep and don't bother with my mimicry."
Number Nine weighs 130 pounds, 129 of which are rebellious. "I'm going to toss it around."
Shi Jianxia's forehead was throbbing.
Number Nine's eyes rolled, and he came over and snatched the water cup from her hand. He put on a fake smile and pushed her aside, "You go and rest. I'll take care of him."
Gongye Jiwang immediately sat up and took the cup while No. 9 wasn't paying attention. He drank it all in one gulp and handed it back, smiling as before, "Thank you for the water, Xiaojiu."
Number Nine: “…”
Damn it! Are you still coming?!
He pulled the corners of his mouth with a forced smile, "You're welcome, Lao Wang."
Gongye Jiwang: "..."
Phew!
This time it was Shi Jianxia who laughed.
The two people who heard the laughter looked at her at the same time. Shi Jianxia tried hard to close her mouth, but her cheeks were puffed up and she couldn't shrink them no matter how hard she tried.
Finally, she couldn't help herself and turned around and laughed so hard that it shook the earth.
Number Nine: “…”
Gongye Jiwang: "..."
The two looked at each other, and then quickly looked away as if they had seen something dirty.
