It seemed like a century had passed before He Jingqian finally treated Chen Yao's wound and carefully applied gauze to prevent it from being scratched.
Chen Yao then picked up the coat beside her and put it on, slowly buttoning it up, with the corners of her mouth slowly curling up. It can be seen that He Jingqian is a reserved and reserved person, but also a man who can hold himself back.
He Jingqian turned his gaze away from Chen Yao, silently cleaned up the used medical cotton balls, and tidied up the medicine box and closed it.
Chen Yao did not forget to thank He Jingqian: "Captain, thank you for today."
He Jingqian: "You're welcome, let's go and meet them now."
Chen Yao nodded and said, "Okay."
When some people on the shore of the lake saw He Jingqian and Shen Yao walking over, a hint of gossip flashed in their eyes.
I always feel...
Captain He and Shen Yao seem to have a chance.
As soon as He Jingqian and Shen Yao came over, they took the lead in saying that the giant mutant turtle had been dealt with. Under this lake, the only mutant species that could be found so far was the giant mutant turtle, and they could not observe the others for the time being.
After listening to this, Xu Jia only caught the key point of the final battle between Chen Yao and the mutant turtle at the bottom of the lake. He couldn't help but admire it and said, "Yaoyao, was it you who delivered the final blow at the bottom of the lake? You are really amazing!"
He Jingqian raised his eyebrows. He called her Yaoyao?
An inexplicable feeling of depression welled up in his heart.
But Xu Jia didn't hold back at all and continued to flatter Shen Yao: "Yaoyao, are you hurt?"
"Do you need me to take a look for you?"
"Is the wound deep or shallow? The treatment methods are generally different, Yaoyao."
Why does he have so many questions?
He Jingqian frowned slightly, and stood in front of Xu Jia, saying calmly, "You don't need to look at it. I've already taken care of it."
Xu Jia: "Really, don't you want me to take another look?"
Chen Yao: "Thank you for your kindness, but I think it's not necessary. The wound is not serious."
Xu Jia: "Okay, Yaoyao, I'll listen to you."
He Jingqian: ???
He Jingqian: ...
Xie Xuan: This kid is really cool.
…
After completing the mission, on the way back to the base by helicopter, Chen Yao began to feel more and more strange reactions in her body.
First there were waves of heat, and then they turned into waves of cold.
She felt as if she was in the tempering of water and fire. It was so unbearable that she couldn't even tell whether the sweat on her forehead was hot or cold.
The system proactively asked, "Host, are you feeling uncomfortable right now? I'll give you some painkillers."
Chen Yao responded weakly: "Okay, thank you."
System: "The energy of the crystal core is too great, causing the supernatural seeds in your body to start fighting for a piece of the pie, and no one wants to give in."
Chen Yao: "Is there any way to make them more obedient?"
System: "There's no other way. We can only endure for a while and wait for them to share the energy of the entire crystal core."
Chen Yao: "Okay."
…
After returning to the base, Chen Yao endured the physical discomfort and held a summary meeting with He Jingqian and others. Then, she dragged her tired body back to her residence.
But before she had gone far, He Jingqian caught up with her, supported her, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Because they were still outside, Chen Yao just restrained herself and said, "I feel a little unwell."
He Jingqian could probably guess that it was related to the wound left by the mutant turtle. He pursed his lips and said, "I'll go back with you. I'll stay with you tonight. If there's anything unusual, please tell me at any time."
Chen Yao: "Okay, thank you, Captain."
He Jingqian: "No need to thank me, you are my team member, this is what I should do."
Chen Yao: "Then the captain...will he treat others like this?"
He Jingqian choked, "...That's not the case."
Chen Yao smiled but said nothing.
After arriving at the residence, He Jingqian sent Chen Yao to the third floor. Before she returned to her room, he subconsciously touched her forehead with his hand.
Then after realizing what was happening, he quickly withdrew his hand and said sorry.
Chen Yao directly took his hand, put it on her forehead, and said calmly: "Touch it again, is it hot?"
He Jingqian cooperated and said, "It's quite hot. You might have to endure some suffering for the next period of time."
Chen Yao pretended not to know: "What torture?"
He Jingqian: "You have a high fever, so you should rest well. I will rest in the room next to yours today. I will stay by your side and come to check on you every hour or so."
After saying this, He Jingqian was about to leave and go next door.
But just as he turned around, Chen Yao suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes. He turned around and saw Chen Yao blinking her big watery eyes, looking at him pitifully.
"team leader……"
"Don't leave..."
"Can you just come in and stay with me?"
He Jingqian's eyes moved slightly. He felt a little overwhelmed by Chen Yao's weakness and pitiful appearance. He pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond.
"Captain...what if...this high fever makes me faint..."
"If there's no one with me, I won't even be able to get up and open the door for you when you knock."
"So, of course, it would be best if you and I were in the same room together, Captain."
He Jingqian's heart moved. It was indeed true what she said, but...
He hesitated.
Chen Yao curled her lips, "But I won't force it..."
He Jingqian: "Chen Yao, I'll accompany you."
"But wait for me to go back and take a shower first."
He is a mysophobe, and usually takes a shower after returning from a mission. Fortunately, the base currently has sufficient water supply to support his family's use.
Chen Yao's eyes turned, "Take a shower? Then go ahead, I'll wait for you in the room."
He Jingqian: "Well, let's go."
Chen Yao nodded with a smile.
After he left, Chen Yao used a [full body cleansing technique] and put on pajamas with long sleeves and long pants, but she still wore the tight-fitting tube top underneath.
The system asked her, "Host, why did you let He Jingqian come in to accompany you? Do you want to eat him tonight?"
Chen Yao: ???
"Xiao Tongzi, be careful with your words. What are you talking about eating it or not? You make me sound like a monster."
The system scratched its head: "Huh? Why can't you say eat it? Don't you often say eat it yourself? Every time I was locked in the small dark room."
Chen Yao: ...
She had a vague memory and could barely understand what scene the system was referring to.
but--
"I know you're studious, but don't be too studious. Don't try to learn everything. Do you understand?"
The system shook its head: "I don't understand."
Chen Yao: ...
