So be it, let it end. Thank you.
Kazmir was puzzled: Why such a big reaction to just taking off a shirt?
After a while, he looked at Ajiu, whose face was covered, reached out and pulled off the thin blanket, revealing a pair of resentful eyes looking over.
“Aren’t you hot?” Kazmir casually draped a thin blanket around her waist.
Hua Changle pursed his lips and suddenly said:
"I'm so hungry."
How could she not be hungry? From yesterday afternoon until now, more than ten hours have passed, she hasn't eaten a single bite of food or drunk a single drop of water, and she's lost so much blood.
Kazmir turned around and brought over two vials of potions: "One for healing wounds, and one for sustenance. This is all you can drink for now."
He gestured with his eyes to her stomach:
"Your wound is a secondary trauma, and even a treatment chamber can't heal it quickly. Just bear with it for now. Once you finish today's dose of medicine, you'll be able to eat tomorrow."
Hua Changle sighed, "I'm so hungry..."
Kazmir handed over a potion to stave off hunger.
Her aversion to the taste of the medicine couldn't overcome her intense hunger, and she reached out to try and sit up.
"hiss!"
With just a little force, Hua Changle couldn't help but gasp.
Kazmir stepped forward, reached out and lifted her up, letting her lean against him, before giving her the potion.
Hua Changle took it and drank from it.
The room fell silent for a moment. Kazmir's gaze gently fell on her face, but his thoughts were already wandering.
Hua Changle spoke first: "My lord."
"Um?"
"I have completed the preparation ritual. When will the 'descent' you spoke of come, sir?"
She still doesn't know when "Project Descent" will take place.
Kazmir shook his head: "Only Donggui knows the answer to that. We just need to follow the organization's instructions and act as needed."
"Operation? What operation? What will it do after it arrives?"
Kazmir sat on a chair by the bed, propping his chin up with one hand: "All I know is that it is exceptionally powerful, powerful enough to change the world."
"I don't know its purpose, but Donggui and the people in the faction think the same way: they want to use its power to expand their influence and even destroy the rule of the region."
After he finished speaking, he saw Ah Jiu looking at him with a serious expression: "Then how can the adult's wish be fulfilled?"
Kazmir was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ajiu was still thinking about what he had once said—"wanting to destroy this world".
He scoffed, "Then I'll just ask them to destroy the entire old world and kill me too."
Ajiu paused, then pursed her lips slightly. She didn't seem happy with the answer.
Kazmir chuckled: "What, does this conflict with your thoughts?"
Ajiu shook her head and said softly, "It's just... a little lonely..."
If it were the real A-Jiu who came here and followed Kazmir, and he died, A-Jiu might truly feel lonely.
Kazmir's flippant smile froze instantly, and he paused for a moment before regaining his composure.
"You're thinking too far ahead, puppy."
Kazmir rubbed a piece of ice between his fingertips, crushed it into powder, and flicked it playfully onto Ajiu's face to see her close her eyes and wrinkle her nose.
"That's still a long way off. I have to wait until you're fully recovered and able to leave me, right?"
Ah Jiu then realized, "My lord, how did I end up here? And... I've taken your spot." Her voice trailed off.
Kazmir chuckled indulgently: "A puppy is just a little kid, it's normal for it to like to take over its owner's bed."
Hua Changle: ...
It seems like I was unconscious and you just carried me here, right, bro?
“Just kidding,” Kazmir said.
“Your place is unsafe, too chaotic, and not suitable for recuperating. Stay with me for the next few days until you are almost fully recovered before you leave.”
Hua Changle thought to himself that this was troublesome.
Living with this guy who's full of filth is more dangerous than living with Nanqi who has six ears!
However, the plan to conquer the island should be implemented soon, and she won't be staying here for long.
He might think it in his heart, but he dared not show it on his face.
"Then, sir, where shall I live?"
Kazmir glanced at her blood-stained pants: "You've dirtied my bed, so you can continue sleeping on it. I'll go sleep in the next room."
Ajiu hesitated and said, "This is your room, isn't it inappropriate?"
Kazmir nodded solemnly:
"That doesn't seem quite right. How about I put a chain on it and hang it on the door?"
Hua Changle: (—_—|||)……
Kid! You'd better sleep with your eyes open tonight!
Kazmir looked at the boy's drooping face and slightly puffed cheeks and chuckled.
"Don't be afraid, it's not your turn to guard the gate, you're just a puppy that hasn't been weaned yet. I'm more afraid you'll get kidnapped again."
That's how it was decided that she would stay there temporarily.
Hua Changle had been sitting for a long time, and the pain in her abdomen was becoming severe. Kazmir then made her lie down again.
"By the way," Kazmir suddenly asked after withdrawing his hand.
"Were you injured within about a year before you came to the island?"
Hua Changle's mind was filled with alarm bells, but he didn't panic.
"Yes. About a year ago, I fell from the building."
Kazmir recalled the contents of Ajiu's biographical information.
There is indeed such a record.
Ajiu said:
“I used to live in a small town on the border of District 7 and District 8. It was a very chaotic place. There was a group of people in my area who were notorious bullies.”
“I made enemies with them because I did some odd jobs for them. They would harass me every few days, demanding money, beating me, doing all sorts of things. They have a powerful force in the Seventh District behind them, and I can’t deal with them.”
