Chang Le refused Fu Guang's overly intimate hug and, led by him, walked to the room he had arranged for her and sat on the bed.
Fu Guang took the medicine to treat her wounds. He rolled up his sleeve, revealing several hideous wounds on his arm, and he was stunned.
Where did it come from?
Of course it was an old injury; Chang Le didn't want to answer this pointless question.
Fu Guang repeated it again, emphasizing his words.
Chang Le didn't understand his stubbornness. She had many wounds on her body, so why was he so fixated on them?
"Cut."
Fu Guang slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with shock and anger: "You cut yourself, didn't you?"
His fingers touched the scar, tracing its path.
"……Um."
Fu Guang felt a burning sensation in his heart and lungs, his shock, anger, and grief churning within him. His lips turned pale: "...Is it to bring myself back to my senses?"
He didn't think Chang Le wanted to harm himself.
But Chang Le shook his head: "No, it's... thirst."
Fu Guang was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening, his eyes wide with fury.
Thirsty? Thirsty!
So, so thirsty that... he cut his wrists and drank his own blood?!
Perhaps because his expression was too ferocious, Chang Le said something unusual: "I'm not stupid. I was injured and my mind was not clear. I was hallucinating and I cut myself."
At that time, she had just arrived in District 9.

Fu Guang's hands were trembling uncontrollably when he suddenly stood up and walked out.
"Fu Guang?" Chang Feng, who was waiting outside, was startled to see his pale face and disoriented appearance.
"Go and treat her injuries," Fu Guang said, barely managing to keep his voice steady.
After Changfeng went in and closed the door, he leaned against the wall and covered his face. A moment later, his shoulders twitched, and a wet patch slipped through his fingers.
When Mu Liangchao arrived, he happened to see Changfeng going in and supporting Guang like this. He stopped and suddenly truly felt the weight that little girl held in his heart.
Afterwards, Luo Xuan rushed back and told Chang Le about his experiences.
Upon hearing about the wandering animals and the Hua family's adoption and abandonment, Fu Guang's face darkened considerably, and he remained somber for several days.
During those days, everything went wrong for the Hua family, and the resettlement of displaced people in various districts suddenly received more attention.
When Mu Liangchao heard that Luo Xuan had investigated the girl's background, he went to inquire and learned about her complicated experiences. He felt uneasy.
Two days later, after Chang Le settled down with Fu Guang, Mu Liangchao came to visit.
