Just as Kulei came to her senses, the person beside her collapsed. Startled, she grabbed him and saw that Hua Changle was pale and unable to stand.
"What happened?" Bai Xie helped him up.
Meng Danruo had already walked over and placed her hand on her wrist, her expression calm and serious.
After a short while, she said, "It's nothing serious. She's just too weak. She's been sick several times these past few days, and she was also overwhelmed with grief recently, so she's exhausted and weak. She just needs to rest more."
Beside her, Meng Yu silently withdrew her hand.
Previously, Hua Changle had fainted by the flower sea. He was supposed to come, but it was his sister who took the initiative to treat him first.
My sister is a very soft-hearted person.
From an objective standpoint, he could not forgive Hua Changle's actions on behalf of his sister.
But as comrades-in-arms, he and his sister also fulfilled their responsibilities as doctors.
They must live up to their medical conscience.
After hearing Meng Danruo's words, Kulai breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Just then, a pair of hands reached out from the side: "I'll carry her on my back."
Kulei looked up and saw Hua Wuyan.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and she was about to retort, but Bai Xie stopped her with a look.
She immediately deflated. In any case, Hua Changle's surname was Hua, and he and Hua Wuyan were family. She was an outsider and it was inappropriate for her to meddle too much in other people's family affairs.
If she, an outsider, causes a rift between Lele and her family, then it would be her fault.
Finally, Hua Changle was carried on Hua Wuyan's back, and they left the Cold Rain Forest together.
On the return flight, Hua Changle, who was already weak, was drowsy due to motion sickness and leaned against the window.
The lush, exotic trees and groves resembled an untouchable landscape painting, imprinted in her eyes.
Her pupils, the color of mountains and forests, reflected the lush greenery in the distance.
Above the jade trees, shrouded in mist, a gentle yet aloof figure emerges under the refracted sunlight.
"My name is Mingxi."
—"Ink Moon".
She leaned against the window, gazing at the forest, tears streaming silently down her pale cheeks.
Kulei sat down next to her.
No one dared to compete with Kulei for this position, not even Hua Wuyan. Especially those who had witnessed Kulei's presence by the flower sea.
Kulei didn't look at her, but she was always in her peripheral vision.
She still looked elegant and radiant, but her fingers were white from gripping her hands so tightly.
Hua Changle had no idea how scared she was—scared of losing him.
God knows how suffocated and heartbroken she felt when she stood outside the barrier, looking at Hua Changle, who was covered in blood and kneeling on the ground crying, just one step away from it.
She almost used her bones to break through the barrier and stop her from crying.
What girl would cry like that in front of her? What kind of behavior is that?
What's more, it's Hua Changle, the girl who... piqued her interest and stirred her soul.
Hua Changle drifted off to sleep amidst soft sobs, her head being gently pulled to rest on Kulai's shoulder.
Once things settled down, the other gazes cast from Goubuli's aircraft quietly disappeared.
Inside the Crimson Flame Squadron's aircraft, Meng Danruo silently held Hua Wuyan's hand. The two did not exchange words, their hands remaining tightly clasped.
Inside the Infinite Team's aircraft, the air was so quiet that it was broken only after a long time by Lu Yaoqi's heavy sigh.
She tossed her hair in frustration: "They said they were bringing people along, but we ended up getting carried away instead!"
Tian Tiantian's ears turned red, and she felt embarrassed.
She had always looked down on Hua Changle, thinking she was arrogant and spoiled, that her good temper was just a facade, and that her poor health was a burden...
In short, there is a lot of prejudice.
But this time, the person who seemed to be the most burdensome became the most crucial and contributed the most to the entire mission.
Although Hua Changle's luck played a part—she was fortunate enough to become the trigger—it is undeniable that Hua Changle is not as bad as she thought.
Xunfeng felt the same way, but not as deeply.
He noticed that the caged bird beside him was constantly sending messages and asked in confusion, "Who are you chatting with? It hasn't stopped since we came out."
The caged bird raised its wrist, signaling him to see the content on the display screen directly:
“It’s Anning. I’m telling her about Hua Changle’s situation.”
"Oh." Xunfeng glanced at it and immediately looked away. "Indeed, we should talk about it properly."
"She's actually quite nice."
————
It was already late when they returned to the academy. The three teams needed to stay overnight at the academy. After completing their report the next morning, they would be able to enjoy a three-day holiday.
Hua Changle originally wanted to go back to the dormitory, but was immediately stopped by Kuleiyi:
"Lele~ will you sleep with your sister, okay?"
She initially felt that it wasn't a good place to be at Goubuli, but when she looked up, she suddenly saw that Raymond was also watching her, his brown eyes filled with expectation.
It was rare for this socially anxious person to look her in the eye, so she readily agreed.
Kulei immediately cheered.
After the group returned to Goubuli's headquarters,
Kulai immediately arranged for Bai Xie, Ling Ren, and Wu Ya to chat with Hua Changle, and also set out snacks, fruits, drinks, toys, and the latest movies for her.
Then, taking the most reliable and enthusiastic Li Jie and Raymond with him, they went to set up a double bed for Hua Changle and themselves.
Hua Changle sat upright on Bai Xie and Lingren's fingertips, her hands on her knees, smiling.
Well, it's still a little awkward. Although we've been on missions and trained together for a while, we're not close enough to watch dramas and chat together, are we?
Besides, these two don't seem like the kind of people who would discuss handsome men and beautiful women or complain about the plot with her!
