The jet-black stone was locked in a glass jar on the table. The special glass was covered in cracks, as if it might shatter at any moment. The tabletop was also covered with dense scratches, as if made by a knife, and the scratches were still increasing.
It must have been the thing that scratched itself.
The problem now isn't how he got injured, it's that he's injured but he's completely unaware of it! And there's someone else right next to him!
How do you explain this?
Seeing that she had lowered her eyes and clearly didn't want to talk, Ning Jue couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. "Think it over carefully, and tell me when you've finished writing it."
Lian Han: ...How should I respond to that?
She's lost the sense of pain for a long time, but she doesn't fight or cause trouble, so it doesn't affect her daily life much. If there's any difference, it's that she feels no pain at all during her daily sparring sessions online.
But now—Lian Han's gaze fell on Ning Jue's arm. This was Ning Jue's arm; if this had happened on a battlefield or some other dangerous place, the consequences would have been unimaginable. He should always pay more attention to his own condition.
[Girl, how are you going to explain this? He's not stupid.]
She didn't speak, and Ning Jue didn't say anything either. He went to find the first-aid kit to bandage her up; he had plenty of patience.
Lian Han watched him bandage her up quietly. Xing Yucheng truly trusted Bei Ting, but what about her? She and Bei Ting both knew Xing Yucheng; it was a secret between them. So she would tell Bei Ting about related matters and her current situation.
But her difficulties and troubles lay in the fact that while Lian Han regarded Bei Ting as an elder, he wasn't someone she could completely trust. She was used to being independent and preferred to solve her own problems.
Ning Jue finished bandaging the wound skillfully, picked up a book, sat on the edge of the bed, and prepared to chat with Lian Han.
The two remained locked in a stalemate until Lian Han's AI device lit up. It was a message from Shen Sihan noticing that she hadn't returned for a long time.
"Xiao Han, Chen Rui is waiting for you on the SkyNet. Aren't you training today?"
Lian Han breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll be right there..."
“Madam Shen, I still have some matters to discuss with Xiao Han.” Ning Jue’s gaze returned to her.
Lian Han frowned, but seeing the other person's calm and unwavering gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little insecure. He was also concerned about her.
Chen Sihan paused for a moment, then asked, "Really, Xiaohan?"
Lian Han sighed softly, "Aunt Chen, I'll go to rest later."
Okay. Come back soon.
After the communication ended, Lian Han looked at Ning Jue and said, "As you can see, I can't feel any pain right now."
"I want to hear more than just this." Ning Jue closed the book.
"Ask away. I'll tell you what I can, and if I insist on telling you something I can't, it'll be a lie."
To hear them talk about lying so casually, Ning Jue shook her head helplessly, "When did this start?"
Around the New Year.
New Year? Ning Jue asked in surprise, "Was it when you met Cangming?"
"yes."
"He took it away?"
"No." Lian Han said this with a sense of composure.
"Then why did you lose the ability to feel pain?"
"If one day I can entrust my life to you, perhaps I will tell you."
It seemed this touched on her secret. Ning Jue then asked, "Can the sense of pain be restored?"
Lian Han shook his head. "I don't know."
She acted impulsively, trading the removal of the bloodworm mark for the loss of pain. But she didn't regret it—the grafting card might be able to clear the bloodworm power from her body when she was seven, but the bloodworms that had lurked within her for seven or eight years were something even Lian Han wasn't entirely confident about. That mark was her nightmare.
"have no idea?"
"I really don't know."
Although the card system is called the main class card, there is a hidden equivalent exchange rule, such as her exchanging the loss of pain for the erasure of the mark.
When Lian Han later asked the system about pain, it didn't give a clear answer and didn't know what it wanted to do.
Ning Jue frowned and said, "Then you should be more careful in the future."
"I will," Lian Han said calmly. She would absolutely not allow a similar situation to happen a second time.
"Uncle Ning, I'll head back now," Lian Han said finally.
Knowing that Shen Sihan was urging her, Ning Jue handed her a box, "This is what I said I would give you before, take a look. Also, you can study that mysterious black stone when you have the chance."
Lian Han stood up and was about to leave the room when Ning Jue suddenly asked, "Are there any species in the world that live by absorbing energy minerals?"
Lian Han once told the "Miss" that he could only see her again after finding the energy mine.
Lian Han paused, a look of surprise on her face, but because her back was to Ning Jue, the other party didn't notice. Lian Han replied, "Never heard of it. But the interstellar space is vast; perhaps you're referring to some alien race."
"That's a real pity," Ning Jue said with regret.
Lian Han remained silent and left even faster. She actually spent a month in a room with a man?!
Moreover, considering that she had misunderstood and the other party hadn't even corrected her, Lian Han's face turned terribly dark. Was this person watching her make a fool of herself, or was it just watching her make a fool of herself?
Xing Yucheng hadn't expected the kid to ask such a question, which confirmed Lian Han's suspicions, and he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
With him around, Xiao Han, underage, wants to date? No way. This kid thinks he can pursue Lian Han? Dream on! Didn't you see that three years later, she'll be graduating, and he still hasn't won her over! He only dared to reveal his age now—okay, the last sentence is the key point.
Lian Han found the room number that Shen Sihan had sent her, went in first to change her clothes, and then went to see Shen Sihan. It was best not to let her know that she had been cut; it would be making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Has the general given you any difficulties?"
Shen Sihan lived next door and immediately spoke when she arrived.
"No."
"It's good that you're alright. But is there anything you and he have to talk about?"
"Didn't Uncle Ning save me back in the North? It's natural he'd ask about my situation and my leave of absence."
Shen Sihan's expression softened, and she patted Lian Han's head. "Being able to receive his care and love is the best thing, regardless of whether you have any intention of joining the army."
"Yes, I know," Lian Han replied, but in her heart she thought that she probably wouldn't be able to look Ning Jue in the eye again in the future.
Although the other party took excellent care of her, the hurdle of sharing a bed—let's talk about that when she's more thick-skinned.
Lian Han suddenly asked, "Is Senior Jiang waiting for me on Tianwang?"
"Lieutenant Yu said you were with the general, so I just wanted to find an excuse to ask about the situation. I can't let you get bullied right under my nose," Shen Sihan said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Shen."
"But speaking of which, don't you and Jiang Chenrui get along?"
"You noticed?" Lian Han was surprised. She and Jiang Chenrui had no conflicts in their daily interactions, nor were they close.
"I knew it the first time we met. But since he seemed to genuinely care for you, I didn't say anything."
"sincere?"
"You don't believe me? I consider myself pretty good at judging people."
Lian Han's voice was icy cold, "Nine years ago, I trusted him too. But because of that trust, I was toyed with for nine years, and now—"
"I dare not believe anymore."
