"The drug's effects only last for 24 hours, and that's already over..."
After changing her clothes, Jiang Wan, wearing a loose-fitting black hooded long-sleeved shirt, strolled leisurely out of the park's public restroom.
She had just applied medication in the women's restroom, but as for why it was in this particular location...
Women's restrooms are considered extremely unlucky places, often associated with bloodshed and misfortune.
For some special reasons, even if the ladies smelled blood here, none of them would react too strongly; at most, they would only cast pitying glances.
What a poor child.
"Ouch, it's starting to hurt."
Jiang Wan tied the plastic bag containing the blood-stained paper balls and threw it into the trash can. She found a bench, sat down slowly, and took out her phone, which was turned off, and turned it on.
Buzzing...
Jiang Wan nodded as she looked at the unread messages that appeared like snowflakes, and then glanced at the senders.
"Captain, Captain, Little Fish, Captain... Hmm, it seems like everything's alright."
Nodding, humming a song, he directly selected "all" and "deleted all"—the whole process was smooth and seamless.
good.
Looking at the empty inbox, Jiang Wan decided to pretend that nothing had happened.
She knew very well that with the Watchers' abilities, if they really wanted to find her, there was no way she could escape.
If you haven't looked for it yet, then there's nothing serious going on.
However, happy times eventually come to an end, and the children who sneak out will eventually have to go home.
After sharing her location information, Jiang Wan put down her phone and looked gently at the tourists coming and going.
Jiang Wan has returned to Jiuhai City from Bincheng, but before fully rejoining the team, she still chose to sit in this park for a while.
Elderly people and children, young lovers, middle-aged couples holding hands...
A peaceful and warm scene.
They enjoyed the spring sunshine, admired the blooming flowers in the park, and savored the beauty of life.
These tourists are ordinary people who are unaware of the realities of the world and live under the protection of others.
And the reason they can enjoy all of this so leisurely ultimately boils down to one word—
"How peaceful..."
But peace is not so easy to achieve.
On the other side of the world, the world of the awakened is filled with blood and fire, and peace has never truly arrived.
Watching them quietly, Jiang Wan felt her soul being purified, and even the pain from her wounds began to lessen.
The warmth and comfort of everyday life are what truly soothe the human heart.
Some say that the more you know, the less happy you are, and those who are awakened are the most unhappy of them all.
Jiang Wan didn't quite agree. She felt that no matter how much one knew, happiness wouldn't be affected.
Her happiness was almost gone, except for her good brothers and...
"Angel, the captain is very angry about this incident."
A familiar voice rang in her ears, and Jiang Wan smiled, tilting her head back.
Hello, little fish.
With a smile, Jiang Wan slowly relaxed her tense muscles, not caring that blood was seeping from her wound.
Because she knew she would be alright.
"I'm fine, but you're probably in trouble. The captain is very angry."
Where is she?
"I'm angry outside the park and don't want to come in to see you."
"Oh, what's there to be angry about? I just left the team without permission, it's not like I shot my teammates in the back."
The girl, with short hair that barely reached her ears and a pretty face but an overall androgynous look, sighed and went over to pull Jiang Wan up from the stool.
"No, leaving the team without permission isn't the problem. What the captain is angry about is that you left without receiving treatment, and this isn't the first time you've fired a shot in the dark."
"Hahaha, is she my mom? Sure enough, middle-aged women are the most difficult to mess with."
"I will tell the captain the truth about this."
"Okay, okay~ Anyway, you're just saying it, you won't actually go and tell on me."
"snort."
However, compared to his somewhat masculine appearance, Chu Yu's voice was soft and gentle, sounding very weak and lacking any imposing presence.
Like an embrace, Chu Yu pulled Jiang Wan closer to her, her slightly taller height allowing Jiang Wan's chin to rest perfectly on her shoulder.
Chu Yu wrapped his arms around Jiang Wan's waist, his hand tracing across her abdomen. Jiang Wan frowned slightly, then his hand slipped discreetly under the hem of her clothes, touching the gauze.
"...Sister Wan, you really scared me."
She spoke in a soft, sweet voice, claiming to be scared, but her hands moved with surprising speed and decisiveness, pulling him away without any mercy!
Sizzle.
"Uh! Hiss... Little Fish, are you getting revenge on purpose?"
Unable to control herself, Jiang Wan let out a soft gasp. The expression she had been maintaining crumbled on the spot, and she bit her lip to keep from screaming out loud.
Sister, why did you do this to me?
Am I not your little angel?
Chu Yu placed the gauze, covered in dark red scabs of blood, into his pocket. A look of speechlessness and exhaustion flashed across his face as he whispered:
"They're already stuck together. If we don't peel them off, it'll be even more troublesome later."
"Why didn't you treat yourself? Even if you were in a hurry, you could have done some first aid on the way..."
Chu Yu couldn't understand how big a heart it took to forget about treatment.
"I was in a rush on the way and forgot! Oh, it's okay, you won't die, I'm here for you!"
Tilting his head, Chu Yu sighed and stopped trying to argue with her.
He continued to hold her in his arms, and a milky white light shone on her palm, hovering above the wound and waving gently.
