When Song Xuanhe woke up again, he was already lying in the ward.
Before he could even take a look around this somewhat shabby ward, he saw Xiao Yuanmu sleeping beside his arm. His long eyelashes covered his dark blue lower eyelids, trembling slightly with his breathing, and he seemed to be sleeping uneasy, but his eyes were a little softer than when he opened his eyes.
The system's voice sounded: [Your physical data is not optimistic now. You were shot in the abdomen and thigh. The operation was successful because the bullets did not remain in the body. Of course, the more important thing is that the medical skills of the doctors brought by Xiao Yuanmu are ranked within 1% in the world, so they were able to perform surgery on you under such simple circumstances without causing any complications. 】
Feeling pains coming from his abdomen and thighs, Song Xuanhe asked: [When did Xiao Yuanmu come? 】
[Fifteen hours ago.] The system said: [But as far as I know, his plane must have encountered many obstacles when trying to fly directly from the United States to here, so Xiao Yuanmu's plane actually landed at the border of Country Y and then took a car to come here. Adding the time he spent preparing to come here and the entire journey, he should have not rested for more than thirty-two hours. 】
【besides. 】The system said: 【You do not have any complications now, but the medical conditions here are not suitable for your wound to heal. If you stay here, there is a 96.67% chance that your wound will become infected and inflamed. Once the wound is infected, your condition will be very dangerous. 】
How dangerous? Song Xuanhe tilted his head slightly and looked down at Xiao Yuanmu's sleeping face with a nonchalant tone, as if he didn't care about his physical condition at all.
[Very dangerous!] 】The system said: [Let me remind you once again, whether you choose to stay or return to your own world, you only have this one body. If the wound on your leg becomes inflamed and makes it difficult for you to walk in the future, you will also be disabled when you return to your own world. 】
Is Muhammad okay? Song Xuanhe was silent for a few seconds and asked: What about those people who have been protecting me? 】
The system didn't want to answer, but couldn't help but answer Song Xuanhe's question: [They are all fine. 】
But after saying this, he added unwillingly: [Your situation is the most serious. 】
【Don't worry. Song Xuanhe said: [It doesn’t hurt much. 】
[Who worries whether you are in pain or not?] ! 】The system said loudly: [...I remember you seemed to be very afraid of pain before. 】
Song Xuanhe looked at Xiao Yuanmu and responded perfunctorily: [Yeah. 】
[The anesthetic effect has long passed now, don’t you feel any pain? 】
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Song Xuanhe's eyes dimmed for a moment, and after a few seconds he curled his lips and said: [You are a system so you don’t know, in fact, small wounds are often more painful than big wounds. 】
[I am a system, so I can monitor your pain nerves, and I have comprehensive data. 】The system said: [There is no scientific research that shows that small wounds are more painful than large wounds. In fact, the larger the wound, the deeper the wound, and the more pain you feel...]
[That depends on the person.] 】Seeing Xiao Yuanmu's long eyelashes trembling slightly, Song Xuanhe hushed softly: [Xiao Yuanmu is awake. 】
Sure enough, Xiao Yuanmu opened his eyes the next second.
[Xiao Yuanmu can't hear us talking again.] 】The system complained about the last sentence, and then said nothing more.
Song Xuanhe squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you awake?"
Xiao Yuanmu sat up. In just a moment, the confusion in his eyes had disappeared. His eyes were clear, but there was a chill in his dark eyes: "Does your wound hurt?"
"No..." Song Xuanhe frowned, his face turned pale, but he still smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt that much."
Xiao Yuanmu stood up quickly, whispered "Don't move", then turned around and walked out quickly.
Soon the doctor followed Xiao Yuanmu into the ward. He lifted the quilt and checked Song Xuanhe's wounds. He said solemnly, "Mr. Song's wounds show signs of inflammation and ulceration. If possible, I suggest that he be transferred to another city for treatment immediately."
Xiao Yuanmu's already gloomy eyes became even gloomier, but the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated. He whispered a few words to the doctor, and the doctor turned and went out. Less than half a minute later, Louis followed in.
"Hi!" Louis smiled and greeted Song Xuanhe: "See you again."
Song Xuanhe nodded: "Louis."
"The X government still won't allow us to fly the plane here." Louis pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "You know, the situation here is like a ragtag army on every tree and grass. Even if it's a private plane, they won't allow it to land. I think the chances of a successful negotiation are extremely slim. Maybe it would be better for us to drive to the airport on the border of Y country like we did when we came here."
"No." Xiao Yuanmu rejected calmly, "His body does not allow him to travel on the road, and the risks are even greater on the road."
"But you should know that although Mohammed is trying his best to help us, he doesn't have much say. Your identity allows you to enter and exit here safely, but it doesn't mean that they will let you do anything that may threaten their balance. You should be very clear about the situation here."
Xiao Yuanmu lowered his eyes, thinking about something.
Louis looked at Song Xuanhe and said jokingly, "Great designer, are you really here just to find dyes? Are all you artists so crazy?"
Song Xuanhe's forehead jumped, and as expected, Xiao Yuanmu's originally relaxed expression suddenly sank. He glanced at Song Xuanhe lightly and said to Louis: "You go out first, I'll talk to him for a few words."
Louis didn't think much about it, smiled and waved at Song Xuanhe, and said, "See you later."
Song Xuanhe also stretched out his hand and clenched his fist towards Louis' back.
"Louis was right just now." Xiao Yuanmu walked to the bed and sat down, lowering his eyes and staring closely at Song Xuanhe, who looked a little pale, and asked: "What are you doing here?"
"Dyes." Song Xuanhe's expression was innocent and pale. "I have been looking up information for a long time and have always been interested in the dyes here. It happened that I met a businessman from Country X in Country R some time ago and got the news about Mr. Hashimi, so I came to take a look."
Xiao Yuanmu said in a low voice, suppressing a fierce and silent tone: "Do you know where this place is?"
"I didn't think it would be this serious." At this point, Song Xuanhe did feel a little guilty and regretful. "Mohammed was injured. Is he okay?"
"No one's injuries are more serious than yours." Xiao Yuanmu's voice was cold, and his cold expression was filled with worry: "Why don't you ask about your own situation?"
"Didn't the doctor just say that?" Song Xuanhe said, "The wound may become inflamed, but that doesn't mean it will definitely become inflamed. In fact, you don't have to worry so much. I know my own body very well, and you should know that I am very afraid of pain. If I really felt very uncomfortable, I would definitely not be as calm as I am now."
"I doubt whether you are really afraid of pain." Xiao Yuanmu said, "Sometimes I can't even tell whether you care more about others or yourself, or you don't care about anything."
After that, Xiao Yuanmu stood up and said calmly: "I'm going to discuss the route with Louis, you can take a rest first."
Song Xuanhe pursed his lips slightly, and Xiao Yuanmu turned and left without looking back.
[Xiao Yuanmu is right.] The system said: [You don't care about your own life at all. You don't care about your own body after you wake up. My data tells me that your physical data is gradually declining. Your immunity is reduced and the current environment makes the probability of your wound getting inflamed and infected almost reach more than 99%. Also, your body temperature is rising. I suggest you let Xiao Yuanmu take you away from here as soon as possible. 】
I didn't expect him to come. 】
After saying that, Song Xuanhe fell silent. Did he really not think that if something happened to him, Xiao Yuanmu might come over?
My data tells me you are lying. 】The system said: [I don’t know what you are thinking. The thoughts of you humans are really very complicated. The complexity of your thoughts is even higher than that of most people. Using data analysis alone, I can’t figure out why you do this. I have even begun to confuse whether you want to stay or leave. 】
[Wasn't it for a healthy body that you chose to stay in this world and complete missions in the first place? Now you already have it, and you only need to wait for two more months to return to your own world, but your current adventurous behavior is contrary to your original intention. This violation is by no means without reason. Through various analyses, I can only understand that these behaviors of yours are actually contrary to your original intention. 】
Song Xuanhe remained silent. The system continued: [But if you want to stay, your current behavior is still inexplicable, so I can't understand your behavior at all. 】
"Many human behaviors have no reason at all." Song Xuanhe's voice was low and light: "Because many times, humans themselves don't know what they want."
System: [Then do you know what you want? 】
Song Xuanhe closed his eyes, his pale face was as silent as the snow-white wall.
[Generally in this case, if you want to get the answer, you can ask the reverse question. 】The system said:【Do you know what you don’t want? Or what are you afraid of? 】
Song Xuanhe's eyelashes trembled, and just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps approaching outside the door. He opened his eyes.
Xiao Yuanmu appeared at the door. He stared silently at Song Xuanhe's face, which was so white that it was almost transparent. The two looked at each other, and no one spoke.
A few seconds later, Xiao Yuanmu walked closer, leaned over and gave Song Xuanhe a light and brief kiss on the lips: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Song Xuanhe blinked, and the astringency at the tip of his nose instantly broke through his eye sockets. The condensed sourness turned into tears and instantly burst out.
He knew what he didn't want, and he also knew what he was afraid of. He didn't want to go back to a world where he was alone, and he was afraid that Xiao Yuanmu would no longer be there every day in the future.
However, he was unable to break free from the shackles in his heart and could only release the guilt in his heart in a nearly destructive way.
