"Sorry, I can't stay here." Doniel said, "The wound itches so badly."

"That's because it's growing flesh."

"I know, but I can't help wanting to do something else to divert my attention."

Lying back on the bed, Qi Yan glanced at the direction of the cab with a complicated look. Doniel noticed his gaze and gently held his hand hanging by his side.

"I notified Bick and the others."

Qi Yan was silent. He knew that Doniel went to the cab and must have confidently told the people of Chickeris about his location.

Qi Yan didn't have any resentment towards Doniel's behavior, but he found himself in an awkward situation. The Samod people came here and found that Doniel was seriously injured, but he was safe and sound. They would definitely make a big fuss about this matter...

Bick and Xiya, these two people hated Qi Yan to the extreme. Qi Yan was a little worried that Doniel would be in a dilemma while recuperating from his injuries, which would be really embarrassing...

Thinking of this, Qi Yan said: "When they come, you go back with them."

Doniel tightened his hand holding Qi Yan's, and asked again as if he didn't hear him: "What did you say?"

"I said, when they come to pick you up, you go back with them." Qi Yan sat on a chair beside him without withdrawing his hand: "I also need to ask you to leave the spaceship to me so that I can use it to escape."

The teasing tone did not ease the stiff atmosphere. Doniel stared at Qi Yan with burning eyes, making him lower his head speechlessly.

"Why don't you come back with me..." After a long time, Doniel's tone revealed great disappointment: "You are now a wanted criminal of the government. They can't let you go. Where can you go alone?"

"That's why I can't go to Chiklis." Qi Yan raised his head, looked at Doniel, and smiled: "I can't bring this unprovoked disaster to those innocent people and innocent Chiklis."

Doniel also fell silent. Because he was carrying the heavy burden of the Samod people.

"No matter what, I think you should be with us." After thinking for a long time, Doniel still insisted.

"Doniel, sharing weal and woe is not based on the pain of others." Qi Yan suddenly reached out and gently stroked Doniel's cheek: "Just like I thought I would never meet--"

you in my life.

Doniel waited for Qi Yan's final words, but found that he was staring at him. After a long time, he stood up, and without saying a word, he went into the driver's cab.

"Qi Yan?"

"I want to be quiet for a while." Qi Yan's voice came from inside, and it was hard to tell the emotion in it: "Eat something by yourself."

Although it was not very kind to send Doniel away like this, Qi Yan, who was sitting in the driver's cab, breathed a sigh of relief as if he had escaped.

In the days that followed, the way Qi Yan and Doniel interacted with each other obviously changed subtly. The two were no longer polite, but like friends, getting along very harmoniously. Doniel's injuries healed quickly. Three days before the Samod people came, only the scars that had not completely disappeared were left on his body.

Something was about to come out between the two of them, but Qi Yan didn't point it out, and Doniel didn't notice it either.

In the airship that came to greet Doniel, there were indeed Bick and Xia. The moment Xia saw Doniel, tears flew down her face, and she rushed over and hugged Doniel.

Doniel laughed and patted her on the back, but he didn't know why he felt a little resistant, so he pushed her away and gave a hug to Bick who was walking quickly, so it wouldn't be so obvious.

After the excited greetings, everyone naturally saw Qi Yan behind Doniel.

Xiya frowned, and it was obvious that she was still very disgusted with Qi Yan's presence: "Doniel, why is he still here? He must have been behind the injury this time!"

"Xia," Doniel shouted, "This matter has nothing to do with Qi Yan. Rather, if it weren't for him, I might not be in this world now."

Xiya hurriedly said when she heard it, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, don't say such unlucky words!"

Bick glanced at Qi Yan with an unclear expression, and surprisingly did not say anything insulting Qi Yan.

"Doniel, let's go back." Bick stepped forward and said, "Everyone is very worried about you. Now that you are back intact, everyone will be happy."

The smile on Doniel's lips froze for a moment, and he reflexively glanced at Qi Yan and found that he was hanging his head, as if he couldn't hear anything.

The light in his eyes dimmed, and Doniel felt extremely lost.

"I..."

"Doniel, what are you still hesitating about?" Xiya's watery eyes were filled with confusion: "We are here to pick you up."

"..." Doniel was speechless. After all, it was he who contacted Bick, and they found this place.

But his thoughts at that time were different from now. He was seriously injured at the time, and in order to reduce the burden on Qi Yan, he hoped to return to Chickeris as soon as possible... But now, Qi Yan will not leave, how can he leave by himself?

Bick saw the state of the two people, his heart sank slightly, and he seemed to confirm a certain guess in his heart.

"Mr. Qi Yan, do you want to go back with us?" Bike suddenly said, "We have seen the government's wanted warrant. It would be easy for Mr. Qi Yan to be caught if he is outside alone."

Qi Yan looked at Bike in surprise, and Xiya also looked over with astonished eyes.

Compared to Qi Yan and Xiya's surprise, Doniel was much more surprised: "Bick! Are you telling the truth?!"

"Of course." Bick smiled lightly: "Doniel, I thought a lot when you were not around, including the kid Mas, who taught me a lot. It's right for us not to forget hatred, but we can't blindly hate innocent people."

Doniel was extremely moved. He walked over and hugged Bick's shoulders like good friends: "Good boy!"

"Not to mention that Mr. Qi Yan saved you, Mr. Qi Yan's contribution to us in Chickeris alone is huge. Now that Mr. Qi Yan is in trouble, we can't just give up on him as if we don't know him."

In the eyes of others, Bick is the synonym of hot temper. He would not calm down to talk about anything, but would always judge in anger. Now his attitude changed drastically, causing Qi Yan's calm heart to have a little doubt.

...What's wrong with Bick? His words just now were obviously not in collusion with Xiya.

Could it be that Bick really figured something out?

They are all adults, and if a child like Mas can figure it out, Bick may really see through something.

But even so...

"I won't go back with you."

They don't hate innocent people, and Qi Yan won't implicate innocent people.
