"What I just said didn't mean anything." Whenever Doniel spoke, his chest would vibrate: "Now that you're awake, you can't continue to live here."

Qi Yan also thought that he shouldn't stay in the ice room.

"I've already prepared a room for you, the kind you like."

In addition to the ice room, there was a long corridor. Qi Yan looked at the corridor, and the confusion and joy in his heart froze instantly.

Here... is the government, the main star of Shuta that he was very familiar with.

And Doniel -

Qi Yan raised his head suddenly, looking at Doniel's angular chin and profile, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to make his qi flow smoothly.

"Doniel..." Qi Yan tried to shout: "You just said...Bick..."

Doniel just said that Bick was dead, and he was stupid, and he used Bick to call back such a ridiculous statement. Qi Yan was so happy after waking up that he had no time to care about this matter, but now, facing Doniel, he has a different kind of fear.

This is definitely not the Doniel in Samoth!

When Bick was mentioned, Doniel's hand holding Qi Yan suddenly tightened, Qi Yan felt it, but did not say it.

"Don't mention Bick, don't mention Xia. Now it's just you and me." Doniel said, "Don't you miss me? I hope you'll come back alive day and night. Now that you're finally alive, I can't let you go anymore."

Qi Yan paused and said nothing, which was considered as a response to Doniel's words.

The room Doniel prepared for Qi Yan was next to his, a very ordinary room, but the decoration and furnishings inside were obviously well thought out. It has to be said that Qi Yan likes this room very much, because inexplicably, it feels like being in a tree house in Samothrace. Qi Yan recovered quickly after recuperating here, and Doniel came to see him every day and told him some interesting stories, which made him feel good.

Maybe his initial uneasiness was just overthinking, and Doniel is still Doniel now.

But living on the main star of Shuta, which is also a government territory, Qi Yan was worried. He didn't know what Doniel's current identity was, and whether anything else would happen if he lived here.

This tranquility that could be created was like a bubble. Once touched, it would shatter and disappear.

Qi Yan recovered very well and could talk freely within half a month. But his body functions have not yet fully recovered. For example, walking is now like a baby learning to walk. He only walks for a while every day to stretch his muscles.

The quieter life is, the more uneasy Qi Yan feels. Many times he can hear two strangers wandering around his door, looking at him and monitoring him from time to time. He told Doniel, but Doniel just comforted him after being puzzled, thinking that he thought too much after waking up.

Although Doniel's consolation had some effect, Qi Yan didn't think living in confusion was a good thing.

That night, Qi Yan finally asked the doubts that he had buried in his heart for a long time.

"Doniel, this is the government." Qi Yan sat on the bed and whispered to Doniel who was peeling oranges beside the bed: "I know, I know this very well..."

"Oh." Doniel paused and said a faint "oh": "Come, eat oranges."

"...Answer me." Qi Yan pushed away the orange he handed over: "You didn't answer me, nor did you tell me why we are here, where are all the people in Samud? Where are Mas and the others?"

"Enough!" Doniel suddenly interrupted Qi Yan with a loud voice.

Qi Yan was startled by his sudden standing up. He stared at him, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

Donil's expression was somewhat gloomy and unclear. He looked at Qi Yan, leaned down, and put his hands on his sides.

"What did you do..."

"Don't ask so many questions." Doniel's voice was light, as if it had lost its warmth: "You just need to know that being with me is enough."

"Doniel..." Qi Yan finally knew what was causing his uneasiness: "You've changed."

"I haven't!" Doniel shouted in denial: "It's not me who has changed! It's Bick! It's Xia!"

"It's you..." Qi Yan looked sad: "You killed them, didn't you?"

"It's not me!" Doniel looked at Qi Yan seriously: "It wasn't me who killed them, it was fate."

Qi Yan curled his lips bitterly: "Doniel, you abandoned everyone, didn't you?"

"I didn't give up, they forced me to leave!" Doniel's voice became hysterical: "Why did they treat you like this? The same goes for Beck and Thea. You are the one I love. They are my relatives and friends. Instead of blessing me, they killed you... How can I feel at ease? How can I let them go!"

"Do you know how sad I was when Thea was killed by Beck? She was like my sister... Samoed was torn into pieces and could no longer find its former glory. Before he died, Beck shouted at me that he was doing this for my own good..."

"Killing you is for my own good..."

"I know this is just a dream... Many people told me that the dead cannot be resurrected. The bloody facts are in front of me, but I don't want to believe it..."

"Even if it's just a dream, I don't want to wake up..."

"You exist here. You are alive here."

Doniel's expression was a little confused, as if he was driven crazy by the torture of his inner demons.

Qi Yan watched without blinking, and could only cry silently.

"Why are you crying... This has nothing to do with you. This is my problem. You are like an angel, saving me." Doniel suddenly smiled softly, and his hand stroked Qi Yan's cheek to wipe away his tears.

Qi Yan's eyes fell on Doniel's blue eye bags. Maybe in order not to wake up from this "wonderful dream", he hasn't slept for a long time...

"Doniel..." Qi Yan murmured: "Take a nap."

Qi Yan hugged Doniel's neck, trying to bring him to the bed and lie on the bed with him.

Doniel was stunned by the sudden hug. After a long time, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "Are you going to chase me away too..."

"No, everything will be fine when I wake up."

"You won't be here when you wake up."

Doniel hugged Qi Yan's waist, buried his head deeply in his neck, breathing in the unique scent of Qi Yan.

"You blame me for doing something wrong, right? You blame me for abandoning the Samod people... I woke up from my sleep, and the dream was over."

"You are chasing me away. I don't want to see Doniel like this, right?"

"Ugh... Damn it, what can I do? I don't want Doniel like this either."

"Qi Yan, come back, I miss you so much... When you really come back, we will go back together."

"That oasis is our home."
