The system flew in the air, tilting the panel in confusion.
She is reckless and fierce. What past events could she have dreamed about that would make it a nightmare?
Could it be...
Thinking of the incident half a year ago that was almost taboo for Qian Qi, the system decisively turned off the mic and stopped making any sound.
Qian Qi looked at the time and found that she had only slept for an hour.
The bad and troublesome dream made her not want to sleep any more, so she got up and walked towards Nangong Yan's room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, a dagger was placed on his neck.
"Who?" There was a cold dark light shining on the blade. Qian Qi raised his eyes and saw the weak Nangong Yan, holding the sharp dagger in front of her neck. The tight body clearly didn't have much strength. The peach blossom However, his eyes shone with a ferocious light of extreme vigilance.
The murderous intent in his eyes was cold and unfailing.
When he saw that the person coming was Qian Qi, he seemed to be relieved and fell on her shoulders with relief.
Qian Qi felt that his reaction was a bit familiar.
When she was little, her older brothers and younger brothers were thinking of beating her, so they wanted to show her off while she was sleeping in the middle of the night. As a result, Qian Qi was so tense at night that she couldn't sleep well. At the slightest movement, all the trees and grass would jump up and down. , thinking that they, the brats, were here to paint a turtle bastard on her face again.
However, looking at the knife on his neck, it was obvious that what Nangong Yan was going through was not a trivial matter like hers, so even with a high fever, he was still so vigilant, for fear that something might take the opportunity to kill him.
"Your high fever has returned." Qian Qi touched his forehead, which was getting hot again.
"I called the doctor over." The man laughed a little at himself, "I won't trouble you."
"..." Qian Qi scratched his face with his index finger and said cheekily, "That's not too troublesome..."
The man's fingertips moved slightly, and his tone became more and more self-deprecating, "Why, are you taking pity on me?"
"..." Qian Qi was silent. She didn't pity Nangong Yan, she pity herself.
It happened in the middle of the night, making her sleep uneasy.
"Where did all the injuries on your body come from?" Qian Qi weighed it and asked this question, "I see that some of the injuries don't look like they were left by Nangong Zhang."
"I don't want to tell you." Nangong Yan raised his hand and weakly hugged her waist, resting his head on her shoulder like a snuggle. His dark pupils drooped slightly, and his restrained emotions flickered, "Our relationship, It doesn’t seem like you’re good enough to share this kind of thing, right?”
Qian Qi: "..."
"Okay, actually I'm not very curious either." Qian Qi finally felt pity, but felt heartbroken after being rejected, so he turned around and left.
As soon as she took half a step, the man grabbed her sleeve and said, "I was wrong, let me tell you."
Qian Qi snorted and said nothing, looking like he was just obeying.
"It's not as bad as you think." Nangong Yan raised the gold-rimmed glasses in his hand and put them on his ears. The thin golden chain swayed slightly, gradually exaggerating the man's previously disappeared aggression and danger. Come back.
"They are all injuries caused when I entered the dungeon. If my abilities are not good enough, I will inevitably be injured by the monsters. As for the others..." He paused and wrote lightly, "It's just Nangong Zhang's habit of overriding and controlling me."
Qian Qi blinked.
"Oh..." She responded slightly perfunctorily, "So that's it."
She had to be a dog to believe it. There were some wounds on his body that were bitten by monsters. It looked like they were left more than ten years ago, from breaking into a dungeon?
fart.
He just wanted to be shameless, so he didn't tell her the truth.
But Qian Qi also wants to lose face. If it were her, she would be so understated and half-truthful, and she didn't want to suffer a real misfortune.
So she cooperated and didn't ask any questions. She just leaned against the door frame, folded her arms and said nothing.
He probably knew that the girl opposite her didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart. The man rubbed the thin golden chain under his glasses and fell into silence.
A strange and inexplicably harmonious atmosphere began to spread between the two, until the doorbell suddenly rang outside the door, breaking the strange atmosphere.
"I'll go take a look." Qian Qi immediately jumped up from the door frame and strode quickly towards the main door.
The man behind him lowered his eyes and smiled silently.
What came was a woman in a white coat with a low ponytail. Qian Qi didn't recognize her, but when the woman saw Qian Qi, she immediately recognized her identity.
Wen Yiyao recognized Qian Qi. In Hongcheng, Nangong Yan asked her to leave the laboratory for the first time to treat people with healing techniques. Later, Wen Yiyao was really curious about the girl whose face was covered by Nangong Yan's handkerchief. , so I checked online about Hongcheng.
Then based on her clothing, she was confirmed to be Qian Qi.
But why is she here with the boss?
"Who are you?" Qian Qi looked at Wen Yiyao. She did not recognize this person in the memory search.
"I'm the doctor of the Nangong family. The old... second young master called me here." Wen Yiyao adjusted her thick black glasses frames and whispered quickly.
"Oh, he's inside." Qian Qi pointed the direction to Wen Yiyao. Wen Yiyao nodded slightly, then ran into Nangong Yan's room with a huge medical box in both hands.
Qian Qi turned to look at the honest-looking Wen Yiyao's back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
this person……
He looks like he's easy to bully.
Thinking of something, the expression on Qian Qi's face gradually became abnormal.
[…You are enough] The system is speechless, [Don’t try to intimidate honest people to get the information you want. 】
Qian Qi made a sound.
How could it be called a threat? She just wanted to have a friendly and kind communication.
After patting his butt, Qian Qi followed him into the house.
Wen Yiyao was a little surprised that Qian Qi came in. She subconsciously looked at Nangong Yan, but she didn't expect that Nangong Yan's expression didn't change. He took off his shirt directly as if he didn't see Qian Qi coming in at all.
Wen Yiyao couldn't suppress the shock in her heart. After all, even two years later, she still remembered Nangong Yan's terrifying eyes when she accidentally saw the injuries on Nangong Yan's body, looking at her as if he were looking at a dead person.
But this girl...
Wen Yiyao couldn't help but glance at Qian Qi again, inevitably guessing the relationship between the two.
She... who is she who can make her boss show her ugliness without any hesitation? She can even make her boss open his mouth and risk being discovered by Nangong Zhang, and enter the war zone to save her?
Could it be that she is...
"Wen, Yi, Yao."
The man's warning voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Wen Yiyao suddenly felt cold all over. She quickly withdrew her gaze and began to check Nangong Yan's physical condition.
But in my heart, I was even more horrified.
The boss never revealed her name in front of outsiders, but now he called her name directly in front of Qian Qi!
It seems that the boss really likes her?
At that moment, the feeling in Wen Yiyao's heart was suddenly indescribable. She bit her lip slightly and suppressed the trembling in her body and heart.
But……
She knew that Qian Qi was strong and kind-hearted. Even though she had never met him, she pieced together the girl's character from various reports.
Boss...is he worthy of liking an upright and kind-hearted savior?
This is ridiculous!
Wen Yiyao, who works under Nangong Yan, is very aware of the craziness of her boss. It's not that she has never thought about escaping from this special job, but her child... still needs the resources of the laboratory.
She persisted until now with a despicable mentality that others would be involved even if she wasn't herself.
So...does she know about Qian Qi?
Thinking of the message her boss sent during the day, Wen Yiyao couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
It seems that she doesn't know.
And, he didn't dare.
Wen Yiyao suddenly curled her lips.
Even though she had become an accomplice, Wen Yiyao still felt happy and ridiculous because she discovered that Nangong Yan was still afraid of something.
After quickly confirming Nangong Yan's physical condition, Wen Yiyao activated the healing light and injected it into his body.
Nangong Zhang's torture tricks are just the same, nothing new.
Wen Yiyao had already figured it out over the years, so he repaired the broken tendons and shattered bones very skillfully to avoid causing multiple diseases and causing Nangong Yan's body to be even more damaged.
As for the scars on his body, she did not repair them, not because she was unwilling or unable, but because Nangong Yan refused.
Perhaps it was to remind him not to forget the shame he suffered during those twenty years.
"Second Young Master, are you still feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" After the treatment was completed, Wen Yiyao asked symbolically.
She is very confident in her medical and healing skills.
"Well." Nangong Yan didn't care how much he was cured, as long as he was well enough to act as usual. He buttoned up the button slowly, and then introduced to Qian Qi calmly, "This is from the laboratory under my name. Assistant, Wen Yiyao, she will accompany us today to introduce you to the laboratory."
Wen Yiyao trembled slightly in her heart. As a subordinate, she knew best that some of Nangong Yan's words were true and some were false.
She couldn't help but glance at Qian Qi secretly, and when she saw her very interested look, she couldn't help but struggle inside.
Should she...should she give Qian a seven-point hint?
However, with the boss's keenness, he will definitely discover her thoughts. If Qian Qi's supply of laboratory resources is cut off because she is unwilling to join the laboratory, then her child...
Thinking of her daughter crying for her mother on the operating table, Wen Yiyao clenched her fists and closed her eyes resignedly.
sorry……
She is a selfish mother.
