Ge Sheng opened his eyes again.
Above the head is a deep and desolate sky full of stars.
This time, Ge Sheng was honored that he did not have any illusions about who I was, where I was, and what I was doing.
The memory before coma was very clear, and it seemed that the medicine Christie took this time had very few side effects.
Thinking like this, Ge Sheng tried to raise his hands, only to find that he was tightly tied to the big tree that had been used as his temporary operating table. The rope used for binding was tough and flat, as if to avoid struggling hard and cutting into the flesh. And the resulting design.
What did Christie think of herself? A zombie that bites people when it opens its eyes?
Just when I had this thought, I heard the girl's voice that was unfamiliar at first but gradually became more and more familiar.
Soft and gentle, with a very tough and textured sound.
"Awake already? Three quarters of an hour earlier than I expected."
Ge Sheng looked sideways and saw Christie sitting under the starlight, holding his forehead and counting the falling stars.
The girl was obviously a little sleepy. The original neat and unique clothes had turned into Ge Sheng's bandages and rags after a series of changes. Now Christie appeared in front of Ge Sheng, her clothes were in tatters, and her face was covered with dust and mud. She was obviously She looked very embarrassed, but there was no trace of discouragement or confusion in her body or eyes. Instead, she seemed to be a little happy and excited about such a new experience.
"You haven't slept all this time?" Ge Sheng was a little surprised.
After falling here from another dimension, Christie has always been the busiest person, while Ge Sheng, as a boy, surprisingly did nothing.
She immediately dealt with Ge Sheng's injuries from the moment he fell, and after setting up a simple protective early warning device, she immediately confirmed the location of the fall, then rushed back and treated Ge Sheng's injuries with his consent. After undergoing open-air surgery, Ge Sheng's memory is only a few hours between these two periods of coma, but the sky has turned from noon to early morning.
Ge Sheng could not confirm whether it was the early morning after the day or the early morning of the next day, or even the early morning of the third day. However, judging from his physical condition and hunger level, Ge Sheng believed that he had only been unconscious for about six hours. .
So what did Christie do during this?
Would she be scared if she was alone and awake in this completely unfamiliar rainforest? Will you be afraid? Although it shows that the fear and fear of a guy like Christie seems to have nothing to do with her.
But after all, she is only a seventeen-year-old girl.
"I won't be afraid." Christie looked at Ge Sheng and chuckled: "There is no more scary animal in the world than humans, so I will feel more at ease in a place with fewer people."
Ge Sheng had no intention of chewing on the meaning of Christie's words. He lowered his head and pointed with his chin at the rope tightly tied to his body. No matter how tough the rope was, he had at least three ways to get out of trouble after regaining his consciousness. But at least ask first It’s not too late to ask what your intentions are.
So far, Christie has no motive to harm herself. If she wanted to do this, her bones would have become moldy.
On the contrary, from beginning to end, Christie seemed to be cultivating his affection for her.
"Tie them up." Christie said matter-of-factly, "As I said, the medicine I use will be very painful."
"But I didn't feel any pain at all."
"That's because." Christie smiled, a smile that was a bit chilling: "It hurts so much that my body doesn't dare to tell you."
"Your injury is just a simple cutting injury, which can be compared to an injury scratched by a glass blade. However, after the roll and collision, you received some troublesome infections, so you must further remove all the contaminated body, bandage it and rest. Waiting for a cure.”
"This is a conventional and conservative treatment plan, but now we just don't have time. What I need is an assistant who can regain 80% of his combat effectiveness as soon as possible and can do some simple help for my guard, not an assistant who needs to stay in bed for three months. He is sick, so I have to treat the injury that normally takes three months to heal within six hours."
"So, you need to use my medicine."
Ge Sheng has fully understood how crazy Christie is.
"But magic can obviously do such a thing."
"First of all, magic is not fully achieved. Using the Grace of Light for treatment can indeed shorten the recovery period from three months to three to nine hours. However, the resurrected body is fragile and requires long-term rehabilitation training to return to its previous state. Secondly, I don’t know how to use that series of magic.”
Christie said it simply, with nothing to hide.
Only then did Ge Sheng realize another thing that he had been ignoring.
"Are you a magician?"
Christie thought for a while and nodded: "In a conventional sense, my professional classification should be classified as a magician."
"What's the department?"
Christie did not hesitate this time: "All departments, all magicians. Only in this way can we do some research more conveniently."
"What about strong attributes?"
"No, I don't have strong attributes, so I can become a full-scale magician."
Ge Sheng sighed, ignoring that he was still being tied up and said, "May I ask Her Majesty the Queen what your rank is."
"According to the standard level of saints, I am a ninth-level intermediate magician of all series. Do you have any questions?" Christie answered truthfully.
Ge Sheng looked up at the sky: "Aren't you afraid?"
"Why are you afraid?" Christie asked.
"You are only level nine. You are alone on this deserted island. You cannot handle any accidents."
"So I said that when I build the teleportation array, I need you to protect me."
"Then what should you do if a high-level monster appears after I was tied up by you?"
"Kill him." Christie said matter-of-factly.
"You are only at level nine!" Ge Sheng emphasized the important setting of Christie, which is only at level nine.
The seventeen-year-old genius girl, Her Majesty the Queen of the Commercial Federation, turned out to be an even more useless person than Senior Zhou Xuan.
Christie smiled sharply and calmly: "Who told you that killing can only be based on level?"
Saying this, Her Majesty the Queen stretched out her hand and gently swiped, and the ropes on Ge Sheng's body slipped like catkins. With Ge Sheng's eyesight, he could not see how she did it.
"There are countless people in this world who want to kill me." Christie looked at Ge Sheng who had regained his freedom and smiled coldly: "I have killed countless people."
"But as long as I don't want to die, there will be no one in this world who can kill me."
"Do you believe?"
Ge Sheng did not answer.
He just believed again that this guy was indeed a queen-level existence.
Christie looked at Ge Sheng's silence, read the answer he wanted from his heart, and then smiled slightly: "Okay, starting tomorrow morning I will try to build the teleportation array, which may take up to three days, but here Before, can you grant me a request?"
Ge Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
Christie smiled, then fell straight down and fell among the soft and rotten leaves.
She sleeps among the decaying leaves.
She did not say her request, but Ge Sheng read it for the first time.
"Please let me sleep peacefully, please?"
Christy was still asleep.
Ge Sheng sat next to her.
The morning light is faint.
Ge Sheng didn't know what kind of mood Christie had been waiting for him during those few hours when he was asleep under the influence of drugs, waiting until he finally woke up.
Even though the girl herself had been working hard for two days and one night, and was extremely tired and sleepy, she still stayed by Ge Sheng's side, as if the stars had disappeared and she was still immersed in a dark and sweet dream.
But for Ge Sheng, the experience of waiting beside Christie that night was very wonderful and sweet.
The sleep state is the most vulnerable state of any creature. It is equivalent to removing all means of defense and only showing one's weakest state in front of others. Therefore, the palace of any high-ranking person is the most heavily guarded. Place.
In Ge Sheng's lifetime, Christie was the fifth woman he had the honor to witness sleeping soundly.
Needless to say, the first one was An Ning’s mother. Strangely enough, apart from An Ning, Ge Sheng had never seen Liuye Lihua, the two mother’s personal maids, sleeping. They had their own rooms, but Ge Sheng When I was a child, I never had any reason to enter their room. I could get used to it when I was a child. But now that I learned from Stella about An Ning’s unknown hidden identity, as my mother’s personal maids, their true identities I was also doubtful.
The second one is His Highness the Third Highness. Although he and Ye Qing met earlier and seemed to have a closer relationship, the indifferent and cold girl at that time maintained a subtle alienation attitude towards everything around her. For her, , at that time, I was just a suitable communication partner, and had no more meaning. As the years go by, today's Ye Xiaojiu really can't see much of the stunning and lonely girl in white, but it has never been said that such Ye Qing did not exist. In other words, before Ye Qing in the City of Eternal Night formally recognized him as his brother with the shaman's gift, the relationship between Ge Sheng and Ye Qing was not actually close enough to sleep soundly in front of each other. But the Third Highness is not the case. You can say that the girl has no sense of defensiveness and shame at all. You can also say that the Third Highness is so magnanimous and free-spirited that everyone in the world is embarrassed. But in fact, on the first night when Ge Sheng and the Third Highness met, they fell in love with each other. Spent that sad and heavy night in the same bed.
Looking back now, His Highness's expression was not her trust and love for Ge Sheng.
The third one is Ye Qing. After the City of Eternal Night, the brothers and sisters quickly adapted to their roles, so the dialogue and vows in the igloo created a stronger bond for each other. , so not only did they sleep together on the igloo that time, but also in the many afternoons and nights that followed, Ye Qing would suggest him to stay overnight, and they shared the most joy and sorrow with each other.
As for the fourth person, many people will ignore or forget it, but Ge Sheng remembers it clearly.
Ziquan.
In the heavy and slow nine days and nine nights of the lava plane, the two people faced each other and almost lost all privacy. All eating and excretion were completed in that small bunker, and they only needed to turn the other person's back. Everything, not to mention sleep, since they have to keep one person awake at all times, so except for the time of telling stories, the two of them are mostly watching each other's sleeping faces.
Although Ge Sheng never said anything and Ziquan also remained silent, they both understood that the nine days and nine nights in the lava plane had already made them unique to each other, a different kind of friendship. Family affection is also different from love. If we really want to make an analogy, we can barely describe their relationship using words like comrades-in-arms or acquaintances.
Christie is the fifth, but completely different from the previous four.
An Ning is similar to Ye Qing. The relationship between them is family, one is mother and son, the other is brother and sister, so it is natural to be unguarded when sleeping.
The Third Highness has another weird relationship. Only after understanding the nature of the Third Highness Mengdie now can we understand the various actions of that girl.
She clearly understands the fact that she does not belong to humans, but she always hopes to integrate herself into human society, at least she does not want to be out of place.
"Sleeping in the same bed" with Ge Sheng is, in a sense, an extension of this meaning. What she hopes to convey to Ge Sheng is the very direct emotion of love and trust, although this is still incompatible with His Highness's own calmness. Directly linked to lack of common sense.
Ziquan, on the other hand, has a comradeship that is melted into his bones and blood. In that environment, let alone gender, even the boundaries of species are blurred. The only lava ape that he has come into contact with in the lava plane is different from the conventional sense on a material basis. Life is completely different, so at that time the two people relied more on an almost symbiotic connection to persist. So after leaving this environment, although it was never revealed, this symbiotic-like connection still existed. Between Ziquan and Gesheng.
Christie is nothing like the four guys who came before her.
Similarly, she and Ge Sheng only knew each other for just one day, but what happened during that day could definitely be ranked among the top three in Ge Sheng's fourteen years of rich experience.
She is as smart and wise as a demon, suspicious, willful, eccentric and narrow-minded, knowledgeable and practical, and has a noble status but a subtly bad character. Such a complex and slightly contradictory character is combined in such a seventeen-year-old girl, just like herself. A reclusive and powerful family head is also full of absurdity and incredible atmosphere.
However, now, this girl with fear and contradiction is lying in front of her so calmly and even cutely, her long eyelashes trembling, her round and shiny white face like a jade sculpture covered with pearl powder, which makes people feel... For the first time, I truly realized that she was actually a human being.
A human girl.
Although Christie always gives Ge Sheng the illusion that she does not belong to human beings.
Ge Sheng did not move Christie's position. The dead leaves in the rainforest were not dry, but they were not wet either. From a soft and pleasant perspective, it could be called an excellent mattress. It was late spring, and Ge Sheng did not have any extra clothes. , but this is not an alien space, and the space package can be used at will, so Ge Sheng just took out two blankets, one spread under the girl's body, and one covered her body, which was warm and comfortable.
After doing all this, he just looked at Christie's sleeping face, peaceful and pleasant.
Not pushy, not domineering.
Not honorable, not noble.
After Christie lost all her disguised temperament and aura, the girl appeared in front of her.
Quiet, vulnerable.
beauty.
So much so that it's a bit incredible.
Ge Sheng looked at Christie's sleeping face, watched her lightly flutter her eyelashes again, and then opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, everything she had lost gathered from all directions like flying bats with wings, re-arming and wrapping her up.
The familiar yet unfamiliar girl appeared in front of Ge Sheng again. She did not stand up, but smiled sideways:
"Have you seen enough? Boy."
