Mu Huan also knew that now was not the time to say anything. Without hesitation, she followed him to a safe place.
They had not run far when more debris flew past where they were.
The two of them ran even faster.
They only stopped when theyâd run out of the battle zone.
âOnce youâre done, hurry back to the country.â The man turned around and left before Mu Huan could react.
She grabbed him quickly. âYouâre hurt. Let me help you with your wounds.â
Heâd saved her. If not for him, those things would all have fallen on her.
âYou donât have to.â
âI insist,â she said, taking a step forward and leaning closer to him. She could see his face clearly in the dim light.
The man had the same makeup as the one at the auction.
âYou donât have to,â the man said, pulling back his hand to leave.
âDonât you like me? Why are you so against me getting close to you? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?â He didnât meet her by accident the previous two times. That he could save her now shouldnât be an accident either. He followed her like this, but now, he was in such a hurry to leave.
âDonât you dislike older people?â
Mu Huan: â...â
Did he mean that because she did not like older people, he would not appear in front of her and would only silently protect her?
âI donât like owing favors.â
âYou donât have to feel like you owe me a favor.â
Mu Huan was silent for a while.
âWait for me, Iâll give you some medicine,â she said as she let go of him and reached for the medicine in her pocket.
The man said nothing. He waited.
âThis medicine, if used three times a day, will make your wounds leave no trace,â Mu Huan said.
âOkay.â The man took the medicine and turned to leave.
But she followed.
âLet me ask you a question. Itâs purely one of curiosity.â
âAsk.â
âWhy donât you show your true face?â He said that he liked her and followed her around, but he didnât show his true face. This made her very curious.
âBecause itâs ugly.â
Mu Huan: â...â
Why did she feel that this was just a random excuse?
âDid we know each other before?â He also gave her an odd sense of familiarity, especially when he spoke.
His voice made her feel as if she had heard it many times.
âNo.â
She raised an eyebrow.
At that moment, a black car stopped beside them. The man opened the car door and got in.
She didnât linger long before heading back to the hotel. Sheâd seen the wound on his back while they were on the run earlier. Judging from his breathing and his pulse from when sheâd grabbed him, he was fine. Just an injury, probably a superficial one.
In any case, she would definitely be able to see him again in the future. She would repay this favor when that time came.
The moment Bo Junyan got into the car, he collapsed.
Gong Zeye, who was sitting in the front seat, was scared out of his wits. He immediately made a turn and drove toward the hospital.
âThereâs no need to go to the hospital,â Bo Junyan said.
He was the best surgeon around.
The injury on Bo Junyanâs back was only a superficial one, but he had already sustained significant injuries. The shockwave from the explosion and the huge rock that had smashed into his back had caused his original injuries to worsen.
âI know youâre the best surgeon, Brother Bo, but you canât treat yourself,â Gong Zeye said.
âI have a doctor with me who will be accompanying me back to camp.â It was a simple matter of tending to his injuries and resting. He had urgent matters to attend to.
Gong Zeye made another turn and headed toward their camp.
...
The hotel Mu Huan was in was a protected area. The people here lived a normal life.
