Chapter 167: You Couldn’t Bear To Let Me Die
Because of Yao Ran's casual words, Long Yu's mind was busy imagining the yellow scene, and he didn't feel much pain. After Yao Ran cleaned his wounds, she found that Long Yu didn't even frown. Seeing this, she added another point for Long Yu in her heart.
Yao Ran smiled and then shifted her gaze back to Long Yu's back. Seeing the bleeding wounds covering his back, she couldn't help but look at Long Yu again. If he hadn't used his body to protect her, she would have been hurt badly.
While applying medicine and bandaging his wounds, Yao Ran couldn't help but ask, "Why did you do that?"
Long Yu didn't hear her question clearly because he was busy thinking, so he asked, "What?" Yao Ran was silent for a few seconds and asked again, "Why did you use your body to protect me? If the explosion was stronger, you could die."
Hearing her question, Long Yu thought about it and said, "My body reacts faster than my mind."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing this, Yao Ran's hands paused, and she said gloomily, "Long Yu, I don't need anyone's protection. I can protect myself. You only have one life. You should cherish it."
Long Yu heard something in her voice and turned to look at her. He held her hand and looked into her eyes, which saddened him because they revealed her fragility and pain.
He held her soft hands tighter and said, "Ran Ran, I know you don't need my protection, and I didn't do this for you. Everything I did for you was for myself."
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Long Yu explained, "I protected you because I wanted to. I don't need your thanks, nor do I need your reward. All I want is for you to live safely, happily, and peacefully."
"When I realized that the badge was actually a bomb, my body reacted faster than my brain. I just know I can't let you get hurt anymore. After the bomb exploded, I was really glad that it was me who got hurt and not you."
He then smiled and added, "Aren't you the same as me? I told you to leave repeatedly, but you didn't leave me. Isn't it for yourself? You couldn't bear to let me die."
When Yao Ran heard this, she was stunned. She lowered her eyes and thought for a long time before saying, "I think you are right."
Hearing this, Long Yu's smile deepened. He said, "Since you agree with me, from now on, you can accept everything I give you and do for you with peace of mind."
When she heard this, Yao Ran frowned and looked at him. Although she suspected that Long Yu deliberately dug a hole for her, she had no evidence. After staring at him doubtfully for a moment, she continued to bandage his wounds and then treated the wounds on his forehead. When she was done, Yao Ran said, "Do you want to clean up your body? Although you can't take a shower, you can wipe away the dirt with warm water. I have prepared towels and clean clothes for you in the bathroom."
Long Yu nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Ran Ran."
Yao Ran looked at his smile and felt her cheeks getting hotter. Her heartbeat quickened, and she quickly stood up.
"I, I'm going to make something to eat. You can take your time and come to the living room when you are done."
After speaking, she hurriedly left the bedroom without waiting for Long Yu to speak. Seeing her running away with a blushing face, Long Yu chuckled and went to the bathroom.
While Yao Ran and Long Yu were resting in space, the pursuers were busy searching under the heavy snow.
After searching for two hours, the leader finally gave up and said, "Let's go back to headquarters."
Following his orders, they quickly returned to the headquarters, leaving only traces of the explosion behind.
Long Yu and Yao Ran stayed in the space for five hours. After eating and having a good rest, their stamina was restored.
Long Yu looked at his watch and said, "It's already five o'clock in the morning. Ran Ran, can you let me go out so I can see what's going on outside?"
Yao Ran thought for a while and shook her head, "Your injury is very serious. You should stay here. I will go out and have a look. If they are still there, I can just come back here before they notice me."
Long Yu thought about her words for a while and agreed, "Alright. But you must be careful." "I know."
After making the decision, Yao Ran prepared constant-temperature clothing, stab-proof clothing, a set of winter clothes, a jacket, and an arctic suit for Long Yu. She also gave him a new mask, snow goggles, and gloves.
Long Yu looked at the men's clothes and felt sour in his heart. He looked at her and asked, "Ran Ran, you also prepare men's clothes? Did you prepare them for someone?"
Yao Ran didn't know what he was thinking and replied, "Yes. Although I can't use it myself, I can use it for bartering with others. I don't know what's going to happen in the future, so I'm just trying to be as prepared as possible."
She grinned and proudly added, "If I hadn't prepared enough, you might have had to wear those dirty, torn clothes."
Long Yu looked at her proud expression and felt a feather brushing his heart, which made him feel itchy.
"..." How could she be so cute?
After the two of them wore the clothes and put on the equipment, Yao Ran said, "You wait here first. After I confirm that those people are gone, I will take you out."
Long Yu nodded, and then Yao Ran disappeared. Before he could marvel at this mysterious space, he felt a strong suction power, and his vision darkened. The next second, Yao Ran's surprised voice came.
"Long Yu, did you come out on your own?"
