Chapter 67 I Stay
"Don't think I won't kill you." Zong Fang spoke coldly, completely different from when he spoke to Qiao Susu just now.
Karl smiled indifferently and wanted to say something sarcastic in return, but when he saw Qiao Susu standing nearby with a nervous look on her face, he didn't want her to be frightened, so he swallowed his words.
With Karl as a light bulb, Qiao Sui Sui and Zong Fang couldn't continue the conversation. Zong Fang just said that he would seriously consider it and asked her not to think too much and take a good rest.
In the following time, Carl was transported to a desolate wilderness by Zongfang's thought. He looked up to the sky and cursed "Fuck!", then began to grunt and dodge the annoying bloodthirsty crows, and had no time to heal his wounds.
Qiao Susu was still taken care of by Zong Fang at all times, but the man became much more restrained after he knew she was pregnant. He would just hug her to sleep at night and did nothing else in a well-behaved manner.
In this way, an unknown amount of time passed in the space. Zong Fang went to count the supplies to see how long they could last. Qiao Susu took advantage of his absence, closed her eyes, held her breath, and appeared in front of Carl out of thin air the next second.
The man was seen resting with his eyes closed against a big rock. Although he had no new injuries on his body, his overall condition did not look good.
"Karl."
Qiao Sui Sui walked over and squatted beside him. She called him a few times but couldn't wake him up, so she took out her medical kit. After bandaging a few exposed wounds, she judged that there should be more wounds under the clothes that were not visible. Those were the key.
Karl was only wearing a tight black T-shirt, with his military jacket pressed under him. At this time, Qiao Suisui pinched a corner of the T-shirt and gently lifted it up, and saw that the muscle lines on the man's abdomen were particularly prominent under the interweaving of light and shadow. Karl's skin was pale, and his body was like a marble sculpture, with every piece of his abdominal muscle tight and strong.
Qiao Susu lowered her eyes and saw three bloodstains running between his lower abdomen and groin. The wounds were very deep and were still bleeding in small amounts.
"Have you seen enough?"
She was startled by the man's sudden voice, and looked up, and saw that Karl had opened his eyes at some point, and was looking at her with a half-smile.
He curled his lips and said, "Do you want to touch it?"
Qiao Susu had become immune to his misconduct. She ignored the gaze that was following her closely, and quickly and skillfully took out tools from the medical box to bandage him, concentrating on her work.
Seeing that she ignored him, Karl was not annoyed. He just leaned against the stone behind him and watched her quick but orderly movements quietly. He found that her profile was more beautiful than her front face. Her facial features were delicate like a porcelain doll, and her eyelashes were like a feather fan when she lowered her head.
Karl particularly liked her cold face. He didn't know why, but he felt that this was the real Qiao Sui Sui. No fawning weakness, no flattering smile, only "I want" and "I get". Perhaps this is why he always couldn't help wanting to tease her.
The first time he saw her was on the second floor of the small building, when she was taken out from under Munakata by Ruka.
He should have scoffed at it, after all, he hated the weak so much.
But he caught sight of this powerless little female, and didn't even glance at Zongfang, even though the man was injured while protecting her.
She huddled in Luka's arms, looking extremely pitiful, but there was not a trace of fear in her eyes. She kept observing her surroundings calmly, and only showed uneasiness at certain times, that is, when Luka was concerned about her. Ruthless.
This was Karl’s first impression of Qiao Suisui.
Afterwards, he returned to the Federation to report, and somehow her image kept appearing in his mind. She could have written her thoughts on her face without disguising them, and she was a person with her own ideas, but she had to pretend to be an understanding little white rabbit. He began to feel curious about her.
He used his authority to retrieve Qiao Suisui's file from the Investigation Bureau and was surprised to find that her information was encrypted. Although females were rare and precious, the Federation would not do anything idle about such a trivial matter, which meant that her identity must be extraordinary.
Carl himself didn't know why he started to spend time searching for her on the Star Network, not missing any clues related to her. His work habits allowed him to quickly clarify some guesses: Qiao Suisui should have met Luka and Liberi first, and Zongfang was a later one, but none of them were her spouse or guardian.
With this discovery, Carl felt somewhat relaxed. He did not think too much about it and continued to look for traces related to her, this time starting with people related to her. He first clicked on Luka's account and found that this man was as boring as he imagined, and had never posted anything. When he was about to exit, he saw that there was only one person in Luka's follow list.
Carl clicked on the account and raised his eyebrows when he saw the popularity of the homepage.
So many males are paying attention, could it be that...
Just then, a message popped up on the computer, and Luka's account had new activity.
Carl clicked on it and saw the photos of each room, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
If you say he was deliberate, he didn't have any other purpose. But if you say he was honest, he still approached her on purpose.
"Okay, don't get wet recently, otherwise it will get inflamed."
Hearing her voice, Karl came back to his senses from his memory and saw a blood mark on her face. It should be because she accidentally rubbed it with the back of her hand when she was bandaging herself just now. Karl's fingertips moved, but she stood up the next second.
"I have to go back. It will be bad if Zongfang finds out that I'm not here. You'd better go back as soon as possible. Just because he doesn't kill you now doesn't mean he won't kill you in the future." Qiao Suisui put away the medical kit, turned around and looked at him, and said seriously: "Tell Luka and Ash that I'm fine. Zongfang didn't trap me. It's me who wants to stay here temporarily."
Carl frowned and asked why.
"You really like that snake?"
Qiao Susu didn't answer, but told him again to get out as soon as possible.
"I'm going out, and this space is going to collapse. Then you and that snake will both die here." Carl wanted to say something about that slutty snake, but when he looked at her clear eyes, he suddenly couldn't speak as carefreely as before.
Qiao Suisui didn't know this and was a little dissatisfied. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Is it too late now?" Karl stood up lazily, because the wounds on his body hurt every time he moved. Now is the perfect time to leave. He can use up the last bit of energy to take her out, but he won't tell Qiao Suisui about this. He just raised his eyebrows and smiled, his tone teasing and relaxed: "If you go out with me now, the snake will definitely die, and no one will bother you in the future, how great."
Qiao Suisui's breathing was a little unstable. She lowered her eyes, then looked up resolutely after a few seconds and said to Karl, "You go, I'll stay."
