Her knife, the second knife, the third knife, the medicine Mr. Baicao gave her... these are her last trump cards.
Zi Tong's real trump card is one person, the man who is turning towards her now.
Whenever she wants, he is always there.
"Beichen." She called his name in a low voice.
Before the final sound of the word Chen disappeared, Beichen had already pulled him over and held him in his arms.
"I'm sorry, I left the customs a little late."
"Idiot." Zi Tong gently sniffed the long-lost scent on his body, "Congratulations."
She called him a fool because she said sorry. Between her and him, there was no need for such boring emotions as sorry or thank you.
That congratulation was naturally congratulations on his release from quarantine.
"How are you?" Beichen frowned and raised his hand to brush her messy hair away, his dark eyes filled with distress.
At dusk last night, he had successfully come out of seclusion. The first thing he did after coming out of seclusion was to look for her in the academy. But he found out that she had gone to Dongzhou for blood training. Without hesitation, he immediately came to Dongzhou to look for her.
Just because he didn't know much about Dongzhou, he couldn't be sure where she was, so he could only look for her in the direction of the oasis based on his feeling.
When Zi Tong summoned him, he was already in the Dongzhou Desert, but still hundreds of miles away.
"Go and save him." Zi Tong turned and looked at Mu who was not far away, "Don't let him die, otherwise, I owe him my life."
Beichen turned his face to look at Mu, raised his eyebrows slightly, and walked over with Zi Tong in his arms. He glanced at Mu casually, sat on the sand dune with Zi Tong in his arms, took out a pill from the ring and stuffed it into Mu
in the mouth.
"The injury is not serious and I won't die. Don't worry."
Zi Tong chuckled, "It smells so jealous!"
He lowered his face and looked at her pale face. The little jealousy in his heart was filled with heartache again. He raised his hand and stroked her face gently. Beichen let out a long sigh.
"You..."
Just two words, but they contain extremely complex emotions.
There is resentment, helplessness, and more importantly, heartache.
This little girl seems to always be related to danger. Every time we see her again, she is almost always in an injured state.
"Anyway, if you're injured, you won't die." Zi Tong smiled lightly, "Besides, I wasn't injured this time."
This time, she was indeed not injured, just weak due to overexposure.
Raising his hand and caressing her little face, Beichen said in a low voice, "I will never leave you again."
She rested her head on his arm and looked at him with a smile on her purple eyes.
"Lower down, let me take a good look at you."
At this moment, she was completely weak and just wanted to have a good sleep, but she didn't want to. She hadn't seen him for more than half a year and how could she be willing to sleep after they had just met her.
Beichen did as he was told, and put his face in front of hers, letting her look at him, and he looked at her too.
Compared with before the retreat, her appearance did not change much, but her cheeks were slightly thinner, and her facial features became more delicate. She was taller and heavier. Although he did not see how tall she was,
But when I hold her every day, I can feel it when I hold her in my arms.
Zi Tong struggled to open her eyes, which she wanted to close tightly, and raised her fingers with difficulty to touch his face.
"Did you miss me?"
Raising his hand to support her obviously weak palm, Beichen looked at her with concern.
"Besides practicing, I just miss you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed so long."
