"Captain Kalki, you shouldn't be here." Yao Ji was obviously very angry, but her tone of voice was still very gentle. This was almost her professional habit when facing senior commanders. "Although Xuanji violated the regulations,
We did not impose any punishment on her, and transferring her to Panacea was also for the sake of the future of the two of you."
"It is also the right of the leader of the Knights to choose a suitable caregiver, which is completely in compliance with the regulations." Kalki replied softly, "I choose Xuanji, so you can't send her away."
At this time, everyone was silent. As long as the Platonic people heard that the law or canon allowed it, they would no longer object.
"Captain Kalki, you really shouldn't leave anymore, it will hurt your body." Yifang timidly persuaded, "I will ask them to send the medical bed through the special passage."
She saw that he was almost clenching his teeth before he could move. He was trying hard to walk towards her. He must be in great pain, with veins popping up on his forehead and cold sweat dripping down his cheeks.
"I can't... I can't be your caregiver." Xuanji lowered her head sadly, "I said it at Osiris Base, you know, I won't commit myself. This is not what I want."
Kalki had a difficult and painful expression on his face, and he walked toward her with great effort and trembling.
"I want to be a competent vassal, no longer timid to escape, but stretch out my hands to protect my vassal, and never abandon her again..." He stretched out his arms to her, "The mistakes I have made before,
I won't do it again."
Xuanji's black eyes shone brightly. If she were still herself back then, she would have pounced on him long ago.
Seeing Xuanji still standing there, silent and with cold sweat on his forehead, Kalki wanted to use all his strength to get closer to her, but an unbearable pain made his eyes darken as he was weak.
"Kalki!" Xuanji quickly rushed towards him and hugged him with all her strength.
Kalki hugged her as well.
"Captain! It's too dangerous for you to be like this!" Yifang and the medical intelligent assistants surrounded him noisily almost at the same time, helping him not to fall to the ground.
"This way I can hug you in front of everyone..." He whispered softly in her ear, "You still smell as fresh as dew."
Xuanji blushed and pushed him away slightly, "You are too cunning." She glared at him.
"Cunning is for the enemy. I am absolutely sincere to you. Don't go to 'Panacia'. I can protect you here. Plato is no longer your 'father'. It is very dangerous."
Kalki looked at her, and as long as she looked into his eyes, she would lose her mind and even forget the passage of time.
In this way, she became Kalki's exclusive caregiver.
It was the beginning of another day of work. After Xuanji quickly washed herself, she walked into the dressing room. The robotic arm put on layers of clothes for her, and finally tied a delicate bow on her back.
When she entered the dimly lit single ward, she found that Kalki was lying there with no sleep at all. He was lying quietly, looking at the ceiling with his eyes open.
"You woke up so early? You should get more rest. You just had another minor operation yesterday."
"I had a dream. I dreamed about Sverin. He was covered in blood, lying in a body bag, and was placed in a morgue in the bottom of the transport ship. There were many, many people I knew there..."
She took a breath of air. Everyone in the hospital was spreading rumors about the White Tiger Knights' fiasco, "You shouldn't think so much, you should concentrate on recovering from your illness now."
"I have no choice but to think about it. I gambled away all the military power I commanded during my tenure as Grand Commander. Everything...I have almost nothing now."
"The Knights can replenish a large amount of new blood every year. Plato's war system is very solid." She comforted him softly.
Kalki frowned unconsciously, and Xuanji saw that there was already a slight fine line between his eyebrows. She thought of the radiant blue-eyed knight she saw a few years ago. He was as handsome as a god in the world.
Years of fighting and injuries have made Kalki's cheeks look longer.
"You should smile more." She gently touched the fine lines between his eyebrows, then stood up happily and walked to the big bed.
"Adjust the morning light of the morning glow so that you will feel happy when you get up." She said while tapping on the touch screen.
The curtains slowly opened, and a screen-like display showed a completely realistic sunrise-like view of the sea on Plato's planet, and even simulated the faint morning breeze, filling the dull and dark hospital room with a sense of freshness.
"Only by maintaining a good mood can we recover as soon as possible." Xuanji stood in front of the simulated sunrise of the same color as the sea and sky, and stretched her upper arms with full energy. She smiled. She had not been in such a happy mood for a long time.
.
And he lay looking at her, thinking that in the early morning in her small apartment, she would be as cute as a cat and cheer up.
When she turned back, she saw Kalki looking at her with fascination, his eyes as clear as the blue sea.
"I think about how you looked when I lived with you. You were still so cute."
"Listening to this tone, they look like an old couple..." Xuanji blushed.
"We are really an old married couple and have lived together for a long time. Have you forgotten?"
"Nonsense!" Her cheeks turned red and she hurriedly raised her fist, wanting to punch him, but he had quick eyesight and quick hands and pulled her directly onto him.
The two of them looked at each other, and their hearts were throbbing. There was always a special gravitational field between the two of them, which they had never experienced when they were with others.
Love is a kind of "karma", which binds them so strongly that it makes both parties feel uneasy.
"The ward is monitored. This is for your safety." She wanted to struggle away from him, but his arms hugged her tighter, "We should keep our distance."
"You just accidentally fell on me. The surveillance won't care about this kind of thing. Look, you can also help me arrange the pillow from above. My head is a little uncomfortable."
"What?"
"Please help me arrange the pillows." He let go of her and pointed in the direction with his finger.
Xuanji could only stand on tiptoes and help him pull down the big pillow in the upper right corner. At this time, he took the opportunity to press his face against hers.
"Kalki!" She slapped him neatly on the top of his blond head.
"It's a big mistake to beat a patient." He grabbed her hand as she was fleeing. "I'm just telling you that a wise commander can always use clever tricks to open up the enemy's defense line that they think is impregnable."
She looked back at him, her face completely red with embarrassment.
"You are someone else's husband, and she is waiting for you to come home." She said softly, as if to herself.
"But, Xuanji, you are my only comfort in this world now... Even if all the beauties in the world are sent to me, they are not worth one of your fingers. With you, I can see
The smile on your face is as beautiful as a flower, so I can give up some thoughts of seeking death."
