Shocked, shocked, surprised, the discussion on the Internet was overwhelming.
There are also more than half of the hot topics related to Jolina's "semi-announced boyfriend".
Some people can't accept the idol's announcement of their relationship, some people drink lemons while sending blessings, and some people simply have a melon mentality.
But these have little to do with the parties concerned.
While the Internet was in an uproar, Jolina left the stage amidst roars of shouts from the crowd. Her figure with a slim waist, long legs and a high ponytail disappeared into the shadows of the contestant tunnel.
'The wound is very deep, but fortunately it did not damage the internal organs...it needs to be bandaged as soon as possible.'
Looking down at the bloody marks cut by the Kusanagi sword, Jolina pursed her lips, reached out and pushed open the door to the lounge, and made a calm judgment.
‘There is a medical kit in the lounge. You can simply treat the wound first, and then use the ‘Priestess’ to treat it.’
After opening the door, Qiao Linna was slightly startled and saw Lin Xiao, Sigrid, and Chu Yun already waiting in the lounge.
"Jolina, your injury..." Sigrid looked at the bloody wound on Jolina's body with worried eyes.
"It will recover soon. You can go out first." Jolina said.
"I can help you treat it!" Sigrid is a hacker and doctor.
Jolina smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I'm more used to treating myself."
During Sharo's travels, she was often injured. Fortunately, the "Priestess" in the Tarot was a card she obtained early on, which could provide "healing" abilities.
Chu Yun looked at Lin Xiao and saw him nodding slightly, so he patted Sigrid on the shoulder and motioned for her to follow him outside.
Snap.
Chu Yun closed the door to the lounge.
Jolina's forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat, she exhaled, turned her back to the still standing figure and said:
"Why don't you leave yet?"
"I'm actually a doctor." Lin Xiao said seriously.
"Okay, I got it...so get out quickly." Jolina said helplessly.
"Stop looking down on people, lie down and I'll bandage it for you!"
"Hey!" Qiao Linna's red child was slightly stunned, reflecting Lin Xiao's coming, and then she was a little embarrassed and angry.
How could you take advantage of someone's danger like this!
She was almost pressed on her shoulders and lay on the chair in the lounge.
Lin Xiao adjusted the back of the chair and used it as a simple operating table, murmuring:
"The scary thing about Tian Cong Yun Sword is not that it can be cut with one sword, but that the resentment of Yamata no Orochi will linger in the place where it is cut. The wound will be difficult to recover. It is more reliable for me to handle it..."
Qiao Linna stared at her watery ruby eyes and lay stiffly on the back of the chair, watching Lin Xiao's every move without saying a word.
"There happens to be a medical kit here..." Lin Xiao finished her preparations and looked back at Qiao Linna, "Are you going to take off your clothes yourself or should I do it?"
"Well..." Jolina sobbed unwillingly from her throat.
"Okay, don't waste time, time is precious." Lin Xiao walked up to Qiao Linna and stretched out her hands.
"I'll take it off..." Jolina said resignedly.
She took off her black and red suit jacket and waistcoat, revealing a Victorian black corset underneath.
Lin Xiao observed it for a moment, then asked with abandon: "Okay... where are the buttons on this thing?"
"Back there..." Jolina's cheeks were so red that they were almost bleeding, and she said softly, "Move gently..."
"Don't worry, I won't touch the wound."
Lin Xiao glanced at Qiao Linna's belly.
The Tian Congyun Sword drew a slash and tore a gap in the bra. The flesh and blood from the wound were exposed, and the dripping blood dyed the snow-white skin red.
Lin Xiao felt a little distressed. She was probably holding on just now so that she could walk back to the lounge with her head held high, instead of being carried back on a stretcher by the event's medical team.
Qiao Linna noticed the red boy's eyes twinkling slightly, stretched out her hand and grabbed his messy hair, smiled slightly, and said:
"I'm fine... getting hurt is just a common occurrence, isn't it the same for you?"
"I usually kill the enemy instantly and have no chance of getting hurt." Lin Xiao said expressionlessly.
Jolina twitched the corner of her mouth, and severe pain hit her wound: "You guy..."
Lin Xiao walked around behind her and helped her take off the bloody bra that was stuck to the wound. Jolina closed her eyes and hissed.
She was like a wounded white rabbit that had been caught without any control. Her lower abdomen with the vest line undulated slightly, and there was a deep wound a few inches above her navel, like a bloody centipede.
Lin Xiao didn't have the leisurely elegance to look around. He frowned slightly and said:
"My guess is correct... the Kusanagi Sword has the ability to prevent wounds from healing. It was a cursed sword taken out of Yamata no Orochi's corpse."
"God's Coming"
"Aren't you defeated by me?" Qiao Linna said harshly.
Lin Xiao turned a deaf ear and said methodically:
"I will clean the wound first, it will be a little painful, then use the power of gluttony to remove the curse of the Kusanagi sword, then use the Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases to stop the bleeding, and finally bandage it..."
Lin Xiao suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Qiao Linna: "No objection?"
Qiao Linna just stared at Lin Xiao motionless, but now she came to her senses and said a little awkwardly: "Of course... I have no objection."
There was saline in the medical kit. Lin Xiao took the bottle of saline to help Qiao Linna rinse it. She said nothing, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes and eyebrows were trembling slightly.
The next step was to extract the curse lingering on the wound. Lin Xiao's right palm lit up with a cluster of black light, carefully controlling the power of gluttony and walking along Jolinna's wound.
A shiver arose on Qiaolin's back, as if a feather was brushing across her belly. She opened her eyes and stared at Lin Xiao, who was paying full attention.
"Does it hurt?" Lin Xiao raised his eyes.
Jolina shook her head.
"It's not like I don't know your temper...it's okay, the pain will stop soon." Lin Xiao said loudly.
Qiao Linna was quiet for a moment, nodded, and saw an ancient scroll appearing in Lin Xiao's palm.
A healing power surged from the scroll, successfully stopping the bleeding, leaving only the last step of bandaging.
"I'll do it myself." Qiao Linna looked at the medical bandage in Lin Xiao's hand.
Lin Xiao said nothing, leaned over to finish bandaging Qiao Linna, and then he breathed a sigh of relief:
"It should be fine now."
The sky has completely darkened, and the rest room is quiet, echoing with the breath of the two people.
Lin Xiao raised her eyes and saw a different look in Qiao Linna's eyes.
The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and Lin Xiao's eyes moved downwards involuntarily.
"Don't look." Jolina said with a red face.
"You see, I have already seen all the money." Lin Xiao said confidently, "Now is the interest that should be paid."
"Tch..." Jolina bit her lip, reached for the shoulder strap, and said shyly: "Okay, okay..."
The girl with a high ponytail's mind was in chaos...Anyway, I had already identified him...
Lin Xiao didn't force anything and changed the subject: "I'm hungry. Let's pack up and go have a supper. It's your treat."
Jolina: “!??”
Corridor outside the lounge.
Sigrid and Chu Yun are like two door gods, standing on the left and right sides of the gate.
The little secretary turned around and looked back from time to time. Chu Yun had his arms crossed and a cigarette in his mouth.
"I said, why do we have to stay here and eat dog food?" Sigrid said aggrievedly.
"Because it's worth it."
Chu Yun took a deep breath, and the smile of the former captain seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
"Everything before the end may be meaningless... but at least the feelings between people are real." Chu Yun said.
"You talk like a philosopher sometimes, Raven." Sigrid winked.
"It's because of Lin Xiao's influence that he became more of a middle-aged man." Chu Yun crushed the cigarette butt and said nonchalantly, "Go back and continue investigating the skeletons and evil gods."
"Oh... the break is over." Sigrid stretched, "Work, work!"
…
According to the agreement, two days later is the day to set off to visit Jolina's father.
As a card master in the quasi-sacred realm, Jolina needed two days to recover from her injuries.
The World Championship is still going on.
As expected, Augustus defeated a strong enemy and advanced, and the showdown between Jiang Shang and Brahma Chatian was about to begin.
Although Jiang Shang has always behaved like an old fisherman, as the former strongest man in Zhongzhou, he has a record of defeating many "unparalleled national warriors".
In Lin Xiao's view, although Brahma Chatian possesses the legendary card 'Asura', his background is still far behind Jiang Shang's.
Lin Xiao also got in touch with True Lord Jinlong.
After being separated from Yinglong, Jinlong Zhenjun successfully lived an ordinary life.
However, he still has the highest level of search authority in the Central Continent Alliance, and he can always find some strange knowledge on the Internet.
In the chat group, Jin Long Zhenjun is unique in terms of his profound knowledge.
In the past few days, the discussion on the Internet about the love affair of the epee man has become more and more heated, making the gossip souls of the group members also burning brightly.
After being posted by @大剑人 and receiving his personal acknowledgment, a series of "lemon" emoticons appeared in the chat group.
Red Panda: "Today's dog food +1"
Xue Yin Dao: "Please stop posting it. When you post something like this to show off, my heart hurts like a knife (crying*3)"
Du Jingang: “@雪雨刀, don’t go crazy here.”
Ghost Bride: "(Licking Lemon)·Jpg"
"Strange, why haven't I seen the Ghost Bride being violent these days?" The red panda suddenly noticed and said, "I'm not used to it."
Xue Yin Dao laughed and said: "I know, I want to change my life and get married!"
The Ghost Bride sent a voice message.
Lin Xiao glanced at the screen and clicked on the voice function. Her words were beautiful and her voice was moving.
"Xue Yin Dao, I (beep) you (beep)#@!"
Lin Xiao coughed dryly.
The telegraph operator in the chat group belongs to Yes.
After joining the group and chatting with Jinlong Zhenjun about the current situation, Lin Xiao logged off.
Pack your bags and prepare to go to the Federation with Jolina tomorrow.
Night falls.
Brilliant fireworks rose outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the luxury hotel, symbolizing the opening of tonight's game.
The two sides facing off tonight are Jiang Shang and Fanshatian, and the final four spots will be determined.
Because he had to rush to the Federation tomorrow, Lin Xiao did not go to watch the game on site and chose to stay in the hotel to watch the live projection.
Dafu climbed ashore from the swimming pool on the balcony, his beard was wet, and his little eyes looked up at the sky, reflecting the beautiful fireworks.
The doorbell rang in the hotel room.
Lin Xiao opened the door and saw Qiao Linna standing at the door with her left arm in her right hand.
"Don't be late tomorrow." Jolina said.
"I will never forget such an important thing." Lin Xiao took a step back and said, "Come in and talk about it."
Jolina hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Excuse me."
She passed by Lin Xiao, her high ponytail twitching slightly.
Lin Xiao looked at her back and said, "How is your injury?"
"It's no longer a serious problem..."
As if remembering the scene in the lounge that day, Jolina paused and said softly: "Thank you."
"Don't be so polite to me." Lin Xiao opened the refrigerator door and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"
"No need..." Jolina sat on the sofa, looking a little embarrassed, "I'll leave in a while."
Lin Xiao took a bottle of mineral water, sat down next to Qiao Linna, looked at the projection screen, and said: "I guess you don't need to bandage your wounds anymore, right?"
"No, I will bandage it myself." Jolina said.
Lin Xiao said "Oh" and said, "That's good."
Accompanied by the passionate and loud commentary on the projection screen, the two of them tacitly agreed not to speak, and a quiet and harmonious atmosphere enveloped them.
"The game has begun." Lin Xiao suddenly said.
"Hmm." Qiao Linna looked at Lin Xiao's profile, "Who do you think will win?"
Lin Xiao stared at Brahma Chatian and Jiang Shang who appeared on the screen and murmured:
"It should be Jiang Shang. I have quite a lot of confidence in him."
"That's right." Jolina agreed softly.
Lin Xiao turned around and said, "Why do you keep looking at me?"
"Sometimes I think... you might have a hard time." Jolina paused and said slowly: "As the strongest card master, I bear... the biggest responsibility."
"No. This is not hard." Lin Xiao's eyes flickered and she said seriously: "I told you, I decided to fight against the doomsday, not for others, but for myself..."
Before she finished speaking, Qiao Linna put her cold hands on Lin Xiao's temples and smiled softly: "Okay, I understand."
Lin Xiao was a little dizzy, and followed Qiao Linna's movements, lying on her lap.
"I don't like others to act coquettishly, but..." Jolina pretended to be a sheep and said calmly: "You are special."
"Special... important." Qiao Linna said.
The fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose, and Lin Xiao's stiff shoulders gradually relaxed, resting on Qiao Linna's legs, staring at the projection screen, and whispered:
"Sometimes like this...it seems pretty good."
Lin Xiao felt a hand gently stroking her hair, and Qiao Linna's calm voice came: "Occasionally... you can also rely on me."
"Can't we always do it?" Lin Xiao greedily inhaled the fragrance of Qiao Linna.
"No." Qiao Linna looked at Lin Xiao: "Because you are also special to this world."
Lin Xiao smiled hoarsely: "You really think highly of me."
"The knight embarks on a journey not to save the princess." Jolina said, "But if the knight falls, the princess will pick up his sword and become a new knight."
"What a willful princess." Lin Xiao said.
"At least you are with me...Lin Xiao, I..."
Like a kitten that lets down its guard, Qiao Linna approaches Lin Xiao step by step, but as soon as he feels the slightest bit unhappy, she will turn around and run away, like an oyster opening its shell in warm sea water, revealing the softness inside, exposing herself to prey.
the gaze of the person.
She said in a very soft voice: "I like you."
Jolina was suddenly hugged tightly.
On the projection screen, the commentator congratulated Jiang Shang on his successful promotion, and the sound of fireworks rose outside the hotel.
Lin Xiao hugged the girl's soft body and felt her head resting on his shoulder, her body trembling slightly as if she was afraid.
What is she afraid of?
Are you afraid that I will leave her alone and leave her behind? Are you afraid that I will walk too fast and cannot keep up with my pace? Or are you afraid that the end of the world will eventually come?
Or maybe, in fact, these are not important. The warmth that is within reach is more real than the illusory fear.
Lin Xiao just hugged her arms tighter and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Tomorrow, I will return to the Federation with you."
The room was dark, with two figures leaning closely together on the sofa, and only the projection screen emitting fluorescent light.
