"What's wrong... Instructor?" Keke rubbed her eyes, pretending to be confused.
"You're awake! Do you feel unwell anywhere?" Qin Gucheng asked hurriedly upon seeing Keke awake.
"No, I'm fine. By the way, instructor, why am I in the infirmary?" Keke looked around at her surroundings, a hint of confusion on her face.
Qin Gucheng sighed with some guilt, "You fainted just as we were about to start training, and then I carried you in."
I'm sorry I didn't notice your problem immediately.
"Ah! It's alright, it's alright, it's not your fault, instructor!" Keke hurriedly waved her hand, feeling a little more guilty at the same time.
"Hmm." Qin Gucheng nodded slightly. "The medical staff said it's because you haven't rested well. How about this, I'll give you an IV of glucose so you can get some rest."
After saying that, Qin Gucheng prepared to take a cotton swab and disinfect Keke's little hands.
"No need, no need!" Keke quickly withdrew her hand in fright. "I just feel a little dizzy, nothing else. I'll be fine after resting for a while."
Seeing this, Qin Gucheng nodded thoughtfully, stood up, and put the glucose he was holding back.
Keke breathed a sigh of relief.
But then Qin Gucheng brought over a bag of saline solution, saying, "You probably have heatstroke, give me some saline solution."
Keke's heart jumped again.
"No!" Just as Qin Gucheng was about to insert the needle, Keke suddenly shouted, and Qin Gucheng's hand stopped in mid-air.
"What's wrong?" Qin Gucheng looked at Keke with a puzzled expression.
Keke also noticed what had just happened; her cheeks visibly flushed, and her eyes darted around.
"Um, um, this... um, oh right, the instructor just said that if something happens to me, there will be one more person in this world you've wronged. What does that mean?" Keke quickly changed the subject.
Qin Gucheng was somewhat surprised, "Weren't you unconscious at the time? How did you hear that?"
"Uh, I was almost awake then, and I only vaguely heard it," Keke replied indistinctly.
Fortunately, Qin Gucheng believed it without much thought.
He put down the syringe, sat on the bench, lowered his head, and looked downcast, as if recalling something painful.
"Because... there's someone I've wronged no matter what." His words seemed to be conveyed through sorrow, not through sound.
Keke looked at Qin Gucheng and seemed to realize something. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Qin Gucheng shake his head.
"There's no point in saying all this. I'm not going to say anything more. You should rest by yourself." After saying that, he left without looking back, as if he didn't want Keke to see him on the verge of tears.
Seeing the instructor leave, Keke had no choice but to lie down on the hospital bed.
Although I wasn't actually pricked with a needle, I still felt quite uncomfortable; it was probably a feeling of guilt.
Not only did she deceive the instructor, making a wasted trip and bringing herself here, but she also stirred up painful memories for him.
Keke buried her head in the blanket, feeling increasingly inhuman, and decided to stop thinking about it and go to sleep.
As autumn arrives, falling leaves turn the earth golden, and time seems to fly by as quietly as the leaves on the trees.
Keke collapsed wearily onto the bed. After months of sun exposure, her skin had changed from snow-white to a slightly healthy wheat-yellow.
He looked much more energetic and healthier than when he first came in.
In contrast, Hela has hardly changed at all; she looks exactly the same as when she came in.
If I had to pinpoint any change, it would be that my eyes aren't as dull anymore.
" Hela... could you help me take off my clothes? My whole body aches..." Keke, lying on the bed like a salted fish, pleaded with Hela, who had just finished showering and was getting ready for bed.
Hela, with her long, slightly damp hair, wearing a camouflage short-sleeved shirt and shorts, possessed a unique kind of beauty.
Seeing that Keke was asking for help again, he went up to help her take off her clothes without any hesitation.
" Hela, Hera! I'll wash your clothes for you again tomorrow." After saying that, Hela took off Keke's coat and thoughtfully covered her with a blanket.
After doing all this, Hela returned to her bed, lay down, covered herself with the blanket, turned off the light, and prepared to sleep.
Goodnight, Hela ~
"Good night."
After saying that, Keke closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Hela closed her eyes, preparing to spend the night in a daze.
After closing her eyes and spacing out for about an hour, Hela suddenly smelled a strange odor wafting into the room.
After smelling this odor, Hela felt something was off about her brain, as if its activity had decreased.
However, this situation lasted for less than half a minute before Hela's brain cells fully adapted and regained their activity.
Then Hela saw the dormitory door slowly open, and two female instructors wearing masks tiptoed in, like thieves.
After they came in, they first checked on Keke's condition. Seeing that she seemed to be fast asleep, they slowly dressed her, then gently lifted her up and placed her on a support frame to walk her.
Shortly after they carried her away, a female instructor came to check on Hela's condition.
Hela: ⚆_⚆
The female instructor stared in disbelief at Hela, whose eyes were wide open.
For a moment, they stared at each other blankly, the atmosphere incredibly awkward.
After a while, another female instructor came over. Seeing that the other woman was in a daze, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice,
"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and go..." He stopped mid-sentence, noticing Hela's wide-open eyes.
The air fell silent once more.
At this moment, Hela's mind was filled with nothing but questions; she really couldn't figure out what these instructors were planning to do.
So he prepared to ask.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, the two instructors simultaneously made a gesturing motion, signaling Hela to shut up.
Hela obediently shut her mouth.
One of the instructors spoke up, "Um, we're about to conduct special training for you. Although I don't know why you weren't drugged, please cooperate."
After saying that, he reached into his pocket, but found nothing.
After a moment's thought, he took off his mask and placed it over Hela's eyes.
"Just pretend you're still asleep, don't resist." After saying that, he dressed Hela, lifted her down onto the support frame, and then carried her away.
After being carried away, Hela felt as if she had been placed in one place for a while before being carried away again.
This time, it seemed like she was being carried into a vehicle. Hela could sense that besides herself, there were other people around her, all of them new recruits.
Hela could tell from the sound that the car seemed to have started, followed by a slightly bumpy ride.
It took nearly five hours to finally stop.
