A Different Kind of Person

The Jun residence.

"Young master, what happened to you...?"

At the sight of the bloodstains all over Jun Jingyi, the steward turned pale with fright. Had he not been stopped, he would have reported it to the authorities immediately.

The master and madam had entrusted the young master to his care. Nothing could be allowed to happen to him!

Otherwise, how could he repay the kindness the Jun family had shown his family all these years?

"I'm fine... Go find a physician. Remember, keep it quiet. Don't let anyone else know."

Bent over and panting, Jun Jingyi waved a hand and looked helplessly at the young man on the bed.

His long hair was disheveled, and his face had a certain toughness to it.

Only now did Jun Jingyi see that his clothes were actually blue. Unfortunately, they were soaked through with blood and had turned a chilling black.

"So heavy!"

He rubbed his slender waist. This body was only sixteen years old!

After catching his breath and stretching, Jun Jingyi shook his head.

The injuries were too severe, and he had lost a little too much blood. He had better not die like this.

Since transmigrating to this world, Jun Jingyi had finally shown a little kindness and saved someone for once. It wouldn't do for him to die.

Then he looked down at his own body again, feeling depressed.

His proportions were excellent.

His skin was fair and smooth.

His hands were long and slender.

His face was handsome.

He was a handsome young master through and through, worthy of being called a beautiful young master, but... he was so weak.

After such a short distance...

He shook his head.

Jun Jingyi felt that he needed to change.

How could he be out of breath after walking just a few steps?

His current situation was extremely dangerous, after all. It would be bad if he ended up dying one day because of this.

To stay alive, every problem had to be eliminated, no matter how small.

The ordeal lasted until dawn.

He sent the physician away under an onslaught of silver.

Jun Jingyi watched the physician's retreating figure for a long time before giving up on the idea of killing him to silence him.

Kill someone because he had saved someone?

He shook his head and entered the room, looking at the young man who was still unconscious.

Jun Jingyi turned to leave.

But just then...

"Water, water..."

A weak, hoarse voice struggled to speak.

Jun Jingyi's eyes widened as he turned around, astonished. With injuries like those, this fellow had woken up so quickly?

It was also then that he noticed the man's appearance... Was he about the same age as him?

He hurriedly poured some water from the table nearby and handed it over.

"Cough, cough..."

The young man struggled upright and took a sip, then looked at Jun Jingyi and surveyed his surroundings.

But before he could say anything,

Jun Jingyi spoke up directly. "Brother, now that you're awake, I won't ask where you're from or what your name is. If you can walk, hurry up and leave."

"Uh..."

The young man stared blankly at his face, a little dazed.

Clearly, Jun Jingyi's attitude had taken him by surprise.

By rights...

If someone saved me at a time like this, shouldn't it be because they had their eye on my martial arts and wanted me to work for them?

Although he disliked relying on others, he had to repay the debt of having his life saved.

But he had never expected...

What's he after?

The young man couldn't understand. He knew how badly he had been hurt; saving him must have cost a great deal.

Not to mention the bloody state he had been in. Heaven knew how terrifying his enemies were. The risk...

And all that just to make him leave as soon as he woke up?

Wait, what is he after?

He blinked and stared blankly at Jun Jingyi. After a long while, the young man weakly lay back down on his own and said calmly, "My name is..."

"Stop. I don't want to know, so don't tell me!"

Beside him, Jun Jingyi immediately covered his ears.

Knowing his name meant knowing his identity, and knowing his identity meant he would surely learn about a whole heap of trouble...

He had only been struck by a moment of kindness. He could barely protect himself right now and really didn't want to invite any more trouble.

The young man: ...

He quietly watched Jun Jingyi for a long time, then sighed softly, closed his eyes, and said no more.

He felt that he might truly be unable to understand what his savior was thinking.

It was a little... bizarre!

"Phew!"

Only then did Jun Jingyi breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the young man, he said calmly, "Young hero, I don't know what your story is, and I don't want to know. I saved you today simply because I came across you and didn't want a living person to die right in front of me. That's all."

"But I don't want to bring trouble on myself because of this, either. So if you want to repay me, hurry up and leave once you've recovered. That would be the greatest repayment you could give me. Do you understand?"

The young man moved his chapped lips, fell silent for a moment, then nodded gently.

"Good, then. Rest here and focus on recovering. If you need anything, just tell me."

Jun Jingyi nodded, then turned and left.

The young man: ...

He closed his eyes, replaying Jun Jingyi's words in his mind.

The corners of his mouth lifted, and he smiled.

An innocent person?

A kindhearted person?

A person who shouldn't exist in this world!

A person completely different from this world!

This world was so filthy and ugly, full of greed and selfishness. Someone like that wouldn't live long.

He was certain of it!

He didn't know why such an oddity had appeared in a world like this.

It was as though he didn't belong in this world.

It was as though he had grown up in a peaceful, tranquil, happy, beautiful world.

So, in his heart, life deserved respect and should not be trampled underfoot like an ant.

That was why he had saved him...

What a laughable person!

The young man shook his head and slowly fell asleep.
