Mu Xiaoxiao did not believe him fully. âCome over and show me.â
He had on a black shirt, so she could not see any traces of blood. If she had not seen the blood on his hands earlier, she would not have noticed that he was bleeding.
Wait!
Could he have been lying to her?
Mu Xiaoxiao waved to him once more. âCome over. Let me see your wound.â
âThereâs nothing to see,â Jun Zeye rejected her once more, which made her even more suspicious.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him. With a stern face, she said, âYou were hit, right? Thatâs why youâre not letting me look at it.â
âNo,â Jun Zeye answered mildly.
âI donât believe you,â Mu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. âCome over and let me have a look. Iâll only believe you if I see it with my own eyes. Come over here!â
Jun Zeye pursed his lips. Unable to reject her, he walked over.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused before saying, âTake off your shirt. Let me see.â
Even though it was weird for a boy to take off his clothes in front of her, this was the only way she could ascertain if he had been shot.
Something seemed to pass over Jun Zeyeâs dark and cool eyes. After a few secondâs deliberation, he admitted, âAlright. I was shot.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. âYou were really shot?â
See, she had guessed it!
However, he looked too calm, no?
Why did he sound as indifferent as if he had only said âI ate too muchâ?
Jun Zeye pressed his left arm and said, âIt didnât hit me anywhere important, so it doesnât matter.â
It doesnât matter?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, stunned.
Jun Zeye pursed his lips. âThis is only a minor incident to me. Itâs not life-threatening, so you donât have to worry.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was silent.
So he meant getting shot was normal for him?
Oh yeah, wasnât he also injured the previous time?
Could that have been a gunshot wound as well?
Jun Zeye looked at the tears swimming in her eyes and sighed. He explained again, âIâm really fine. I still have to get you out of here, so I wonât let anything happen to myself.â
Mu Xiaoxiao observed that there was nothing off about his expression and decided to believe him a little.
Jun Zeye turned his back to her. He seemed to be modifying the things he collected earlier.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his back silently for a while.
Suddenly, she stood up and walked over.
Jun Zeye had no precaution against her and did not notice her approaching.
Untilâ¦
Without warning, Mu Xiaoxiao lifted his shirt off his back. He froze.
âYou lied to me!â Her voice trembled.
Jun Zeye sighed and turned around, wanting to say something.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at his back to confirm the birthmark again. It looked like a unilateral wing.
She was transported back to her childhood.
She had unwittingly found a birthmark on Ah Zeâs back. She had even joked that he must be an angel who fell from the sky and the proof of his angelic roots was in the unilateral wing birthmark.
Even after so many years, the memories were as clear as day to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was choking up and her eyes filled with tears.Soon, she could not hold them in and they fell.
âAh Ze⦠Youâre Ah Ze! Why did you lie to me and say that you arenât?â
Jun Zeye rearranged his clothes and looked at her meaningfully.
âAh Ze died long ago.â
