Chapter 18

A loyal admirer is safer than a loyal subordinate.

This sentence is really true. Loyalty for justice and morality is thin at some point, but out of love loyalty, they often have the tendency to sacrifice at all costs, especially the love of this admirer lasted for seven years.

Riceon knew this truth well, so he mentioned this in his report.

His approach is understandable because the person he is loyal to is Ke Xiu, and whether it will cause harm to Ye Xuan is not within his consideration.

And what about Ke Xiu?

Has he considered it?

Ye Xuan thought that there should be no.

This is obvious. At that time, Ke Xiu didn't know Ye Xuan at all. In Ke Xiu's eyes, this secret lover who suddenly appeared was just an unimpressed stranger.

Although he is about to become his adjutant, the relationship between the two has ended here.

Ke Xiu once said that he is not a noble person.

In an extremely important plan, such a small method is adopted, let alone Ke Xiu, even Ye Xuan will adopt Rice's suggestions.

Moreover, this information would not have been seen by Ye Xuan.

The situation where she needed to sacrifice herself did not occur, and she would naturally be kept in the dark without knowingly and continue to live like this happily.

After all, I'm still having too much trouble.Ye Xuan looked at Ke Xiu, and there was no sarcasm in her voice. Instead, she said calmly, being a fool, she smiled, isn't it good?

I... Ke Xiu was stunned for a rare moment. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to speak.

This report was handed over to him by Riceon more than half a year ago, and he didn't care at that time.

As Ye Xuan thought, although Ke Xiu planned to transfer her to her as her adjutant, for General Ke, Ye Xuan was just a pawn in the plan.

As for whether this piece has been in love with him for seven years, he doesn't care at all.

Ye Xuan did not have any love for him, so he would still let Ye Xuan be his adjutant.

This unrelated feeling was just a very tiny weight added to his decision.

But this cannot be denied. He did agree with Rice's suggestion at that time.

Ha... Ye Xuan's smile became even bigger. The room was so dark. Only those eyes that seemed to be filled with water were shining in the dark.

She cried?

It seemed that an invisible big hand tightly grabbed Ke Xiu's heart. It had never been like this. He had never experienced such a feeling of pain, anxiety, or urgency. He seemed to be strangled. At the moment he realized that he had hurt Ye Xuan's heart, he was almost in pain and could not breathe.

But Ye Xuan didn't cry.

Don't cry, she warned herself over and over again.

When she saw that passage, her mind went blank.

What followed was anger that made people tremble all over. It was not that they felt that they had been used and betrayed, but that the girl's thoughts were nakedly placed in front of the person she thought about. All her overestimation and all her delusions were dug out of the world that belonged only to her, and were exposed to the gaze of scrutiny and judgment.

It was like a person was stripped naked and exposed in broad daylight.

She didn't know what the meaning of that vision implied, and she didn't even dare to think about it.

When Ke Xiu saw this information, he smiled slightly without any concern and threw this little thing behind him in a blink of an eye?

Or do you think it's funny, overestimating your ability for such a stranger?

I even felt disgusted because being secretly loved by a natural person from a slum is not something that a purely blood nobleman is worthy of boasting.

Ye Xuan knew that Ke Xiu would not look at her like this now.

Even when they were completely unfamiliar with them, it was not his fault that Ke Xiu had viewed his relationship with a malicious look.

She didn't want to be angry, and she didn't want to accuse Ke Xiu of ridiculous self-esteem, but the shame and disappointment that surged in the tide wrapped around her. Ye Xuan thought that she still didn't change.

Even though she had grown up, even though she had wealth and status, now that this secret thought was exposed, she suddenly realized that she was still the pale and thin little girl.

Sorry, I was overreacting.In the end, Ye Xuan said nothing, but just bowed to Ke Xiu with a calm expression, turned around and walked out.

After leaving Ke Xiu's official residence, Ye Xuan wandered aimlessly.

She didn't know where she was going, and there was only one thought in her mind, to leave there and leave the place that suffocated her.

She was full of annoyance and messed up herself... She originally wanted to confess to Ke Xiu, but now she can't say anything.

While looking around in a daze, the communicator in my pocket rang.

She pressed the answer button almost the first moment. Is it Ke Xiu?

Could it be him?

A sweet but emotional AI voice came from the receiver: Miss Ye, your physical examination results have come out, please come and collect them as soon as possible.Ye Xuan then remembered that she had a full-body examination the day after returning to the solar system. She was afraid that Dali Tree would cause harm to the body, and that was... the possibility of pregnancy.

She smiled bitterly and pulled the corner of her mouth, and casually called a public airship and flew towards the hospital.

What made Ye Xuan feel strange was that it was not the medical AI who was responsible for receiving her, but a kind-looking female doctor.

The female doctor seemed a little hesitant. She looked behind Ye Xuan first, and then asked softly: Dear, are you the only ones here?Where is your family?

Ye Xuan instinctively felt that something was wrong: Doctor, it was my examination result...what went wrong?

Oh, no... The female doctor probably wanted to say that it was not a big problem, but she paused and took out a light screen and handed it to Ye Xuan. Maybe you can take a look at it yourself.

The dense texts are all medical professional terms. Ye Xuan did not look closely. The ominous premonition was getting heavier and he had to send a doctor to handle small matters such as examination reports. The doctor's behavior was so strange that his fingers were sliding faster and faster. It seemed that it had been a long time, and it seemed that only a few seconds later. Ye Xuan's fingertips stopped at the end of the examination report. Her eyes suddenly bumped into a row of shocking words. The patient suffered severe organ failure, and the reason was not yet clear.

Organ... She stared at the female doctor opposite and repeated it in a daze. Organ failure?

The female doctor held Ye Xuan's hand with compassion: Dear, this is not the final result. We recommend that you go to a larger hospital for a follow-up examination. Perhaps... she didn't continue because Ye Xuan shook her head.

There will be no mistake in the result, Ye Xuan knows that it is those beautiful trees.

As for the Dali tree, it should only affect the adjuster, but this situation occurs without warning, and the hospital will definitely not know the reason.

How long is it left?Her head was messy and she didn't know what she was thinking. She just asked based on her instinct, how long did I... have left?

If, the female doctor hesitated for a while, she replied that if the treatment is done properly, there will be six months left.

Half a year... Ye Xuan stood up. She couldn't see the expression on her face. She only knew that the female doctor looked at her worriedly, as if she was looking at a pale-faced walking corpse.

thank you.She nodded to the female doctor and staggered out.

Outside the hospital is a lively world of flowers, and it looks like two completely different spaces from the quiet hospital.

Where are you going now?

Ye Xuan was standing by the roadside. She didn't know where she was going or where she could go.

She has no father or mother, because of the special nature of her work, she has no friends.

Just as she saw the lines, the man's face immediately flashed through her mind.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan thought, but fortunately she didn't confess to Ke Xiu.

For someone who is optimistic that he can live for half a year, why should he ask for something like love?

Ke Xiu once told her that those scientific researchers with organ failure died one after another after a long period of treatment, which is also the reason why the military has not been able to restart the Doplocin Titanol research project.

Ye Xuan no longer wants to explore why she, as a natural person, can also experience organ failure.

There is no sadness or resentment in her heart, only one kind of feeling, similar to powerlessness, she is really tired.

She has always been fearless, brave, and as if she wanted to do everything she wanted to live. She really... couldn't work harder.

Unpredictable, tears just flowed down like this.

Then, one hand held her wrist.

Ye Xuan turned her head, and in her eyes blurred by tears, she couldn't see the expression on Ke Xiu's face clearly, only those golden brown eyes, clear and calm.

I guess you should have gotten the results of the physical examination.The man's voice was still cold, neither angry about the quarrel that had just passed, nor confused about the tears on Ye Xuan's face.

No, Ye Xuan replied subconsciously, she didn't want Ke Xiu to know that she was in short order, and I don't know what you were talking about.

You should be clear that lies are useless in front of me.Seeing that Ye Xuan wanted to shake her hand away, Ke Xiu immediately held her wrist tighter. He looked at Ye Xuan with no unnecessary expression on his face, and your organs began to fail.

His performance instantly hurt Ye Xuan, so what?Ye Xuan's voice unknowingly raised, and even brought some sarcastic expressions. What do you want to express?When I was officially notified, she paused, and the choking in her voice could no longer be concealed. I am about to die?!

This sentence is like a signal, and big tears fall, faster and more.

At first, it was sobbing, but gradually it turned into a weeping on the verge of collapse.

Ye Xuan could hardly stand. She supported her body in a shaky manner and ordered herself to stop, but she could not stop crying no matter what.

Since the age of fourteen, Ye Xuan has never cried like this again.

She has always been a strong person. No matter she is tired, painful, or even facing death, she tries not to show her weakness in front of others.

But she no longer wants to hold on.

Ke Xiu said nothing, and he stretched out his hand and hugged Ye Xuan in his arms.

The woman in her arms suddenly cried even louder. Ke Xiu did not comfort her, but let her cry as if she was cathartic, pouring out all the fatigue and grievances of so many years.

Cry, cry... Ke Xiu knew this feeling, because no one could rely on, so he had to arm himself into the strongest appearance.

And now, he is willing to be the one who can make her cry with all her heart.

You won't die.He said in Ye Xuan's ear, his voice was dull and affirmative. There was nothing in this world that I couldn't do. The only difference was whether I was willing to do it.

For some reason, Ye Xuan burst out laughing. She still had tears in her eyes and choked and said in a low voice: The comforting tone of the nobles is really annoying.

I'm not comforting you, I'm just stating the facts.Ke Xiu lowered his eyes and looked down at Ye Xuan. Do you think my tone is annoying, but what about me?Seeing that Ye Xuan raised her face in confusion, he felt that his heart seemed to be beating faster.

He paused and tried to ask in a more plain tone, "Do I hate you?"

Ye Xuan didn't say anything, she just looked at Ke Xiu, and her little face covered with tears looked very embarrassed.

She was silent, and for a long time, Ke Xiu's eyes finally showed unconcealed uneasy. She buried her face deeper into Ke Xiu's arms, hugged the man's waist with both hands, and muttered in a low voice: Humph, hate.
