922: 915 Chapter: Share Responsibility 922: 915 Chapter: Share Responsibility Leaving the tent, Luo’er ca alone to another tent where Baiyue was resting.
At this ti, Baiyue was still unconscious, with her forehead wound bandaged up.
Although she looked alright in the face, Luo’er was still very concerned about her safety.
He took a deep breath, carefully walked to Baiyue’s side, crouched down, and then gently grasped her small hand.
Luo’er could not forget that Baiyue was injured protecting him.
If she had not been in front of him just now, that tal puppet probably could have killed him in one move.
“I have already seen my future in the prophecy, why did you have to do this…” Luo’er didn’t know what to say, so he could only sigh deeply, place her hand on his own face, close his eyes, and bow his head in prayer.
He could feel Baiyue’s slightly delayed heartbeat from the back of her delicate hand, which comforted him sowhat.
Although Luo’er still didn’t know how bad her injuries were, since Tangmo had treated her, there probably wasn’t a big problem.
After all, in Otherworld, Healing Magic existed, a miraculous Magic that could speed up the healing of wounds, whether internal or lacerations.
Luo’er had been saved by it before.
Luo’er knelt beside Baiyue, bowing his head in silent ditation.
The Advance Team had many injured mbers at the mont; they could only rest here for a day before packing up and returning to Axia’s residence.
Before coming here, Luo’er had never imagined sothing like this would happen.
He originally thought they would only face cunning chanical traps, not expecting to encounter living robots that would beat them into disarray.
If it hadn’t been for the Snow God speaking for them, they probably would have been annihilated.
Thinking of this, Luo’er couldn’t help but feel emotional, his goodwill had not been consud by malice.
The Snow God had accepted his goodwill and also expressed its own; it seed that doing good deeds did indeed bring good returns.
Luo’er didn’t know how long he had watched over her when he suddenly heard a moan from the ground.
He quickly lowered his head and saw Baiyue slowly awakening.
“You’re awake, how do you feel?” Seeing Baiyue wake up, Luo’er was so excited that he nearly wept.
“No, it’s nothing…” Baiyue blinked, showing a confused expression.
Her mind was still a blank slate, so it took her quite a while to react.
“It’s good that you’re okay!” Luo’er exclaid excitedly, unable to resist pulling her small hand to his cheek, kissing the back of her hand emotionally.
“Eh…” Seeing Luo’er’s actions, Baiyue’s cheeks instantly reddened, and the blood rushing to her brain started to get her thinking again.
“Is, is everyone else okay?” Baiyue instinctively pulled her hand back a bit and then averted her gaze, her face flushed as she shyly changed the subject.
“Don’t worry, they’ve only got minor injuries.
I’m most concerned about you right now,” Luo’er said, staring intently at her.
“I, I’m fine too, you don’t need, don’t need to worry about …” Baiyue pursed her lips, feeling her tongue tie up as she spoke.
“Your complexion doesn’t look good, to be honest, I’m really worried about you.
You’ve suffered internal injuries.
Feel carefully and see if there’s any discomfort, you must tell , okay?” Luo’er said, frowning in concern, and couldn’t help but reach out to Baiyue’s chest.
“Ah!” As Luo’er moved, Baiyue shuddered like a startled rabbit, letting out a low cry.
“Ah, sorry, I just, I just wanted to check on your condition…” Luo’er said sowhat frantically, his hand hanging in mid-air, uncertain whether to move forward or back.
“No, it’s okay, if it’s you, I, I won’t mind…” Baiyue turned her face away, closing her eyes tightly.
The more she spoke, the weaker her voice beca until she was almost inaudible.
“It’s okay then…” Luo’er said, hanging his head low.
Suddenly, he heavily lowered his body, leaning over Baiyue, resting his head on her shoulder.
Baiyue could feel the warmth of Luo’er’s face close by; her body tensed up instantly, her cheeks flaring red as if they were about to cook.
“Luo, Luo’er…” Baiyue’s body stiffened as she uttered a whisper as soft as a mosquito’s, softly calling Luo’er’s na.
Luo’er didn’t speak.
After a while, Baiyue heard him inhale sharply, and it was then that she realized Luo’er was crying on her shoulder.
“Luo’er, I’m really okay now…” Baiyue didn’t dare to move, looking up at the tent’s ceiling and gently comforting.
“I know, I just…” Luo’er sniffed, making a sobbing sound.
“Tired?” Baiyue was taken aback, then blinked and asked.
“Mm…” Luo’er nodded his head, feeling aggrieved.
“Then cry, I won’t laugh at you,” Baiyue said with a reassuring smile, comforting him softly.
“Forget it, I, I think I’m okay now…” Luo’er said, conflicted.
“It’s okay, I know as the captain, you’ve been under a lot of pressure these days.
You’re human too; there’s no need to keep everything to yourself, pretending to be strong in front of everyone,” Baiyue comforted him gently.
“I, I really hate myself,” Luo’er could no longer hold back after hearing Baiyue’s words, and soon began to speak grievously, “It’s all my fault, all my problem.
So many accidents I should have anticipated.
It’s just that I was too greedy, too preoccupied with the gains and losses of each battle.
That’s why you all ended up like this.
If only I had been more cautious…
I really don’t want to see any of you get hurt; I truly wish I could take all the hurt for myself, to bear the mistakes I’ve made.”
“Luo’er, please don’t say such foolish things, okay?” Hearing Luo’er’s outpour, Baiyue imdiately furrowed her brow, her tone becoming reproachful.
“We are one body, everyone is willing to share the hurt that needs to be borne, not because you’re the captain, you should take on more responsibility.
Don’t take all the bla on yourself; this mission was very complicated, there were many unforeseen mistakes.
If we really start to bla, everyone has a responsibility, not just you…”
“Luo’er,” Baiyue beca angrier as she spoke, “I hate it most when you do this, taking all the bla onto yourself whenever there’s a problem, reflecting on your own faults whenever soone gets hurt.
Luo’er, the world doesn’t revolve around you.
You did so well in your political studies, why do you obsess over these issues?”
“I’m sorry…” Luo’er said in a low voice.
“Stop saying sorry!” Baiyue’s voice suddenly rose, startling Luo’er so much that he bolted upright and sat up, then tearfully stared at her.
Baiyue glanced at him in slight panic, then guiltily turned her face away, shifting her gaze.
After taking a deep breath, she pursed her lips slightly and said in a low voice, “Stop it, I don’t like hearing you say sorry, please stop…”
Luo’er looked at Baiyue, unable to say anything for a long while, just gaping wordlessly.
Eventually, he swallowed and then, biting his lip, said, “I…
I will reflect on this mission…”
After being told not to apologize anymore, Luo’er found he had nothing to say.
“I…
you rest well, maybe tomorrow we’ll head back…” After struggling for a while, Luo’er managed to utter this sentence.
Then he stood up from the ground, then looked down at Baiyue and said, “I’ll go first, call if you need anything…”
“Mm…” Baiyue looked away, not daring to et Luo’er’s gaze.
While the matter was indeed Luo’er’s problem, she sohow felt guilty and didn’t know how to continue talking to him.
Leaving the tent, Luo’er took a deep breath of cool air and exhaled heavily.
He had made up his mind: tomorrow he would leave this place and return to Axia’s residence to plan for the long term.
For him, the safety of the Advance Team mbers was the most important thing.
If even their safety couldn’t be guaranteed, then there was no point in talking about fulfilling the mission.
Luo’er admitted that the mission had been too rushed, so many things had not been properly handled.
However, after being reminded by Baiyue, he also felt that not all problems could be blad on himself.
After all, those two dangerous targets in the tomb objectively existed, and no matter how careful the Advance Team was, they couldn’t avoid those two dangers.
