Chapter 978: Chapter 24: Physicians Cannot Heal Themselves (6)
Thinking about it, I realized I couldn’t leave. If I stay here, I can help pull a few more patients out of the pit and infect a few more plant doctors whose conscience hasn’t yet been lost. If there’s so experintal accident, I can help think of a solution. But if I just leave, I’d just be a lecherous middle-aged uncle!
A lecherous uncle who keeps watching young girls’ chests and thighs while squatting by the roadside, such people don’t matter.
Gongsun Ce also sipped a can of cola and said seriously, “Not necessarily, young lechers are just like that too.”
Father Grey clinked his can with his, chuckling.
Sister Zhenfan ignored their banter. She was silent for a long ti and said dryly, “…I understand.”
“Understanding doesn’t need to an agreeing.” The priest’s voice was gentle, “Your life’s road is still long, take your ti. In this matter, there’s never a ‘right’ or ‘more right’, whatever you choose is the best.”
Zhenfan didn’t say another word after that. After discussing the serious matters, the three left the small chapel. When saying goodbye, Father Grey hesitated several tis but still ntioned the issue with the prosthetic accident. Gongsun Ce assured him he would focus on investigating it.
“He’s quite a good guy, right?” Seviss said.
Gongsun Ce nodded, “A good-hearted person.”
“In this world, good-hearted people have the hardest ti, while selfish people have it easy.” The blonde ranger counted her cash with delight as she pocketed her mission reward, “Pleasure working with you, handso! Co find if you need anything else!”
Ranger Seviss left happily. Zhenfan leaned against Gongsun Ce with a face full of anxiety.
“I’m so annoyed, Gongsun Ce.” She said in a low voice, “I’m so fed up. I’ve never had an obligation, I am…”
I was once a victim.
I personally experienced the hell caused by madness.
The unfinished words echoed in her heart, stabbing it like a needle. At this mont, Zhenfan felt as if she might collapse. Gongsun Ce proactively wrapped her in his embrace like a coat.
“Co recharge.”
Zhenfan nestled against his chest until strength returned to her body. She rested with closed eyes for a while, feeling the comforting warmth, and whispered, “Don’t get so close to … Your girlfriend will accuse you of cheating.”
“My romantic history has already been thoroughly exposed by them, and my girls know all about the nonsense I’ve told you in the past.” Gongsun Ce pretended to be bravely facing death, “What am I afraid of! At worst, I’ll go ho and eat dog food, kneel on a washboard, and let everyone use as a sandbag and carpet!”
Zhenfan couldn’t help but laugh, “I’ll explain for you.”
Gongsun Ce thought to himself, explain what? Explain that helping a sister with sunscreen and recharge was just sibling affection, who would believe that?
But this is how complicated relationships are… In those past lonely years without family and friends, the ones who could provide comfort were always fellow superpower users. They had long surpassed actual family and friends. At least Gongsun Ce still had real family who would co to see him in Skytopia during holidays, but the doctor from the Chikou project truly had nothing. Her social circle was tiny, with Mo Yuankai and Chi Zijing counted as acquaintances, Cecil as a superior. Truly, the ones who entered her heart in the past were Gongsun Ce, Kardesia, and the Kong Wang from back then.
If even that pestering little boy from back then distanced himself from Zhenfan, wouldn’t her loneliness be doubled? mories without regrets sound nice… But he hoped Sister Zhenfan could always be happy in reality beyond mories.

That concluded the first day of investigation, and Gongsun Ce took Zhenfan back to their accommodation. The crew of the Dawn Star had booked a small apartnt building this ti, and the girls were gathered in the living room doing their own things.
“Sorry, ladies, borrowed your boyfriend for the afternoon,” the doctor said after greeting.
“It’s not borrowing, it’s renting, and there’s a rental fee.” Shiyu Ling walked up to Gongsun Ce, extending her hand aggressively. Gongsun Ce handed over the packed burgers and raspberry cake, and the hunter imdiately bead with joy, going to share the night snack with everyone.
The doctor smiled subtly and went to rest first. Gongsun Ce sat on the sofa in the hall, just about to stretch his tired body, when his face turned pale. Qin Qianbai and Qiluo sat beside him on either side, pressing his shoulders like escorting a prisoner.
“Ah Ce, wasn’t it fun having a date with your non-blood-related foster sister and hugging?” Qin Qianbai asked coldly.
“Gongsun Ce, wasn’t flying in the sky with your non-blood-related foster sister very cool?” Qiluo smiled sweetly.
The girls pinched the flesh on his thighs simultaneously, and Gongsun Ce instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Shiyu Ling, while eating cake, humd a tune, feigning ignorance of a certain soone’s predicant.
“Oh, co on, can’t you give a chance!”
“Gongsun Ce wants a chance? Sure!” Qiluo fiercely scratched his neck, “Do you want to eat dog food, kneel on a washboard, or serve as sandbag and carpet?”
“…Can I be your sandbag and Qianbai’s carpet?”
Qin Qianbai rubbed her hands: “Tonight’s evening lesson is the recycling and reuse of the old carpet.”
“Ah! No, please!”
The Dawn Knight glanced at the pitiful scene, and lowered his head to feed Wawu.
Five minutes later, Gongsun Ce lay in the middle of the living room in a plank position, with the girls seated on his back and waist, sharing the packed burgers. The superpower user, unflustered and with a skin thicker than the city wall, asked, “How’s today’s investigation progress?”
