Unexpected Healer

Guan Jin's reaction completely stunned Ye Xing. She stepped forward, only to see the young man in front of her shedding tears non - stop.

Ye Xing: … I made him cry.

She actually made him cry?!

"Stay calm. Please, please don't do anything bad to yourself," Guan Jin's shoulders heaved as he sobbed, and he could hardly speak coherently.

Ye Xing fell into an eerie silence.

She patted Guan Jin on the shoulder. "Stop crying." Guan Jin sniffed, but the tears still kept falling.

Ye Xing got a bit annoyed. She didn't seem to say anything wrong, right? It was just...

Looking at the guy who was crying so badly, Ye Xing sighed and said, "Of course I won't do anything stupid. I was just scaring you because you wouldn't listen to me and put me down."

Hearing this, Guan Jin looked up. "Really?" "Really."

Then, Guan Jin showed a happy smile on his face. He wiped away his tears and reached out his hand to Ye Xing.

"What are you doing!" Ye Xing jumped back defensively.

This guy wouldn't try to carry her out again, would he? No way! Absolutely not! "I'm taking you out. Your condition can't be delayed any longer," Guan Jin said seriously. Ye Xing's face darkened. "You're saying I'm sick?"

Guan Jin quickly shook his head. "No, you've just suffered a spiritual injury. You're not sick, but it's better to let a psychologist take a look."

"No, I haven't suffered any spiritual injury. I'm not going!"

Ye Xing grabbed the stick and ran into the depths of the jungle. Guan Jin rushed after her.

"Brother, please, just let me go!" Ye Xing gasped as she ran. Finally, she couldn't hold on anymore and stopped, propping herself up with the stick to catch her breath. Guan Jin was right behind her. Seeing her stop, he wanted to pick her up and run again.

"The stick doesn't have eyes! If you come any closer and I hit you, I won't be responsible!"

"I'm taking you out," Guan Jin was extremely stubborn.

Ye Xing felt like kneeling down to him. "Can you stop being so persistent?"

Guan Jin honestly shook his head.

Ye Xing: … (fuck you)

The two of them stood there, staring each other down. Suddenly, Ye Xing's stomach growled.

She blushed and immediately lowered her head to rub her stomach.

There was nothing she could do. Food was scarce in the apocalypse. On the day she was transported here, she had only eaten half a pack of compressed biscuits. And after fighting monsters and chasing people just now, the little food in her stomach had long been digested.

Guan Jin's eyes widened slightly. "Are you hungry?"

"Isn't it obvious enough?"

Guan Jin quickly took out three mini - sized green tube - shaped nutrient solutions as thin as his middle finger from his waist bag. "Here, take these and drink them quickly."

Ye Xing hesitantly took them and opened one of the tubes. A faint fragrance wafted around her nose. Her throat twitched, and then she downed it in one gulp.

Surprisingly, although the liquid looked strange in color, it actually tasted quite good, with a faint, indescribable sweetness. As the nutrient solution flowed down her throat, Ye Xing felt a warm current spread from her stomach to all parts of her body. Her eyes lit up slightly. "This is a great thing."

But Guan Jin looked at her with full of pity in his eyes.

In the entire interstellar world, planets are classified into four levels: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D. The technological and economic development of planets at different levels varies. Class A planets are the most developed, while Class D planets are the least. Class D planets are often collectively referred to as garbage stars because there are too many of them and resources are scarce, so almost no one lives on them.

Now, the planet he was on was called Planet Randall, a Class B planet. Although the overall development of this planet was not as good as that of Class A planets, most of the people on this planet were either rich or noble.

So, Guan Jin, who had grown up in a wealthy family, had never met anyone on Planet Randall who was so hungry that their stomach growled. So when he suddenly heard that sound, he was stunned for a few seconds.

When he saw Ye Xing showing a satisfied expression after drinking the tube of nutrient solution, he couldn't help but feel sad. "Why are you so hungry? Have you been here for many days?" Guan Jin asked with a pained look on his face.

Ye Xing rubbed her stomach and said indifferently, "I've been on a diet recently, so I've eaten less."

She couldn't tell him that she wasn't from this world and had just been transported here from the apocalypse.

Ye Xing returned the other two tubes of nutrient solution to Guan Jin, but he refused to take them. "Drink two more tubes. I only brought three tubes of nutrient solution for this test. Once we get out, you can have more."

Ye Xing's hand holding the nutrient solution trembled. This guy was trying to send her to the patrol team all the time. Just as she was about to put the two tubes of nutrient solution away, an idea suddenly popped into her head.

She expressionlessly stuffed the nutrient solution into Guan Jin's hands, threw away the stick, and said, "Anyway, some people never consider my feelings when doing things. Why should I drink this nutrient solution? I might as well starve myself to death."

Guan Jin was completely stunned by her sudden change of attitude and stammered, "Who, who treated you like this?"

"…"

Ye Xing glanced at him. When she saw the genuine confusion in Guan Jin's eyes, she was sure that this guy was really stupid. So she didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Do you still want to take me to the patrol team now?" Guan Jin silently tucked his eager hands behind his back and tried to persuade her earnestly, "You'll be safest with the patrol team."

"But have you ever thought that I'll be very sad if you hand me over to the patrol team against my will?"

Only then did Guan Jin realize that the "someone" Ye Xing mentioned in her previous sentence was him.

"I..."

Ye Xing interrupted him, "I'm the kind of person who can't eat when I'm sad and in a bad mood. If I can't eat, I'll be hungry. When I'm hungry, I'll feel terrible. And when I feel terrible, I still won't want to eat. Then my mood will get even worse. It's a never - ending cycle, and eventually, I'll starve to death!"

Guan Jin's eyes widened, and he took a pale - faced step back.

Ye Xing: … She never thought this guy would actually believe her. "Ye Xing..." Guan Jin's face was as white as a sheet, and it seemed that tears were about to well up in his eyes. Ye Xing quickly stopped him.

"Don't cry! If you dare to cry, I'll be in a bad mood right now and vomit up all the nutrient solution I just drank!" Ye Xing glared at him. Guan Jin silently held back the tears in his eyes and said hoarsely, "You're a healer. You must take good care of your body." "If you don't hand me over to the patrol team and don't tell anyone else my identity, I'll promise to take good care of myself. Otherwise, I'll starve myself to death," Ye Xing threatened him boldly, even though she felt she was really bullying this honest guy.

Now, the honest Guan Jin was having a fierce mental struggle over whether to send Ye Xing to the patrol team outside. On one hand, he thought he should follow his original intention of protecting every healer and let Ye Xing get more comprehensive protection and care, so he should send her to the patrol team. On the other hand, he worried that if he really sent Ye Xing to the patrol team, she would be in a bad mood and couldn't eat as she said just now. If something bad happened to her because of hunger, wouldn't he be the biggest sinner?

He clearly wanted to protect the healer in front of him, but neither of the two methods seemed very reliable at the moment. So what should he do? Send her to the patrol team and watch her waste away day by day? Or help her hide her identity and let one of the future hopes of the Federation stay out in the open, where she might be in danger at any time?

Guan Jin felt he couldn't accept either option.

If anything happened to Ye Xing because of his choice today, he would never forgive himself in his life.

Seeing him so torn, Ye Xing thought she couldn't push him too hard. So she said, "I'm just always surrounded by people, and I feel so bored. That's why I want to do something different to relax, like this pre - mech individual soldier training. I think it's great! It suits me very well!"

Hearing this, Guan Jin glanced at her. Ye Xing quickly suppressed her suddenly excited thoughts. She stretched out her arm, which was so thin that it was almost just skin and bones, in front of Guan Jin. "Look, I'm so thin now because I'm always surrounded by people who tell me I can't do this and can't do that. It makes me feel so down every day that I have no appetite, and that's why I'm like this now."

Guan Jin looked at her thin arm and began to waver.

Ye Xing pressed on, "So, seeing me like this, you won't really have the heart to let me continue suffering, will you?"

Finally, Guan Jin gave in.

He promised Ye Xing that he wouldn't tell anyone else her identity, and he also promised not to mention sending her to the patrol team again. He was dragged by Ye Xing to hunt star - beasts around, saying they would complete this test together.

"Buell College also has a Mech Materials Architecture Department. If you really want to change your lifestyle, I think it's better to..." After much hesitation, Guan Jin finally spoke.

Ye Xing directly interrupted him, "I don't care what you think. I only care about what I think. The Mech Individual Soldier Department is great, and I really like it." Guan Jin watched as the healer, who was supposed to be weak and delicate, happily dragged two star - beast corpses around. He himself was dragging four behind her and quickly following. He couldn't describe the complexity in his heart.

The standard for the freshman entrance test of the Mech Individual Soldier Department at Buell College was that each student had to hunt at least three star - beasts of no lower than Class B and submit them to the review office stationed at the exit to get the admission qualification.

At first, Guan Jin planned to get the first place in this test. So as soon as he entered the test field, he headed straight for the depths of the jungle and directly confronted a mid - level Class A star - beast. The star - beast corpse that Ye Xing saw at the beginning was hunted by Guan Jin alone. Now, after the two of them returned and dragged the star - beast corpses they had previously killed, they had also hunted four more. Guan Jin planned to take Ye Xing to the review office to submit them.

He gave the star - beast corpse of the highest level that he had hunted at the beginning to Ye Xing. When the latter refused, he said seriously, "This entrance test will also be ranked. It involves the dormitory allocation and mech allocation after the start of school. I've already promised to help you hide your identity, but I can't be by your side all the time at school.

So for the mech selection after enrollment, you must get one of the best ones." Ye Xing was so touched by Guan Jin's brotherly kindness that she was speechless. She could only let go of the tail of a star - beast she was dragging and patted Guan Jin on the shoulder. "Good brother, I'll always remember your great kindness." Guan Jin's face suddenly fell.

Ye Xing held back her laughter and dragged the star - beast corpses to line up at the review office.

People around saw the Class A star - beast she was dragging and couldn't help but cast their eyes on her.

"How did she, such a thin girl, manage to hunt a Class A star - beast?"

"She must have cheated. It obviously doesn't look like she killed it."

"I think it was the guy behind her who killed it. Didn't you see that handsome guy behind her can't take his eyes off her?"

Hearing this gossip, Ye Xing couldn't help but look back at Guan Jin, who quickly averted his gaze. He was just worried that the little healer in front couldn't bear the weight of the three star - beasts. What on earth were these people talking nonsense about! Didn't they know that spreading rumors and slandering healers in the Federation's laws would result in a prison sentence of more than two years! The queue in front of the submission area gradually shortened, and soon it was Ye Xing's turn.

Ye Xing handed over the three star - beasts in her hand.

"Look here. Your iris pattern needs to be recorded."

Ye Xing slowly approached a rectangular instrument as the tutor at the review office instructed to record her iris pattern.

"Beep - Resident information not found!"
