Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Cheng Yan, who was being scolded, sneezed violently, "Ah, A-choo!"

Sohelei looked at Cheng Yan with concern in her eyes, "Is it a bit cold here? Let's go out."

Cheng Yan shook his head. "It's okay. Aren't you going to collect some bugs?"

"The bottle is broken and I have nothing to put it in. Maybe next time. I collected some earlier and it's enough."

Cheng Yan turned his wrist, and a crystal clear small bottle appeared in his hand, which was a little more exquisite than the one Sohelei had just taken out.

"Use this. Consider it as compensation to you. Since you are here now, you can't make a wasted trip."

Sohelei looked at the rare golden glass bottle in front of her and said, "This bottle looks very precious. I'd better not use it. You can keep it."

She had heard the teacher introduce some glass products. Colorless ones were the most common, but those with unique colors were rare. The small bottle in front of her was even inlaid with gems...

Sohlei became more determined and waved her hand to refuse.

Cheng Yan didn't care about that. "Just take it, or you'll be mad at me for breaking your bottle."

A small bottle with the temperature of the person's palm was forced into her palm, and Sohlei's cheeks felt hot. She couldn't refuse.

Sohelei squatted down and used her eyes to look for the tiny crustacean. She looked at it seriously. Cheng Yan also squatted down and pointed to Sohelei from time to time to tell her which piece was bigger.

"There, there are several of them."

Following the boy's slender fingers, Sohelei aimed at the target. Just as the bottle mouth swallowed the insects, she suddenly felt a heat on her cheek, mixed with bursts of fishy smell, as if some animal was breathing towards her...

"Be careful!" Cheng Yan pulled Sohelei away and faced the long-haired tiger's bloody mouth dripping with saliva.

"Ah—" Sohele was thrown to the ground and moved back in panic, "It's biting me! Be careful!"

Cheng Yan's body had subconsciously reacted to dodge, but he forced himself to slow down and use his arm to take the strong bite from the long-haired tiger.

"Hiss... System! Activate the pain shield. It hurts so much."

[Pain shielding is on, time limit is one hour, points -1, current points 4029, current health 79]

Cheng Yan raised his leg and kicked the beast off his body, making an expression of great pain.

"Are you okay?" Sohelei's pupils trembled. She struggled to get up from the ground. Looking at Cheng Yan's bloody arm, tears immediately fell.

"What should I do? Normally, the long-haired tiger will not actively attack people."

"I'm fine." Cheng Yan spoke through gritted teeth, the cold sweat on his forehead soaking a few strands of hair.

Sohlei's heart tightened, tears blurred her vision, and she raised her hands to feel her body, "Bandage, bandage, need to bandage, but I don't have any... Right! There is an emergency medicine box in the camp, come with me!"

Suddenly thinking of a solution, Sohelei directly helped Cheng Yan up from the ground, "I'll take you to the camp to bandage you up. Can you still walk? I'll support you!"

"...It's okay." Cheng Yan tried his best to act like he was trying very hard. Seeing the genuine worry on Sohelei's face, he felt guilty for a moment.

Bright red blood dripped down her arm to the ground. Sohelei's hand was wet when she touched Cheng Yan's arm. The glaring red made her dare not open her eyes to take a closer look.

"I'm sorry, if you hadn't been with me, you wouldn't have been hurt." The deep guilt in the girl's heart made her unable to raise her head.

"Don't say that. I'm actually glad I got bit."

Sohlei looked up at him, tears streaming down her cheeks.

The arm in front of him was bitten so badly that it was so bloody that it was unbearable to look at, and the injured person was still smiling at him.

"If I hadn't followed you here, then you would have been the only target of the beast."

Cheng Yan's face was pale and his voice seemed to tremble a little because of the pain.

Sohelei's tears flowed even more violently. She pursed her lips and said nothing as she quickly pulled people towards the camp.

Cheng Yan followed her easily with his long legs, and felt a headache when he saw Sohelei's tears flowing.

"Don't cry, this wound looks scary, but it's actually not that serious."

Sohelei ignored him and was determined to bandage Cheng Yan's wound as soon as possible.

There was a fire burning in the campsite, and in front of the crude tent, the flickering flames reflected a tall and slender figure.

A huge drawing was hung in front of the tent. In the light of the fire, Zandik read it attentively, with a smile unconsciously appearing at the corners of his lips, as if the drawing was depicting his beloved.

Cheng Yan's intact arm was dragged by Sohelei, and his injured arm was a little numb from hanging in the air.

The closer they got to the camp, the stronger Sohelei became, and Cheng Yan almost felt like he was being dragged forward by her.

"System, I think this girl's strength is comparable to that of Sister Ganyu..."

[Ding——A new target person has been found. Please make physical contact with him within three seconds.]

Halfway through his words, Cheng Yan was caught off guard when he heard the task given to him by the system. He looked up to find the target person's location and immediately caught a glimpse of the thin and tall figure as strong as a pine or a cypress.

Although he didn't see the face, just looking at the back was enough to make Cheng Yan infatuated.

Zandik seemed to be attracted by the footsteps of the two people. He turned sideways and looked back, just in time to meet Cheng Yan's gaze that was fixed on him.

His pure black pupils were extremely clear, and his mouth was wide open in surprise, making him look unintelligent no matter how you looked at him.

There was a hint of subtle disdain in his eyes, and Zandik turned around, showing no interest in Sohelei who was hurrying to the camp and the not-so-bright boy beside her.

The ruby-like pupils looked into Cheng Yan's heart at a glance. When they passed each other, the countdown of the task in his mind was about to end. Cheng Yan subconsciously reached out and wanted to hold the slender fingers that were hanging naturally.

There was no feeling of holding hands, but the slender white fingers in front of him suddenly had a hint of red that made Cheng Yan frown.

"Is your hand... injured?" Cheng Yan asked blankly.

[Host, you reached out the wrong hand! You spilled the blood on someone else's body! ]

[Ding——Target Zandik’s favorability -1, current favorability -1]

Ahhh what have I done!

Cheng Yan hurriedly waved his hands and wanted to apologize, but his pain blocking function was on and he didn't even know which hand was injured.

It would have been fine if he hadn't waved his hand. As soon as he waved his hand, a few drops of blood flew out and splashed onto the drawing hanging in front of the tent.

Zandik looked at the blood on his hands expressionlessly, then shifted his gaze to the few eye-catching red drops on the drawing he had just drawn.

Finally, he shifted his gaze to Cheng Yan's panicked and dumbfounded face.

[Ding——Target Zandik’s favorability -5, current favorability -6]

The red eyes that were calm just now suddenly became stormy.

"Yes, sorry!"

Cheng Yan suddenly bent down and bowed to apologize, and the amplitude of the movement was so large that Zandik had to take a step back to avoid being hit on the head by Cheng Yan.

With his head buried in the ground, Cheng Yan bit his lips and blushed, as stiff as a puppet.

Sohelei held Cheng Yan's flailing arms with both hands, looked at Zandik's somewhat scary expression, then looked at the few conspicuous drops of blood on the drawing, and swallowed.

"Um...Zandik-san, he didn't mean it."

That's right! I really didn't mean it.

Cheng Yan raised his eyes, his dark pupils were filled with pity as he stared at the stern-faced man in front of him. He could already see the difficulties and obstacles on his future road to success.

Zandik did not respond. His eyes fell on Cheng Yan's face for a moment, then he turned and walked towards a small river beside the camp.

Sohelei breathed a sigh of relief and shook Cheng Yan's arm, "It's okay. If classmate Zandik doesn't say it directly, it means he is not angry anymore."

Cheng Yan looked at the figure by the water with a tense face, his expression was indescribable.

Really? Why did he feel like he had already sharpened the knife and was ready to use it on himself?
