Tomb Raider: Nine Gates Let Me Be the Group’s Pet

"Don't move." Seeing that he had hurt his wound, Zhang Zixi quickly reached out to support him.

"Here, take this. This ointment is very useful. If you still feel pain tomorrow, apply some on it."

Seeing him like this, Zhang Zixi got down from the chair, ran to the cupboard, got out a jar of ointment and handed it to him.

"Hurry up and take it. I still have some."

"If you answer it, I won't be angry that you just lied."

Seeing that he was hesitant and didn't dare to take it, Zhang Zixi said a few more words and then firmly handed over some more.

"Then...thank...thank you..."

"My name is Zhang Zixi. What's your name? Why are they bullying you?" Zhang Zixi saw that he finally took it, and asked him happily with a proud face.

"My name is... Zhang Baishan. Maybe it's because I... don't have enough ability... so they... look down on me."

"This is ridiculous! They don't seem to be that powerful. Why do they bully others?" Zhang Zixi said angrily when she heard his words.

"You have to become very powerful to show them! You must! You can't keep letting them bully you." Zhang Zixi got even angrier when she saw that he was still looking down and sullen.

"but I……

"Even if I want to become stronger, it will take a process, and I really don't have the confidence..." At that time, Adjutant Zhang didn't know that he would really be able to become stronger in the future.

"Well... this is for you, wear it." Zhang Zixi said as she was about to take off a bracelet from her hand.

"I heard that I have been wearing this on my hand since I was very young. I have been wearing it since I like it very much. I heard that the flower on it is called the Wind and Rain Flower, which symbolizes power, bravery and strength. You will definitely become a very powerful person if you wear it!" Zhang Zixi said as she was about to pull the bracelet open a little and put it on his hand.

"And if you become stronger, you won't have to worry about them bullying you anymore!" Zhang Zixi looked at the bracelet with satisfaction.

"I, I, I... No..." How did it get put on him when he wasn't paying attention... He had already received help from others, so why was he taking other people's things?

“Don’t pick them!”

"But... don't you like it very much... it's not good to give it to me like this..."

"Then let's make a deal. You can return it to me when you become very powerful. Before that, you just wear it well. Is that okay?" Zhang Zixi stretched out her little finger and pinky-pinched with him to seal the deal.

"Well... okay... alright." What was he thinking at that time? Adjutant Zhang broke away from his memories. After that, he really treated this as a promise and worked hard. Even when he was in trouble during the escape, he still held the bracelet tightly and survived. He never thought of giving up, until today he has become Mr. Buddha's adjutant.

'After that night, I rarely saw her again,' thought Adjutant Zhang.

So on that day a month ago, when he saw the girl who called herself Zhang Zixi, he only remembered that his heart was beating so fast that he could hardly hear other sounds around him.

'If she sees that I have become stronger now, what will her reaction be? ' Adjutant Zhang thought absentmindedly, but soon, he shook his head vigorously as if to get rid of this absurd idea...

"What am I thinking about... maybe she doesn't remember me at all." Adjutant Zhang laughed at himself sadly, put the bracelet back into the box, turned off the light and prepared to rest.
