We are from the future ark

Chen Qi avoided the topic. While being helped up by Amiya, he covered the right side of his face and said with a toothache:

"Hiss - it's quite neat. Now I have to put gauze on the right half of my face as well."

"That's all your fault, you bastard!"

However, it would have been fine if Chen Qi hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he mentioned Huang, he got angry. Feeling embarrassed and annoyed, Huang grabbed Chen Qi's sleeve and yelled at him shamelessly:

"How can I face people like this? What's up with that video of yours?! I won't dare talk to anyone anymore!"

"You idiot! You bastard! Take your responsibility!"

"...Both sides of my face are swollen, isn't that enough?" Chen Qi gave a bitter smile when he heard this. Of course he was angry about the sudden attack, but the target was Huang, whom he felt indebted to, so he couldn't feel any emotion at all.

"How can this be enough! Even if I slap you a hundred more times, it still won't be enough!" Huang was so angry that she was about to cry. From childhood to adulthood, she had never suffered such injustice.

"You are responsible for this! You have to restore my reputation!"

"...Is there any simple way?" Chen Qi couldn't help but feel a little bit of a toothache when he heard this. Of course he wanted to do it, but such compensation would be of no help, and it might even be even more difficult to explain.

However, Chen Qi's words did not mean what Huang heard. Huang's expression froze, and Amiya's expression also froze. It was obvious that they were thinking of the same thing.

"Dream on!"

Suddenly, he felt a feeling that made his face hot surge into his heart. After his heart trembled violently three times, Huang almost gathered all his strength and roared out these words.

"Do you think I will like a kid like you?! I'm telling you! Not even in this lifetime - no, not even in the next lifetime!"

As he said that, Huang angrily pushed Chen Qi away, pointed his finger at Chen Qi, and with red cheeks and eyes that looked like they were about to cry, he yelled at Chen Qi:

"I will never like a playboy like you! Ever!"

"Remember what happened today! I will definitely find a chance to get it back!"

After saying that, Huang fled in a very embarrassed manner and disappeared from the sight of Chen Qi and Amiya in an instant, without a trace.

It was unknown how long it took before Chen Qi and Amiya reacted one after another. Amiya supported Chen Qi and murmured, "Huang left again?"

"...No, she should have gone back."

Seeing this, Chen Qi slowly lowered the hand that was covering the right half of his face. After staring at his palm for a long time, Chen Qi smiled with some unknown intention, and said in a low voice:

"Really...what is this?"

……

"boom!"

"This guy...what on earth am I talking about..."

Huang stopped at a tall building, leaning against the wall as if she was exhausted, with one hand tightly covering her mouth. The strong wind that just blew past had not even blown away the blush on her cheeks.

Like or something... She has never said this to anyone since she was a child... let alone to a boy.

"Ugh——!"

When he thought of this, the blush on his cheeks deepened. Huang even made a sound like a wronged kitten and faced the wall, not daring to see anyone.

His heart couldn't stop beating faster and faster, his face was red, even his ears and neck were red, and he couldn't help but subconsciously activate his Originium skills, but he couldn't feel any fatigue at all.

The cat's tail behind her was shaking violently in the air, like a dancing skipping rope, symbolizing the strange and confused mind of the girl who was just beginning to fall in love...

Chapter 283: There is still a long way to go, and there is still a chance

"……puff."

In Kal'tsit's office in Rhodes Island, which was not destroyed by Huang's previous disturbance, looking at the returning Chen Qi and Amiya, the moment he saw the sudden palm print on the right half of Chen Qi's face, the Doctor who was waiting in the office with Kal'tsit finally expressed his feelings with a reaction.

"You're still laughing?" Chen Qi's face turned dark upon seeing this, and he expressed his dissatisfaction to the doctor.

"Yes, I'm sorry...I usually don't laugh at others...unless I can't help it."

However, if the doctor had a way, he really didn't want to laugh at Chen Qi who had returned from completing the mission. But, looking at Chen Qi's left face wrapped in gauze, and the right face which was now swollen like the left half and had a clear palm print, he couldn't help it.

“Hahahahaha…yes, I’m sorry…I can’t help it, I really can’t help it…”

The doctor finally couldn't hold back his emotions anymore. He almost fell on Kal'tsit's desk, laughing until his stomach hurt. He said incoherently:

“Both sides of my face are equally swollen…and they’re surprisingly symmetrical—hahahahaha!”

"..."

"Doc, if you don't want me to throw you out, I think you can stop now."

Finally, it was Kal'tsit's words that made the Doctor feel a sense of crisis. As soon as Kal'tsit finished speaking, the Doctor really remained silent obediently. His expressionless face hidden behind the protective helmet seemed quite serious at this moment.

Well, that's true, but Chen Qi could still feel that the doctor was definitely still trying to hold back his laughter, it's just that no one could see his face.

——Damn it, I was wrong. When I first came here to hit you in the face, I should have used more force. Chen Qi's face was now black, and he couldn't help but have some vicious thoughts in his mind.

I hope that the doctor won’t be found by Chen Qi, otherwise his face, which was scratched by a lynx and has just healed, may have a few more marks.

Fortunately, Chen Qi's malicious thoughts about the Doctor are only temporary and he will forget them after a while, but the premise is that the Doctor does not irritate Chen Qi too much, otherwise Chen Qi would not suggest raising a rune sword with a sheep skull or a purple axe to enhance the relationship with the Doctor.

"So, what do you think about Huang?" Kal'tsit looked at Chen Qi again and asked with a smile, with undisguised gentleness in her eyes.

Kal'tsit seemed to be in a good mood... No, it seemed that ever since she and the Doctor had a tacit understanding of their relationship, she seemed to be in a good mood.

Maybe, it's just as Amiya said, with expectations and hopes in our hearts, we start to become a little more cheerful.

In fact, Chen Qi himself did not particularly agree with Amiya's way of resolving the knot between the Doctor and Kal'tsit at that time, but now, looking at Kal'tsit and the Doctor like this... Chen Qi had to say that his idea might really be wrong.

Many people and many things are buried in their hearts and cannot be said, dare not say, and do not want to say, but those words cannot be hidden for a lifetime. Perhaps they really need to talk and need to be understood.

I have to admit that Chen Qi is indeed far inferior to Amiya in this regard. He knows how to deal with it, but due to certain personality reasons, he cannot do better in this regard.

"Huang..." Chen Qi was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then said:

"She is undoubtedly the cornerstone of the battlefield siege. There is hardly anyone else in the entire Rhodes Island who has such rich combat experience and strength as her."

"Although she may cause more trouble than on the battlefield, she is strong-willed and is undoubtedly the best kind of partner and compatriot we have always considered."

"—That's not what I'm asking."

However, Kal'tsit couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, but she still asked patiently:

"What I'm asking is, how do you feel about Huang?"

"...Please don't match me up with someone else. I'm still in the 'occupancy period'."

Chen Qi quickly reacted after hearing this, and said to Kal'tsit with a wry smile: "What's more, I just offended her completely, and she probably doesn't want to see me at all now."

"She scolded me just now in the city. I don't dare to go in front of her and offend her now."

"That's not necessarily true." Kal'tsit smiled slightly when she heard that. After looking at the Doctor, they both understood what the other meant.

"Based on my understanding of Huang, she has never shown such 'passion' towards other men before. Also, from what I understand, there seems to be something going on between you two that we don't know about?"

"…It was an accident." Chen Qi continued to defend himself.

"What about this time? A woman slapping you once can be considered an accident, but this is the second time... I don't think there are so many accidents in this world."

Kal'tsit said this, but couldn't help but tilt her head slightly and asked Chen Qi curiously:

"I'm really confused. Why do I feel like you seem to dislike Huang? Doesn't she fit your view of a partner? Or is it because of her sloppy lifestyle?"

"...No, I actually talked to her before. If I still had such doubts in the past, I understand them now."

Chen Qi was speechless when he heard this. But then he thought about it and felt that Huang was indeed a bit pitiful. There were so many people in Rhodes Island, but there was not a single person who truly understood her.

"She... is the kind of person who will burn herself out for the ideals she believes in. She will not let go of her obsession until she sees the dawn of true victory."

"So, whether she really has someone she loves or not, as long as we are still in the midst of war, she will not put down her chainsaw—nor her heart."

"It's a bit embarrassing to say that I haven't fulfilled Huang's long-cherished wish yet...so I hope I can do it this time."

Thinking of the lonely Huang who is still on Rhodes Island gazing into the distance... For no reason, Chen Qi felt a little depressed.

Whether it was now or in the past, Huang had never let go of his worries and got married. Now thinking about it... Chen Qi felt that he must not have done enough and had not yet let Huang really see hope.

Or was it because of her past self that she was disappointed? Or was it because of this broken world? ... Chen Qi didn't know. He only knew that even if Huang ended it all in the future, he still couldn't let go of his knot and welcome his new life.

Chen Qi was unwilling, but at that time, she had no choice but to accept the fact. But this time... he was still a little unwilling.

Why, no matter what he did, he still couldn't satisfy everyone... There were still a few people who were very important to him, who still couldn't enjoy all of this.

Perhaps, Chen Qi's reason has given up such naive ideas, but emotionally... he is unwilling to accept it.

He wanted to do better. Even if it was childish, he still wanted to do better.

"I understand what you said."

After a brief silence, Kal'tsit nodded and said, "Well, don't rush it. Let's take it slow."

"..." Aren't you still letting me go to capture Huang? Chen Qi opened his mouth, but chose not to speak.

"So, what should we do next?"

"... Go and wipe the 'battle scars' off your face first."

Kal'tsit pointed at the clear slap mark on Chen Qi's face, and after a moment of silence, she slowly said:

"You can't go out and see people like this. You are now representing the image of the highest commander of our Rhodes Island. You can't do this... haha."

"—You laughed! You must have laughed!"

Finally, Kal'tsit's last utterance completely broke through Chen Qi's last line of reason, and a burst of cursing, unable to control his emotions, finally broke out in Kal'tsit's office.

However, that day, no one was aware of the angry cursing sounds coming from Kal'tsit's office. All they heard was a very strange burst of laughter coming from the two people in Kal'tsit's office.

Chapter 284: Chen Qi's Slight Lack of Confidence

"We'll say goodbye here, Mr. Chen Qi. You don't need to see me off."

A few days later, one morning, Sherag and his group, SilverGray, Hornpeak, and the Messenger, who were currently inside Rhodes Island, were standing next to a land ship and said to Chen Qi:

"I understand your meaning. Don't worry. Kjerag is now Avalon's best ally. We, Kjerag, fully support your strategy and tactics."

"I need to return to Kjerag now to organize the military equipment in preparation for the decisive battle with Kazdel later. Lord Chen Qi, there is no need to see me off."

"I'm very curious, why is Lord Silver Gray willing to go through fire and water with our new force?" Chen Qi raised his head slightly. Silver Gray was a few points taller than Chen Qi. Chen Qi asked with a smile:

"You know, we are facing Kazdel this time, and this is a direct battle. If we lose, Avalon, which seems to be in its heyday now, will be completely destroyed in the war."

"Aren't you worried? Lord SilverAsh, by then, your Kjerag will be doomed."

"——In business, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. This is a big gamble."

Silver Gray naturally didn't think that Chen Qi said this unintentionally, but at this moment, the two of them knew tacitly that this was just a simple teasing. After a slight smile, Silver Gray said lightly:

"Now, Kjerag has almost merged with Avalon. We prosper together and suffer together. Facing Kazdel, Kjerag's power cannot affect the overall situation. It is more of a help."

"As you said, this war is a decisive battle with Kazdel. I think that even without our support, Lord Chen Qi will definitely think of other ways to fight Kazdel to the death."

“If you win, we, Kjerag, will also benefit from your achievements. Similarly, if you fail, even if we, Kjerag, are not involved, Kazdel will not let us off.”

"In that case, why don't we try our best to help this time? This is a good thing with huge benefits."

After saying that, Yinhui also smiled gently, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Qi suddenly changed a bit, and then he said lightly:

"Moreover, Master Chen Qi, you have done us Shelag a great favor. You will help us take care of Enya in the future. SilverGray will never forget it."

"We should go back and sort out Kjerag, Master Chen Qi. When we are fully prepared, Kjerag will become a chess piece on your chessboard. Master Chen Qi, please make good use of him."

"...I will." Chen Qi's expression became slightly serious upon hearing this, and he nodded solemnly to Yinhui.

"Well, goodbye, everyone from Rhodes Island."

Silvergray nodded, and without saying a word, he boarded the land ship with Hornpeak and the messenger. As the door gradually opened, the land ship began to move slowly.

"——Sir Chen Qi, please help me take care of Enya and Enxia."

"I will." Chen Qi nodded again, and watched Silver Gray's group's land ship slowly leave, heading towards the direction of Kjerag outside the wilderness, getting farther and farther away...

"... Another batch has been sent away."

At this moment, behind Chen Qi, Ifrit's figure slowly appeared, looking at the disappearing land ship, and said to Chen Qi:

“Will Kjerag be a great help to us? Compared with Kazdel’s national defense force… they are still inferior, right?”
