We moved to Golden Courtyard

After all, to Möbius, the value of a human life was no different from that of a lab rat. They were both experimental subjects.

but……

"Having spent so much time with Xu Qi, have I been affected as well?" Mebius gazed at Lilia, who was lying quietly on the experimental bed.

She had some impression of this little girl; unlike her pink-haired sister, she was quieter and more to Mebius's liking.

"Little girl, you should really be happy that your sister has met such a person. Don't worry... I will do my best in a moment."

……

"Xu Qi!" Delta saw Xu Qi come out from outside the laboratory and quickly went up to ask.

"Lilia!...How is Lilia now!?"

Her face was filled with anxiety, mixed with a hint of despair.

It was as if fate was deliberately playing a joke on her, that the accident happened at this particular time.

"Delta, calm down, everything will be alright, everything will be alright, so you must stay calm, understand?"

"Uh-huh……"

But how could that be? Lying in that operating room... was Delta's most important family member!

She no longer possessed her usual composure and ease; instead, she was filled with boundless panic and anxiety.

All Xu Qi could do was stay by her side and comfort Delta's tormented heart.

Just one door separates you from heaven and hell.

666. Some sacrifices are made without expecting anything in return.

Inside the sterile room, Su originally intended to say some morale-boosting words as usual, but then he suddenly realized that all those cooperating with him were robots.

Oh... no, there's someone.

Sue looked at Klein, who was struggling to climb onto one of the operating tables, and smiled.

"Please continue to guide me, Ms. Kiana."

Kiana's voice, transmitted through Klein's speaker, was electronically synthesized, but Kiana herself was quite satisfied with it, finding it very close to her original voice.

"It's alright, saving lives is the priority."

Indeed... saving lives is the priority.

Outside the sterile room, Möbius held his breath, fully prepared. Despite his earlier confident and assured statements to Delta.

But I also wanted to give the other person more confidence. In reality, who can guarantee that the surgery will be 100% successful?

Moreover, this is under the circumstances of an unexpected accident.

Ten days earlier than expected, many of Lilia's physical functions had not yet adjusted to their optimal state. At this point, it all depended on Su's performance on the spot.

It's okay, if it's Su... it should be fine!

······

Meanwhile, the tense surgery had been underway for some time, while outside the operating room, Delta was practically kneeling down in prayer.

At this time, Mei and the others also returned one after another.

Delta was somewhat surprised. She could understand Rita and Bronya coming, but the people in the Golden Courtyard...

“These are always the hardest times. Having someone with you is like having someone to take care of you.” Mei gently stroked Delta’s hair.

"But...you don't need to do this because of me."

"It's not for you, little one. We came here because of Xu Qi." Qian Jie's words were almost cold, yet truthful.

Delta, however, was more accepting of it.

She turned to look at Xu Qi, who had been by her side the whole time, and said solemnly, "Thank you..."

Whatever it was, from beginning to end, for everything, I am very grateful...

Xu Qi stared intently at Delta, then suddenly smiled as if relieved.

"Perhaps Senior Delta will always be like this. No matter how close the relationship is with the other party, he will always be able to keep things separate."

No matter who it's dealing with, you can keep a clear mental record.

Delta looked up in confusion, seemingly not understanding what Xu Qi meant by those words.

Mei could understand, and she looked anxious, about to say something, when she saw Xu Qi gently shake his head.

"It's alright, Mei. I didn't mean anything by it. It's just..."

Xu Qi looked at Delta, his expression showing a hint of heartache.

Such a look, however, made Delta feel flustered.

Because... perhaps... no one has ever looked at her like that before?

"You must have gone through a lot that I can't even imagine to have developed this way of doing things. It's okay, Delta, I don't expect to change you."

However… I think I'll make you understand that some sacrifices are made without expecting anything in return.

……

Delta stared blankly at Xu Qi. She knew that her values ​​were completely opposite to those of Xu Qi and the others.

She even thought that if Xu Qi truly understood her, he might... hate her.

But Delta couldn't bring herself to hide it.

but……

"I've said it before. I like you, and I mean it."

"!"

Just like that day at home when she heard Xu Qi say "I like you," Delta's heart almost skipped a beat.

how so?

"Oh right, right, right~~ You're serious about who you like, right? Xu, you big scumbag?" Mei squinted her eyes and mercilessly exposed Xu Qi's shortcomings.

Xu Qi awkwardly scratched his head.

"Well... I can only say that it is true."

The girls in the courtyard all rubbed their foreheads—they weren't hiding their Aquaman identities at all, were they?

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Mebius walked out.

"professor!?"

"professor!"

The moment Mebius appeared, everyone crowded around him, then tacitly made way for Delta so she could rush to the professor in a panic.

“Professor Möbius, my sister…”

"Don't worry, the surgery isn't finished yet, but the most dangerous part is over."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Delta still didn't dare to relax. She immediately asked nervously, "It's not finished... then... what is needed?"

Clearly, even at this critical juncture, Delta is still able to maintain enough composure to complete the most basic thinking.

Since the surgery wasn't completed, why was Möbius out? She couldn't have just been out for a casual stroll...

Mebius looked at Delta and Xu Qi in turn.

"Delta, I need a piece of your DNA data. This should have been collected earlier, but it's not too late now. And Xu Qi, I need your blood."

Sakura frowned.

"Professor, why do we absolutely need Xu Qi's blood? We have the same blood type, can't mine be used instead?"

Mebius shook his head.

"Don't ask too many questions, Sakura. I only need Xu Qi's blood. Don't worry, there won't be any problems. However... after this transfusion, you'll need to rest at home for a while."

"Rest and recuperate?"

Delta panicked, but she didn't know what to say—one was her sister, and the other was the man she loved.

Eden frowned.

"Are you sure everything's okay? The transfusion volume is huge?"

"It won't be very big. My prediction is 400cc, which is something most people can handle, let alone Xu Qi. But it's best to rest for a while."

"Oh, by the way," Möbius squinted at everyone, "blood transfusions are ultimately very taxing on the body, so during this time... you're not allowed to go see him. Some people know what I mean."

In an instant, Mei, Airi, Sakura, Fu Hua, Dr. Mei, Bronya, and Rita all turned their heads away, changing the subject.

A bunch of restless guys...

Seeing Delta's worried and fearful expression, Xu Qi patted her head reassuringly.

"Alright, don't worry, I'll definitely give you a lively and energetic Lilia."

"Xu Qi, I..."

"Everything else depends on saving Lilia's life."

Indeed, we'll have to wait until the ending to see what happens!

Once inside Möbius's laboratory, the professor first asked Delta to wait in a small room, leaving Xu Qi behind alone.

"professor."

"Ok?"

"Tell me the truth, what is Lilia's condition?"

……

Mebius took a deep breath.

"You're temporarily stable, but you're not out of danger yet. I need Delta's DNA as a sample parameter to help with the drug formulation based on your blood."

Therefore, it's not time to relax yet.

667. So even Sakura can be stubborn sometimes.

It's no exaggeration to say that Xu Qi is the person who understands Möbius the most in the world.

Sometimes, Xu Qi only needs a glance or a gesture from Snake to know what the other person is thinking. Even Möbius himself finds it hard to believe.

It's unbelievable that one day, someone would understand me so well... and not be disliked by me.

After all, the last person who understood her like this was named Virvi.

"Don't worry, Xu Qi, I won't let you and Delta's expectations be in vain. You know I rarely make any specific promises, but this time I can promise you."

Mebius lifted Xu Qi's sleeve and slowly inserted the needle into Xu Qi's vein.

"I will snatch Lilia back from the clutches of death, I promise."

"Yes, I believe you, Professor."

······

A moment later, the door reopened, and this time, Delta helped Xu Qi walk out slowly. Upon seeing this, Aponia immediately stepped forward and took Delta into her arms.

“Leave it to me. I have experience as a nurse before I became a nun.”

No one dared to delay, and they immediately helped Aponia carry Xu Qi into the room.

She gently laid Xu Qi on the bed and stepped forward to soothe her, asking softly, "How are you feeling? Are you dizzy?"

Xu Qi forced a smile.

"It's nothing... I'm actually fine. I just felt a little tired when I came out, so I asked Delta to help me up."

It's only 400cc. I could go to work right now, it's really no problem.
