Chapter 149: Warmth

"They were all political rivals of the Federal Head, or people who had conflicts of interest with their faction."

Hearing this, Ka'er sprawled on the sofa, doubting life, his brows furrowed enough to crush a fly.

Qiao Suisui suddenly understood Zongfang's intention: "Are you worried that even if we make the evidence public, with your father's and the Federal Head's power, it will be quickly suppressed?"

Zongfang nodded, then shook his head. In fact, he didn't care about exposing any truth; what did the life or death of the Rebel Army have to do with him? He only worried that this matter would implicate her safety.

He touched her hair, his eyes filled with a coldness that was almost calm: "You don't understand my father; he is a monster without feelings."

Zongfang's voice was stiff and cold; if one listened carefully, one could even find a trace of fear in it.

Qiao Suisui was truly curious: what kind of person could make Zongfang afraid?

She wrapped her arms around his neck to comfort him: "You are you, he is he. Zongfang, you have no obligation to be the person you were a year ago, a day ago, or even 15 minutes ago."

She wanted to tell him, and also tell herself, that there was no need to be anxious, afraid, sorry, or guilty; we are born with the right to experience change and growth.

Zongfang held the petite body in his arms, feeling her body temperature, which felt like a continuous source of energy. An indescribable sense of luck welled up in his heart.

His Qiaoqiao was the warmest person in the world. Only by her side did his life have meaning.

Finally, the three discussed for a while how to dispose of the chip. Qiao Suisui wanted to take it back to the Huangting, but was dissuaded by Zongfang and Ka'er. Since Kui Shou had gone to such great lengths, his goal was to find the black box, which meant the Federation would definitely destroy this evidence at all costs. Therefore, this chip was a ticking time bomb; once the Federation knew the chip was in Qiao Suisui's hands, she would definitely be in danger. In the end, Zongfang embedded the chip into his own arm.

Qiao Suisui watched him cut open another incision in the place that had just healed, and couldn't help but tighten her grip on the collar of her clothes.

The best way was to transfer the chip to Anubis so he could clear the name of the Rebel Army. So the three decided to wait for Anubis for a few more days. If he didn't appear on the Southern Battlefield after the specified date, she would have to obediently go back with Ka'er.

In the time that followed, Qiao Suisui and Ka'er collected as many remaining documents as possible to prove the existence of the underground laboratory, and also took a large number of photos of the Dadelinie ruins, intending to post them on the Zizai organization after returning, so that the beastmen in the organization could help spread the word.

This day, Zongfang went out as usual. He was currently in service and had to sign in at a fixed time and place to complete a fixed quota of tasks. Although with his ability he had already completed the task quota of other males for a year, signing in was a mandatory requirement, otherwise it would be considered desertion.

Usually, he would search for relatively fresh ingredients after signing in and return to prepare three meals a day for her. But Qiao Suisui was an afternoon person, a night owl. When she was in the Huangting, Laiboli and Luka wanted to correct her schedule several times, but in the end, they were led by her to sleep only in the early morning. So generally, when she woke up, it was already lunchtime.

Zongfang knew that this habit was very harmful to her body, so he forced her to "boot up" every morning, first kissing her awake tirelessly, then carrying her to wash up while she was still dazed. By the time she came to her senses, she was often already sitting at the dining table.

But today, when Zongfang went to call her, he found the small body curled up under the quilt.

He lifted a corner of the quilt and saw her little face pale, with sweat on her forehead, and his expression immediately became nervous.

"Qiaoqiao, let me see, where are you uncomfortable?"

Qiao Suisui curled her legs toward her abdomen, biting her lip in pain.

Previously, because she had been pregnant all the time, she hadn't thought about her period. Later, when she was well taken care of by Laiboli and Luka in the Huangting, she only had a slight backache when she had her period each month, and had never been like today, with lower abdominal cramps and her back soaked in cold sweat.

Zongfang frowned and called her, wanting to check her but not daring to touch her casually. Ka'er heard the sound and came over. Seeing her face, he immediately squatted in front of her and asked softly: "Good girl, let me see, where does it hurt? Tell me, okay?"

Qiao Suisui's face turned red and white. Just as the two were talking, she felt a warm current in her lower body and immediately thought that she was still wearing Zongfang's white shirt, which must have been stained with blood by now. Ah, is there a crack in the ground? I really want to drill into it.

Qiao Suisui covered her face with the quilt, and her weak voice came out muffled: "You guys go out, don't worry about me, I... I'll be fine in a while."

"Qiaoqiao, let me see." Zongfang was too anxious to ask her, so he directly lifted the quilt and held her in his arms. Just as he wanted to check for her, he saw Qiao Suisui covering her face with both hands, her ears and neck turning red.

"You get out, you all get out!"

She was anxious and wanted to cry, but the two men became even more nervous. Regardless of her unwillingness, Ka'er held her, and Zongfang freed his hand to check for her.

As a result, whether it was because she struggled too hard, or because they were afraid of really hurting her and didn't grab her with force, Qiao Suisui crawled into the corner of the sleep pod and wrapped herself into a rice dumpling with the quilt, not answering no matter how Ka'er and Zongfang coaxed her.

"Sui Sui, where exactly does it hurt, tell me, I..."

Ka'er was speaking, but Zongfang suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

Ka'er looked at him in confusion, but saw a drop of bright red blood on the man's trouser leg. Ka'er became even more nervous and blurted out: "Are you injured? Come here, let me see."

As he said that, he was about to crawl inside to catch Qiao Suisui, but was pulled by Zongfang.

Zongfang said to the "rice dumpling" curled up in the corner: "Qiaoqiao, we're going out." After speaking, he pushed Ka'er out of the room and considerately closed the door.

"What are you doing?" Ka'er didn't want to argue with him and turned to go back in, but was blocked firmly by Zongfang.

"She is alone inside, I'm not at ease, let me go!" Ka'er said irritably.

Zongfang coughed and said in a low, unnatural voice: "She's on her period."

Ka'er opened his eyes wide in curiosity and asked: "What is a period?"

Zongfang couldn't be bothered to explain to him and directly threw him a research paper on periods by ancient humans.

Actually, it couldn't be blamed on Ka'er's narrow knowledge. There were only artificial females here, and even reproduction was hatched on a factory assembly line, so they had long evolved away from the periods that human women had. Zongfang also realized this when he saw the drop of blood on his pants and associated it with Qiao Suisui's reaction.

Ka'er read ten lines at a glance, and after reading it, he only felt his throat tighten and was at a loss. "Then, what should we do now?"

"..." Zongfang was calmer than Ka'er, but it was his first time encountering this situation, and the omnipotent Doctor now had a mess in his brain.

In the room, Qiao Suisui, who heard the sound of the door closing, quietly poked her head out from the quilt. Her face had originally been as pale as paper, but this stuffiness had brought some color to it.

She hurriedly endured the abdominal pain, crawled out of the sleep pod, and ran barefoot to the washroom to deal with herself. When she came out after a hot shower and wrapped herself in a bath towel, she found that she had no change of clothes. She had been wearing Zongfang's clothes for the past few days, but that one had just been stained with blood. What should she do? So Qiao Suisui grabbed the bath towel wrapped around her, walked to the door, and opened a crack. Sure enough, she saw two men standing outside the door, staring at each other. Now, seeing her half-body exposed at the door, her wet hair draped over her shoulders, and a pair of eyes looking at them helplessly, she looked exactly like a little cat caught in the rain.

"Um... get me some clothes..."

Can you imagine that these sweet chapters were written while I was working overtime very seriously? I feel like I am the real two-headed snake, one head working, one head writing. Crying, I won't say anything else, it's all in the votes. PS. Sweeter tomorrow. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
