Chapter 1061: Taking Turns on Watch

Since Facing Huo Jinglin remained unconscious, everyone decided that all of them would take turns watching over him.

At first, Ning Chen intended to care for him himself, but Lin Yi vetoed that idea.

"No way, Brother Ning, you are the most combat-capable among us. You must rest well; otherwise, what if you collapse from exhaustion?"

Originally, Ning Chen wanted to say that such a situation would not occur.

But seeing Lin Yi's determined gaze, he swallowed his words. Fine, they were also members of the team; since that was the case, he would not stand on ceremony.

Twenty-four hours a day, each of the three people would stand guard for eight hours; if anything happened, shout out so everyone could hear.

As for why it was three people, it was because Ning Chen and Lin Yi both agreed that Gu Yanqi should handle logistics, taking care of the guards whenever free.

Ning Chen voluntarily took the night shift, Xiao Han was the first, and Lin Yi took the middle time slot.

During Xiao Han's guard shift, everyone stayed together in the living room; to prevent Facing Huo Jinglin from possibly flying into a rage and falling off the sofa, Lin Yi removed the table, made a floor bed between the two sofas, and placed Facing Huo Jinglin on it.

Looking at Facing Huo Jinglin, who lay before him with eyes tightly shut, Lin Yi felt immense sorrow in his heart; if it were not for saving him, Facing Huo Jinglin would not have ended up like this.

Seeing Lin Yi with his head bowed, looking utterly dejected, Ning Chen patted his shoulder.

"No need to feel so bad; this was his own choice. Moreover, if not for this incident, we probably would never have learned that Facing Huo Jinglin might be an ability user. One could say misfortune turned into a blessing."

Lin Yi looked at Ning Chen in surprise; having known him for so long, the times Ning Chen voluntarily spoke so much could be counted on one hand.

A warm current surged through his heart; it seemed that being able to make the mute Ning Chen speak meant he was still very important in Ning Chen's heart.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt much better; he looked at Facing Huo Jinglin and silently prayed in his heart: You must pull through!

In the morning, everyone did as they usually did; of course, they mostly faced each other in silence, or read books and such.

The originally lively Lin Yi also became extremely silent because of Facing Huo Jinglin's situation.

When afternoon arrived and it was Lin Yi's turn to guard, he simply stared at Facing Huo Jinglin, missing not a single expression or movement from the other.

Gu Yanqi had slept a while; upon waking and seeing Lin Yi still acting exactly as at the very beginning, like a stone gazing for a husband, she quietly approached Ning Chen's side.

"Ning Chen, is Lin Yi really okay like this?"

Hearing Gu Yanqi's voice, Ning Chen glanced at Lin Yi, then immediately handed the freshly brewed milk tea to Gu Yanqi.

"Mm, he's fine; no need to worry."

Clutching the milk tea, Gu Yanqi's face turned slightly red; distracted by the cup of milk tea, she returned to the room.

Xiao Han, who had been lying with eyes closed in the passenger seat, slowly opened his eyes, a hint of teasing on his face.

"I never expected you'd like someone like this? I heard you had a girlfriend who has passed away; you loved that girlfriend quite a lot, didn't you? What, have you transferred your affections?"
