Villain Rescue System - Chapter 73

He remembered many things.

But the clearest one was that five years ago, he drove past Wen Long who was waiting for a can at the school gate, and turned a blind eye to the rain-drenched figure.

He suddenly felt that he was particularly hateful.

The tears stopped at that moment.

That suffocating sense of fear turned into hatred.

He had done a lot of things that should not be forgiven.

Although those things were so small, the person in his arms never noticed. Yu Li carefully buried his head on her neck, and gently rubbed the hollow of her neck with the tip of his nose.

“I’m sorry…” He opened his mouth slowly, telling the person in his arms all the things he had done.

He wanted her to know that he was just a hypocritical selfish person, completely different from the person in her mind.

But Wen Long could no longer hear it.

Yu Li talked for a long time, because the trivial wrong things he did were too numerous to count.

After a long time, he stopped.

She was leaving, it seemed that he shouldn’t keep arguing with her.

But when he stopped, his eyes were red again.

It seemed that the mouth and the eyes were two connected outlets. When the mouth stopped, tears would start to flow.

“Could it be…”

“Could it be that if I hadn’t pretended to turn a blind eye that day, and you hadn’t been caught in the rain and then got sick, you wouldn’t be lying here like you are now?”

He knew he had said something stupid, but Yu Li still couldn’t stop thinking about that possibility.

After saying that, he didn’t speak again for a long time.

He thought it was time for him to be quiet.

“Good night.”

“Hiss…that’s really strange.”

Yu Li was woken up by that sound.

He slowly opened his eyes, but did not move.

“Sir, can you step aside a little? I’ll give the patient an examination.”

An examination? Was that still necessary?

He still didn’t move, because he knew that after letting go, he would no longer be able to hug the person in his arms.

Yu Li’s head was still resting against Wen Long’s neck.

His expression was a little numb, until he felt that the skin on the side of his face was still warm.

Her temperature…

That realization made him blink.

He raised his head, but met a pair of calm eyes.

“…”

Wen Long’s face was still pale.

Her eyes softened as she said, “Good morning.”

“…”

Wen Long looked straight at him, as if waiting for his response.

“…Good morning,” Yu Li said hoarsely.

Was he dreaming?

It didn’t matter if it was a dream.

“Mr. Yu, please step aside,” the doctor was a little anxious.

“…”

Yu Li kept his eyes on Wen Long’s face, but he obediently got off the hospital bed.

Only then did the doctor start to do his work.

He frowned in disbelief.

Obviously, the patient’s various vital points were very weak the previous night, but in the morning there were signs of rebound.

He had been practicing medicine for decades, and the human desire to survive sometimes did bring some incredible energy.

He could only attribute everything to it.

“The values ​​of all indicators are a little more optimistic than the previous few days, but whether it will improve or not remains to be seen.”

There were too many examples of people dying after gaining energy, and he shouldn’t make them happy in vain.

Yu Li seemed to have had such a dream not long ago, but it was far less real than it was then.

Wen Long turned her head back, closed her eyes and rested.

It took a lot of effort for her to open her eyes.

[You don’t have to stay.] The system couldn’t help but persuade.

[If you regret it one day, I can return the reward to you.]

The system remembered the scene from the previous night.

 …

[You are being transmitted to the next world, please prepare to leave the mission.]

“Mr. System.” 

The system paused the transmission process and waited for a while, but did not hear Wen Long speak again.

[Is there a problem?]

But the response to it was still silence.

She seldom hesitated like that, so the system patiently waited for her to speak again.

A few minutes later, it heard Wen Long’s voice, “You seem to have said that the reward from the last world can be given to other people?”

[Yes.]

The lifespan of abyssal demons was extremely long, and a life span of one hundred and fifty years was almost like a snap of a finger in their eyes.

The system once felt that its reward was a bit shabby, but its tasker didn’t say anything.

So it secretly decided that when all the fragments of the God get returned, it must make an application to the God to send her a precious reward.

 “…”

“I want…to exchange part of it for this body.”

[What?]

But Wen Long didn’t speak again.

[Exchanging your lifespan for this body means that you will stay in this world for a long time…Are you sure?]

“… Um.” 

The system felt that Wen Long’s voice was not that firm, so it asked again, but the answer was the same.

[I see.]

[I hope you won’t regret it.]

…

On the hospital bed, even with her eyes closed, Wen Long seemed to be able to feel the focused gaze of the person beside her.

She thought of the words she heard the previous night, as well as the tears dripping on her neck, and her mood was a little complicated.

She also didn’t understand why she wanted to stay, maybe the reason was just a moment of tenderness…

Wen Long felt a little funny.

She actually felt sorry for him?

In fact… there was still room for repentance.

‘If you regret it, I can return the reward to you.’

She didn’t care about that little reward, as she had other plans for doing the task.

If she wanted to, she could just leave.

While thinking about it, her left hand was suddenly held by someone.

It was Yu Li, because the hand holding her was wearing a ring.

His hand was trembling and slightly cold.

Wen Long didn’t open her eyes, but she said, “I want to listen to the violin…”

“…Wait, I’ll play it for you when we go back home,” Yu Li said almost instinctively.

‘Go back home…”

When the word came out of his mouth, there was a suffocating pleading.

His voice was hoarse from crying and talking a lot the previous night.

That hoarse voice made people feel that he was fragile.

Wen Long gently held his hand back.

Forget it, she would remain there for a few decades.
