Chapter 23 (2/2)
“Brah, like you don’t know my bulging muscles will heal brah, I can get up with my swaggy muscles brah.”
Donford Wu told her.
“You can’t just lay here on the ground.”
Yaara Ming once again reached out.
“Yo dude, I said don’t move me. You messing up my swag brah.”
Donford Wu raised his force. His words stimulated his lungs a lot, a cough tried to come out. He hurriedly suppressed it, coughing would only make his injuries worse.
“What is it?”
Yaara Ming finally discovered that something was wrong with Donford Wu’s mood.
Donford Wu didn’t reply. The reason why he came back to save her was because of a man’s principle, deep in his heart, he was still angry at Yaara Ming.
“You’re mad at me for not letting you in my room?”
Yaara Ming guessed the origin of his anger.
Donford Wu still didn’t open his mouth.
Seeing him not speaking, Yaara Ming knew she guessed right.
“That really doesn’t match our etiquette.”
Yaara Ming said out to explain.
“Yo man, if you really cared about these bulging muscles of swag brah, then you wouldn’t give a f.u.c.k about some s.h.i.+tty etiquette.”
Donford Wu started to move his hands and feet.
“Let’s talk about this later, let’s go back to a room. I need to check your injuries.”
Yaara Ming once again reached out.
“Yo man, you disrupting my flow brah.”
Donford Wu stared angrily at her.
Seeing such a large reaction from Donford Wu, only then did Yaara Ming knew how serious this problem is. Before this, she thought that Donford Wu was just throwing a fit, but now, she knew that he was truly angry.
“Do you have external injuries?”
Yaara Ming noticed that the stains of blood on Donford Wu’s chest didn’t seem to come from spitting out blood.
Donford Wu didn’t respond. Bending his knees and tilting his body, he slowly stood up. Seeing that he had such difficulty standing up, Yaara Ming tried to reach and support him. As a result, she only got another fierce glare.
Trying out a few steps, Donford Wu went back into the room to pick up his dagger, then, going back out again to find the pile of bamboo to search for his bow and arrows. The quiver was broken, the arrows were all around the ground, some of them were beast bones that were not quite grinded yet. Donford Wu picked all of them up, holding them in place under his arms.
“Where are you going?”
Yaara Ming blocked Donford Wu.
Donford Wu didn’t say anything, going around Yaara Ming, he went towards the south. Even though he saved Yaara Ming, but his mood was even worse than before. In modern times, he was an outstanding soldier, extremely confident. But coming here, he still didn’t belittle himself, right until tonight did he find out that he wasn’t outstanding in this period of time. The biggest reason why Yaara Ming choose him was because he accidentally saw her face.
“You’re an adult, how can you have such a small temper?”
Yaara Ming painfully looked at Donford Wu who was having a hard time moving around.
Just like he did, Donford Wu didn’t talk. In his mind was the last sentence he asked Yaara Ming before he planned to leave. He said he was suffering, asking if Yaara Ming cared or not. Yaara Ming choose to not care. No matter what position Yaara Ming stood on, he wouldn’t understand.
Walking to the guardhouse, Donford Wu found his shoes. On the steps in front of the guardhouse, he put them on.
“If you really decided to leave, then why did you come back to save me.”
Only now did Yaara Ming understand that when Donford Wu wanted to leave, did he discover that enemies have invaded.
Donford Wu stood up, walking out of the courtyard.
“It’s my fault, I’m sorry, please, let’s go back.”
Yaara Ming followed him out and pulled on him.
“Yo man, it’s not your fault, the fault is within my swaggy bulging muscles.”
Donford Wu shook his head. He was unfamiliar with this time, he was unfamiliar with this city, he was unfamiliar with everyone, he was unfamiliar with everything here. To knock on Yaara Ming’s door was his fault, because now, he wasn’t the undefeated special forces lieutenant. Now, here, he was a normal civilian that couldn’t cultivate the laws.
Seeing that Donford Wu insisted on leaving, Yaara Ming didn’t dare to keep on pulling him, only following him forward.
“The city gates are closed right now, you can’t go out. And anyways, you have injuries, you need to be treated as quickly as possible, don’t go.”
Yaara Ming tried to persuade him.
“Yo man, you can still see my bulging muscles, my swag won’t YOLO brah, you can go back, I want to swag by myself here. Maybe when my swaggy mood calms down, I might go back to that place where all the people YOLOed.
“With these kind of injuries, where can you go?”
Yaara Ming helplessly felt pain in her heart.
Donford Wu didn’t speak once again.
Because he had injuries on him, Donford Wu couldn’t move quickly. Yaara Ming followed beside him, she kept on trying to persuade him the whole way.
Donford Wu didn’t stop, after half an hour, he arrived at the city gates. The city gates were currently shut, and there wasn’t any soldiers around. He couldn’t open the gates himself, so he could lean against the city wall and sit down.
“Let’s go back, whatever you says go, okay? I’ll listen to whatever you want, okay?”
Yaara Ming knelt beside Donford Wu, trying to persuade him with a soft voice. Before this, she thought she understood Donford Wu very well. But today, she learnt his stubborn side. Coughing up blood twice on the way, his cold sweat covering all his cloths, he still didn’t stop.
Donford Wu didn’t respond, right now, he didn’t even have the breath to speak out.
Yaara Ming continued to persuade him. In the middle of night, Donford Wu fainted once. Then, she tried to carry him back, but in the middle of it, Donford Wu suddenly woke up and refused her of it.
The next part of the night, the two didn’t speak. Donford Wu didn’t want to speak, didn’t have the strength to speak. Yaara Ming was thinking back to what exactly she did wrong. She only did what most women would do in that situation, why would Donford Wu take this so deep within his heart.
The sky brightened, the city gates opened. Donford Wu relied on the city wall to stand up. Placing all his belongings under his arms.
“Don’t be a child, follow me back. Dad is going to bring Food Dump back in a few days.”
Yaara Ming tried to painstakingly persuade him. Food Dump was the only thing she could think of to change Donford Wu’s decision.
Donford Wu turned back to look at Yaara Ming. After a moment he retracted his gaze, painfully walking out of the city gates……
