171 Brutal Selection (1/2)

”Dongmei, are you okay?!” Wuxing shouted as he rushed up to Dongmei, kneeling in front of her while picking up one of her limp arms.

Dongmei didn't respond to him, looking at his face with an empty look. Her eyes were half-closed, her unfocused gaze staring at nothing in particular. Wuxing immediately got worried, feeling that her arms also had no strength in them as if she was totally unconscious.

”Scarlet, tell me what happened,” Wuxing quickly asked as he reached out to Dongmei's face, holding onto it gently as he started checking her pulse.

Her heart was beating steadily, without much disruption and her breaths were slow but regular. Although that made him sigh in relief, something had to be wrong with Dongmei to lead her into that state.

”I don't…” Scarlet replied anxiously, not knowing what to do. ”She was sitting with her eyes closed when she suddenly snapped them open before going back to the state you see her now. Nothing else happened…”

'Is she okay?' Wuxing questioned in his mind, but Devil Face didn't help him much. 'I'm not sure. Everyone behaves differently during their evolution. It's best to wait and see.'

”Dongmei, can you hear me?” Wuxing asked as he looked into her eyes, caressing on her cheek with his thumb.

He couldn't even imagine how would he feel if something happened to Dongmei during the evolution right now. He didn't want to think about it. ”She has to be well. There is no other option…” Wuxing muttered to himself and waited for any signs coming from Dongmei.

Thankfully, he didn't need to wait for too long. Dongmei eyelids trembled and in the next few seconds, her gaze started regaining focus. She moved with her hands and grabbed onto Wuxing arms for support.

Wuxing couldn't be more than happy to see her eyes locked with his own and her lips slowly curve into a smile.

”I'm back… Did you wait long…?” Dongmei asked weakly while squeezing his arms and Wuxing couldn't help himself, leaning over to kiss her gently on the lips.

Although a bit dry, they were still soft and warm just as he remembered. ”You scared me…” Wuxing muttered, their noses rubbing against one another. ”How are you feeling?”

”I feel better after the kiss… I want one more…” Dongmei asked shamelessly and Wuxing was happy to accommodate her request, closing in once again, leaving another love bite.

Even though Wuxing would love to continue, he pulled away and took out a whole bar of chocolate. ”Here, you need to eat something. I bet you are tired,” Wuxing said sweetly as he unwrapped the chocolate and feed her piece by piece.

Dongmei didn't complain and ate whatever he gave her before washing it down with water. ”We already spent too much time here. Shall we move? I'm fine already,” Dongmei informed, seeing that Wuxing was still worried about her.

”Are you really fine? How was your evolution? Can you stand up?” Wuxing questioned in quick succession as he stood up and held her hands for support.

”Mhmm, I'm really fine. My mind was really exchaused but the chocolate helped a lot.” Dongmei assured him as she let him lift her up. ”About the ability, I think it's really useful for us. It's called Ultimate Vision.”

”It's okay, you can tell me about it as we walk. We have time,” Wuxing said softly with affection and they finally turned to Scarlet who has been silent the whole time.

”Thank you for taking care of me,” Dongmei acknowledged as she pat Scarlet with her free hand. Even though she didn't help much, at least she tried.
