Leader of the Ark Raiders

She rushed over and hugged Shen Cangye, tears wet Shen Cangye's clothes.

Shen Cangye was stunned for a moment, and hugged her back.

The girl's body trembled violently, and she had almost no strength in her whole body.

Shen Cangye had to hug her hard so that she would not fall to the ground.

"Don't, don't scare me, don't scare me..." Wendy could hardly utter a complete sentence, "Don't disappear like that again..."

"I'm back, I'm back." Shen Cangye comforted her softly in her ear.

Wendy gasped for breath.

Great panic and worry cluttered her mind.

She just tightly grasped Shen Cangye's skirt.

"Don't leave me, don't leave me again, don't leave me..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, her face was pale, and she gradually lost strength in holding Shen Cangye's knuckles.

401. The author's fungus is super long today!

"Wendy? Wendy—"

Shen Cangye noticed that the Agor girl's body was gradually losing strength, and she slipped from his embrace.

He quickly put her down and checked her.

Soon, Shen Cangye guessed Wendy's situation——

Respiratory alkalosis.

This is caused by hyperventilation in extreme panic.

Shen Cangye ran towards the bag Wendy put aside.

He hurriedly found a paper bag, ran over and covered her face with the paper bag.

Reinhaling the carbon dioxide she exhaled made Hai Long girl's complexion slightly return to rosy.

But she still couldn't exert all her strength.

"We're going back, we'll be home right away." Shen Cangye comforted the weak Agoer softly.

"Don't—don't leave me..." Wendy fainted in a trance.

Even so, her hand was still tightly grasping Shen Cangye's fingers.

It seemed as if all the strength of his body was poured into it, and he would disappear if he let go of his hand a little.

It was early morning when we returned to the student dormitory.

Shen Cangye thought that Wendy was only scared by today's battle, and she might recover after a while.

however.

Shen Cangye realized something was wrong when he woke up the next day.

Wendy curled up on the bed, staring at the opposite wall in a daze.

She doesn't eat and doesn't say a word.

Even in the middle of the night, even if the tiredness was already written on her face, she would not close her eyes.

Shen Cangye had never seen Wendy in this state.

In his impression, Wendy was always rational and calm, and would not—or seldom let herself fall into such a situation.

—but now.

This went on for a whole week.

She did almost nothing, just stared at the wall opposite the bed in a daze.

until the evening of the seventh day.

Shen Cangye felt that he could no longer sit idly by.

He went straight to Wendy's room.

The Agor girl still hugged her knees, staring fixedly at the wall.

"Wendy." Shen Cangye sat down beside the bed, "Is there something you didn't tell me?"

Wendy looked at him blankly.

She wrinkled her nose, her eyes were red.

"What's wrong? Tell me." Shen Cangye said.

"I don't know why this happened, I don't know..." Wendy grabbed her pants and said incoherently, "I always feel that it's good to be alone, I don't want to trouble you... This is my own business, I don't want to affect you, but I—but I..."

She blinked hard.

But big drops of tears still welled up.

"I don't know what's going on with me, I'm sick—I'm really sick, I can't process this emotion... What should I do? I—"

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Cangye hugged the girl, "Tell me, you have to tell me what happened! Tell me, what happened that day before I came?"

"I...I——I saw Mariana." Wendy burst into tears.

Shen Cangye's heart skipped a beat.

This is a child from the orphanage, the subject of Wendy's first attempt at bionic prosthetics, and her friend.

"Marianna, she..."

Wendy's body trembled.

"She was transformed by Obaid...into a monster..." she cried.

Shen Cangye was speechless.

A former friend turned into a monster.

Shen Cangye couldn't imagine what a severe blow Wendy had experienced.

Wendy pinched Shen Cangye's skirt tightly, "She is in pain, she shed tears when she saw me..."

Hailong girl breathed out, as if she wanted to confide everything in her chest, "I don't know why Obaid still kept her life, maybe he wanted to use this to force me to join, maybe it was just a personal bad taste, I never imagined how much Mariana would suffer..."

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Wendy bit her lower lip resignedly, until she tasted the rust in the grinding of depression and fear.

Her nails dug deep into her palm.

Blood trickled down her palm.

"If I hadn't given her those bionic prosthetics, she wouldn't have come to the University of Catalona, ​​she wouldn't have met Obaid, and everything that followed... It was all my fault, it was— "

"Wendy!" Shen Cangye grabbed the girl's hand and forced her to open it, "Listen to me."

He said: "This can be anyone's fault, but it's not your fault! Without you, she might just spend her life in an orphanage!"

"She will hate me! Mariana, she will hate me!"

"The only thing she won't hate is you! Without you, she wouldn't see the wonder of the world!" Shen Cangye said, "You didn't do anything wrong! It's just because she met that devil, Obaid !"

"But I killed her! It's all my fault..."

Hai Long girl fell on Shen Cangye's shoulder, weeping uncontrollably.

They argue.

It's more just Wendy talking unilaterally.

She cried and passed out many times.

When she woke up, Shen Cangye whispered in her ear to comfort her.

They talked a lot.

Until the voices of both of them became hoarse.

Shen Cangye himself didn't know how much time had passed.

Maybe three hours... four hours.

After venting uncontrollably, Wendy finally fell asleep.

So Shen Cangye slowly laid her body flat on the bed, and sat aside.

But only 10 minutes later, Wendy opened her eyes again in horror.

Shen Cangye was sitting on the edge of her bed and taking a nap, the feeling of his hand being grasped suddenly woke him up, "Wendy?"

Girl Hailong's palms were full of sweat.

She regained her composure and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for waking you up."

"I thought you were asleep." Shen Cangye said.

Wendy took a deep breath.

She was so sorry for her completely uncontrollable crying today.

However, after venting, her mood stabilized a little.

She lowered her eyes and said, "I can't close my eyes. When I close my eyes, all I see is Marianne's face. The dreams I have are all horrible nightmares. I can't fall asleep..."

Her brows were full of tiredness, but she didn't dare to close her eyes at all.

"I said it wasn't your fault." Shen Cangye said.

"I...I don't know." Wendy clenched her fists.

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Shen Cangye gently squeezed her hand.

Wendy shook her head.

After struggling in her heart for a while, she pushed Shen Cangye away again, "Dr. Shen, you are also very tired, don't stay with me anymore, I'm fine, go and rest."

Shen Cangye sighed.

He sat down on Xiao Hailong's bed without saying a word.

"Dr. Shen?" Wendy was startled

"You don't think I'm dirty?" Shen Cangye said, "Can I sleep in your bed?"

"Yes." Wendy said subconsciously, "But..."

She didn't know what Shen Cangye was going to do.

Shen Cangye lay down beside her, and pulled her into his arms, "Well, let's sleep like this."

402. You Decorate Other People's Dreams

"What... what?" Wendy was taken aback.

A reassuring breath suddenly enveloped the whole body.

Xiao Hailong hugged Shen Cangye's back subconsciously, with the other hand on his chest, tightly clutching his skirt.

"Go to sleep." Shen Cangye said, "I'm right here, you're safe, do you understand?"

"Hmm..." Wendy closed her eyes with an inexplicable tiredness.

In this reassuring embrace, the horrible images of those nightmares seemed to disappear.

After a few seconds, she opened her eyes again with a little uneasiness.

Just met Shen Cangye's dark eyes.

"Go to sleep." Shen Cangye said again, "You are safe."

He hugged her a little tighter and said softly, "Good night."

"Good night." Wendy trembled, and tried to close her eyes again.

Gradually, she loosened her grip on his skirt slowly, her frowning brows relaxed, and she really fell into a deep sleep without nightmares.

Long-term exhaustion and stagnation have been given a short rest.
