Because Liu Zhixi was too shocked, she did not look at Su Shanshan, who was beside Gu Jincheng. Instead, she asked carefully, "Brother Gu Jincheng, what happened to your leg?"
Gu Jincheng sat in the wheelchair and leaned weakly on Su Shanshan''s arm. He said, "I''ll be a cripple in the future. I''d have to trouble Miss Su Shanshan to take care of me."
A smile shed across Su Shanshan''s eyes, but she was willing to cooperate with him. A proud expression appeared on her face. She stroked his head and said, "As long as you listen to me, I won''t let anything happen to you."
Gu Jincheng nodded with a smile.
The scene of the two of them getting along harmoniously made Liu Zhixi take a step back. She pointed at Su Shanshan and shouted, "It''s all your fault. Gu Jincheng got injured the moment you returned. You''re a jinx."
Su Shanshan looked at her coldly and swung the Tang sword at her. She did not use her full strength. It was just a warning. She hated being used like this.
Liu Zhixi suddenly took a step back and fell to the ground. She looked at Gu Jincheng in the wheelchair and said habitually, "Brother Gu Jincheng, you said that you would protect me, but she''s bullying me."
This was the promise she received after saving Gu Jincheng. Although Gu Jincheng never sumbed to her seduction, he had protected her.
She thought that Gu Jincheng would be the same as before. Unexpectedly, this time he said, "I''m sorry, I have to depend on Miss Su Shanshan to protect me now. I don''t have the energy to protect another person."
Liu Zhixi looked at him in disbelief. Is he going back on his word?
"Besides, was what happened back then really as you said?" Did you really save me from the zombies?" Gu Jincheng suddenly asked.
Liu Zhixi''s expression changed. She looked at Gu Jincheng''s eyes and guessed that he had regained his memory.
Gu Jincheng''s eyes were dark and deep. Liu Zhixi could not tell what he was thinking. She smiled to hide her feelings and said, "Of course. Back then, I—"<sub> </sub>
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Jincheng left with Su Shanshan. Of course, he was still in a wheelchair.
This time, Su Shanshan did not have to hide when she walked to the center of the Southwestern base. She walked openly on the road. Because Gu Jincheng was by her side, no guards blocked her way or checked her identity. Gu Jincheng''s face was the best proof of her identity.
On the way, she met Gu Zhao, who came rushing over. Su Shanshan greeted him happily, "Gu Zhao!"
When Gu Zhao heard her voice, he instinctively stopped in his tracks. Before he could even tell whose voice it was, his brain had already issued a stop order to his legs.
He looked at Su Shanshan''s face and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she had not changed. Then he saw Gu Jincheng in a wheelchair. He was shocked and quickly asked, "Boss, what happened to your leg?"
Gu Jincheng did not know if he had noticed his gaze just now, but his eyes were still deep. "I''m fine. Where are you going?"
Only then did Gu Zhao remember. He raised the document in his hand and showed it to Gu Jincheng. "There''s a problem in the mission hall. I''ll go take a look now."
"Go ahead." Gu Jincheng nodded and let him go.
When Gu Zhao passed by Su Shanshan, he could not help but nce at her. He had clearly decided to endure by Gu Jincheng''s side, but he had overestimated his endurance limit.
After he left, Gu Jincheng asked casually, "You knew Gu Zhao from before?"
Su Shanshan did not understand what he meant. She nodded and said, "Yes, you sent him to be my personal bodyguard."
