87: Chapter 87 I've Always Been Behind You

Mu Qingci shook his head. "There is nothing to praise. I only did what a captain should do."

He looked at Ye Guyi, and as soon as their eyes met, she shyly lowered her head.

"You all should go out. Guyi needs rest."

Upon hearing this, the others walked out one after another.

Just when Mu Qingci was also preparing to leave, he was pulled back by Ye Guyi. "Keep me company, okay?"

Ye Guyi's voice was weak, appearing quite pitiful.

Mu Qingci nodded and stayed behind.

Mi Jia very sensibly closed the door, not disturbing Mu Qingci and Ye Guyi.

"Guyi, you could have left the field directly during the third match today. Why suffer like this?"

Mu Qingci still did not quite understand why Ye Guyi insisted on fighting the third match today.

Ye Guyi smiled. There was no regret on her face, only a sense of determination.

"I just wanted to share some of the burden for you, although I know you might not need me to."

Mu Qingci smiled.

He patted Ye Guyi's head. "You, oh you. I am the captain, and a captain should be indomitable. How could I need you all to share my burden?"

Mu Qingci looked at Ye Guyi and said with a serious expression, "Guyi, you must remember that I am your captain and your strongest backing. I am always behind you."

I am always behind you.

These words lingered in Ye Guyi's heart, unable to dissipate for a long time.

"Also." Mu Qingci's eyes became gentle. "I saved your life, so I won't allow you to be so reckless again, understand?"

Ye Guyi's eyes turned slightly red, and she nodded with a smile. "Understood, Captain Qingci!"

"Alright, I will help you sit up and help you recover from your injuries quickly."

Mu Qingci helped Ye Guyi up from the bed, and she sat up.

Ye Guyi was covered in bandages at this moment and wasn't wearing any clothes. When Mu Qingci lifted the quilt, he saw everything he should and shouldn't have seen.

"Ahem, Guyi, why don't you put on some clothes first?"

Mu Qingci's cheeks flushed slightly. Ye Guyi had a superb figure, and the scene from just a moment ago lingered in his mind, causing his Sword Heart to tremble.

This time, Ye Guyi was not as shy as before; instead, she teased Mu Qingci.

"Why is Captain Qingci shy? I am covered in injuries, so it is really inconvenient to put on clothes. Why don't you just overcome it?"

Helpless, Mu Qingci could only help Ye Guyi recover from her injuries like this.

He suppressed the urge to look and sat behind Ye Guyi.

His hands pressed against Ye Guyi's jade-like back.

Ye Guyi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she sat obediently on the bed, letting Mu Qingci treat her.

Mu Qingci's hands were pressed against Ye Guyi's back.

His left hand surged with water element Soul Power, and his right hand surged with Ultimate Light Soul Power.

The water element was beneficial for healing, while the Ultimate Light element was to resonate with Ye Guyi's Spirit.

"Do not resist the Soul Power I am inputting into your body."

Mu Qingci instructed, and then began the treatment.

He closed his eyes, partly to prevent himself from seeing things he shouldn't, and partly to better sense the situation inside Ye Guyi's body.

Two strands of Soul Power entered Ye Guyi's body together, wandering through her meridians.

A warmth like a spring breeze spread throughout Ye Guyi's entire body.

She closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying the treatment process.

The reason for Ye Guyi's coma was excessive blood loss. Therefore, she did not suffer any internal injuries; they were basically all external wounds. It was just that because there were so many, they accumulated and caused her to fall into a coma.

The water attribute Soul Power and light attribute Soul Power wandered inside Ye Guyi's body, healing her wounds from the inside out.

A Spirit Master's self-healing ability is very strong. The wounds Ye Guyi received in today's match had already scabbed over.

Under Mu Qingci's treatment, Ye Guyi only felt an itchy sensation coming from her wounds all over her body.

Unable to bear it, Ye Guyi couldn't help but tremble.

"Don't move!"

Mu Qingci changed the position of his hands, holding Ye Guyi's body to keep her from moving around.

But this change of position caused a problem.

Ye Guyi's cheeks instantly turned redder than a ripe apple.

Because Mu Qingci's hands were holding the area just below her armpits, which was... the position of her chest.

Mu Qingci only felt that his hands were holding two soft masses.

Since his eyes were closed, Mu Qingci didn't realize what it was, and even squeezed them with his hands.

"Guyi, you have a bit too much fat on your body. You should lose some weight."

This remark made Ye Guyi both shy and angry.

But since Mu Qingci was still treating her, she could only endure it.

A few minutes later, Mu Qingci released his hands and opened his eyes.

"Alright, the wounds on your body have mostly recovered. You can take off the bandages now. You look just like a mummy right now; it's too strange."

Mu Qingci noticed that Ye Guyi's face was red as if it were about to ripen, and asked with some confusion, "Guyi, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Guyi did not answer, but grabbed the quilt and covered her head. "Get out quickly! I need to change my clothes!"

"Oh, okay."

Mu Qingci had no intention of watching Ye Guyi change clothes, so he pushed the door open and walked out.

After Mu Qingci left, Ye Guyi revealed her head again.

Looking at the closed door, Ye Guyi grabbed the quilt with both hands and pinched it hard. "Odious Mu Qingci!"

She treated the quilt as Mu Qingci and pinched it fiercely.

"You blockhead, blockhead!!!"

A few minutes later, Ye Guyi finished dressing and went out, coming to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team's lounge. The teammates were all there, and so was Mu Qingci.

"Guyi, you recovered so quickly? Qingci is truly amazing!"

Meng Hongchen ran over and looked Ye Guyi up and down. After discovering that not a single wound remained, she exclaimed.

Looking at Meng Hongchen, Ye Guyi felt an inexplicable sense of sadness in her heart.

But then, she brushed the thoughts away and displayed a smile again. "Mm-hmm, Captain Qingci is amazing; he healed my injuries so easily."

That night, in Ye Guyi's room.

She just sat by the window, looking at the night sky outside, looking at the stars in the sky.

"Mom and Dad..."

Ye Guyi's voice was very soft, carrying a sense of sadness.

"I have finally met the boy who will be good to me and care about me, and I like him very much too."

Thinking of Mu Qingci, the corners of Ye Guyi's mouth curled up involuntarily.

"But he is too outstanding, and there are many girls who like him..."

Thinking of Meng Hongchen, Ye Guyi's eyes, which had originally held a smile, contained a few more traces of loneliness.

"Mom and Dad, do you think I can really be with him?"

Looking at the two brightest stars in the sky, Ye Guyi asked what she cared about in her heart.

But how could the stars answer her?

After a while, Ye Guyi left the window, returned to the bed, lay on her side looking out the window, and entered into a dream.

"Mom and Dad, goodnight. Qingci, goodnight."
