[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch130 - Looking for a Friend

When Song Xuanhe woke up, he found himself lying on a bed in an infirmary.

Before he had the time to examine the crude infirmary and figure out where this place was, he noticed Xiao Yuanmu, who was lying by his hand, fast asleep. His long eyelashes covered the dark circles under his eyes and trembled slightly whenever he breathed. He didn't seem to be sleeping soundly, but he seemed a little softer than when he was awake.

The System's voice came through: [Your body's condition isn't looking good. You've been shot in the thigh and abdomen. Luckily, because the bullet had gone straight through, the surgery was very successful. Most importantly, the surgeon who Xiao Yuanmu had brought was one of the top 100 surgeons in the world. That was why the surgery went successfully without any complications despite the crude circumstances.]

His thigh and abdomen throbbed with pain. Song Xuanhe asked: [When did Xiao Yuanmu arrive?]

【Fifteen hours ago.] The System said: [But according to what I know, he must have encountered many obstacles trying to fly directly here from America. Actually, he had first landed in T Country and then took a car here. If we were to include the time it had taken to prepare for the trip, he probably hadn't slept for thirty-two hours.]

[Furthermore,] the System said: [Although there are no signs of complications yet, the facilities here are unsuitable for your recovery. If you continue to stay here, there's a 96.67% chance that your wounds will become infected. You're in great danger.]

[How dangerous?] Song Xuanhe tilted his head to the side, peering down at Xiao Yuanmu's sleeping visage. He sounded absent-minded like he didn't really care about his body's situation.

[Extremely dangerous!] The System said: [Let me remind you: regardless of whether you choose to go back to your original world or stay here, you only have this one body. If you were to lose the ability to walk in the future because of your infection, you will remain crippled even if you return to your original world.]

[Is Mohammad okay?] Song Xuanhe asked after a brief period of silence: [And, what about the rest of the people who had been protecting me?]

The System didn't want to reply but still did so in the end: [They're fine.]

It didn't want to leave things at that and added: [Your condition is the gravest.]

[Don't worry.] Song Xuanhe said: [It doesn't really hurt.]

【Who cares if you think it hurts or not?!] The System shouted: [...Didn't you used to fear pain?]

Song Xuanhe's gaze was focused on Xiao Yuanmu, and his response was perfunctory: [Mn.]

【The anaesthesia has already worn off. Do you really not feel any pain?】

Song Xuanhe seemed to think of something. The light in his eyes darkened for a second before the corner of his lips rose: [You're a system, so you probably don't know this, but a minor wound hurts more than a major wound.]

[ I am a system, so I can monitor your pain perception. My data is also comprehensive.] The System said: [There's no research that says a minor wound hurts more than a major wound. The larger the wound, the deeper the injury, the more painful....] [Well, I guess it's just different for each person.] When Song Xuanhe saw Xiao Yuanmu's long eyelashes fluttering, he hushed: [Xiao Yuanmu's awake.]

Indeed, a second later, Xiao Yuanmu opened his eyes.

【It's not like he can hear our conversation.] Although it had said that, it still fell silent, Song Xuanhe smiled, "You're awake?"

Xiao Yuanmu sat up. A second later, the drowsiness from his eyes dissipated, leaving behind a bright gaze. There was a biting chill constrained within his pitch-black pupils, however. "Do your injuries hurt?"
