Pei Yao felt that Chi Jiao looked very tired.
Her heart ached a little.
A girl of Chi Jiao's age and family background was so good. She should be carefree, but she carried a lot of things that she shouldn't have.
She was only eighteen years old, but she had to shoulder such a huge responsibility.
"Jiaojiao, it's better to go to the hospital for a checkup," Pei Yao said gently.
Chi Jiao shook her head gently. "I know my own body well. I just want to go home now."
She was a little tired now and urgently needed to return to her safe haven to seek comfort.
Quan Jue was at home.
She only wanted to see him now, lie in his arms, and have a good sleep.
Pei Yao and Huo Chen looked at each other and saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Alright, then. Officer Huo, please send Jiaojiao home first." Pei Yao said.
Huo Chen nodded and started the car.
For the rest of the journey, Chi Jiao didn't say anything. Instead, she leaned her head against the car window and stared out with her big eyes.
Pei Yao and Huo Chen would look at her worriedly from time to time.
The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Chi residence. Chi Jiao alighted and bent down to say to them, "Officer Huo, Sister Pei Yao, be careful on the road."
"Have a good rest for the next two days," Pei Yao said worriedly.
Chi Jiao nodded and waved at Pei Yao and Huo Chen before turning to enter the house.
Before going on a mission, Chi Jiao had told Quan Jue that she had a mission today.
Therefore, after Quan Jue returned home, he waited for her in the living room.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't worried.
Quan Jue's heart was in his throat the entire time.
But in order not to interfere with Chi Jiao's mission, he didn't call her.
When he heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps in the entryway, Quan Jue immediately stood up and walked towards her.
Chi Jiao walked into the living room and threw herself into his arms when she saw him walking towards her.
"Brother Quan, hug ~"
The girl's coquettish voice carried a hint of fatigue.
Quan Jue immediately pulled her into his arms.
When he smelled the blood on her body, he lowered his head abruptly and looked at the person in his arms.
There were dried blood stains on Chi Jiao's clothes and hands.
"You're injured?" The young man's voice was trembling.
"No, this blood is Zou Xingxing's." Chi Jiao buried her face in Quan Jue's chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. She whispered, "She died to protect me. I never thought that she would die to protect me. "
Zou Xingxing would choose to fight against She Qi for her, which was really unexpected.
Although Chi Jiao's tone was very calm, Quan Jue could still imagine how dangerous she had been on this mission.
He gently patted Chi Jiao's back.
"Go back to your room to take a shower and change your clothes, okay?" His tone was as if he was coaxing a child.
Chi Jiao nodded gently.
Quan Jue carried Chi Jiao horizontally and walked upstairs to the room.
When they reached the room, Quan Jue placed Chi Jiao on the sofa and went to the bathroom to fill the tub with hot water.
After he went to the bathroom, Chi Jiao took out a scale from her pocket.
Its scales had already become dull and lifeless, looking like dead fish scales.
When she was at Mount Li, her god-grandfather had given her a book that detailed the evolution of ability users.
