Grand Martial Aunt took a long time to bring dinner... four days to be exact.
What? I WASN'T COUNTING THE DAYS.... I was counting the hours OTZ
Sighing, I looked at junior brother's figure as he laid on the infirmary bed. As most cultivators were healthy unless something dramatic happens, junior brother was the only patient in the room. Turning back to the ground, I continued to circle it. Would it take four more days for me to see Grand Martial Aunt again...?
Crying? *Sob* I'm not crying...
It's not like I secretly fantasized about a budding relationship between Grand Martial Aunt and me... It's not like I've already secretly created our couple name... It's not like I've paid multiple disciples to paint me a picture of her in her different outfits...
"Senior brother?"
I heard his voice and immediately turned around, joy on my features. Junior brother is awake!
"You're awake, junior brother!"
"Yes. Can't you see that?" junior brother coughed into his hand as he struggled to stand up. I quickly got up to help him, easing him into a sitting up position. "Let me stand. I'm not that weak."
I flicked his forehead. "Don't be stupid, junior brother. You're weak right now. Just take it easy."
SHUT UP, SYSTEM!
"What's wrong, senior brother?"
"Wrong? HAHAHA," I laughed, my eyes darting from side-to-side. What's wrong is this d*mn fujoshi system of mine! "There's nothing wrong!"
Junior brother sent me a suspicious glance before he reclined back onto the pillows that I placed behind him. "How long was I asleep?"
"Five days."
"Five days!?!"
I nodded, my face serious. "You weren't even supposed to have survived."
Junior brother's face darkened, and he nodded in understanding. "I know. I felt the poison in my body." He looked out of the window, secretly clenching his fist. "But I couldn't just let her live."
"I understand," I soothingly patted junior brother's back the same way I would have done for my sister. "Some things happen for reasons that nobody knows why. You just have to accept it, junior brother."
Junior brother looked at me, his eyes raised in utter surprise. "Did you say something that actually makes sense, senior brother?"
Hey! I make sense ALL the d*mn time! I glared at him, and he broke out into laugh.
"I'm kidding, senior brother."
I pretended to jab at his wound, and he seriously jabbed into my waist.
GODD*MMIT JUNIOR BROTHER! THAT WAS A JOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEE.
