Qian Xu considered it for a while then comforted her: "I can only say that this method is not suitable for you."
Lorraine drooped her head dispiritedly and took off her goggles. She took off weapon belt and checked the most painful wounds to find that some of the wounds were badly injured and needed to be sutured.
She took out disinfectant spray and suturing tools from her medicine bag. Qian Xu took it when she was about to do it herself, "Let me do it."
Lorraine had loads in her mind. In medical school, she was accustomed to no gender difference between men and women. Without even thinking about it, she immediately lay down on the rock and lifted her clothes to reveal a flat and tight abdomen.
Qian Xu composed himself and helped her stitch up the wound while chatting with her: "Most people will choose long-range attack weapons when hunting beasts. How come you choose a short dagger for close attacks?"
"I don't know, maybe intuition. When Su Er asked what weapon I planned to use, I just picked this. Is it because I chose the wrong weapon that made the advancement not succeed?"
"No. The Rockwind beast has two wings. Any long-range weapon that failed to kill the Rockwind beast in the first attempt will be quickly brought closer to a close combat. The weapon you chose was right, and the combat method was also right. The Rockwind beast knew that if it continued to fight, it was also difficult to escape death, so it decided to withdraw. After all, for the beast, only food and reproduction are worth fighting with life and death."
"The weapon is right. The combat method is also right...It can't be just intuition, right?" Lorraine felt that there was too much coincidence.
"Intuition is actually a subconscious judgment. If it's not your current memory, it's your past memory. With your previous strength, it was impossible for yourself to fight the Rockwind beast. It can only be that you have seen other people fight. Su Er and Su Qi do not know your past memories. The advancement mission set for you was not suitable for you. It was impossible to push your potential limitation."
"You mean... I not only failed this time, but completely failed?"
Qian Xu gently comforted her: "There is still a chance, maybe next time."
When would it be next time? Lorraine closed her eyes sadly.
Until now, her lost memories would only give her some easter egg from time to time, and never really caused her difficulty. She never thought that she would be inexplicably ruthlessly buried by her past self.
After treating her wound, Qian Xu said, "Let's go back to the cave then leave rock forest after the storm."
"Um."
It didn't mean anything to stay any longer. Lorraine replied sadly and tried to stand up.
Qian Xu pushed her down: "Your wound has just been stitched up. Now don't exert yourself to prevent it from splitting open."
He crouched down in front of her: "I will carry you back."
Lorraine did not refuse. She obediently leaned on Qian Xu's back and hugged his neck.
Qian Xu steadily jumped off the rock with her on his back and walked towards the cave.
Lorraine recalled that he specially rushed over to the Big Twin Moon and took care through the whole journey just to help her improve her strength to level A, but now...
She felt very sad in her heart and whispered, "I let you down."
Qian Xu smiled and said, "I'm not disappointed. Should have said that you always surprise me..."
"Surprise?"
"Your fight with the Rockwind beast was very brilliant. It's my first time for me to see someone use the Rockwind beast strength to subdue the Rockwind beast itself. As a B-level strongman who can force a robust Rockwind beast to withdraw, you should be proud of yourself, but..."
"But what?" Lorraine asked nervously.
"But watching you fight, my heart kept filling with fear. For the first time I found that my heart is not strong enough."
Lorraine felt sweet in her heart. Shadow of her failed strength advancement suddenly vanished like smoke in thin air. She smiled like a flower and suddenly kissed Qian Xu.
Qian Xu's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Lorraine towed her voice and said, "Your heart seems to weaken easily…"
She moved closer to Qian Xu's cheek, like chick pecking rice, kissed Qian Xu tenderly from his cheek to ear, and from his ear to his neck.
"Xiao Xun, stop joking. We are in a hurry." Qian Xu's footsteps were very steady without being disarrayed, but his cheeks and ears slowly turned red.
"Oops, face reddened!" Lorraine smiled and touched his face and ears.
Regardless of what time, Qian Xu always looked calm and leisurely. Even going out together for a date he seemed to be particularly calm and collected as if very experienced, but occasionally, some inadvertent small actions revealed that he was indeed a rookie.
Qian Xu laughed at himself helplessly: "I ran into a cheeky girlfriend who likes to behave indecently, no other choice that I had to be the one who's shy instead."
Lorraine smiled so wide that she could not see her eyes: "When we return to Alicata, we then leave Odin. When we find a suitable planet, we then settle down. When your illness is cured, then we get married, is it good?"
Qian Xu was taken aback for a moment: "Are you proposing to me?"
"Um!"
Qian Xu sighed: "I didn't expect a woman to propose to me. You are the first and definitely the last."
"Do you accept it or not?" Lorraine twisted Qian Xu's ears like 'if you dare not to agree, let's see how I would deal with you'.
Qian Xu smiled and said, "Okay!"
