Beneath the Floating Base tower.
Wei Shi had only just opened the door to the mansion.
ย
He removed his coat and went to the bedroom. He looked down at his terminal and waited for the heat to dissipate the chill from outside.
Wu Jin had already been sleeping for 14 hours straight.
ย
Only a faint orange lamp was on in the bedroom. The light gently licked along the side of Wu Jinโs face and coated the small curls with a soft glow.
Wu Jinโs breathing was light and shallow, the rhythm even. He was well-behaved in his sleep, keeping to the edge of the big bed.
ย
Wei She approached. The fingers covered in gun calluses rubbed over the soft, small round face, โGet up first. Drink a bowl of porridge before going back to sleep.โ
Wu Jin was immersed in a deep sleep and wasnโt aware of him at all.
ย
Wei Shi dropped a punishing kiss on the beautiful sleeping traineeโs slightly parted lips. Wu Jin struggled briefly, then slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Wei Shi for a few seconds and finally seemed to respond, โWhat porridge, are there wraps…โ
Wei Shi: โSit up, Iโll bring it over.โ
ย
Wu Jin finally sat up and yawned widely. While waiting for Wei Shi to return to the bedroom, he threw himself back into the quilt.
โGet up, eat first.โ Wei Shi pulled the youth back out again, but Wu Jinโs eyes were closed, and there was no response.
ย
Wei Shi paused.
In the dim light, the man quickly measured Wu Jinโs pulse. The beat was a little sluggish, so he pulled back Wu Jinโs eyelids to take a look. The youthโs pupils were circled with an abnormal ring of grey.
ย
It was at this time that his terminal vibrated.
Researcher Songโs expression was heavy, โBrother Wei, Little Witchโs blood sample… thereโs a problem with the results. Are you able to wake him up?โ
ย
Wei Shiโs expression changed abruptly.
ย
10 minutes later, Wei Shi rushed into the tower ward with Wu Jin in his arms. The six doctors on duty came forward quickly, followed by Zhou Nan, whoโd just arrived by suspension car. All the blood infusion devices had been started up at the same time and were now on standby.
โBrother Wei.โ Zhou Nan took over Wu Jin and quickly prepared the tape, tubing, and pliers, โHand them over to me. Prepare for hemodialysis immediately.โ
ย
Wei Shiโs eyes were bloodshot. Other than Zhou Nan, nobody else dared to come forward and talk to him.
Zhou Nan sighed.

โIn the past 24 hours, Little Witch was given two injections. A N-type memory agent and a large amount of MHCC. Little Witch is resistant to both drugs, butโโโ Researcher Song took a deep breath, โThe combination of the two drugs conflict with each other.โ
ย
Inside the ward, the dialysis machine chirped, and the power was turned up to the maximum.
Wei Shi suddenly moved his line of sight away from Wu Jinโs body. His voice was hoarse, โIt was only just discovered?โ
ย
Researcher Song explained, โThere is no ingredient list for N-type memory drugs in Floating City, and present, we donโt know what caused the poisoning, which is why there wasnโt an advanceโโโ
Wei Shi cut straight to the point, โOther than the ingredients, what else is needed.โ
Researcher Song looked steadily into Wei Shiโs eyes, โShao Yuโs specific drug dosage and the time of the injection.โ
ย
Steps sounded out quickly along the corridor. Mao Dongqing followed behind Wei Shi and quickly departed. Shao Yuโs screams soon rang out from the bottom of the Floating Tower.
On the other side, the Duchess in the video call tried to argue but finally handed over the prescription to Wei Shi after being threatened with the chip.
ย
The research team received the formula.
The virtual intelligence AI calculated at its maximum speed, and Researcher Song was sweating constantly. The dialysis results were not ideal, and Zhou Nan urged for more data for the fourth time.
Wei Shi stepped into the dungeon in a domineering manner.
Mao Dongqingโs expression was heavy, โShao Yuโs emotional lock has broken down, and he canโt provide any valuable clues despite the interrogation…โ
ย
Wei Shi interrupted him indifferently, โUse his iris, fingerprints, and genetic sequence. Obtain all the rights for surveillance access for the star ship to the Imperial capital and the Dukeโs manor.โ
Arjun jumped up abruptly, โRight, I didnโt think of itโโโ
ย
A quarter of an hour later, Arjun quickly called over the terminal, โThe surveillance videos are here! The N-type memory drug was injected at 3:35AM, standard time zone, and the MHCC drug was injected at 14:00PMโโโ
Researcher Song looked at the data that finally fit together and beamed, โQuick, send it to Dr. Zhou. The conflicting component is an adrenergic beta blocker, which can block emotions, memories, and cognition for the injected person…โ
ย
On the hospital bed.
After undergoing dialysis for nearly 40 minutes, Wu Jin, whoโd barely improved at all, was finally injected with anti-blocking drugs.
ย
Wei Shiโs eyebrows twisted as he watched the thick needle enter Wu Jinโs back.
Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
ย
The blood oxygen levels finally started to rise.
The monitor lights turned from red to orange, and someone braved the tension to look over at Wu Jinโs bed. The invisible death god whoโd hovered in the ward had finally left.
ย
Two doctors remained on duty to oversee the ward. Zhou Nan nodded to Wei Shi, then stepped out to talk to Researcher Song. At this moment, both their backs were wet with sweat.
ย
Before going out, Zhou Nan saw Wei Shi sitting down on the metal chair. He bent down slowly, and his forehead touched the back of the youthโs cold hands.
It was like a sinner confessing in church.
ย
Wu Jin slept quietly on the hospital bed.
Wei Shi measured his pulse, matching his breathing with the youthโs.
ย
The door closed gently.
The lighting in the corridor was harsh and white. Outside the ward, Zhou Nan frowned, โItโs been almost 36 hours since Brother Wei rested.โ
Researcher Song walked quietly to the terrace and lit up a cigarette, โSame for Little Witch.โ
ย
Zhou Nan was stunned.
After smoking, Researcher Song sorted out all the information on the case and showed Zhou Nan the brain wave chart, โYou started in medical sciences. When you look at this, you first filter out the noise, then read the beta waves, the morphine levels in the brain, and the sleep waves.โ
โIโm different. I majored in biological science. When I entered the R-Code Base as a researcher, my first lesson was in the stress responses of brain waves when drugged.โ
ย
Researcher Song pointed to two peaks in the chart, โLittle Witch is resistant to N-type memory drugs. However, drug resistance is something that exists in the immune system, not the mind. The consciousness itself is more fragile than the nerve centers that are the carriers.โ
โLittle Witch never slept; he was just caught up by nightmares. I didnโt discover it before, partly because Little Witch didnโt tell Brother Wei about it.โ
ย
Zhou Nan: โWhat kind of dream is he having?โ
Researcher Song: โWhat kind of dream could it be? Itโs probably about the R-Code Base. That tube of injections should have brought back all of his lost memories. Compared with having this kind of dream, itโs better to stay awake.โ
ย
The windows in the laboratory were slightly open. The night breeze swirled around them.
ย
The two of them leaned lazily against the window sill. Zhou Nan took a cigarette from Researcher Song and slowly breathed out a smoke ring, โNot going back to sleep?โ
Researcher Song shook his head, โYeah, Iโll stay awake overnight. Isnโt it the Autumn Festival tomorrow?โ
Zhou Nan nodded and squinted at him, โWhat made you apply to the R-Code Base back then?โ
Researcher Song spread his hands, โI didnโt go to the base; I was a member of the technical staff. I wasnโt directly under the R-Code Base and was affiliated to the Federal Research Institute. At the time, I had just graduated and had written a few popular articles. The annual salary that R-Code offered me was the highest, so I went there.โ
ย
Zhou Nan: โYo, then how did you switch sides and end up here.โ
Researcher Song sighed emotionally, โBrother Wei hacked the entire scientific research building and smashed in through the window. The glass scattered all over the ground, and I was just wondering about who this badass guy was when he held me at knifepoint and forced me to come to Floating City the very next second. How could I dare not come?!โ
ย
โOnly after coming here with him did I learn that the research topic that I was given, the โsimulated fit genetic modification programโ, wasnโt used on death penalty criminals at all. After that, I treated more of the genetically modified people, and didnโt want to go back anymore. Iโve been with Brother Wei and stayed in the city for six years now.โ
โNow, Iโve moved my old man over to live with me too. Heโs in his late 70โs, almost 80. He wears a superman mask and buys vegetables outside every day, and things are good. Other than how Floating City owes me a girlfriend, I donโt have regrets about anything else.โ
ย
Researcher Song dusted off his cigarette, โIn those years in the Federation, all the projects I handled actually threatened human life. As for me now, Iโve harmed others with my research, so Iโm now researching as atonement.โ
Zhou Nan kicked him, โScrew you. You wear a plaid shirt and white coat every day. Even if they start distributing girlfriends, you should let me go first. How could it be your turn?โ
ย
Outside the window, the sun rose slowly from the mist.
ย
On the day of the Autumn Festival, the city woke up earlier than usual.
A large, large batch of tourists poured in from the Star Harbor, and another batch of 50,000 imported flamingos arrived and ran around the city. It seemed that the Tourism Bureau planned to continue long-term breeding of these birds.
ย
According to custom, the Autumn Festival fair would only start at noon, but it was already crowded early in the morning.
Two kilometers away from the Floating Military Base, a group of construction workers were in full swing at a certain weapon armory. The logo on their coats proclaimed them to be staff from a โcertain wedding planning companyโ.
The companyโs unnamed planning manager revealed that this was the most wonderful proposal order heโd ever received, bar none.
ย
Floating Base hospital ward.
The fresh morning breeze was drawn in through the window. After just one night, Wei Shi was already able to read the monitoring panel for the equipment, change the drip, and find the blood vessels.
According to the attending doctor, the hand that had held guns before was more accurate than the medical instruments.
ย
Wu Jin lay there quietly, curled up on the bed with his eyes closed.
Wei Shi read a book nearby, and there was an occasional rustling sound.
ย
โBrother Wei still hasnโt slept?โ Someone asked in a quiet voice from outside the door.
โHe should be waiting for Mr Wu to wake up.โ
ย
The sun rose slowly.
Wei Shi opened up a video tutorial and was very serious as he learned how to massage a bedridden patientโs entire body.
Then, he dismissed all the medical staff and pinched the rabbit for half an hour.
Im not crying… im not crying its just that my eyes are kinda sweaty… holy fuck this hurts so much Little Witch you can do it TT!!!! Thanks for the chapter

Poor Wu Jin! Wei Shi is eating tofu!
Thanks for the chapter! I refuse to believe that the proposal wonโt go as planned! You can do it, Wu Jin!
[Before going out, Zhou Nan saw Wei Shi sitting down on the metal chair. He bent down slowly, and his forehead touched the back of the youthโs cold hands.
It was like a sinner confessing in church.]
This was so beautiful, best part of the chapter don’t @ me
Also, poor Little Witch, even after being tormented so much, he can’t even get proper rest i-i (Also, I wonder if the proposal will still happen as planned)
Thanks for the chapter! ๐
My snot is dripping off… But Big Boss is still so good!! Little Witch is also very good!!! I’ll just softly cry in the corner.
Thank you for the chapter!!!
Little Witch please wake up!
Thank you for the chapter!

Wei Shiii sleeep ;w;
And this cm fr an emotionally lock man.Sighh thinking back of how when WeiShi was a teen
Their love is not only steamy or funny, they’re also sweet and tender ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ GET MARRIED!!!!
Author is totally right. A doctor is not a research scientist. There is a big difference in their studies, experience, knowledge base and priorities . Even their approach and philosophy regarding science would probably be different. I really like this author’s meticulous work and attention to details.
This is so lovely and sad at the same time๐ญ
Caught in his nightmarish memories, poor Wu Jin ๐ญ I really hope he wakes up and is able to enjoy Wei Shi’s proposal.
Thanks for the chapter โค
A large, large batch of tourists poured in from the Star Harbor, and another batch of 50,000 imported flamingos arrived and ran around the city.
Amidst all the stiffling environment, when this line appeared I snorted while crying ๐. Arjun and his pink flamingos saga continue.
I am glad all had passed.
Shao Yu nearly murdered Wu Jin yes it was attempted murder ugh ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
I had a hunch he will never be the same again? Will he really be a human shaped weapon in the next 2 rounds ๐ค
This kinda hurt.. the person who supposed to accept the proposal of armory is in a coma and no hint of waking up soon ๐ญ๐ญ damn that duchess the chip should have been activated and she suffer all the pain the genetically modified people especially her son experienced
