"...Bronya."
-
Jinyun looked at the ragged, bruised girl in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
When modifying the background story, you should be a little more gentle.
The little girl is covered in wounds, it makes me sad just looking at her.
Unlike Xiao Jingliu who was born in "Eden", when creating Bronya, Jinyun copied part of the background settings of the original Honkai Impact 3rd, so Bronya's birthplace was not in Eden.
The time when he met Bronya was exactly the plot point in the original work when Bronya assassinated Cocolia, the executor of the Anti-Entropy Organization.
According to the original work, Bronya, who failed in the assassination, would be taken to an orphanage by Cocolia and then meet Seele.
However, in the revised version, the content and characters are very different from the original.
Jinyun is here to play and develop, not to follow the story.
If he wants to follow the original story, he might as well download the game and create a new account to play it again.
"Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you."
While Jinyun was talking to calm Bronya down, he opened the status bar to check her current situation.
[Satisfaction: 2/100 (burning intestines with hunger)]
[Mood value: 0/100 (burning heart with fire)]
[Health value: 10/100 (dying)]
[Bond value: 0 (Never met before)]
[Emotions: hungry, weak, confused, uneasy, alert]
Gee tut.
It’s much worse than the original Xiaojingliu, and this is the state I have dealt with urgently with props.
This crappy game is too real. Bronya can’t eat while in a coma. Jinyun almost thought that Bronya would die.
I really deserve to die.
Resisting the urge to slap himself, Jinyun still comforted the other person gently:
"This is my private cabin. You'll be safe here."
"Come on, can you sit up? Eat something first."
"..."
The vigilance in Bronya's eyes never disappeared. Based on her years of experience walking on the edge of a knife, she knew that the young man in front of her had no ill will towards her.
She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she seemed to have figured something out and decided to let it go.
Anyway, I have fallen into this situation, what else do I have to lose?
Bronya struggled again, using all her strength, and finally sat up.
"It's hard for you to eat staple food in your current state, so I made you a bowl of porridge."
Jinyun sat next to Bronya, put the crutches in his hand aside, and picked up a bowl of porridge.
He scooped up a spoonful of hot porridge and brought it to Bronya's mouth: "Come."
"..."
Seeing the other party stammering and looking trembling and terrified, Jinyun couldn't help but laugh at himself:
"Look at me, sorry, I forgot this is fresh porridge, it's still hot."
After saying that, he patiently blew on the porridge to warm it up and brought it to the other person's mouth again.
Bronya opened her mouth, but the dryness in her throat prevented her from speaking at first. After a brief hesitation, she swallowed the porridge in the spoon with the mentality that she was going to die.
This is a bowl of very ordinary millet porridge.
There were no side dishes, and the plump white rice grains were emitting steaming mist, which looked bland and tasteless.
But what you taste when you take a bite is a hint of sweetness that moistens your lips and teeth.
This bowl of porridge... contains sugar.
"I took the liberty of adding some sugar, which should make it taste better."
Bronya chewed the millet porridge carefully, rolled her tongue and throat lightly, and swallowed it.
It was indeed just ordinary porridge, and no deadly poison was added to it.
She stared at Jinyun, somewhat puzzled, and asked him in a slightly dry voice:
"......Why?"
Jinyun smiled and replied: "Huh? Don't you know? When you are in a bad mood, sweets can make you happy~"
"I, I want to ask, why do you want to help me?"
"Ah, you want to ask this?" Jinyun thought for a moment and said casually, "Maybe, because of a coin?"
"...Are you trying to tell me my worth?"
"No."
Jinyun scooped another spoonful of rice porridge, blew on it to warm it, and fed it to Bronya's mouth.
This time, the latter did not hesitate. He opened his lips obediently and used his soft little tongue to scoop up the food from the spoon.
The smile on Jinyun's face couldn't help but grow more intense.
This feeling is like feeding a stray cat that I picked up:
"I just can't leave you alone."
"..."
Bronya didn't say anything else. Just like that, with Jinyun feeding her, she drank a whole bowl of millet porridge.
Jinyun put down the bowl and took out a sugar pill from his pocket.
This is the pill he bought in the mall, which can restore the character's health value: "Here, take the medicine, it can heal your wound."
Bronya's dim eyes once again showed vigilance, and Jinyun couldn't help but comfort her:
"Don't worry, this is not poison. If I really wanted to kill you, wouldn't it be better if I just ignored you from the beginning?"
"..."
A moment of hesitation flashed across her pretty face, and then Bronya took the pill and swallowed it.
Afterwards, Jinyun helped her lie back on the sofa and covered her with a blanket with his own hands.
Bronya, who had never been treated so tenderly and cared for before, had a complicated look on her face:
"So, you're helping me just because you're being merciful?"
Jinyun nodded: "Ah, I guess so, you can think so."
"I do not understand......"
Bronya smiled bitterly:
"You, haven't you heard this saying——"
"The conscience of this city has long been dead."
Jinyun did not answer, but reached out and gently touched her soft silver hair:
"Have a good sleep, sweetheart."

Chapter 21 Adaptation is not random editing!
When Bronya woke up again, the day had already set and the boundless sky was stained with a layer of lonely black.
Jinyun sat on a recliner next to the fireplace, holding a thick book in his hand. He seemed to be reading, but in fact he was checking Bronya's status bar:
【饱食度：27/100】
[Mood value: 15/100]
[Health value: 60/100]
[Bond value: 10 (casual acquaintance)]
[Emotions: Hungry, weak, confused, uneasy]
The medicine bought from the mall was indeed very effective. Bronya's health value has recovered to 60 points. It is estimated that she will be fully recovered by tomorrow morning.
The biggest problem now is that the little girl is in a very low mood. Although she has let down her guard, she is still uneasy about the current situation.
I had already told her that I would not hurt her, and she took the pill out of trust...
Well, it looks like it will take some time to completely calm her down.
"Are you awake? How do you feel?"
Jinyun closed the book, placed it on his knees, and smiled at Bronya who had just woken up.
He tried his best to look friendly so as to calm the other person down to the greatest extent possible.
"The wound... doesn't seem to hurt that much anymore."
Bronya stretched her limbs and nodded slightly to Jinyun to express her gratitude:
"Thank you, thank you..."
"You have a lot of wounds on your body." Jinyun asked knowingly, "What happened?"
"..."
“Recently, the problem of black market human trafficking has become increasingly serious, as the emergence of Honkai has caused national resources to become scarce and countless children have been displaced.
Some young children were sold as slaves...
You are a runaway slave, aren't you?"
Bronya opened her lips and wanted to deny the other party, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't dare to say it.
She couldn't reveal that she was a killing machine trained by the military.
One is that I can’t, and the other is that I don’t want to.
She didn't want this good man who showed her kindness as precious as gold to know her cold-blooded and cruel past.
So, she nodded: "Bronya... escaped from a wealthy businessman."
"really."
Jinyun smiled slightly and did not intend to expose the other party's lies.
Or rather, he had anticipated that Bronya didn't want him to know her dark past, so he deliberately gave her a way out.
Following this staircase, Bronya asked: "You, you saved me, are you going to be my master?"
"Owner?"
"Like, they are..."
Hmm, are you talking about the cold-blooded military that trains orphans? The original work only used a few words to portray the ugly faces of those bastards.
