Chapter 24
Jiang Yue opened his eyes, and what he saw was Li Zhi's little face full of worry and concern.
"Jiang Yue, you're awake!" Li Zhi exclaimed in surprise, and asked hurriedly, "How do you feel? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Jiang Yue finally saw the face he had been thinking about day and night. He looked at her intently and greedily. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was a dream or reality. His throat was blocked by surging and complex emotions and he couldn't speak.
Li Zhi's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly looked at the man in the white coat next to him: "Su Jing, why is Jiang Yue not talking? Is he not recovered yet? Do you want to check him again?"
"He's fine." Su Jing chuckled twice, his voice colder than the snow on the glacier for thousands of years: "We've used the top-level treatment agents on him. If it doesn't work, it means he's already dead."
Jiang Yue shifted his gaze slightly, and then he noticed Su Jing, who had been standing next to Li Zhi, with his arms folded across his chest and an inexplicably grim expression on his face.
"I am fine."
He opened his mouth and uttered a low, hoarse voice. He slowly sat up in the treatment cabin, his eyes still fixed on Li Zhi. His Adam's apple moved slightly as he called out the name in his mind:
"Zhizhi, I'm back."
Hearing this intimate name, Su Jing's face suddenly became even uglier, and he said coldly: "You guys chat, I'm going out first."
He felt like a clown and walked out quickly as if he could no longer bear it. Only Li Zhi and Jiang Yue were left in the room.
Li Zhi carefully looked him up and down, and after confirming that he was fine, she felt relieved. Only then did she realize that the longing that had been suppressed due to worry emerged in her mind.
After a short separation, she learned a lot about what he had done silently for her, and their emotions had already developed a deep and mellow taste.
Li Zhi lowered her eyes slightly, her voice filled with dependence and grievance that could not be concealed: "You are finally back safely."
Jiang Yue couldn't help but raised his hand and gently stroked her head, his voice low and gentle: "Well, I'm back. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Thinking of what happened before he fell into a coma, he lowered his eyes apologetically: "You know about the injury, I'm sorry, I failed this time, but I will continue to challenge until the adults agree, don't worry."
Hearing his words, Li Zhi's face suddenly changed, and he nervously dissuaded him: "No, I'm worried!"
"I just wanted to wait for you to come back and talk to you about this. Since the commander doesn't agree, then don't apply. It's okay for you not to be my guardian!"
"And I know everything. Artificial pheromone inhibitors have strong side effects. If you use them a few times, your current condition will be very dangerous. I don't have pheromones. What if you lose control like this? I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"
"No." Jiang Yue shook his head, his eyes were firm and Li Zhi couldn't understand: "I will definitely be your guardian."
"Why do you have to be my guardian?"
Li Zhi didn't understand why he was so persistent and stubborn, but she didn't want to see Jiang Yue hurt himself for her again, so she said anxiously:
"Even if you don't become my guardian, we still live together, just like before. You can find a female who can help you. It won't affect anything at all!"
"No." Jiang Yue shook his head slowly but firmly. He was silent for a moment: "I'll take you somewhere."
Jiang Yue's body had completely recovered after being treated with top-grade medicine. The two walked out of the treatment room of the treatment center and did not see Su Jing. Hearing that he left without saying a word, they did not call him again.
Jiang Yue took her to the city center and walked into the dark and narrow alleys hidden between the tall buildings.
The long alleys are like a good place for the city's filth to hide, with mottled walls, ugly mechanical pipes, flashing neon signs, and overturned trash cans everywhere.
There are also occasional flashes of male figures who are drinking and having fun during the day, staggering and sneaking around.
Turning left and right, I arrived at the alley with the black gate that I had been to before.
The two burly men with knotty muscles, scars, fierce eyes and bandit-like aura were still standing at the door.
One was blind in his left eye and wore an eye patch, and the other had a hideous scar on his face.
Li Zhi already knew that the injuries of these two people were caused by Jiang Yue, and she immediately shrank behind Jiang Yue nervously, wondering if they would have an argument or a fight.
Seeing Jiang Yue and the other man, the man with the eyepatch on his left eye whistled immediately, and his remaining right eye flashed with malicious eyes as he glanced at Li Zhi:
"Hey, what a rare guest! Why did you bring a delicate little female with you? Are you going to sell her for a good price? If so, don't give her away cheaply to others. Just tell me a price and I'll buy it!"
The scarred man bared his yellow teeth and scolded angrily, "You idiot, how could the honorable Imperial Major General sell a little female? He must have brought the beauty here for fun. I wonder if the lord would like to show off his heroic spirit in person?"
Jiang Yue glanced at the two of them coldly, and used his body to firmly block Li Zhi, and said in a low and cold voice: "Get out of the way."
The two of them immediately bowed with their teeth bared, deliberately nodding and fawning, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Yes, yes, how dare we block your way, please come in."
After they entered, there was a sneer of contempt from behind them: "Bah, you really think you are nobles, don't you see who you were before?"
"."
Li Zhi followed Jiang Yue into the black gate in a daze, only to find that there seemed to be an underground boxing ring inside.
The lights in the room were dim, and the enclosed space was stuffy. In the middle, there was a huge circular arena illuminated by spotlights.
The edge of the ring was surrounded by a circle of solid and cold metal railings, like a large cage. Inside, two large beasts, covered in blood and scars, were fighting a desperate battle, roaring fiercely or in pain.
The two floors of seats around were surprisingly packed, business was booming, and the enthusiastic males watched the life-and-death fight on the stage with shining eyes, cheering loudly from time to time, making it extremely lively and noisy.
"Okay! Kill that guy!"
"Go ahead! I've placed a bet!"
Jiang Yue walked behind Li Zhi like a guard, motioning her to follow him to the second-floor stands. They walked up the steam-age-style metal stairs, which made clattering sounds wherever they stepped.
Beside the dim and hidden narrow stairs, there were quite a few males behaving strangely, some standing drowsily against the wall, some slumped on the ground with their eyes closed, their life or death unknown.
Beside them, there were empty syringes of some kind of reagent scattered on the ground. Li Zhi took a look and saw the label on it read Chongxing Company - Artificial Pheromone Inhibitor.
The taste here is not right
It wasn't just smelly, but there was a smell that made her feel disgusted from the bottom of her soul.
