Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

"Cheng Ji, wake up!" Zhang Qiling walked over quickly, gently supported the young man, frowned and called out softly.

Hearing the familiar voice, the boy forced himself to open his eyes, his eyes filled with confusion brought by pain.

Through his blurry vision, Cheng Ji seemed to see the figure of a person he had been thinking about day and night.

"Have I arrived in heaven? No...I should only be destined for hell, but why did I see God..." The young man spoke in a hoarse voice, his head feeling dizzy.

"How are you?" Zhang Qiling asked with anxiety in his eyes when he saw that the young man showed signs of waking up.

The two consecutive questions from the person in front of him finally made the young man sober up a lot, and he realized that the person in front of him was the real Zhang Qiling, not an illusion he had imagined.

The boy struggled for a few times, but the dizziness and backlash from excessive blood loss came one after another, and his body, which had just stood up, went limp again.

What greeted him was not the pain of colliding with the ground, but a warm embrace.

The young man raised his head and looked at the god who embraced him when he fell, and was a little stunned.

"Zhang... Chief Zhang, what a coincidence." The young man still remembered the man's distant attitude when they parted last time, so he had to greet him politely.

"Unfortunately, I'm here to see you." Zhang Qiling explained with his jaw clenched when he heard the boy address him.

Looking for my...?

The young man hesitated and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?" Then he looked at the surroundings and seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly explained, "I haven't had time to go in yet. I don't want to worry about your family's secrets."

Looking at the young man in front of him who was still trying his best to explain to him even though he was extremely weak, Zhang Qiling's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache, and then he nodded and said, "I know you won't."

The young man just let out a long sigh and moved his body slightly. The softness of his back suddenly reminded him of where he was lying, and his relaxed body tensed up again.

Cheng Ji took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket with some embarrassment and poured it into his mouth as if it was free.

After another cup of tea, the boy regained some strength under the effect of the medicine.

"Well, Patriarch Zhang, I can walk by myself..." Cheng Ji used a little force but failed to break free from Zhang Qiling's hands around his waist, so he had to speak in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling glanced at the young man and put down his hands.

Seeing that Patriarch Zhang was so cooperative, Cheng Ji finally let out a sigh of relief and quickly struggled to stand up from Zhang Qiling's arms.

Why is Zhang Qiling acting a little abnormal today? After they parted a few years ago, he thought he didn't want to see him again. He must hate this half-baked lunatic who likes to show off his abilities.

Zhang Qiling also followed the boy's movements, stood up, and rubbed his fingers with the back of his hand that had been restrained on the boy's waist in the dark with some lingering look.

Did the little liar have a hard time these past few years? He's too thin...

Cheng Ji, who had no idea of ​​the inner thoughts of the person behind him, leaned against the stone wall beside him and said carefully: "Patriarch Zhang, when you came just now..."

"Don't call me Patriarch Zhang." Zhang Qiling stared into the boy's eyes and said seriously.

"?" The boy was a little overwhelmed by the interruption and could only ask in a low voice: "What is it called?"

Zhang Qiling didn't answer, but just stared at him quietly.

The young man, who was a little scared by being stared at, thought frantically: "Mr. Zhang?"

Keep watching——

"Brother Zhang?"

stare--

Cheng Ji couldn't think of any suitable address, so he had to face Zhang Qiling's gaze and called out tentatively.

"elder brother?"

"Yeah." Zhang Qiling, who had been motionless for a long time, finally responded this time.

Cheng Ji almost bit his tongue when he heard Zhang Qiling's response.

No, didn’t you forbid him to call it that before?

The boy was full of doubts but didn't dare to ask.

"What were you about to say?" Zhang Qiling remembered the half sentence that the young man had not finished saying and asked.

The young boy, who was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside by Zhang Qiling's grenade, had temporarily lost the ability to think independently. When he heard Zhang Qiling's question, he asked what he wanted to say before.

"Zhang... uh... brother, did you see a man in black when you came in just now?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head and said, "No, there is only you."

It seems the clue is broken again.

Cheng Ji came back to his senses and nodded with some disappointment: "Okay."

"Someone very important?"

Cheng Ji denied: "No, I don't know him."

Zhang Qiling looked at the skin on the boy's neck, which had turned outward and had some unsightly scratches. His eyes darkened and he asked, "He hurt me?"

The boy didn't want to hide it: "Yeah, but I don't know where he hates me so much."

Zhang Qiling took the boy's hand and walked him out slowly, saying, "Wang family."

Cheng Ji was craving for the warmth in his hands that he had regained after so many years, and his tone was a little surprised: "You mean he might be a member of the Wang family?"

Zhang Qiling nodded, then shook his head: "I guessed that the only one among the Nine Gates who can hurt your abilities is Er Yuehong."

Cheng Ji responded seriously, "Indeed, but the Second Master will not hurt me, so it must be the Wang family. But why would they target me and know my moves so well?"

"You said he knows your moves well?"

Cheng Ji nodded slightly: "Not only that, my Fenghou Qimen is ineffective against him. This is something I still don't understand. According to common sense, I should be able to sense everything in my Qimen Bagua formation, but I found that I can't sense him."

Zhang Qiling held the boy's hand tightly without interrupting his thoughts.

"There are some sword techniques that I haven't even used before, but he knows them all. This is so strange."

"I won't let anything happen to you again." Zhang Qiling turned around, looked into the young man's eyes, and made his promise word by word.

The young man raised his lips and smiled: "Okay, brother, you must protect me."

"Ah."

"You'll take me with you wherever you go?"

"Ah."

"Take me back to your house?"

"..."

Zhang Qiling was somewhat helpless. He found that as long as he left things alone, the boy would become more and more unscrupulous.

Then he thought of the boy's previous criminal record and added seriously, "If you don't get yourself hurt."

"What?" The young man didn't understand Zhang Qiling's sudden and somewhat nonsensical words.

"If you don't let yourself get hurt."

"I'll take you home."

Really, I can accept good or bad book reviews. My child just wants to see what everyone thinks of my book. After all, it is the first book and lacks self-awareness. ?( ′???` )
