Tomb Raider: Nine Gates Let Me Be the Group’s Pet

"Miss, you're finally awake. You don't know how scared we were when Adjutant Zhang carried you in yesterday. Are you still feeling unwell?" The question was asked by a servant named Xiaoqing who had always been following Zhang Zixi.

"I'm fine, just my head still hurts." Seeing her looking at her worriedly, Zhang Zixi quickly responded with a smile to reassure her.

When Xiaoqing heard that she had a headache, she hurriedly took out the ointment and said she would massage her.

Zhang Zixi then recalled that Xiaoqing had just said that it was Adjutant Zhang who carried her in yesterday, and her face turned red. She turned around and asked, "Then... what is the Adjutant... doing now..." She was afraid that the Adjutant would blame himself for the failure of the action and take risks again.

"Adjutant Zhang has brought back guests. Are they in the reception room now?"

"Guests? What guests?" Zhang Zixi was a little confused.

"I don't know either. He should be a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes."

"Oh, by the way, Adjutant Zhang also asked the kitchen to prepare authentic Hunan dishes. He told the chef to put as much chili pepper as we have in our house, and also ordered people to get the strongest white wine. We don't know what he was going to do." Xiao Qing thought for a moment and replied.

"Miss, who do you think can eat spicy food? Can this foreigner eat spicy food too?" Xiao Qing asked her question while pressing.

"Foreigners? Jude, are you asking?" Zhang Zixi reacted instantly.

"Why did the lieutenant bring Jude home?"

She didn't quite understand Adjutant Zhang's intentions.

"Hey, Miss!" Xiao Qing was startled to see that Zhang Zixi was thinking about something and didn't reply to her, and suddenly sat up straight.

"Xiaoqing, please help me get a coat, I'll go downstairs to take a look." After thinking for a while, Zhang Zixi decided to go downstairs to see the situation.

As soon as she walked into the living room, she saw Jude Kao and Tanaka being extremely upset by the spicy Hunan cuisine, and she laughed to herself.

"Miss." When Adjutant Zhang saw her come in, he nodded at her, and the guards around him automatically made way for her.

When Zhang Zixi saw everything, she realized that this was probably Adjutant Zhang's plan to take revenge on Jude Kao. When she passed by him, she smiled and patted his arm.

"Ms. Zhang, what does this mean?" Jude Kao saw her sitting on the sofa with a relaxed look on his face, and asked while trying to suppress the spiciness in his mouth.

"Since Mr. Jude Kao knows that 'the quality of one's wine reflects his character', he should also know that we Chinese people value reciprocity. Thanks to Mr. Jude Kao's fine wine yesterday, I had a good dream last night. So today I should invite Mr. Jude Kao to taste our Chinese fine wine and delicacies." Zhang Zixi looked at Jude Kao and smiled.

"Mr. Jude Kao, please don't waste it~"

Jude Kao and Tanaka looked around and knew that they were in Zhang's house. They had no choice but to eat as much as they could and drink the white wine. At the end of the meal, both of them covered their mouths and fled.

After Zhang Zixi had Qiu Dekao sent away, she looked at the "special Hunan cuisine" on the table and found it very interesting. She leaned over and used chopsticks to stir it and found that the fish was covered with layers of chili peppers. She couldn't help but sigh, "Are you eating fish or chili peppers?"

She took a bottle of high-proof liquor from the side, opened the lid and smelled it. She was instantly choked by the pungent smell of the liquor and pushed the bottle away with a look of disgust.

"I didn't expect that the adjutant who usually follows the rules could have bad intentions." Zhang Zixi turned around and looked at the adjutant with a smile on her face.

Adjutant Zhang knew that she was not criticizing him, but he felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his forehead unconsciously and said with a smile, "Miss, please don't make fun of me. I am just giving you a taste of your own medicine."

The servants waiting on the side saw the atmosphere between the two people getting warmer and couldn't help but feel puzzled, and kept muttering in their hearts: This adjutant is usually very cold, and all he talks about is Buddha and business, but how come he becomes so gentle when the young lady comes?
