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

The weather today is still gloomy, with dark clouds hanging low, as if they are about to fall from the sky.

The two walked one after the other, but the rain never came without asking whether the pedestrians on the road were ready. After a loud thunder, bean-sized raindrops fell mercilessly on the world.

"Miss, it's raining so hard, let's find a place to hide for a while." Adjutant Zhang chased after her, took off his coat and held it up to cover her.

"Miss, the rain is too cold, don't get wet." Adjutant Zhang persuaded her again. Seeing that she still had no intention of stopping, he got anxious and grabbed Zhang Zhixi's arm and led her to the nearby eaves.

Zhang Zixi was not cooperating at first, so he pulled harder.

When they stopped, Zhang Zixi had no time to steady herself and happened to bump into Adjutant Zhang's chest. Adjutant Zhang subconsciously reached out and held her in his arms.

The collision was not a big deal, but it made both of them blush.

Zhang Zixi reacted first. She quickly got up from his arms, blushing and leaning against the wall with him to avoid the rain.

The atmosphere was very good, but unfortunately, Jie Rong, who had not walked far away, was also taking shelter under the eaves here. However, because there were so many people taking shelter, Adjutant Zhang and Zhang Zixi did not see her for a while.

But they didn't know that she happened to see what happened just now.

"This bitch! She dared to seduce the adjutant brother. I will definitely teach her a lesson." Xie Rong said as she pushed through the crowd and walked in front of them, raising her hand to slap Zhang Zixi again.

Zhang Zixi was already ill, and because of what had just happened, her head was a little dizzy. She was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed and resting, and did not notice Jie Rong who appeared in front of them.

Just when Xie Rong was about to slap Zhang Zixi in the face, someone grabbed her wrist and stopped her.

Zhang Zixi felt the flow of air around her and opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Jie Rong staring at her with hatred, and Adjutant Zhang grabbed Jie Rong's wrist, preventing her from slapping her again.

"Miss Jie, what exactly are you going to do?" Adjutant Zhang's tone was much colder than before as he questioned Jie Rong.

"Adjutant brother... I! She just bullied me and you didn't help me, and now she is seducing you. How can I stand it! I... Of course I have to teach her a lesson." Jie Rong trembled suddenly when she heard Adjutant Zhang's cold tone.

"Miss Jie Er, please speak with more respect. Also, I'm helping you. If you slap me like that today, I'm afraid Master Jiu will have to come to the door in person to apologize on your behalf." Adjutant Zhang let go of her hand and threatened.

"why?"

"Because Jiu Ye loves his sister, and Buddha Ye does it even more. If this slap hits his sister on the face, what will Jiu Ye do? Buddha Ye will only do worse than him. There is no way he will reduce it by even a little bit!"

"What? She is..."

Adjutant Zhang explained it so clearly that even if Jie Rong was not very smart, she should have understood it. However, she was a little scared now and did not dare to give her answer.

"Then...even so...she can't..." Jie Rong's sharp voice became noisy again, making Zhang Zixi's already dull and painful head even more uncomfortable.

"Tell her to stay away from me...she's so noisy..." Zhang Yuxuan couldn't bear to hear Jie Rong making so much noise anymore, so she reached out and held Adjutant Zhang's arm, as if to signal to him that she didn't want to stay with Jie Rong.

"Okay..." Adjutant Zhang understood the meaning of his eldest lady's words, but he couldn't just drive Jie Rong away. He had to put his coat on Zhang Zixi to protect her and move her to another place.

The weather had become much cooler due to the heavy rain, and Zhang Zixi had a fever again. She felt groggy and suddenly everything in front of her eyes became unclear. She instinctively grabbed the arm of Adjutant Zhang beside her.

Adjutant Zhang felt the force on his arm and quickly looked down. Because of the height difference between them, he saw the tattoo spreading up from Zhang Zixi's exposed neck.

Seeing that Zhang Zixi was about to fall, Adjutant Zhang quickly reached out to support her. However, he felt the abnormality of Zhang Zixi's body temperature through the clothes, and he knew that she must have a fever.

Zhang Zixi held on to Adjutant Zhang's hand for a while, but finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell straight into his arms.

"Miss! Miss!?" Adjutant Zhang caught her, and seeing that she didn't respond, he quickly hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Miss, hold on for a while, the car from the mansion will be here soon." Adjutant Zhang said as he protected the person tightly.

Just now when he was hiding from the rain, he saw the patrolling personal soldiers and asked them to hurry back to Zhang's house to call a car. Calculating the time, it was time for them to arrive.

"Cold..." Zhang Zixi murmured in a daze, grabbing Adjutant Zhang's collar.

In the current situation, Adjutant Zhang had no other choice but to hug her tighter and tighter, hoping to relieve Zhang Yuxuan's discomfort through the transfer of body temperature.

Fortunately, the car from the Zhang residence arrived very quickly. Adjutant Zhang carried Zhang Zixi to the car. He wanted to put her in the back seat, but he sat back in the passenger seat according to the rules, as usual.

But Zhang Zixi unconsciously tugged at his collar in discomfort and refused to let go, so he had no choice but to sit in with her, put her on his lap, and let her lie in his arms. He also did not forget to stretch out his hand to hold her, for fear that the slightest bump in the car would make Zhang Zixi even more uncomfortable.
