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

"Zhang Rishan! I want to go home! I don't want to stay here. The whole room smells like disinfectant." After lying in the hospital for another two days, Zhang Zixi couldn't stand the boredom anymore and yelled to Adjutant Zhang that she wanted to be discharged.

"No, the doctor said we need to observe for another two days." Adjutant Zhang said as he sat beside her bed, holding her hand.

"No, no, no, I want to go out and eat sugar-coated rice cakes! I want to eat sugar cakes!" Zhang Zixi made a fuss and was about to get up and go out.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to eat after you're discharged from the hospital." Adjutant Zhang had no choice but to coax her and let her sit down.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a bag of something wrapped in lotus leaves was thrown over. Zhang Zixi caught it quickly.

"You're still making such a fuss even after being shot. Do you have endless energy, Zhang Zixi? You're still acting the same as you were when you were a kid." It was Chenpi who opened the door, and what he threw in was sugar-coated rice cakes.

"Chenpi! How do you visit people like this? Can't you just take it? Why do you have to throw it away like this?" Zhang Zixi complained to Chenpi while grabbing the sugar-coated cake.

"Hmph, if you can't even catch this, you don't have to eat it." Chenpi said with disdain, holding his hands.

Chen Pi looked at Adjutant Zhang who didn't make any move when he saw him coming, raised his eyebrows and said, "Deputy Commander Zhang, it will be ok if I leave for a while, right? What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will steal your people?"

Adjutant Zhang thought about how Zhang Zixi was captured by Lu Jianxun last time thanks to him, so even though he was a little reluctant, he still chose to get up and leave, saying, "You guys chat, I'll go back to the mansion to get some food."

"Miss Zhang, that's great. She was hit by a bullet but got a life back. It's a good deal." After seeing Adjutant Zhang leave, Chen Pi sat beside Zhang Zixi's bed and teased her.

"Tsk, who wants to get shot? It must hurt, okay? You really can't even talk without any pain in your waist." Zhang Zixi pushed him when she heard her teasing her.

"I'm sitting, not standing." Chen Pi joked with her with a smile.

"You, you, you, go away, go away. Really, I don't even know what you are here for." Zhang Zixi heard him joking and smiled, pretending to chase him away.

"By the way, did Lu Jianxun cause you any trouble later?" Zhang Zixi thought that since Lu Jianxun came chasing them, he must have known that they had run away.

"As for his useless subordinates, he was so angry that he didn't dare to do anything. But after he found out, he came to me and asked for an explanation."

"and then?"

"Then I told him directly that I was the one who let you go. What could he do?" In fact, Chen Pi did not tell Zhang Zixi that although Lu Jianxun did not dare to touch his people, he secretly did bad things and ruined several of his dock businesses.

"Sure, Fourth Master. He's Lu Jianxun's nemesis." Zhang Zixi echoed him after hearing his confident words.

"Hmph, stop looking down on me, you little brat." Chen Pi said nonchalantly.

The two chatted for a long time. Chen Pi guessed that Adjutant Zhang was about to come back, so he planned to get up and leave.

"Okay, you take a good rest. I'm leaving first. Go to my place to pick strawberries after you leave the yard. They'll go bad if you don't eat them now." Chen Pi stood up, said something to Zhang Zhixi, and left.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Chen Si for your concern~" Zhang Zixi smiled and waved goodbye to Chen Pi.

Chen Pi looked at Zhang Zixi, who looked full of energy. He turned his back to her, smiled, opened the door and went out.

When the door opened, Chen Pi saw, as expected, Adjutant Zhang already standing by the door.

"Mr. Zhang, be nice to her and don't let her get hurt again, otherwise, I won't forgive you." Chen Pi looked at Adjutant Zhang with a slightly threatening look.

"Nonsense, do you even need to tell me that?" Adjutant Zhang also glanced at him.

After getting a positive answer, Chenpi nodded and left.

"Chenpi, thanks to you for your help last time. Thank you." Adjutant Zhang thought for a moment and stopped him and said something more.

"I'm not helping you, why are you talking so much?" Chenpi turned his back to him, waved his hand and walked away.

Qi Tiezui lived up to his name and really spread the news that Adjutant Zhang and Zhang Zixi were together to every household in the Nine Gates. However, he overlooked one thing - that is, not everyone would celebrate this event.

For example...Xie Rong is one of them.

"I'm so angry, I'm so angry, why didn't Zhang Zixi fall from that bullet? What a fool is this, adjutant brother, does he like her so much?" When Xie Rong heard the news, she was so angry that she threw things and stomped her feet in her room.

She thought that as long as the two of them didn't establish a relationship, she would have a chance, but now they even kissed each other, what else can she do?

But Jie Rong is not someone who will accept her fate. She will get what she wants even if it means having to force it.

She tilted her head to look at the calendar on the wall, and some ideas came to her mind...

"Zhang Zixi, I'll let you be proud for a while. When the time comes, I'll naturally be able to snatch the adjutant brother away." Xie Rong said to herself angrily.

The Nine Gates have an unwritten rule that every month and a half a year, one of the Nine Gates will take turns hosting a banquet to entertain everyone, and no gate will be absent on this day.

Now it is almost the end of the year, and it is naturally the turn of the Li family to host the last banquet of the year.

Master Jiujie attached great importance to this and started preparing for it three months in advance.
