Chapter 25

Li Zhi frowned and wrinkled her nose. In Jiang Yue's eyes, she didn't like the stinky smell in the closed environment of the boxing ring.

He pursed his lips, his eyes flashing with self-blame, somewhat annoyed at his own recklessness in bringing a delicate little female like Zhizhi to such a dirty place.

Li Zhi tried hard to suppress the strong disgust in his heart, raised his head and looked at Jiang Yue in confusion: "What are we doing here?"

There was a sadness and complexity in Jiang Yue's eyes that Li Zhi could not understand. He was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"Zhizhi, I was born on a garbage planet. Do you know what a garbage planet is? It is a planet that has been abandoned by the empire due to depleted resources and has no hope in sight."

"Back then, I was kidnapped by space pirates and sold to this underground boxing gym. The rule here is a life-and-death fight. Once you get on the ring, only one of the two can survive."

"During those years, I lived in a filthy environment. I fought like a wild animal to survive. I injured and killed many people. My hands were stained with blood. I lived in a daze."

"Until one day, the commander saw me and said I had great potential. He brought me to the army for training. With my own abilities, I was promoted to major general step by step and lived a relatively decent life."

Li Zhi listened to Jiang Yue talking about his past, and finally understood the reactions and words of the two burly men at the door before and today.

Looking at the bloody beasts fighting like trapped animals on the ring, thinking that one of them was Jiang Yue, his nose felt sour and his eyes turned red.

Jiang Yue beside him panicked, regretting his carelessness again, and said worriedly: "Zhizhi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? It's all my fault. Come on, I'll take you home!"

"No." Li Zhi shook his head, sniffed, and whispered, "I just wanted to hear you out. I feel so sorry for you."

Jiang Yue was speechless.

Does she feel sorry for him?
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and looked at Li Zhi. He felt even more courageous to reveal his most sincere heart to her and to confess the words that were hidden in his heart.

"Zhizhi, now you know my past. I am just a lonely person, living in an endless sea of ​​suffering and facing death. I have nothing but fighting for my life."

"And you, you are the most beautiful existence, the only bright light that appears in my life. Since I met you, I have found the meaning of this life, and I have also found the warmth and sense of belonging of home."

"A warrior is a profession that is bloodthirsty and will lose control and turn into a beast sooner or later. I don't know how long I can stay with you, but I just want to be able to protect you and see you happy in the days before you lose control."

"So, Zhizhi, I really want to be your guardian. No matter how difficult it is, I want to officially have this status."

Li Zhi burst into tears as she listened to his sincere and loving confession.

She didn't know what love was, and had never been loved well, but at this moment, she thought that she was truly in love with this man who cherished her and was willing to protect her with his life.

Her heart, which had been wandering and lonely for a long time, was suddenly filled with a ruthlessness. She had to make Jiang Yue her guardian, and even tried hard to find a way to prevent him from losing control.

She must be worthy of his firm choice and protection for her!
Li Zhi sniffed and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, he looked up and asked an irrelevant question: "What is the beast form of the commander?"

Jiang Yue didn't understand her intention. He was stunned for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "Blue python."

"Okay." Li Zhi waved her little fist, gritted her teeth, and looked cute and fierce: "Let's go buy some snakes. I'll make you some snake soup tonight!"
-
When he returned home in the evening, Li Zhi showed off his cooking skills and prepared a welcoming banquet. The main dish was undoubtedly snake soup.

Jiang Yue was surprised, but couldn't hide his guilt: "Zhizhi, thank you for your hard work. I'll do it tomorrow."

Li Zhi waved her hand: "What's so hard about this? I'm used to it."

"?" Jiang Yue remembered the message he received after completing the mission, in which Su Jing showed off the food cooked by Li Zhi. This guy actually kept letting Zhi Zhi cook for him. He immediately gave him a death look.

Su Jing ignored him and stared at the snake soup on the table. He could feel that after the two of them came back from somewhere, their relationship had obviously reached a new level, and their hearts and eyes were full of each other.

He suddenly felt unbearable and announced, "I'm moving back home tomorrow."

"Ah?" Li Zhi raised his head, looking surprised: "Don't you live here anymore?"

Thinking of the woman lying in the research institute who was very important to Su Jing, she couldn't help but worry about him: "Then you go home, what about the marriage?"

Su Jing looked at the ignorant Li Zhi. How could she be so clueless about his inner feelings and yet still care about his marriage!
A nameless fire suddenly surged in his heart, and he lost his mind and said impulsively, "Just make a connection, no one cares anyway."

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Su Jing suddenly changed his mind, but still said softly: "Okay then, as long as you are happy."

Su Jing felt as if he had punched cotton. His throat choked and his heart bled. He was in so much pain that he pretended to be indifferent and smiled nonchalantly, "Thank you, Xiao Lizhi."

He couldn't help but asked again: "Are you happy?"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and tilted his head: "Of course I'm happy for you, I hope you're happy too."

"."

Su Jing felt that he could no longer maintain the calm and smiling expression he was forcing on his face. He stood up in a somewhat embarrassed manner and wanted to go back to the balcony of his room to get some fresh air.

Li Zhi watched Su Jing push the chair away with a sizzling sound and quickly leave and go upstairs. She asked Jiang Yue in a daze, "Did I say something wrong? It seems that Su Jing is a little unhappy?"

She tilted her head, thinking about how Su Jing seemed to have been staring at the snake soup just now, and muttered to herself: "Is it because I didn't make the chicken he likes? He doesn't like eating snakes?"

Jiang Yue glanced at her calmly, not knowing whether he should be thankful for her slowness or mourn for Su Jing.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong. Don't think too much. I'll go up and check on him later."

After dinner, Jiang Yue went up to the guest room on the second floor. The door was open, and he could see Su Jing standing on the balcony, looking inexplicably desolate.

He knocked on the door gently, walked in and stood half a step behind Su Jing, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Have you really thought about the marriage?"

Su Jing leaned on the balcony railing, looking at the dark night outside, his face expressionless, his voice hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, he said coldly: "What does this have to do with whether I want it or not? Do I have the final say on whether I like it or it's suitable?"

Jiang Yue understood what he meant, lowered his eyes, and said directly in a deep voice: "Su Jing, Zhizhi is very naive and slow in emotions. If you want to be liked by Zhizhi, you need to be proactive and brave. If you don't tell her, she won't know."

Su Jing pulled the corners of his lips and said self-deprecatingly: "What can I do if I know? Am I embarrassing myself? Xiao Lizhi has always treated me as a brother, how can I speak up! Besides, I came upstairs because I was in a bad mood. Do you think she cares?"

He glanced at Jiang Yue with a somewhat sarcastic smile: "It's you who is the one to enlighten me, Jiang Yue, do you really not mind?"

Jiang Yue was silent for a moment, his eyes dark, filled with bitterness and helplessness: "My estrus period is coming soon, I don't think I can make it this time."

Su Jing's expression suddenly changed and he looked over with a frown.

"It's a good thing that you are protecting Zhizhi." Jiang Yue smiled, his eyes full of trust and seriousness: "And as a brother, A Jing, I also hope you are happy."

Su Jing looked at him silently for a long time, and a bitter smile with a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his lips: "No wonder Zhi Zhi cares about you so much, you really love me to the core, Jiang Yue."

"She's worth it." Jiang Yue patted his shoulder and said, "A Jing, think about it carefully. Don't act on impulse and do something you will regret."
